The snp clan

GENERATION ONE
THE CREATION

The SNP clan began on October 27th 2010, when Hond posted our first article, “hello word”.{snp} started as a clan of only 3 members, the SNP now over 100 members! The clan was founded by Itachi, but Money and Hond joined about ten minutes later.

Here is a history of the generations of SNP,

The only thing to fear is fear itself! -snp

{snp} generation one members
Itachi, Money, Hond, Shank, Talon, Geki, Snake, Beast, Sparky, Ghost, Web, Saw, Marzi, Super, Washington (Tucker), Scaled, Nferno, Killer, sNiPeR, Sniper, Sniper-x, Kara, Boss and Killzo.

Right after the SNP clan was formed the generals started recruiting from other clans and from noob servers.(this is one reason why we are so successful) by the end of October SNP had about 10 members. SNP was from the beginning a very active clan, witch made us a little cocky. On October 28th 2010, SNP decided to attack the BOB clan for fun. With a 2 year history and many members BOB clan was the most likely victor. The SNP clan proceded to challange the BOB clan in a 3on3 battle. The BOB clan took their time to answer about the battle. As the SNP clan waited they decided to challenge the $N!Z clan. Hond, Shank, Sparky and Web took on $N!Z in a 4v4 match. $N!Z was an easy victory for the SNP clan, since SNP had the most powerful members on the game at that time.

Finally, the BOB clan agreed to fight the SNP clan. Fresh off the $N!Z victory, the SNP clan proceed without caution. Hond and MarZi took on Phantom and Lance in the fight. The SNP clan was beat by the BOB clan 151-150.(it is still a debate as to whether BOB was the victor because Hond fell off the platform and died once.) by November 16th SNP had 18 members and was doing great, after apologizing to BOB, BOB and SNP were now allies. The SNP clan proceeded to host a tourney in order for their members to get a chance to be promoted. At this time SNP started to have problems with fakers.(witch continues today)

Hond and other SNP members were having a hard time with itachi. He was randomly promoting people while the other generals did all the work. Hond proceeded to make a poll voting to boot Itachi! The poll results were 50-50 so Itachi was not booted. Hond and Itachi forgave each other after money talked some sense into them. And things proceeded like normal. At the end of generation one, 3 of our members were made members of the site, assigned with making important posts for the clan. With Snake, sNiPeR, and Beast now members of the site and moved up to the new rank of Lt., the first Sniper Sentinel came out, created by Beast! Generation one ofically ended on December 9 2010. with only 6,000 views and 23 members the SNP clan had a long way to go.

SNP was now one of the most active clans on battlefront. Fresh with 3 new Lts. News was streaming in faster than anyone could control. But on December 28 Itachi freaked out again. No one really knows why, but Yodasam the leader of the ~}PRO{~ clan says that him and Itachi got in a fight and itachi began to insult the ~}PRO{~ members while acting like a noob. No one knew if Itachi was still in SNP or not. Hond proceeded to let the people vote. Popular vote had it that Itachi could make his own choice of whether to leave or not. It appears as though he chose to stay.

After voting, the clan decided to have 3 divisions! Itachi, Money and Hond each got their own division and snp members were split up evenly between the divisions. Itachi had his Dark Assassins division, Money had the X-rays, and Hond had the Echo division. Although nothing important was ever really done with the divisions...

Generation 2 was by far our shortest generation, but generation 2 was perhaps the most peaceful and most beneficial generation for the SNP clan. On January 16 2011 generation 2 ended. Leaving our most important members still Cpls and Sgts. At very end there was huge tensions between PFA and SNP.

He took out his anger on Bounce and became so upset with himself that he decided to retire and stop playing swbf. He hasn't been heard from since.

SNP had to decied to go to war or not. the vote suceeded to attack PFA. Itachi came back out of no where to help us. The main cause for the war was to stop all the noobs in PFA. They called us names and would fake our members. Gman leader of the clan didn't want to fight, Eventually though he began to help his clan fight. Many Fakers of mostly Hond came out. The clan was in turmiol. Then we began to fight back.we spammed their guestbook, and they had to lock it from everyone, Leaving them isolated from other clans. Next we convinced some of their members to help us, and Itachi helped us break into their guestbook. we found lots of valuable information. A high ranked member of PFA named Storm, said Gman surenered, and we declared victory. Gman later says he never suredered. The war lasted about another Month. At the end we lost a couple of good members to the War. Heart was one we dearly miss one of the most.

By this time almost every single person from the American timezone was in our clan. We recruited a player named Leaf who lives in Autrailia. He recruited members from the Russian timezone and the Austrailia timezone, Which helped spread our clan out of just the American area. Other ranks were introduced such as Mjr. Dpl. and Amb. We had to many people with only our few ranks. There was some other new smaller clans such as DAM and RAL. Tensions were growing with them.

Preperations were made to have them as retired members since they were no longer active. About 15 people would soon be retired due to this.

We had became the largest clan in all of SWBF1 and still hold the title. We are also the Fastest growing clan next to PRO. Itachi left after the war and is believed to be on XBox live with Money. $N!Z clan fell and decided to join us. They will always be remembered as our very first Allies. We also gain other allies with a new clan called D&DNA. With their leader D-man. CT also became allies with us to help our cause in getting into Europe.

At the very beginning we were in a war with the Royal Air Legion {RAL} clan. At first {RAL} seemed ok until they decided to attack SNP. It turns out {RAL} didn’t know what they were getting into when they declared war on SNP. A brutal era of spying would soon begin, which after much thought, SNP is not very proud to have done. Spies from {RAL} were sent into SNP and SNP sent spies into {RAL}. Through combined efforts of Hond and Com, the {RAL}website was successfully destroyed. But the efforts weren't enough to prevent people from leaving the clan. Nferno who had become a Sgt recently in generation 4, left the clan to join {RAL} instead. Very soon afterword <span data-mce-style="color: #ff0000;" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); ">{RAL} <span data-mce-style="color: #ff0000;" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); "> reformed into a new clan, GSA. GSA was also out to kill snp. GSA declared war on SNP just a few days later. GSA sent spies to SNP, and SNP sent spies to GSA. Those were hard times. Although, GSA was small and not very active so after a while the spying died down and SNP just decided to ignore GSA, and soon GSA took us off their list of enemies.

Super started another news article, SWBF Nationwide News for fun at first, but decided to continue with it, and soon Com and Super decided to combine the {snp} news and SWBF Nationwide News.

On May 18 we celebrated our 6 month anniversary. A galactic conquest fun war was planed but never came to fruition.

On top of that we had a new general election. The candidates were all of our majors. Its was a very close run between Super and Anime. In the end Anime won by one vote. Talon was also made a general. They replaced Itachi and Money, who had both pretty much disappeared completely during generation 3. Super became the new diplomat for the clan. The rank of ambassador was also added, with Leaf becoming the first ambassador. Generation 4 saw the demise of a great member of SNP, Com. Com's father though he was too old for Bf1 so he wouldn’t let him play anymore. Com is still partly active on the site. We miss him very much. But then the {snp} news which Com had been posting since the start of the 4th generation was left with Super to post instead. Super was getting too busy to post both the SWBF Nationwide News and the {snp} news and the {snp} news was sadly gone. At this time Anime began to make videos for snp. He has so far made 5 videos. Fakers continued to terrorize us as they always have.

WUSI is a very old clan originally a 1.0 clan. They moved to 1.2 in 2009. Two of their members came back to 1.0 to beet up all the 1.0 clans with their tournying skills. Sad to say they were successful. Hence they have returned to 1.2 hopefully never to return.

Most if not all are lies, set up by who knows who. It wasn't until late in generation 4 that it was discovered that Money and Itachi were actually still around! The only problem is that they were both stuck on 1.2 and couldn't keep in contact with SNP except through the chat room on the site. They were and still are trying to find a way back to 1.0.

His absence helped high ranking SNP members have more control over the clan. Hond was able to come on a few times though. We held a bunch of party servers during June 2011 and had a great time. One party was to celebrate Ben's birthday! Also in June, Heart, who had left the clan because of the war with PFA, made a return to the clan! Then the Sniper Sentinel returned along with Beast!

He proceeded to start recruiting members and Bacon made a temporary leave from SNP to help Andy out. Andy chose to remain allies with SNP with the new {RSI} clan. {RSI} was successful for a short time but soon died out as fast as it had been started.

A great ally to SNP since the first generation, and a great and powerful clan. The idea of a fun war with the BOB clan had been hanging around for a while until one day Phantom contacted Super and set up plans for a fun war. Scheduling the battle was tough, but SNP demanded a Saturday for the battle against the wishes of BOB. Saturday July 22nd was decided for the battle. The battle was to be 2 rounds with a 5v5 setup with standard battle rules (no cp, no sk etc.) But Saturday was not a good day for the BOB clan. SNP managed to get 5 members ready, but BOB was unable to find enough members. BOB only had 3 members. But Phantom decided to go along and begin the battle anyway. Anime, Joe, Hond, Star and Super took on Phantom, Apollo and East from BOB on Cloud City for the first round. SNP won the battle with a reinforcement count of 118-115 at the end. Star had left during the fight making it a 3v4 match. Round 2 was set for Mos Eisley, but unfortunately Apollo and Phantom had to leave. East stayed and tried to find another BOB member to play in round 2. East found Obama and took on SNP in a 2v3 match with Super, Joe and Hond fighting for SNP. Though it did seem a bit unfair for round 2, and SNP won 150-154. Phantom became really disappointed about the loss fro round 1 and it was decided that round 2 would not count instead. Phantom wanted a better, more fair battle with SNP and requested a second fun war. Hond turned down the offer flat out because he was worried about playing against Chuck, who was a former BOB leader who had returned to help BOB out. But Phantom was still upset now that Hond and other SNP members had decided to not have a second battle. Phantom attacked Hond personally, calling him power hungry and demanded another battle. Hond got into a big argument with Phantom and SNP was thrown into chaos for the next 2 days. Everyone was confused about what was going on. No one knew what to do when Phantom and Hond wouldn't stop. People began to leave the clan. 4 people decided to retire amidst the confusion: Bounce, Brond, Faye and Klaos. The argument between Phantom and Hond died down and apologies were made. But some SNP members agreed with Phantom's accusations. It was seen that some of the accusations were probably true considering what had happened between {RAL}/GSA and SNP.

{SNP} generation five members
<p style="text-align:center;"> 1.0 members: Xeon, Fat, Spring, Corey, Jake, MayLinE, Tess, Alli, LordV, Knight, Tree, Caddy, Buck, Ivan, Naner, Pyro, Kop, Max, Puff, Zero, EmoKid, Over, Jet (Rocky/Blaze), Reaven, David, FlStudioS, Wraith, Guss, Jacob

<p style="text-align:center;"> 1.2 members: Antelope, NoVA, Tazer!, Warmonger, Prevatt, Yoda, Player 1

<p style="text-align:center;"> Generation 5 officially began on August 2nd, 2011. Since people weren’t really having fun in SWBF anymore, we decided it was time to shape up, especially after the argument between Hond and Phantom had severely damaged the clan.

<p style="text-align:center;"> Right away, a big fun week was quickly planned, with events like a wookie party, trooper wars, zombie and even a speeder race on Endor. The fun week was extremely successful, and helped get more people active and even helped attract lost members back to the clan. Just 4 days later, Bounce returned. Even Faye came back later in the month! Sadly it wasn’t enough to bring back Brond (who moved on to other games) or Klaos (who moved on to join ~}PRO{~ instead). Important to note at this time that 1.0 had been ablaze with members.

<p style="text-align:center;"> Shortly after Generation 5 began, SNP had greatly repaired relations with PFA. Gman, leader of PFA, offered an alliance, and after a clan vote, the alliance was official. {MKS} stopped attacking SNP and even got rid of their name after declaring SNP neutral.

<p style="text-align:center;"> Not everything can be peaceful though… in the middle of the fun week, we had a fun war with Shs. Super and Balo showed up to take on Lex and Anyder on Cloud City. The terms were standard 1.0 rules, first to 50 kills. During the battle, Lex complained about “unfair” kills that were very much fair… then he complained about a type kill when he stood in the middle of the hall. This resulted in a big argument between Balo and Lex. After making fun of Balo, Lex went on to say that it might be better if SNP and Shs weren’t allies. So Super ended the alliance between SNP and Shs right then and there. After arguing continued, Balo and Super agreed to leave the server. Since they left before finishing the fight, it was a default win for Shs. Shs would then go on to declare SNP as an enemy, but after that incident, nothing really happened between the 2 clans, and Shs made SNP neutral again.

<p style="text-align:center;"> But even after the incident with Shs, the fun continued. More clan members were added as members of the site. A video contest between Pal and Bacon began to see who could post the funnier video. Bacon ultimately came out on top lol (see our Post Index page if you’re curious about the videos!). Super revived the {snp} news and decided to continue it in memory of Com. Just for fun, we added a sort of custom rank, the Noob rank! Balo became the king noob for the clan xD. In SWBF, a fun war was arranged with the [RP] clan, a 1.0 clan based mostly in Russia. Hond and Jhuild would take on Gamer and Fixer (both really decent players) and would come out on top! Hond lagged out many times during the battle which left Jhuild to fight alone and he fought bravely to bring SNP to victory! SNP defeated [RP] 141-131.

<p style="text-align:center;"> In order to help out the clan, it was decided toward the end of August that there would be a fourth General and 2 new diplomats for the clan, because Anime and Talon were both kind of busy at the time. Super became the fourth General, and after a vote for diplomats, Scaled and Timo became our new diplomats! The rank of ambassador was decided to be useless because it was almost the same as diplomat at this point, so we got rid of it, and Leaf got the promotion he had been waiting for so long

<p style="text-align:center;"> Sadly, by the time September came around, MayLinE decided that Captain wasn’t a good enough rank for her skill, so she left the clan. Later it was found out that she had been multiclanning, and had been in BOB, A.T, and Titan all at once. Soon after, other French members would follow, such as Tess and Buck who had also been multiclanning. After multiple attempts to rejoin SNP, MayLinE (also known as Jinio and Angels at this point) was placed on our wanted list after trying to fake SNP members.

<p style="text-align:center;"> Back on the site, an era of stories would soon begin. First Anime began a story (though sadly he has only posted 2 parts). Balo and Ben started BaloBen Productions and began posting stories. Super continued the {snp} news and later started his own story. Beast continued with the Sniper Sentinel. Wanting in on all the fun, Bacon, Faye, and Bounce all started their own stories too! Though some stories are currently not being continued, all of them can be found on our Post Index (which was created specifically around this time as an archive for all of the videos and stories so that people could find them easily).

<p style="text-align:center;"> Unfortunately, as September came closer to an end, 1.0 lost all the activity it had seen over the summer. Sadly, there were days were almost no people would be playing. SNP sees a big decline in activity. Other clans begin to dry up as well, including BOB and ~}PRO{~. In an attempt to bring some life back to 1.0, Hond decided to host a clan tourney between the strongest clans on 1.0. The attempt was very unsuccessful, as there was no response from the A.T or BOB – clans, which other clans hoped would join in for the tourney. The tourney fell apart and never took place.

<p style="text-align:center;"> In October, tensions suddenly increased between SNP and Titan. Other clans on 1.0 were getting sick of all the multiclanners who originally came from Titan. SNP was close to war with Titan. Before SNP even made a decision about declaring war, though, Titan declared war on us instead. However, around the same time that Titan declared war on us, Titan broke itself into 3 branches, and a civil war was fought among the members of the clan. With this, Titan, which had been a really large and active clan at one point, destroyed itself from the inside out and faded away. Some of the other clans start to become slightly more active after this. ~}PRO{~ is saved from nearly falling apart. At this point, SNP decided to commemorate the $N!Z clan, which had been one of our first and best allies. It had fallen in February and Faye and CJ had joined SNP after declaring $N!Z to be dead. Because of everything $N!Z had done for us and also because of the close ties SNP had with the clan (many members of $N!Z had joined SNP over the months until it died, including Saw, Anime, Ann, Tucker and Web), we held a memorial day for $N!Z and used $N!Z tags in our names just for fun. After we held the memorial server, Ann decided to leave SNP and restart the $N!Z clan, but she has been too busy to do anything with it so far… Later we would also gain another clan as an ally, the Assassin ^Asn^ clan.

<p style="text-align:center;"> On October 27th, 2011, SNP officially celebrated its 1 year anniversary! It’s amazing how much has happened in a year! To make things even better, Ben returned from his long vacation and Tucker, who had retired early in the summer, also returned!

<p style="text-align:center;"> Early in Generation 5, a member of the clan who had been kicked out of SNP during Generation 3 named Fox came to the clan posing as a member named Darth (who had not been active in a long time). At first it was not known that Darth was Fox. He became a Lieutenant and was even added to the site. It was discovered that he was Fox (after matching IP numbers of Darth’s comments to Fox’s), and that he even created fake xfire accounts for both Money and Itachi. In November he was kicked out. He now remains the most wanted member on our wanted list.

<p style="text-align:center;"> After Titan fell and after the attempted clan tourney failed, it seemed as if SNP wouldn’t see any action with no battles or any other big events on 1.0… that is, until Anime suggested that SNP start a branch on 1.2. Everyone quickly liked the idea. Anime began bringing people over to 1.2. Within just a few days, nearly 15 members were able to play on 1.2. Our clan quickly caught the eyes of some familiar faces – WUSI. When WUSI started a branch in 1.0, SNP hadn’t exactly been a favorite clan of the few members of WUSI, and WUSI seemed to remember that as they quickly challenged us to small, quick battles on 1.2. We dominated WUSI in all of these battles except for one round on Cloud City. But we hadn’t made the decision official for starting a branch on 1.2, we needed to have a vote first. On November 21st, it was official – SNP branched to 1.2!

<p style="text-align:center;"> 2 days later, one of our members, Thodox, left to start his own clan on 1.2, the Vaktovian Empire (VE). Thodox had been a member of {RAL} back during our 3rd/4th generations, where he was then known as Kroft. After he lost control of {RAL} and their members who decided to attack SNP, he had given up on {RAL} and later disappeared once the {RAL} site was deleted. He returned a few months later and decided to join SNP. He would then go inactive and then return again to SNP and change his name to Thodox. It was hard to see a member go like this… but Thodox has been successful with his clan so far, and we respect the work he’s done with his clan. We have kept good relations with Thodox and (VE), and although when this was written we were not allies with (VE), there have been talks of a possible alliance.

<p style="text-align:center;"> Back on 1.0, at the end of November we decided to have another battle with our good friends in BOB. A battle was arranged at the last second for 2 rounds, one on Rhen Var Citadel and one on Hoth. Sadly the round 1 battle was ruined by a few uninvited guests, as well as some people that couldn’t follow the rules or keep themselves from insulting the other team. The battle wasn’t counted. Sadly, this would probably be the last time SNP would fight a battle like this on 1.0. Meanwhile, as 1.0 remained really inactive, SNP members explored around on 1.2, but SNP remained relatively unknown to most clans on 1.2.

<p style="text-align:center;"> That is, until the Freelancer Consortium [FC] found SNP. After a random fun war, the leader of [FC], Rage had asked if SNP was interested in being allies. While SNP contemplated the decision among our Generals and Diplomats before making a poll for a clan vote, Rage suddenly turned and stated that there would be no alliance and for no apparent reason decided that he hated SNP after being influenced by the member Shap, who spread lies about SNP to [FC]. After this, we just decided to ignore [FC] and the pathetic lies that their members tried to spread.

<p style="text-align:center;"> Eventually SNP would meet some friendlier clans on 1.2. Hond met members of the Elite Renegade Team [ERT], who were interested in being allies. At this point, SNP had no allies on 1.2 so it was great to find a potential ally. We would also meet Kevin, leader of The Grand Mercenaries (TGM), who was also interested in being allies. After a vote from the clan, both [ERT] and (TGM) became official allies. Shortly after, we’d also gained ^Asn^ as an ally on 1.2, after their leader Woody, successfully made it to 1.2. ^Asn^ is the first clan to be our allies on both 1.0 and 1.2. SNP gained some good recruits on 1.2 right away. Bacon was made a temporary diplomat to help Scaled and Timo out with their work on 1.2. Then we also caught the attention of clans like the Tactical Commando Force {TcF}, who were in charge of this big clan battle sort of thing called the Great Galactic Clan War (GGCW). Their leader, Penguin, invited SNP to join in the fun in the GGCW and we accepted! We’ve had no battles yet in the GGCW as we joined it shortly before the end of Generation 5.

<p style="text-align:center;"> In early December, a few days before Generation 5 ended, 2 more members left the clan. Bacon, our great Major who had just become a temporary diplomat, became upset with SNP and left the clan, also bringing Jet (who had joined during this generation) along with him. We tried our best to stop Bacon from leaving, especially after everything he had done for the clan, but when he said his decision was final, we didn’t argue with his decision. The 2 of them started their own clan, the Deadly Shadow Snipers {DSS}. After we had just lost Thodox, it was even harder to see 2 more great members go, and they will be greatly missed. We’ve kept good relations with {DSS} (except Hond who remains angry at their decisions to leave). We would later vote on making {DSS} allies in the next generation.

<p style="text-align:center;"> It also wasn’t long before we would be challenged to a real battle with WUSI. With this official challenge, it was decided that Generation 5 had come to an end. SNP would go on to fight battles with 1.2 clans in Generation 6 including this battle with WUSI, as well as battles with the 212 clan and Shs.

December 5th marked the end of Generation 5. Although this generation saw a fewer amount of members to join than in Generation 4, it was possibly one of the most fun and one of the most successful generations SNP had ever seen, with the amazing amount of work our site members put into the stories and other things on the site and successfully keeping active on BOTH 1.0 and 1.2, as well as just getting members over to 1.2 in general. Very much thanks to Anime for making all of this incredible success possible!

<p style="text-align:center;">

<p style="text-align:left;"> Generation 6 began on December 5 th 2011 with the declaration of a fun war with wusi. The battle contained 3 rounds, but only two were completed. Unfortunately snp lost both rounds. But to turn things around snp played and won a great battle against shs. Christmas passed and the trumpet of trouble sounded ahead. Hond joined an FC server on 1.2 and claimed that the ancient FC legend rage used cheats and mods to honds disadvantage. Meanwhile on FC’s website, they made claims that Hond was a liar and didn’t know what he was talking about. Many players of swbf 1.2 have trouble with FC, so it wasn’t surprising that in our stay on 1.2 we had trouble with them as well.

<p style="text-align:left;"> Meanwhile snps beloved bounce retired to go and play on the ps3. Fortunately he has since returned. This was perhaps one of snps most diplomatically active times. After playing a very close 2 round match with 212 snp came just slightly on the bottom. After a few more battles super decided to start the grandbattleroyale; a writing contest for all the story writers of generation 6; overall very successful but has declined in activity recently. As in generation 5 the snp website was bombarded by stories and periodicals written by many clan members, most of which have since subsided. Snp also joined the legendary ggcw, a fun war that has been going on ever since the game was released. Snp began by attacking alpha on kamino, but losing. Snp didn’t participate greatly in the ggcw due to the events to come.

<p style="text-align:left;"> In January 2012 long-time swbf player cj allegedly accidently booted FC member klaos from his server. Being easily offended in nature, klaos decided to force both Hond and cj to apologize for the terrible crime they committed. Anime agreed to see that happen, bending to klaos’s demand that any snp members that offended an FC member would be booted from snp. As in most conflicts klaos’s brother anyder joined in threatening to crash snp servers and banning snp members from all the servers he controlled. Cj apologized right away, but Hond refused, truthfully saying he did nothing wrong. No one really knows why klaos wanted an apology from Hond in the first place, seeing as he wasn’t even in the server. After a period of fighting with anime, Hond eventually agreed to apologize to klaos. This whole disagreement caused a decline in activity in the snp clan. Many members left, and many more complained of how the clan had lost its fun qualities. In effort to stop negativity Hond decided to censor out negative post, and keep only those calling for reform. This was taken very negatively and caused even more members to leave. Eventually it got so bad that timo and scaled the clans two diplomats formally resigned. Neither anime super nor Hond were seen for nearly a month. Being away for other reasons super returned and soon got the clan back on its feet. Due to the decline in activity and the retirement of members, ideas were put forth to reform our government and perhaps write a constitution (due to the disagreements about censoring exc.) this proved much to complicated and the idea was soon dropped. Thankfully by the good work of many loyal snp members everyone was soon put back in line and many members returned shortly. Thankfully scaled returned at the rank of private (which he comically still holds) we only lost one amazing member in this hard time. We all remember timo and wish he will one day return. Snp decided to leave 1.2 due to its negative influence and unfriendly members and clans. This was one of the best decisions ever made. Thanks to honds return and spring cleaning program the clan once again began to rule swbf 1.0! After stories and fun events had returned, we learned of the good news that both klaos and anyder had been booted from pro clan. (Whence they had joined on 1.0)

<p style="text-align:left;"> Snp was now just as active as we had been prior, and we were doing all kinds of fun events, including a 2n2 tourney. In may super posted part 42 of his long story about snp members. Generation 6 saw the return of much loved waffle master com! Phantom who had been a member of snp until recently, made a deal with led, a leader of pla on 1.2, to host multiple 24/7 dedicated servers on 1.0. Though some opposed this change, it has given swbf 1.0 an eternal stable playing environment.

<p style="text-align:left;"> At the beginning of generation 7 efforts were made to clean up the snp website. Over the years it had really accumulated some junk. Many users that haven’t been seen in years were removed and pages were combined and deleted. in the midst of snps 6th generation, one of our oldest members, tucker, tragically died in an automobile accident. tucker joined all the way back in generation 1 and was a great friend to many players in swbf. when i see his comments on old post, i am reminded how precious life really is. i especially will miss tucker.

<p style="text-align:left;"> At the beginning of summer 2012 many members returned, including anime, com, saw and beast; all long-time snp members. With a fresh summer of activity snp will grow a new generation of members to one day hold in their hands the greatest clan of swbf 1.0. As clans come and go only some leave their mark on the game. When you look through the internet of all the clans, wars, and players that have left their mark on swbf, some come up over and over again; and you can beautifully put together a rickety picture of how it must have been to live in the golden age of battlefront, you hope that one day in the future, snp will be but a memory, and a future players keeps seeing the same name over and over on every clan website they find; snp. And they will wonder; who were these people?

Generation 7 began with the encouraging comeback of many members, ~}pro{~ clan making a comeback, and Hond and Anime discovering many new technical advantages. Generation 7 would prove to be one of the longest, and slowest of snps ages. Generation 7 would witness the most radical change in battlefront ever to take place. Regardless of the problems snp survived and took advantage of the things that disabled others.

At the beginning of generation 7 many parties and activities were planned, members told stories of their vacation adventures, anime introduced a new page, members celebrated birthdays and posted hilarious videos. For the first 2 months of the summer of 2012 it was very easygoing. Having left 1.2 previously, virtually no conflicts took place. That is until honds old computer crashed while he was downloading one of phantoms mods. There was worry that all he could get was an apple, and he might have to retire for good. Regardless, he would not be back until Christmas. This would mean nearly 6 months without our founder. With super also gone, that left all reasonability on anime and the higher ups. In the fallowing days after hond took leave many members were forced to leave for various reasons, spelling all the worse for snp.

In the waning days of summer members prepared for school, and played battlefront less and less frequently. September started out with activity barley crawling for snp. Meanwhile the pro clan reached its peak activity level in its entire history, and ruled 1.0. interestingly a.t clan also began recruiting, though usually a small clan, a.t now became a reputable force on the game. Snp were few and far between, and site activity reached an all time low(except the first month of its existence).

Though virtually all leadership was gone during September, longtime member faye, and her sister ann kept the site fresh and interesting. At the end of September a few members returned, but snp was not what it had once been. By October even more members were returning, and a fun war was planned with pro, the fun war eventually took place, but snp unfortunately lost. No one seamed to care, because it was the most fun anyone had for a long time.

By the end of October activity was back up, and snp was preparing to celebrate our 2nd anniversary. Many events were planned and things began to look like the beginning of generation 7. And while small bans of gamers like us made plans, larger powers made deals that would affect everyone. At the end of October Disney bought lucasarts, and star wars 7,8 and 9 were planned. At the beginning of November anime returned after a long period of inactivity. And snp looked like it would live to see another new year. Then on November 7th all servers mysteriously disappeared. For a couple days everyone waited to see if they would reappear. Soon many people in the swbf community began calling lucasarts and gamespy. At first gamespy responded saying that they were working on the server problems, and the game would be up soon. Then suddenly they switched positions claiming they would no longer support the game. Immediately the swbf community began downloading tunngel  and gameranger clients that allow lan servers to be transmitted over the internet. Efforts were made to buy the network rights from gamespy, but $30,000 was their lowest offer. We will probably never know if diseny buying lucasarts had anything to do with the server shutdown.

Surprisingly after the server shutdown, activity in snp increased dramatically, and 1.0 became as active as 1.2. members returned and plans were made for the future. At first plans were made to move to 1.2, but soon it was realized that 1.0 was very close to as active, and we wanted to play on our native ground until the end.

Generation 7 ended November 29th 2012. Many questions faced the leaders and members of the snp clan. Many feared generation 8 would be the last that snp would witness. But we realized that we can’t die until we stop playing, and keeping the game alive. We made a decision to keep playing until the very bitter end, when that end will come is an open question, but you can bet snp will be there to see it.
