The clan Order Thru Chaos

was initiated in the game Opposing Force (a spin-off

of Half Life) back in 1999. It all started back in a little server where

2 cyber-warriors named The Trooper (now known as Conan the Librarian) and

Cobra (now King~Kobra/ K2) met a veteran from HL that went by the name Shadow.

After a full night of fraggin, they parted ways, vowing to return on the

morrow to continue their battle. The next day they returned as promised

and brought with them a new player named Kaiser. The four fighters battled

late into the nights for the next few days, learning from one another's

skill and forming a friendship that would become the foundation of something

greater than any could have imagined.

One night, when discussing why none of them were in a clan, they all arrived

at the same conclusion - that they had been asked to join other clans, but

none of these groups really had anything to offer them other than a tag.

At this time, a seed began to grow in the mind of Conan - the idea that

they should form a clan of their own; a clan based on honor, both in and

out of game, and an idea of a group of people brought together not only

by skill, but by personalities and character. Any human can be taught the

art of war - for it is inborn in our very species to fight. But truth, honor,

and loyalty - these traits define one's true moral and spiritual character,

whether in battle or at peace. What this newborn clan needed was a name

that reflected the possibilities of such tenets - a name that conveyed the

values and the honor they all felt and believed in.

A few names were tossed around until Shadow spoke the words "Order

Thru Chaos". It was perfect. The Ancient Greeks believed that the universe

was born of chaos - chaos that was given order by the greatest powers of

virtue, strength, and will. For all great things begin as chaos, and order

is fertile even amidst the most frenzied states of being. To understand,

you must embrace chaos - not run from it. Then, and only then, can true

order be achieved. With those beginnings from true chaos, the order of our clan began. For

it was a notion and a concept greater than any one person or player. Individuals

were destined to become a clan; the clan was destined to become friends;

the friends were destined to become family. Holding the simplest of principles

high - truth, honor, and loyalty, the foundation of OTC was created. It

is these principles that have kept OTC alive through the years, and these

principles that will ensure that order thru chaos will continue long

after we have gone. For its members are what makes the clan so great, all

equal in voice and vote.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS: OTC is still a gaming clan not only a one game group.
