Clan timeline

Currently I dont know much about our clan history, only the little I have heard and what smart typed up.

I was thinking we could start a clan timeline, with important clan events on it, so, cross your fingers, if its still around in say 4-5 years, the members then will know about there history.

The is not a lot of use being able to boost how old your clan is if you have no idea what happened before you.

I think it would be interesting to know when members joined and left the clan, when sabre team was 1st made, and then again when it was reformed. When important cahnges were made, such as the update of the website, the joining of a new game, change of command, etc, etc...

What do you guys think?

feb 12 : The apocolyse

Can I have a few thoughts on when we start the timeline. Should we say, Ok lets start it now and put stuff on it form now on.

Or say, lets trace back to all the information we know though different sources such as archives and previous members.

I am prepared to research the information if the 2nd is picked, but as for actually making it, I wouldnt know where to start.

Anyhow I am pretty busy for the next couple of weeks so cant do anything until then.

There is nothing as important for the future than the history behind it.

Very good idea, Relish. Every decent regiment have their own chronicles.

It will be of great interest for everyone -- inside or outside the clan.

Its made by Timeline Creator

Anyother suggestions for programs to do it with would be great.

I want to get this sorted be4 looking for all the data.

I think so, yes. But make sure the program is flexible enough to do what we want. I only had a quick go, but the creator tool seems a little awkward.

it's still kinda large ... I think I gonna compress it later ...
... color, font etc. are changeable ...

just as a note: your accountancy is a bit like a nightmare ...

... this gonna be a hard piece of work ...
