You probably are already well aware of what makes The Enclave effective in every game we decide to grace with our presence thanks to earlier posts, but what you might not know is what sets us apart from merely being an outfit which excels at what it does.

Your typical infantryman in The Enclave is an average player who aspires to be more. We have a selection of top tier talent, but we're no leetfit who bars lesser players like myself from contributing to our excellence.

In fact, what's truly amazing about The Enclave is that people like myself don't aspire to be more like "Amazing FPS player X." We only care about being the best cog in The Enclave warmachine that we can possibly be, all for the glory of the organization. Inevitably, that means trying to be as good a player as Buzz (Amazing FPS player X) is. Interestingly, outside of The Enclave, FPS skill is completely worthless to me. Playing with The Enclave, however, I find that desire for skill and usefulness builds into an all-consuming desire to elevate myself for the good of my comrades and the glory of our proud traditions.

I don't want to be a famous Planetside 2 player; I want to be the best infantryman in The Enclave that I can hope to be. I want to elevate everyone else in The Enclave, even when that means I neglect my personal in-game success. It's not group-think which makes me desire this; it stems purely from the fact that I like everyone I play with and I want to help deliver to them the best possible time they can have playing with all of us. The fact that this involves winning just means we tend to win a lot at everything we do together.

As you can probably guess, people in The Enclave are a cut above the rest, and that starts directly from the top with Buzz. While Buzz's charisma is probably evident from the moment you talk to him on Teamspeak, The Enclave is filled with standup guys you simply are not going to find anywhere else because, ultimately, they're all going to end up here anyway.

While I joined The Enclave relatively recently in early 2010, I share a fierce pride with the other members of our accomplishments in every game we've entered (and inevitably dominated). The reason for this is simple: The Enclave is more than just the premier Planetside 2 outfit, it is a culture of excellence that instills a unique loyalty in its membership not found anywhere else.

We're not just an outfit; The Enclave is a culture unto itself and I want as many of you as possible to try and be a part of something amazing.

i too, as a fellow enclave member share this mindset. when you join the enclave, you become a part of something larger and you yourself make it stronger.
