The Start
At August 18th 2014, Seba makes a post, asking people to join her new team, Đ©. In order to join, players should have been Lv.20+ with 5+ WS. Leo, Pilot and Joris were the first 3 members and Seba promoted all 3 to Co-Leaders. 2 months later, she started the first CLOTW contest.
The Official Đ© Sub Pattern
On December 29th, 2014, Đ©¹Seba_Ω posted the clan's Official Sub Pattern.
The side colours should be Black and in the middle a colour any member prefers.
No Restrictions
On December 26th 2014, Đ©¹Seba_Ω cancels both restrictions of recruitment, making it easier for people to join Đ©.
A member should have reached Lv.20 and a 5+ Winstreak until then.
The NAA-EU Agreement
In January 2015, an alliance of American clans (NAA) invaded the European SDSW Community in Miiverse. About 10 days after the invasion, F1Ray asked from European clans and its members to come to an agreement. (Co-)Leader Mario and FS¹Flame agreed to F1Ray's rules.
The Official Đ© Flag
On March 4th, 2015, Đ©¹Seba_Ω made a drawing of a flag. This flag became the Official Flag of the clan. Basically the flag has 4 "DC" logos, with a "+" in the middle.
Up to this date, the Flag has been redrawn twice since Seba's drawing:
-
Matisse drew the Flag in February 2016
-
Mario recreated the Flag for the clan's 7th Anniversary
DCFE & Close to Shut Down
On April 22nd, 2015, Đ©¹Seba_Ω asked from all Đ© members to comment on her post "DCFE" (= Dark Captains For Ever), to see how many members are still active. Only 3 members (Matisse, Brand, Melody) commented her.
3 days later, Đ©¹Seba_Ω made a mysterious post, mentioning the clan had 0 members (probably because many members were inactive and she wanted a restart). Brand, Matisse and 12 more people told her they weren't inactive.
The next day, Seba in a new post described Đ© as "Small Clan", meaning she wasn't taking in consideration anymore all the rest old Đ© members who were inactive.
1st Anniversary
On August 18th 2015, Đ© clan celebrated its first Anniversary. Seba made a big "Thank You" post on Miiverse, promoting at the same time Mario from member to ½ Co-Leader.
The Official Đ© Rules
On June 3rd, 2016, Đ©¹Seba made a post with 3 rules that all members should follow. The rules were the following:
-
Don't Cuss In The Clan.
-
Say If You Want To Join/Leave.
-
Co's Shouldn't Be In Other Clans. (for Co-Leaders)
Leviathan's Invasion in the EU SDSW Community
On June 2016, the American clan Leviathan invaded the European SDSW Community, with the goal to recruit more members for their clan, despite the fact American clans couldn't recruit Europeans (and via versa). Mario -after talking with FS¹ Flame about it- created a Voting Poll, asking all European clan leaders if Leviathan would be allowed to stay.
Even though Leviathan and Fluffy shortly after invaded Mario's Poll, the overall desicion of European leaders were negative towards Leviathan.
Leviathan accepted defeat and returned back to the American community.
2nd Anniversary
On August 18th, 2016, Đ© clan celebrated its second Anniversary. Đ©½Mario wanted to honour the Anniversary and created the Đ© Special Tournament #3, for all SDSW players and lasted more than 4 hours, with 9+ players taking part and sending their Combat Records.
During the Tournament, Seba once again made a Anniversary post about the clan and decided to stop being the Leader and gave the Leadership to Mario.
Halfway to 3 years
On February 18th, 2017, Đ©¹Mario created the Đ© Special Tournament #4, to celebrate the 2½ years of Đ©.
3rd Anniversary
On August 18th, 2017, Đ© clan celebrated its third Anniversary. Đ©¹Mario, knowing that Miiverse was going to shut down later that year, decided to create a European Tournament, with RG and BF clans as special guests.
Miiverse's ShutDown
On August of 2017, Nintendo announced from Nintendo User Erika that Miiverse would shut down on November 7th of the same year.
Knowing that, Mario and Matisse made an effort to gather as many members as possible to join the FaceBook group chat. On the other hand, Co-Leader Ozee asked from members to join the Amino he had created.
4th Anniversary
It wasn't celebrated.
5th Anniversary
On August 18th, 2018, Đ© celebrated its fourth Anniversary. For the first time, Đ©'s Anniversary was celebrated outside Miiverse.
A Tournament (named "Đ© Special Tournament #5") was created by Mario to celebrate the Anniversary, but only FS Romeo and Mario himself played.
Inside 2021, Mario decided to delete this Tournament, because "it was a failed Tournament".
Creation of the Youtube channel
Within 2020, new-comer member Matt decided to create a Youtube channel for the clan. He named it DC CLAN and gave Đ©¹Mario access to it.
6th Anniversary
On August 18th, 2020, Đ© clan celebrated its sixth Anniversary. That year didn't include a Tournament as celebration, just a badge to all members in FaceBook who were active that day and wished "Happy B-day" to the clan.
7th Anniversary
On August 18th, 2021, Đ© clan celebrated its seventh Anniversary. Continuing the custom with the "Takeover Events", Đ©¹Mario created the Đ© Takeover.
That Event included drawings Mario created, the 18th CLOTW contest of 2021 and of course the "★Đ©'s 7th Anniversary Tournament★".
This Tournament is currently the most successful Tournament ever, with 6 competitors (players who sent their stats) and at least 5 participants (players who didn't send stats).
8th Anniversary
It wasn't celebrated.
Halfway to 9 years
A Tournament is planned for February 18th, 2023.
