It is impossible for me to talk about cKc without first discussing the Best Friends Club. When I returned to the game and joined the Federalist Party nearly two years ago the forums and irc were rife with the fingerprints of the BFC. Comprised of some of the most well loved and respected Feds I was struck by a burning desire to join their ranks. Trouble was they weren’t really recruiting. I was unfazed by this and began a campaign to be considered for entry. It took some doing but eventually I was allowed entry.





The triumph was short lived. Soon after gaining entry Jakov left the game, and a short time later Derphoof departed the Feds as an ATO candidate never to return to us. Stubbornly I held on to the newly minted BFC sigil. Almost a year later (March 2014) while discussing Best Friends Club with Jefferson Locke, Apollo, and WookyJack it was decided that a new brotherhood would be forged. While we no longer feature Locke on our sigil (a mistake in my view) he was and is a founding member of the Cool Kids Club. We have since added Scott Coyle and Nick Bergman to our ranks. They have been more than solid since they climbed aboard.





Nearly a month ago Cool Kids Club has decided to open it’s ranks once more. While the members of our group have distinguished themselves within the Party and/or on the National stage. This is decidedly not a chicken/egg thing. We did not accept members because of their sparkling resume’s, nor were members given a free ride to advancement because of their membership. Instead it has been because of the activity, enthusiasm, and sterling quality of character the individual members hold within themselves. WookyJack, Nick Bergman, Apollo, and Scott Coyle are among the finest Feds we have within our ranks. It is a privilege and an honor to be linked with them.

As aforementioned Cool Kids Club has been considering candidates to expand our number. We asked for articles from those interested in doing so. We read several articles on this topic and have been impressed. After much deliberation we have a reached verdict. We seriously considered 4 applicants. Chandlerz12345, Dave Gulya, Jude Connors, and Kevin Sheridan. All four players are excellent in their own way, and it was not an easy task to settle on just one. Point of fact we settled on two just like the last time we opened up our ranks.





Dave Gulya and Kevin Sheridan will be joining the ranks of Cool Kids Club. It is an absolute pleasure to welcome them and thank them for their interest in joining us. I have had the privilege of working with both of them at the Party level and the National level. I think they have very bright futures ahead of them and very much look forward to seeing them grow and progress towards their potential. More importantly I look forward to continued shared camaraderie with our two new Cool Kids.

Thanks are also owed to Jude and ChandlerZ for their interest in joining the Cool Kids Club. I don’t doubt that we will again open up for new applicants in the future. For those are interested please do not give up. You too can be a Cool Kid down the road. The time has come to unveil the new logo for our expanded group. This was provided by Scott Coyle with the use of his most excellent skills.
