Are ASOG and MVP in any way protest teams?

Really funny thing I noticed and thought about and now am making a topic on is the fact that there's Polar98 (a highly respectable and complex organization) and among its members there are organizations connected such as ASOG (run by SSD and Karma is a member of them too) and MVP (run by Penguin). Seeing this I wondered if it was moderate dis-satisfaction with Nova's work that has led members to pursue other organizations and participate elsewhere.

This is not a bad topic to start. It asks a very important question and my response is not intended to degrade the purpose of this topic. From an outsiders view, your observations are reasonable, but I'm going to help explain what you have observed.

We need to examine the reasons for our fellow organizations to have started. ASOG effectively replaced MGT. SSD and Karma had dual membership with MGT prior to forming ASOG. Following their resignation, ASOG was started. I was given information on this to ensure transparency. MVP on the other hand was started to provide an outlet for players under the Polar98 age requirement or lacking of the readiness to attend a Polar98 op to be able to attend ops. MVP turned into a team of players (which I technically am a member). This was not expected under my plan, but Polar98 staff is usually present at any event done. This allows us to oversee the progress made and help aid in making improvements. As you can see we are working together. All of our members who hold dual membership on other organizations have a 100% voting record when compared to my votes. There is certainly no dissatisfaction with my work or else I would be notified of it. I am actively working to include the rest of the team on decisions to be made as to what activities Polar98 should engage in. The team all has a say in what direction we shall go, therefore there is no need to protest.

@Surfer and Anyone else concerned about ASOG: Not at all. ASOG is was formed for participation in National Events such as Lion Claws and others. Anyone my inquire to join ASOG if they want to participate at that level. In addition multiple members and possible members hold dual memberships with many teams in the area.

We hold the Team to a higher standard then most teams. We hold monthly training sessions and conduct drills I was taught in the Corps. ASOG stands for Airsoft Special Operations Group, we use Spec Ops tactics and conduct ourselves as such. The Team must maintain a high level of professionalism both on and off the field. The Team does not stand for Integrity Violators and they are automatically removed from the Team if one is found. Furthermore, the team has a gear requirement since we do play at such large events.

If all these requirements are met then the Members of the team vote to add "Eligible Members or ME" to the team. If the Members do not like the conduct of a ME then they must vote to remove that person from the ME Status. ASOG is not a dictatorship in any way every member has a vote and the majority wins. We do not discriminate against anyone who is interested in joining.

ASOG has bi-laws and other items in place to make sure no one is treated unfair. We like to joke around with each other but when it comes down to working we get it done as many people have seen on the field. ASOG also has fun doing it, and this has gotten the Team invited to many other events.

In a years time frame the Team will be attending 3 if not 4 Lion Claws events our first starting last October which was Irene. The next one coming up is Red Storm East in April followed by an event called Snake Pit in June. By the end of April ASOG will have 6 Lion Claws Alumni who can vouch for other people who may be to young to get into a Lion Claws event otherwise.

We have Members, Honorary Members and Eligible Members all over Pennsylvania and the surrounding States.

Furthermore, ASOG did made contact with Nova before we formed the Team to give him an update on what was happening. This was out of respect since both Karma and myself are Polar98 members. ASOG as a Team supports Polar98 and we will remain a stable ally to Polar98. We have pushed for safe game play and I will continue to help Nova any way that I can whether it be with Objectives, Field Rules or just moral support. I think Nova knows he can count on both ASOG and myself.

@Everyone: If there are any other questions people have about ASOG feel free to PM me anytime. I will be more then glad to help and/or point you in the right direction.
