Comment from [SS]Shooter

I understand you don't typically allow individual clan entries (along with advertisements, PR, personal name entries, etc.) unless they are justified. I would like to put forth the idea the entry for the SEA SNIPERS is justified, as the Sea Snipers have actually changed the face of PS2 Socom and perhaps gaming clans as a whole.

The Sea Snipers were started in late 2002, working to promote mature, tactical gameplay. We are very close and work to maintain a stong sense of teamwork and brotherhood. Hence our motto: SEMPER FRATRES - Always Brothers.

We have also done some other very unique things:

- Our leader, [SS]Rator, along with the support of the clan created all of the tactical maps for Socom 1 and Socom 2, along with the tactical whiteboard (www.tacticalwhiteboard.com) where the maps can be used. The maps were FREE to any clan that wanted to use them or put them on their site. Tactical White Board was written up in EGM magazine.

- We were hired, officially, by Piggyback to write the multiplayer section of the Official Socom 3 Strategy Guide. This was great fun, but the time constraints were crazy. This is the first time any clan has actually been involved in the guide making process. The Sea Snipers wrote the entire multiplayer section and our leader, [SS]Rator, was contracted to make every map in the book.

- [SS]Rator, due to his great work on S1 and S2 maps, was hired by Piggyback/Zipper to do ALL of the maps in the Official Socom 3 Strategy Guide. They are awesome as well. The guide is available in virtually any gaming store or Best Buy or on Amazon.

The Sea Snipers continue to promote tactical gameplay, mature behavior, and the betterment of the Socom Community. We welcome anyone to visit our site: www.seasnipers.net or play with us in our seasnipers.net rooms. Our location is often posted in the bottom left corner of our home page.

The Sea Snipers are not 'not notable'. We are perhaps THE best known gaming clan in the world.

In short, I am hoping that the 'Sea Snipers' entry can stay at Wikipedia. I am happy to talk with you about this anytime. Try my AIM - SSShootr or via email [email protected].

Sincere Thanks,

[SS]Shooter Lieutenant, Sea Snipers XO of Recruit Instruction
