The 57th Squadron is a gaming family dedicated to having fun with friends online while maintaining the highest standards of skill and sportsmanship. Not tied to any particular game or genre, 57th is open to all who enjoy gaming with friends. We welcome all challenges, be they in game or in life, and we face each with the same vigor and together.
57th Squadron Core Values
All members of the 57th willingly, volunteer to carry the banner of loyalty, honor and camaraderie and bear it as a family fueled by purpose, unified in respect, and persevering through dedication to a single-minded group-effort, greater than our individual selves.
Honor
We maintain a keen sense of right and wrong and adhere to the principles of good behavior.
Purity of Heart. Treating people with respect. Doing unto others, as you would have others do unto you.
Loyalty
Faithfulness to our ideals, motives, beliefs and to each other is an essential part of our team. 57th Squadron is not just another group. We are Friends and Family.
We are a shoulder to lean on, a friend to talk to, somebody to have fun with.
Respect
You cannot have an organized and mature organization without a great deal of personal respect for other members.
We go on vacations together, visit each other, and some of us have become roommates.
This organization is not just a clan, it is a community of like minded and mature gamers who are as at home with each other online as they are in the real world. We are not an eliteist organisation, and do not descriminate except upon a member's attitude.
Maturity
57th Squadron has a low tolerance for juvenile behavior. We frown upon people who think they are better then another person, We will not tolerate prejudice or eliteism in any form.
We do not respond to flames, insults, and attempts at starting an arguement, be it from another clan or individual, or from within our organization.
We believe in the old school internet system of mutual respect. One of the fastest ways out the door here is being disrespectful of other members of the clan and gaming community.
Having Fun
Because that's why we're here in the first place; to have fun.
There is some work in 57th Squadron, but it must not go to the extent that it infringes on our purpose of having fun.
We're here to relax, have a good time, make some friends and memories that will last us a lifetime. There is no place for ego here.
If these concepts appeal to you and you are looking for a place to compete and have fun the 57th may be the home you have been looking for.
