The White Shadows Clan is a long-running multigaming clan. Even though our recruitment is primairly and mainly focused on the SA:MP RPG server of the Argonath RPG community, representing the clan is a transcendental factor - our gaming lobbies expand to other games and platforms, as in general, the clan holds this polyvalent multifaceted characteristic. Joining us is a certain way that you'll have a great stay, supportive colleagues and a brotherhood.
The White Shadows clan is a diverse community built up of people from across the globe. It supports the gaming art and advocates virtuosity in the form of mixed media. The clan hosts videos, photography, music and is a platform for computing hobbies. It's members have full access to the clan's exclusivities, including gaming lobbies, competitions, events, communication channels, clan vehicles and more.
As representatives of the clan's image, the members are expected to have exemplary behaviour and act accordingly to the rules of the server. Role models of our doctrine, our members are people who matched the requirements in order to acquire a membership in the clan, and are people who have been entrusted with the mission represent to our clan to the best in all spheres of gaming, including roleplaying (as in for Argonath RPG), or whichever may be the objective of the game plan in question.

The Foundation
10 August 2007 - It was about a year ago Hypercube started playing on the Argonath RPG servers on SA:MP and MTA:VC. It all went as planned, he was an ambiguous 15 year old Argonath regular, who had a good amount of friends and even made it to administrator on the SA:MP server. It was time for change, for something new. He had seen several groups, families, and clans being created and he decided that this was what his next objective would be.
14 August 2007 - It took a couple of days to come with a proper name for the clan. The criteria were that it had to be an unique, strong, and definitely mysterious name. Black Rocks, Red Grass, Mighty River, Freedom Fighters.. they all didn't feel right. After four days of brainstorming, a name was finally created - White Shadows. And this same day Hyper set up the clan page on the Argonath RPG forum and began on his journey..
Starting up
Founding a clan is something anyone can do, you don't need any skill for that. However, when it comes to recruiting the first members, maintaining the quality of the clan, and creating the desired clan culture, you need concentration and passion, but perseverance is probably the most crucial part to actually take off. Hyper became Founder of the White Shadows, and Leader of its first division on SA:MP. The role of a Leader is, in contrary with Founder, the hardest position someone can have inside a clan. You cannot afford making mistakes.
The first steps
After observing the first potential members, the first interactions come to the comments, and eventually a selection is held to invite the chosen players. Part of them refuse the invitation because of the fact the clan is too new and thus too unstable, which is reasonable. The other part either takes his chances or really sees future in the clan, which results in them making an application. This is how the White Shadows clan slowly obtained its first members.
And on it goes...
After some years of Leading, new Leaders took over and the clan structure was changed. A Clan Leader was introduced (control over the clan as a whole), taking over Hyper's leading role. Brokman, WS' most dedicated member filled in this role and managed to improve the clan even more. He is still leading the clan, along with Caltson and SeanC.
Throughout the years
The clan grew and new divisions for other games and platforms were opened. To create a close community with a good atmosphere, a place for the members to come together is necessary. To achieve this, we created a website along with a forum for the members to discuss clan-related issues or to just have a good chat. In the SA:MP and PS3 divisions we bought a Headquarters, with the intention to use it for meetings, but it turned out to be more of a symbol.. Either way, our clan became more and more popular among the Argonath RPG players and grew out to (one of the) biggest clans on Argonath RPG.
The last years
After some struggle with the activity of the clan in 2014, the clan was completely reformed in March 2015. Due to the many divisions that were created since the very beginning, the clan needed a new structure that would also fill the needs that a modern clan would need. The division structure was removed as were the boundaries for our members to interact freely throughout all the games we play.
The future
We are constantly trying to expand into new games, new consoles, with some success and some failures, but we will keep on going for years, until we become internationally known as professional multi-gaming clan!
