Tiger Clan was formed in the Celestial Kingdom by TORig, Rhys, and Pandemonius. {As an aside, I am not entirely sure as to the date. The earliest mention I could find was in the first "Star" of Michael's second reign. We ran kingdom quest: the date was January 30th, 1994. - Rand} The Tigers have done an enormous amount of service for the CK, winning many flames and producing no small number of kingdom officers. That proud tradition was brought to the Iron Mountains when Michael Hammer of God moved there in 1998.

Charter

The Tiger Clan doesn't have a captain. Instead all members are equal and company business is decided at kingdom events by a majority vote. In those few circumstances where a captain is called for (such as a circle of steel meeting) the company sends its youngest member.


Recruitment

Probationary members are called cubs. It requires a 3/4 vote to make a cub and a unanimous vote to make a full Tiger.


Garb

Originally a simple headband, these days we wear a tiger print chevron on a black field. When Michael Hammer of God moved to the Iron Mountains a distinction was added to separate the two branches. CK Tigers wear the original orange and black, while IM Tigers wear black and white.

Battle Cry

The company as a whole favors, "We're Gr-r-reat!". While individuals tend to use "apex predator, bitch!" The first is an nod to Kellogg's Tony the Tiger. While the second is used in much the same manner as "I just killed your whole dojo".


Traditions

1) Tigers who become monarchs have historically quit the company for the duration of their office.

2) The official drink of Tiger Clan is Miller Genuine Draft though as Michael pointed out these days we can afford better.

3) Tigers are inordinately fond of Avalon Hill's version of "Civilization". Don't try to trade one of us a gold or ivory card though, we know what it really is - piracy.

4) As an historical note originally the thought was to have no more than 12 members. Obviously this particular tradition has fell by the way side as the CK and Amtgard as a whole continued to expand.


  • "Once a Tiger, Always a Tiger": As with any other company sometimes people for whatever reason decide to leave. That being said we obviously thought enough of them to make them a Tiger in the first place. Any former member who wants to rejoin is more than welcome to; they simply need to make their wishes known and attend the next company meeting.

The rule above, "Once a Tiger, Always a Tiger", has been changed to a vote in by current members.


As of current there are five active Tigers in the game.
