• Bluewolf resigns, Reaper is elected sakhan
• CDW joins the Mechwarrior 4 Vengeance League
• Firejack and Niles meet - Creating the TNGC was never intentional. Somehow it found a life of its own and developed over time. Hard to say exactly when the start was. Though one thing is for sure. The meeting between Firejack and Niels was influencial in forming the ideas and philosophy of the community. Firejack recalls....

The first memory I have of the community was with Niels in a Thor running around the Highlands(?) map. I was still new to the game so was probably found in whatever was the biggest Mech available, Daishi no doubt. Niels and I were on the same team on a random sever two versus two. We were holding our own (well Niels was keeping me alive anyhow) and we got chatting. He introduced himself as the Khan of Clan Diamond Wolf. An impressive title that I knew nothing of what it meant. He asked if I wanted to join his Clan and I accepted and the community started then I guess
