“Out of every one hundred men, ten shouldn't even be there. Eighty are just targets. Nine are real fighters and we are lucky to have them - for they make the battle. Ah, but the one. One is a warrior, and he will bring the others back.” - Heraclitus

An ancient Greek philosopher, named Heraclitus, around 500 B.C. is attributed to saying:

“Out of every one hundred men, ten shouldn't even be there. Eighty are just targets. Nine are real fighters and we are lucky to have them for they make the battle. Ah, but the one. One is a warrior, and he will bring the others back.”

Even in today’s modern conflicts, he was right.

In terms of the Organization, this means for every one hundred people joining the fray, there are roughly ten people who are not fit to fight with anyone. This can be due to their trollish attitude or simply the lack of moral decorum; these people are generally swiftly removed, lest they commit any more ruin to the situation.

After that you have roughly eighty people, who, while making for the bulk of the allied forces, have little to no common sense - the greatest power a man can possess. While this does not make them useless, they are often used best by pointing them into the direction of the conflict, and letting the herd simply trample into the fray.

Then you have nine people, the real fighters. They possess the mighty power of common sense and as such are able to think for themselves. While they might not be the most strategically sound, they understand tactics and force of action. As has been said, we are lucky to have them, as they are able to quickly adapt to the ever changing situation, and overcome obstacles that would otherwise stagger the lesser man. These people often make up team leads, fill critical support roles, and can take the initiative when they have to improvise at a moment's notice. They keep the battle going.

Last, one remaining is a true leader, a warrior. They are able to see the battlefield as a whole. To see the big picture, as well as the small details, without getting lost in them. They are able to forecast tactics that the enemy will use and create counters on the fly. They are able to form complex strategies, while also consolidating them to their most basic form, disseminating them to squad leads and allied troops, all while in the throngs of battle. A warrior will lead by example, project the Warrior Ethos, and cultivate esprit de corps that wins the day.

We hold these ideals at our core. Whether you are seeking your first organization, or may already be part of another group but seek more of a challenge - we sift through the sands of common people to find those who are fit to wear our title.

One thing is true; by taking this first step you have already moved away from the eighty and joined the nine. Now we’ll take care of the rest.
