## Past Clan Experiences

DocHoliday has many past experiences starting with Arma 2 back in 2012. The first clan he ever played in was Creative Creeps Life (CCL) where he got his first taste for "life servers." It would still be some time before he would join a full clan.

During these formative Arma experiences he joined T.N.T. a military focused community in Arma 2 Free where he would eventually become a combat medic. It was at this time that he got the callsign "DocHoliday" after the same callsign of a medic in Battlefield 3's campaign. This name was then permanently adopted as his username.

#### Arma 2 Life Servers

The first life server that Holiday ever joined was Excyted Gaming based on the Chernarus map. He was in this community for several months and became a Moderator. He remained in this community until several members left and joined with members of CCL to form a new clan called Evolution Gaming. Which was also a Chernarus Life server.

Holiday joined Evolution Gaming (-=EVO=-) and remained in it from the early summer of 2013 until January of 2014 when he left the clan with several others to form a new clan due to grievances in EVO due to negligence from the ownership. Holiday was the co-owner alongside another former EVO member and together along with most of the staff from EVO they reformed Excyted Gaming (=EG=). This clan wouldn't last long though as the co-owner proceeded to unilaterally ban all of the former EVO staff a few months later, in response to not getting their way in a staff dispute.

Holiday would attempt to start or join several more life servers following the collapse of EG but didn't meet much success. He had a brief stint as a Moderator Level 1 in Island Life Gaming (ILG) which was a modded life server for Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead based on Emita before leaving due to personality conflicts with senior staff.

#### Inter-clan period

During the inter-clan period Holiday reformed an old Battlefield 3 clan known as Cemetery Wind (=CW66=). This would become the primary hangout for much of the former EVO-EG members as well as a launch point for various roleplays, random games and other things between 2015 and 2017. This includes Holiday's Mount and Blade Warband regiment, the 102nd Royal Grenadiers. This regiment would go on and up and down trajectory three times over the years often ending due to no longer having the time to commit.

This also included a server hosting venture that hosted several teamspeak servers and M&B servers for various clans and communities.

#### Arma 3 MilSim Communities

After a break from Arma Holiday finally returned in mid-2017 to begin leading and joining military simulation communities. His first taste had been in Arma 2 with T.N.T. and the 10th Mountain Division. However, in Arma 3 he got much more in-depth and dedicated.

Holiday served across multiple units including Task Force North, 10th Mountain Division (3rd Platoon), 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit, 17th Marine Expeditionary Unit and the 1st Regiment Coldstream Guards. His primary roles were as a combat medic or as a squad leader. He also led multiple semi-realism units in public servers with some of the remaining people from EVO stylized as Seal Team Six (ST6) in Wasteland servers and as Task Force 11 (TF11) in more warfare focused servers.

In 2018 Holiday began leading his own units starting with the Royal Horse Guards. They would rise and fall over the years as communities do with additional units being Task Force 11 (TF-11B), Carrier Strike Group 6, 2nd Royal Canadian Regiment, 12th Mountain Recon Battalion and the 2nd Special Service Force.

#### Roleplay Communities

Holiday has always been a dedicated roleplayer and has created many different types of roleplay over the years starting in Arma 2. Other activities include Arma 3, Minecraft and simple spreadsheet and discord based roleplays where people would RP as governments both real and fictional and attempt to navigate serious of events.

The first FiveM community Holiday was a part of was YesPixel which was inspired by NoPixel. He became an Inspector in the BCSO after being in the community for two months. After a series of incident he would end up leaving the server to pursue other avenues.

He joined Vice City Roleplay in May 2020 after being invited by then owner WastingFall who had met Holiday through previous roleplays in Arma and Discord. Holiday was offered staff several times but turned it down. In June 2020 he was once again offered the role of Community Manager and turned it down. Three days later, after seeing the direction the community was heading he asked for the position but was told that he had to wait to see if someone else wanted it first. After Woods turned it down it was given to Holiday and he has held it ever since and was the person that pushed for the vote to change the name of the city from Vice City Roleplay to Diamond City Roleplay.
