Time for a real discussion topic, and I'm sure this one has been made before. Since I'm never here to make topics anymore and considering the current circumstances of the game and how stupidly horrible every other topic is a dooms day (lol) or list, figured I'd make something the break the combo.
So tell me, I'm curious, how did you end up where you are today in this clan community? Who introduced you, or did you discover it yourself? How do you think you are portrayed or have been recognized as in your "clanning" community? What was your favorite moment, most proud of and what do you regret the most?
I'm not doing any pre-written copy/paste questions here, so feel free to write whatever you want pertaining to the topic. I need a good read.
I'll summarize mine. I've played this game forever and long before most of you. The original clan forums of runescape classic is what got me involved in this type of game play for this game. If it wasn't for that, then I wouldn't have had my interest in clanning and running clan-communities.
The deep part about it must be that I enjoyed the concept of controlling a certain "gang" or army, and working together as a family-in-a-way to win and work as a team. It was definitely a control-complex of mine at the time. This game was so basic but so difficult when turned into that "different" style of gameplay known as clanning which made it a whole new game and fun. Just going on hunting trips for little teams, and mains made it that much more intimate. I personally regret being here as long as I have, yes I've been retired for a long time (except for my AI project back in January), but I glad I had the chance to meet the hundreds to maybe thousands of players that I got to play the game with, talk to, and learn about. I'm proud to say i've made generations of friends on this game, from the early classic, to the first time 3d was introduced, to the yearly newbies that came along. I would write more but I have **** to do.
It's been a pleasure buds.
Edit: I'll never forget leading PC with Tori and Quad, (MM, Foe, Eop, Th, Cp, ect ect kids) on the trip before the wilderness was taken out, where it was 40ish of us vs over 200+ massers. It was just an awesome experience for the community as a whole.
I really regret not enforcing less defense on this site, since every clan here needs this site to live except for Mm (which is why I put the ban hammer down , so every clan here was secluded. oops. That and I had to take a stand for the site even though I believed in the same views as a real pure clan. Guess I can't be bias, and made a tough decision based on keeping my promise on a less corrupt site.)
I'll edit this crap when I get the time to write it better.
