      IRC Nickname: His Lordship Group: Founder Posts: 6029 Member No.: 1 Joined: December 26, 2007 Total Events Attended: 129    | Help me brainstorm my opening speech. I'll be using the bluescreen technique again. Here's a rough draft. I'm going to go with what it says on the pen __________________ Hi, I'm His Lordship, Leader of the Wilderness Guardians. Thanks for watching this short video. I'm here with one goal. Somehow I need to convince you that my clan is your ultimate destination. With so many excellent clans available to you, that's no easy task, but here goes nothing. Think of any clan you know. Perhaps one that has recently invited you to join them. My clan is everything they are, and much more. Founded in 2003, we are one of the oldest clans in the game, and I am the longest serving clan leader in all clans. This gives us more experience - we know what works and what doesn't. You are guaranteed stability and maturity of leadership. Speaking of our history, it's quite easy to see from the hundreds of battles we have fought, why we are called "the great warring clan". We've been part of the biggest fights in the game's history, the biggest death march, we were the first clan to use ice spells in a war, and we have fought every major clan in Runescape. We've served several thousand members, and at our peak, we were 300 strong, but when Jagex took the Wilderness out of Wilderness Guardians, we weren't quite the same. That's why I'm particularly excited about the re-release of the wilderness. This is our element, for which all the leaders have extensive experience and expertise. We are in perfect position to recapture our place as one of the dominant forces of the clan world. These days, we frequent the wilderness several times a week across every timezone. Our tradition of innovation continues: in recent months we have been responsible for reviving interest in old-school wars, using rules and equipment from the old wilderness era. Our fights are more often won than lost, and our leaders have accumulated a wealth of experience, and not just from within WG. You couldn't ask for a better track record or activity. And why not ask Jagex what they have to say about us? We've featured on their main page five times, named as one of the greatest clans ever to exist. These glowing testimonials, along with our mass media, including this movie, have ensured that we are undoubtedly Runescape's most famous clan. More importantly, a great PVP clan is more than JUST a PVP clan. We offer the most types of events in the clan world. our events catalogue shows over a hundred types of events, and that number continues to grow. Non-PVP events are optional to attend, so you get to choose your level of involvement. We understand that you don't want to be attached to your clan 24/7. And I've saved the best for last. Wildguard's community is legendary. When you join, you will be assigned a mentor from your timezone, who will help you find your feet in the clan. You will be supported, you will be respected, you will be spoilt for choice with the possibilities that only a clan like ours can open up. When it comes to PVP clans, there is so much variety. There are so many excellent clans out there, and if you've done the research, it's hard to go wrong. I stand by the bold claim that The Wilderness Guardians is the best, and I will defend that statement for as long as it remains true. Of course, I have to say that... I'm the clan leader. Why don't you decide for yourself? Put this clan to the test. Visit our website, which has been voted best clan website every year since 2006 by RSC. Join my CC [His Lordship name appears on screen], which is attended 24/7, and see if we live up to high standards that have set us apart from every other clan. Please, consider us as your strongest choice for a new clan. All the best, and happy hunting. --------------------  | ||

We understand that you don't want to be attached to your clan 24/7. Try to involve that all wars and raids are mandatory.. Some people would take those sentences too literally. --------------------  | ||

| IRC Nickname: [Randy] Group: Raid Leader Posts: 5065 Member No.: 16 Joined: December 29, 2007 Total Events Attended: 499 | I know we have a great history but to a lot of outsiders that means nothing. Don't talk about our peak or who we have fought in the past. Tell them what we have now, what we can honestly offer them. --------------------   | ||

| IRC Nickname: His Lordship Group: Founder Posts: 6029 Member No.: 1 Joined: December 26, 2007 Total Events Attended: 129 | I can see your point Randy, but it's relevant because we can draw on that experience to give us an advantage upon the return of the wilderness. The past is part of the now, wouldn't you agree? Also, I think it's good to build the vision of what I want us to work toward. Who else agrees with me? -------------------- | ||

 IRC Nickname: Armybuilder Group: Raid Leader Posts: 1468 Member No.: 2173 Joined: December 6, 2009 Total Events Attended: 227 | Maybe write about the fact thats we've had members from all over the place. But then on the other hand it may give the impression we're too spread out. But then showing what we are offering in teh community with members being online 24/7 could be a good idea. I think we need to include some more recent things on there. Maybe talk about the semi-recent old school fights? --------------------     | ||

| IRC Nickname: His Lordship Group: Founder Posts: 6029 Member No.: 1 Joined: December 26, 2007 Total Events Attended: 129 | Ok Randy, Tom, I've put in a new paragraph that should satisfy both of you. -------------------- | ||

| IRC Nickname: [Randy] Group: Raid Leader Posts: 5065 Member No.: 16 Joined: December 29, 2007 Total Events Attended: 499 | I don't like naming other clans. I'm pretty sure AF shat on us in 10 seconds and ZT isn't known to anyone. Other than that, looks good. -------------------- | ||

 IRC Nickname: Group: Raid Leader Posts: 1110 Member No.: 2430 Joined: October 14, 2010 Total Events Attended: 77 | What happened to the other one, i remember seeing that, well the green screen was a bit blurred through your figure outline. It would be nice to put the wars and major events in the background like last time, that was cool. Maybe talk about the irl meetings, talking how we are more than just a clan in game. But some kids may find that slightly weird, so idk. -------------------- | ||

Why not just swap out the clan's name part completely? -------------------- Our greatest glory consists of not in never falling, but rising everytime we fall.

| IRC Nickname: His Lordship Group: Founder Posts: 6029 Member No.: 1 Joined: December 26, 2007 Total Events Attended: 129 | Since I am talking through all of it, I don't want the viewer to divide their attention between my words and on-screen text. That's a big mistake many people make. I'll be using pictures mostly. -------------------- | ||
