Opportunity arises

By WG_Keanu on 30/11/2010
After talking with Kyle, I decided to post our night out feat. Brut, HF, AF and FF on RSC. Results?

ROFL Brut #8 P2P now...


Troll or not, this is what the clan world is now saying about us. We didn't even claim a win. One topic on some run-ins from a weekly raid and we're breaking top 10? I'd even go as far as to say we got one or two intros from it.

Once again, we're presented with an opportunity to return to clan politics. We have the Megaraid and the Anniversary coming up, and a clear shot for 2011. If we do things right, we can use these and follow-ups to slingshot back into the top end of the clan world, but we know for a fact we're not ready. We still have to address our issues with F2P and individual skills.

I have a proposal to use RSC to our advantage. We present them with the upcoming Megaraid and the Anniversary to show diversity, follow that up with a Megawar with a choice opponent, and then start climbing the ranks. But it requires attention to detail, and a LOT of hard work and effort considering our current state. And I think if it's done right, it'll work, but we'll have to fight for it.

Or, we put that thought aside and stay on the sidelines - fighting the smaller clans, taking whatever comes our way, all the while continuing to try and improve our weaknesses. I have proposals for that as well, which I'll put forward if need be.

Question is, what do we want to do?

By Zooby69 on 30/11/2010
We have this conversation every two weeks.

By Mark on 30/11/2010
In my opinion, it all comes down to posting on RSC more and more.

It's a shame that you didn't show everyone all of the other nasty comments we also recieved.

By Danb1992 on 30/11/2010
I personally like the idea of the first choice you suggested, agreed we need improvements in some parts but I think we have the potential to slingshot back up and stay strong in the higher clan ranks. This is all dependant on what the rest of the clan wants to do though and we'd need the WHOLE clans support and effort to go through with this which would require LOTS of time and perseverance.

Agreed. However, much of that was my fault. I made it seem like we were claiming a win against Brut, which got them riled. I cleared things up with them, and they have nothing against us now.

@Zooby - But now we've got my full involvement. Let's see if I can't put forward something new wink.gif

By Lee on 30/11/2010
To be honest, if people returned like the should. They're is no reason why we CANNOT take on Brut and FF.

By Jayson on 30/11/2010
1. I personally saw those are more trolls on Brut than people praising us.

2. We don't have a strong enough core of pvp-ers to be a real big threat to other clans unless numbers are on our side.

3. it was a 2v1, wg+sabres vs brut and it was a close fight, without the sabres we would have been cleaned up.

sorry to burst everyones bubble but we have alot of work to do before becoming a top 10 clan again. (And in my opinion, if Justin is stepping down, a warlord would be a good start wink.gif )

Do you honestly think we could take Brut? Name a SINGLE advantage WG has over them. You think you could outreturn a clan filled with some of the most dedicated members? Even if you could, do you think your returning would even phase a clan whose members are among the most experienced veterans of Wildy P2P, when WG barely has experience returning in a PKRI? Do you think you think WG's banks even compares to Bruts when it comes to returning? Do you think our organization and leadership could match a clan who, although has fallen from grace, has fought and matched some of the toughest and most organized clans of the game?

You guys still have a long way to go.

By Armybuilder1 on 30/11/2010
He said take on not beat.
Tbh.
but ye BTO is right. We're not in any position to Beat Brut or FF. We need to practise getting our arses back up to GDZ to return.

Perhaps we should get member to film themselves returning to a fight? Trying to get better and better??
and one of us doing it showing hwo to get up there. Pictures are good but video's are even better.


By WizardOfGod on 30/11/2010
its a game i stopped caring bout ranks on some site years back, just pk for fun and get wars for fun its a game now.

By Vulcan Sin on 30/11/2010
maybe have a competition
we all get to gdz...not pvp world and with no items on us
we all then tele to edge, apart from the main event leader, who will wait there
then we have to re gear and get back
the quickest to re gear with all war inv ect (will be checked) to tele direct will win a trick or something
then the quickest indirect person will win a prize like a trick for example
we could have this occqisionally like before a certain events since its quite a short event itself idk

For the sample, I took the first page of the Clan Fights forum. 21 of the topics were F2P, with a mere 6 P2P.


Sorry Joe, normally I would agree with you but this time I have to say RSC. Simply because RSC is more active.

Taking stats as of now.

Tip.It may be Jagex-supported, and RSC may be full of trolls and idiots, but RSC is still the heart of the clan world. I'd go as far as to say our last topic on RSC got us 2 intros. Hell, the ONLY real success in terms of apps we got from Runefest was our pen being featured on the front page of ZYBEZ. On Tip.It we knocked 'The' Clan off the #1 TWR spot and got absolutely nothing from it.

we should raid more, and get more wars before we care about all that stuff hash.png

Tbh keanu its not hard to do poth unless C&P hurts you?

By rachellove9 on 02/12/2010
Wow a guy that is trying to say size matters?

Umm, I think there is this thing called maturity. RSC is lacking in that area by about 3/4 of their members. It is not that the site is bad or that the moderators are doing anything wrong. It is that the audience that they seem to get is way less mature and each has it own agenda to twist things to their own benefit. I don't visit it all that often but every time I do it is the same thing. When you visit TipIt they are actually nice, inviting, helpful, and friendly towards each other in general.

So although you are claiming that size matters, they may not have the qualities that we want in our members. I'm sure that RSC has many nice, mature, and friendly people too. But we see it more in TipIt.

If we are going to do RSC, then for certain we should also be keeping TipIt as our focus. Tom said it best with the Cut and Paste comment.

By WG_Keanu on 02/12/2010
Well using both I have nothing against. It's just we've been on Tip.It since early 2010, peaked at #9 on the TWR, defeated the #1 clan in P2P, and we haven't gained anything. Compare that to 2 intros with one topic on RSC. Using Tip.It alone won't help us half as much as RSC, even if the quality of the members increases. And in a week on RSC we're already defining a reputation with clans like Brut, DB and Poison. People are starting to get to know WG once again. I will not be too surprised if within a few months we start appearing on the top 10 lists again.

By Armybuilder1 on 02/12/2010
NO keanu we're not There taking the piss.
Basically. You just cba. Thats all it is.
WG will never get anywhere if you dont use all the options available to it. No one ever pumps the recruitement topic on tipit. Other than me.
Wg wont get anywhere unless we get active members. To get active members then in all honesty 1in5 are active for wg. To get these we need to use both. I came through tipit. And if id of known you were a RSC based clan. I would never have joined.

RSC says allowed of carp. They trolled you straight away with the whole #7#8 thing. In my eyes one run in doenst change anything. What you cleared was an EP dd Not brut out fighting. Tipit on the other hand would of seen what it was and given you decent feedback. The gratz and keep going which tbh is what WG needs. None of this #10 #9 whatever. Cos in all honesty we no where even close. Ye we have a ML of what 60? How many of us are active about 15? and turn up to most events.. 1/4 thats not good enough (not including staff)

You creating topics like the Brut one undermines all the recent effort to get back in the game in my opinion. SO much respect was gained from the PVP old school fights recently. And then a topic's created that in my opinion made us a laughing stock again.

The whole All publicity is Good publicity doesnt work. If we're a joke it doesnt do us any good.


By Vulcan Sin on 02/12/2010
to add to armies thing about activity
i see weve had a flurry of applications but i havent seen many people do anything after theyve been accepted
i mean a few have been active but

also has anyone seen i2ipperz he seemed to try and graduate and hhe hasnt posted his last part needed cor his app in weeks
i miss my low lvl raid buddy biggrin.gif

Well if you want to stick with Tip.It, be my guest. I'll save it for an "I told you so" later.

By Armybuilder1 on 03/12/2010
That makes no sense at all. Do you even read posts no you just comment stupidly then get crap for it. I suggest you start reading things how there wrote before you say another stupid answer like that.

By WG_Keanu on 03/12/2010
We simply aren't gonna get anything out of Tip.It. We've been a Tip.It clan for the past year. We held #9 on the TWR. We got absolutely nothing. Prove me wrong.

I'd rather we change our focus to RSC completley because with two topics we have AC offers from EoS, advice and support from BK, DW and CR, and even an apology from Poison for crashing our fight. We got congratulated on taking on Brut of all clans several times, when we clearly said we didn't claim anything. People legitimately said it was nice to see us returning to activity in P2P. Not to mention two intros. And we haven't even updated our RSC recruitment topic.

But if you want to keep our recruitment topic bumped on Tip.It as well, be my guest. I personally would not put the extra pressure on the staff to manage publicity on two fansites at this point, I'd rather just the one. And the bigger and seemingly better one at that.

WG today can pull almost 150 opts to wars if we try our hardest - we've seen it. It's simply a matter of showing the clan world we're a force to be reckoned with. If we move onto RSC - the heart of the clan world - and gain the reputation there, we'll grow. If we balance things out on multiple sites and keep going the way we are, we will get nowhere.

Simply going to get nothing out of tipit. Once again this makes you a joke. Your going to get nothing more out of tipit than you are rsc. Dude what did you expect from getting #9 in TWR a fucking medal? Its a rank ranks are pointless its a game... Explain to me what you hoped to gain out of it? its to get WG's Name back out there. If you noticed since we did do twr the chants of WG's dead had stopped.

AC offers from EoS prove to me. Cos tbh the opinion ive got it everything thinks you posting that was a joke. CR seem like nice guys anyway tbh not suprised they support. DW are pretty much the same as us. They have less members than us but. If we fought them im sure they'd still give us a good run for our money. Those of similar standing always do be nice to each other so they can use the good relation to get a war.

The whole taking on BRut thing. The whole clan world are laughing at you Keanu. You honesty think we took on Brut? No we took on an EP dd. A massed clan taking on an EP dd. Where have i seen that happen before. Oh ye.. Look at NMP on us the other night.. Ofc we're going to clear them. Once again when they came back and actually called themselves together to fight us. They wiped the floor with us. You didnt need to claim anything just posting it did so.

Your personal doing fuck all anyway. Im not pressuring anystaff. Just saying someone needs to bump it. ONE BLOODY POST DOES NOT KILL YOU. Unless thts too much for you... LOL RSC is not better in the slightest. The whole forums a joke. (if its better who won MSSW two times in a row?)

WG cant pull 150 opts at all. be relistic we have a memberlist that says we can. We pull 20. Im not counting a one off pull as 150 opts. That shows nothing. Too me it shows that WG is very very unstable. 15 to pks. then we pull 30+ to wars.. SHould be 30+ all the time not just when somethings hyped up. Your not going to get anywhere on just RSC either. THe reason you use multiple sites is to get your name out.

As I said, we actually got intros from RSC. That means active members, which in turn means a stronger clan. From Tip.It you say we got our name back out there... I'm sorry, but Tip.It is dead compared to RSC. Maybe we're getting known to the smaller clans for being a decent 60-man force, but the rest of the clan world still thinks we're dead.

Simply because of the rivalry EoS and Poison have.

We cleared Brut's EP DD, and then fought them when they massed up twice - the first time at Gdz where we held our ground until AF crashed, and the second where they won because we'd just fought FF. We have fought Brut before in 2010. We can take them on - we have numbers and strength, and they have their skill at returning, and both of us know that. We destroyed NMP while EP DD'ing. Then they massed up and cleared us, but you forget that we were still an EP DD, we hadn't even called a mass ourselves.

I've been applying our reply to topics in RSC's Looking for a Clan forum, also working on a better replacement entirely. I also posted our topic on the Brut fights, I helped give screenshots for the DB fight, I helped settle things with Brut and Poison, and I'd saftely say I helped in getting us some intros from it. And the MSSWs were 3 years ago. RSC would dominate Tip.It and any other fansite today.

We could pull 150. Needless to say it would have to get Great War hype, which we already know is one of our issues. But that does not make it impossible to achieve, nor does it make it impossible to improve on.

There is more than just copy-paste to being a fansite-based clan. It's about being involved in the community. I know this from personal experience with two clans - my clan Moratorium and the Unknown Bounty Hunters. They did exactly what you're suggesting - used multiple fansites to gain reputation, and they got nothing from it. UBH is long dead and near forgotten. Maybe RSC has gained a bad reputation in recent years, but it is the people involved in the community that give it its reputation.

It will not work. It is 2010, not 2005. We should know what works and what doesn't by now.

By Armybuilder1 on 04/12/2010
Not once has anyone said we stick to one you actually neerd to read things...

Your just being stupid limiting your options.
Atm to me you just being keanu and think he knows whats best. You havnt given anything to argue with at all.

WHo said anything about being a fansite based on tipit?? No one. I just said it doesnt hurt making sure all topics go on there as well as rsc. I think you man have got the wrong end of the stick. We use both to our benefit. I dont care what you do on rsc tbh. The whole forums a shambles. As for you know what works and what doesnt work. Ive been Tif since Oct 06. Ive seen how tifs changed. Hell all the time ive been there ive had a friend on the clan staff. Bufoman , then Dbz and now Joe. CD on Tipit is not what it was. But that doenst mean we neglect it in anyway. Especially atm where alot of people are seemingly going back to TIF. I know being involved with a clan site takes alot of effort. Myself of all is very aware of this. Us in TSA does this in two ways. One. Its our guys that write the tipit times. In the editors and writers we have Lore, Stormrage, Emerson , Deathmath. We also had writers on the tipit clan times. The first MSSW that tipti won it was the fact tsa put as much effort into it as we did made sure we won. Im not saying oh everyone leave RSC and join tipit. THat would be daft. What im saying is. You use both anyway.


The only reason the RSC recruitment thread does well is because people bump it. I cant bump the tipit it one on my own. Because A. its Vephy's post meaning he has the bump button not anyone else. B. Id rather not just have mass posts on the same topic. Doesnt go down well.

Which reminds me the CR gratz's Uffan5 posts all the time anyway. Same thing each topic. He does the same thing on tif. (go look he's posted on there as well as RSC) CR can post on both why cant we? Or are you in some way incapable of doing so?

Ye ive been reply to topic on tif too. Brut thinks your a joke. No offence man. (ill quote them if i have to but im nice )



By Vulcan Sin on 04/12/2010
I must say. TIP.it seems to have grown a bit recently...and it isn't full of idiots and would be a place to start.

But i agree with Keanu...in saying RSC is the dominant clan world atm and it would be a way to get going again

Both Valid reasons

It just depends on how you post on these forums...(meaning the way in which you write the post)

You ever think that we have a spy? Looking at that footage, we cannot put up a fight against Brut. Don't even try to claim it. Apologize and live on. If you expect to live in the wilderness don't fuck with a clan that will relentlessly try to end you.

And while I am grabbing attention, someone needs to change the freakin' banner. It looks like complete and total shit in the state that it is in. If that is how you want to attract members, then someone needs to have a talk. We used to have a nice system that had a banner rotation, but I guess everyone that knew how to do that is no longer council.

I remember Gene was redoing it. It got lost somehow, sometime during runefest. I think it is deleted and Gene needs to put it back. PM him. This is just going from memory so it is something like that.

Being active in both tip.it and RSC would be advantageous to us. Of course, easier said than done, selecting only one would not be good as both.

Also, don't think we can take brut. We dont have a single advantage over them.

I hope you know that doesn't mean anything... but instead of arguing why don't we just post on both! neko2.gif

BTO is right, we don't have what it takes to take on Brut now. There are a lot of factors behind it, but for now I think we should stick to F2P clan wars fights and working our way upwards. The more victories we post on third party sites the better!
