Formation
In January 2011 Vio (as WG Amethyst, the Historian of WG at the time) recieved a temporary suspension from the clan for an unrelated issue. After offering and rescinding his resignation, he reached an agreement with WG staff to leave for an indefinite period. Around this time, Jagex had announced the "re-release" of the Wilderness, reverting PvP to near it's original state prior to the updates on 10 December 2007. Having previously founded and led a number of moderately successful clans before joining WG in 2009, Vio chose to found a new clan once again. He would use the RuneScape display name TBK Amethyst for the majority of the clan's lifespan.
TBK opened around 1 February 2011, and within 2 months of opening TBK had over 50 members - more than WG at the time - though WG had better levels and significantly more experience. An important factor in TBK's numbers was a merge between TBK and another small clan, The Vigilantes. The merged clan retained the name and attributes of TBK, though grew considerably in size, and the TV leader Madz was given a staff rank - much to the displeasure of a number of the original TBK members. This would cause significant issues further down the line.
Although not intended as an exodus from WG, TBK recieved a number of former WG members including former warlord WG Justin. However, Vio had the initial vision of TBK serving as an unofficial junior clan of WG - expecting to offer an unconditional merging of the clans when WG would allow it. TBK was initially on considerably peaceful terms with WG for the first two weeks of February 2011. Members of the two clans would often attend the other clan's raids without issue, and on at least one occasion the clans met in the Wilderness without engaging in a fight.
