2009 Anniversary

Samurai_JM's Forum banner for the 2009 "Clanniversary".

The 2009 Anniversary, also called the Clanniversary, was a celebration of the 6th Anniversary of the Wilderness Guardians. The anniversary was delayed by several months due to His Lordship attending the third Real life meeting^[1]. A total of 16 events were hosted over the course of five days throughout the month of March 2010.

Videos

Three videos of the majority of the Anniversary were produced by Vio, though he was not present for some events due to real-life commitments. A video of the day one Firefest was recorded by Torreoria, but it was hosted on a non-YouTube platform and has since been lost to history.

Part One

This video covers days 1 and 2, including the Megaraid, Snowball Fight, and iSketch. The Veteran War, Firefest, Musical Chairs, and Race to the Throne were not recorded.

Part Two

This video covers days 3 and 4, including Barrel Bombing, Zombie, Dance Party, Scavenger Hunt, and Streets of Ardougne. Campfire Stories was not recorded.

Part Three

This video covers all of day 5, which consisted of the Clan Quest and Photo Shoot.

Preparation

The preparation event, 6 March 2010.

There was extensive preparation for the anniversary, which was originally planned to last for seven days and host twenty events which would be voted on by the clan members^[2]. Clan members would wear a designated costume for most of the events - the same as the previous year (tan Tribal mask, pink Tribal top, pink Villager robe, brown Villager sandals, and a Team-9 cape). A Flash introduction was produced by His Lordship^[3], and a Forum banner was made by graphic designer Samurai_JM.

A preparation event was held on 6 March 2010, which allowed members to gather logs for the Firefest at Seers' Village (and do an Evil Tree random event), and for His Lordship and Kcross73 to sell the costumes and steel armour sets for the Veteran War.

Day One

The Veteran War, 7 March 2010.

The Firefest

Thousands of fires were lit across Falador, symbolic of birthday candles.

The Public Drop Party

A drop party was held in the Falador party room - members from the entire clan world were invited, and over 17,000,000 coins worth of items were dropped.

The Megaraid

For the first time, a Megaraid (a large-scale PK trip) was hosted as part of the anniversary. The clan went PKing in the Wilderness and Falador on PvP worlds, with His Lordship even obtaining a kill himself. The trip ended with a run-in with the team Welfarers.
