History
Rick considers himself one of the earliest members of WG, though the exact date on which he first joined is unknown.
=Co-Leader
Rick was elected to the position of Co-Leader on 15 March 2004, following the previous co-leader Sum41xx's resignation. According to the clan website at the time, Rick's duties involved:
- Answering clan members' queries
- Moderating the clan Forums
- Stabilising Clan Production
Rick also served as "Clan Fletcher" - likely due to a high fletching level - and a Promotion Referee[1].
On 27 April 2004, it was decided that His Lordship and Rick Hamm would share leadership of the clan[2] - however rather than being an equal holder of the rank of "Leader", Rick was still listed as the "Second ranking leader of the clan". On 17 May 2004, Rick and Lord Xin's positions as co-leaders were celebrated in a ceremony.
The Synergy
- Main article: The Synergy
During the founding of The Synergy in August of 2004, Rick left WG for the new clan - with the understanding that Syn and WG would become allies. However after hostilities increased, Rick returned to WG.
The Revolution
- Main article: The Revolution
Rick would leave for the second time around January 2005, this time intentionally forming an enemy clan with Noricle. Rick believes that The Revolution had some of the highest-ranking players in RuneScape, and had the sole intention of killing WG. However, TR disbanded on 22 March 2005.
Later Career
After The Revolution, Rick returned to WG but would have a relatively unstable career with the clan - being kicked and/or banned on at least two separate occasions. He also joined Clan Jaguar for a brief period, but did not enjoy his time with them[3].
Rick considered himself "retired" from RuneScape around 2008, though when WG's Hall of Shame was cleared in early 2010, he returned to the game, introed to WG on 15 November 2010[4] and was accepted the next day.
Rick did not make the transition from IPB to SMF in June 2011, and this is believed to be the end of his career with WG - apart from occasionally visiting the clan in Discord.
Real Life
Rick Hamm (real name) was born in 1969 and is from Michigan, USA. He has at least 3 children. Outside of RuneScape he is known to have enjoyed '"Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, 1980's music, bowling, and spending time with his family.
