  1. I would like to preface this by saying this was not written by myself and I am unsure of who the author is, but in discussion with 3lite, we believe that it most likely was authored by him. Below is a history of Eternal Honour, previously written and documented in some dark hole internet archive. There is a lot of good stuff in here. It captures the time from EH's inception through our 4th Official War (post wildy/BH multi era, deep CWA era). ____________ On August 26, 2006 a decision was made which took many people by surprise, Flummbullen and Hurtbullen had made the choice to close Sacred Templars, leaving many loyal and dedicated clan members without a home. Amidst the chaos and turmoil of a clan and family closing, a number of members took it upon themselves to try and gather others around them, to create a new family. Silentdeathe, Ommoht, Lord Grug and King Zalbag approached Broski, asking him to help lead a new clan, one which would offer a new opportunity and home for those who had lost theirs, as well as a place to make a new name for themselves, to start a new legacy, one of their own. After jumping at the opportunity to play a role in the development of a new clan, brimming with potential; Broski was at first unsure of himself and his own capabilities, having a decidedly large pair of boots to fill left by Flummbullen as a leader. However, despite his apprehensiveness, Broski stepped up large to the task, being one of the original three Grand Officers, alongside Lord Grug and Ommoht. Upon further consideration, the decision was made to add a fourth Grand Officer, one of GMT orientation, and thus Pt37 was selected. The next step was the most crucial, sending out the PM’s to carefully selected, dedicated, loyal members to create a core for EH to grow from. After spending many days gathering members on temporary forums, the new family stood strong at 70 members, but without a name. The name came on a whim, with a simple desire to express the clan’s ideals and morals. Thus, Eternal Honour was born. The name embodied everything the clan was to stand for, Honour, self respect, pride, respect towards others, the list is endless. So here EH stood, amidst the shadows, 70 members strong, young, impressionable, ready to take the clan world by storm and prove themselves. One busy week after it all began, EH would move to their new, permanent forums that they would call home. Much of the start for EH would not have been possible had it not been for Gr4ffik, he was the original, and current forum admin, words can’t thank him enough for what he has done for our clan. Many members were encouraged to post suggestions on what they thought would be of need to improve the clan and allow our family to prosper. After collecting their thoughts and ideals, EH would then move as a collective in one direction, with a goal in mind. The first step came with closing their doors to the outside and stopping acceptance of applications. Council members and PK Leaders were then selected after a vote. The PK Leader selections were Flabbergast3, Striker 36 and 3lite. The council choices were Hotgurl71, Mistressabbs, SwtKittN and Silentdeathe (founder, appointed as default council). At this point, EH was ready, and they set a nervous, yet confident foot out into the clan world. In doing so, we opened our introductions, receiving many new, excited potential members wanting to be apart of EH and what we stood for. Many of the original applicants came from DE, as well as various other clans. Some time later, we opened our applications and accepted the first wave of members who were non-ST. We had lost many members who had joined impulsively after ST closed, the new members allowed us to balance out our member count with the switches. The time had come to test the waters of the clan world. Happy to be back out in the wilderness, there was much excitement surrounding our first PK trips, which in turn led to our ridiculous activity, with only 70 members, pulling 50+ to PK trips. Whilst still being rusty and figuring out the best way to work with a new group of people and leadership, we had our share of clashes with many respectable clans. Our first run-in found us pitted against Wilderland and in turn led to a loss – our first as a clan. We took it hard on the chin though, turning up the next day for another trip, running into Wilderland again, this time, EH emerged the victor. Another of our early fights was against the combined forces of Titans + Collision. Despite being horrible outnumbered, we fought for a very long time, both clans had a significantly larger memberbase to pull from, however we did not go down without a fight. That day we proved what we were capable of, we made a name for ourselves and we continued to push hard, showing our determination and heart in any way we could. Over time our name became commonplace on the toplists, being recognized as an up and coming clan had it’s benefits, but it also had it’s drawbacks. There were many expectations, as well as large shoes to fill, often being viewed as the successor clan to Sacred Templars. One of the first large-scale returning fights EH participated in was given to us by none other than The Gladiatorz. An old name, well respected and knowing for giving solid fights, we clashed with Gladz in what would prove to be our longest fight yet as a clan. As time wore on, we began to gain a feel for what returning really was, however when the dust settled, EH emerged as the last clan standing, proudly claiming the win in what was our stepping stone into long fights. Our membercount continued to grow with time, first reaching the 100 member mark, which permitted us the ability to challenge such clans as BK and TMRD to wars, which we used to improve ourselves. Win or Lose, we stood to gain something from every fight we had, we analyzed our opponents and we learned from them. We would continue to do our best to live up to our potential. The time had come to search for our first official war. The desired opponent, based upon the size of our clans and the skill level was BK, whom which we publicly declared upon, only to have them decline. This left us searching more, only to be approached by The Dynasty with a war offer. And so the stage was set for our first Official War, EH vs TD. We had the numbers advantage, while TD had the levels and experience working with each other. Confidence as well as determination showed in our commitment to this fight after a long week of preparation and practices. All EH members turned up proud, in identical gear, amulets, capes, boots, I’s dotted and T’s crossed to the letter. With just under 100 members at the time, we managed to pull 220 options, a stunning turnout over 75% of our memberbase. The fight was swift, with EH emerging with around 200 options, the victory was decisive. From that day forward we continued to improve, never looking back, always looking to the future and what we could do to improve. Fight after fight we became better, our member count continued to prosper and grow, soon we began to challenge the best. We had many long, drawn out fights with DS, the clan whom was considered to be the giant, the #1 clan, that which cannot be defeated. Many of these fights were hard fought, EH pulling over 300 options many times. We stood our ground against any clan who came at us, DF, DI, we did not run scared, we stayed and fought, proving that we ran from nobody, we stood our ground with pride. The time had come to look for our second Official War, another chance to test our mettle, to see what we were made of. Publicly declaring on RSC towards VR, whom we were on good terms with at the time would lead to our next war. After a few hours of negotiations, terms and date were agreed, set in stone as a two week preparation war, to be held on February 17th. EH bolstered a member count of 145 at the war date, VR showing strong with 130-135 members. EH pulled a stunning 330 options to the war, in comparison to VR’s 290. After some interference from crashers, many VR had felt that it strongly affected the outcome, although both sides suffered losses. EH emerged with the win, standing strong with 140 options. Our improvement since our last Official War was obvious, but it would not end here. EH continued to improve, at one point we were approached for a one day prep war by THE, a warring powerhouse known for pulling immense numbers. EH proved themselves this day with an incredible show of activity, outpulling THE, pulling over 399 opts, maxed opts to a war, only time EH had done so on a warring scale. The war was swift, with EH ending with a stunning amount of people remaining, in excess of 350 opts. This would be the peak of EH’s activity and shine as one of our best turnouts in our history. Shortly after the war, EH ran into its first official snag - the slump. One of Eternal Honour's Grand Officers would leave, and with him, many of his close friends. Due to the reasoning of his leaving, the clan was unsure what to think- They were devastated with the fact that one of EH's cornerstones was leaving. Many were confused, many were not sure what to think. After Pt and his company had departed, another wave of leaving had occurred - Those who were sick of large clans and long fights, those who felt our community was not what it used to be, and simply those who wanted a change of scenery. WG was re-surfacing again, and due to it - the large amount of WG members that came to us when WG was having problems, left. After the dust had settled, and the remaining members looked around and gathered their bearings - we had depleted from a member count of 150 to under 120. The duration of the leavings lasted from Mid-February to the beginning of March. After they had departed, the remaining members were uncertain, and left with low spirits. We had entered our first depression. Members were unhappy, and left in shellshock from the mass leaving. But with weeks of endurance, many, many amazing members being encouraging, suggestive and keeping up peoples spirits - we got back on our feet. We regained our spirit, our heart, and we had recovered. We lasted through our slump, and shook it off. We went back to being the force we were, fighting, improving - fixing our community, lengthening our FA process, putting in measures that would help support the growth of our community, fix the problems that had led to our member depletion - and set ourselves right back on track. Our member-count has never bolstered since, but we do not NEED a large member count. Regardless of how many members we have - we will be the best we can be. No matter how many fights we lose, no matter what happens - we will improve. We have shown it time and time again, that the determination and dedication of our members is unmatched in any clan. We can not ask for a better group of people. From this point on, things took a downward turn, after the controversy surrounding our Official War with VR, our relationship turned ugly. VR had a vendetta, and that meant hunting us down anytime we were out PK’ing. However, we were not a clan to be taken lightly. We knew full well what to expect every time we set foot into the wilderness. This would be the start of what would come to be known as one of the biggest rivalries in the clan community. A rivalry that pushed the limits of our clan in terms of fighting, we were forced to improve in order to compete. VR is a clan known for their tanking, for being the pioneers of it, having some of the best tanks in the game. The rivalry was intense, incurring many fights in the wilderness. EH managed to emerge victorious in their share of the fights, as did VR. Things went back and forth, even going so far as to stretch the limits of flaming, taking things outside of the game. At one point, even a forum hacking was involved. Eventually this heated rivalry began to die off, as VR stopped hunting EH, due to reasons that are quite complicated, but VR’s doing. Seeing as EH never hunted VR, we simply stood our ground, the rivalry began to die away. After a period of time, it became apparent that there was a need for another Official War. After searching, our opponent was to be none other than The Titans, often considered one of the best warring clans in the game. Due to their known prowess as tanks, also boasting a high combat average, TT would be a difficult task for EH to step up to. After a long two week prep, EH massed up on May 5th, pulling a solid 249 options to compare with TT’s 210 opts. Despite the large number difference, TT put up a solid fight, however 40 minutes later when the dust settled, EH would emerge the victor with 170 options remaining, continuing EH’s unbeaten streak in Official Wars. Not long after, things began changing for EH, our opponents changed slightly as VR dropped out of the picture for a short while, we began butting heads with DI and Corr on a more regular basis, both tough clans whom tested the limits of our dedication, forcing us to spend long hours returning and competiting, trying our best for the sake of a win. On one pleasant Saturday, EH headed up with the intention of acquiring a fight with Damage Inc, whom we had been told were out PK’ing. After talking with Brian, terms had been agreed to and the fight began. Things started off incredibly well, it seemed as if we were taking a somewhat quick advantage, only for the circumstances to change drastically in what was to come. After an appearance by Corruption, both DI and EH ceased fighting in an effort to sort out the situation at hand. After the dust settled, it was obvious that our fight was simply not meant to be. The next set of events would be one that would define the next path of the clan world, be it for the better or worse, that was yet to be decided. Shortly after the occurrence during the DI fight, a fight was scheduled between Eternal Honour and Corruption for the following day, a Sunday. The goal was simple – revenge. EH is not a clan which simply allows themselves to sink low in a petty manner designed for payback, hindsight would show that the choice was likely not the best. However, blinded by human nature and frustration, the deed was decided and the plan hatched. The plan would be seen by all the next afternoon. So the scene was set, EH and Corr, toe to toe in the wilderness in what was set as a grudge match, Corr having no idea what was to come. Both clans fought hard, EH performing well, keeping pace with Corr early into the fight. Then without warning, DF rushed from one side, VR from the other, quickly causing quick and utter chaos, all three clans in turn piling any Corr members in sight. Corr was quickly dispersed, leaving the three clans standing together as one in the wilderness, a common enemy had been found in Corr. In a weird turn of events, VR was now on the same ‘side’ as EH in what would come to be known as the cluster fights era. Reflecting back on this decision, it was not the best decision to make, nor the most moral, however the deed was done and we would have to live with our choice. It was a weak moment in the history of EH. In the next few weeks, what would follow would be a series of cluster fights, with sides pitted against each other, staging the clan world into three groups, those two fighting each other, and those staying out of it all. It was comparable to a World War on a pixelated scale. After the hype surrounding the cluster fights began to die down, there were two major PKRI’s that EH would participate in before what would be the most drastic change the clan world will have faced yet. In what appeared to be an increasingly heated situation between EH and EoS, tensions were growing over time. Small fights breaking out here and there would eventually lead up to what would be one of the longest fights in EH’s history as a clan, 12 hours of fighting takes a toll on anyone, it only further proves the dedicated members EH has, those who are willing to do whatever it takes for their clan to succeed. 12 hours were spent fighting EoS on what would prove to be a late night, which would further increase the tension between our two clans. This would not prove to be EH’s longest fight though. That title would be held by, and is still held by Collision. In what would prove to be a stressful fight, EH and Collision went toe to toe for 14 hours, neither clan having any desire to give up, both clans putting all their heart and soul into it, wanting the win so badly, however, Collision would prove to have something that EH did not. Collision wasn’t just fighting for a victory, they were fighting for a person. Having recently lost a member, Col was fighting to honour the death of not just a clan member, but a friend, it takes something unheard of to overcome that type of motivation, and at the end of the day, we did not have it. Col would walk out with the victory after 14 hours, long fought and hard earned. This would prove to be the last fight that EH would have in the wilderness prior to Jagex’s dramatic change to the game, which effected the clan world immensely. On February 19th, 2008, Jagex removed the wilderness from the game, thus effectively eliminating PK’ing as we knew it. The attack option in the wilderness was gone. In turn, Jagex left us with a new alternative, Bounty Hunter, which would be known as BH. BH was an arena, within the walls of which was contained a multi combat arena with little to nothing to hug for obstacles. Some clans preferred the new way of PK’ing, some despised it. All were forced to accept it, seeing as Jagex left us with no other alternative. One positive benefit of this day would be the Clan Wars Arena. A gift from Jagex, the arena allowed two clans two war in a safe environment, free from crashers and returning to a war. There would prove to be a number of downsides and glitches in the new arena, most would work themselves out with time. The most obvious downside would be the 100 person cap placed on the arena, which still has yet to be fixed. The changes to the community would force clans to re-evaluate the way they function and how they setup their fights, due to a confined space, restricted to a number of worlds, it made it extremely easy to run into clans, thus providing a field day for large clans and a nightmare for those who got in their way. This stage would prove to be what is arguably the worst stretch in EH’s history. After the removal of multi, many people quit the game, clans lost many valued members. These would be known as the dark days for EH. At one point, before the switch from the Wilderness to Bounty Hunter, our member count dropped so far as the low 70’s, leaving us stripped to our core of hardened, dedicated members. We were left with those who would be there no matter what, our strong, resilient members, yes these were dark days, but these would be the members who would do whatever it took to bring EH back. And bring EH back they did. With time, we proved ourselves in BH, redeeming our loss against Collision numerous times, as well as drastically improving our warring ability as a clan. We began to master the art of capped fights, improving our ability and becoming adept with melee sniping. EH was quickly becoming known as a clan which boasted one of the better warring skillsets, that of strong organization, solid binding and sniping. Our member count, whilst still low, would continue to grow from this point. Our dedicated core of members would not fail us, we fought hard, doing everything we could to improve, taking an active role in the CJ tourney, starting out strong in many categories, eventually we would end up in the finals of the 20 vs 20 category, something that would have been unheard of for EH a year back. Having worked hard to recover from our dark days, EH was looking to gain back their former place as a recognized clan, and as such a fight was scheduled with DI, always a powerhouse clan, always a difficult opponent. Little did the EH members know going into this fight that it would be their last in a multi combat zone as a PKRI. Having spent a number of hours working out the rules for the fight, the motivation put in place, the day arrived. EH would square off with DI after a long search for a world in what would prove to be one of their hardest fights in BH Multi ever. For four hours both clans fought hard, many times the momentum went back and forth. Both clans put forward an incredible effort. At the end of the four hour cap DI would stand tall with the higher option count, but no EH would hang their head, having given DI a fight to remember. The next major fight EH would attempt would be a tall task indeed. Having never beaten Corruption in anything except a 20 vs 20 for the CJ tournament; EH had their hands full after setting up and prepping for what would prove to be their most hyped fight in a long time. Alas, it was never to happen. Only days before the fight was scheduled to take place, Jagex struck once again. This time, the effect was more devastating. Rather than changing the way multi combat functioned in their game, Jagex simply removed it entirely, with the exception of the Clan Wars Arena. Clans were left with no option for PK’ing, only warring remained. The community lay stunned and the future uncertain. The next few months would prove trying for many clans, those whom were extremely PK based would struggle, whereas those whom were accustomed to warring would prosper. A new era was born, that which was highly dependent upon organization, tanking became crucial, as well as the turnout. The environment is one that EH was well suited for and would use to their advantage. Having been well accustomed to clan wars since it’s release, EH knew well how it functioned, whereas many of the other clans had scoffed at the Clan Arena, labeling it as unnecessary. These next months became a blur, being run together with more wars than could be kept track of, wins would come and go on opponents; RAW wars would become more commonplace. One war which would stand out clearly would be EH’s fourth Official War. Red Devil Clan had approached EH looking for an opponent for a RAW war and EH gladly accepted the challenge. RDC would prove to be tougher than EH had anticipated. Country clans have the advantage of being able to pull high turnouts, since they are all in the same timezone. This would lead to a large importance placed on turnout for EH. As both clans massed up for the fight, their turnouts were equally impressive. RDC, however, would prove to have the numerical advantage for the war, forcing EH to work hard in an attempt to come back. EH fought hard, but were no match for RDC on that day. RDC were simply brilliant, giving a strong performance, they handed EH their first loss in an Official War. A loss is important, but learning from it is more important, and that’s just what EH would do. Continue to learn and improve their abilities. There are clans and then there are families. Some come and go, some stay eternal. Families stick together through anything, through the hard times and the good times, no matter what, they stay strong. Eternal Honour is a family and will always hold strong those values which have made them what they are. To take pride in one’s work is to cherish it, to show others how much you care, how you live your life and how you value respect. The history of EH has been filled with both dark times and bright times. Let there be many more good times to come. Fight as one, fight as family, fight together. EH PRIDE.
  2. Thanks for the backstory! Yes, ZF -> ST -> EH. Shadow Elves was not connected to these clans in any way/shape/form.
  3. Rocky. This legend and I share the same first name so naturally he would win. You're welcome!
  4. Are you sure blk nkight was not female? How do you know? Kayla never gave me a reason to believe otherwise. I did not know Rocky well enough later in his tenure in the clan. He seemed like a great personality. Cannot comment though on whether he would have excelled as a rank or not. I think 3lite answered this one well. Possibly contentious statement here, but I think it's factual. EH's skilling community did not want to be a part of any spur PK trips, only the large planned efforts and sometimes even then that was a stretch. Therefore, spur PK trips were always a smaller effort, which depending on who you ran into, could become a large effort and EH was at a significant handicap because certain individuals would refuse to participate. I wish. He's a legend. If anyone could find him it would be great to get in touch with him again. I was barely in the door at ST when it closed. That being said, I think it was abrupt. ST's tenure barely lasted until the 1 year mark. The clan flamed out very quickly which I think was surprising to many people. I still think it was abrupt, and albeit a bit selfish to close rather than transfer the mantle of leadership. EH has proven there were many capable leaders present in ST who could have carried the clan further forward. Because of this, ST is simply a footnote in the history book of EH. (No offense meant, simply my perspective). I remember at the start many people calling EH out as just a remake of ST but that faded with time. I think it's due to the sustained success EH had and longevity compared to ST.
  5. VR and it's not even close for me. They were arch enemy #1.
  6. He has an OSRS account. Quote didn't show up right. Oh well. I remember Corr as a clan that was very difficult to setup fights with. Because of this, the fights were fewer and more spread out. There are some clans that EH matched up better with, Corr was one of those we did not match up well against in my opinion. I always felt like fights with Corr were an uphill battle and Corr did an exceptional job targeting our fall in leaders and making us take the brunt of it. Maybe that's where my perspective shifts, because while our callers and fall in leaders were taking the heat, the pile survived and the members were able to hold up and do more damage. I remember that fights against Corr and DI my death counts were 50-60+ every fight. So while I spent the fight getting my ass kicked, EH as a whole could have performed exceptionally well.
  7. You give us too much credit haha. We weren't in it for the glory. Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. No. We had a few exceptional ones but Lil Blaknite and Xxxjay666 (Teemo) always stood out to me. You're welcome! Been a fun trip down memory lane. Uber! Good to see you on here dude.
  8. This was after my time. I didn't even know it had that nickname. Actions like this are an example of what I believe soured the relationship between EH and DF. But we were never truly allies. Just had a mutual respect. That respect definitely declined over the years. This is a challenging question. 3lite gave a solid answer earlier. I vividly remember the first win over DI, the VR rivalry carried so much significance and our rivalry with EoS. CWA was a strange time but I felt this was an area where EH's organization really showed and allowed us to excel where others who had relied on returning and numbers for success fell flat. Thank you. It's nice to hear that it didn't go unnoticed. I raided at a top level in WoW for many years after retiring from EH and RS. WoW is the only other game I've played significantly. The cultures I've come across in WoW weren't nearly as dynamic and rivalry focused as the RS clan world was. I think it is because of the nature of the game. PvE is not comparable to PvP. For this reason I don't think EH would have been the same in WoW, but EH's community aspect would have really supported a successful guild. i don't know that I can fairly answer the last question. There were leaders I respected but my role was fight focused as opposed to mending relationships and big picture discussions surrounding the future of the clan world.
  9. Just leaving and not being outspoken enough when I felt the clan was not achieving its potential. None. Despite wishing I could have. Strikes were not issued by Commanders. Yes. I remember these skirmishes! MonkeyFBI135? If so, no worries, that was over a decade ago. I try not to hold grudges! Thank you!
  10. It was very easy to motivate people to right VR, DI, EoS, etc. Those clans publicly flamed EH and made their disdain clear and this made it easy to rally the clan to the cause. It was easier to feed off that energy as a caller and leader as opposed to trying to create that passion and enthusiasm from nothing. Lack of clan support from Jagex. If there was more of a structured clan support system in place, maybe the clan world wouldn't have devolved as much as it has. I don't. I achieved my degree, I have a successful career job and I received hours of entertainment and enjoyment. The long fights were exhausting but I don't regret the time I committed to the game as a whole. Of all time is a pretty significant statement. So I will say for my era, it was Collision. Appreciate it! Thank you man!
  11. The game is so different now I don't think you can compare the two. The meta is so foreign. I didn't have a social life anyway, I was a massive introvert in college. This just filled the void. I replaced RS with WoW eventually. Glad to have resonated with you! Bent is all perspective. I would argue that you're more bent than me ya goon. Language yes depending on severity and context. Grammar no. Very diverse. A lot of GMT, a heavy Brazilian contingent and the Aussie/Kiwi unit was substantial. This carried us through many fights. Great dude! 3lite needs a restraining order for Rocky's protection. Surprisingly enough it was a culture that fed on each other in that regard. When someone stood out for breaking rules it was dealt with swiftly and fairly and no bias was given. This led to a clear expectation for members.
  12. I wasn't in ST long enough to know anyone. Tough question. At the time you didn't really get to listen to a lot of other callers. You knew who callers were but that was the extent of it. I respected the ones where the tide seemed to change if they were taking fall ins. F1r3o, D0nts, Rad's, Mar.
  13. VR. Hands down. These two clans were fated to be rivals from day one. And it didn't disappoint. Most: TT and RSD. Least: RoT and NI. It was a carryover from ST's days. It was an archaic position that we eventually did away with out of necessity. Answered previously ? Gonna make me blush, Trevor. Also I can't believe someone remembered that. I used it as a way to set myself apart. It worked.
  14. The list is massive. EH had such a dedicated core. I will probably miss most but, Babaseball, Green Viking, Jonezy50, Rvcwrestler, Ultimoruss, Xxxjay666 (shout-out to young Teemo), Cackerot (probably one of the best members ever), Grogdor J, Mr Mooij, Hammer455 (Absolutely rock solid member), Kinglee30. At the time, I would say TT was a mid tier clan with an insane amount of potential. This would come to fruition for them later on. Honestly, I never really followed WG. I didn't really see them as relevant. I figured this would come up haha. I was frustrated with the direction that clan was being taken and didn't feel that we were being aggressive enough and that we were squandering an opportunity to seize the moment and make a significant push for #1. Others disagreed with my position. So I chose to go someplace where they weren't afraid to PK against anyone and didn't pull any punches. In hindsight, I should have stayed and fought harder to push EH towards the top. I feel like my decision to leave and then return cost me some credibility. Devil1081 has been said, so I will say Warren121212 or Gatorbait223. Warren was an extremely dedicated binder who could not resist the urge to flame on RSC and was repeatedly suspended for this, and eventually kicked. Gatorbait was of the same cloth when it came to RSC. I don't know that I learned anything from clanning specifically but rather clanning reaffirmed who I was. My time in EH was during my college years as opposed to high school for many others. I had somewhat found myself and this experience reinforced those positions. I will mention it below, but low point was losing to Collision. I felt that was acknowledgement of having dropped a significant level in power. High point was being the type of clan that people would end rather than fight if they knew they didn't have a significant numerical advantage. EH's man for man quality was matched only by a few (TT, RSD, RDC). I think one of the most gut wrenching losses for me was 12 or 14 hours feel with Collision when we called it off. I felt completely and utterly deflated. Crushed. As a leader the scrutiny you were under was magnified 10 told over a member. Even if I had wanted to do something I wouldn't have been able to. My list is kind of tame. Deep into fights I would return without a weapon at times if I was taking a fall in and knew I was going to die, potentially even before I had the opportunity to skull. I would just have a staff to tank. These were fights where I died in excess of 50 times.
  15. EH was a clan with uncompromising values. We striker, and even kicked members, for things that other clans wouldn't have batted an eye at. I don't think there was one exclusive moment that defined EH, but rather a continuing, conscious effort to remain true to ourselves. Strengths: An uncompromising dedication to our values and our core memberbase that carried us through. We were extremely organized as well. Weaknesses: Our commitment to our integrity and self imposed rules held us back in an environment where others didn't play by the same rules. Our membercount was never enough to push us over the top. We were very selective with who we took in. I haven't really followed Deathrow too much. If I had more interest in p2p pking I may have explored it more. Null is Null. He's a great guy that never sugarcoats anything and will always stand up for his friends and those he respects. Hello. Were you ever in BK? No fucking leg pics. Get out of here with that! Some of my most memorable fights early on were against VR, later against EoS. I don't know that EH ever truly hated any clan, but these two were top of that list if it existed. Worst official: This is tough. EH was very thorough with who they promoted but the ones I never understood were Ommoht as a Grand Officer - he was never active, never around and as nice of a guy as he is, I don't know what he brought to the table. I also think Striker 36 was a mistake. The guy snapped and bailed rather than be mature and figure his shit out. Biggest regret: This is easy. Leaving. I recognized my mistake right away and ultimately came back but it's been said before that I am a passionate and emotional person at times and this can lead to me making a rash decision. Leaving for Corruption was probably an example of that. I have mellowed in my old age. I respected anyone who was willing to be honest and consistently true to themselves. For that reason, my list would include people like D0nts, Lego, Flinstoneman, The Rad's, Brian, Chopa, Mar, F1r3o, etc. When Milad was in EH with me, he was very young still. I actually butted heads with him a LOT. I wish I could have played with him later when he grew into his personality a bit more. Younger Milad was stressful haha.
  16. Hey everyone, I'm Xero! A little background on me: I joined Eternal Honour during it's inception as I was a Future Templar in Sacred Templars when they closed. EH was my first significant venture into a serious PK Clan in the glory days of the clan world. I was a member of Eternal Honour from it's genesis in 2006 until sometime in 2009 when I retired. I retired at the rank of Commander (PK Leader). Eternal Honour was something I took a lot of pride in being a part of. We had an extremely strong core group of members that carried us through highs and lows. This core group was always very skilled and allowed us to have a significant impact in an extremely competitive environment. Early on I caught the bug for clan PKing and wanted to do anything I could to help our clan succeed, which led to me becoming more outspoken and helping to support calling when PK leaders were either piled or returning. I have always gravitated toward leadership positions in my life and this was no exception. My skill at calling, coupled with my desire to lead and help my peers win, led to my eventual promotion to Commander, which I took a lot of pride in. I personally think my strengths were focused around quick reactions, I excelled at transitions, especially early on in CWA when teams were just getting started with operating with limited fall in leaders and no longer having the ability to return and I brought a lot of energy to the fight. The removal of the wilderness led to some dark days in the clan world but I feel a sense of accomplishment in knowing that I was able to help carry EH through the Bounty Hunter era and CWA era until I got burnt out and hung up my scimitar. EH was always home for me and I look back fondly on my relationships I formed during those years. My goal was to have fun, and I truly think I did that. And if I was able to help others succeed and grow while doing so, then I consider that a win. So let's do this! Ask me anything!
