thoughts on @Bob Kelso and dakota edating, then bob losing out to like 4 other men?

Bob Kelso never edated her, but she did used to move him into officials discussion alone with her where I think she attempted several times to get a good look at his Welsh pigstick. Although he denies these accusations and will probably block me for releasing this information.

What made you move away from calling and get into the council rank?

Calling in P2P is very different than F2P. I'm easily distracted and P2P calls for many people talking at once (updating information, calling movements, calling clumps, etc). F2P I was able to have the floor uninterrupted, so I was much better in that environment.

Will @true ever get fined for poaching?

[Adam_ 1,040]

You mentioned being unsure Tempest would last or do well being both a startup and f2p focused. Seeing the success, do you think other clans would do well reopening or starting from the ground up? Any clans you think could reasonably reopen in 2021+? 

 

What clan would you say DF has the best relationship with?

 

Honest thoughts on the following as an individual clan:

Tempest

DF

SV

AF

Rev

AC

DR

PD

WL

 

Who are some people you were happy to see leave or get kicked from DF?

Would Tempest & Divine Forces merger be the biggest corporate power play in rs history?

I can't think of a bigger implosion waiting to happen if I tried.

How are you all so lucky in rs now, Divine Forces seems to be one of most PvM wealthy clan in 2021, but historically when I was there, we never had any PvM knowledge yet luck?

Things can change a lot when you build a memberbase of people who actually enjoy playing RS instead of people who only like PvP.

One day the pandemic dies down a bit, what will happen to clan worlds activity and how many clans would suffer from other "free time" activities returning?

Personally feel like we've been seeing the return to pre-covid days for a few months now. Even more so now with mass rollouts of the vaccines.

hat lead to the Lovelost incident? At the time it felt spontaneous and bizarre for him to do what he did and I didn't feel like asking questions.

We had like 4-5 Fools members join DF during a time when we were trying to inflate our ML a bit. But as you may know, DF has a policy of requiring all members of any country clans or team that DF and our events must be priority. It was no secret that most members of Fools prio'd Fools and other clans allowed their Fools guys to prio Fools over their clans (DI, Ronin, etc). Lovelost was the only official who was really adamant about letting them prio Fools while in DF but it was still being discussed (their FA applications were still pending). Our FA manager at the time put his foot down and declined them on his own and it caused a whole thing over it. Lovelost started having him ddosed and soon as we had gotten evidence of Lovelost being involved, he left the clan.

 

The greatest irony in the entire situation is that literally 2 weeks later Fools themselves banned multiclanning and so those members would have had to leave DF anyway.

 

11 hours ago, Kestas said:

Who do you think had the highest peak between You, Sem and Lovelost? Who was most consistent?

Out of us three... Hard to say. We all shined in different areas. Lovelost was by far our best hype man. He'd make people laugh, have a good time, and pump them up during fights with his calling. Granted, this sort of calling only really worked in the wilderness. He was a disaster in CWA most of the time (especially the whole compass ordeal). Sem was definitely more consistent out of us. He was always just consistently solid. Never really had really awful moments or really amazing moments. Just always got shit done. But when it came to someone just going crazy and popping the fuck off during a fight, I would say that's where I'd come in. It didn't always and there are plenty of fights I can remember where I just plain out fucking sucked, but during my peak I feel like when I got truly going, we did quite well.

What is your general opinion on Lithuanian clans in RS2 and OSRS?

Some of the ones in RS2 like LDK, LPT, LF, etc were all pretty solid. But the ones on OSRS have definitely been less than desirable from my POV.

 

12 hours ago, Kestas said:

Some of DF members IP's got leaked in 2013, we (or at least I) were never told how. Do you have any memory of how it happened?

I could be wrong, but the only incident with DF member's IPs that happened around that time was when Elrond140 had an IP grabber on Team Trinity's forums which had like 15-20 DF members in it at the time. I don't remember any other incident involving IPs.

 

12 hours ago, Kestas said:

Do you agree that DF dominated DI for the most of their OSRS history and that the only thing that kept them competitive against us was them pulling more?

100%. It speaks volumes that DI stopped fighting us in CWA after this 4-0 fight and quite literally never fought us in CWA again till their closure.

Have you had any interest in playing ironman accounts or is RS purely for events for you at the moment?

I enjoy playing RS outside of events but I've never liked the idea of ironman accounts whatsoever. I prefer making different PvP accounts: maxed alt, maxed med, maxed pure, etc.

I don't remember Mini BB coming back and leading after 2010 tbh, but he was quite good in 2007. I'm assuming your experience of him is an old guy coming back after so long and not knowing how to play the game / how to cope with the inclusion of snipers, etc. 

Ye, I heard the same about him from back in the day. I'm basing my post from his stint as ST in like 2013/2014. He's a really cool and funny dude and I liked him a lot, but ye he was pretty washed up at that point. Anyone would be.

Both Murray & 2k8 had some great moments in DF, far outweighing any of the negatives. Wasn't hard to outdo Shinobi though.

Any current member of DF that you'd like to see ranked but isn't and hasn't been?

There are a few but they're held back by IRL obligations. Aside from that, everyone else lacks experience in the clan or a leadership trait in general.

You said a few pages back the main thing you had in common with europeans was left wing politics. Thoughts on Bernie Sanders?

 

I like Bernie. I like a lot of his policies but dislike a few of them as well. He may have not become president, but he's done enough to force the dems to adopt a lot of his policies one way or another. Sooner or later being a "berniecrat" will just mean being a democrat, as it should be.

[Adam_ 1,040]

You mentioned I think the other night that having little cliques in clans more often than not ends very poorly. Has DF ever had these cliques and if so what was the worst you remember dealing with?

 

Will you ever meet up with the real Frank Vargas?

[B4uz 176]

What do you think is the difference between RoTs “embargo” era with DF and today’s RoT that can’t pull 20 people to “crash” a war.

 

If you had to pick 1 person from any clan of any era to open up a new clan, who will it be and why?

Choose a dream rank lineup consisting of either exodus and or df members or officials you've worked with to date 

[Ssj 909]

Generally thought's on dakota as a whole?

[John 264]

Been an interesting read so far. Remember you quite welll from the Exodus days when I was CR and whatever other clans I was in at the time that fought Exodus throughout the 2 stints. I guess I hadn't realized Exodus closed and re-opened, or maybe had forgotten such. 

 

Genuinely interested so I'll have a go at questions as well;

 

-top 5 memorable moments in DF? (all time)

-top 5 moments in the clan world all time if you can remember that far back

-how did you feel being led by a spastic? (DK Derek)

-IIRC it seemed that DDoSing wasnt very well known in the game at the time until DK came about teaming up with VR/RoT to crash and spy - do you think DK played a role in "pushing" the activity of DDoSing? just genuinely curious on your thoughts about the whole situation if you have any at all. 

-I fought alongside DK a time or two when i was "guest" calling for PH, do you feel as though DK couldve turned things around and gotten proper organization to actually compete? (No crashing, ddosing, etc.) that being said, i remember the few callers they had way back then were actually shit and just yelled at everything and called regroups every 15 minutes. you may or may not have already moved on, i think it was summer of 2009?

Also genuine thoughts on Ghjjf and Evizu as leaders?

Ghjjf is a mysterious dude, made some questionable decisions in DI, but overall seems to be a pretty smart dude.

 

Evizu is a complete monkey. But I guess he knows how to gather up all of his apes since the second he came back all of the people who abandoned VR in their time of need all seemed to magically show back up. So I guess he's good at something (and promoting cheat clients).

How many times did True ask you to do this AMA and what changed for you to say yes? Is it just you wanting to see the world burn?

I've lost count. The only thing that changed was that I had a point to make and I did so with this topic.

 

12 hours ago, Adam_ said:

True asked about a few current officials and someone else asked about Rene, so what about Alice as an official/person? Never spoken to her but she's pretty well known in the community as a pet hunter/completionist so seeing her also being an official in such a long standing clan that's generally respected in the community is neat.

Nice girl and a good official. Probably too nice. She's a very good worker and helps with a lot of our daily system upkeep. As well as our secret weapon in PvM competitions.

What are your thoughts on all the involvement of the pure and main communities with one another nowadays?

No real opinion. Some of the pure clan leaders are a bunch of losers for giving in to RoT demands so it was only a matter of time until anti-RoT clans retaliated.

When AF reopened a few members jumped ship (I think they were all ex AF?), what were the initial reactions to this and did you guys actually care or not really?

Ye like 3 people who were all ex-AF, so it wasn't really shocking. None of them were exactly core members, in fact two of them were kind of crybabies. So no one really cared.

There was a guy in DF in RS2 who was spying for VR and when caught, tried to claim that a VR member broke into his house and took the screenshots. I wish I was joking and I wish that he was also joking.

If clients were to disappear tomorrow do you think DF would have an incentive to try F2p again, or do you think you still wouldn't bother due to having a more p2p interested member base and not caring for the meta?

Without clients and a better meta, there's a good chance we'd fuck around with it.

What are your thoughts on Jaja as they were throughout OSRS and as they ended? What about CT?

Jaja - A forgotten trivia fact is that Jaja is responsible for starting the crashwar on OSRS. I disliked Jaja for a long time, mostly due to the gear they used. But towards the end of their lifespan (without all the SV freaks), their gear had gotten slightly better and were a solid clan to fight. I very much miss fighting them at altar with DF's EST unit in 2018 for like an hour just mass barraging each other.

 

CT - Dog clan. Spent their entire existence licking the asscheeks of RoT and because of that lost to DF in a 100v100 P2P full out.

 

11 hours ago, Adam_ said:

I heard Murray had been in talks with Christy before CT closed, not sure if he wanted to absorb their clan or just wanted to be in some sort of close alliance to help them out/set up fights to give them action/whatever. Is this true, and if so, can you elaborate on what the talks were about and why nothing ever came of them?

Not gonna lie, I'm not sure what you're referring to. I know they ended up becoming anti-RoT (against their will) toward the end, so maybe we were looking for fights? Unsure. I don't remember tbh.
