Hey, sorry for the late post! It was interesting that you came looking for us, as far as I am concerned that is a positive step and I hope we do meet again in the near future, I agree that a planned fight would be quality but while I may not respect your stance on planned fights with BK I have come to accept it. For those who don't know, BK is on Gladz's black list and has been since 2006. We can only fight in unplanned fights. Saying that as you've admitted that mid sized EST clans have disappeared then maybe it is time to look at changing that :-# I know BK has resorted to fighting a lot of European clans out of timezone which is tough. This fight we were outnumbered but with it being Gladz we wanted to give it a go and tried to get people to come but in the end we couldn't make up the numbers and had to call it off. It wasn't very fun for me as i couldn't get to the fight without Gladz piling me (once when I was at BH (while I was trying to talk to Unbeaten in IRC :oops:) when they were banking just before the fight started proper and then when i returned at GDZ before I had joined BK's pile). I had 2 deaths on the night and no kills.

Have fun Y_Guy! Sorry to see you go but I'm sure you're enjoying yourself a whole lot more now being as busy as you are :thumbsup:

ummm... DK, while I dislike NI I think they have a much more interesting history, DK was a CWA team originally in Gotenks 2322's CC and as such their history is relatively short and not overly interesting as it stands. As those are the clans that come to mind when i think crashing DK is the clan that gets the most dislike from me.

I miss RR the most, they were our allies and were a cool group of people, outside of them MK who BK was either allied with or friendly with quite a long time ago (together we were KU). Not including former allies: MoD, I always liked MoD and was sad to see them close to recently. Also TMRD get a mention, I miss BK's big full out wars against them despite us losing both of them and also the youtube war we had one time while being stupid was kind of entertaining :rolleyes:

Does your clan have a Warlord? We have 3 that I know of What is the role of the Warlord? Create wars and also to moderate boards and ideally to be a part of the community in the same way that a council members is although that's not a requirement In terms of power, is being a Warlord anywhere near close to being as powerful in your clan as a High Council member(or a rank equivalent)? Well Bk has leaders, warlords and council as the active leadership positions, and the warlords are warlords until they can no longer do it/are demoted unlike the council who are changed every 3 months. Traditionally, do you think the roles of a Warlord has ever changed in the past 5 years? not especially

Looks like fun, it's nice that it was so close in numbers and kill count, great when things fall into place like that. GJ Vengeance! and Unlucky Solace but gratz on putting up a good fight against another good clan :thumbsup:

It's all just old, clans getting out of the crashing, clans joining in the crashing. I mean RoT are threatening to crash VR because VR stopped them crashing their fight. These threats from RoT are a bit ridiculous too, it's not the first time they have threatened a clan for having Brut members, it's not really any of their business. It's tiresome.

1. CR - I think in the EST timezone you are the top clan and it would take a big pull and a great fight from any other clans on tipit to beat you past 4pm EST, as that is a more common time to fight I'll put you top 2. DH - In the GMT timezone again you are dominant, no other clan on tipit can match your impressive pulls and you can pull off very impressive wins 3. BK - Can challenge the two clans above on a good day at the right time, pulls enough people to get wins over the people below 4. RT - Binding, levels and organisation are quality, I would probably root for you against anyone in a matched option fight, with slightly larger pulls you would give the above 3 a run for their money 5. DF - Has great numbers to fights which I would think give an advantage over most below, also have decent organisation which gets them #5 for me

try to stay on topic please. Congratz on the win DV, that's a nice pull, unlucky Lost heaven

Apologies for that, we thought Gladz were going to fight us and then you bumped into them after we told you we were going to fight them and they attacked you, it's pretty much BK's fault that happened so sorry again, cheers for offering to AC though <3:

Oh I missed this topic, as far as i am concerned RT just outclassed us on the binding, I was the second pile after you lot saw me in robes and yeah I died faster than your second pile simply because I couldn't move, even in full hide with steel skin lol :wall: so gratz on your epic binding and very nice levels too, being able to pull ~20 people who are 120+ is a very nice thing to be able to do :thumbsup: Gratz on the convincing win in the end, hopefully we can fight you again soon and make it a closer affair. Unlucky BK, the binds let us down in this fight

I hope everything works out for you, goodluck! :thumbsup:

Good fight Gladz, what there was between us was pretty fun :thumbsup: Good job against the other clans too, looks like you had a good night of Scape :D

Corphovaliarb :oops: The Sabres + the Wanderers

I always thought Ride or Collide was pretty good even though BK haven't always gotten on so well with Coll. BK's long standing slogan is a little rude, well actually it's very rude and is to do with the K being shared :D unfortunately we can't type it in game without a whole lot of stars and yeah, we can't type it here either :(

Cheers for the fight TPR, I couldn't be there :( Gratz BK, keep it up! :D

1. How important is loyalty in clans these days? I think the major part of all the people who change clans and such these days is not necessarily to do with loyalty although it does end up at that but it is simply what they play for. Winning is a massive focus of what clanning is about now, powerhouse clans have always had the most attention but now if you look at Runescape Community they are the centre of attention, there is very little talk about anything else. I think with people aging they have become more competitive and as such they look to go to places where they know that they will win a lot of fights or at least be in one of the strongest clans. Loyalty is as important as it ever was, without the old members a clan would probably not survive very long. 2. Do long lasting members in a clan still recieve the respect they deserve? I have been in BK for 3 and a half years and I don't really expect respect, any respect I do get is much appreciated though :thumbsup: Maybe old members don't get as much respect as they used to though.

sorry to post a bit late, I always like MoD, BK was pretty friendly with MoD for a long period and you always gave us good fights, sad to see you go :(

guddu, hardly know who he is lol but Machamp doesn't always listen >.< For next person: Dandaman619 or Thehitman Dandaman619 Absuseless or Kiwiwithbow

GF DH, our main problem was that this fight was a time when you could get your optimum pull and we couldn't get ours, with the clans pulling similar numbers this meant that you were always going to pull more and the ~10 man deficit showed. We had our usual mid fight rally and began to catch up at one point but in the end you got it comfortably. I thought we did alright considering this is our first all styles fight in a very very long time (since before a lot of current members even joined BK lol) and we were outnumbered by so many, would be nice to have a war against you at our best time and see if the outcome is any different. It's unfortunate that we are so even in terms of actual power but we have different peak timezones.

- How long have you been clanning for? I have only been clanning since July 2006 so 3 and a half years. - Since joining clans, how do you feel you have changed? eg: maturity, humour, knowledge etc Well, I have been through a lot of ranks in BK and all of them have had their challenges and in dealing with the challenges I have gained some knowledge. my humour and maturity are probably similar to what they were although in some ways I guess I have become more aware of some things so maybe that would go under maturity. - Who or what clan, if any would you say caused these changes? I have only ever been in the Blacknights Clan so i guess it would have to be them. - Has any of these changes carried over into real life, if so, how? Leadership maybe although I can't put that solely down to BK, I have led things IRL too but I reckon BK has helped in some ways. Maybe with my patience with people too (need a lot of patience in BK :wall: ) - If you could start over clanning again, what would you do differently? If I had another go round then I would want to use my time as BK Cadet leader better. It was my first attempt at leading any sort of clan and I was thrown in at the deep end a bit, with staff who weren't contributing as much as they might (and some staff who were incredible) there was some inactivity while I was leader and I would like to change that I guess. - Do you have any goal or ambition to do with clanning, if so, what? My goal is to help my clan to get better as a clan in every way, that doesn't mean become a powerhouse or anything because I dislike a lot of what being a powerhouse is, but becoming more organised in wars and getting what we need to sort out sorted out and then in the community just making as nice for people as possible, they would have to be my goals in clanning. - Do you have any regrets? Not being in BK from the beginning I guess is a regret, actually knowing how everything happened in BK's history would be cool, there's a lot of assumptions and guesses in my version of the clan history

I reckon I'll choose Dan Absuseless or Clay More (Dfchester)

So what are your views on cw clans? I used to be at CW all the time I was on RS back around 2005-2006 and I have enough tickets to get into a lot of CW clans but while I think CW clans are fun and are absolutely fine I think CW is what I have come to dislike. When I played very few people had ancient magic and even fewer had barrage, there were no God Swords or D Claws or anything else that had the possibility of 1 hitting you (apart maybe from the dds) and I played on a world where there wasn't really a team but everyone knew each other (world 69) and was one of the best CW worlds around in terms of quality of player. Now it is different, you don't really have to know how to play and so my view on CW is that it has been ruined by Jagex and therefore so have CW clans. Would you consider Ever joining one (have you already been in one?)? I was clan friend in a CW clan once upon a time but they had very strict multi clanning rules and so I could not join as a member as I was already in my pking clan, I wouldn't consider joining one now. Which do you think has more fun? pking/warring is far more fun than CW now. Which do you think is more intense to be in, and has more intense wars? I would probably have thought about saying CW clans a while back, having the flags be a focal point created a lot of activity around them but with it not being very organised there was just a lot more going on in a way. Now I have to say pk clans have more intense wars, I simply dislike CW wars now, without barrage and Bandos/3rd age/Barrows armour/weapons there is not a whole lot you can do and 1 person can take out 5 or 6 people at once simply through having better equipment.

Ah I'm sorry to see this :cry:
