Amateurnoob Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Well we finally made it Ladies and Gentlemen. Before I get into the whole congratulating and thanking part of this topic; I would like to start off with a little Downfall history. DOWNFALL HISTORY Downfall was founded a year ago on September 6th 2008 by two men Buzzirox and Amateurnoob. Shortly after came Uffan5 and Griffin1116 (also considered the original founders) Yes some of you newer Downfall members might not have realized it but the clan friend that you love to hate is in fact a Downfall Founder. We originated a year ago right as we broke off from K0 Unit led by Sportdemon91. We were all members of it. Amateurnoob being a Co-Leader of K0 Unit. We wanted something new and different so all of us had agreed to make our own clan. This was the start of Downfall. At first we struggled to receive members but then more and more came from K0 Unit such as Floginmolly7, Theseven 91, Thisbenathan, Chexvorn, and many other original K0 Unit members. At the start of Downfall we were 75+ with this beginning level we went to 141 and started off recruiting friends we knew from past wars, and some randoms. We grew very quickly gaining 100 members in the first month. We were amazed at the rapid growth that we had. We started off having clan wars against rival clans such as Sacred X (Now known as Generation X) and Souljaz (Formerly known as Tempted Killers). These wars were almost always allied wars as all of our clans were still picking up and not ready to reach out and war by ourselves, at this time hardly any of us knew what tanking and sniping was. Downfall grew every month becoming stronger and stronger we shortly became 80+ and then 85+. We quickly made rivals with Legacy Kingdom who quickly died out, and over time we gained many great members from Sacred X; such as Bia Zodiac (now known as Skaterdude90 gf jagex) and Aznpengwin. Over time we continued to grow and expand getting our name out. We eventually reached 90+ and fell into a huge rivalry with Legendz; who would not war us until we went onto TWR, as they didn't believe we would follow their rules. Well shortly after we went onto TWR, and shortly after that we took the Number 1 spot. Now we are here today 100+ celebrating our 1 year anniversary. From the start of Downfall we wanted to be 100+ within the first year. Going from 75-100 was a big deal to us we didn't want to start out like most clans strictly 100+ we wanted to help our friends and watch them grow. So here we are at our 1 year. SPECIAL THANKS AND CONGRATULATIONS Special Thanks: -All of Downfall you all have made us what we are today, past and present Downfall members without you we wouldn't have gotten this far. -Uffan5: You were with us from almost the start (about 4 hours after the actual start =D) You have strived to make Downfall what it is. You made the wars, you worked tirelessly on the site, you managed the clan, as I went active over the summer. I especially want to reach out my sincerest thank you to you. For all you have done for us to make us what we are. You are an amazing leader, and amazing clan member, but most of all you are my best friend. -Darkpyro1632: Thank you for managing our site and helping us out with everything that we needed for the technical aspect. Also thank you for the monthly newsletters and the great writings from you. You are a great friend. -Souljaz/Tempted Killers: Without the rivalry you guys gave us we wouldn't have strived so hard to become what we are today. Thank you for that. -Legendz/JC 067: Infinitone without your push for us to get on TWR to war you we would have never received the number 1 spot. Jc 067 you have always been very kind and willing to help Downfall; you offered your alliance to us and we gratefully accepted. You are by far a great man. -Sportdemon91: We have had our hardships but they are all over now. We want to thank you for bringing us up into the clan world and showing us what clans are about. -Sparze: Yes everyone you heard it right... Downfall is thanking Sparze. You give us a fire and hate that is unlike any other. Your hateful comments and videos towards Downfall bring us closer together and give us something to laugh at most of the time. -Guthix Warriors: You guys scrimmaged us at the beginning and have been amazing allies we love fighting with and against you its always a pleasure. -Tip It Staff: Thank you all for having us on TWR its been an amazing time and we love the community. Thank you for doing so much work and keeping up with our wars and most of all thank you for cleaning our topics. I'm sure it's a lot of work. -Tip It Clan Community: Thank you all for warring with us and helping us improve. Special thanks to Black Knights, every time we war you we learn something new. You all are great clans and have helped us become what we are. We have learned so much through our Tip it wars win and lose. And last but most importantly thank you to -Downfall Council, Leaders, Warlords (Past and Present) You all have managed Downfall throughout the past year and without you there's no way we could have functioned. It takes many people to run a clan not just 1 sole leader. We learned that through Downfall. I thank all of you for the work and effort you have put into running this clan. Current Downfall Councll- Rune pkers20, Lawidget, Maester50, Ch0bs r2h1(wtf?) Current Downfall Leaders- Thehitman324, Floginmolly7 Current Downfall Warlord/Founder- Amateurnoob DOWNFALL MEDIA ^^^one of the first DF Promo Videos^^^ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjqWshE-jrs ^^^Epic DF Promo^^^ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQc3PQ03KHU&feature=related ^^^Old War Thanks NBK ^^^ ^^^downfall versus masters of dragons^^^ ^^^DF Versus LGZ SUMMER WAR^^^ ^^^Downfall Versus Polish Hussar 1 hour 45 minutes^^^ DOWNFALL TO COME Downfall will now be doing more PVP events, and focusing on 105+ by the end of October. We plan to continue increasing our combat requirements and becoming more strict on new applicants. We will remain in TWR and hopefully branch out doing more wars against clans outside of TWR as well. /color] CLOSING Thank you all for making Downfall what we are now. I am so happy that you all are in Downfall and I am extremely happy to know that I can call you all my clan mates but even happier to call you my friends. We have come along way. Lets keep up the good work. NOTE: Downfall will be opening our clan chat for tonight and tomorrow so any past friends, rivals, clan members can stop in and chat. We will also be having events all day on Saturday anyone is welcome to come and stop by. Thank you all once again. @@@@@DOWNFALL PRIDE@@@@@ Do us all a favor, construct a proper sentence.

Laikrob Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Grats on not only surviving for a year, but doing it well. :thumbsup: Keep up the good work! You're accusing me of bigotry, how ironic. It's a nice attempt at argument, but your responses are facile and asinine, if not diatribe. Who's arrogant now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BkJordan Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Great job DownFall. You're one of the clans I respect the most. Your admiration, willingness, and eagarness to do better with every war, is just amazing. You're great when you win, and you're excellent sports when you lose. One year is a great accomplishment, and I can easily see you going for another two or three, longer if RS is still popular by such a time. On behalf of the BlacKnights, Congrats and all the best.
