    Glaucon24 reacted to ZainTheOne in You lost your sight along with everyone else on Earth. Two years later, without warning, your sight returns. As you look around, you realize that every available surface has been painted with the same message "Don't tell them you can see"   
    When The Blinding first occurred, I thought I was the only individual affected. I was sitting at my desk working on a school paper and in an instant, everything went black.
    I had cried out to my parents in fear and confusion, but their response was like an echo of my own. They, too, couldn't see. And we soon learned the entire world had been victim to having their sight filled with darkness. Interestingly enough, we don't think this affected any of the animals living on Earth. Just us humans. The only strange thing that occurred after this was the fact that the demand for Milk skyrocketed.
    At first, adapting was extremely difficult. Something as mundane and simple as using the bathroom had become a daily challenge I didn't look forward to.
    Within a few months, support groups had been created by individuals who were already blind prior to the incident. They assisted those who were struggling with adapting to their newfound obstacle.
    Thankfully, the world never really stopped moving or progressing. Outside of major adjustments that had to be made, such as devising a different mode of transportation or different requirements and standards in the working world, we managed to pull through.
    It's been about 2 years since The Blinding and there were times where I had forgotten such an event occured.
    I was taking a short walk to the store to get some groceries. I don't know why, but I've developed an almost dependency like state on milk. I had gripped the handle to the door to the small grocery store and pushed the door open. A bell was hung on the inside handle of the door.
    "Hello, let me know if you need help finding anything." A voice said to my right.
    "Thanks, Dave. I will." I responded.
    "Hey John! How've you been?" he asked with a somewhat enthusiastic tone.
    With a somewhat slow pace I walked around the store, feeling along the brail to determine if I had found my item.
    "Pretty much the same" I said with a bit of a chuckle.
    My hand touched something cold. Finally. Found the milk.
    As I was about to open the door I could see my reflection in the rectangle shaped window of the cooler.
    I wasn't entirely sure how to react nor was I sure as to what happened. I was looking. At myself. In a mirror. For the first time in two years.
    I started shaking and I could feel warmth and moisture filling my eyes.
    I noticed writing on the reflection itself. I was so excited I hadn't even noticed. In fact, most of the interior was covered in this writing. Looked a little closed at the message written in black.
    Don't tell them you can see.
    What the hell does that mean? Who's them?
    I then caught a glimpse of the individual standing behind the counter of the store.
    Who...what the fuck is that...
    "John? You need some help buddy?" it asked. It had Dave's voice, but it definitely wasn't Dave. And the way it's mouth moved was...
    Wait, is that it's mouth? I have no idea.
    I was staring at something that was at least 6 feet tall. Grotesque and eldritch was the only way I could describe it. It's dark brown skin was smooth and moist with extremely tiny openings in its skin. It wasn't wearing any type of clothing. It's arms were somewhat long and thin looking appendages that ended in human looking hands. Its head was shaped like a large Basket Ball. The creatures mouth looked to be in a vertical position and when it spoke I could see many layers and rows of crocodile like teeth.
    "Here John, let me come help." It said. Its voice had changed as well. It was gurgled and sounded like it was being put through a filter.
    As it moved I could hear it squish against the floor. That's the first time I've ever heard that. Why am I hearing that just now? Why have I never heard that before?
    Instead of gaping at the reflection and trying to ascertain how it walks, I simply stared at a jug of milk.
    That's when I noticed the color of the milk. It wasn't white or brown or any color a milk should be. It was dark black.
    As the creature grew closer a foul smell harassed my nostrils. It took everything I had not to vomit.
    It reached out with it's human like appendage and touched my shoulder.
    My entire body tensed up.
    "We're having a lot of different specials on milk today." It said and I could see its mouth open wide behind my head with what I assumed was a smile.....

    There's a subreddit called "writing prompts" where users post an interesting happening and others try to complete the story in the comments. This is one of my favorite ones, i would like to introduce you folks to "https://www.reddit.com/r/WritingPrompts/"

    As for the above post, it's not my work and i carry no credit.

    The answers seem fairly reasonable given that he was in the clan for 2 years and, therefore, you already know him. He also answered the question in his app as to why he would want to join given that he dislikes the leadership. His friends want him to join back, and he wants to play with his friends.

    Glaucon24 reacted to Mycatweed in What I have just learnt about Vorkath from the cc is pretty disappointing   
    Right so to start off this story I was looking through the slayer musiq quest order and procrastinating over questing for barrows gloves but then I saw ds2 and decided to watch the guide..... ofc I only wanted to see vorkath at the end but to my surprise some other dragon was there! And so I popped onto the cc to ask at what point is vorkath in the quest and I found out he was just a failed experiment!! Then it dawned on me ... you all are doing daily Vorkath runs and bc he’s a failure you can easily kill him however , I just needed to express my feelings on how horrible you are to him. Day in day out he’s getting killed and he’s already a failure so how do you think that makes him feel? Yea he’s obviously very upset most of the time and yet you still kill him. Honestly I think you should all go on strike against those people who hurt vorkaths feelings all the time bc he needs someone to be kind to him.

    Thank you for all of the comments.
     
    I have a question for the leaders. After my application is accepted or denied, will I have the freedom to modify my application in order to remove somewhat personal details, for privacy reasons? Or, will I be required to keep the application in the state that it is in, for documentation purposes?
     
    Perhaps, if I could see a mock application by Mojo or another leader, I would be able to see the precise level of detail considered high effort for applications. I would then be able to modify my application accordingly. And, if the details in the mock application are true, the mock application would help grow trust between the clan administration and the applicant who is asked for this personal information.
     
    Looking at other accepted applications in order to determine adequate detail for acceptance is confusing in the following way. I considered my original draft of my application to be as detailed, if not more so, than some other accepted applications (which I would rather not call out if I can avoid it- due to rule: show courtesy at all times). However, my original application, before editing, was considered "pretty low effort app mate." This is confusing to me. Perhaps, if I could see an application from one of the leaders themselves, this would clear up my confusion and help me prepare a better application for Wilderness Guardians.
     
    Thank you for taking the time to read my concerns. I appreciate it.

    Tell us about your RuneScape account and history.
     
     
    My name is a reference to Glaucon from Plato's Republic (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_(Plato) and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glaucon
     
    I enjoy killing things and making money. But I am actually first and foremost a quester. I completed all the quests on RS3 before I quit (up to Sliske's Endgame) and have completed all quests currently out on OSRS.
     
    I am not that rich. Most of my account money comes from money I swapped from RS3 via Oakdice (swapping is legal). I swapped money from RS3 to OSRS when I quit RS3. I went from 70-99 prayer by killing 20,000 ensouled giants over the course of a few months or so, back when my account was relatively low-level compared to where it is now.
     
     
    Tell us about your clan history.
    DarkScape- Semper Fi, Wilderness Guardians.
    RS3- DarkWorldOrder, DarkWorldRepublic.
    RS3 Warbands- Pk fc.

    How did you hear about us?  Former DarkScape member.
    What makes you want to join us? The clan's commitment to strong moral values makes me want to join. I originally joined during DarkScape after WG lost a lot of people due to standing for their moral values. I heard that WG lost a lot of prominent members due to this and was impressed that WG stuck to its moral principles anyway. Now that DarkScape is gone and I finally quit RS3, I have trained up my account to a combat level that meets your PvM and PvP requirements.
     
    Do you agree to the rules and requirements of WG and understand that this is an honour clan? Yes
     
    Come clean about anything that may deter us from accepting you: None.
