His Lordship

Hi everyone,
 
Looks like I'll be annoying you with plenty of posts in the forseeable future.
This is actually my first time on these forums, so I'm keen to see if there are any familiar faces.
It also appears that Mojo was kind enough to assign me leader rank, though I assure you I won't be leading in any capacity (this may change in a few months).
 
For those of you I haven't yet had the pleasure of meeting, I'm His Lordship, former leader of the Wilderness Guardians.
 
A brief timeline:
Started Runescape in August 2003 Founded WG in December 2003 Led WG until about 2013 Remained in regular contact with WG until about 2016  
Some basic player info:
I used to be well known as a video-maker. I'd love to start again. I *may* still hold the record of being the longest serving clan leader in Runescape Australia is my current home. I lived in the UK for four years (2012-2016) I've met at least 40 clan members around the world I was not as good a leader as Mojo is. If you were unlucky enough to be under my tyranny, I had regular temper tantrums and poorly thought out decisions. I will be starting up on OSRS. I dislike RS3 but I tried my best to get into it... I just couldn't  
Some real life info:
I'm a musician. Specifically I'm a classically trained composer. I teach piano full time I have a boyfriend (I'm bi), and he lives in Bali. He'll be moving to Australia sometime next year. I travel a lot. Not including trips to Bali to see my partner I usually take three or four overseas trips a year. I'm a dedicated bodybuilder and I'm at the gym six days a week Random interests of mine including LARP, scuba diving, medieval cooking, fantasy novels and cross-country hiking.  
I'm so excited to get to know everyone again. I grew up with this clan and it'll be part of me for as long as I live. I'm looking forward to a treasure trove of new memories.

Oh man... you summed it up really well Mojo.
A few things.
 
I agree with your belief that it was our ability to adapt and try new things that let us live this whole time. Runescape changed a lot, and we really had to work hard to keep up. I also think it was sheer luck. Between you and me, we had two leaders who persevered. It really wasn't easy and not many people had the tenacity to stick things through. That's where your second point is especially relevant... we had beliefs worth fighting for, and that motivated us to keep going through the hard times. Finally. I think the real life meetings were critical in keeping us alive. We stopped being a game and started really becoming a community.
 
Also... wow at the Tmal screenshot. I don't remember it being that intense either.
 
Third, thanks for the compliments everyone. Narrating this video took a while because I had a very dry mouth haha.
