 IRC Nickname: [JC] Group: Emeritus Posts: 3320 Member No.: 23 Joined: December 30, 2007 Total Events Attended: 147 | 1. When did you first hear about WG? Mid to late 2006. 2. What made you decide to join WG in the end? I joined Wg because one of my good friends at the time, Valdremia, was a council member. He encouraged me to register here an Intro, and though there was a couple of months between me introing and joining it was the friendly 'community' that made me join in the end. 3. What about WG made you choose it over other clans and what stood out the most? I never really looked at any other clans in all honesty.... 4. How long did you know of us before deciding to join? Probably 6 months before intro'ing, and another 2-3 months after I intro'd I finally posted my app. 5. Was there anything that made you less keen to join WG? The application process was really stringent when I joined, however there was never really any doubt wether I was going to join WG or not. I'm sorry I'm not much help with this, I never looked at anywhere other than WG --------------------  Old awards wat Most Mature & Most Honourable Most Dedicated|IRC Freak|Best Emeritus Placeholder lolz |

| IRC Nickname: His Lordship Group: Founder Posts: 6029 Member No.: 1 Joined: December 26, 2007 Total Events Attended: 129 | I'm just changed the question slightly... What I was looking for when I asked "What made you join WG", I meant... what recruitment method caught you. If it was a friend or a topic or whatever... friendly atmosphere and all that is great, but I need to know how WG got to you. I have now modified the question to "What made you look into us?" -------------------- |

What made you decide to research/look into WG? My friends quit RS so I decided I'd try out for a clan to see how it was like 3. What about WG made you choose it over other clans and what stood out the most? It was really the first clan I considered. It seemed like a good clan, and when I decided to join a clan it just seemed to stick to the back of my mind. 4. How long did you know of us before deciding to join? Couple of years. I knew WG existed but I never really decided to join a clan till my friends quit. 5. Was there anything that made you less keen to join WG? The fact that there were alot of tightly knit groups. In the begining as a trial, I sort of felt left out. -------------------- bto  Ex-WG Warlord  "It is our direction, not our intentions, that lead us to our destinations." |

When i wanted to join cmb reqs raised from 100 to 105/107 cmb, i was really angry because i was 98 cmb (so it took me 2 month more till i joined) --------------------  |

| IRC Nickname: Group: Guests Posts: Member No.: 0 Joined: January 1, 1970 Total Events Attended: 1 | 1. When did you first hear about WG? Early August or Late July 2005. 2. What made you decide to research/look into WG? Someone saw me smithing in Varrock and told me about how their clan was WG and how I should join the junior clan DG. I told my friend about this and he looked into it and joined because of the size of it. I then followed him about a week later when I got my fishing up high enough to get in on skill requirements. 3. What about WG made you choose it over other clans and what stood out the most? Size and my friend joining. Forum activity also didn't hurt. 4. How long did you know of us before deciding to join? A few weeks. 5. Was there anything that made you less keen to join WG? No not really. I was pretty ignorant to the clan world and didn't know how many other large options there were. Had I known I likely wouldn't have chosen WG. Another thing to note. I loved the old application system where you filled in a form and it went straight to Lordship. I don't know why but it was cool. -------------------- |

 IRC Nickname: Cam Group: Ex-Member Posts: 749 Member No.: 24 Joined: December 30, 2007 Total Events Attended: 69 | 1. When did you first hear about WG? - In around the summer of '06, I was previously in phobia, which was the junior clan to fear. WG and Fear had been allied for quite some while, i had been on a few pk trips with you guys and liked it very much. 2. What made you decide to research/look into WG? - In all honesty, it was the clan website, surfing through the pictures that where there got me excited, and i wanted to be apart of it. 3. What about WG made you choose it over other clans and what stood out the most? - The fact that i had already had a taste of what WG was, and that thrilled me. 4. How long did you know of us before deciding to join? - I would say around four months, as much as i liked WG i wasnt about to clan hop. Then after recent 'disputes' with another phobia member, i left, and after getting 100 combat i appled straight away. 5. Was there anything that made you less keen to join WG? - When i first applied, i loved getting replys to my application, however the one man i wanted to post on my application was His Lordship, it helps out tremendously if a member of high status within the clan posts on your intro / app. --------------------  Halo 3 - General Grade 3 ~ CoD4 - 10th Prestige 55 ~ MW2 - 9th Prestige 50 Joined WG 8th August 2006 - Im old School son |

I always thought the morals of this clan were really cool and a rare thing in clans. 4. How long did you know of us before deciding to join? About a year. I was in another clan at the time. I joined WG after I left that one. 5. Was there anything that made you less keen to join WG? No. --------------------  Proud WG member from January 2006 - Fall 2009 |

 IRC Nickname: Tnuac Group: Emeritus Posts: 1806 Member No.: 51 Joined: December 30, 2007 Total Events Attended: 58 | Joined April 22nd 2006 1. When did you first hear about WG? Crikey lol. Uhh, must've been around summer 2004, maybe slightly later. Got word of it through the federation I think. I was only level 80ish at the time. 2. What made you decide to research/look into WG? I could spend a long time on this, so I'll keep it simple. Basically, once my clan had folded (well, split into 2 sides and I had to write a 1600 statement trying to unite them, and failed), I decided to break free of it. WG is the next step. However, it was around November 2005 I was looking to WG as a potential ally and tried to see if our clan fit the requirements. I went into the IRC for that. I also used the s10 forums once, to ask if it was wg that killed me in the wilderness =p 3. What about WG made you choose it over other clans and what stood out the most? The clan site got me absolutely hooked. With its inspiring music, magnificant events, great community, and very mystic feel, I was very keen to join. Oh yeah and the ARPKing of course, as it had inspired me to help convert my old clan to ARPK. Plus, there were people more my level (me and feras raced to 100 combat previously, and were far above everyone else in our clan) 4. How long did you know of us before deciding to join? Doing the math, around 1-2 years (very vauge because I can't remember where I first heard of WG). I actually had to wait a few days because the phpbb forums had just been set up, and I was the first to apply. 5. Was there anything that made you less keen to join WG? Not really. But the initial 'magic' of the clan did lose its touch when I joined the IRC and it was a bit unwelcoming, and just generally not the side of the clan that's portrayed on the website. -------------------- ~Aetas: carpe diem quam minimum credula postero~ "Seize the day and place no trust in tomorrow"  |

| IRC Nickname: Group: Guests Posts: Member No.: 0 Joined: January 1, 1970 Total Events Attended: 1 | 1. When did you first hear about WG? -I heard about WG in the Shadow elves channel lol. I was an intro to SE and they were talking about how much they disliked WG, so I thought I would look at why they didn't like WG. 2. What made you decide to research/look into WG? -Everyone thought this clan was one of the most "interesting" clans and I looked at nearly all the main clans and WG was one of them. Many people think of WG as being full of strange people, but even though some ppl told me to go to other clans with them I decided to come to WG, and I am glad I did. 3. What about WG made you choose it over other clans and what stood out the most? -It was the dedication the people had to the clan that made me think it would be the perfect clan for me 4. How long did you know of us before deciding to join? -Around 2 days before I joinedI talked to Randy (just pmed a random op in the lobby) and asked him about a hundred questions and he was very helpful at explaining what kind of clan WG is. He was more friendly than a lot of the other clans ranks I asked about their clans. 5. Was there anything that made you less keen to join WG? -Yes, I have a ton of friends outside of WG with mains in other top 10 clans. They all said that WG was full of crazy members. Many people tried to stop me from joining they thought I was crazy for joining a clan that wasn't normal compared to the rest. Normality isn't for me though I like it when it is interesting.  -------------------- |

When did you first hear about WG? 3-4 years back, liked the anti-rpk idea. Couldent meet reqs so started own one in the meantime. Really funny story linked with that lol - while we were pking i was talking about how i admired wg, a few minutes later you came rushing in and owned us all l0l a totally random coincidence.

| IRC Nickname: Group: Guests Posts: Member No.: 0 Joined: January 1, 1970 Total Events Attended: 1 | 1. When did you first hear about WG? About a little over 1 year ago, didn't really think about joining until watching that flash vid. 2. What made you decide to research/look into WG? I had heard a ton about you guys and had just left my clan at the time. I decided to look you guys up. 3. What about WG made you choose it over other clans and what stood out the most? What stood out the most is that you guys are unique to say the least. I have never seen any other clan that puts as much into recruitment as you guys do. Plus you do things that no other clan does (ie going to Jagex Hq irl, haha). You guys seem to be the complete clan, not focusing too much on wars, or too much on skills, just right. Plus, after speaking with some of the members, this clan has a great community, better than most other clans if not all. 4. How long did you know of us before deciding to join? Over 1 year, just heard stuff about you guys. 5. Was there anything that made you less keen to join WG? Yes, difficulties with registering on forums, haha, ergo it took me 1 year to finally be able to even apply to WG. But pretty sure that it's been fixed now. Other than that, there really isn't much else that can be negative about this clan. Some people might find the application process a bit tedious though. -------------------- |

| IRC Nickname: Group: Elite Guardian Posts: 7306 Member No.: 47 Joined: December 30, 2007 Total Events Attended: 343 | 1. When did you first hear about WG? When Ranma joined. 2. What made you decide to research/look into WG? I was clanless and I was curious what happened to Ranma, later Valdremia basically lured me. 3. What about WG made you choose it over other clans and what stood out the most? The honor philosophy and protection of the innocent, something I personally felt strongly about since I was a dragon slayer; that's what Vald lured me on he basically asked me questions until I agreed. 4. How long did you know of us before deciding to join? Since Ranma was around, not sure how long that is exactly. 5. Was there anything that made you less keen to join WG? Being flamed by all the old school members of WG who were for the most part ex-members or inactive when I was an intro and trial guardian. -------------------- July 5, 2007 - June 27, 2011 |
