**** you extremely depressing topic... **** YOU!

QUOTE

I really would hate to sit here and send WG into a guilt trip, that's not my goal.
If I didn't post why, people would think i'm leaving for no reason.
To avoid conflict, i'm just posting a nicer version.

Iv'e been in denial.

For a long long time now, I have always known this clan wasn't right for me.
A surprise to most, but it's the truth.
I disagree with a lot of things in Wg, those were obstacles.
Instead of stopping at these obstacles, I tried to change them.
Some of you may have noticed my constant suggestions and ideas.

Wg has changed from when I first joined back in '06
The highlight of my day was to log on and pwn any clan that we found.
There's nothing I enjoy more then warring, I practice every weekend by myself.
Currently, our war attendance has been declining. Some even laugh at wars.
What do I think of this? So be it.
I'm looking for a war clan.
Wg has changed into a money making.. well "clan"
Everyone is more concerned about making money then spending time with friends,
which leads me into my next reason.

Events... hmmm....
I have a great passion for setting up events.
I love doing whacky things.
Believe me, there's nothing more I fear than people not having fun.
But the thing is... people disagree with my beliefs.
Some of my prime events, like the Zombie Survival, which I personally thought was amazing, got the best attendance for a self-made event ever.
Now, if I was to make a "Super Godwars Extreme All-day No Life" contest, the attendance would shit on Zombie Survival.
Why?

QUOTE

Everyone is more concerned about making money then spending time with friends

This doesn't apply to just my events. It's obvious at all of them.

What are we doing about activity? Badges? Has anything worked? No.
I could go on and on, and I have done so already.
That was our weakness, and I knew so.
But is activity really the issue? Hm... I think not.
Laziness.
Laziness by the members for not going to events, and laziness to the (general) leaders for not doing anything.
Like, why are we selling T-shirts... instead of fixing the decling clan?
This bothers me so much, I can't even explain it.

Well.
Shoutouts are stupid.
If you're my friend, you know what I would say.
By leaving Wg, it doesn't make me an enemy.
I still will like to continue all friendships.

The people in Wg are great.
The "clan" system... not so much.

By leaving don't say I should stay and try to help it more.
The fact is, if that's what you think, think about what you've done.
Iv'e done my share. Enjoy it.

Randy, you were in Wg when i first joined, we left at the same time nearly also, i used to like all your event they were good. I never make money, if i avoid events it's too skill or to do irl things.

Good luck with other clans i here Corr is kind of good. Maybe Di?

Good luck Randy. I'll miss you bro.

But I do disagree with one of your points. When you said people's attendance would shit on the Zombie Event's attendance if they went to Godwars instead. I think you're wrong. In fact, we had a weekly Godwars event, which was CANCELED because we always had shit attendance.

But I don't deny that you're right. Our activity is dwindling in some aspects.

I'll see ya later bro, keep in touch.

I see your point. Warring is my favorite thing to do which is what the point of the badges was. There's no pride in wars any more. I personally hate GWD though and anything but warring actually. I hate the whole attitude of I don't need to do it I'm busy skilling/making money which some people even express in this topic. Though anyway, see ya on the flip side Randy, I've always respected you.

Good luck mate. Always an epic friend and a great personality around the IRC/forums/ and even RuneScape. Hope we stay in contact, though I know relationships like this tend to fade when different clans come into play. Go chase your dream.

I agree with many points on your topic Randy, I too am mostly a warring person. I'm sorry I haven't hosted many F2P BH trips as planned, I'm trying to host some on the weekend in my spare time. Anyways best of luck with finding a warring clan, I see a rise in WG coming soon, so maybe you'll be back! Good luck where ever you decide to go mate you're a great member.

Tbh, with the new CWA, I intend on getting a few more PKRI's instead of wars. (There's one I've got for us this Sunday in fact

). Tbh, I think you should stay, and at least give the PKRI this Sunday a go

I'd never choose to go to a GWD trip over your events...

I love you Randy, it's gonna be such a shame to see you go, but I understand your reasoning.
You will always be remembered in WG, especially when I re-host your events (if you allow me

)
Take care mate and i'm sure we will talk in RS in the near future

Stay safe

You were always a great member and we all appreciated that. I remember before you left for camp, you would always snipe the crap out of me in intraclans.

You are a fantastic sniper and a great friend to all of us. I know that many people enjoyed your events. They were the most creative and unique out of all the events WG has probably seen. I loved all the events that you made that I attended, especially the zombie survival. I stair hugged dale 2 times and got away, and got caught by dilz and karl. Teamers. angryhahs.gif.png

Its been great to know you. Its a shame you're leaving, you've always been a great friend.

Pop by every once in a while

P.S - We actually get less turnout to GWD events. Our last mass gwd trip had 3 people 2 weeks in a row, and was canceled. As for matched fights, some dont bother to show up knowing they'll be cut. Also the majority of members have started school.

I understand your reasons. I don't fit into either of those two areas. I am not a war person or a big money maker. I most just socialize and skill on rs. Hope you will come around to say hello.

You're doing alot of good. Making alot of healthy difference like a benchmark. Innovative and full of energy because of it. But if you feel that your innovation needs to be exercised elsewhere, it is your choice that is respected.

The kind of ideas put forth like yours aren't something we'd see everyday in honest truth. Perhaps if you could consider to see it differently somewhat, sometimes we draw strength from seeing things differently from the norm, it is only so when we offer a different perspective in general. And given, if it is a strong perspective, it will live eventually in the right frame. Which, time and event will express itself.

And often, it comes in the form of sincere gratitude of just simple thanks without having to say, but felt.

If you still choose to go, I wish you the best. Know that, you're a creative mind with such tenacity I've seen as more than usual, for wherever you feel to stay with, I'm sure the place will be blessed with all your creativity, sincerity and dedication. You're never un-noticed. Thank you.

P.S. I'm not as active and cannot say much of how much I wish you to stay but I do. However, we all will decide things at one point or another that has its ends at some point. If you do feel that end is there, then I can say nothing more than I wish you the best. But not without, the fact that, I wish you had stayed. ATB there.
