You may have heard of us from the current tournament we are hosting, and while this topic is a shameless plug of my own community site, my intentions are not entirely selfish as I believe Sharkbrew can help increase the activity of both the main and the pure community if we can collaborate together as ever since we hosted the main tournament, I have seen interest within my own rank team on joining a main clan, and vice versa.
 
 
What Is Sharkbrew?
 
Sharkbrew was founded in 2014 as a the de facto pure community site. Over time we have seen some ups and downs but overall our main goal is to increase the activity of the community across the board.
 
We are unique in the sense that we were very hands off on the community, and this has create an active, albeit an extremely toxic environment. Recently we have introduce far stricter moderation and I am glad to say majority of the toxicity has been removed. Regardless, we believe in freedom of expression as long as it doesn't infringe on people's personal rights, and we do not remove dissenting content. Clans are free to post aftermaths if it is reasonably detailed.
 
Another unique aspect about Sharkbrew is its security. User security comes first and we are running on a modified IPB 4.2 forums that protects your password with a stronger hashing mechanism than the out of box version. Additionally, we are the only community site that has an encrypted IP system that one-way encrypts your IP, thus making it impossible for our moderators or admins to see your real IP. Even the site owner(myself) can't see your real IPs even at database level.
 

 
For example, Vitor lives in South America, but thanks to our encryption system, his IP is encrypted and is teleported to
 

If you want to know what your IP looks like on Sharkbrew, feel free to visit this link: https://www.sharkbrew.com/whatsmyip.php
 
Sharkbrew will always be community led. Our rank team is as diverse as a pet shop and our rank team will always be judged based on their merits, not clan affiliation, ethnicity, or gender.
 
 
How does using Sharkbrew benefit me or my clan?
 
Ontop of the current main tournament that is about to conclude later this month, we are pushing for a monthly Clan Of The Month where clans participate in CWA fights. Winner takes all. Cash prizes involved.
 
We also plan to tackle the wilderness aspect by encouraging more wilderness action through the means of cash prizes.
 
We will be launching a betting system where community members can bet virtual Sharkpoint currency on CWA fights, thus hopefully members will motivated to fight harder.
 
Finally, with the points earned, members can represent your clans with pride through mascots bought in our SharkStore that are prepended to their names
 

 
Sharkbrew also has our own 500 slot personal teamspeak that is IP encrypted too. Any teams with members from dif clans wishing to host fights may utilize it.

What is going on with the clan world?

We are all witnessing a decline in the clan world. I'm not going to repeat what others have said already. Ill put it bluntly. Main clanning, sucks terrible ass. Yes, the recent competitions were entertaining, no doubt did they give us that fun and competitiveness; but there has to be more than just that. Enter, WARscape.  

WARScape:

No Bullsh*t on our part, No Work on yours!

 It is a organization, made to create competition within this game. To make it easy, WARscape is designed to feed you the competition!  

[Read the Bold/Underlined to get some idea, if you want to just skim]

Short and Sweet:
I create the competition for you. CWA sucks, Wildy is better, but 10 min of CWA isn't long, and if you're good, you can embarrass clans all Sunday long and be the GOAT. In a few teams? No problem, but no one likes a band wagoner (remember that). Ratings will keep track of your progress, all is fair, equal, competitive, and quick. 

Long Wall of Text Incoming:

If you want the knitty gritty, not so sh*tty information about WARs, then allow me to explain.

I understand there are those, who do not want to maintain hierarchy in CWA. I get it, CWA is chicken sh*t fighting, to some; but i ask you now... Never, Ever confuse short quick skirmishes, with real competitive fighting. This is just the beginning to what can be a long fruitful fall/winter

For starters, it’s only 10 minutes. 2 rounds, each is 5 minutes. So there goes the “I’m not wasting all my time on it”. You are hardly wasting any time, there is no great feat you can accomplish in just 10 minutes, and if you bring up some sex joke; then allow me to respond. 10 minutes to finish with your “loved” one is not a great feat… Seek professional help.

What differentiates this with real competitive play is that, real competitions involve real prizes. These quick-skirmishes however allow us to compete in a friendly, fair play environment. The more action this generates, the more we can focus on bringing in different styles of competitions, and experimenting with different formats

the 1000 ratings that derive from chess, will keep track of how well your clan is doing.

Which do i pick if I'm in multiple? Remember, this when choosing. The team/clan you will represent will be your brand. Would you sport Jordan's while wearing Adidas tracks? Would you support Manchester United, yet still root for Man City? You’re allowed to multi team here, but it’s best if you stick with the one brand. Loyalty does go a long way after all.

Q. What happens if i Win? Lose? or Tie?

A. All clans signed up in"WARscape"  will be given a standard rating (1000). Wins, losses and ties will shift your standard rating. This will allow us to pair you with an appropriate opponent. Think of this like the standard chess ratings. 

 

Q. How much is a win worth? loss? draw?

A. Its not just about the simple win, loss, and draw. It's how you win; How you lose, and How you draw. I determine what is: Average, Sub-par performance, and Excellence.

 

Q. What happens if we slaughter the opponent? (Vice versa)? How many points is that?

A. 

Wins:
Full on control and display of dominance on your opponents will only up your winning score. The basic win will result in 30 points, however, a full on display of control will give you a higher score, that all depends on how many kills your team has to your opponent.

 

Losses:
If you have been victim of a massacre, then your score will only give you a higher negative score. The basic Negative score is -10. 

 

 

Draws:
Draws are a bit tricky to understand. However the basic draw is 0 points. Draws will never fall into negatives. It is possible that both you and your opponent can come away from a draw with points in your hand.
 

Q. How do you determine these results? 

A. By simply watching the unedited film you send me. 

 

Q. What if no video was recorded, but screenshots show the clear victor?

A. Then you will get the basic win/loss/draw points.  30 for a win, 0 for a draw, and -10 for a loss. 

 

Q. What if no wars could be Scheduled by the default format?

A. if no wars could be scheduled for that time, then we will prioritize your clan for the next following week. 

 

Q. How do I get involved?

A. Send your clans details, as well as your current position within the clan, to my email. Feel free to do that here. You can also message me on discord @ Blister#7043

You must have the power to declare wars within your clan. Send me your clans' forums. Reminder, This is for quick skirmishes.

Our Objectives

Wilderness

• Promote Wilderness activities
• Promote healthier Wilderness such as; incentivizing A/Cing and dis-incentivizing Crashing or Long Rag Wars
• Create a firm standard for what constitutes a wilderness win
• Encourage healthy competition by allowing clans to mark fights as "friendly" so weaker clans may obtain practice without the associated stigma of a "loss"

Clan Wars

• Promote CWA events, especially F2P
• Publicize the skills required to compete at highest level of CWA play
• Create a firm standard for interoperable CWA match fights between Meds, Zerks, Tanks & mains
• Encourage healthy competition by allowing clans to mark fights as "friendly" so weaker clans may obtain practice without the associated stigma of a "loss"

Background

After consulting with members of the main community, there is an overall decline in activity in both scenes, especially in CWA with closure of CWA teams/clans. Massed fights between clans seem to have dwindled and wilderness activity appears to be limited to daily rev trips and the occasional rag war between clans that does not contribute the growth of the scene.

What is COTM?

https://www.sharkbrew.com/community/index.php?/topic/44571-main-cotm/

COTM is a recurring tournament system that runs monthly(or every 2 months) where clans post their clan wars aftermath topic on Sharkbrew for points. Towards the end of the tournament period, clans with the top 2 points will slug it out in a finale fight where the winner will be declared. Winners will receive a signature and a sum of RSGP(around 20-50m) for their efforts.

What is WCOTM?

https://www.sharkbrew.com/community/index.php?/topic/44572-main-wcotm/

COTM is a recurring tournament system that runs monthly(or every 2 months) where clans may submit their wilderness aftermath topic on Sharkbrew for points.Towards the end of the tournament period, clans with the most points will receive a signature and a sum of RSGP(around 20-50m) for their efforts.

Who Can Participate and how?

All clans & teams. As long as you have an Ambassador representative on site, we will count all your aftermath topics

Why should my clan participate?

Over the past few years, the overall clanning scene has diminished significantly. Runescape player count as increased, yet official clanning pulls have stagnated. Sharkbrew hopes that these 2 tournament systems will help coalesce clans onto one platform and bring back the same levels of activity from 2013.

These tournament systems has proven effective at giving your clan and member's hype, and has increased activities in the associated areas. It is a absolute metric which you could benchmark your clan/team's performance and a goal you can work towards.

I don't agree with the rules, how do I suggest amendments?

Currently the rules are not set in stone, and the tournaments has not started yet. We welcome any form of suggestion by either replying to the topic or posting a topic in our feedback forums. The rules for these tournaments came from the community and we will strictly adhere to that methodology.

When does it start?

1st October, but we would like for the entire main/med/zerk/tank community to give us feedback on the system before lauch

www.runescapecommunity.com

I want to know what was the war that we all had in 2007 before it turned into 2008 and we did that huge turnout with atleast 500 clans or so?

I remember videoing 2 hours of it and my cuz filmed a few hours of it but I think that data is lost, but I just wanna say I wish I could see that be restored or atleast it be that badass again. I was gonna start a clan back up but it might be a while before I get started

and as a bonus just for being awesome, I did some research on karma and my life and compared DL to D12 many a time and felt like being eminem was part of my life, so much that alot of things in mine and em's life seemed to just clash together, whether it was my irl cuz dying and going to some place called hopefully lumbridge - or the fact that I wanted a story to go with me being a leader of a clan in RS or give it extra meaning. Do things all have coincidences or are they just make believe, I think we're so smart this day and age I really get mad when I see a character from my clan have to use voice chat and ruin their appearance because that text... Has a frequency, please if you ever want to be cool with me again people never ever reveal yourself to a damaging point, like using sounds on RS or using those freaking headsets.

here are some scary gifts:

and of course my favorite f2p war
