Clan News - August 2019
« on: September 01, 2019, 06:47:06 »

Welcome to the Clan News for August, 2019!


Old School!
Old School Runescape is a beloved game to a lot of players.  Too many, it is considered Runescape in its prime.  Anywhere from 70 to 90 thousand people are playing at any given time and makes up more than 75% of the active Runescape playerbase.  It set the tone for the game we love today and is one that many others still play to this day.  Consentus realizes this as we continue to branch out and offer a home to the large community that is Old School Runescape. 

The Old School side of Consentus has undergone some very significant changes.  A lot of effort was given to improve the quality of life for our members.  Ultimately we decided the best way to do this was to start from scratch again and recreate a Consentus by Old School players, for Old School players.

Among the many changes made, arguably the most prominent are the changes in leadership.  @Powerless has stepped up to lead the Old School side of our clan in addition to continuing his work for the main game.  He is an exceptionally capable individual with a lot of grit and very little give.  We have a lot of faith in him that he will do the good work needed to help give Consentus a presence in the Old School community.  You're a good person Power, and we look forward to the future of Consentus under your leadership.  You have our full support whenever you need it.


Take a look at all of the changes and give us a bump on the new RSoF thread.  You're also welcome to join our friends chat and say hello!

Chat: Consentus
Homeworld: 352


Happy Anniversary!
Consentus, as you all know, has been around for a while.  Over 8 years in fact.  And this September we will be celebrating 9 years of Consentus!  Both as a clan of Runescape and a community of players looking for a group of people to enjoy their time playing the game they love with.

With such a big occasion soon to be upon us, we have a lot of events and giveaways planned for the big day.  Among those are the Mass Spam event and the Annual Anniversary raffle.  More is to come for the big day on the 18th, so be sure to keep an eye on the Events topic over the next few weeks.


Raids Rage On!
Raids are still going strong!  They fill up every week and that hasn't shown any signs of slowing.  Raids offer another level of challenge in PvM as you can no longer be self-reliant compared to most bosses in the game.  They are designed so that you are forced to work as a team with each person having a specific job to do in order to efficiently take down the boss.  It's a great time but does take some getting used to.  And because of that reason, we offer a How to Beastmaster - Raid School every Sunday and Wednesday evening at 19:30 game time.  Take a look at the thread and ask any questions you have there or in the Raids channel on Discord. 

As always, a BIG shout out to @KGBx and @Hydrogy for their continued work to both host and teach everyone about Raids.  We're very grateful for your dedication to doing this every single week.


Clan BBQ!
On the 17th and 18th of August, @Only Lilly organized a real-life clan gathering at her home.  Lot's friendly faces both new and familiar, good food, and a great night out were shared among clanmates.  Judging by the photos, I have no doubt you all enjoyed yourselves.  Looking forward to next year's and hopefully will be able to see more members from all over take part and create fond memories together. 

I'll even eat a ghost pepper again if I make it

Feel free to take a look at our official Instagram HERE or HERE for pictures of the gathering.


New Forum Members!
We would like to welcome all of our new members to Consentus and its forums.  Thank you for choosing Consentus.  ^^




Member of the Month!
Congratulations to the new Member of the Month, @Ephesia!  You showed a lot of dedication in traveling from Finland to attend the Clan BBQ in August.  It showed us just how much this clan means to you and we hope to see that same care and dedication you've proven to us continue indefinitely for a long time to come.

Thank you and keep being amazing. <3


Events!
We have no shortage of events happening each week both on the forums and in-game so be sure to check them out!  Additionally, we have four set-in-stone events every week which are the Saturday night quiz, weekly capping at the citadel followed by penguins on Sunday, and then finishing off the week in the citadel again for portables on Friday.

Our continuous push to achieve our goal of offering events for everyone everywhere is still being worked on.  But we've been making progress bit by bit in any way we can.  With the introduction of two new members of staff in July who will help us cover more ground each week, this is suddenly becoming more of a reality.  We're finally able to hold sometimes up to 2-3 US/Canada events per week.  Progress is slow but we're patient and willing to wait for the right opportunities to further improve not just the amount of events, but more importantly, the quality of them. 


DID YOU KNOW?
You don't need to be a member of staff in order to host events. Simply speak to a member of staff about your event idea and we'll work with you to help make that event into a reality.

You can see all the events we have to offer over at the Events section of the forums.


Achievements
Congratulations to those who achieved a set goal for the month of August.  Glad to see your hard work paying off!  \:D/

Citadel Resources!
Believe us, we're fully aware that collecting resources in the Citadel is a boring and tedious job.  And doing by yourself only makes it worse.  Don't act like you don't know what we're talking about.  We've all been there.  Do yourself a huge favour and join us on a Sunday afternoon at the citadel.  You'll find a large portion of your fellow members filling their cap, and having a great time.  Then stick around to go on a penguin hunt shortly after!


Pro & Noob of the Month!
Every month we have a Pro & Noob competition.  We track the experience of all our clan members and award the player with the most experience gained that month with the Pro rank and the player with the lowest experience that month is tagged with the Noob title.

August, 2019
  • Pro of the Month: @3141  (189,033,356 xp)
  • Noob of the Month: @Ev1LcH1nCh1L  (251,453 xp)


Month In Review!
Last month we introduced a brand new YouTube channel that is run by @Nikkie.  Among other content, a monthly video looking back on the many events and achievements within the clan will be compiled into a short video to show off to everyone just how active we are on a weekly and daily basis. 

Take a look at August's flashback!



Discord!
A friendly reminder to everyone in Consentus that our Discord server is available to both clan members and guests!

Feel free to drop in the Clan Discord and chat with all your fellow members regardless of what game they're playing!  Now is the perfect time to join!

If anyone needs their Discord rank updated, please let a member of staff know and they will sort it out for you.




Social Media!
We’re committed to continuing our efforts of expanding and increasing our presence on different social media sites.  Be sure to check out our pages if they peak your interest.  Our Facebook page and Instagram are updated on a regular basis thanks to our awesome page admins.

We also have a WhatsApp group for clan members!  If you'd like an invite, please message a member of staff on how you can join.  8)


                    



Newsletter!
If you would like to have anything added to the monthly newsletter that may not be on here, please make sure to let an Owner know and we will try our utmost to implement it if it fits the newsletter.

If you have any ideas that you think would boost the Clan and raise our profile, please let a member of staff know.  We are always pleased that people take their time to help us run this busy and respected Clan.

From Staff
Until next time Consentus, have fun and keep on 'Scaping!  We have a fun month ahead of us planned out and new plans are being made constantly.  We hope you join us in the coming festivities and enjoy yourself.  You, the members, are the reason we continue to do events like this.  This is a big occasion for the clan and this is our way of saying thank you, using more than just words.  It's an exciting time to be apart of Consentus and for those who've just joined, you couldn't have picked a better time! 

See you at the party!

~The Consentus Team <3
