Me, runescape, and the runescape clan world.

The start: Hello everybody in this blog i'd try to tell my story of how i came to be a runescape player and later a part of the runescape clans communities.My name is Konstantin Mihov.I currently reside in Bulgaria in the beatefull sea city Varna.I am the average normal guy in life.I got job that keeps me going in life and good girlfriend.I never had anything in mind about how my life would turn when i am 20,25 or 30+ years old.So i was just living for the sake of enjoying life without thinking much for the future.My children years were quite harsh on me, i never knew what fun is or what joy is much, because i didn't had too much of it.You might say my life started to be more interesting when i found one of the girls that finally made up atleast 50% of my expectations of what girl i like should be.I was 18 years old at that time.For year or so i can say i was happy.I didn't had much cash income or anything else fantastic happening in my life, but i was feeling loved.That's what matters the most to any person i think?Year later i was called to serve in my country army.It was hard and ugly stuff i despised it from the bottom of my soul and i must say that if it weren't for the 2days rest they gave me every week to go back home and meet my gf i'd be dead inside.She brought much light to my dark days and i am very thankfull to her for that.But enough about my person time to jump to the second chapter.
How i found Runescape: One day when i was free i went to inet caffe and while browsing a game site for multiplayer online rpgs one particular game caught my eye.The name was(yea you can guess easy) Runescape.I went to www.runescape.com to check it out, i had to create account and i didn't had much time left so i abandoned the idea, but the site stood in my mind.One day when i finally got home from serving the army i decided to try it for real.I went in and made the account named Grozen55 in translation on my language bulgarian this means"Ugly55".Why did i created such name would you ask?Well personally after i reached 18 years old i was getting so much girl attention that it was starting to anoy me.I couldn't go out peacefully in a bar or caffe without something happening or "old school girl" bumping into me and trying to kiss me.I decided that my i-net personality should fool the rest of the world that in real life i am ugly person so that they would leave me alone to discover the world of mmorpg games in peace.I also think that theres nothing like a real life picture suprize like the one i can give.Imagine someone getting atached to you despite this name he/she has already accepted that you might be the ugliest person in the world, but someday when you finally decide to show your picture or show yourself on a webcam it turns out that you are a good looking decent guy, imagine the look on their face.I'd love to see that hehe.That pretty much sums up my reasons behind this name.
The other world: After creating account on runescape i found that the game could be quite addicting because you could do basically everything from fishing, to smithing various items and slowly but for sure i got addicted to it big time.It became big part of my real life and soon i was playing 6-7hours a day without even noticing that.I soon became an average runescape player began to uderstand the game quite clearly.By this time runescape was still in classic version so i was able to advance quite fast.Yes sadly todays runescape2 offers you much slower leveling experience.This is the time i discovered that its great to communicate with other people online on a game.I began making my first friends.By that time i was finally able to mine good ores and smith steel.I was level 50 combat and i was able to afford and wear the best items for the free to play version which were rune items.My first friends came to be greedy bastards sadly.All they wanted was to leech free stuff of me and stick their sword in my back when i was on low health in the wilderness where other players could kill you.I had to dump many of those fake friends.After couple more months i found a good and trusting guy named Kallhimbob.He was the first guy that never betrayed my trust.Our friendship started with me giving him rune pick to mine a blurite ore for a quest.He returned it and i was quite happy that there are honest people in this game.Since then we began doing everything together and had lots of fun.But he was with very bad inet conection and that was affecting his play.One day he just didn't loged in and i became alone again.
The runescape clan world: One day when i was browsing google about runescape i found that theres something called clans on runescape(group of people playing the game together and helping eachother).Then i decided that i'd want to join one good clan that would suit my personality.I searched many clans but most of them had bad names that didn't catch my eye and didn't had the feeling of community around them.So i just continued leveling my character and searching more.One day when i was browsing in google i came to this doublevision clan.I thought then the name is weird and funny so i checked it out.I found the clan interesting and close to what i was looking for so i posted request to join and i was accepted quite fast because at that time i was level89 and i had 84mining which was pretty elite for runescape character.Double vision soon filled the empty hole in my runescape life and added many great friends to me.I slowly got very atached to the clan and it became like online familly to me.Love was everywhere and despite many many bad moments all ppl took great care in me and the good moments prevailed.Slowly i advanced among the many ranks in double vision and it became something sacred to me.Year or so later i was crowned leader along with a good friend of mine Elleandca.We started improving the clan and we did put many of our ideas into it.Many many people loved them, but many argued with us for them aswell.Because i was the most active leader i was always the first to be critized for any actions because the rest of the leaders besides elleandca were hardly doing much job.We improved the clan to be a huge community with 300people in its peak if i recall.The clans name became a force in runescape and later runescape2.We were recognized by many and hated by many other clans.Afcorse we never reached the goal to be one of the best top runescape clans but we were on our way.Somewhere in the middle of my leadership i got in fights with various people for some of my ideas.I won't hide it many of them began to hate me for those ideas and because i was trying to enforce a good community without flaming abusive content and scamers cheaters.I had no mercy for those kinds of people which earned me many enemies.They still hate me btw haha funny isn't it?My enemies in the clan became so many that soon half of the clan was fighting the other half over topics for me.Nonetheless at one point the main adminstrator called Mrbarby tryed to help many times and made some improvements for the moment, but in the end my enemies influenced him so much he was always agreeing with them.One day he just removed our superb forums and everyone and switched to some other boards.This was done without informing me and considering that i have been deleted by mistakes before my statement was i'd never return to the clan if i am removed again.Well i was removed.I was shocked and sad.All my bonds with the clan were cut.Nonetheless all active members in the clan were shocked aswell and many quit it with me and wanted me to create a clan and lead them.But i thought that i can't do such thing and instead i decided to look for a new home.By that time i found TDM and i went there dragging alot double vision members who followed me there.Kinda the same story here.I spent around 1year there and soon i began to get recognized as a hard working fellow who care alot for the clan.I gained many friends and i advanced in many ranks.One thing i never got used was the g rated community they had.It was forbbiden to say hell, shit or damn there or lmao in the irc.I had some fights with them over that.Nonetheless one day i made some mistakes and i was booted from the clan for which i am sorry heres what exactly happened from my interview about this:Heres interview i gave for my ex-clan dv.

"Interview from Angelsdust:
1. Do you remember what cmb level you where when you first joined DV?

89lvl with 84 mining

2. What cmb level where you when you got kicked/quit DV.

Hmm that's hard i think i was around 116-117 not sure by the time elleandca was 123

3. Did DV help in anyway to get your cmb level/other stats high?


Well yea you see i never really enjoyed combat i despised it alot first i wanted to be only a miner but after i got killed multiple times with rune ores i decided i need to lvl up to 100, after that well i rose up to be somewhat weekly pk leader and then council and after couple lost wars i decided that if i want to help dv the best i should raise combat as much as i can.

4. How did you get kicked out of TDM?


Well you see it all started back when pkers started leaving tdm clan after we won awesome victory against MOD(masters of dragons), no one knew why but we lost couple of them maybe due to admins not being able to understand their need for more wars, and since i was pk council it was my job to improve things, after pkers left tdm trips became worse and worse with the time and i kept alerting
the admins that
if they don't take the situation in hands soon things will look like in my ex clan dv(pkers left created ds etc.) and tdm will fall to being just ordinary clan, well since i was insisting too much i went in kinda big battle with them what should be improved i also lost my senior rank because i said the word hell 3 times and one day my sig contained a sad suicide message that wasn't hurting anyone
nonetheless it was found offensive on their site
then one day the big shit happened.
our morale at pking was at its very end in friday 13may we went out pking as usuall i receive a call for help from tdm member Bomber313 he told me theres a clan at gds, i was leading the trip and i told everyone theres a clan at gds(at that moment everyone could have left if they were scared) after i told them that i ran asap because its in my nature to save a clan member as soon as i can they all ran with me and we all died
later we found Bomber313 in edge skulled escaped from battle -.-
but the big topic was:
its all groz fault for losing our full runes on the trip
ppl were bsing me all around forums rs and irc
even ppl from tdm i took as best friends
and even admins

few mature pk leaders said to me its ok mate its not your fault they quit tdm when i got banned and deleted
the trip was the first reson
the second was when everyone got me out of my head and i told them to go to hell because they are being immature
that was 2nd
they have strict rules for abusing meh
the 3rd reason was
I went to edit all pk threads and i deleted all trips that have happened long ago
they told me i deleted their whole forum while i never touched it and since i was a wildy council i had the full rights to edit that section in the way i want to
in their rules nothing was mentioned about that you gonna get in trouble if you delete threads
that was the third and final reason i got banned and deleted 30mins after that trip happened and by the time i was gonna repost edited threads

5. Did Bomber313 take your side and say you didn't mean for everyone to die?

Nope he didn't do anything to help me actually he just said thx in pm on rs and that was all his thanks...

6. How much Runescape cash have you used in the last few years for these clans?

As stated in my clan history 45m+

7. Does having your own clan, make every thing easier for you?

Yea i finally feel that when i woke up i won't find all my work ruined and it makes slowly my dream to make one of the most successfull clans on rs and i know i am definately going to get somewhere with solar angels.(not without the help from my old friends in dv and cw )

8. I've seen this guy in your sig, you had him a few years ago when i joined DV. Who is he?

it was sig a member of the active dv once made for me i remember elleandca payed 250k for it cuz at that time i had very stupid sig and she was being sorry for me lol

9. What's your favourate RS skill?

After so many years of despising and spiting at runecrafting i can definately say RUNECRAFTING ftw!

10. Anything else you want to add?

Yea i wish dv to become what it was under the present leaders because i think united they can do it."
Well that pretty much sums up my life there.After i got booted i decided i should start my own clan because i felt i finally have the needed experience to do it.
Solar Angels: On 13 may i started the clan the boards with few close friends.The community soon began to grow and today we are enjoying one great clan.
We have created new boards on our new host: www.solar-angels.net
