April 2014. A crew of bogans and a Brit made a clan with the worst name pure clanning has ever seen. What should’ve been a joke turned into one of 2014-2015’s standout clans, claiming and holding number one matched opts for over half a year. July 2015. After revitalising the lower, mid, and high level pure clan scenes our leaders got tired, they had real lives to lead. Our members didn’t have the direction they needed. We closed. Zerg Unit drifted into memory; but remained in hearts. Now, five years on, besieged by a global pandemic after some wank ate a bat in a Chinese backwater, holed up in our bedrooms as if it were 2014 again, we’re back. We’re xlpc. It’s happening. Same leaders. Same core. Same Zerg Unit. Forty Zerglings attended our prep versus Astro last night - our first event in five years. More will be coming to the next; and you could too. Join our Discord server: https://discord.gg/WqumDxd Idle in our CC: ‘ZergUnit’ Get a team-32 cape. And be ready to do what Zerg Unit does best: save the scene, with style. #ZU2020. Reqs: 70- combat.

can't believe you guys believed that rubbish. Shame on you all.

I remember when @@Soniqs closed Ruin and I was so happy for him because I thought, finally, he'd stop wasting his time with this brown sticky stuff. Alas, I was wrong. Soniqs you're a dear friend, and you're capable of so much more, please get the fuck off of RuneScape.

yo bruh dis drama is tiiiiiiightttt

Yah the getting rid of cancer issue is a bit of a catch 22: we wanna get rid of cancer but can't really because of Jagex's failure to advertise/facilitate growth of clan community so that we have new blood to replace the old. But, maybe if you're lucky enough to get the ear of a J Mod then in tandem y'all could probably solve it.

Your letter is good and it's nice that you're taking steps to create a two-way line of communication with Jagex but I fear it won't be successful. Words only go so far and you're basically asking them to trust your word/take a leap of faith that "we exist... we deserve greater attention... and there's potential for competitive success with our community". I feel you'd have a much greater chance of success if you showcased to Jagex, and the general RS community, the potential you speak of. You guys have the staff and resources, why not host a matched opts tournament with a centralised stream and casters? Twitch is something Jagex is constantly pushing - capitalise on that. I mean, brown sticky stuff, you even offer to do so in your letter. Just fucking do it. Moreover, you speak of strategy and organisation yet how many Jagex employees have clan experience (let alone pure clan experience)? You need to showcase this, not tell them. There are very few clan fight videos with "commentary" -- I'm remiss to call it commentary because it's usually just a fucking tomato cunt who can barely speak -- but that's the sort of thing that'll go a long way to informing them about how clan fight mechanics work and their potential for interesting competitive analysis. It showcases potential. Also, hold in mind that most other successful eSports (LOL, Dota, CSGO, whatever) have a level of professionalism that third-party RuneScape organisations [clans, community sites, etc] lack. I mean, fuck, look at this place; if a J Mod spent longer than five minutes on here he'd leave with a stage four cancer. Why would they ever want to work with this place when there's brown sticky stuff like Zybez around? Also, the previous experiences of interaction between pure community and Jagex has been cancer - think J Cup 2014 aka the fucking mess of clusterfuck. After all, two-way communication is a give and take process involving compromise and constructive dialogue. Thus far they've little reason to trust our [the pure community's] voice. you need to tak ethe first constructive step and showcase why we're deserving of their time. Because, in the end, we're in competition with other entities for the limited resources available at Jagex, and there are others [streamers, YouTube content creators, DMM players] who're far more deserving (currently).
