System looks great! Hopefully the rollout is smooth and it takes off on a pretty positive note.
Congrats to both @Breakand @Yak, well deserved promos. Love you both!

Introduction
COTM/CWL/WCOTM used to be a household name for clans looking to compare their performance and activity in Clan Wars and Wilderness. You can find the origins with (former) sharkbrew rank @Bradenwho came up with the idea of tracking clan wars preps during an era where prep activity had all but collapsed. Thanks to his system, there was a noticeable increase in clan wars activity.
Over the years, we have seen many changes, but the hardest hit so far was the migration of Sharkbrew from IPB3 to IPB4 in 2018. This had rendered all of our systems obsolete, and combined with my increased irl workload, I was not able to code up a replacement... until today:
League System
I have limited the number of dependencies with IPB, therefore we can foresee this system being used for many years to come!
https://www.sharkbrew.com/?/league/clans/cwars
https://www.sharkbrew.com/?/league/clans/wilderness

 
This is a unified system that tracks both clan wars and wilderness. The system is based on weighted point values as shown here:


Clan Wars
This system tracks all preps(20v20+) and fullouts. Unlike previous systems, we award points based on rounds won. The formula goes as follows:
For winners:
points gained: numbers_of_rounds_won * 1.00(winner points) * 3
For the losers
points lost: (total_number_of_rounds - number_of_rounds_won) * -0.75 * 3
To mitigate the effects of a loss, the losing clan will not lose as much points as gained by the winning clan. Also because we are counting rounds won, winning at least 1 round in a 3 round prep can prevent you from losing a lot of points!
Also all preps are capped at 5 rounds to deter point farming.
First to 25/50/100 counts as 1 round.

Wilderness
The goal of tracking wilderness activity ties into Sharkbrew future plans of advertising pure/main community events to the greater public with the help of sharkbrew's twitter account. This system is designed to demonstrate which clans have the most activity. I will post a topic in the future detailing our plans.
There are no winners or losers; every topic(midweek/weekend counts). The higher the opts, the more points your clan will receive!
Midweek: opts/10 * 0.2 * 3
Weekend: opts/10 * 1.50 * 3
When will the system start?
I will be counting all events starting from the 18th of august onwards.
How do I participate?
For now, create a clan group: https://www.sharkbrew.com/community/index.php?/gc/cat/1-runescape-clans/
Then PM me on discord to be added to the system. I am working out kinks to the system.

I’d like to point out that this role isn’t the same as the staff roles. The Advisor role is a partnership role that has no permissions over moderation of the community. It’s here to give clans and their representatives a louder voice in how we shape the community from this point forward.

So, TL;DR some idiot bragging about how he’s a 23 year old degenerate ex-convict with an active felony and no redeemable future, so he plays RuneScape all day?
I bet his mom is real proud of him.

Tuesday, August 13th, 2019; Outrage massed up peaking at around 36 members for our scheduled F2P fight vs Supremacy. We gained a +5 kill lead in the first round and then blew it due to my idiotic calling, we still managed to grab the win by 2 kills. Going into round 2, we had to take our heads out of our asses to ensure victory, we won by 13 kills.
 
Rules;
1 Defence Cap
30v30 Capped
First to 50 (Best out of three)
 

 




 
Round 1;
Outrage Kills: 50 - Supremacy Kills: 48
 
Round 2;
Outrage Kills: 50 - Supremacy Kills: 37

Yes

Riiiiiight, because copying and pasting someone else’s post word for word is a great way to show people what a “waste of time” this is.
The true waste of time was making this topic, and us having to read it.
No.

I’m putting an end to this topic, It’s a literal waste of time. If you didn’t actually feel like filling the role you probably shouldn’t have filled out a topic in this section.  You’ve also managed to show your indecency, lack of maturity, and full blown incompetence to just about everyone in the community as well.

Are you absolutely certain Axis is a good name for a Dutch/Belgium Country Clan, considering your Germanic heritage?
Don’t mind me by the way, just an innocent bystander.

Discussion with Rites via Discord:
 
2:31 AM]Victoria:
Do you have a link to the users profile on Sythe? I couldn’t seem to find it myself browsing their forums.
[2:39 AM]Rites:
https://www.sythe.org/members/johnson.1019112/
[2:39 AM]Victoria:
Thank you
[2:39 AM]Victoria:
You said they made alt’s as well?
[2:39 AM]Rites:
That's their latest reason for being suspended
[2:39 AM]Rites:
https://www.sythe.org/threads/johnson-rsmagicmeister-fake-vouching/
[2:40 AM]Rites:
I'm not sure how he's not been given a DNT on sythe yet tbh
[2:41 AM]Victoria:
Yeah, the current warning is a cautionary warning and it looks like there was a communications rollback plus a temporary suspension instated against the user.
[2:42 AM]Victoria:
Nevertheless, I don’t want our users conducting business with someone who has fake/altered/non reputable references
[2:42 AM]Victoria:
Especially someone who is potentially stealing from consumers
[2:42 AM]Victoria:
As well as artists
[2:42 AM]Rites:
Yeah he's ripped off a lot of work
[2:43 AM]Rites:
including reselling his own
[2:43 AM]Rites:
without telling either customer
[2:43 AM]Victoria:
So reselling commissions he’s already sold without the original purchasers ATA?
[2:44 AM]Rites:
Yeah
[2:44 AM]Victoria:
I’ll do some digging.
[2:44 AM]Rites:
https://www.sythe.org/threads/johnson-ripping-gfx-work/
[2:44 AM]Rites:
https://www.sythe.org/threads/3580767/plagiarism/#post-34925536
[2:44 AM]Victoria:
I’ve locked the topic on the forums and placed a temporary warning on the topic.
[2:44 AM]Rites:
there's more but I think they get hidden after x amount of time
[2:46 AM]Rites:
unfortunately the imgur links are dead too but
[2:47 AM]Rites:
you can see the sythe staff banned/punished him etc
[2:47 AM]Victoria:
Yeah. I can also see the original imgur units being displayed as his work across both topics were deleted at the request of the original host.
[2:48 AM]Rites:
Yeah that was the condition of not being perm banned I believe
[2:48 AM]Rites:
he's been accused of fake vouching and using another person to sell graphics to ban evade too
[2:49 AM]Rites:
but they weren't conclusively proven enough, although the evidence is against him
[2:49 AM]Rites:
https://www.sythe.org/threads/johnson-primenl/#post-37055771
[2:49 AM]Rites:
for example this one
[2:49 AM]Rites:
the other account was only active during johnsons ban
[2:50 AM]Rites:
my friend tried to order from them speaking only dutch as a test and they didnt really know anything about gfx
[2:57 AM]Victoria:
That’s a pretty odd situation to be in isn’t it?
[3:01 AM]Rites:
Hmm?
[3:02 AM]Victoria:
The peddling graphics through another user on the same platform
[3:02 AM]Victoria:
That’s a pretty odd situation to be potentially caught in
[3:02 AM]Victoria:
Because couldn’t that damage another users rep too?
[3:02 AM]Rites:
It's because he got a month ban
[3:03 AM]Rites:
Yeah but the other person hasn't used sythe before or after it really so I doubt they mind
[3:03 AM]Victoria:
Before -or- after?
[3:04 AM]Victoria:
So is there a chance that this is the exact same person under a different ID?
[3:05 AM]Rites:
Possibly but I think it's just a friend that was used to go through for selling
[3:05 AM]Victoria:
I see
[3:07 AM]Rites:
But yeah just something else that seems pretty dodge that he's been linked to

Discussion with Jason (Moderator of Sythe):
 
3:17 AM]Jason:
hello
[3:17 AM]Victoria:
Hey! Jason from Sythe I presume?
[3:17 AM]Jason:
yup
[3:18 AM]Victoria:
I actually had a content creator give me your Discord. Thank you for accepting my friend request. I’m an Administrator of Sharkbrew, and I have a small query about a potential pain point you have experienced on Sythe.
[3:18 AM]Jason:
Sharkbrew as in the pk community site right
[3:18 AM]Victoria:
Yes sir.
[3:19 AM]Jason:
sure thing what did you have in mind
[3:20 AM]Victoria:
So we had a content creator by the name of Rites approach us about a content creator that has been flagged on your website as a cautionary seller. It appears they have migrated to our platform in an attempt to advertise to our user base.
[3:20 AM]Victoria:
https://www.sythe.org/members/johnson.1019112/
[3:20 AM]Victoria:
In regards to this person ^
[3:21 AM]Victoria:
My interest is in protecting my users. I was provided some links as to why this flag has been added, was wondering if there were any non-surface details, any insight you could potentially provide about this person?
[3:22 AM]Jason:
so the user currently has a 'trade with caution' rank for using multiple accounts to post fake feedback on his graphic design marketplace
[3:23 AM]Victoria:
So he’s lying about credentials and references.
[3:23 AM]Jason:
in the past the user was permanently banned for forging evidence when it came to a report on him for plagiarizing other graphic artists work
[3:23 AM]Jason:
but he successfully pardoned on our site for that offence, which is basically a process a permed user goes through for a clean slate
[3:24 AM]Victoria:
Okay. Yeah and that was something that was also brought to my attention that was a bit worrisome. Was that the only instance, or were there past instances of similar misconduct?
[3:25 AM]Jason:
there was a report that accused him of using multiple accounts to have more than 1 thread in the market, but the proof wasn't solid enough
[3:26 AM]Jason:
aside from that i dont think so
[3:26 AM]Jason:
i can link the reports on sythe if youd like
[3:29 AM]Victoria:
I'm assuming it would be these?
[3:29 AM]Victoria:

https://www.sythe.org/threads/johnson-primenl/#post-37055771
[3:29 AM]Victoria:
I had another content creator bring this to my attention a few moments before I reached out to you
[3:29 AM]Jason:
yesi think thats it
[3:30 AM]Victoria:
Okay.
[3:30 AM]Jason:
i dont think the user is a risk to scam customers
[3:30 AM]Jason:
but he consistently is caught with awful business practices
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
