  1. If you are visiting these forums after a long hiatus, some clans has created alt accounts on privates servers due to and not exclusively the neglect of PvP/organized clanning by Jagex. The current private server everyone is currently on is battlescape. If you wish to get started on the server, visit their site and download their client. I have posted a couple of quick start guides to allow you to get started https://www.sharkbrew.com/community/index.php?/forum/468-private-server-guides/ The clans are: og/bp/rage/foe/fi
  2. Brew Cup 2022 - 5v5 Main Tournament The 2022 Brew Cup tournament will only have 1 category; 5v5 restricted gear on max mains.

If this is the case, you must decide if you fight down opts or forfeit the fight. The round starts when the wall drops. "We weren't ready" or "We didn't have prays up" is not a valid excuse.

  3. Hey everyone! We'd like to thank everyone for taking part in this award ceremony. 2021 has definitely been an interesting year for the pure community as we've seen the scales shift between many alliances & rivalries. We took the idea of adding more individual awards because we felt the need to acknowledge our members in this community & not only clans. We look forward to what 2022 brings us & we hope to see you there. Congratulations to all the winners!
  4. Hey, we'd like to congratulate all the winners of Sharkbrew 2021 Main Community awards. 2021 has been a year full of ever changing rivalries & even with the f2p scene not as active as it used to be, you guys showed amazing resilience. Like the pure community, we added more individual awards because it's not only about the clans, it's about the community. Here's to 2022 and we look forward to seeing you there.
  5. Although we encountered a bit of issues throughout the tourny we ended up competing it with no issues. Thanks to all the teams that participated and were willing to continue the tourny even though there was a bit of trouble along the way. Results: Congratulations Team Knockout on your win!
  6. In 2022, in an era of where clanning within both communities has changed drastically, with leaderships, the types of action and starvation. As a platform, we will try our best to create as many community events while providing QoL updates within our systems such as COTM/WCOTM and more. We hope with the the help of our new staff members that we can pump new life into both communities. This year, I want our staff team to be as transparent as possible with you all. In comparison to last year, where mostly some clan leaders tried to warp what was going on within clan leader channels. With that being said, down below are events and structures we hope to update with you with throughout the year. Promotions As you read yesterday, we did our 2022 promotions. I have high hopes for this generation of promotions and what can be done for the rest of the season. We are still seeking 1 Defense Staff members as we will be providing systems for their community. Events Four Tournaments (RSBL, 1 Defense, 5v5, 1v1/2v2 big possibility. ) Two NA Vs EUs (We will be hosting later in the year another NA Vs EU.) PCL or an event of similar nature to encourage activity within our scene Along the way, we will figure out creative ways to provide different kinds of events for both Mains & Pures. We are currently hosting NA Vs EU, which will take place tomorrow. A 1 defense tournament hosted by @Paige@lawibegins next week. Team of the Month Staff and I have solid ideas on how to revamp all the systems and when and in time to return with COTM/WCOTM. We want to release a new system called "Team of the Month." In order to cater to a community that consistently is fighting each other everyday. Their scene is filled with 1 defense and we are happy that their community has been able to create vast action for themselves. We want to encourage it as uch we can. We will release a draft sometime by the ending of the month/beginning of February. COTM/WCOTM A lot of clan leaders have been reached out to by @Lord Ex& other staff members. We will continue our communication. I hope my own schedule will free up after releasing this topic + our public donor list. Main Events We would like to update your community with a preview of some with our new main staff teams by February or March. We had several clan leaders asking for some. But, I didn't have the time to source main clanners. Donator With our scheduling of events, payment of awards, payouts for competitions monthly, and more. We needed to add the role "Donator." Donators will receive: A server role (which will be above Babysitter Role in our server.) Forums Role (this will replace "Respected" on Forums.) Involvement with where their money is being contributed to. (Personal channel with all staff members.) Public Donor List on Discord & Forums. Our Current Donators Abd - overtime with events 200m+ Yoeshua - Provided Server Boosts within our NA server. Which has helped with marketing the server and excited much more people. Shugz - 50m. Pete - 50m. With the donations, Shugz & Pete, I am able to provide payouts to callers for our NA Vs EU event. A separate topic will be posted to recordkeep for the community, where our money is being spent and a list of donators. Thank you to Abd, Youeshua, Shugz, and Pete for their contributions. Sponsors It is vastly important to continue supporting our sponsors. They provide the GP that we use for our events to pay for signatures/graphics, payouts for systems(COTM/WCOTM/etc.), tournaments, and payment for callers. Our new sponsors are people who have strong vouches within the community and most of them I have dealt business with. I am very happy with the type of people we were able to get to support us. FUNDS ARE VERY IMPORTANT FOR INSTANCES SUCH AS ENDING OF THE YEAR AWARDS, WHICH ARE $$$$$ AbdGP As you all may already know him, he has made large donations into our tournaments. To be able to continue running them on the consistent pace that we've been doing these last few months. His prices are very competitive and his team are a experienced bunch. Ultimately. he wants to see the scene thrive in any way he can. BTS Services Great bunch of dudes who provide great fast services. Very personable and reliable platform, I highly advise for you all to make business with them. I have had the pleasure to get know "Max" over the last few months. Seth's Firecape/Infernal Services He has been around for many years. With hard vouches such as Alch and even my best friends have all got their capes from him. Frost Bets He has been a long time sponsor of ours, you guys should check him out whenever you are interesting in placing bets! PartyPeteShop (buy-osrs-gold.) Their team has been around for ten years and they're well organized. They recently donated to us to help us with our events. Their prices are also competitive and you guys should also consider buying gold from Pete! Alex's Shop Very professional team. I have personally sold them a rare RSN, they updated me with every step of the way. If you have ever want to buy an rsn or sell, these are your guys. I hardcore vouch for them. Discord Expansion Dinosaur This role will be awarded to anyone from Pre-Eoc Clanning within the pure community section. We will be releasing a similar concept to the main community sometime in the next month. Dinosaurs currently have their own chat hub. I am very happy with how the Dinosaurs have been actively talking to each other with a lax mentality. I always wanted a section for them and here it is! If you are from the pre-eoc era or before, please be prepared to provide some sort of proof. Nightowl In order to increase activity all around the server, our server usually gets quiet around night hours in EST. For those who already chat at night, they have been awarded this role on Discord. I will be observing users who talk on a nightly basis in EST-hours to receive this role. Throughout the year, we will be adding additional channels to create of more of a community-tightknit vibe than we already have now. Hope you guys will like those updates as they come. Our first updates are already launched, we will add a public donor list
  7. Promotions were well needed for our expansions that we plan to do in 2022. We have big plans in store for you all. I will be releasing these plans this weekend. I have been very happy with our current staff team. They have been excelling in every way possible. With these new additions, we hope(especially me) that it can help alleviate a lot of our tasks. With these Babysitter promotions, we hope to bring back COTM/WCOTM sometime this year. You all will get updates sometime in February for one of these systems. In terms of events, we have planned for plenty and currently have a tournament + NA Vs EU coming up! Thank you to those who applied, we couldn't take in any more Fatality as we want further diverse perspectives. A lot of candidates this time around were great. Counselor @Devin Devin has given his all within the last two years of Sharkbrew. I was retired and I was able to see his dedication to the community and interest. He was actually the person who brought me back to Sharkbrew originally. He has devoted his time to caring about COTM/WCOTM and pushed back on dweebs who have tried to compromise the community in any way. He has the right mindset to be able to one of the next head community managers of Sharkbrew. Also, this will be one of our first pure counselors in a long while! Mediator @Obli When I asked people about Obli, they all said he was enthusiastic person. In my short time being a staff member on his side, he has picked up work with no hesitation. He has hosted multiple community events such as NA Vs EU. His dedication to this community when he has been available have helped our staff team in the long run. I hope to see him get promoted to Counselor in the future! Event Manager @lawi Lawii is someone who I met over the summer and I had the pleasure of getting to know. He helped Shadows and I when we were swamped with Ambassador Work. He is someone everyone can respect because of his dedication and drive for the CWA community. Lawii has been apart of several of our tournaments and provided insight for CWA in a great capacity. He is someone who will do anything it takes to improve activity within our scene. You all will see a lot more from him this year. I can't wait! Gatekeeper @Illegal Illegal has provided input and interest within the community. He was originally tasked with Discord Moderation. But, he has grown interest with providing input in systems such as Discord & Event Creation. He has been able to provide assistance in every area of our systems within the last few months. We hope to see him grow more into this position and you will see more of him on the forums. Well deserved promotion. @True Loyalty We are very appreciative of Mokles. He has provided all the bot work within Discord these last few months. He has provided great ideas with Event Creation. But, unfortunately, his ideas have been too innovative in 2021. We hope to see one of his events to be implemented in 2022. Mokles sincerely cares for this community and has been able to provide clean insight. This is someone who has shown previous interest to help the community, I am happy we finally we were able to give him the position and this promotion! Retired @IMK There is a lot to say about IMK. IMK has been around the clanning communtiy for many years. He is one of the few people I personally trust to hold an unbias mindset + be a source of vast knowledge. IMK in the times we needed him, he demonstrated level-headed decisions and as well played roles in providing insight + dedication in areas such as Clan Clash. We will truly miss him in our staff structure. @Shadows This man came out of nowhere. He hits me up asking me how I was doing and this was when at a time where all clan communications were going through. Shadows offered his extended hand, when I needed it most. Mostly Clan Leaders will recognize his name in this era. Shadows deeply cares for what direction this community goes. Shadows devoted many hours in communications with Clan Leaders and problem solving. Especially in areas of revamp and provided great input on all around the platform. I deeply appreciate you him as a human being. Shadows probably would have had Overseer by now but his IRL is thriving. He will be retiring but he will be around to provide input to the staff. Thank you so much for the hard work you have always provided to our staff team. @Haro The people's friend, someone who cared for the community the direction of where it is going. He provided great help with support within ELO. The times I had pleasure speaking to him, he provided great insight and advice in regards of the community. He has also been around for years and we will also miss him greatly. @Sybren Where to start? I have known Sybren for years. Sybren has been known to be a well-rounded person even on the opposite of a rivalry, you cannot dislike. Sybren has held a staff position for years with us and has provided great knowledge and out of the box ideas that helped us in the long run within our platform. Babysitter Main Clanner Team: Our Main Clanner will assist with insight and assistance within Event Creation, Moderation, System Expansions, and overall help our community to be a better tight knit community. @Molly Whop - PD @smished - PD @Kopites - DF @Lynn Wong- BC We also currently have representation in areas of Rev/Tempest. Pure Clanner Additions: @Paige As you all expected as she has already been promoted on our Discord. Paige and I have had the pleasure to meet each other over the summer. She is one of the most dedicated people that you will ever get to meet. She is someone who has an idea and put it forward. This community will gain from this promotion. She will also provide great insight for the 1 def movement. @Brain Mans has been behind the scenes providing us a lot of insight in areas of PCL + CWA. We are happy with this addition as we need different eyes within our team. @FireBlackAsh Good arounded fella, he will provide insight surrounding the 1 def scene & Legacy. Welcome him with open arms. @Htown Mans will be performing as a Forum Moderator. Please welcome him to the team. As an avid person who reads forums and has shared his opinion over the last year, He will be a good addition for our team! @Wouxi Currently in Team Takeover. He received a hard vouch within our staff team in regards of attitude surrounding reviving the scene!
  8. Congratulations, Pupz! Thank you to those who participated. We had a few team who participated and some couldn't pull to the event. But, nonetheless, action is action and those who wanted to make easy money did! CREDIT FOR SIG: @Dox17 The payout was 500m. The prize breakdown: 350M - Pupz 150M - Fatality Who paid for this tournament: AbdGP - 200M Sharkbrew- 200m Kim- 100m Thank you to AbdGP for contributing to this tournament. What comes next? The event coordinators and myself will be creating discussion around this topic. It is not a surprise or something new that our community has dwindling away, so we will be trying our best to try out new ideas for the PvP Community.
  9. With obvious decline in PvP in OSRS and some clans leaders still trying to weaponize CWA activity in a shrinking pure community, we are discontinuing the current format WCOTM/COTM as it is waste of time. However, @Lord Exhas kept volunteering himself to launch his own version and we are giving him the access and authority to do so. grats to lord ex babysitter promo --------------------------- @FI we will still issue you the sig for Aug win in due time
  10. Sharkbrew P2P 10 vs 10 Tournaments - OldSchool Format and New Meta Format Hosted by @lawi@Kim@Shadows Sponsored by the one and only #abdbrew! Make sure to check Abd#0569 - AbdGP for all your needs. 500M CASH POOL, IT WILL INCREASE IF A LOT OF TEAMS/CLANS SIGN UP!! SPONSORED BY ABDGP.COM Oldschool Format Start Date: September 27 New Meta Format Start Date: 1 Week after Oldschool Final After deciding to delay the Oldschool 20 vs 20 Tournament due to the wilderness circumstances, Sharkbrew has decided to host two 10 vs 10 tournaments with the goal of continuing to promote action for teams and clans. One of these tournaments will follow a similar concept to the 20 vs 20 while the other will have less restrictions. Basic Information Both tournaments will be Single Elimination Brackets and clans will be seeded RANDOMLY. There will be no changes done to the bracket. 3 Rounds: ALL PKRI Matched Opts: 10 vs 10 Friday 6PM EST is the default day chosen for any match where Clan Ambassadors cannot come to an agreement. This is ONLY to be used if both clans have conclusive evidence of not being able to agree on a time and have gone through Sharkbrew Mediation (or if both clan ambassadors agree on this time). Avoiding a match to try and get an Auto-Win will not be tolerated. @lawi@Kim@Shadows will be handling all mediation throughout the event. Feel free to send them a private message during any dispute. Oldschool Format: The following is a list of all items that are DISQUALIFIED. MAKE SURE THAT ALL YOUR PARTICIPATING MEMBERS ARE AWARE. Ballista Elder Maul Kodai Wand Crystal Bow Surge Ring of Suffering (ALL RECOIL) New Staffs Venom Spears Defenders Torture Anguish Occult Tormented Brace Ghrazi Rapier Blade of Saledor Inquisitor Mace Hasta Nightmare Staff Crystal Halberd Toxic Blowpipe Zammy Flames Elder Chaos Robes Granite Maul Infinity Boots Spiked Mannicles Mithril Seeds Vengeance Other NEW CAPES WILL NOT BE BANNED UNLESS EXPLICITLY VOTED ON BY REPRESENTATIVES OF PARTICIPANTS. ALL RECOIL IS BANNED. As I mentioned in the previous topic I made, a special thanks goes to @Wessel for a few extra banned items I included on the list. If you have any suggestions on more items to ban, feel free to tag @lawi@Kim@Shadows on Discord. New Meta Format: The following is a list of all items that are DISQUALIFIED. MAKE SURE THAT ALL YOUR PARTICIPATING MEMBERS ARE AWARE. Spears New Staffs Venom Mithril Seeds Tournament Rules All matches will be best 2 of 3. Ddos will not be taken as a valid excuse for a redo. This is a general rule for the tournament. It is up to individual member's responsibility to secure their internet. TEAMS and CLANS can all participate. No player can represent a Team and a Clan in the same bracket. (Example: Representing Clan A on Oldschool bracket and Team A on New Meta bracket is allowed, but players cannot represent more than 1 team/clan on same bracket.) All accounts must be 1-25 defense with no exceptions. Exceptions to this rule have to be EXPLICITLY ACCEPTED by opposing clan ambassador and one of @lawi@Kim@Shadowsmust be present when the agreement is made. I would highly recommend either doing these on Discord Private Message or Ambassador's Chat (either group everyone into a PM or tag the necessary people in Ambassador's Chat). Opposing clan leader is entitled to reject your request for someone higher than 25 defense. All seeds for this tournament will be decided as mentioned in Basic Information. Clans are required to start their matches on established dates. If one or more members fail to show up at the correct time and a clan has not reached the minimum of 10 opts, the clan must decide to fight down opts while their missing members log in or forfeit the fight. Memberlists for this tournament will be LOCKED 1 DAY BEFORE THE MATCH. Any member that is not found on the memberlist will result in an automatic DQ with NO EXEPTIONS. Clans can only bring members that are not in their memberlist 3 days prior if the change is EXPLICITLY SEEN by opposing clan ambassador and one of @lawi@Kim@Shadows are present when the addition is mentioned. I would highly recommend either doing these on Discord Private Message or Ambassador's Chat and tagging everyone you think would need to see it. This can be use for any new applicants or members that could not attend originally. If there is a clan member that uses multiple accounts, make sure to sign them all up to the form. If they use an account that is not on the list YOU ARE RISKING DQ. Members will be allowed to change their names during the interim period, but any changes to usernames must be notified to @lawi@Kim@Shadows BEFORE THE MATCH STARTS. Clans must record the entirety of their fights and provide all evidence of the win. Clans must post their winning topics in the Sharkbrew Aftermath section with the appropriate title ("Sharkbrew 10vs10: Clan A vs Clan B | Oldschool/New Meta Result") Example: (Sharkbrew 10vs10: Clan A vs Clan B | Oldschool 3-0) **DISPUTES** Disputes will be handled in a case-by-case basis. Contact @lawi@Kim@Shadowsfor any disputes. In the presence of a dispute, a clan must record the entirety of their fight, provide media evidence (video time stamps, gifs, and pictures) of their opponent breaking the rules, and provide any additional evidence that they deem necessary for a dispute. Extra Information Sharkbrew TS will be available for clans to use. Because of the upcoming Sharkbrew Tournament Cycles, clans should attempt their best even if down 2-0 (a 2-1 loss will be better than a 3-0 loss for future tournament seeding). Bracket will be made public a few days after sign ups are officially closed. Videos and POVs should all be edited. GIFs and Pictures can be included for future recaps. Some of the information in this topic is subject to change.

  11. Introduction Over the past few months the pure community has continued its drive in a downward spiral. Most of the current clans have used mains at some point in the past year or two. Accounting this summer specifically, the date Shadows and I became active again, Rage and Zenith have had periods of using mains against their foes. Regardless of how or why these mains were present, it is evident that they were used to get an advantage over their opponents. The Sharkbrew Staff Team has been working hard to assist the community as mediators and developed an Ambassador Dispute System that is available to all clans. Although not perfect, it has allowed clan ambassadors to compile and provide evidence of how these mains are used to grab advantageous positions. We are working on a system where Clan Ambassadors can hold each other accountable while we work to provide support to some of the leading figures in our scene. Because of Sharkbrew wanting to be a “Clan First” platform, we held a vote where Zenith and Rage were the only 2 clans to score a positive percentage when allowing all clans to vote in regards to main involvement. Because of this, Sharkbrew opened a dispute for these two clans which were heavily disputed. Evidence for and against both clans was provided by a multitude of clan ambassadors, and after the evidence was provided, Sharkbrew compiled it all to present our decision-making process here. This is also to provide the community with transparency behind the decisions taken for this Dispute Process. We have a tough task as a community to resolve the current main situation that plagues our scene. We want to remind everyone that the people who are responsible for this scene are the clan leaders and ambassadors who continue to have mains on standby for the use of getting an advantage on their foes. Including the abuse of including main clans into the mix for a way in and out. We will always work hard to provide as much support as we can, but fixing our scene is the responsibility of Clan Ambassadors. Be accountable for your actions. Zenith & The Dispute System Results - This Past Weekend Trips & Midweeks (PKRIS) Midweeks (PKRIs.) Zenith has used multiple mains during PKRIs against multiple pure clans including Fatality, Onslaught and Rage. They have sometimes rushed with Apex with their Apex being their own mains as well. This has been happening for over a month during the time, we have mediated the clans. Zenith during a vote, voted on the following question "if PKRIs should be counted as equal as weekends?" voted No. Which exclaims volumes of where they are at with their own usage of mains during the week. Last Weekend Zenith has attempted to hide their mains the best they can, unlike their counterpart. The usage of mains of their own and also collaborating with a main clan to shadow them over the last few weeks. Majority of the pure community already knows this. But as a platform, we have to make the acknowledgement. Rage & The Dispute System Results - This Past Weekend & Midweeks (PKRIS.) Last Weekend As mediators, we have to review every evidence before presenting it to the public on this scale. We acknowledge that the Apex, Foe, and Zenith alliance all teamed on Rage with outside forces(main clan and their personal mains onto Rage.) Rage/Rev & Zenith/Rot fought against each other for quite some time over the past Sunday. Apex has tried to accuse Rage of using mains on them. But, they had every option to exclude themselves from this main infested area. But, chose to stay snipe and include themselves for a good hour of the fight. Catching up to current week's PKRIs I caught up with a BP official and they said that they started off with pures. You will see in a lot of the footage, mains were used across the map with both alliances during a crash-fest. The following day, Apex crashed a clean 1v1 between Rage and Terror all on mains. Alliances During our dispute process, we taken great note of clans trying to sabotage others by bringing their own mains against the clans in question and sniping them while the clans in question already have coats of mains fighting other mains. We acknowledge that both sides of the alliances are sick of the state of the community but we also have to remind the community and its members that this goes far more than just the clans but the additions of the communication between Pures & Mains. If Clan Ambassadors such as Apex's and others want us to take harder actions against clans, they must stop helping people who are also being disputed for the same subject with the usage of mains and forcefully involving themselves in main chaos. The enablement of involving main clans and planning with them will never be the solution of the pure community getting back its on its feet. It will only continue reaching a certain demise that we witnessed back in 2014. (Almost all clans closed.) Although, these pure leaderships wanted to see a scene without mains earlier this summer, it keeps moving away from that goal from their fruition. Penalties Both will be punished for a two week period. Rage Accounting for the alliance against Rage and how they have communicated their actions against them. It is clear that they wanted to abuse the new system into their favor. Rage is forced into a spot to use mains against an actual main clan + pures using mains against them. The loose cannon if a pure clan decides to snipe Rage while they have mass mains, if they expect that these mains may not hit them, they are out of their mind and should involve themselves with the rest of the pure community. Rage will NOT be allowed to take part within the upcoming tournament which was halted due to this difficult situation between the pure community and these two clans. They will remain on a probation period for the time-being. Zenith Accounting for what their collaborations with main clans and their own mains against Fatality, Onslaught, Legacy and co. Our system allowed for these individuals to be able to defend themselves but they went out of their way during PKRIs and last weekend to use their own mains. They will be moved to the banned stage. What this means during this two week period: All Sharkbrew Wilderness topics will be locked with no exceptions. The following segment, or a combination similar to this segment. will be added as the only comment. "Successful Dispute and Failed Probationary Period. This Clan has failed its Probationary Period and is experiencing a 3 Week suspension for using Mains or collaborating with Main Clans to attack other Pure Clans." The clan will not have any points for COTM/WCOTM. Automatic DQ in any ongoing Sharkbrew Community Event or Sharkbrew Tournament. The Clan will not be allowed to participate/sign up for any upcoming Sharkbrew Events or Sharkbrew Tournaments. Clans will have limited representation in Ambassador section What Comes Next I have acknowledged with both alliances to try to work together with the clans in question. Some have not. Some don't want to due to the past shenanigans. Those who are only trying elongate for the community to continue being this way, this current stretch will not allow any sort of growth for their own individual clans. This will not end here if this current Pure Community does not hold each other accountable. Rage's side will continue to communicate with us as they have been without sugarcoating topics. Rage will also be moved to the banned staged if they violate any of the dispute system guidelines. In terms of the Zenith ban, their ban will be reviewed on September 4th, 2021. If this continues in this direction, we will scrap this dispute system and allow the alliances to continue killing themselves. Sharkbrew Thoughts The pure community simply is in shambles. Everyone knows that the community is divided into three parts. Two sides are divided between two separate alliance. The frontmen are Rage/Co & Zenith/Co. The third part is the inclusion of main clans who are in contact with the Pure Community for their own biddings. Throughout my own research and dabbling before taking Overseer, everyone attempted to lie about their involvements with the main clans. Most of the pure clan ranks are involved in group chats with RoT & Rev at this current time. As mediators of the community, all we can do is inform and enforce our systems. It is up to the community to hold their clan ranks accountable for the state of the community and the actions of. The future of the Pure Community will only continue to decline if the narrative keeps changing of who is bad and who isn't. The narrative needs to be centralized on how can the Pure Community be empowered without the involvement of main clans and teams and how to exclude both sides from using mains. Votes by Ranks and reasoning behind the vote:
  12. Award prefixes for Discord names (Thanks to OG Anthony for suggesting this idea) If your clan wins any sharkbrew event(wcotm/cotm/tournaments etc), members of your clan shall receive an award prefix before their name. Be sure to idle in Sharkbrew discord https://discord.gg/zx9nSNq Many thanks to Mokles for creating the discord bot to manage the award prefixes
  13. Recently, a 5v5 Tournament was held and hosted by Oliver, a community member and former SharkBrew staff member. This tournament had a cash payout of 450M (200M from the host and 250M from SharkBrew) and was canceled by the host halfway through for reasons that aren't entirely clear, speculating that it was related to a mute sustained for inappropriate conduct in our Discord. Because of this, they have refused to contribute their portion of the payout that was agreed upon by both the host (Oliver) and the staff at SharkBrew. This type of behavior is a blatant waste of time for our community members that participated directly in the event, and a waste of time on behalf of the staff members here that work to organize events for the community. It creates uncertainty as to how an event is completed and whether or not it's worth your time (and ours) to continue the brackets or dissolve them, which can leave people feeling disappointed or even outright scammed. Because of this, SharkBrew will be picking up some extra slack and offer the entire 450M prize pool directly to make up for the unprofessional behavior of the event host. I would also like to give a personal shoutout to @lawi, a fellow community member and volunteer who stepped in to finish the event on behalf of the participants. Without his help the event likely would have been canceled, so please thank him for his efforts. A sincerest apology to all of our participants. Rest assured that this individual will not be permitted to host events on our platform(s) again in the future. Winners: Fatality - 200M Synergy - 150M KO- 100M DM @Kimfor your winnings.
  14. As the beginning of Summer, we like to always promote staff members to be able to help Sharkbrew with event-making and moderation within our Discord & Forums. These last few weeks, we had plenty of discussion with ambassadors about the type of events that we would like to host for the community this summer. This promotion is to help facilitate events throughout the summer. Congratulations, @Illegal @lawi @Nora @True Loyalty
  15. Kim & Shadow With the latest intentions from Jagex to revamp the wilderness, Kim and Shadows has decided to come out of retirement fully to volunteer their time to assist the community. A lot of you have been engaging with both of my final ranks and I truly appreciate your cooperation and commitment to fulfill the goals of the scene. Kim ~ Overseer Shadows ~ He is holding mediator rank while holding Counselor permissions on discord @Member @Veteran @Kingpin @Retired
  16. Aftermath topics are proof and a record of demonstrating and proving your clan's performance in the game. Clan ranks and members collectively have spent hours creating such topics and we will not tolerate any attempts by (ex-)ranks to tamper with such topics. If you believe that your topic has been altered, feel free to drop a dm to any of our ranks and we will work to sort it out.
  17. Counselor Congratulations to @IMKfor achieving the 2nd highest rank on Sharkbrew. As sharkbrew was founded as a pure community site, IMK had been instrumental as a consultant advising myself and other pure sharkbrew ranks on the inner workings of the main scene and his wealth of experience has allowed us to build community systems that are tailored towards incentivizing activity in the main community. IMK has also proven himself to be sensible when dealing with tough controversial inter-clanning issues, thus we strongly believe that IMK is the perfect candidate to continue to lead the community into the future. IMK is currently the lead role for newly formed clan clash system Mediator @Harois one of our oldest ranks on Sharkbrew, however he has taken a hiatus to focus on IRLs at one point. Recently he has came back and has dedicated his activity towards supporting Pure Community's COTM/WCOTM and moderating on discord. Congratulations on this well deserved promotion Gatekeeper @Dox17has passed his rank trials as a babysitter and is promoted to gatekeeper. He is assisting IMK in the clan clash system We Need More Community Ranks I would like to thank the community for supporting Sharkbrew discord and our sponsors. Unlike other "community" discords, 100% of our sponsorship gp that we receive from our sponsors are earmarked towards community events. Our last community event is quite a while ago and we been accumulating a bit in sponsorship money. We need more ranks who are active within their main/pure scene who can help coordinate regular events. If you feel you are the right person for the job, please apply here: https://www.sharkbrew.com/community/index.php?/forum/220-apply-to-be-a-sharkbrew-rank/
  18. Please kindly note that hacking people's sharkbrew accounts and modifying their accounts is a worthless and pointless gesture that can easily be reverted as this forum have an edit log history and I can undo all your meme edits with a simple query: Furthermore, all personal information such as IP addresses and emails are encrypted meaning that you are not able to yield any useful information from hacked accounts Lastly if we trace these actions back to you, we will ban your sb forum account. Please kindly keep rivalries ingame. thank you
  19. Kim With reference to prior topic I made regarding JCup, I feel that this focus on clans and clan wars from Jagex is an opportunity that clans should not miss out on, thus to help complement our existing rank team, I have asked Kim to help us as a freelancer as she has experience working with the community for almost 6 years. Kim will retain her retired rank, however she would be acting in a capacity of a community manager. We understand there were many mistakes made by sharkbrew and in JCup in community ran events, I respectfully request that should you be contacted. please give your most frank opinion as we absolutely cannot screw up this opportunity. Stay tuned for further announcements on new events that we plan to create so that we are better prepared when JCup arrives!
  20. Clan Clash Finally I managed to squeeze some time out of my schedule to wrap up the highscore table, check it out! https://www.sharkbrew.com/?/league/clans/clanclash All topics will be updated over the coming days Forum Updates I have finally fixed the lazy loading mechanisms for the site, so topics with loads of pictures should not slow down your browser significantly Throughout the next few weeks, when possible, I will be bringing the world tracker and the memberlist up to date
  21. JCUP I believe the rumors about JCup stemmed from a livestream where Jmod Ayiza let known of the interest that Jagex was planning to run a JCup. Personally I wasn't too confident as Jagex had routinely let the clanning community down time after time and the fact that Ayiza just rejoined Jagex. However recent activity in the main CWA scene showed that many members are taking this seriously, thus I decided to ping Jagex Ash on twitter myself and I received a beautiful answer: In light of this confirmation from a senior developer in Jagex, We believe that many clans would probably want to conduct more CWA events to prepare for JCup Sharkbrew will be supporting your efforts by using our sponsorship money to fund more tournaments and activity-based CWA events so that even weaker clans can be rewarded for their contribution towards the overall activity in the CWA community. Stay tuned for more updates!
  22. We are looking to setup another 1-25def clan oriented SharkBrew event. Needing some feedback from clan members/leaders to see what most interests you, as a community. Most discussed event by the end of the weekend will most likely be what we choose to run with. let the discussion begin and let me hear what you guys, as a community, want to do! if you have any in depth suggestions, please pm me or another gatekeeper on Discord.
  23. Promotions Unfortunately I haven't been ontop of making these promotion topics due to IRL obligation, and during such times we have been gone though multiple ranks so here goes: Congratulations to: @Devin- Gatekeeper -> Mediator. Having proven himself as an active and dedicated gatekeeper, he has now taken the lead role in moderating discord and, most recently, is playing an effective role in being a neutral adjudicator in mediating difficult situation @Rag Sets@Obli@UncleRash- Our 3 former babysitters have managed to conduct 2 highly successful tournaments therefore they have met the requirements for gatekeeper. I wish them luck and hope they can progress further up the rank ladder Doxing in Bonfire Unfortunately the amount of doxing has increased in bonfire, which has also dramatically increased the workload on my ranks. Unlike doxes found in campfire where it is very obvious, i.e. an IRL picture/address/full name, the types of doxes that are posted in bonfire are way more tenacious where the IRL information is more subtle- thus my ranks have to go through this charade of fact checking the info before banning. Furthermore we are confronted with this pervasive issue where it seems that doxes are thrown around more deliberately, and upon banning said member, we often have to entertain their concerns and explain why they broke the rules. To sum it up, for each offense that my ranks take action on, we are exhausting almost 30 mins to an hr per offense, and we can expect to even handle upwards of 5 offenses a day. This has taken my ranks away from their other duties to attend to a scene that frankly doesn't benefit the rest of the community as a whole. The final kicker is that banning these activities on bonfire doesn't mitigate or stop doxing as these main community members will just simply pop over to twitter to continue to dox the shit out of each other. Main Community Rank To solve the above problem, I believe we should have further representation from all the main clans that are active in SB that can advise their fellow members on their SB conduct. Currently we have 3 main community ranks: @Eevee - Tempest @IMK- DF @Sybren- Veng @Rag Sets- ez/sv We would like to invite rest of the main community, e.g. Rev/AF/BC/VR/EZ to step forward and apply for a rank https://www.sharkbrew.com/community/index.php?/forum/220-apply-to-be-a-sharkbrew-rank/
  24. Promotions We are glad that we received overwhelming responses from the community after our call for more people to step up to help with moderation and to represent your clan. Congratulations to the following: @Dox17- Rev @Stella- FI @Chris-- VR --------- @Yikes- Unfairgame Singles PKing team If you have not been promoted yet, fear not as we are still going through the apps and there are plenty of clans not being represented in the rank team Discord Clan Role In the spirit of mutual understanding and fair exchange of brand value recognition, clans/teams are required to have a clan group and a clan advertisement topic in order to have a clan role on discord. There are quite a few main clans who do not meet this requirement, so out of fairness to the rest of the clans who took the time to make the group and clan advert topic, we are making this mandatory that all clans and teams have to create their respective groups and advert topic by 10th of april or we will delete your role. If you feel that all this effort is beneath your clan, feel free to mass leave the discord- after all even Jagex also saw fit to demolish your statue so you aint that special anymore
