I'll try to make this simple + gz me on 3k pc. Event FOE's fall-in leader wore an Apex cape in the pkri round when it was 1-1. A DQ & round re-do was offered in favour of Apex, but was rejected by their ranks. Was the system cheated? If a clan uses a loophole to overcome the COTM structure, yes thats cheating COTM. If a clan brings a 39 def or cape switches in a prep, yes thats cheating but not towards the COTM - but instead to the clan. Why cant I dispute on behalf of Apex? Clan wars and wilderness are different. You are bound to come into contact with most if not all clans in wildy, but not in clan wars. If you had nothing to do with the prep why do you feel like you have control over it? You, nor I, can make decisions on behalf of another rank structure. We offered a DQ (much like the one given to PX in the UB tiebreaker). It is then up to the ranks to make a decision and we have to respect that. Its perfectly understandable why someone wouldn't want a DQ win. The only way we can intervene is if the COTM is threatened. If you believe Apex threw the prep (which would threaten COTM), you are most welcome to provide evidence for it in which both clans will be disqualified from this months COTM. #Ambassador

This is confirmed update. All the basic core hooks have been created and is ready for deployment. 12th Oct 1-6AM EST, Sharkbrew will be taken offline. Due to the scale of this upgrade, majority of sharkbrew systems will be taken offline until I finish coding through the features. This includes forum cosmetic upgrades like the sharkwallet, clan hats, etc. All my customer hosted sites will be upgraded in time #Ambassador Memberlist will be offline for 2-3 days after the initial move, so in the meantime, you should consider screenshotting your ml for user/rsn references

Unfortunately I was not able to get group mention working and by extension the anti ipgrabbing system(as they are based in the same hook), so I am postponing the planned upgrade. Stay tuned for further updates down the road

https://www.sharkbrew.com/community/index.php?app=sports&do=bet&id=23 Due to popular demand, I have decided to create the bet for PX vs UB prep. On Saturday 7th Oct, 1AM-5AM EST- I will be upgrading sharkbrew to the latest version of IPB, IPB 4.2.5. During this period, the forums/site/memberlist/wiki will go offline. Due to the scale of this upgrade, majority of sharkbrew systems will be taken offline until I finish coding through the features. This includes forum cosmetic upgrades like the sharkwallet, clan hats, etc. Priority will be assigned to key clanning systems such as the memberlist system. #Ambassador

After the recent fiasco I took the blame for what some people would call a "loophole" being exposed in the system. Hopefully these tighten up the rules and prevent any more broccolied brown sticky stuff in the future from happening. BO5 preps will not be counted towards COTM if they are within 5 days to the end of the month. Only two preps count towards COTM per day. Unless it's a Fullout preps during the weekends don't count, but they do count towards you CWL W/L's Preps done withing the last 2 days of the month don't count towards COTM, but they do count towards you CWL W/L's The opt count must be met within atleast 2 rounds. Example, if 30v30 prep aftermath is posted, atleast two of the rounds must have been 30v30+. If one round is 30v30, and the other two are 25v25, this prep will be counted as 20v20. Any information given to us about a clan buying a prep will DQ that clan for the entire month from COTM If you lie on a OPT count to gain more points in a prep you will lost x2 the amount of points the entire prep is worth for example, if Clan X says they did a 30v30 P2P Prep but the video shows 25v25 in 2/3 Rounds they will lose 5 points for that month. On the flip side if there's "Human" error that doesn't change the score we will not punish it, for example if Clan X says they did a 25v25 prep but the video show 24v24 I will not penalize you because you don't change the outcome of points. Clans in the lead when doing a COTM Tie-Breaker will decide what server the fight will be held in. https://www.sharkbrew.com/community/index.php?/topic/31535-offical-cotm-rules-and-regulations/

Outcome: Goodjob to all clans that participated and gave their members mega action! The results turned out in favour of the Blue team 2-1. Congratulations Outburst and Special Forces. The link to the topic; https://www.sharkbrew.com/community/index.php?/topic/36581-blue-vs-red-100v100-2-1/ Signature: Talked to a few people, and turns out nobody was doing signature. Agreed to do it myself etc. Ok so I made an animated signature but some parts are transparent which forces for white pixels unless the matte is the same colour as the forum background. Now because this signature is likely to be used on more than 1 community (i.e. different background colours) I had to make individual ones for each forums: Sharkbrew Outburst Special Forces If you need it in any other background colour let me know. Thanks to: Sharkbrew staff for organizing event and turning up. Lenin for gfx. xLPC clans and mature ranks for coming on and giving their members action.

I apologize to the ranks and members of Outburst we don't want this to be your view of our forums or staff team. Anyone with comments or concerns query me on irc /Moni or msg me on forums.

On July the 3rd, ranks of Sharkbrew & representatives of various xLpcs gathered on TS for a small meeting which lasted for an hour or so. We agreed on the following: 1) Combat cap of 70 (Ascent asked for a cb 65 cap), while the 65 should stay the average ish in the memberlist. 2) No overheads in clan wars 3) Massing for trips at 4pm est, start at 4:30pm. So, as some of you have already noticed, we've decided to give xLpcs a chance at the WCOTM, in the hope of promoting wilderness & eventually clan wars activity amongst the lilguys. If everything goes by the plan, we'd also love to host a xLpc version of the RvB, probably 2v2. Currently we're waiting for all xLpc's to assign clan ambassadors, finish their memberlists & recruitment topics so we could open the WCOTM tracker.

New Promotion Schedule Unlike a clan where there obvious need for background checks and long vetting process before a member can become a rank, sharkbrew, as a community site, has little privacy concerns to worry about. Previously, we operated on a 3 monthish promotion schedule that resulted in many apps with good potential going MIA. To mitigate such potential loss of future talent, we will be running ad-hoc promotions whenever we receive good applications. New Promotions Without further ado, let us welcome @ @@Soniqs @@dull as our new gatekeepers. Like all promotions, they will be on a 2 week trial and can be demoted without warning

Hello fello' Sharkbrewians. We have attempted to contact Jagex on Reddit regarding our community and existence. We have tried to lay out our desire to communicate with them and improve clanning experience for all. I hope you will set aside your rivalries and hatred for anyone personal just this once and simply support this post as we all have mutual benefits in this. This may be the begining of a new era of clanning. Click Here Please upvote and support our cause. I don't get any personal gain out of this. We are doing this for the PvP clanning communities. #Overseer #Mediator #Gatekeeper #Retired #Ambassador

Clans can only declare twice(1 P2P/1 F2P) per week(every Monday 00:00 EST to Sunday 23:59 EST). This means clans can make up to a maximum of 8 declarations per month. Declaring clan receives full COTM points equivalent 3-0 fight for ignored declarations. Ignoring/Forfeit a declaration(i.e. not fighting the declaring clan within 2 weeks) will result loss of 1 point in the COTM. Ignoring a declaration will null a clan's eligibility to win WCOTM and COTM(with effect from 17th Jul 17) https://www.sharkbrew.com/community/index.php?/topic/30907-new-declaration-rules/ #Ambassador Take note

https://www.sharkbrew.com/community/index.php?/topic/30907-new-declaration-rules/ The new rules supersede the previous changes and applies to all declarations posted after the 17th Key highlights: Minimum opt for the fight must be 20v20 or 40% of smaller clan's memberlist(whichever is higher) <-- Down from 50% Clans are given 2 weeks to respond to the declaration. Opponents shall provide a screenshot of their memberlist if necessary or else it will count as a ignore/forfeit. Clans can only declare twice(1 P2P/1 F2P) per week(every Monday 00:00 EST to Sunday 23:59 EST) against clans they had not declared on before in that month. This means clans can make up to a maximum of 8 declarations per month. <-- Clans can only declare against the same clan twice, 1 p2p 1 f2p Declaring clan receives full COTM points equivalent to a 3-0 fight for ignored declarations. <-- You will receive COTM according to the opts declared, e.g. +2 for 40v40, etc. Do note that all anti prep farming point deduction apply so if you prepped a clan more than twice in a month, you shouldn't declare on them in the last 2 weeks. Ignoring/forfeiting a declaration will result in a 3 point penalty from final COTM score <-- We felt that auto DQ from COTM and WCOTM was too harsh. In the past 2 COTMs, The 3 clans with the highest points in the last 2 COTMs were within 3 points of each other and thus this point penalty should be suffice in tipping the balance.

Ok so we're changing COTM to a point based system instead of the brown sticky stuff W/L thing which we always do. it'll be based more off of who gets the most preps and how many points you can rack up doing F2P or P2P preps! Ok so here's how it's going to work. F2P Prep (If You Win) = 1 Point P2P Prep (If You Win) = 1.5 Points Anything above a 40v40 in either F2P or P2P = Extra +1 Point Fullout Win = +5 Points Side Information To Win COTM, 6 Points is the minimum This system will be implemented in July Anything below a 40v40 doesn't involve gaining extra points it's just a regular win! These are the timeframes in which preps will be counted in Start: The first day of the month at 1 P.M EST End: The last day of the month at 6 P.M EST Change to the minimum for "what counts as a prep" (Anything below a 25v25 wont count as a prep) This only applies to MPC's and HPC"s, For LPC's it's 20v20 min (The only reason P2P preps are worth more is because MASSIVE amount of preps per month are F2P and we feel we should encourage people to start doing more P2P Preps! Now, some of you are going to ask "Why didnt you guys do the points per round in which some of the ambassadors suggest?" Answer: Well to be fair we went through alot of scenarios in which clans can abuse this. Also, something to remember is that if we implemented that system we can differentiate points between F2P and P2P if it's based on rounds because the point differential will either be to massive or to minuscule to even matter. We're trying to push for more P2P not keep it the same way it is atm. Now referring back to what to I said earlier I can see clans abusing the system in a way which a clan wins 0-2 and may be allies with the other clan and the other clan can throw for more points. Also approaching months end we've seen clans throw entire preps and with a point system throwing a 3-0 prep is much worse for us then throwing a regular prep.

http://sv-rs.net/forums/index.php?/topic/4494-currently-loling-atm/ It has come to our attention that SV is openly endorsing this hittin rank for hacking sharkbrew- a mere community site that wants to better the pure community. Inspite of my efforts to reach out to SV offering any sort of resolution, SV ranks has instead decided to take the highway instead. As such, Sovereign will not be able to participate in WCOTM/COTM until they remove the bad apple(hittin) from their clan. Additionally, all trips/preps/pkris/etc that is for or against Sovereign will automatically be removed. It is extremely unfortunate that this action had to be taken as vast majority of SV are innocent ranks & members who just simply want to play the game https://www.sharkbrew.com/community/index.php?/topic/35122-security-breach/

COTM/WCOTM User Awards Thanks to @@Kim for the idea. From June 2017 onwards, we will be giving award medals that will apply to all members who are inside the winning clan's ambassador clan group. https://www.sharkbrew.com/community/index.php?/groups/ We feel that this User Awards would help further motivate members as well as ranks to push harder for their clan. Additionally, if you have enough awards in your profile, you can laugh at others who may not have as many awards as you do We will only distribute the awards once, this so as to differentiate between members/ranks of different eras and performance Please note that these awards icons are subjected to change as we will be migrating to a new skin in the coming days. #Mediator #Gatekeeper #VIP #Kingpin #Ambassador #Veteran #Member

We're adding/fixing some new things for COTM as per improving the system and making it fair for everyone - Prepping a clan in the same server more than once will result in a .-25 (First Time) -.50 (Second Time) -.75 (Third Time) and -1 (Fourth Time) | After the fourth time you will receive 0 points for prepping them in that same server. -Any clan caught cape switching (with valid proof) will result in a redo of the round if the clan who cape switched won but if the opposing clan won they can decide to continue the prep as normal. Also, if the clan who cape switches refuses to redo the round it will be a auto-win for the opposing clan. (Must be re-done during the prep) -A standard will be set for preps as "Minimum Opts" since over the course of the past few weeks clans have complained due to low pulling clans doing 20v20's. So the standard will be 20v20 in during all rounds, no more no less.

Fake smile has been temporarily demoted for entrapment. All ranks are requirement to uphold the rules of sharkbrew. And hold them themselves to higher standards.

Last week, we asked the community and the ambassadors their take on a revamp The ambassadors voted in their boards and none of the poll questions passed. Read below for changes within the point system and logs. Point System: Pkris 1.50 Points for PKRIs. After two pkris, it'll be brought down to 1.25 points. This will reset at midnight in eastern timezone. (must provide evidence of established pkri, both clans will get points, mains will be penalized)It was found that clans hardly do more than two pkris in one day regardless unless they're farming it in the last week. In order to avoid farming all together, we have capped it. If we see its hindering clans during the month of June, it'll be changedMidweeks Midweeks with fighting clans (an unplanned pkri) - this serves as an unexpected pkri and should be worth around 1.25 points. If a second midweek is posted, it'll be brought down to 1 point.(mains will not be penalized) Midweek with fighting randoms - 1 point (mains will not be penalized) Weekends Wilderness Weekend event- 2 points (mains will be penalized) no changes This point system will be effective from this point forward. Creation of Topics Sharkbrew staff and I have spoken about this for awhile. Its been somewhat ridiculous on how people only post a video of their event to get midweek points. Guidelines: Be descriptive of what occurred in your fights to the best of your abilities. Organize the fights into an orderly fashion with the apporiate GFX or text. If the guidelines aren't followed, your topics will not count. Your topics will start to be penalized on June 14th. If you have any questions or suggestions on how to organize it. Please comment below or query me on IRC. Documentation of Logs: This has been in the talks with the staff for awhile in how the logs should be presented. The logs need to show: The PKRI being asked for. /whois The Location. The initial heads up of when the attacking clan is going to rush. Examples of Poor Logs
