But we were proven wrong when their 30 pull and superior quality bested our 25 pull. However, merely minutes after acheieving rank 1, AoA closed due to internal conflict and arguments and AL was once again #1 on the lower ladder, but we all knew it was not the same #1 we were proud of months ago because all our rival clans had moved up into the higher ladder and we had no competition. Because of this, AL went into a deep slump throughout the summer of '10 and after a 16 pull to Unknown Fury (UF) lead by UF Taylor, we dropped off the ladders entirely. By this point I became hooked on warring, especially minis because they didn't depend on quantity, but quality. Because AL was off the ladder I decided to join a mini warring team so that I would be able to continue to war. I found Yupimbomber, who accepted me into his mini team Hungry Hippos (HH). Though I didnt know then, HH had some of the best warrers in the RSB, most from UP, EW and TR. While I myself wasn't very good compared to them, I improved rapidly. Bomber himself took his time to explain many concepts of warring that were new to me, that had never been done in lower league mini warring, such as mass freezing, 6-4 mage/range ratio, tank gear, etc etc. As a result I became a fairly good mini warrer and was able to hold my own in wars against some of the best clans/teams at the time, TNB, Team Next Hype, PMT etc. Eventually I became so good that that bomber said I could fight with the top 10 against Fatal Death, the #1 mini warring team at the time. While we lost that war, we rematched them shortly afterward, beat them to become the #1 mini team. At this point I could consider myself one of the best mini warrers in RSB being able to hold my own against the best of the best.

So I took my new found abilities and knowledge of mini warring and brought them to AL. I tried to teach anyone would listen, and as a result AL became a solid mini-warring clan. We would apply all the new concepts and tactics bomber had taught me and I would pass it on AL members in fun mini wars. We initially only warred against Immortal Fury (IF), a new clan lead by Sound5leader and Green Bandits (GB). But we started to war better clans as we improved. Our first big break came from warring External Graverobbers (EG). They werent the greatest mini-warring clan, so when we warred them, we perfected them and dropped their members very quickly, causing EG to close hours after the war. The whole time were we unknowingly being watch by ex-Age of Glory members who were looking for a new clan after Age of Glory had closed. After watching us sweep EG, the ex-members joined AL and brought with them considerable mini warring experience making the AL mini team even more stacked.
After some time CV dropped off the ladders and eventually closed. Again, the CV members from their mini team were looking for a new clan, and they were stuck between AL and Exiled Fury (EF). Soon enough when AL and EF had their own mini war, AL came back to win 3-2 down 1-2, and CV members basically all applied to AL, drastically increasing our ml. Soon enough AL was ready to join the ladders again, and we were pulling 50s. We were able to break into the top 10 of the higher fullout ladder beating DE and UF, and also break into the top 10 of the mini ladder, beating UF, GB, and EXI. Around this time TNB closed because Stro was inactive, and AL gained a lot of TNB members. This is what I would consider AL's decline. When the TNB members joined, the AL warlord and higher ranked members began to give them "special treatment" just because they were from. I approached AL leadership and specially told them not to give TNB members special treatment because its unfair and would cause alot of people to leave

But of course they didnt listen to my advice and continued to do as they pleased. And sure enough many of the ex-Age of Glory members that joined were basically ready to leave. This hit me hard because I had grown really close to them because we had done so many things on Runescape together, and had a great time in the AoG vent. Once they left the clan, and the AL leadership continued to do this special treatment BS, I got fed up with it and left, convinced that this would lead to AL's downfall. All of my HH friends were in Godz, and once I joined along with Randyhunter, who was of RSB's best mage's, the Godz mini team was basically a replica of HH. Knowiing this, we believed we could easily tank #1 mini from CK because HH had beaten CK a number of times, and under Godz it should be no different. Once again, we were proven wrong, when many of the people on HH didnt show for the Godz CK war, and those of us who did show did not war our best (myself included), we were soundly beaten by CK who warred fantastically. Soon, Godz had a fullout with Eternal Brethern and lost badly after pulling 60 to EB's 80. Internal conflict tore Godz apart mostly due to the HH members (not me though =]) that had joined and Godz warlord, which caused 3/4 of the clan to leave to join various other clans and left Godz with a very small member list. Godz basically became so inactive that I had no choice but to leave it. Because of CK being EST and greatly led clan, I ended up leaving Godz and joining CK, where I was welcomed graciously by their leadership. Shortly after I joined CK I was told that AL was closing. This was a very sad day for me because I still loved AL and its members even though I had left. I invited them all to join CK and they all accpeted, so we are still together, just under a diferent name. Im still in CK and hope to stay to there until my dying days of Runescape. Thanks for reading
