Hello, all! I'm Blak Art, but you can just call me Blak. Back in 2011, a good friend and I had grown quite tired of how things were going with our then-current clan. So, we decided to strike out on our own and found a new one. A short time later, the Skillers' Syndicate was born.

Unfortunately, it was a somewhat short-lived clan, lasting only about a year before some serious real life issues prevented my Co-Founder from playing. Without her, and with my own absence from the game due to long military deployments, SS eventually keeled over and died.

While we were active, we had weekly events and a fairly nice citadel, though we never maxed it out. We had good, contributory members who were friendly, mature, and active. But, as I said, the clan eventually met its end.

So now, I'm going to try my best to revive it! With this intro done, let's get right into it. First off, let me just say that I wont drag this post out and make a bunch of different replies. I'll just organize it with some nice bold and italic text, in as few replies as possible.

~**~ Skiller's Syndicate ~**~

The Original Skilling Syndicate





What are we, exactly?


The Skillers' Syndicate is a clan that was originally founded in the late summer of 2011 by UssIntega and Blak Art, following a fallout with the leaders of their previous clan, which no longer exists. It was designed to be a haven for all types of players, with a special focus on skilling and other non-combat activities. What resulted was a medium-sized clan that, despite its relatively short life, forged lasting friendships and brought about the sense of unity that comes with accomplishing goals as a community within a community.

What resulted was a primarily citadel-focused clan with a strong social element. It wasn't out of the ordinary to have our members all doing their own thing, but chatting up a storm in the Clan Chat. We had non-compulsory weekly events like Citadel Skilling on build tick day, skill-themed minigames, group skill training, and even Skilling Workshops, during which we went to F2P worlds and helped lower levels learn the ins-and-outs of skiller life!

My goal is to bring all of this back.

So what does this mean for potential members? I'll tell ya! It means that you'll be able to enjoy an old, yet newly revived clan of skillers who are not only friendly, but social and mature as well. A laid-back atmosphere with events that are encouraged, but not required. No activity requirements, no level requirements, and no membership requirement. Are you more of a combat focused player? That's just fine, come on in! Just understand that any events we host will be skill events, no PvM or Combat-based events. We have at least one level 3 skiller in here, after all! Me!

What's our goal?


Well, considering that, as of writing this post, I'm the only active member... What else could our goal? First and foremost, I want to revive the Syndicate and return it to its former glory, and then expand! I have no specific member count or activity goal as of yet. I simpyl want to breath life back into this thing that my good friend and I created. I cant do it alone, though, so I need to find some new members!

As for other goals, it's pretty simple-Form a friendly and welcoming community comprised of all levels of social and mature players, recreate the Citadel and shoot for Tier 7, and return to having weekly events!

So how do I join?


Well, you have to meet our single requirement-Contact me! You can either reply here or contact me in game as Blak Art or Rhuivia!

What can you expect to see as a member?


Well, as I already stated, you can expect a friendly and laid-back atmosphere! But what about things to do? Let me give you a quick rundown of the types of events we used to host, and will be hosting again!

Citadel Skilling
-A weekly event that takes palce immediately following the Citadel build tick, or reset. All members are encouraged to attend and work on Resources. Everyone is asked to cap on resources weekly, to ensure that we have the opportunity to upgrade as often as possible!

Skilling Minigames
-Minigames and D&D's like Stealing Creation, GOP, Big Chin, Guthixian Caches, God Statues, and more! A time will be organized and we'll go as a group, whether the event is designed for multiplayer or solo.

Group Skilling
-All attending members go to a particular area and work on the skills together. This could be mass Agility training, or simple bank-standing to work on Fletching, Herblore, Crafting, or other skills.

Skills Workshops
-Attending members will go to an area filled with lower level players and help teach them the best ways to train their skills. Starter packs designed to help get the new players started can, and hopefully will, be provided to them free of charge. Not only does this help them out greatly, but it also helps our clan grow!

Skilling Tournaments
-Grand, month-long competitions that pit friend against friend, clanmate against clanmate to figure out who among us is the best! All in the spirit of friendly competition, of course! Two skills will be chosen for each Tournament-One buyable and one non-buyable. The winners will receive cash or skilling pack prizes and a special clan rank for the following month!

Clan Ranks

-Comprised of up to four members who lead as equals.

-Second in command, a member who both leads and is in training for the Council. They have the authority to remove members from the clan if necessary, but are generally a type of "Junior Council".

-A very senior member and rule enforcer. The Master Skiller has avatar privileges and can kick people from the Clan Chat.

Senior Skiller (Red Plus)
-A member who has proven to be mature, helpful, and active in the Clan Chat. Seniors have avatar privileges. This rank is somewhat of an in-training rank for future Leadership roles.

Syndicate Skiller (Silver Star)
-A member who has, at the very least, completed their week-long trial period.

Hey I was wondering if I could join your clan. My total skill level is 1782, and I'm working towards Elf City requirements right now. I'm on most days and I'm usually pretty social. I was just looking for a small clan to join, because larger clans have too many insufferable people in them.
