KASH kind of stagnated after I left, I handed it over to Wise and it was doing fine for a while. Before I had left, I helped make the world 25 community but after I left it kind of died off. Wise was a great leader, but he wasn't as active in everything as I am and the clan stagnated a bit. When I finally came back, I actually helped to bring back the dying EOP, which changed names like 3 times as well lol. It came back but then once I handed it back to Spench, all of my friends who were leaders decided they were also tired of RS and it stagnated and is now a world 42 roleplay clan I think.
I was gone for most of all of 2015 until August or so when I came back to create Imperium of Socery, now Noxious Gladiators. Also in August we made the world 103 community which is doing great! KASH at this time was going through a lot of bumpy times. Zaire was leader after wise for a short time but some complications with the leadership arose and he gave it to Kait for like 2 days and then it was offered to Stardrifter, MichelleLove and myself. I had IOS so I said no but Michi said yes.
Michi nearly killed KASH because she drove a lot of the old members away because she joined and was instantly leader. This caused discontent and then a number of issues happen which resulted in IOS, TAK and all of her Lords confronting her and telling her she needed to step down. She actually kicked some of them and then Wobble asked for the rank and she just gave it to him and quit. Bowie ended up leading for a time but then he had some serious irl stuff happened and gave it to StewardMan.
Stew isn't a bad guy but he's very paranoid that everyone is out to get him. An issue occurred between one of his lords and Kait and Chris and because I replied "lol" at first, he thought I was supporting them. This led to him banning me from KASH and most of the community turning against him. He then took his leaders and joined EOA, leaving a skeleton crew behind for KASH.

So 103 was founded by KASH, TAK, Matts Clabn (I don't even remember what their actual name was) and IOS. We set it up to try again at our community and this time we had a significant number of larger clans to do it with. The community was awesome starting out because we were all friends and agreed that warring should never be used angrily and it would all be in good fun.
I actually quit IOS because I'm not really feeling Runescape anymore, or any games. My girlfriend and I actually broke up and it kind of woke me up to the fact that I don't want to be playing games too much. What brought me back is that KASH was supposed to disband as the skeleton crew that Stew left were overwhelmed and had no morale left so they handed it over to me.
#woke, a criticism of you that I have heard before is that you are good at starting pocs but not seeing them through; that you are a little restless and hop from project to project over time. Do you think this is a fair criticism or that they're wrong? What do you see for KASH in the near future?
I believe it is a fair criticism but also the evidence shows that it isn't really true. So the clans I have founded are KASH, IOS, and the Black Concordat. So KASH was doing fantastic and extremely stable when I first them, therefore in a good place for me to leave. IOS I had someone who I knew would do a good job as leader without a doubt, which was Spear. And then TBC was meant to be made for the sole purpose of making a message. We used Republic of Ashdale (TBC's first name) to show the community how messed up it was what stew was doing. He was a part of EOA but had his mule account as the leader of KASH. TBC showing up let the community know how almost all of the original members of KASH had been kicked by stew while he was paranoid about everyone going against him, which actually is what made people he against him. I guess you could make the same case against me for EOP when I was bringing that back, but I also had no idea that literally everyone would quit when I did.
My plans for KASH is to not step down for a long ass time. I want KASH back to the top of POCs with over 250 members and a T7 citadel again. I'm also not stepped down until I'm 110% sure of who will replace me because I really don't feel like coming back in a year to fix it again lol. I may not enjoy Runescape quite as much as I used to, but KASH will always be my baby.
Honestly I wish people just stayed within what is acceptable with POCs towards people who bother you. Like going back and forth on forums is fine, but KASH was recently spammed in both our clan chat and our forums and the Jmods had to get involved and everything. It was just not something that I would ever dream of doing so the fact that someone can think it is okay just boggles my mind. It was proven that someone in the community had their friends outside the community do it to us which is just pathetic to me honestly.
Fair enough. I am all for the mass drama, but then again my idea of drama is a bit foreign to most POC folks I've learned. Thanks for doing the interview, Vaaris! I will try to keep this going, but getting in touch with more historic figures may prove difficult.
