About Viking Clan
Viking Clan was established in September of 2010 by two brother, Kent Knifen and Hydromi Tad. At this time, they used Kent Knifen's Friends' Chat as a way of clan communication.

Their main goal for their clan was to create a clan based around no requirements, and F2P-friendly, due to their own problems with joining clans. The idea was popular, and Viking Clan was quickly recognized as a force to be reckoned with on their home-world, 13. With the update to clans in 2011, Viking Clan quickly expanded, gaining several new members each week.

Ranks and Rules
To be promoted in Viking Clan, you need to participate in events, citadel capping (not required), clan chat posting, activity in the game, and time within the clan. The only exception to this rule is when the leader declares a Clan Crisis, in which members may be ranked up quickly or rarely, this is reserved for wars threatening the entire strcuture of the clan.

Of course, you must also obey the clan rules to remain. These are: - Obey all rules set by Jagex LTD (demotion varies by offense) - Do not scam (Automatic removal, no case-by-case investigation) - Do not Lure (Automatic removal, no case-by-case investigation) - Do not use bots or macros (Automatic removal, no case-by-case investigation) - Do not gmble, organize, or "host" Player-run Games of Chance (Automatic removal, no case-by-case investigation)

Past Wars/Conflicts
Madsamuria Civil War.

In early 2011, Kent Knifen and Hydromi Tad had to temporarily quit the game to take care of some real world issues. They put a Captain by the (at the time) name of Kush den ba to lead the clan. In addition to this, they gave away all the wealth on their accounts to various members, believing they may not return for a long time.

However, a clanmember by the username of Madsamuria, aided with two real life friends (also clanmates), performed a Coup D'etat and siezed control of Viking Clan. During the 39 days that Madsamuria held control of Viking Clan, he frequently gave demanding (and questionable) orders to members, and would often threaten people. He also invited some of his friends in to act as a police force and mercenaries.

When the two brother, Kent Knifen and Hydromi Tad, returned, the clan (with the exception of the Coup ringleaders) Immediately rejoined kent Knifen's Friends' Chat and began for the war to come. Kent and Hydromi reestablished their Runescape banks thanks top a large-scale Drop Party, and were then able to actively take part in the war.

The war itself lasted nearly the entire summer of 2011. During this time all the original Viking Clan members (With the exception of one, who abandoned the clan and joined Madsamuria) rallied together against Madsamuria and his allies. At some point during this, one of Madsamuria's own real life friends betrayed him, and led him straight into a Viking ambush. Within hours of this, his other real world friend declared neutrality, he would no longer participate in the war.

The war ended when the two brothers' cousins, who had played years before and were higher combat levels, heard of the conflict and volunteered to assist. The day their cousins entered the battle was the same day the war had ended. The deserter entered the chat and requested a formal pardon for his actions (Although, he was later removed for editing clan permissions without authorization), which was granted.

World 13 Owners Standoff.

The World 13 Owners Standoff was a war lasted nearly the entire year of 2012. The war originated from displeasure over Viking Clan performing takeovers of Clan Wars on their home-world (13), in which 10 or more members would be in Clan Wars and often kill anyone who was not in the clan.

Clan Wars "Regulars" of 13 banded together and formed the clan World 13 Owners. When Viking Clan once again arrived at Clan Wars (Though, this time to film themselves fighting each other for their 2012 clan trailer), the 13 Owners ambushed them. The first fight lasted several hours, with no clear winner.

Empowered by what they considered to be a victory, the World 13 Owners began camping Clan Wars on the 13th server for hours on end. The Vikings retaliated by alerting their allied clans of the situation, who began taking patrols around the Grand Exchange, and would be seen sending semi-offensive messages and accuse World 13 Owner members of breaking game rules. Skirmishes were held nearly every week, but as with the first battle, no clear winner was determined.

When the Evolution of Combat beta was released, Kent Knifen realized this would be a significant advantage, and encouraged all members and allies to get very accustomed to the new combat system. On November 20th, 2012 (The day EoC went live), Kent Knifen approached the World 13 Owners alone, and kindly requested that they surrender. To his pleasure, they refused, and Kent easily killed their leader (A level 122 by pre-EoC standards, whereas Kent was under 100 combat before) 3 times and didn't take any significant damage. The leader of the opposing clan rallied all his members together and attempted to defeat Kent Knifen, who did not bring his clan as backup. Kent Knifen began using area-damage abilities and several stuns, allowing him to have a chance against an entire clan, which had little or no EoC training.

During the climax of the fight, their leader stopped fighting, walked his character away from the fighting, and proclaimed "I quit!" before logging off. Weeks later, The World 13 Owners officially disbanded and the war was over.
