Clan:Infernal Phoenix



Infernal Phoenix is a world 31 POC (player-owned city) clan mostly based on eventing, with a main focus on PvM and Clan Wars. Infernal Phoenix believes in a carefree, fun environment, not restricted by harsh rules or codes of conduct, meaning they try to minimize their clan rules and law inforcement as much as possible. Infernal Phoenix is a continuation of Bloodlines and the Eternal Light, which will be futher explained in the clan history below.

<span style="color:maroon;font-family:KingthingsPetrockRegular,'TimesNewRoman',serif;font-size:20px;line-height:18px;">Bloodlines Era
Founders: Blitz Undead, Fiasko, Let It Be92 and ProfessorRoi (BL Roi),

Founded on: [unknown] († April 9th 2012)

Clan motto: <span style="color:red;font-family:KingthingsPetrockRegular,TimesNewRoman,serif;font-size:16px;line-height:18px;">"If you're not with us...yeah you're pretty much lost."

[Pre-history is work in progress. Please add information if you can.]

Warring was not uncommon for a clan as big as Bloodlines. Its ±180 members soon ruled most of World 31, dominating nearly any clan that stood in their way.

At one point in history, HarmanSH, later known as Arch swag/Arch Harmy/xHarmy, was kicked from the clan during a fit with BL Roi, despite Harmy being one of the leaders at the time. This assumably happened because Harmy was drinking Red Wine at a young age, something clan owner BL Roi did not agree with. This eventually led to Harmy joining a PvM clan known as Archmageddon, and him stalking Bloodlines around with a few of his new friends. Harmy tracked Bloodlines down to every event they had to try and avenge his kick. At most of these events, BL Roi was not even present. Harmy still continued to crash them anyway, as he felt it would somehow still hurt BL Roi if he did. A stop to these crashings was put during the famous Giant mole event, at which all of the online Bloodlines players came and anticrashed Harmy and his Arch buddy.

SenseiNathan, now known as Nathan Ward, was also kicked for merely mentioning Harmy's name. However, Nathan's silver key rank was later restored, unlike Harmy's, who remained banned from the clan.

Soon the squad government system was made by BL Roi, dividing leadership into 5 different parts (later 6 with the addition of the Youtube squad). Every squad would have a deputy leader at the head of it, each of which was supposed to have an equal say in all clan matters. Some of the squadleaders started feeling some distrust towards clan owner BL Roi however, as he was making changes without asking any of them. Especially with the kicks that happened from time to time, some people started seeing him as a dictator.

The day Bloodlines fell was a day like none before. Everything was silent, save a couple random fights that broke out during the day. The day before, 3 out of 5 squadleaders had talked BL Roi into resigning his "dictatorship" and handing his gold key over to a fellow named Justinkai, a fairly new addon to the Bloodlines clan (he had only been in for a month or 3). As soon as this happened however, Justin decided to ban BL roi from the clan, despite BL Roi having led the clan for several years. People were now choosing sides; either sticking with their new leader Justinkai or remaining followers of BL Roi. Later that day, a revolution was led by Angry Ugig, leader of the events squad. He had been the only squadleader who was for BL Roi rather than against him (the 5th leader had been BL Roi himself). The revolution seemed like a win at first; Justinkai agreed to restore peace by inviting BL Roi back in, and ranking him up to deputy leader.

The next day however, Bloodlines members logged in only to see they had been kicked from the clan; Justinkai had made up his mind. He had kicked every single member out, only to invite his own alternate account and leave with his main to join the Empire of Zaros (EoZ). Altough Justinkai tried to transfer all of Bloodlines' land over to EoZ, this was put a stop to by the w31 land claims threadholder, who recognized BL Roi as the true land owner.

Significant events:
 * May 3rd 2011 - Bloodlines-Zarosian War starts
 * September 7th 2011 - Bloodlines-Zarosian War ends
 * March 3rd 2012 - Youtube squad & Bloodlinesclan channel created

<span style="color:maroon;font-family:KingthingsPetrockRegular,'TimesNewRoman',serif;font-size:20px;line-height:18px;">The Eternal Light era
Founders: BL Roi (ProfessorRoi/EL Roi), Magenta Fan (EL Sik Tank), MVP IainD4wg and Obsidian Rex (EoZ-Dr Tim),

Founded on: April 10th 2012 († May 4th 2012)

Clan motto: <span style="color:red;font-family:KingthingsPetrockRegular,'TimesNewRoman',serif;font-size:16px;line-height:18px;">"In the darkness of tyranny, the Eternal Light shines bright."

Although Bloodlines had been physically broken, its spirit was still roaming freely. Many ex-Bloodlines members, including previous founder BL Roi, soon gathered at the clan camp to start their new journey: the Eternal Light. It would be a great challenge to get the clan back up and running, as everyone had always taken the high member counts for granted. Obsidian Rex gained the golden key, assumably for being considered thrustworthy enough by BL Roi.

A new forum thread was created; a new website was made. The Eternal Light soon flourished, growing up to about 150 members in size. This was done thanks to a master plan set up by Roi; mass re-recruitment of old Bloodlines members and a recruitment competition with a grand prize of 30m gp, to bring new ones in on the side. This ofcourse would have never worked without the help and dedication of all 5 of the squad leaders and other members who helped recruit.

Unforunately, the success of the Eternal Light was only short-term. Obsidian Rex turned out to be extremely inactive, only playing for a couple days before going inactive for several weeks. The squadleaders of EL decided to start a vote for a new gold key, as the clan was starting to die without an active owner to guide it. On the day of May 4th, Obsidian Rex returned to Runescape and instantly kicked all of the fellow clanleaders (and about 9/10 of the clan members with them), for a reason he called "treason".

Shortly after, Obsidian Rex ranked some random members up to help him lead his "new clan"; ELBeastly, El Sik Tank, Tre Rebel and Eternal Vex. These soon grew corrupt under the weight of the power they had never had before. The Eternal Light's new leaders started trolling the world 31 land claims and, shortly after, the Infernal Phoenix recruitment thread and in-game clan chat.

As Obsidian Rex had been the Gold Key of EL, he managed to hang on to the old Bloodlines lands for a while, and even tried transferring the land to the Empire of Zaros, just like Justinkai had tried when Bloodlines fell. Luckily, Infernal Phoenix was soon recognized to be the true new Bloodlines successor and gained back its rightfully owned land. The last remainings of the Eternal Light fell apart shortly after, due to neglection by its owner once again.

Significant events:


 * April 11th 2012, alliance with Galaxy Genesis (GG) established
 * April 14th 2012, alliance with GG broken because of trolling issues

<span style="color:maroon;font-family:KingthingsPetrockRegular,'TimesNewRoman',serif;font-size:20px;line-height:18px;">Infernal Phoenix era
Founders: Ace Panda,  Angry Ugig, Benjabenja77 Craignez-mois (IP Steve/Angry Stove) and IP Ben (RockWithTail/House737)

Founded on: May 4th 2012

Clan motto: <span style="color:red;font-family:KingthingsPetrockRegular,'TimesNewRoman',serif;font-size:16px;line-height:18px;">"Out of the ashes, the phoenix shall rise."

After the Eternal Light was compromised and completely wiped out, a new clan was needed once again. It only took one Skype call and a couple minutes for ex-EL leaders to get together and start the founding process. Ace Panda (leader of clan help), Angry Ugig (leader of events), Benjabenja77 (Bronze star), Craignez-mois (leader of Youtube team) and IP Ben (Bronze key) gathered to start the clan we now know as Infernal Phoenix; symbolizing our second rise from the ashes of previous clans.

Craignez-mois, later known as IP Steve, was chosen to be clan owner, followed by a period of multiple months without drama or fights. The clan rapidly grew back up to a member count of 100+ and became increasingly active. However, as IP Steve started to lose interest in Runescape, he became more and more inactive, eventually leading to multiple clan members leaving and the clan starting to die.

The three remaining active squad leaders of Infernal Phoenix (Angry Ugig, Earwax Jax and MVP IainD4wg) soon came together and suggested multiple changes to be made. Altough these were suggested to help IP Steve get this clan back on its feet, IP Steve decided not to continue running the clan. He eventually quit Runescape and passed his gold key over to Angry Ugig on October 14th 2012, as he had been known for being leader of events ever since back in Bloodlines, and for having shown sufficient leadership skills and likability over the past years.

This event marked the start of Infernal Phoenix' current period; reconstruction. New squad leaders have been chosen to make up for the ones that have gone inactive under the rule of IP Steve. Recruiting is now happening at a fast pace and inactivity sweeps are being held every so often. Multiple clan events are being held a week, making sure everybody gets a fair chance of ranking up. As of January 21 2013, the clan is being led by Angry Ugig (events), Earwax Jax (forums), IPhantasy (recruitment), Meos (citadel), MVP Iaind4wg (wars) and x PvM Saad x (clan help).

Significant events:


 * May 6th 2012 - Alliance with Galaxy Genesis re-astablished
 * June 28th 2012 - Galaxy Genesis merges with Infernal Phoenix
 * July 9th 2012 - Infernal Phoenix gains the W31 land previously owned by Galaxy Genesis
 * October 14th 2012 - New clan owner; Angry Ugig
