Clan:Family Unity Network



"Forever FUN, and FUN Forever" "Proud 2011 Jagex Combined Cup Winners"

Introduction:
Founded on April 26, 2008, by Steele11 and 6 other members, it was formed due to the passing of Law running. Remade from an in game company known as FLI(Fast Laws Inc.) and FPEI(Fast pure essence Inc.) it was agreed upon by the council members to close and change due to the changes made with in the Runescape community(you can read more in the history section.)

Family Unity Network (A-K-A FUN or Fun Cave) is a Clan that does a little bit of everything. As one of the oldest and most well organized clans in the game, we take pride in what we offer to the community of Runescape. Known for our friendly atmosphere, regular events of all types, monthly competitions, and friendly staff, we pride ourselves in helping everyone new or old, returning or long standing players in Runescape.

Requirements to Join:
There is no level cap, skill cap to join, all our welcome. Our only requirement is to go to our recruitment page. This is on Runescape forums, under the clans section, "Specialist, quests and mini-games". You will normally find our thread on page 1 or 2 as we regularly keep it bumped to the top of the page. Once on our recruiting thread, read post 3: "Rules for joining" carefully as there is a requirement in the rules you must do, then go to post 4 "Applications" and fill out the app appropriately with the required information/rule requirement. Then a staff member will accept, contact and meet you in game for an invite and the FUN begins!

Rules For joining:
We require all members to fill out an application so every member reads our basic rule guideline for joining, it takes roughly 5-10 minutes to read the rules, copy and paste the application and for an acceptance once we have determined the rules have been read by the placement of the secret phrase into the application that can be found on the "Rules for joining". IF you do not feel you can devote a few minutes to filling out the application and reading the rules, it may be best to inquire about other clans with less standards. We hold all members to the same standards and requirements, it is what keeps our place FUN.

A successful clan can enhance the enjoyment one earns in a game. Family Unity Network prides itself on maintaining the vision of keeping the game "Forever Fun and Fun Forever". We are thankful to all our members who are and have been loyal and dedicated to that vision!

General Event Information:
We are a family of friends who have been doing skilling, parties, and many special events for the RuneScape community since April 26, 2008. Any player can join our clan chat and attend events hosted by us. Events are a great way for members to group together and enjoy mini-games, distraction and diversions, boss fighting, competitive skill events or even parties. We have hosted hundreds of successful events, parties and competitions for the masses of the gaming community. We are a friendly group who enjoy spending time opening up parts of this game that most people will not get to enjoy on their own. We also answer players’ questions on many different topics of the game; help accomplish players’ goals, as well as offer 'assist help' for skills.

Family Unity Network offers a wide range of events on a daily basis including Official and Unofficial Events.

Official events are organized/planned, reoccurring events that have an assigned Host (leader) and Co-host (co-leader) and have been posted on our Official Events Thread. These events will take place every week or month and have a predestined time, designated world, location, as well as the rules pertaining to the event. Posting an Official Event will greatly increase the success and attendance of said event. Any clan member can plan and schedule an Official event as long as an officer or ranked member has been assigned as co-host.

Unofficial Events may happen many times during any given day, although less organized and more spontaneous, these events can be successful. Any Clan member can simply advertise in clan chat a desire to form a group for a specific event. These events can include boss fights, completing a dungeon floor or even group questing.

Events can be held in any world
