The Event Thugs United are an unofficial group within the Questing Clan of Runescape. They formed in August of 2010, and have since hosted events with a total of more than 1,000 different people in attendance.
Event Thugs United, we love karaoke night, and will beat the tar outta you if you make fun of it.
Formation[]
Clan Quest had always had a great deal of success and popularity in a single type of event, the "Emote Spam." The emote spam was a very simple event, but this only contributed to its popularity. The event consisted of everyone meeting at a crowded location, wearing one of the clan capes (QPC/Legend's). We would then sync emotes. If you had a QPC, you would do the QPC emote, with Legend's you would do the freeze emote. It was a great deal of fun, and apparently was an impressive show of coordination, to sync up to 20 people at a time.
One of Clan Quest's members, The Rerecros spent his first few months in the clan, too noob to participate. He had neither the QPC, nor the Legend's Cape, and he had neither the QPC emote, nor the Freeze emote. Therefore, when he finally beat Legend's Quest, he threw a party.
On Thursday, August 6th, 2010, at 1:00 AM Game Time, the Legend's Quest After Party happened. It was an overwhelming success, with one of the highest turnouts in clan history. Although it probably was not a result of the (estimated) 110 people at the party, W66, which played host to the party crashed, shortly after the party ended.
The party shortly became legendary, and caused a group of Clan Questers to unite, and attempt to top the party, in both attendance, and positive reviews. The group became known as "Event Thugs United"
Events[]
Event Thugs United were responsible for the "Majors" these were regarded amongst the clan, as the true "Clan Events." Although no attendance was mandatory, attendance was always high, because of the reputation the thugs had built up. Below are the events hosted by the thugs, in order of when they occured, and with props given to the thugs involved. The Planning thug(s), were the people responsible for coming up with what to do at the event, and when to host it. The Hosting thug(s) were responsible for making sure that the event actually happened, and that everyone who wanted to be there, got the opportunity. Both the Planners, and the Hosters shared responsibility for promoting and advertising the event.
