Surreal Revealed Revived

The Real Surreal | April '17

 Words from the Editor

Oh-- Hello! It's been a while, hasn't it? Old members:  hello again. New members: nice to meet you. Surreal Revealed is the Surreal newsletter which keeps you up to date on Surrealian happenings and lets you know what's ahead.

Recently, Surreal has entered a new era. First and foremost, thank you to @Linda, @ChangingLaneand @samro30 for all your efforts in helping Surreal run SWCs, implementing new forum tools (e.g. Anonymous Contact on Hub), organizing the Surreal Yearly Awards, and all of the behind-the-scenes work you've done. Really and truly, thank you.

They've passed off the torch to @JeliBelski (Haley), @Jerome, @lylietheelf (Chrissy), and @Thorgrimssen (Kyle), who now compose our Surreal Staff Team. Congratulations! The Surreal Staff members host events and set the tone for what it means to be a Surrealian. They also create new ways to enrich your Surreal experience in Runescape. Have ideas to make Surreal a better place? Simply PM a staff in game or tell us on the forums.

Lastly, a HUGE THANK-YOU to @Lady Spyra (Mel). As our 'Leader,' she is the glue that keeps this clan together. She has recruited 50 members to Surreal throughout her time here, and she's always there to help out the team. Thanks Mel!

 Spotlight: Competition & Events

Our goal as a clan is to enrich one another's Runescape experience. Help us do that by showing us your great personality through Clan Chat or even creating good discussions both in-game and on our forums. As a staff team, we're committed to creating ways to keep the skilling, killing (monsters), and community-building interesting.

Just how are we doing that? Well...

Skill Week Championship: is an all-time favorite--you know the drill. See you guys in Season 2 Round 1!

Challenges: are a way to boost motivation in training a skill. Pick a friend, or two, or three, maybe? Then, race to see who can reach a certain skill level first. Or, change things up and see who can get the most Hard-mode Armadyl kills in a week. The choice is yours! The important thing is to post a topic in the forum so we can share in the fun.

Daily Skilling Records: are back! Pick a skill you want to dominate and show your fellow Surrealians who's boss by gaining the most XP in a single skill for a day. May the best no-lifer win!

Well, I started to post my guess for the 2 Truths & a Lie, then realized that would be giving myself away...  
I'm not making it that easy.

I will say that "@sorchaflaith 225M Overall XP"  was a shocker to me... Apparently I missed my own achievement.

Congrats on everyone else though.

Nah... Because if I know which one is mine. lol.  My guess would let everyone know by default which one it was.

I see the notifier only works every 10M exp because i'm 800k xp off of 70m fish xp

But nice letter ^^ really enjoy it

very nice...great way to keep up on everything

You're all doing awesome work. Thank you for keeping this clan great!

Here are my absolutely terrible guesses for Two truths:

Set one: IR Shad. Lie=liking to golf
Set two: Sorcha. Lie=Freshman in fourth year?
Set three: Shawn. Lie=never been abroad.

I honestly have no idea, though. All for them are interesting!

Two truths and a lie

2. I like to golf.
3. I like to party. (LIEEEEEE)
