accepted! My application

RuneScape Name: Real Ale
Total level: 2303 (virtual level 2328)
Combat level: 137

Location or Timezone: United Kingdom
Event availability:
Weekdays: Available to do events after 6pm
Weekends: Generally available to attend events at any time on weekends, except the occasional weekend where I might be away.
What kinds of events would you be interested in attending (e.g. Skilling, Minigames, PVM, others)?: I'm not maxed, so any skilling event would be beneficial to me. PVM is something I enjoy on occasion, so I'd be game for some PVM. I'd also be up for any minigame event. Essentially, I see events as a chance for a clan to gather in one place and see each other. I'm a big fan of any and all events, as I love the social aspect of them.

Have you been referred here? If so, by whom? Yes, Lady Spyra.
How can you contribute to our clan?: Although, I'm slightly introverted, I'm sociable when I feel comfortable around people (especially people I know). Therefore, I'd like to think that I could contribute to the Clan Chat, and also get involved in events. I have a degree of experience and knowledge about certain areas of the game that may be useful to other members of the clan, and if I see a question I can answer, I will answer it.
Name other clans you have involved yourself with [please be as detailed as you can]: My first clan was called Corrupted Twilight. I was free to play at the time, and it was the leader of this clan who gifted me my first bond for membership. I was promoted to admin during my time in the clan, and they became like a family to me. I was eventually given leadership after the leader and key ranks stopped playing the game or went inactive. I also stopped playing around the same time, though, and the clan sadly died out.
My second and only other clan was 12th Knight. Again, I got on well with everyone and became an admin after some time. A couple of the key ranks who were so good at making new members feel welcome and included now rarely play, and the clan has now become less of a family and more of a cluster of different friendship groups that don't really interact with one another. I felt I was caught between the different groups and I wasn't enjoying it.

Agreement:

By submitting my application I agree to abide by Surreal's rules and do my best to maintain activity. I'm in compliance with Surreal's multi-clanning rules, and all of the information I've submitted is my own. I am not a part of any botting or real-world trading (RWT) communities.

Do you agree to the above statements? [Yes/No] Yes

Other comments: Surreal looks like a clan that I would really love to become a part of. I joined the Clan Chat as a guest, and everyone was so friendly and welcoming straight away. It's that kind of inclusive, family-like vibe that my previous clan lost, so I'm very excited to await your review of my application.

Application Approved
Welcome to Surreal!

Congratulations! You're our newest member!

Guest in our Clan Chat 'Surreal' so an available staff member (indicated by any key symbol) can get you ranked.

Your HUB (located at the top right of the forums), allows you to track activity and stay on top of things!

HUB

Just on the menu bar on the forums, open the HUB to see at a glance activity information, when our next skill week is and more!

Clan Member Guidelines

First and foremost, you must gain activity points once every 90 days or you'll be automatically purged for inactivity & removed from our clan chat.
HOWEVER, if you're going to be inactive, or not as active, at any time, all you have to do is post on the Absence forum. You will have 6 months from the date you posted to either return OR to post an update on your inactivity just so we know you're still around. Failure to do these things will result in removal, however you're always welcome to reapply if that happens.

Ways to gain activity points: Attending events, gaining 250k xp in our bi-weekly competition, or filling your resource cap (and posting it) at our citadel.

Communicate and participate!
We want you to WANT to be involved! Being social and participating in a clan makes it all the more fun for everyone! We have weekly events and competitions, we have these forums, AND we have a Discord server, all for you to make use of and enjoy.

Make your voice heard!
Have a cool idea? Is there something you'd like to see in the clan? Have constructive criticism? Share it, share it, share it! When the Staff Team release changes, we rely on our members to tell us what they do and don't like. At Surreal, it's not about the staff, it's about our members.
