Modern Warfare

[Tal]

Before you read, this isn't about the video game. In fact, the subject is a clever misconception created by myself in order to lure unsuspecting gamers to read my post! However, the literal meaning of the words come into play in what I'm about to explain.

 

Two months ago, Zo|Austin, retired from rs. IR was in the middle of a slump, things got harder. We had been through two memberlist hackings since the Summer, and three site hackings. It was understandable, his clan IR had been alive for two and a half years.

 

Unfortunately, IR without Zo is like a videogame without a controller, or a computer without a keyboard. As much as you try, it won't work.

 

Time after time the Staff tried, being beaten down by this horrible slump. People didn't join, idiots kept leaving and messing things up... after a while our spirit was getting hammered.

 

On the other hand, there was nothing to look forward to in success. The Pure World sucks. You're either pulling 70's... or you're not. And as you can see, we were not. Modern pure warfare was stupid, no one could ever claim a win without it being denounced by others, no one could win a war without opts; in fact, it seemed sometimes like big clans such as TLP, E, EOP, FOE, and MM were the only clans that could actually do anything.

 

IR was the best clan to me. You can say what you want, and in all honesty, I haven't been in many clans. But what was special about IR was its superb community. No other clan currently has a community like IR's, and very few in the history of the Pure World have. Epidemic is the closest recent one. Unfortunately, this amazing community was plagued by a very aggravating misfortune; it always received the short end of the stick.

 

Some of you may be snickering; others reading without a care in the world, and a few even reading emotionally (ex-Clan members). But of all of you, very few can understand what IR achieved. You head out week in, week out, to PK, you fight, and in the end, it doesn't matter. You have fun when you win, and troll/flame when you lose (exceptions are out there, some people don't get angry). However IR was the clan that always had fun. Yeah, we got mad too sometimes, and flamed (a lot at one point in our history), but overall, as a clan, we enjoyed ourselves. Our vent during wars was always amusing, on any given weekend at any given time of the day, whether 20 minutes before a trip or at 3am, there were always a few people talking, chilling, just having fun; the point of a pure clan based on community.

 

After a lot of in-depth talk with the members, I've learned a lot about myself, and what I want for IR. I decided to stay open, until later on that week our site and ml got hacked again- our reputation for always getting the worst decided to come back to haunt us. After several more leaving posts, Junior and I decided it was finally time. The stress and pressure was gone, and sadly, it was IR's time.

 

Some quotes from IR Members:

 

<Anthoni> It was fun, changed the way I looked at clans. Amazing community even at the very end. Best pure clan ever<3

 

<`Fresh> Proud to have been IR Warlord.

 

<[iR]B0n3d|Jaime> Thanks for the remaining IR that stayed with us, we knew then that these were our loyal members. <[iR]B0n3d|Jaime> I couldn't ask for more.

 

<Casey`> It was a great run IR, my time I spent with you guys taught me alot

 

<Ev> It was a great run, spamming "IR" will forever be my first instinct to spam when I'm calling piles. 2 Years seems like a long time, but with all the fun and great memories it seems like yesterday that I was using lobsters at GDZ vs Th. I love you IR and I love every single member.

 

<muse> Great Clan, always loved being apart of it. Witnessed it go through every stage of its life, start to finish, the good and the bad. Just wish I could've seen it go on and reach new heights. I will always remember IR.

 

<[The][shane]> Wasn't in it for the loot, nor for the glory, nor for the wars, but for the luls... And there were many. I'll always miss the good times.

 

<walowalo> No matter how bad things got I enjoyed every moment in IR and it made my Rs experience way better than it would have been if I never joined.

 

<Deshon> Had fun with you guys enjoyed the clan. Z0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

 

<Owen> IR was incredible for what we were, and those who couldnt see that don't deserve to be have been allowed to. We were like no other. Who else would have kept on going that long when all the odds were against them. We've come back from worse things than this before but maybe this was just one too many. The amount of times i've ****** about with IR, with threatening to leave or straight up walking out, i'm proud to say i was here at the finish line.

 

<dotfire> <3 IR i love you

 

<[RIP-IR]Dragon|Xhesi|Albania> 28th August 2009, the day I joined IR, the day which began the real runescape experience, thank you all Intense Redemption Members, letting go has been the hardest thing i have experienced in my entire runescaping career. Much Love, Dragon.

RIP IR

 

Will never forget<3

[Speshls]

Shame... Still remember first time I heard of IR and they smashed TH in Melee only fight in PCL 1.

[Ivp]

Despite everything thats gone on between the two clans we were apart of I suppose there was an underlying similarity between our clans and its sad to see IR close. It was a unique clan and is a shame that it had to come to this.

 

Goodluck any IR who continue to play this game

[Gack]

GL guys, I always liked IR. <3

[Dragon Of Albania]

forever in my heart

[Asher]

Wilderness was boring today, one of the only clans that would fight outnumbered or when the odds are against them. We had our issues but we had the fighting spirit in common, for that respect.

[0ynxx]

Your welcome? sounds like it lol

[Rangepoonpkr]

R.I.P IR

[rasol46483655]

=\, Goodluck IR members

 

Gf pure world, its coming to an end

[Shaner223]

Anyone whos glad about ir closing can blow my ****. unless a staff member really didnt like you or there was a good reason for a kb, if you joined irclan and said "ir sucks" or "ir blows" you could always expect some stupid come back from one of our brilliant members that always left you looking dumber than anyone else in the channel. you thought about what you said, realized that your fighting over a really dumb game over the INTERNET and then laughed about it later. heres a few quotes of convos that i would like to add. things like this is what kept me in ir till the day it died.
