1. What exactly is your job, and what responsibility does that job come with?

 

My job is the Director of Runescape Affairs. Basically, when we decided that we had become more of a gaming clan and less of a Runescape clan, we needed someone to lead all aspects of the Runescape section of the clan, and I was chosen. My responsibilities include basically everything to do with Runescape in-game and on forums, I have a great staff who focus on specific roles within Runescape but everything falls back on me.


2. When did you join Subsistence? Did you think back then it would become what it is today?

 

I joined on December 14th, 2010. I remember that because the first person I talked to was a Canadian named Holy Walk782 and he had joined September 14th 2010, so it was exactly 3 months off. When I joined I was poorer than a homeless man and a lower level than Smurf, and I didn't know anything about anything, I was literally an infant. There was already a rich history in Subsistence when I got here, which is gone now (thanks Steph) but I had no idea we'd be so..diverse as we are today.


3. Has there ever been a moment where you thought your job was too demanding? If so what was it?

Back when I was in the yearbook staff I had to put together a Yearbook from all the screenshots I took over the course of the year, and it was due December 25th and I didn't actually start working on putting the video together until December 24th, and that kinda sucked but the video turned out well so boo ya!

4. Have you ever given thought to how long this clan will exist in the future and how it will change?

There's been a lot of talk about Runescape being a dying game, and so theoretically the active memberbase that will want to join clans will diminish. I think that there will always be a market for community based no level clans, so whether it be with Runescape or branch off to a different main game I think Subsistence will thrive for a while longer.

5. Do you actively play any certain games? Or your all time favorite game is?

I DARE you to challenge me in FIFA (unless your name is Bunny). I play that crap all day everyday, beast mode! I play Runescape actively, I go on CS:GO every once in a while when I want to get my hopes and dreams crushed. My all time favorite game might have to either be Halo 3, or NFL Street. I'll marry you right here right now if you're an NFL Street fan.

6. What is the most memorable moment you've had with this clan? (example: funny conversation you had or moment in game)

 

This question bothers me, because I know for a fact I've had memorable moments all the time in this clan, but I can't pinpoint one as a definite favorite. Being in Subsistence is like doing heroin, you get high all the time and have buckets of laughs, and then they all start to blend together the longer you do it. If I had to pick one I'd say this past summer there was a stretch where Momo Steph and I wouldn't sleep, and we'd just chat all day everyday and when it got to be around 2 AM EST or 7 AM GMT, EVERYTHING WE SAID MADE OUR SIDES HURT. #neverforget #whatsapp

 

 

7. What is your working relationship with Turds (your assistant) like? And how does that affect your social relationship with him?

 

My working relationship with Turds is kinda like me being a student and Turds being a janitor. I trash the place everyday in class and then the next day the classroom is always clean again. You don't really see the janitor work that often during the day, but the work always gets done. He does more around here silently than I can thank him for. It doesn't affect our social relationship at all I'd say, if something needs to get done like one of us will always volunteer to do it, and in return the one who's not working makes black jokes or gains xp.

 

8. Obviously you are the Administrator in this clan, but do YOU have any suggestions or ideas you would like to see implemented into the clan that aren't already in place? Any programs or ideas you would want to bring back?

 

Bring back peng hunting every wednesday, and troll invasion/god statues the first of every month. That would be spot on.

 

 
I would like to thank Fenway for taking the time to fully answer each of these questions. I hope this gave you some insight on one of our Admins
