Bulletin - October 2023
Hoods, Clan Quest.
This bulletin hasn't been around for quite some time, but we figured we had more than enough to talk about with you.
82ndAirborne:
Little more than one month ago, we knew of the death of fellow clannie John, aka Dad. 82nd was part of Clan Quest for pretty much all of its existence, to the point where we aren’t sure when he was promoted to the Low Council! John was a mentor to many, especially in the old days when this Clan was full of rowdy teenagers. As we all grew up, he steadily became a legend, an unmovable force of this community.
When I joined in 2015, he was one of those who encouraged me to get the Quest Cape, and the guy that gave me 99 million coins for maxing Smithing. He always did that.
It took me a long time to convince him to participate in his Questaholic interview. He said he didn’t need the spotlight, and that there surely were more interesting people around. He was like that.

82ndAirborne, you won't just be missed. You'll be a reminder for everyone to cherish each other and keep themselves strong and healthy so that they themselves won't have to disappear like you did.
That’s part of a message Alex left in 82nd's Memorial. He said it better than I ever could. So long, friend.
One hundred issues:
It was more than twelve years ago that Daviddts came up with the idea of this magazine. We sadly couldn’t get in touch with him for a ‘would’ve been’ great interview, but you can still learn a bit about the long story of the Questaholic, Clan Quest’s magazine in our wiki (link)
Usually, when we have talked about the magazine in the past, we tend to give special credit to those who have been the Chief Editors for each of the four Questaholic runs. The truth is that there have been many contributors, 58 to be precise, who have put a bit of themselves in this collaborative project. To all of them, to all our interview ‘victims’, and to all our readers across the past decade: Thank you, and here’s to 100 more!

Advent 2023:
Yeah, it’s that time of the year again. The Advent Calendar has already been a thing for three years, and each edition keeps getting better and better. Do you have a recipe you’d like to share? A game you want to livestream? A chess opening you’re dying to tell us about? Aside of contributing with entries and having fun with your clanmates, Advent is also an event we use to donate to a charitable organization. You can read about past iterations here (link)
The Advent Team is starting to take shape, so be sure to contact clan councillor Cireon if you want to take part in organizing and/or coordinating events.
Clan Quest turns 14:
We’re less than 2 months away from Clan Quest’s birthday. Every now and then we’ve celebrated it, either in-game(s) or in Discord. Be sure to plan ahead if you would like to host a special event, be it a drop party or Jackbox! If you need help with organizing and spamming, I’m your guy. November 9, save the date. Go crazy!
-Cabbage bombing for CQ's tenth anniversary.
Dutch is probably becoming CQ’s official language:
Real life meetings of clan members have been present ever since 2010, with RuneFest being key for getting to know each others. Post-Covid and with no RuneFest in sight though, the axis has shifted and the Netherlands has become the primordial meeting place, some have even dared say Utrecht is Clan Quest’s Capital City (*gasp*).
Jokes aside (yes, I’m calling all of that a joke), these meetings have consistently been one of the best things we do. Yes, the wiki pages for them still need to be finished, but you can always ask any attendees to learn from their experience. Make sure to join us next time, you won’t regret it!

Phew. Well, that is all for this edition. Take care, all of you, and see you around! Unhoods.
