So, first and foremost, delete the page. Dion is a threat with a horrific influence over his clanmembers, and having his pages up on this wikia is just free advertisement for him. It causes interest and further feeds the flames that fuel World 42's monster. They are the only clan that reaches out to other worlds to recruit, and because of this, they are the clan people think of when they hear "World 42". So, let me tell you a story, seeing as I've had to deal with their harassment both on and off-game since early 2013.

So, my first impressions of Dion weren't from the stories other w42 members would tell, it wasn't from the stories of him metagaming, ignoring the community-set rules of roleplaying, none of that. It was from seeing him and a few other members of TSG go IC in the Rising Sun a year or so after I started to gain a name in the public eye. Since I'd never seen him before, it was pretty cool. I befriended him, tried to interact with him IC but he didn't pay anybody any attention, so I shrugged that off. We chatted casually and such for a while, until Vile needed a Dramen branch to access Zaneris, for a plot I was running. So I got in touch with him, we set up a roleplay, it was pretty fun. Vile and Dion interacted well, they became friends, and we were cool OOC. All's going well.

Vile started making plans to take Falador over after setting up a base on Zaneris, and about a year after that, Dion took Falador. I told Dion that Vile would eventually be trying for the city, and he had no response. So, that was weird. But things started getting bad when he started meeting my other characters, like Jeoffrey and Aisu (Ice Elemental) and Richard. They weren't too partial towards Dion and the way he was running the city, and at one point Dion brought a whole bunch of his clanmembers in to the bar to attack a member of Bravo Company, at the time I was playing Aisu and he isn't fond of unfair fights. So while everyone was typing their actions, Aisu charged and cast an Ice spell, drawing water from the moat around the Castle to summon a wall of ice up around Dion's targets, protecting them from the onslaught. TSG acted like the wall of ice wasn't there, but the members of Bravo Company were recognizing the wall of ice, and so it got hectic, and ended with both sides voiding the interaction and going their separate ways. Dion then messaged me that it wasn't good to cross him, and that he'd remember that.

Things continued like that for a while. I was friendly towards him OOC, but my characters aren't me and so they have their own opinions, some of them liked him and others didn't. Every time a character of mine went against him, he took it personally. It was around this time that I joined TSG to try and show him I wasn't trying to ruin his fun, and gave the clan a shot. I introduced a brand new character, Isamu Kiyoshi, who's an eastern battlemonk. He attended a ceremony, got his robes, I even still have them in the bank. But I didn't enjoy myself, because there were so few other people in the clan that really knew how to tell a story, it was more one or two word actions with stereotypical saradominist speeches ("Hail Saradomin" "Peace be with you" and the like). So I didn't attend many other ceremonies, I went on maybe one parade, and pulled Vile in for an event Dion held on Etrana. Then, my birthday came around. I'd been saving up money for Vile's new armor, which I now have, full Torva. It wasn't going well, and Dion had always been telling me that he had more money than he knew what to do with. So, I sent him a message, "Hey man, do you think for my birthday I could get full Torva? I know it's a huge request, but it'd be really awesome." I sent that over runescape PM, and got no response. He doesn't normally respond the first time because, well, he runs a clan of over 300 people, he's got to be swamped with messages. So I sent it again, a bit shorter this time. "Hey, Dion, yo. My birthday's coming up, could I have full Torva for Vile?" Again, no response, so I sent it to him again over Skype, just so that he'd be able to read it at some point. "Dion, my birthday's coming up, could I have full Torva?" No response, again. So I let it drop. About 2 weeks or so later, Dion messaged me asking why I wasn't going to any events, and I told him I wasn't really enjoying it, and then talked to him about the way he runs his clan. He said "I don't think TSG is the right clan for you", and kicked me. Neya, who was in the clan at the time, told me that he was telling everyone I begged him for Torva and left when I didn't get it.

Now, here's my issue with TSG. Dion goes to other worlds, advertises his clan, pays a few people off, and gets more clanmembers. He asks them to make World 42 their home world, so he's drawing in people who don't roleplay to a roleplay world. He then offers them money to cap at the citadel, 100k a week, and occasionally dishes out money after roleplays depending on how much he likes you (I got 1m from a roleplay with him before, and another time he gave me around.. 100 to 1000 Asgarnian Ales, I forget the exact number). Now, that's fine, to each their own, but my issue lies here - He's introducing people to roleplay, and while he lets them roleplay how they want, he doesn't encourage them to get better at it. I guarantee you that at least 60% of TSG does not roleplay outside of the clan events, they only do it for the money they're offered, and otherwise have no interest in the hobby. So here we are, a clan with 300+ people, 150 or more of which do not see any entertainment in roleplaying, or have a desire to get better at it. But he asks them to help him in fights, and tells them what to type, too. He's hiring bodies to take hits for him, except he doesn't teach them to fight, he doesn't teach them to take hits, he encourages characters that don't make sense in most scenarios and causes general chaos while interacting with other roleplayers because of this, and yet he boasts that he's done more for World 42 than anybody else. He's done more for his clan than anybody else, that's it. He hasn't contributed to World 42's Roleplaying community as much as others have, as much as clans like the Dragonkin Worshippers, the Sicarius, the Amaranth, the Vekons have for example.

So.. A year passes. Vile gets his Torva armor, and is ready to take over Falador. Dion and Sir Bool (Now Sir Brad) still run the city, and so I tell them that Vile plans on attacking. Dion questions why Vile would betray him, and I tell him that as Vile has an incredibly long life span, mortal friendships are unimportant, and he's already gotten all that he would need out of the IC friendship. Dion again takes this personal.. And everything goes to shit. He orders all of TSG to cut contact with me, refuses to talk to me, and makes it so the weeks leading up to the fight are spent arguing instead of working together to make it a fun, fair fight for all parties involved. I do manage to get a message through to Dion through Sir Bool, and ask him to only have 60 roleplayers on their side in total, solely because otherwise it would actually be impossible to see anybody's text because there would be 300+ people sitting around spamming at each other. So they agree, and I get together an army of 30 people to fight them. Neya refuses to listen to Dion's orders of not being my friend and not talking to me, and I'll get to that part after this, it'll probably be a quote in a second message because I've typed so much here. Hell, I'll probably cut this in to two messages. So the deadline happens, we set up, I have an army planted within Falador's army to turn around and betray them and get us entry. I have myself as Vile's son Kurill (Half-Giant with Muscle Dysmorphia), a tribe of barbarians led by the massive Gonad Yaksplitter, and a section of the Longclaw army. We all go in-character, and they blow the bridge up, removing the Longclaws from the fight because they were on the bridge. So Gonad and his group go off to one side of the castle to break the walls apart using one of the windows as a starting spot, and I send Kurill to leap over the small gap in the bridge and use his Giant strength and overdeveloped muscles to first try and rip the porticullis off, which of course fails, and then try and smash a wall down, which works because the explosion had chunked the castle wall.

During the massive war, which I thought was pretty fun, one of TSG's members Quidel Ujara (I think? I can't remember how to spell his last name) betrayed Dion and aided me when around 10 TSG members including Dion surrounded me. They all turned to attack Quidel, who tanked the hits while I rushed at Dion from behind, ready to bowl them all over and start flailing people around, when every TSG member suddenly went OOC and left, not just the squad with Dion but ALL of TSG left the castle. So it was a pretty clean sweep after that, we crushed the remaining White Knights and took over the castle. What came after that was a pretty frustrating forum war, because Dion refused to give up the city while the rest of the Roleplaying community told him he lost the war and the castle, after out-of-character 3rd party witnesses spread what happened through Skype chats. I won the city, but for almost a week Dion refused to give it up, eventually though Bool posted that he was giving up the rights to make the Falador thread to me, and I was finally able to run my POC. About a month after that, Neya stepped forwards.

Neya is a sweet, caring girl, she's friendly and funny and creative. She'd been a member of That Saradomin Group for almost 3 years at the time of this happening, and she had promised Dion Magnan that she would never leave his clan. She was in his higher ranks, which is an achievement if you knew how Dion runs his clan, but things got bad for her when she disobeyed Dion after the order to stop talking to me. She doesn't let other people tell her how to be social, and so she kept in touch with me, we openly joked and laughed in Falador Square leading up to the attack on the city, and continued to be friends after I removed That Saradomin Group from power. One day, however, when I logged in, she messaged me that she had things to tell me. What came after that were things that I still have clear in my mind, she told me that when Dion learned from other members of TSG that she and I were still friends, he first demoted her down a rank in his clan. After that, for the next 3 months, he would verbally abuse her in PM, he'd continue to demote her, he'd have other clanmates belittle her and insult her. Her boyfriend, Vyp, stepped up to call Dion out, and recieved the same treatment. He eventually got to the point where he was threatening to spread her real-life information if she didn't settle down and listen to his orders, and that's when she left the clan. For the next 4 months, she refused to come log in to World 42, she changed her name, and grew distant from the community that came to love her, all because she decided to be friends with someone that Dion didn't like.

So, after I removed Dion from the city due to the above and blacklisted him from my roleplays, he started sending members of TSG to verbally harass me. Some of the harassment I received involved being called a pedophile, an autistic faggot, a dogfucker/zoophiliac, and I was told by one member who's name I forget (This was many years ago, after all,) told me to kill myself. I was, around the same time, taking harassment from Dion over Skype, who informed me he knows where I live, asked me if I was a virgin (Why? I don't know,) and when I finally got pissed and started shouting back at him trying to get everything settled, he told me to stop messaging him because he was getting a blowjob, so I wasn't even allowed to try and settle issues with him. Additionally, after Sarah Rovin went and doxxed my dad's IP address thanks to a skype resolver, he and his clan have been harassing my father with phone calls, pizza orders, and even went so far as to anonymously send a tip of a hostage situation.

Dion Magnan is a threat to World 42's Roleplaying Community, a threat to everybody in his clan if they dare to disobey him, and a threat to anybody who's identity he can find. Approaching him on the matter always generates the same response, the claim that he's never wronged anybody, the claim that everybody is out to get him, and the claim that people dislike him because he has a large clan. He is a sociopath with a victim complex. I ask you to please consider my story, and the possible testimonies and tales of my friends below should Lorelei allow me to post them, to further my point.
