Constitution Changes
We are still working our way through the changes introduced in the Constitution. While implementing the changes, we have already found some areas for improvements, so expect some amendments to be suggested soon.
First of all, we wish to create an official Hoodian Council, to make sure that the position of the Hood is established in our clan. We also want to add an official clan uniform (i.e. hoods), and membership requirements will start to include an exam to test the hoodiness of the new members and the ability to make some hood puns.
Offsite Changes Preview
As always, the offsite continues to be under development by our newest Clan Council member, Shane. We aim to continuously improve the website and we have an exciting set of new changes coming to you very soon. Below is a sneak preview of what we're planning to ship to you this month. Click the image to see a full version.
New Quest Teaser
While visiting GDC last week - the Game Developer's Conference - I ran into some JMods. Of course, the topic of the Hoodian faith could not remain unmentioned. The JMods actually told me they had become aware of it, and wanted to give it an official place in the game. They told me they are producing a quest around it to be released with the Camelot graphical rework. Some teasers follow below, so beware of spoilers!
The new quest will integrate with the King Arthur series, and feature Robin Hood as main protagonist. At some point in the quest, Robin Hood will by accidentally kill a god (I kept trying to figure out which one, and how, but the mods were very tightlipped about this), causing him to ascend. Robin is unsure about what to do with his new powers, but none of the gods want to help him figure out what the powers do, so finally he turns to Brassica Prime. They end up teaming up to spread deliciousness (= food) equally amongst everyone, and people start to honour Robin Hood by using "hood day" instead of "good day". This eventually turns into "hoods", and the Faith was born. No ETA on this quest yet, but definitely worth keeping an eye out for!
Your new HoHooC
As you have seen, earlier in March we elected our first Head of the Hoodian Council. The Clan Council has already mantained top tier conversations with AlphaLeo, who will become the de facto leader of our clan. This was decided after seeing the impact of The Faith amongst our members. The HoHooC has also decided that the clan hierarchy will be as follows: The Hood -> The HoHooC -> The Hoodian Council -> The Shoodian, Jiidian, Hoofian and Paw.fian ambassadors -> Clan Council -> Respective Honour and Guild Councils.
That's all for this month, my Hoodian friends. Have a Hood April, and I will see you all in the next Hoodaholic bulletin for May!

Excerpt from the Clan Wiki:
| "The Hoodian Council was born in the center of the storm, some days after the Clan Quest Constitution of 2018 was ratified unanimously by its members. With the RuneScape Guild and Honour Councils electing heads, the Hood thought it was time. March 15, 2018 saw the beggining of the nomination proccess, where any full member of Clan Quest could nominate any suitable clan quester for the HoHooC position.
There were 8 nominees: AlphaLeo; Choto 3000 (rejected the nomination); Santa Ends (rejected the nomination): Quest Kitty (didn't meet all the requirements); Xenon Ray; PTV Suli; Foxtortle; Huncho Rei. After 5 days of nominations, the election period was opened. Any form of pressure, bribery, fraud, threats or typically illegal actions were totally acceptable, so chaos arised for the next 3 days. As the voting was so tremendously chaotic, it was decided that, after the elections were closed, a special committee was being created to count all the votes, with the authority being the Head for the Head of Hoodian Council Election Committee. But before that, another committee was created to see if a committee to count votes for the HfHoHooCEC was actually necessary. Roadsick was then appointed as Head of the Comitee to see if we needed a comitee to count votes for the HfHoHooCEC, and chose Choto 3000 and Foxtortle as companions. With 2 votes against 1, it was determined that a HfHoHooCEC was needed. The following Clan Questers were nominated for such important position: Roadsick; PTV Suli; Choto 3000; Nex Sicarium. With 3 votes each, both Roadsick and Choto became the Heads for the Head of the Hoodian Council Election Committee. After almost 1 hour of counting, where it was thought Choto had escaped with the urns, it was announced that, with around 10,000,003,200 votes (out of a clan of 400), Choto 3000 was becoming the first Head of the Hoodian Council. (However,) Choto 3000 had expresed many times he was not willing to assume as HoHooC. But general pressure put him directly under The Hood. During his short mandate, he established that the HoHooC has the right to have more than just 2 fellow Hoodians as its council. He then appointed his Council, which consisted on AlphaLeo, Xenon Ray, Foxtortle, PTV Suli and Huncho Rei. After that, having been on power for 1 hour and 5 minutes, he resigned his position as HoHooC in favour of AlphaLeo and left the Council for good." |
Let me present you to:
Head of the Hoodian Council
"My fellow hoodians: It is with a great honor that I, Leo, accept the position as the Head of the Hoodian Council. And as the head, the objectives of the council will be to spread and uphold the word of the Hoodian Faith to all corners of the clan, to combat those who wish to destroy the faith, to spread memes of all kinds and to continue to make new typos of the word 'Hoods'. From Questcaping's 'Shood' to Shane's 'Hoof', there are no shortage of typos. Furthermore, with the help of my fellow councilors Xenon, Whiskey, Suli , Rei, the Jiidian Ambassador Nex, the Hoodian High Priest Choto and all the other loyal Hoodians, we shall win the war against the Pawfia! Despite all the hardships we've had to endure, the Hoodian Faith has never wavered once and it will continue to stand strong under my watch. And as always, hoods. :Hoods:"

Wait a second... -You may say- What are the HOOD Awards??
The HOOD Awards stand for Hoodian Observation of Outstanding Devotees, and it is the highest order of the Hoodian Faith. To be given only by The Hood to the most loyal followers.
PS: Please remember no hoodian is better than other just because they won a HOOD edition. You're already a winner if you converted to the faith. Congratulations to Nex, Shane, Questcaping, Suli, Rei, Xenon, Whiskey and Leo. See you next month, unhoods!

Final chapter
The elegy of the hood
Tyco exited the hospital. From Seth's story, he had to save Cireon and he had to do it fast. But....how?
- Looking for a solution?
Tyco stopped and looked at the man in bronze armor further down the corridor. The blacksmith approached him while holding his hammer tight.
- Choto? I'm sorry, but we can't smith us out of this one.
The blacksmith raised a finger and pointed it between the eyes of the elf. Although one couldn't see the eyes from the full helmet, Tyco suspected he was giving him an intiminading look.
- Do not underestimate the power of the hoodian faith.
And without giving the elf a second to react, Choto broke a teletab.
- What are we doing at Edgeville?
- Just bringing out the heavy arsenal.
Choto opened the door with such a force the elf found it a miracle it remained on its hinges.
- Dave! Do you have the "hood"?
Evil Dave stopped sweeping and looked like a child who just were given a box of candy.
- Yes. YEESSS! THE ULTIMATE HOOD OF DOOOOOOM! The one hood that shall engulf the world in eternal darkness!
- Perfect! I need it now!
Dave snapped his left hand and a hellrat came up the basement with a purple hood. The elf couldn't believe his eyes.
- Is this a joke?
- As much as there's feathers on a chicken. Now Dave, say the ritual for us.
- DOOM DOOM DOMELI DOOOOOOOOOMM!!
Cireon was astonished, afraid and lost. Actually, even more than that. Or any of those, whatever. He was in a very bad situation with the master of souls, Nomad. He swallowed. Nothing could save him now, a small little pure innocent maiden in love with such muscular abs of......wait a minute. What kind of junk am I saying? Someone must have changed the script! Who did thi--
[BONK] [POFF] [SHHHHH]
Ahem, never mind that. And suddenly the hoodians came to the rescue as a result of THE ULTIMATE HOOD OF DOOM insta-teleport-from-all-over-the-world! Nomad was outnumbered, but yet to taste defeat.
- TASTE MY WRATH!
I equi [Ahem] I mean Choto equipped THE ULTIMATE HOOD OF DOOM and headbutted the sphere of unimaginable destructive power. By the overpowered ability of reflecting attacks, it returned back to Nomad at twice the speed! Nomad barely grasped what happened before he found himself on the floor, defeated and defenceless. A dark shadow approached him.
- Join the collection my dear hoodian.
Sliske, the evil hoodian mahjarrat put on a dark hood on the head of Nomad. Before THE ULTIMATE HOOD OF DOOM could insta-kill the villan he had already vanished into the shadow realm. And so the battle was won.
- Could someone help me please?
Choto looked at the chained leader of Clan Quest. He then pulled out a long list hidden in his smithing skillcape.
- Hmm, maybe. We do have a couple of demands.
- Shoot.
- Sira is to become a slave follower of the Hoodians.
- Granted.
- And so is the entire High Council.
- Granted.
- And the entire clan shall have hoods for breakfast, eleventies, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner and supper.
- Granted now free me.
Choto headbutted the chains with THE ULTIMATE HOOD OF DOOM. The chains squealed and turned to dust.
Then on the seventh day, Choto rested
