Ahoy :piratewheelgo2: I was wondering if I could get a code for the test guild?

Ahoy mates, I know it has been awhile since I have been on, tis the life of a chef.... The season is here where I am so busy I can barely keep up with myself, and on top of that I am in the process of moving into a much larger house with more space to accomodate my catering. I am going to try and log in once and a while, if for nothing else just to say hi to my fellow comrades in arms.

I hope all are having a great summer.

Phishy-

(((((( Phishy!!! ))))) i hope everything is going well! i do miss talking with you....and the pvp... hope to see you soon!!
~Sammy

Thanks for the promotion
 

It has been a long time since I wrote in this thread. I have been busy at work. Thanks to Blade for promoting me to officer. Congradulations to everyone else that was promoted. Hey Phishy2na, glad to hear from you again. Sammy congrats on your sailing achevements.

Congratulations to Lord Day on his new promotion - I'm sure Blade made another fine decision ;)

Congradulations Lord Davy for your new promotion to Guild Master. I know you will be a good one. Blade will be missed. :sp003:

Congrats, Davy. Now, on a somewhat related note, I will be completely inactive from today until next Saturday (July 9th) cause Im going on vacation. Cya people in a week!

Good luck to you Blade on your future endeavors, it was great having you as a GM. You will be missed by many.

I have been pretty inactive for the last couple of months as well (work & RL stuff) but hope to come back more regular very soon. Congrats to Davy on the GM role.

:HO4thSmiley013: We need to have a guild meeting with the changes that have happened recently with our guild. I also think it would be a good idea to have some guild events. Maybe SVS, PVP, or raids. What do you all think? I have less than 500 infamy points to get before I become Admiral in SVS. I should get it in a few days. I hope everyone has a good holiday.


Happy Independance Day


:HO4thSmileyFirework

My POTCO online time
 

This forum is great for letting other members know when guild members will be on POTCO.

I will not be on POTCO until later in the evenings during the week. On some Tuesdays and all Thursdays, I will not be on at all. This Saturday, July 9th, I will not be on until late.

I have been working on getting our guild members to join this forum. :knife:

Sammy, Fridays the 8th, today is the 7th :) hmmm

is it Thurs. or Fri.?
and, just putting my opinion out there, I'd like some change in Emerald.
Hector, ER Vet :piratear:
*EDIT*
aww its friday :( cant make it... cya Emeralds!

Will try to make it to the meeting Friday :D

-Davy

I Hope Everything Is going well! Happy 4th all :)

Back from vacation, not much has changed it looks like. :O

Ahoy guildies!
Just wanted to let everyone know I won't be on as much over the next couple of weeks. Some family issues have come up and I have to deal with them.
Make sure to leave some rum for me! :piratear:

-Cy

Uh, what was so important to actually schedule a meeting, but not post any changes? I had no connection Friday, I wanna know what happened.

OK changing the subject, I went to the home page of POTCO, and saw Mark Stormbreaker, a member of our own guild, was named a Savvy Swashbuckler! Congrats to him!

ATTENTION:
This is just a reminder to ALL officers/veterans: We are currently not guilding any new members at the moment.

Thank you

:piratebo5:
Hello Emeralds!!
Does anyone want some change for this guild, or things stay the way the are? Should we have more scheduled events weekly, or even bi-weekly? What do you, the guild member, Veteran, or Officer of the Proud Emerald Regiment, want to happen to your guild? Feel free to post your ideas of what should be the future to Emerald Regiment.
Remember, every opinion counts ;).
Thank you, Emerald Regiment. :pirate2:

sorry for the double post.
Is anyone still active? i havent seen and POF users active.
sorry about this. just, no one is active, no one seems to be active on here either. i think its time for me to leave. I am sorry about this. i wish i could stay, just Emerald Regiment isn't what it used to be. I wish I could help, but i dont see anyway i can. Fair seas, Mighty Emerald Regiment.
Hector, former Emerald Regiment Veteran :piratear:

My fellow pirates,

It is in times like these where I am sure all of you are beginning to wonder if it's really worth it anymore.

A wise man once said that friendships are formed in times of prosperity, but are tried in times of trial. And for the most part, this is true in all situations - after all, it's easier for most people to befriend a man who has just won the lottery than a man who was just arrested for thievery. And this not only applies to friendships, but to many things - family, work, school, and even guilds.

I remember back when PIC first fell apart. We were all quickly separated in to groups - the ones who walked away, and the ones who held down the fort. It was a very hard thing for many of us to see all the work we had put in to this guild just go up in smoke, because we had pirates had dedicated any time we could to make that guild great. And many a people within our circle were disheartened, because they knew that chapter was over.

But, life is like a book. It may have good chapters and bad chapters, but even after a horrific one it's not over til it's over, aye? There are still plenty of chapters after the one you just finished, and unlike a book, where the author has written their fate, you write your own story - you and you alone are left to make your life great.

I won't go in to detail here, as over the course of the next few days and weeks I have decided to once again work as a man behind the scenes to help your guild. But as for the members, the pirates who make a guild not a guild, but a family, I must say this:

When PIC fell apart, the pirates who left were left with the thought that things would never get better. And now as I stand here, as the Guildmaster of a guild with numerous distinctions, respects and dignities, that has lasted over two years and just about to peak at 200 quality members, with the majority of the pirates who stayed now being a part of that distinguished circle, I ask you - who do you think made the right decision? ;)

I leave you the pen. Start writing.

A friend

Hector, find Slouyx

I STILL wanna know why my ranking in the guild (not on the forums, on POTCO) says Officer when Im really a Veteran....... Just a little confused. D:

Now is not the time to abandon ship
 

CONGRATS to Mark Stormbreaker for being named Savvy Swashbuckler.

I believe that this guild is still a great guild dispite Blade going inactive. It is up to us to keep the guild strong and I am sure Blade would not want us to let this guild die. Lord Davy wants us to hold off on recruiting new members, which I agree with fully. We need to come together as a guild. I think that we need to use this thread to post when guild events are happening, achievements, loot like famed weapons, guild stats, and when guild members are coming online into POTCO. I miss those things but we can do them ourselves.

I will be on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 9 pm. I don't know about Saturday. Does anyone want to loot ships on Wednesday and Friday? If you do, see me and pass it on to other members. Thank you.

Admiral Dirty Tom Rackem, svs :piratewheelgo2:

P.S Sharpshooter, the only thing that I could think of as to the reason you show as an officer an not a veteran is that Blade promoted you before he left. He did alot of promtions that day.

Me, an officer? Psh. I don't think I'm exactly "Officer Material", but I guess I'm the only one. :/

Anyway, can someone link me to the avatars? Don't feel like searching for the officer thing.

Aye aye to that!

I recently rejoined Emerald again on Admiral Savvy in hopes that I, along with others, can help to rebuild this guild to its former glory. Like Del said, this is the exact same thing that happened to PIC. And if the Partners legacy could thrive despite that loss, who said that the Emerald legacy can't?

Things aren't going to magically change for the better unless action is taken.
For those Officers/Veterans who left because of the inactivity: The reason Blade promoted you was, in part, because you care so much for the guild and showed that you were willing to do whatever it takes to take this guild to the top and beyond. It's easy to say, and even think, that you'll do whatever it takes to care for your guild when it's bustling with activity, but it's times like these that put what you said to the ultimate test. Are you going to forget what you said and walk away, or are you going to stick to your word (Very un-pirate-like, but still) and help your guild in its time of need?

For those of you who are thinking about returning: Do it. Even if you were just a member during your time, we need all of the help that we could get. It's not the GM, Officers or Veterans that can do this alone; for they'd be without a job if it weren't for the members. Our primary goal at this time is to unify and embolden the few people that we have now; we can't possibly think about reverting back to our recruiting ways if we ourselves don't have faith in the same guild that we're inviting people into.

Don't get me wrong. The road to recovery will be bumpy, but it's the drive of Emerald that'll determine how long we'll have to endure the bumps. We can either do nothing and complain about how inactive this guild has become, or we can unleash that inextinguishable flame that's the spirit of Emerald Regiment and use it to show to everyone here that the loss of a GM isn't enough to stop us.

I would like to take a moment to thank all of the people outside of ER who are willing to give us an extra hand at this time. It brings a smile to my face to see that we have friends who'll aid us as well. :buds:

I rejoined Emerald for three reasons:
1) It always did have a spot in my heart, even after I left.
2) Every contribution helps. And I'm not going stand by and let a guild that was once home to such great memories fall.
3) I truly believe that we have what it takes to restore the guild.

I don't intend on being proven wrong.

Courtesy of Kate! :]

Thanks, good to have. Gonna keep my current avatar, though. (Love FFX :D)

Thanks for the Guild Avatars Kate. Also thanks to AdmiralSavvy for posting the link. :dancetl6:

I have something that came up. I will not be on POTCO tomorrow, Friday. I will be on Sunday. Maybe we can have a guild ship race on a quiet server. Can someone run that by Lord Davy when you see him? I don't see him very often.

I agree with Admiral Savvy!

Emerald has always been my family and I love the times that I have spent with all of you. Even though I haven't been online as often as in the past, I still plan to continue to make Emerald the finest and friendliest guild in all of POTC. ((( Blade ))) thank you for all you have done for me, and to the rest, again thanks much for helping me navigate all the ins and outs of this game - without you I'd never have enjoyed it as much!

I have a great amount of work commitments and family issues at the moment, but I wanted to stop in and say "Hey!"! I hope to see you all again soon!

Cheers Mates!

-- Rachel --

Wait, now Im confused again. If I'm an officer why am I NOT an officer on the forums? Sorry if this is getting repetitive, but I'm getting annoyed by the inconsonance. On an unrelated note I shall now be logging on. :p

Sorry to hear about the issues happening with our guild, I have not been on regularly since May but have been reading the forums every so often. I hope to get back to pirates after summer when RL settles down a bit and will try and help all I can with the guild.

Ship race event for Friday night
 

I have an idea for a fun guild event. This Friday at 9pm CST we will have a ship race starting from Isla Perdida going towards Isla Tormenta, then around outside of Padres del Fuego, and finishing at Isla Cangrejos. Then, we can have the ship races include having to sink a number of ships at certain levels before finishing. Players are not allowed to port or tp. They can repair at sea. Who ever gets to me, on Cangrejos, first wins. I'm planning this on Friday at 9 pm CST, 10 pm EST, 8 pm MST, 7 pm PST. Please pass it on and remember this is for fun.
:7c810c6517:

I would join, but my ship level stinks, and cause you might have to sink ships, I'd probably lose xD. Unless you can have people cannoning on the ship. :p

Update to ship race
 

When we start, we are just going to race with no sinking ships. Then, we can form groups for the race with sinking ships. Each team will determine who will steer and who will be on cannons. I will keep time from when we start. I will take note of the ships playing. This is something new I added to this event. Each ship needs to take note of the level of each ship being sunk. The level determines how many seconds come off of the ships time.

Example: The War Sloop, Red Wrath, sank 3 ships: ship1, lvl 33; ship2, lvl 10; ship3, lvl 23. For a total of 66 seconds off of racing time of 4 min and 50 sec. So Red Wrath's time is 3 min and 44 sec.

You can use any ship and attack any enemy ship. I hope to see you Friday.

What Events Emerald Regiment Members want to happen?
 

Hey Emeralds,

What guild events you want to see happen? Raids, PVP, SVS, ect... Also, when do you come on pirates? We could schedule events that happen a number of times during the day. I want to get activity back into this guild.

If we come together, we can do it.

Admiral Dirty Tom Rackem :piratewheelgo2:

Island Raid
 

Which island you ask? We will vote on it. It will be on Wednesday, August 10th at 8 pm central time. It will be a lot of fun. I hope to see everyone there.
:dancetl6:

Hi Emerald Regiment, I would like to join you guys! I have a pirate without a guild

Hey mates, I am planning to do daily QAR and boss battle runs, what do you guys think?
-Davy

p.s. I'll get you a guild code Jack

Hey Davy, that sounds good. :laughks2:

BUMP. Yay?

MIA (missing in action)
 

Sorry, I have not been on in a while. Between computer issues, family, and work obligations I have been busy. I will keep ya'll updated on when I'll be in the game. I should be back soon.

Admiral Dirty Tom Rackem :piratewheelgo2:

Almost nobody has been on lately. It's depressing. We used to have 400+ people, now we're hovering around 350.

A big congrats to Sassy Sam! Emerald Regiment lives on with a new GM. Now lets get ER rocking again :dancetl6: See you all in game :) :buds:

ANOTHER GM? This guild is changing GMs way to fast. >_< Still, congrats.

Hiya guys!
Sharp, this time the GM wont quit, i can promise that! (:

Best of luck to the new guildmaster of Emerald Regiment! You've got a lot of work to do, but I know that you can do it. If you stick together, and if you don't give up, you can come back out as one of the strongest guilds in the Caribbean. Times can be tough sometimes, but things will get better, as long as you give it your all.

Best of luck Emerald Regiment, and especially to your new guildmaster!

Thanks Tiberius! I will make sure to do well (:

Hola Emeralds!

New guild positions are as followed:

Guildmaster - Samantha Searatte(Ronny's First Mate)

Co-guildmaster- Captain Ron

Vice Guildmaster - Thunderkiss ( Fallyn Imaklutz, Nikki Darksmythe, TK D'Moon)

Head officers - Gorgie, Kab, Will Swordstealer

Its my guild code, and I want it now!

Its your guild code, use it when you need it.

lol, just wanted to tell the Emeralds my current situation.

Its been about 10 months now since I joined the ER, and I'm proud to say its one of the best guilds I've ever been in. I wish I could be more active, but unfortunately RL calls me back to its uninviting clutches. I feels borderline painful to be away for so long, such has been the case with me. I hope sometime in the future I can become active once more, and be more involved in the guild.

Ivan Hood ~ Mr. Skippy

CC go on pirates i will guild you xD

and Ivan, thanks for telling us! we will give you a warm welcome when you come back! :D

~ Sammy

Grats to you Sammy on your new GM role as well as others who have kept ER going during some tough times. I should be more active in the guild now (was actually on Friday and Saturday) that RL has settled a bit.


Rum for all ER mateys! :buds:


Johnny

If you do not know already, I have a pirate in ER named Sarah Barrelburn. There is one person that should know that and that be Sam

Will Swordstealer, Capt Shruikan, and Blackbeard are no longer allowed in the guild. Also, Will Sword is no longer a head officer.

And why not dear Samantha?

Emerald Regiment.

Even though time are hard, ye cannot give up! You are a very strong guild. If there is any way i can help, you guys have my full support.



:pirate30:

Been a while guys
 

Hey Mates, This is Blade. Im so very sorry that im not around to be with you all through the thick and thin of the carribean any more. I have not had time to come and visit because "real life" kicked in very hard. Every pirate must leave the game from time to time. I had an amazing 5 years. The amount of people I met through pirates is to great to be known. As for my Emerald Regiment. Ive recently heard of hardships after my absense. Even though a few of the original members still exsist, its important to remember even if your in another guild, Live as a pirate, party like a pirate, and dont do anything Blade wouldnt approve of ^_-

Sammy, take good care of my Emeralds, and thank you, Youve been a amazing friend through my time as a pirate and I couldnt give you enough praze.

PS, CC - Steelers are going to the super bowl this year. Boom! -just happened-

[/QUOTE]

- tears - Im blushing :D

Hiya Blade :) Sarah Barrelburn here just saying hi and the guild is doing well with Samantha as the guild master ( always samantha or sam to me my friend ;) )

o.m.g. BLADEY!!! you made me cry :P i miss you so much Blade and hope to see you and your sailing lil bottom on pirates soon! and as for Emeralds i am doing my best, as i always did when you were there with us. I just can't wait to see your smiling face with us again once a month (:

Cheers!

ps. Blade - JETS = Just Eliminating The Steelers - soooooo they gonna win boy <3 :D

Change Cannonbane on forum users to WeirdBeard. Shoot me a code Bitte.

Sorry Jack, I had to log earlier, Im sure Sam will shoot you a code, but If I log before she does ( probably not ), I will haha xD

Sammy is on top of it no worries Bladey /flex. im so good - kisses muscles - Come back soon Bladey <33 we miss you!

<3Sam

Left the guild.

Good luck to you in another guild Insomniac and best wishes from me.
