Thanks Tom! We try mate
I am hoping to actually get a subforum in the future. Not soon of course, it would probably be well into next year. But hey! I can have dreams, aye?
Wow guys, I was doing some thinking today... about all that our guild has been through. Time for another short speech to bore you all half to death.
A year and a half ago, Billy and I sat inside Pugpratt's Tailoring on Cuba. July 31, 2009. I had recently left a guild that I had made before, one that I erm... didn't do very well at leading. Thats another story though! After staying in another guild for a few weeks, I decided to try again. Billy and I left it, and made another one, in the setting I described above. We both knew that we would be starting from scratch again; trying to build a fortress out of dirt. At first we had confidence. We knew that it wouldn't be easy, but we persisted. It seemed to only grow harder as time went on. There were times when we came close to giving up, even. But something kept us from doing that. Something inside me that kept me from doing that. Our guild slowly grew in size, notoriety, and most importantly, friendship. Perhaps we weren't at the top of the leaderboards, or the most well known guild on Abassa, but that didn't matter, and it took me a while to realize that. But now I know that there is nothing wrong with not being the top guild. I mean, that stuff is nice to have, the popularity and fame, but it isn't what counts. Its the people in it. The people that make it up. You.
This year is beginning to come to a close, and a new one will start up. A new one to plan out, build the guild, and our friendships. Now mates, I want to say one last thing to you.
Thank you. For being the best guild I could ask for. Now lets look back at this wonderful year we had, and look forward to a brand new one, full of new adventures, obstacles, and more!
Hooray for cheesy speeches!
