Emerald Regiment

[Dirty Tom Rackem]

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

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.

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.

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.
