I should be able to be on more this weekend too, so hopefully I'll get acquainted with everyone.

Great guild so far. Lotta good, caring and helpful members. Now, if I could only get will a few more levels.

[CaptainGreenGene]

Gentleman,

I have been in several guilds prior to this. Some were small, active guilds that were nothing more then a few friends sharing some quality time together. I have also been in several larger guilds, one of which I was the GM for almost a 8 months. One thing I can say is the larger the guild, the more trouble. Adding members just for the sake of members is always going to come back and bite you in the "end".

I'm happy to have found a friendly, understanding and non-judgmental group of pirates that shares my love of the game. No matter how many members we ultimately add, lets keep that small guild friendliness and spirit alive and continue to share quality time together as we grow.

Suggest an Event!
Well, now that we got a few members in the guild it'd be nice to start a few weekly or bi-weekly events, like sailing fleets or such. If you have ideas, post them here! (Just not too many, we don't wanna over-organize ourselves... we are pirates after all!)

Note: The blogs are only for suggestions to improve the guild and for ideas. All comments to my blogs are moderated, and blogs will only be open for comments until the date stated. Regular guild chat, promotions, demotions, new recruits, events, etc. will and should still be discussed here in the thread. If you see this...

...at the top of a post in this thread, from now on it will mean there's something in the post linked to our blog.

Also, Updated...

New Members:
Week of 4/11/09

Happy Easter Pillagers! I hope to see you all in-game sometime today!

[Jack I]

Aye, Hoppy Easter to you all!

Have a "Hoppy" Easter all you Highsea Pillagers!

I don't have much to be doing on this fine day, so I should be in and out of the game. Last week was a wonderful week for the guild, here's to hopes that this week will be just as great!

[VixyVixon]

Happy Easter Pillagers!

See you all later in the game, after our Easter dinner here.

Congrats on your maxxing, Matthew! Still working on redoing the gallery so your page isn't up yet, but still got your glow photo.

[jason davy]

Wahoo, way to go Matt!!

[CaptainGreenGene]

Thanks! We had a very fine guild event going there
for a while with much dancing and grog all around
compliments of Gunner (actually I permanently
"borrowed" some of his private stash)

New Pillager Gallery!

Aye, I finally got the new gallery on the site set up this morning. It be a lot more work to maintain now, but it also be much more organized! Some features of the new gallery.

Homepage & Navigation! - The gallery on our site now has a homepage split into three categories, that way all the images are stored on one page. Then, the main categories are split into sub-categories. (If you want to return to the homepage or just go back a page, there's navigation options to do that, too!)

Low Resolution Galleries! - I realized that having all those pictures on one page may make viewing a bit slow, so now in each gallery there is an option to switch between the high and low resolution galleries! The High Resolution galleries have thumbnails of the photo, while the low resolution galleries are all text.

Maxxing Members' Pages! - I decided one neat thing to do would be to have a category where each member of the guild get's their own page when they hit level 40, so these maxxing pages were born! Matthew Redskull's page is currently up, why not go check it out!

Also, don't forget to send me pictures you may have of events we have, maxxings, or even guild graphics. I may even set up a new category for general guild photos, but if I do that's well into the future.

---------------------------


Also, don't forget that we're still looking for ideas for some small, recurring guild events! Let us know your ideas in the Pillager Plotroom blog, "Suggest an Event!"

[Jack I]

Argh, there be some promotions!

Aye, this week with the guild beginning to grow by the day and all, I've decided to let one of our more active members - who was quite the recruiter before he got officer privileges - join the officer staff. Please welcome...

CaptainGreenGene (Matthew Redskull) - Promoted to Officer!

... let's give these three - even though they're the only three in the guild with POF accounts - a big hand!

[jason davy]

Congrats Matt!! (Or, "Mat" lol)

On a random note, "Jack I" is totally throwing me off.

[Erich Uchiha]

Congrats Green!
