New Years Celebration and End of the Year Awards!

[Tiberius Fireskull]

Yet another year rolls by before us. Another year of memories, of laughter, of crying, of friendship, of hardship, of battle, and of love. Our guild has grown this year more than it ever has. We are a completely different guild from 2010 and the beginning of 2011. We're stronger, we're closer, we're more of a family. This year, we had the wonderful privilege of earning a subforum on Pirates Online Forums, we celebrated two years, we prospered, we partied, we toasted, and we showed the Caribbean who we were. The Shadow Sorcerors guild.

This was a great year for us. We can all look back on it as probably the best year in our guild's history. I'm try glad that we had such a great year. So, let's end it with a bang! On Saturday January 7th at 8pm EST, we will be having our New Years Celebration! The exact schedule is TBA by Captain Sharktooth, but in addition to celebrating the New Year and looking forward to all the good things to come, we shall also be giving out our... (drum-roll...)

End of the Year Awards!

Each End of the Year Award is entirely unique to itself. They all are to be given to a single person (or two if there is a tie) in this guild. You all as Shadow Sorcerors are to vote on who you want to have each award. You have until Monday, January 2nd at 9:48 EST time (because I need to have some sort of time deadline, don't I? ) to PM me your votes on either POF or the guild site (choose one or the other). You may only vote for one guildmate for each category, and do not vote for me. "Trading" votes (having one person vote for you and you vote for them to gain votes) is absolutely prohibited, and Trading will result in a warning and possibly demotions. Be completely honest in your voting, and send them to me by the date and time I gave above.

Now... onto the awards.

Friend to the End: This award goes to a player who displays nothing but kindness to his guildmates and those outside the guild. This player should be, like the award name says, a Friend to the End, always there to pick you up after you fall, to put a hand on your back when you feel as though you can’t go on.

Unstoppable: To the player who is completely Unstoppable! This member should be able to overcome any physical obstacle, conquering anything that crosses his or her path. The Unstoppable One should fight until the end, able to crush any foe, sink any ship, and live to tell the tale.

The Helping Hand: Always willing to lend a hand to those who need it, The Helping Hand Award goes to the person who never hesitates to help someone in need. Be it healing while they train or in a battle on the seas, The Helping Hand will never say no to helping someone. Their selflessness has no boundaries, and their care is infinite.

Hail to the Shadow Sorcerors!: This award is quite simple: It goes to the Shadow Sorceror with the most guild spirit. If they yell “Hail to the Shadow Sorcerors!” as their battle cry, dressing entirely in black and red every day, or leading guild pride events where everyone can see. Do they support the guild in every way possible? Do they show loyalty and pride for this guild in everything they do? And most importantly, how loud can they yell, “HAIL TO THE SHADOW SORCERORS!”


Sorceror of the Year: This award is not unlike our Sorceror of the Month awards. This award goes to the person who you think has demonstrated overall greatness in this guild. This person should have displayed all around friendliness, loyalty, and dedication to this guild. This person must have either been in the guild for three months OR be of the veteran rank or higher.

There are the awards! Send in those votes! If you don't send them in by December 29th, I may start asking you to send them in! It is of the utmost importance that we get as many votes as possible for a fair turnout.
