Okay, so we all know what brought us here. This guild was created in the aftermath of the Rejected Olympics where we teamed up together, created a family, and wanted to continue the camaraderie for as long as we could. The best way to do this and to keep people active is to participate in guild run and gaia run events that are fun, entertaining, and strengthen our teamwork.

What I would like to see happen is a team of event coordinators who can keep this going and alive for a long time to come. People who are active, capable of creating pretty threads, coming up with unique ideas, and implementing them in a timely and organized manner.

I would like to come up with a calendar of sorts ahead of time so we know what's coming and is visible for everyone to come and check. We would have the established gaia events, such as Halloween, Christmas, Easter, etc., and then make our own, personal, guild events everyone can get into.

This is something everyone can get involved with. I would like to have one or two leaders, probably myself or crew members, to make it happen, run the events, and keep it organized, but the discussion and planning should be guild-wide.

This quote came from somewhere else and is along the lines of what I've been thinking about.

In another guild a few of us are in, we have yearly celebrations, including an anniversary week. It's pretty fun because we decide on a guild theme and do a dress up. So for Aekea we could have a week where we all decide certain Aekea items to wear, for example and all guild members wear those items for a week. It's funnest when the items are obvious enough that people could tell the avi's are connected when seen together outside the forum but each person has enough room to accessorize on their own and make the avatar customized.

We also do group photos every anniversary and hold art freebies, etc.

If we have quite a few artists, I wonder if we could also do something like an Aekea fan comic? Like a fanfic but not? XD Maybe something like the Battle Royale thread in the PP forum, where each person adds on as they go. I guess that could be a variation of an RP, too?

Maybe we could do some kind of monthly in-town event, too? Man, this is where I wish we could have larger houses, so we could make an actual large meeting place in towns, like a virtual town hall.

Sorry for rambling, just throwing some ideas out there sweatdrop


So let's see what everyone can contribute and start coming up with a timeline to make it all happen!

I was thinking of starting a bump / counting thread. All of my home threads have previously been this kind of place and they did really well.
People counted their posts and chatted at the same time.
For every 100 posts you get a prize. Then when you hit 1k, for every 1,000 a bigger prize. And every 10,000 a huge prize. You'd be surprised how many people made it to 10k and up.
They also added sporadic prizes. "quote this image" and a prize for reaching a certain page, dice contests. That kind of thing.

Only... I lack the funds and conviction to keep up with that kind of thing.
Also I've never really been around guilds much, so I don't know if it'd be as popular.
If someone else thinks it's a good idea, give it a shot. x"D I could also play a ton of black jack and probably make enough profit to keep it up.

I tend to fall back on raffles when I want to do an event, so I would love to hold one in conjunction with any other thing the guild might be doing at a given time. (i.e. have it be part of our Halloween/Christmas event, whatever); but I will say I rather liked the one I did during the Olympics because it had a different than usual criteria for getting the tickets. (I gave people tickets based on how many points that person earned.)

Therefore, if I did a raffle for the guild at any point, I'd want to think of some similarly interesting way for people to earn tickets.

Scavenger hunts are also pretty fun. owo

If I had funds I'd totally be up for having a contest. But sadly, I'm much like Dark. XD I lack the funds. XD Not to mention I'm currently saving my gold to start a charity.

@ Blaize - oooo~ Scavenger hunts would be fun. ouo Hiding a small image in a post from some random post in a random thread that has a lot of pages so it could be anywhere. >:3 That'd be fun. :3
