Purge #6

As the year ends, we want to have clean start with the beginning of a new one. As the guild master it always brings me pain to kick people out of the Tribe, but in order to keep our ranks fresh and active, we will continue to do. We offer these sacrifices to Hircine and pray that He will uphold his blessing throughout the year that comes!

The 15 souls we have lost:

@End0r4x

@SCENEOFF

@Conrad100

@theldas

@Braize

@Nerif

@Glowcrow77

@toufman84

@daleg11

@Robinkhaliq

@OskarHarry

@petewaw89

@Flexibilty

@Methoven

@M4sFear

There's always a place for them in the Tribe, should they return.
That's it for now - we will see you in 2017! A full year of new hunts and bloodshed!

What the future brings '17

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF THE TRIBE! BEST WISHES FROM YOUR ALPHA AND FROM VENERATED ELDER ARVAMEA!

Hello brothers and siters of the Tribe. Im sure you are busy, but please take a moment of your time to read this. It's been a whole year when I wrote a small summary of our (then young) guild. Did something changed since then? Plenty!

I won't bother you about how we started, as I wrote about it in the same post a year ago and after the celebration of our Great Hunt. What I want to write is, how time passes and how we are still the same, but different. Even now, we have about 111 members of this guild, one can say that we only got 20 new members throughout the year? No. Thanks to quarterly "Purges" we have been making sure that we keep only the active players within our ranks. And you know what? It works! When 2016 kicked off our (then known) PvP event Blood Hunt attracted roughly about 0 to 2 players. Right now, everytime we host the (now known) PvP/PvE event Eternal Hunt always have something to go around! It's the little thing like that that has changed us over the year. Im am grateful that many of the most active players of 2016 were also one who were active within the guild in the 2015. I dare to say that one of the reasons why we're still together is the fact, that we treat ourselves as a family. I've seen guilds rise and fall all because people could not get along. Sometimes the little things matter, like calling ourselves brothers and sisters of the Tribe or giving a *HOWL* when a new members joins the guild is all that gives them a good first impression, thus they give us a greater credit of trust and after a while, they know they have found their place.

Now, thanks to One Tamriel, the guild only expands! Not only we managed to perform our first Ebon Fang Tournament (which @Ayleen1412 won, not yelding to anyone) but there are more things in store for 2017:

Houses - YES! YES! YES! They're almost here! Finally, the guild can have a place on their own without any trolls or bystanders interrupting our meetings. with 750 000+ gold stored in our guild bank we're bound to get the biggest and the best house!

Huntsman's Feast - Again, our werewolf themed Christmas is coming back again! As always, more info will be held in the future!

Trials - Even though we tried to perform at least one 100% Bloodmoon Tribe Trial, we always had some issues that resulted in not having a one. Hopefully, and by seeing new, fresh and active players, 2017 will result in breaking the curse :)

Moon Raffles - By the second half of '16 Moon Raffles were gone, but by popular demand on our Moots, they will back and better than ever!

And much, much more!

On a personal note: there were times when I got overwhelmed by real-life issuses unrelated to the guild that pissed me off so hard that I wanted to just throw away everything and not worry about maintaining the guild as a result. But then, when I logged into the game and saw all the responses and the positive vibe on our guild chat, I knew I was in the right place and would not dare to leave you guys alone. You, brothers and sisters are my strenght to run the Tribe when in doubt. So once again, I salute to you! It is my honor to lead you and Bloodmoon Tribe! Blessed are you ;-)

2016 was a great year for the Tribe. Let's make 2017 even better!

Christmas Break '16

Greetings brothers and sisters of the Tribe! As you may know, the Christmas is coming, and many of our fellow wolves are busy with preparations and visiting relatives. I'll be brief then: due to Christmas and upcoming New Years Eve, ALL of Tribe's Grand Events are on hold, until 06/01/17! There will be still a Purge and I'll have a special annoucement during this time.

Also, we will kickoff 2017 with Eternal Hunt and week after that... with our annual Huntsman's Feast!

Ebon Fang Tournament: Winner of Finals, Winner of Ebon Fang Challenge

Greetings brothers and sisters of the Tribe! Boy, what an evening it was! First @Beastasaur66 fought with @Ayleen1412 for 30 000 gold and the title of Ebon Fang. Battle of the elders was fierce, quick and brutal. In the end, only one could prevail and it was @Ayleen1412, becoming the 1st EVER Ebon Fang Tournament champion!

But that was not all! The Ebon Fang, @Ayleen1412 challenged The Alpha, @Onslo86 for extra 20 000 gold and the rank of Alpha's Fang. Unlike previous fight, the challenge was the longest fight in recorded tournament history, was bloody full of close calls and second winds, that turned the tide of the fight. It was just GLORIOUS to watch! Yet, even the mighty Alpha could not withstand the power of Five Foot Murder Machine known as @Ayleen1412! 50 000 gold won in total and a well earned rank of Alpha's Fang is hers. Congratulations!

The Beautiful Storm: No kings among wolves

Welcome brothers and sisters of the Tribe, to the FINAL chapter of our current RP storyline: The Beautiful Storm!

"So this is what the end looks like. The great red storm over the lands of Orsimer. If all fails, a god will arise. There is but a small amount of hope, though. He was stopped once, and this time, with the powers of the Totems, the magical sword of Umbra and the newly reforged Dagger of the Hunter, the Bloodmoon Tribe may end it once and for all."

Join the Wolves of the Tribe trying to stop an ancient werewolf from achieving godhood this Saturday in Orsinium, Wrothgar! Due to powers beyond me the starting hour will be 18:30 (UK)/19:30 (EU)! Witness the end!

That also means the the Ebon Fang Tournament Final MOVES to SUNDAY, 17:00 (UK)/18:00 (EU)! Sorry for the inconvienience!

Ebon Fang Tournament: Winners of semi-finals

Greetings once again brothers and sisters of the Tribe! After Saturday's Fight 5 and Fight 6 we now know who will face off in the finals of the Tournament! In Fight 5 @Beastasaur66 went against all odds and has beaten @Ariana86!

In Fight 6 @Johnny_9Fingers despite the good will and and determination, could not stop @Ayleen1412 from claiming a victory and moving forth in the Tournament.

So this is it: this Saturday, after the Gathering, we will have the final match for 30 000 gold and the title of Ebon Fang: @Beastasaur66 VERSUS @Ayleen! And the winner will have an opportunity to issue the challenge to Alpha himself! Should the challenger win, he will earn a extra 20 000 gold and will be entitled as Fang of the Alpha!

Ebon Fang Tournament: Meet the final four

Greetings brothers and sisters! As the Semi-finals are close at hand, we'd like you to have a look at the final four fighters remaining!

Fighter:Kotathix
Owner: @Beastasaur66
Entance theme: Dirt Deeds Done Cheap
Finishing moves: Go To Sithis (Knee attack), Clothesline from Hist (Punch attack)
Signature moves: Inside Craddle of Shadows (Submission). Argonian Dropkick (Aerial foot and tail attack)

Kotathix, considered the weakest of the Venerated Elders is also considered the smartest. Where others use pure strenght, he uses skillful attacks and momentum to seize the victory. If that fails, he's also got his trusty blacksmith hammer hidden in the Arena when the referee isn't watching.

Fighter: Arvamea Aralen
Owner: @Ariana86
Entrance theme: Get Jinxed
Finishing moves: Dunmerian Death Drop (Grab attack), Moon-and-Star Press (Aerial body slam)
Signatue moves: Arrow-to-the-knee (Kick attack), Mistress Hold (Submission).

Arvamea is the loose cannon of the Tournament. She might show up or not, depending on the mood swings. She loves color red and blue and long walks in the night. Did i mentioned she breaks people for a living?

Fighter: Needle Fang
Owner: @Johnny_9Fingers
Entrance theme: I Want It All (was supposed to be Why Don't You Get a Job but Ari told me to be nice to Johnny)
Finishing moves: Dro'mathra Stunner (Grab attack), SuperMane Punch (Aerial punch attack)
Signature moves: Feline Dropkick (Aerial kick attack), Dark Moons Uppercut (Punch attack)

Needle Fang is the underdog... undercat of the Tournament. Hailing from Elsweyr, after spending his entire life training in the jungles, he spent all his coin to become a master assasin. He... went broke thanks to that and now he fights not only to fulfil his dream, but also to pay for the rest of the course.

Figher: Ayleen Loraya
Owner: @Ayleen1412
Entrance theme: Inis Mona
Finishing moves: Sweet Elf Music (Kick attack) Bosmer Lock (Submission)
Signature moves: Wild Hunt (Bodyslam), Mer Breaker (Grab attack)

They say fellow Bosmer mocked Ayleen for her small size, and they say everytime she killed one of those people, she grew 1/10 of an inch. Do you really want to know how many people she killed to earn the nick name of "Five Foot Murder Machine"?

The Moot of 10/12/16

Hunter's Shrine

Greetings brothers and sisters of the Tribe! This week's Grand Event is the Moot - the social event, where members of the Tribe can hang out and discuss the state of our guild. With the Ebon Fang Tournament's finals are close at hands, we can take the first lessons we learned from hosting this duelling event. Today's annoucement of Homestead will also spark a massive discussion about where the HQ will be placed or how it's going to be deocrated. This is also the last Moot we're going to make in 2016 so we'll talk about our past ups and downs during the year. But that's not all! The Moot is also the place where anyone can raise an issue important to them, regarding the guild, so if you have some questions you want to hear the public out, do it! I always say that: no matter if you're a guild veteran or recently recruited rookie - everyone's voice matters!

This Saturday the Moot is hosted at our Hunter's Shrine in Stonefalls! Same time as always - 17:00 (UK)/18:00 (Euro). Don't forget to bring your guild tabard and I'll see you there!

AND DONT FORGET THAT THE EBON FANG TOURNAMENT SEMI-FINALS WILL TAKE PLACE AFTER THE EVENT! @Beastasaur66 versus @Ariana86 AND @Johnny_9Fingers versus @Ayleen1412!

Ebon Fang Tournament: Winner of Fight 4

Greetings brothers and sisters of the Tribe! After yesterday's hard-fought battle @Ayleen1412 (2) emerged victorius over @Kendov64 (0) thus making her last semi-finalist in the Tournament! Yet in the "Anything goes" challenge (an extra fight which was issued to between the Fight 4) @DerJabbi won against @Ayleen1412 2 to 1 in a super fast, super brutal fight with tons of damage and walked away with 10 000 gold!

Now we focus on the next phase of the Tournament - the semi-finals! Next Saturday, after the Moot, we will host not one, but two fights! Fight 5: @Beastasaur66 versus @Ariana86 AND Fight 6: @Johnny_9Fingers versus @Ayleen1412! Test your might!
