... and with you, the Tribe will neither! Two years. Two friggin' years the Tribe is going at it! And to think I didn't think the guild would last two months! It's funny, because this year we actually hosted many popular events which are now made only annually like the Huntman's Feast or the GREAT HUNT :) And seeing the great response from yesterday, you're okay with that!
I like to think that first year was a "survival year" for the Tribe as we managed to not establish some rules, events and quirks only understanable for us, the brothers and sisters of the Tribe. Year two, the one we held now was more like "upholding the traditions year" to see if the things we established can last longer." As i write this post, we hold 128 members in the Tribe, which is our absolute all time high, we did about 46-48 Grand Events in the year which actually improved on the numbers of players participating in them. Moon Raffles and other non-weekly events are also holding on quite good. In fact one of the Moon Raffles we broke the record prize pool twice. TWICE! With new events on the horizon we want to still do the ones we love but also add new ones to keep it fresh.
Yet, not everything works as intended. The Silver Crusade - the monthly trial event - hasn't started. Hunt of the Week was... well meh. And don't get me on the Battlecry contest (to name a few). As with everything, we're improving and adapting, sometimes we gamble on the wrong horse and some events just aren't interesting or I'm/we're too busy to host it. I like to think that's it's just a natural process of eliminating some of the events.
I'm not saying it's been a bad year thanks to this - on the contrary! With regular purges, we managed to hardened the most loyal and dedicated members in the guild, while we're recruting fresh new faces, many of whom decide to stay and be part of the Tribe, the Family. As years pass, many friendships are made and genuine trust for each other comes as the Tribe expands. Life is way better now with the One Tamriel update and the Homestead update where we host various social events like the Moot (uninterruped by some randoms, yay!).
Year 3 of the Tribe starts. Will it be better than the previous years? I
don't know. What I know is that - as the Alpha - I'll do my best to
make it so! But what's a Alpha when there's no pack? So will you too do
your best so that the Tribe will prosper! I know you will!
