After witnessing a few recent events within the guild, some hitting close to home and some not, I've come to the realization that there are a few times when gratitude must be shown. I feel like now is one of those times. First and foremost, to our guild leaders and admins As a guild, we are nothing without your time, attention and support, and if it weren't for you, it goes without saying, this guild and this community would not exist. Thanks so much for your tireless efforts and for everything you've done for each and every one of us. I think you've accomplished something amazing in bringing us together as friends and no ammount of thanks will ever do your contribution to this community justice. Your dedication and involvement is inspiring not just in game but also in real life. You set an example as not only guild leaders but as people in general as well. Astrus, this specifically points to you. You as a person have proven time and time again that these people, this guild, and this community matter to you as a family does to most individuals. We would all benefit from acting as you do in our own lives, in or out of game. I'm more than positive that I speak for most of us when I say that we're grateful to have someone like you standing behind us and believing in what we can do together. To the guild as a whole In a pm I wrote a few months back I made a comment about sanct members being highquality people and that I wanted to be around them more often.We've seen some come and go, and witnessed the ups and downs that would raise the question as to whether or not that comment is true. But the few that have consistently devoted themselves to this guild for years, months or weeks, and have proven again and again that they're about the guild and nothing else, are all the evidence needed to make that statement incontestable. In a conversation that I had with an admin tonight, it was brought up that there was a lot of talk about separation between game and real life. Fortunately it was agreed that separation is slim. I look at all of you as real friends, wanting to devote the same time and attention to all of you as I would to my best friends that I've had for literally decades. I have family members in my guild, but more importantly I will not stop short in saying that my guild is in my family. I have benefited, grown, become more of who I am because of this guild. Whatever game it is we play, regardless of whether or not we're raiding or just jacking around, that we are doing it together is what matters most. So thanks for letting me be a part of all of this.

OMGZ!!!! SHAW IS GETTING OLD!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHAWWWWW!!!!

I'll miss you and you know you're my bud. Take care.

thanks guys, you all rock, i appreciate you!!!

...worked more on writing my book, which up till recently had been quite neglected... woot for productivity

i wonder if i can put the camera phone pics up... i never really saw devin as the type to pop his collar, and if he wasn't popping his collar in that pic, then what the hell was up with his shirt?

I'm gonna have to skip out on this one because my best friend Suzie is flying into town from Chicago before she leaves for Sacramento on Sunday and I leave for New Jersey saturday morning and my flight takes off at 6:45 am. Terribly sorry about the last minute notice. Have fun though and please take pictures!!!

dude, i leave for jersey on the 8th too but i'm still going! come out with us ikeek, lol

Dude, I would be floored if Nyax came...

Its a four hour drive for Kit and I so I'm assuming that Kit wont make it out till around 8pm, although I can be there whenever because I don't have a job. What times work for everyone?

Don't worry Shaw, I already warned everyone that I would have the camera... and if I didn't, well, here it is again. I'll have my camera and am a picture fanatic. Expect to go blind by the end of the night due to the red eye reduction flash on my nikon, teehee. And considering the fact that I've already got everyone's phone numbers except for Voidus, his wife, and lusty, I'll go ahead and take those from people as they want to give them!

Believe me, I love coordinating stuff, so if you want me to start the cell circulation, just let me know :)

So here is the deal... some of us midwesterners (meaning Cray, Kit, Elwin, Freyjah and Mr. Voidus) and Schaefer are going to be in the general Iowa area in the following weeks. Due to this grand occassion, we're planning a small get together in Cedar Rapids, IA on Friday March 7th. If you would like to join us for a beer that night, please post to this thread! CHEERS! Remember... Friday March 7th in Cedar Rapids, IA (time to be announced)

Jasko, I request one of these be done for myself! lol... I'll even send you one of my better pictures

Some people requested that I put these back up so I am doing so. Enjoy =)
