November Week 4 Newsletter!

Hello Aurorians!

Letter from the Editor:

Aurora has been around since October 2011. Let me tell you, there are very, very few guilds that were started around that time but have managed to thrive and grow even today. We have seen so many of the most well-known guilds, such as Guild, Knightmare, Valkyrie Knights, Order of Venus, rise and fall and yet Aurora is stronger than ever. I attribute that to all of our amazing members. Each and every one of you has helped to make this guild bigger, better, and stronger. You guys are priceless <3

That being said, we have so many developments going on lately and with our guild getting bigger and busier, we have decided to start a weekly newsletter - the purpose being to consolidate all the major news from the staff, weekly events, and some juicy gossip!

Keep in mind that this is just our first issue, we are still trying and testing many things. So please please provide feedback and what you would like (and wouldn’t like) to see!!

- Valene

Guild News: __________________________________________________________________________

General Conduct:
With the flurry of activity generated by the GH update and an increasing guild roster, we would like to take this time to remind everyone of general guidelines for guild conduct:

1.) Please conduct yourself in mature, respectable manner. That includes being courteous in runs, refraining from making complaints or crude comments in LD / BN, and just generally being awesome when in haven

2.) The staff is pretty lax in terms of control compared to some guilds. That is because we trust everyone. However, in return, we would like to encourage everyone to keep exercising that same integrity in contributing to the guild fund, mist well, and helping each other out!

Keep in mind that maturity is of utmost importance to the staff. And any display of negative comments, complaining, shameful actions, etc is strictly forbidden and will result in demotions and even a kick from the guild. We are all proud to be Aurorians and love Aurora – so we want to make sure others see what we stand for!

Guild Hall:
We currently have 3 floors and our weekly upkeep is around 137,500 cr. Our goal is to expand our GH to 4 floors (so we can get that garden and training hall!) while being able to maintain our upkeep. For that, we would like to ask the help of EVERY single member.

Some of you may be familiar with our guild FSC runs to raise funds. Basically, you do a FSC run (preferably with guildies so it’s funner!) and donate all the crowns you earned to the guild fund. If every single member can do that only once a week, then we would be on our way to achieving our goal of 4 floors with a garden and training hall!
So please help out!

Mist Well:
The mist well is currently healthy, and to keep it that way, we already put in place a few policies :
1) the micro-donation system: if you want to donate to the mist well but can’t reach the cap of 500CE, send donation to Aurora-Nri instead, who will put CE in the well when donations reach the cap.
2) we monitor the mist well usage. If you use it too much, we will warn you about it.

LD Team:
We have recently decided to start up a LD team, just so that we can play some casual GvG when members feel like it. Whether you just recently got into LD or have been a longtime player, if you are interested, please check this out: https://aurorask.forumotion.com/t201-guild-lockdown

Guild Event Recap: _________________________________________________________________________

This week, in the spirit of Thanksgiving, our wonderful officer – Redhawkone – organized a fun, duo speedrun down to JK along with some tricky trivia afterwards. We were able to fully utilize our guild hall for this event and believe that the possibilities will only be expanded once we update our GH =)

Big thanks to all the attendants for your enthusiasm and sportsmanship! And a big congratulations to our winners: Belkira and Luxur!

Maybe take out the part striked-out then just in case XD? As well as the guild upkeep part (I see that as maybe just information that guild members should know). Do you see anything else that maybe we should take off?

Edited and saved

As far as for anything else, nothing really comes to mind.

Now you can see what mushy REALLY said. ((This is a joke he didn't say this at all I just modified his text for humor))

Awesome work Valene!

Perhaps we could add a section of funny stories, gossips or events that happened between guildies over the week. There could be an officer responsible in receiving the stories (in their SK inbox) from the guild members.
Cheers
