CHOQUE IS...
-- Fun
-- Friendly
-- Innovative
-- Open-minded & accepting
-- Handing out tons of gold endlessly
-- Welcoming of all non-TekTek-thieving Gaians who have any interest in joining this guild for absolutely any reason.
-- A place where you don't have to continuously worry about anyone stealing your TekTeks & avatars... Something we strongly feel is both long overdue & greatly needed in order to preserve the TekTeking "community" on Gaia so many of us have come to love, enjoy, & admire.
-- Always full of multitudes of member-sponsored TekTek/Enviro contests, offering such a wide range of diversity in many different ways that you can't not find the perfect contest for you... Plus, we make it easy for you to host your own contest!
-- Almost always featuring at least one guild-sponsored contest in the main forum, guaranteed to be offering literally some of the largest prizes ever to be seen on Gaia!
-- A place where there's no such thing as "scam" TekTek contests, & where each & every TekTek contest that takes place follows through on distributing the prizes they agreed to award when the contest began.
-- On a mission to revolutionize TekTeking on Gaia as we know it!
-- On a mission to give the Avatar Talk & Dressing Room forums on Gaia a run for their money!
-- A guild founded originally to fill a significant hole in the Gaia community & provide a much-needed safe haven from the increasingly catastrophic mess of lying, cheating, & stealing that's filled the AT & Dressing Room forums & has sucked all the fun out of them. Since GaiaOnline & their TOS either cannot or chooses not to get involved in the slightest in regulating any of this detrimental behavior in its public forums, the only way in which the significantly large & important section of the Gaia Community we call "TekTeking" can continue to exist in an environment that's functional, fun, & not a self-contradiction is through Gaia Guild's.
-- The best place on Gaia to go if you have any interest in having an avatar &/or a dream avatar that you simply adore, & receive compliments on every day.
-- The best place on Gaia to go if you'd like to learn how to TekTek &/or how you can improve your TekTeking skills. Choque is full of Crew Members & dedicated guild members with tons of experience in teaching others how to become better TekTekers... We do it so incredibly successfully, incredibly quickly, & incredibly kindly that one of our primary Crew Members (GoddessOfGreat) learned how to TekTek well & developed an enormous passion for it through continuous feedback the guild's Captain elyzia provided her with.
-- That improved & expanded upon version of Gaia's normal TekTek forums that you've always wished for but never expected to actually become a reality.
-- Ambitious
-- Dedicated to you
-- ... Still growing, developing, flourishing...
--- ... & still in the process of adding to this list.

CHOQUE IS NOT...
-- Ordinary
-- Elitist
-- Unethical
-- Unkind
-- The TekTek Police
-- Boring
-- Judgmental
-- Just another one of those fleeting guilds that are created on a whim & wind up practically abandoned within 6 months tops.
-- Ever Stagnant
-- Only interested in your TekTeks & avatars... We're interested in you, too!

(THE NAME CHOQUE...)-- Is "officially" pronounced "shuh-kay"; or you can just listen to the pronunciation here . However, feel free to pronounce it however you want... It doesn't really matter to us.
-- In French means: to shock, appall, offend, startle. In Spanish means: to crash, impact, collide with (usually in reference to automobiles).
-- Fits absolutely perfectly, considering it's French & Spanish definitions, with the origins of my other guild which is named Burn.
-- I had absolutely no clue as to what it meant, or if it was even a real word at all, until after I randomly became dead set on having it be the name for this guild.
-- Doesn't really matter at all, & is totally besides the point. It's just a name that refers to this guild. (After all, I had to name it something, right?) The reason I'm explaining all this stuff about the name now is because I know that, if I don't, I'll get a trillion questions on it later.
