Guild Resolutions?

[The-Lady-Anatola]

show spoilerhide spoiler

Had an idea pop into my head just now and wanted to see what people thought of it.

Maybe to kick off the start of the year we could make a thread where guildies can toss in a "New Year's Resolution" for Gaia. Maybe it could be a quest for an item, or an achievement, or something of the sort. A resolution that you'd think you could feasibly manage this year.

It would be kind of like a joint quest thread of sorts. Depending on your goal, you could plop it down here and other members could take a look and see if they could help in any way. (Ex. An alchemy goal could have a list of components you hope to gather by the end of the year... and if guildies wanted to, they could donate if they're feeling generous enough)

Boring Example:
"Hi! I'm The-Lady-Anatola! And here's my boring introduction! emotion_omnomnom
Resolution: To Fall of the Evening Star/To completed this dream avi (insert avi here) /To craft Forgotten Reverie/To reach Level 2 Alchemy/Achieve Millionaire

(I dunno, I just picked out random ones. I might not actually work on these. xd I'm intending for members to pick only one though.)

All the resolutions could be in the first post with all the details of what exactly they're working for, and members could give them a glance over to see if they felt like contributing.

I dunno, I've been feeling particularly generous thanks to this Apocalypsmas and Secret Santa-ing... and I kind of wanted to know if any of my fellow Aekeans had any goals that I could contribute to. I'm not really good with setting up these kind of things though, so I'd need help making it organized and pretty, etc.

I think if a handful of members could pick out 1-expensive-item or 1 dream avi or one Alchemy project etc., it wouldn't be that bad. Of course no one HAS to donate or help out, but I think it would be fun if we got together, made some goals, and tried to help each other reach them before the year ends. 3nodding
I'm not the only one that stalks friends' wishlists, right?

Throw in your feedback, I'd appreciate it. heart Thanks for reading my rambling!

2013:

That's why I said, "I'm intending for members to pick only one thing though." xd I know my wishlist is exploding with things I want to get, but I keep getting distracted by other new shiny things. And I'm thinking more along the lines of "it would take me a year to get this" rather than "I could get this within the year." Something difficult, but not ridiculous. (like the dream avi I made for my friend that I promised to help him get.... emo )
But I think if people were to slap down one thing they'd work at, it would be easier to move things along instead of looking at a giant list of to-dos.  

[Hanbei Takenaka]

TwT;;; I have my quest for Nice Style For Work for those glasses...  

[The-Lady-Anatola]

Wolfie: Haha, you could always toss in one item off your quest just so guild members are aware of it. I know some people don't take the time to read a long quest thread (I usually try to read everything, but sometimes my eyes like to mess with me when reading a lot of text. xd ) I realize I have nothing I'm really "questing" for. If I get something off my wishlist, it's always, "Hey, I can finally afford that one. (buys) WAH POOR." Rinse repeat. sweatdrop

Hanbei: Ooo, that would be a fun goal to set for the year. 3nodding

I think if I were to make a resolution, it would be to get Millionaire. I need to get myself to stop spending money, so a goal of only saving would really help. heart  

[The-Lady-Anatola]

Is this all by saving, or are these from solely donations?
I wonder if we'll even get that many people in anyway. Things have gone quiet in the guild once again. xd Maybe I'll just keep track of resolutions on the first post until I feel the need to start a separate thread.  

[The-Lady-Anatola]

Heck yeah. New Years Resolution in the bag. cool Now I need to figure out what to do now. sweatdrop  

[The-Lady-Anatola]

Outfit 4: 21,573,276
Outfit 5: 1,003,598
Outfit 6: 1,401,878
Outfit 7: 1,699,000
Outfit 8: 3,840,080
Total: 36,259,862

OH BABY, what a project. emotion_dowant Lady thinking big. emotion_awesome  

[Blaizekit]

Oh, I remember you posted statuses about that, Lady! emotion_kirakira

I'm late for this aren't I?^^; Oh well.

My resolution of course is to craft Erebus' Moon! emotion_dowant Which involves getting to level 10 of course, but that's the main goal. I don't have a quest thread, but I do have the list of components I still need in my test thread.

You go Lady! dramallama  

[The-Lady-Anatola]

Always thinking way too far out of the box. Ah well, what's a game without impossible goals? emotion_awesome I'm sure I'll get those outfits together someday. It certainly helps that the people I'm dressing are willing to shop around on their own too. heart How nice that they humor me.

Added Blaize's goal to the list too. Wonder how far everyone can get this year. 3nodding Good luck!
