Seeding Ideas
The days were young, our hearts were strong..."
Ardin had been around Gaia for a while, she knew some people (Duzel for instance), and one day she crossed paths with a certain "Hellbringuer".
"Wouldn't it be great if we had a guild?" she asked me one day....
"Sure" I jestered "and we could name it like one of those bar RP's. What about Moon Secret Gardens? Sounds like a SPA for vampires and really girly should we use that one?"
....I would have never guessed in a million years she would say yes.
And so the saga began.
Ardin would run aroun looking for guild we could manage buy, in order to avoid having to spend the standart 20k which was quite qlot back then...
I even gave her one k back then and said something like "I'll give more has I get it and will buy ourselves a guild.
It was messy but we ended up making this one on our own... xd

The Princess, the wolf, the racoon and the eye... thinguie
There it was the guild was done.
And a fresh crew was there to lead it.
Ardin, Dante, Duzel, and me.
Or simply putted a girl and three of her gaian friends.
Back then I had a Red Blood Shot eye has head, Duzel looked like he does now, Ardin dressed always something different and Dante weared a mythrill armor and eventually a spear.
It was a good crew.
Ardin was the leader (of course), I was her "left eye" (sorry for the pun), the advisor if you will. Duzel was her gaian adoptive father and Dante was around mostly for the RP. xd
So that's what we decided to do.The only thing left to do was recuiting.
We all made our way into the forums (and friendlists) and did as much recruiting as we could manage.
We were sort of successful actually.
Most members were noobies and most of them just stopped posting after some time.
We were going really slow......

The Plan: Go Fish
We had a tavern, we picked the drunks and we dragged them here
So Ardin had this RP that might sound familiar to some of you called "Moon's Secret Gardens Tavern" going on Gaia's public role-play forum.
I had a character called Zain, and we all used to go around the place doing stuff that you are supposed to do on role-playing.
The important part is, it was a sucess.
We had lots of people going there and not so many around here.
The math were easy so one day when me and Ardin were discussing about this two topics I made a simple suggestion.
"Why don't you continue the RP in the guild? That way if people want to keep up they'll have to join us".
This, probably rude plan, worked out and soon enought our memebers where groing in their numbers.
Lots and lots came to us, some because of their wish to continue the rp and others because they found the rp on the public forum and came in because they were curious.
Eventually we could afford to become a private guild, since we soon got to 150 members and for the crew back them, that was alot already.

An Hero Came
To the rescue, she might have said...
Life works in cycles.
There are cycles of wealth and death.
During the time we where running well and everything seemed fine I at least believed that the guild would get along well. We had enought members to make it worth it.
During that time I exsperienced technical difficulties that made it harder for me to be online.
Everytime I got online and I managed to take a look, I suffered.
The RP that keept us afloat for months started to die.
And so, we slowly entered the death phase of the never ending cycle.
But there was not an actual death, mind you, more of a reduction of our numbers. Those who kept RPing, kept posting around, and they were not just crew members. From those non-members I remember better Dilagenece and OurHeroXero.
Has you can see they are now Crew members.... Actually Captain and Vice-captain if I'm not mistaken....... xd
Oh yeah, there was also Quixotic.
I surely remember her.....
Now let's keep this story going shall we?

Darkest Hour
And so we slept and time passed like a river under a bridge
What can I say.
The guild was asleep.... or at least most of the members where.
Again.
Ardin left the guild. She left gaia actually, and at least I felt sad.
It's hard to give relevant details.
The idea that I should make a section dedicated to the MMO started to gain form in my mind.
I might be pulling some part of the guilds history, I surely am, but I will give you the general idea:
The guild was dead and the few remaining crew members were trying to make somthing out of the guild's corpse, trying to shape it so it would shelter new members and maybe gain a new life.

March Of The Pinguins
We got a new allied guild, we got new members and nearly at the end of summer time a new Captain.
We started weith Ardin has captain, has you will remember if you where here when this guild started or cared to read this thread since post one.
She had to go, real life called, and HeroXero suceded her.
Right now we have The Flying Pinguin in the bosses chair.
Personally I like her, she has a lot of artistic talent (glares at the avi art she drew me) -coff,coff- has I was saying we are now with the third captain on and I believe that soon enought we will be filled with life and so on.
We started has a discussion/rping/art guild/hang out.
Now we even have a Zomg! division, that I myself suggested and started.
Maybe since the beguining that was our mistake, we tryed to be to many things.
I dare thinking that maybe we should be just an art/hangout &discussion guild.
Has someone that has here from the beguining, I have seen the three (in the least 3) separate "incarnations".
It's like a march trought a vast and terrible desert.
Many felled has some walked on.
If you, in whatever time you are in this guilds future, found yourself reading this records, I want you to know that, even if my work in this records are messy in the way I writte them, if you think the guild is dying (again), and considering to move to other guild let me tell you this:
This guild, like any garden, with us the members has it's caretakers andguardians of the few dreams, the few "flours" it helds, we must be patient.
If this guild's members must have any attributes at all, one should be patience.
You can plant whatever you want, but thing do grow from one day to the next.
All takes time and patience to withness things happen.
