Guild News:
5-Year Anniversary:
... and four extra days later.
Yes, I am aware that it has been a whole year later since the last post. That wasn't on purpose, but I have been thinking a lot since my last Guild News and in reference to it. All of last year's 'news' is still heavily relevant with very little that has changed (please read it if you haven't, to understand where this is leading) ... nothing has changed really, expect for this decision I am making formal ...
<Brides> is now officially closed.
Furthermore, this is the last Guild News I plan to make upon this thread.
I am aware of the irony upon doing this, 'reaching the 5th year and announcing closure,' but with all that I have seen in the past year, one thing has been made perfectly clear to me ... and that is "Nobody cares."
Once a upon a time, I had hope that this Guild would stand out. Last year I was still rather heartbroken about it. Today, I have made my peace with it.
I'm not bitter in the slightest, this isn't a rant post, just simply put, "Today's popular Guild's are doomed to be tomorrow's wastelands." Brides had it tough anyways being an exclusive Guild and with a leader who can only be around some of the time (myself), it was always going to end this way.
<Brides> being closed however, still means polices are active and in play and these are just a few things of note;
- The Guild is inactive, but has moments of activity here and there, just not often.
- We do not recruit publicly, but we do recruit privately, should a request be considered.
- Brides can be 'chatty' but is mostly quiet and respects quiet. When recruiting, this is to be kept in mind.
- The Guild Initiative Interview is still something I do. I need to be able to trust members when I am not around.
The Guild remains without an alliance, as there really isn't a point in chasing for one.
When recruiting, should a respective seek a more active Guild, often I will recommend my friends over at
"Kar Khadath Regiment" for consideration.
It just makes sense for me to finally say all this. Again, this isn't intended to be a sad post and hurt the milestone, but Brides just simply doesn't have the members to do anything with and nor make their own guild events for, so, I never have anything to post here for it.
It is my hope that all those that read this (maybe 2 or 3 of you

) will understand?
But it isn't all doom and gloom.
<Brides> has Ranked from 22 to 27 during this year and especially because I have been playing more. However, it wasn't all done by me and a select few that have stayed and carry on have added a lot to this ranking as well. 2019 has seen growth by 4 more Ranks, than what the previous 2018 saw.

Myself:
Not much to add, as this isn't the place for it. For me this has always been a thread about the Guild, not the 'adventures of Nene my Witch.'
Nene and her alter-ego continue to be either busy or tormented however. My writing is going slow and continue to struggle daily with health issues. As a result, this has been seeing me play more of the game lately again.
I will share with you something I wrote most recent though, within the spoiler below, of course. No one needs to read it, but if you choose to, you might have to click the picture and have it send you to the larger image to read.
That is all. "Witches blessings" and "Happy Hunting" from me,
Nenenthalia.
