Laz was nominated this past week for not only taking the time to help out a fellow guildie in a dungeon but he stayed and helped that person finish a quest after everyone else had left. It is this kind of dedication that we love about you. 

To submit a nomination, send an in-game or website mail to Rhodaria. Be sure to specify who the guildie is you are nominating and why you are nominating them. To view the gallery of past winners go to our Guildie of the Week Page.

Guess your Guildmate

Not a soul guessed that it was Rondoh who said "Nothing can simulate me!" ...and let's be honest, he is right about that (on so many levels). Do you know who said this tidbit a few weeks back?

"C'mon Cluckers, let's pluck some eyes out!"

To submit a guess for GYG you can comment on this newsletter on the website or on facebook or send Rhodaria an in-game mail. To view previous weeks' challenges view the forum post.
