Gaiscioch Community Notes Issue 12, 2020

Gaiscioch

Cead Mile Failte!

Happy Holidays folks! We've almost made it to the finish line of one of the most unfortunate years of our lives. Despite the epidemic, murder hornets, world on fire, social distancing, awkward political scene, riots, protests, cancellations, delays, and mass unemployment we did find some bright spots this year. 

We came together as a community and supported each other in ways we never believed possible. We saw a lot of members resurface whom we hadn't seen in years.  Our Gaiscioch Flag-Football team won 2 championships while complying with covid-19 regulations. Our #ExtraLife charity event and Colon Cancer awareness streams were a tremendous success. Guild Wars 2 embraced the strike mission and interest grew drastically for raiding-lite content. We had a wonderful year of content in ESO which brought a lot of people to the game for the first time. Conqueror's Blade helped drive our Twitch Subscriber base up almost 200 people this year (a 20% growth). All in all for what this year was we still managed to have fun and be together in our own way. Let's countdown to the new year knowing whatever 2021 brings we can conquer it together!

Gaiscioch #ExtraLife Wraps Up in Time for the Holidays

In case you missed it, during the first week of November, Foghladha streamed for 74 hours across 7 days to raise money for the Children's Miracle Network. We finished the stream right on the cusp of $2,000 raised, which was a lot higher than we imagined with the current state of the world.

Inside the Family

Gaiscioch Family Patreons:

Want to give a special shout-out to those members who are helping enable our community to do great things. Their financial support has allowed us to expand the tools at our disposal and maintain the community without burning a hole in my personal savings. While a still do pay a bit out of pocket their contributions have prevented me from having to work side gigs to keep us afloat and for that, I am eternally grateful. It's at a manageable level I am comfortable with. Without these Patreons, you'd be seeing a lot less of me. Thank you for keeping me in-game and focused on growing our community.

Popular Adventure:
Conqueror's Blade

Things Are Heating Up in Liangyun

While the first half of the season things were for the most part quiet and many have relaxed their attendance on Territory Wars, the past few weeks have revealed one small jinx in the armor of the new season plan. Houses must have 3,000 influence in a region to attack the capital city. In addition during the capital city wars phase, the south region is unattackable which has brought all of the south contenders to our region.

Alas, We are Gaiscioch

It's been a long time coming. When I first funded the House Founders Pack expecting to create a place where all of our allies could enjoy Conqueror's Blade we bought it under the name Tuatha. Unfortunately, most of our allies would steer away from the game, leaving us Gaiscioch with our alliance name and not our actual community name.
