*stops looking under the rocks*

Do you have photography skills? If so, we could use your help! The mastheads on our website have turned up missing. Since only having one masthead is rather boring, we are looking at replacing them.

The Stormsurge website is an extension of the guild and for all of our members to use and enjoy so we decided that rather than having one or two people trying to come up with new mastheads, we would ask the members themselves to contribute any they would like to see used.

How does this work? It's really quite easy, just take a screen shot of a scene or event that you like, modify it so the image size is 1920 pixels wide x 250 pixels high and then send it our way via our e-mail address of Mastheads @ Stormsurge.us. (Please keep the size of the image file as small as possible with a maximum size of 1 mb). And yes, the images have to be screen shots from Everquest 2.

What do you get in return? First, knowing that you added something of great value to the website. Second, your name in lights! What?!?! lol Your name will be added to the image so everyone will know who contributed it.

*goes back to looking under the rocks for the missing images*

Sincerely,
The Stormsurge Website Team

Yes, its that time of year again where we come to reap what we have sown as we munch and craft our way through the fruits of our labours - The Stormsurge Harvest Festival is here once again (ssshhh... actually as far as I'm aware this is the first one - but I won't tell anyone if you don't!).

The only problem is that whole 'fruits of our labours' bit. Sadly, our harvest festival supplies have rapidly diminished in the past couple of months because of heavy provisioning and crafting taking place in the guilds crafting hall to ensure all our members are well fed and provided for, meaning before we can enjoy the fruits of our labours - we've got to do that whole labouring bit again and top up our supplies in the Guild Harvest Depot situated in the crafting hall, which brings me nicely on to a new competition we are launching to run from Monday 17th October, through to Sunday 23rd October inclusive - 1 full week, next week.

UPDATE TUES 25th OCT: Well done to everyone who participated in this competition which has now ended, all the winners will be announced later this week, excellent job!

Officer Tiamay has asked me to make a survey requesting suggestions for a potential new last name to replace her current surname of 'Lostalot' which for various reasons she is looking into changing.

Obviously it's difficult to do a survey without any ideas out there just yet, so I thought I would use this article to get some ideas rolling from you guys - the one that sprung immediately to mind to me was Tiamay Helpsalot, but there are others such as Tiamay Fallsinlavaalot, or Tiamay Getsleftbehind. Or howabout Tiamay Gratsalot? Just a few silly ones from the top of my head, but I'm sure Surgers out there have some other much better ideas!

And then we'll either get Tia to choose her favourite one, or if there are too many that she can't decide upon, maybe create a survey from her favourite suggestions. So, please feel free to use the comments link below to submit your ideas, and if we have a winning submission there will be a nice prize package to be had, so be sure to put your thinking caps on!

Are you game for a LL.AA.FF? If so you might like to know that Liftik's legendary competition 'Liftik's Legendary / Advantageous Achievements / Fortuitously Fabled Contest' is back - and this time with a vengeance!

This brilliant competition from our Snickers-loving Halfling, involves him picking out a secret letter that only he is aware of before the competition starts. Whenever someone loots an item of legendary loot, or achieves an Advantageous Achievement or loots a Fortuitously Fabled item in game, Liftik will check the first letter of that looted item or achievement to see if it matches the secret letter he has already pre-determined. When they match, the winner will receive a treasured STAT specific adornment (i.e. Lesser adornment for stats - STR/AGI/WIS/INT) to apply to their gear. When someone has won, a new letter is picked and the contest continues.

But that's just part 1 of this great 3 part competition! Part 2 involves rearranging all the letters found in part 1 to form a secret word that Liftik pre-determined secretly before the contest began. Whoever manages to re-arrange the letters first and find the correct word wins themselves a legendary adornment for their gear (i.e. Greater adornment)! Once this part is complete, the contest returns to part 1 for any additional words pre-determined in the contest.

When all the words are spelled out, part 3 begins! Part 3 involves determining what all the words found in parts 1 & 2 mean. They are always Stormsurge related (unless otherwise stated), and could relate to a favourite raid zone, a specific guild member, or something in the guild hall - anything Stormsurge related! It's your job to figure out what! And if you do - you'll be the VERY LUCKY WINNER of a fabled adornment for your gear (i.e. Superior adornment) - often worth in excess of 50 platinum coin!

As ever with any competition there are rules, and we urge you to read up and follow the contest (which is already underway - and our apologies for being late to report on it - its been a busy couple of weeks!), there are 12 winners so far at the time of publication, but THERE IS STILL TIME to discover more letters, more words and the final clue from the words that are discovered! So what are you waiting for. Get stuck in and follow this exciting competition here!

Congratulations to our many winners in our Website Raffle to mark the launch of the new Stormsurge Guild website!

Amongst the lucky winners so far are Monty (in the form of Drakozadkah) who wins two T9 legendary player-made white adornments, Misunderstood who wins a fantastic 'once in a lifetime' duel with Baji in the near future (all expenses paid!), Kalther who wins himself 50 platinum pieces (and our Leadership have requested any begging letters or demands for large gifted quantities of Snickers to be reported to them at once!), and Malarra who wins herself this errrr.... fantastic forum title and Tier 2 web site avatar...

"I won the raffle and all I got was this stinkin' title!"

...which can be viewed in her forum posts until she wins herself a better title! On the bright side though Mal - it is a unique title - so look at it that way! We'll be handing out more fun forum titles and avatars as prizes / gifts in the future by the way, so stay tuned!

Meanwhile, you might like to know that our Web Site Raffle is still ongoing, there are more draws to be made and more prizes to be handed out, but the event will come to a close in the next few days - so make sure you sign up for it here, and if you have any difficulties claiming your characters and signing up - please leave a comment on the signup page and you will be counted. We wish you the best of luck!
