Pay it Forward Holiday Challenge

Published: Category:NewsWritten by: @Savina.09

HAPPY HOLIDAYS VANQUISH

I expect this year’s Holiday Season will prove to be as difficult as the rest of 2020. I know I am not the only one ready to but 2020 behind us. However, I am convinced that this year more than ever before “RAK” (Random Acts of Kindness) is a must for my holidays. I will be performing Random Acts of Kindness each day from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day 2021. I have found that there is more joy in giving than in receiving, and I am not referring to just gifts. I am talking about that feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment we get, when we help, counsel, spread laughter, make another smile, spend time with others, or can gift them something they need. These small acts of kindness bring large amounts of joy to both parties. Paying it forward, lifts my spirits and puts a smile on my face each time I do it! Random Acts of Kindness that leave people smiling and happier than I found them is my goal again this holiday season.

PAY IT FORWARD HOLIDAY CHALLENGE

What does this all have to do with Vanquish you ask? It is called the “Pay it Forward Holiday Challenge” I’m challenging all of Vanquish to go out into Tamriel, your own home, and/or your city and “Pay it Forward” each day with me. I want to share with all of you the joy, paying it forward with a random act of kindness each day can bring. Go on smile at that co-worker that you really do not care much for and say, “Good Morning”! Take some of those 1000’s of mats you have in your craft bag and find a new player and say, “Hi could you use 100 of these?” Step outside your comfort zone and when someone in guild chat is asking for help running a dungeon…fill that last spot for them and help them out. Randomly pick someone on the guild list and send them a nice mail with some gift item you think they might need or just a friendly note thanking them for something they have done for you. Stop and help someone out in the world of Tamriel or the real world. And when people act like you are crazy or when you just don’t know how to explain what you are doing…..Just say “My guild leader, Savina, challenged me to “Pay it Forward” and you’re the recipient of me doing just that, have a nice day! /smile”

Vanquish is blessed, we are a guild with much knowledge, an abundance of resources, and members of honor and integrity. Most of us in Vanquish want for little but have lots of items, laughter, joy and/or time to give. So, I challenge you Vanquish to go out and spread some holiday spirit in both Tamriel and the real world.

During the Challenge, Nov. 26, 2020 – Jan. 1, 2021 I will from time to time comment on this news thread to share some of RAK stories. I hope you all will do the same, it could help inspire others and give them some ideas for their own RAK’s!

OTHER THINGS VANQUISH HAS GOING ON THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY PARTY

On Dec 19th, 2020 @ 9 PM EST/6 PM PST we will continue the “Pay it Forward” theme for our Christmas Party. We will meet at the Daggerfall bridge. Wear your best holiday attire or costume, there will be prizes for the best holiday costumes. We will parade through Daggerfall and other large towns, spreading Christmas joy! Vanquish will be helping members of the ESO community as we take our gift giving on the road and visit several zones! We will be interacting in zone chats, offering to craft gear, help with quest or dungeons, basically spouting Christmas joy to all we encounter. Start saving up items to randomly mail to community members in zone chat as gifts. It will be fun for us and for the community at large! I will even throw in a game of Lawn Darts with prizes! Hope to see you all there.

REQUEST FORUM

Please stop by the Request forum this holiday season and contribute your own holiday wish and/or help others with theirs. Once you stop over in the request forum, you’ll get the idea and see the fun times to be had there! Please remember to mark your post complete once your wish has been fulfilled. If you are someone with the time and ability to assist in making wishes come true, please reach out and help as many as you can.

SANTA’S ELVES DECORATE A VANQUISH HOME

Santa’s elves are decorating a home for Christmas on the @vanquishguild account! Everyone will be given a chance to view the home during our Christmas Party. We will also post times closer to Christmas when we will set this Christmas home to the main for members to visit.

AN ESO CHRISTMAS CAROL

Clear your Calendars! (watch the Events page for exact times) This is a performance you don’t want to miss. This years cast will be preforming 6 shows across the 2nd and 3rd weekends of December.

This will be on the events calendar and signups to attend will be necessary since it does takes place in a home where seating is limited.
Last years performances of An ESO Christmas Carol was a huge success. It was so popular that the cast added additional shows so that all that wanted to see it could! I highly recommend signing up for one of the performances and sharing your screen with your family! Merry Christmas to all and we hope to see you there! Streaming is welcomed during these performances.

SECRET SANTA

The @vanquishguild account will be hosting a “Vanquish 2020 Secret Santa” gift exchange. More details will be posted early in Dec. Please do not send anything to the guild account until I make an official announcement with the dates and Official Rules.

BABY NEW YEAR TRIALS

Bring in the New Year with a collection of Naked Trials! Starting off at 11:30pm EST all the way to 3am EST or until we all give into sleep. (last year it was 5am EST before we called it done) New Years from coast to coast! Bring your drinks! Lots of them! Bring your noise makers! Just do NOT bring clothes!

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR VANQUISH

Always remember…..

Savina 4y ago Are you up to the "Pay it Forward Holiday Challenge" ???? Challenge accepted, I'm all in!!! Looking forward to sharing the excitement of RAK's with all of you again this year.
xrist04 4y ago I’m in! What an outstanding array of activities for the holiday season! I am so looking forward to this.
Savina 4y ago Random guildie who had last logged off on a level 3 character received items in a game mail new character would want or need as my RAK for the day. Items included... 40 Food (that scales to level) 50 repair kits 100 soulgems Alchemy station treasure map 100 lockpicks 10K for their first few bag space upgrades.
White-Willow 4y ago What fun! I'm in and will be scanning folks that might need what I can make (or do). So many things that sound like so much fun. <3
Savina 4y ago A few RAK's today.... *Joined the day trials on a moments notice because they needed someone *Got a helm run going and completed for a guildie (thanks Bella for jumping in with your own RAK to complete the group) *Gifted an Alliance Change Token to guildie
Savina 4y ago Saturday Rak's *Jumped in to fill a pledge group that had been in search of a 4th for sometime *Helped a guildie get a lead from IC in a spare 45 minutes I had between planned events/runs
A Sassy Fairy 4y ago Today I helped a few people that needed recipes. I sent Sav a special gift
Lenore 4y ago I donated both kinds of Nirn to a good cause for a guildie!
Mutha lover(@Thegreat_one) 4y ago So I couldn't remember why I was in bahara's gloom on this toon, Another player asks me if I know how to get the shard. "Oh. yeah that is why i'm still here too thanks for reminding me" I youtube it and we are off! But there is a lich boss whom we aggro and my poor friend gets DC'd. After getting the sky shard I wait for him to return, he tells me it's his ram and I tell him lich's are crashing all over tamriel. After showing him the location he trades me 50K gold. And yes, I made sure that was not a mistake!
Creakinator 4y ago I sent Lenore a bunch of Coldfire (I think) pvp stuff as I will never use it. She said "Thanks for the awesome PVP stuff! Funny story. Yesterday I was off loading some of my gear into what I though was my bank...and when I looked up, I realized I had just dropped two cold fire ballistas into my trader's guild bank...and no way to get them back...so it's wonderful to get these in the mail today. I feel like Christmas has begun!!!!!!!!" Glad I could help her!!
Savina 4y ago So glad to see others taking the time to share some of their RAK giving and receiving. Was a busy week for me but I still managed to jump in and feel some dungeon spots for guilds in need of that last person. Also added a few more in game mails to members with lower level characters, sent some motif's off to folks I knew needed them. Held open some doors and help some co-workers with small tasks that made their jobs easier also. Keep the stories coming folks, it is a lift to our spirits to read them. And could help give others ideas on how to create their own RAK's
