Hi Clan,

Our clan is growing very slowly, and we now have a lovely group of very friendly and helpful people who support each other very well.

Our clan atmosphere is very community based, very friendly and supportive and a pleasure to which to belong.

We are well on the way to tier 4 in our citadel which is still a choice, and I greatly appreciate and thank those who have visited, skilled and capped. We have made upkeep and upgrade this week, so our resources will save, and we're a little closer to tier four. So thank you very much to all our clanmates who have contributed, even just a visit is helpful, and you can be proud of making a contribution to help our citadel grow.

Our number of free to play clan mates has increased, and the non members in the clan have been organizing events such as dungeoneering, duels, skilling together, and helping and supporting each other in surviving in combat which has been really good to see, so well done everyone.

Thank you all for your great help to each other, friendliness and support.
It's what makes our clan a friendly, lovely, caring place to be.
Cheers
Cherish

Hi Clanmates

Today we achieved Tier 4 in our citadel, so thank you very much to those clanmates who have contributed, even just a visit is helpful, and you can be proud of your effort and teamwork in helping our citadel to grow. It still remains a choice, and I really appreciate the effort, and the sense of community from our clanmates working together helping each other to achieve a goal, so well done all of you!

We have a really pleasant and caring clan atmosphere with a group of lovely people who all know each other, are friendly, and offer help, support and hugs when needed.

Thank you all for your great help to each other, friendliness and support.

Welcome to Cherish Hope's inaugural Secret Santa!

What is Secret Santa all about?
Secret Santa is a game and a tradition that is embraced in a number of countries. Secret Santa essentially entails the exchange of goodwill in the form of gifts within participants, or in this case, clan mates. We hope to build a sense of cohesiveness, strengthen camaraderie within clan Cherish Hope, such that every member can get to know his or her clan mates better and build friendships. Most of all, have a very merry Christmas not just in the real world, but within Runescape and the clan!

How do I partake in Secret Santa?

1) Register your interest and simply sign up by posting on this thread and indicate whether you will be online for the day of exchange. Your name will be added to a spreadsheet and be assigned a number. Sign ups start on the 1st of December and close on the 18th December, a window of 2 and a half weeks. After the window is closed, you may still indicate your interest, read rule 3 for more details

2) After the window is closed, I will use a random number generator to arbitrarily select numbers, or participants from the list. Participants will be subsequently paired
up such that each participant will have be a Santa and a recipient simultaneously. Player A will be a Santa to Player B, B to C, and C will in turn be Player A's Santa. This is to avoid any bias in allocation of pairings.

3) From the 18th December, I will disclose the names of recipients to all Santas, so that everyone will be cognizant of who he/she is presenting a gift to on the day of exchange ( read rule 3!) I will try to notify all participants via pm when they are online: If participants are not notified or are inactive, rule 3 applies in this case. All participants are encouraged not to disclose or insinuate to their respective recipients in the clan chat about them being his/her secret Santa. You wouldnt want to spoil the surprise!

4) The period of exchange itself will take place for approximately a week from Christmas Eve to new year. ALL secret Santas are to add their recipients, converse with them and preferably try to meet up personally with their recipient and present their gifts via trade. If you are unable to log in during the period , please pm me in-game or post on this thread, so that I will be able to make arrangements. I will either arrange for you to present your gift on another day if circumstances permit. If that is not possible, you may trade me your intended gift and i will present it on your behalf on the day of exchange, and in turn reveal your identity. In return, I will present you with collateral equivalent to that of the gift's grand exchange value. After you confirm the exchange with your recipient ( upon your return), I will claim the collateral back.

5) All participants are hereby encouraged to confirm by either pm-ing me, or posting on this thread, if they will be able to log in on the day of the exchange such that it will greatly facilitate the organisation of events. If they are obliged to withdraw from Secret Santa due to real world commitments, they are encouraged to inform the clan if possible or post on this thread.

Rules!

1) No disclosure or insinuating to recipients that you are his/her secret Santa, unless you wish to ruin his/her surprise

2) Do some research on your recipient! find out what he or she likes in game and what goals he/she might have in the game at this point in time. If you can,try and assist her towards that goal and spring a surprise!
