Trinity Knights was in the mid-40s on leaderboard when I took office. A year later we are at #20. But in between, you--the knights--and me, we wove a history together, a tale of triumphs and heartbreaks.
There was the excitement of doing events together; the pride of making achievements together (Elite Egg Cracking! Haunted! Arena!); the shared joys of the happiest moments in our life from birthdays to weddings; and the shared pain of losses.
There were the people we welcome into the guild. Some of them become our brothers and sisters. Some become our friends. Some left us and came back. Some disappeared and never returned.
There was the fun we have in game and the crazy Line stickers off game.
There was that month when without quite knowing how, we became the #5 guild in an elite contest.
We came to know more of each other, becoming more of a family than just a bunch of people playing the same game.
That climb of 20+ places on leaderboard could hardly cover or represent all that Trinity Knights had gone through or how much it meant to me, to us, all through this year.
In short, I could not have done it--save Trinity Knights and lead it to where it is now--without all of you believing in this guild, in its principles, and in its people. I hope you will stay with me and see what the future holds for Trinity Knights, in game and beyond.
I am not rich. I am not a pro. I am not very patient or kind, and at times, far from being tactful. I am only human, I make mistakes too. And so if in this one year I said or did something that offended or hurt you, I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me.
And to the officers, this song is for you. You know why.
