- Parsers Parsers and More Parsers!
Recently I brushed up on my LUA skills and found a few mods that answered questions I had on how to make a guild parser mod work. I finally had my "Ah ha!" moment and off to the races I went. I've been able to build parsers for both ESO and WAR that allow me to /dumpguild (like we could in RIFT) and export the guild roster. I then built a module for the website that can read this file and import/sync the data to our website. This allows me to build a third piece of the puzzle which is a macro export that my keyboard can run that will sync everyone's ranks with their role on the site. So at this point RIFT, ESO, and WAR all mirror to in game.

- New Post-Login Pages Coming Together.
Last month I tackled the pre-login pages for each chapter. This month I've been playing with the post-login pages trying to make them faster and more appealing. The way I'm setting up the new post-login homepage will base itself entirely off the games you play. News, Marketplace, Discussions, and events will all shape around your joined chapters and social adventures. Alternately you will be able to flip to any chapter page to see just that chapter’s information. Lastly I'm working on getting lazy loading on our site to load sections and graphics as you scroll the page.

- The Mysterious Disappearance of the Check-in Button
Over the past few weeks I've managed to get parsers running for ESO, RIFT, and WAR that allow me to sync your last login time of your characters with the gamelastlogin time in our website. This makes the "Check-in" button obsolete and allows us to pull more accurate timestamps of who's playing what. The catch however is, non-ESO players need to claim their characters so that the parser knows who each last login timestamp belongs to. You can do this by clicking the "Claim Your Character" button on your command center after login. Then just click the game you play and add/claim your character. This process however doesn't work for Guild Wars 2 as the guild API only exports the joined date, rank, and arenanet.id. It doesn't have character or last login data.

- Chronicles of Tamriel
Our newest public community adventure is a month away and we are still a bit behind on acquiring prizes for the event. We are also fairly behind in registrations. By the end of the month I'm hoping we can clear 75 registered of which 50 might show up. If you haven't yet, head over to https://www.chroniclesoftamriel.com/ and register using your Gaiscioch Passport (external) login or create a Gaiscioch Passport account.

- Findan's Jumping Puzzle
Inside our guild hall you will find a gazing eye overlooking Findan's memorial. This eye marks the start of a massive jumping puzzle I’m working on to remember him. Along the way I will be placing tribute stones that will feature memorable quotes from people who have posted to his profile about him. They will all need to be short as they limit the character count to 150. My goal is to create a puzzle players can jump their way through and read about who Findan was. If you'd like to be featured on it write something on Findan's profile or if you already have and want to say something different shoot me an email. I'm going to start placing stones soon and will need to collect about 25 quotes to pave the way.

- Gaiscioch Is Not Supporting RIFT Prime
In an effort to avoid splitting our remaining few people on two sides of a wall, Gaiscioch will not be officially joining the RIFT Prime server. We want to continue to be accessible to all and don't want to put a pay wall between us and our audience. We will not be supporting RIFT Prime via our website and anything that is done there will be unofficial and off the books.

- Warhammer Online Becoming a Legacy Chapter
This past 30 days has been quite remarkable in terms of growth. Our name appearing in Warhammer's tier 1 caused a huge surge of former Badlands and Phoenix Throne players flocking back to the family. We've gone from a handful of current Gaiscioch to 106 registered Gaiscioch with more than 150 in the guild roster.

- Camelot Unchained Beta Inc!
Great news for us Camelot Unchained fans. Beta 1 has been scheduled for July 2018 and we will be forming up on the Tuatha side. For those of you playing other factions I bid you the best of luck and my Leprechaun will try not to kill you too much. For Camelot Unchained I will be focusing primarily on resurrecting the legend of Renny Conchobhair with vlogs, kill logs, and a bit of storytelling. I do plan to throw an event on the calendar or at least a rotating event for the community to join in the fun.

- Ironsight Enters Open Beta
Well, I tried to create a GSCH in Ironsight but apparently GSCH means something in Korea that is considered derogatory. It's a prohibited word in Ironsight. So we are known as Laoch in Ironsight. I currently have it set to open join. They are starting to unveil their PVE modes to go with their PVP modes. This game seriously plays like Ghost in the Shell did and is quite a bit of fun. If you’re into FPS, I wouldn't mind having a wing person to stream it with. Here's a highlight video of the way I like to play.

- Shopping, not for the faint of heart...
Mother-mine,
Imagine my surprise when a trip to the bazaar turned out to be a bloodbath! Things are very different here in Stormreach, but we survived the slaughter, although I think we will never see a "bazaar" in the same light again...
- Sharn Syndicate - Tarred and Feathered
That intrepid band known as Gaiscioch [GSCH] has once again defeated evil and driven the infamous Sharn Syndicate from their money-laundering schemes in the Stormreach Marketplace. What will they do next? Perhaps Chronoscope or Tempest Spine? Stay tuned!
- COF
Bear Man has path 1 down in leading. Very well done.
- My First Raid!
I have to say how exciting it was. Mika tried very hard to let me know what to do; did a great job.
- Wandering around looking for my coffee 2.11.18
We had a good turn out for Sunday mornings event. We were able to complete the entire map with only a half hour extension of the event. All those who attended and claimed the event now have an entry into winnings Mango's nest of gold which now sits at 200 gold pieces...
- Deeper into the catacomb...
Konyth the Fighter, Tip the Rogue, Mazzar(r) the Wizard, Kiovar the Druid and Yobe the Cleric ventured deeper into the catacombs to solve the mystery of the disappearance of the bishop's daughter. The clues led them into the catacombs housing the remains of the Dryden family...
- Too much coffee for Mango! She is giving away her nest of gold!
This will the first event I will be counting towards the Feburary raffle pool. Make sure you claim participation for all of EL and Mangos events. On the 25th of February I will be raffling off a chance at the prize money from all the donations and shines that have been turned into gold from Mangos and my events for the entire month...

My time starts as a Tracker
Hard to believe it's been only seven days. 7!!!
A week ago I was waking up rather groggy and logging in for my third activity in Gaiscioch. Shortly after completing Eluveittie's map event this morning I received notification of my advancement...
- Why Sanctum of Rall, & why Gaiscioch?
When my wife and I had to find a new MMO because of City of Heroes shutdown, we decided to head to GW2, despite the indirect loss of CoH for more server space dedicated GW2. Since we had avoided GW2 for a few months, the servers were established and there was a handy wiki where we could research them all...
- Inniu t� m� ina Muintir
So I asked Google to translate "Today I became a Muintir" and it gave me the title of this post.
However when I asked it translate it back to English it became "Today I am a Man."
So it seems appropriate to post a rite of passage entry as I step up to "Manhood" in the Gaiscioch...
