The Sunwing Voyagers

We fly to the edges of the archipelago and far beyond, expanding our horizons and exploring new lands. We are talented, creative and resourceful and we are ready to help any new friends we meet. The Sunwing Voyagers are a peaceful clan and we prefer to settle any conflicts with diplomacy rather than violence. We love dragons and we are always ready to learn new things, using our extensive knowledge of their ways to aid people and dragons to peacefully coexist and help each other.

This is a special clan where the skill within the game determines the success of its members. It is for those who have never taken the easy way of buying a membership or using gems to instantly get tens of dragons, all the most expensive armour and saddles, to do easy farming and fishing etc., etc. We take time to enjoy the progress of the game.

Info for joining:

If you wish to join please send a join request in-game with the code phrase “We fly in the sun”. This will mean you have read and agreed with our rules and requirements.

What will you get from this clan?

Clan leadership is new to me, so please be patient. I’ll try to organise clan competitions and activities fairly regularly (every few weeks) – I have lots of ideas, but I am open to suggestions. Events will include, but will not be limited to: art and poetry contests, treasure hunts, in-game competitions and anything else we can think of. I’ll try to create smaller fun events too, like tag and hide and seek games whenever I have time online.

Clan rules and requirements

1. The obvious rule is that you should not have ever bought a membership for the Viking you are joining with. You should also appreciate the idea of being patient and putting effort into the game, so not overusing purchased gems (gems achieved from added friends/completed offers/battle events are fine) – i.e. it’s understandable if you bought gems for a dragon you especially like or for an expansion, but ideally you shouldn’t purchase gems to instantly grow all your dragons to adults, instantly complete stable quests, buy hundreds of eggs and instanty hatch them, buy all your fish from the store or insta-grow farm produce, etc. You’ll just have to be honest on this one, as I can’t really check.

2. We are a peaceful clan – so please no evil Viking names (e.g. Killer, DarkOne etc.)

3. Please friend me :) – it makes communication much easier. Friend code: AQGS7K

4. The is no requirement by activity, but it would be nice if you took part in clan events – otherwise why join a clan?

5. No trophy requirement

6. No attendance of battle events required

If your request has been declined it means you did not adhere to one of the core rules – I’m sorry :(

Hello!

I thought I should mention that the no message rule on this topic does not include tracking messages.

Feel free to track this topic :)

Hello fellow voyagers!

We have finally reached the 10 member mark and this means... (dramatic music) 

The first clan competition!

A slight digression: I will leave in a week for a long journey to the Southern seas, and will only be able to reach you by terror mail (maybe - if it won't be too far for the terrible terrors) (i.e.. I will likely not have internet access for the whole of this month). This means, I wish you a wonderful final month of summer (and the competition will last all of August).

The competition will be a screenshot and caption contest with the theme "How do dragons spend their summer"

You will have to create a short comic out of screenshots (1-4 screenshots) with a funny caption(/s). The funniest comic wins!

I will create a special thread in the "Screenshots" section of the forum with the title "How the Voyagers spend their summer". Here you will find the rules, deadlines and a place to submit your entries.

The prize will be a "nature painter" trophy with your name on it (and possibly something else - we can have a prize discussion later).

Good luck!

Please do not reply to this post or any of the posts on this topic.

Only one. Please direct all related questions to the "How the Voyagers spend their summer" topic

I am happy to finally announce our winner with the funniest summer-themed comic strip:

XxSilver.NightxX !!!

I proudly present her with the "Nature Painter" trophy and the right to choose a clan event that I will try to host in September (or early October) for her lovely comic featuring her viking Silver and Toothy the sand wraith.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Images and text by XxSilver.NightxX - I hope it's ok for me to post it here, if it's not, I'll edit the post)

Silver: Toothy what are you doing?

Thoothy: It's too hot today, so I'm refreshing

Silver: But you promised me that today we would fly...

Toothy: Just kidding...

Silver: Come on, mount the saddle and come here!

Toothy: NEVEEERR!!!!!!!!!!

Silver: Toothy if you don't come I don't give you the fish

Toothy: Nuuu, the fish noo!!

Silver: Oh, yes!

Toothy: Okay, okay... I'm coming....

Silver: Good job Toothy ^-^  And now let's fly!

Toothy: *Sgrunt* -_-

Bonus immage :D

I also want to say a big thank you to our other participant and runner up ShiroKageFox !

Hello fellow Voyagers! 

As it turned out to be problematic to get everyone in one place at one time in this busy season, the get-together plans have to be put on hold for an undetermined amount of time.

Instead, lets make the mountain climbing event more convenient:

Show your skills by making a screenshot of your viking standing heroically at the top of any mountain in the archipelago: there is only one condition - you should have scaled the mountain on your own from the very bottom, without the help of your dragon.

Scaling the cliffs on Armourwing Island and Dark Deep.

If we get enough pics, I'll try to make a mini banner of them (this might take time though, lots of work)

Other than that, a big in-game event is in planning for October :)

P.S. You can post the screenshots on this thread, but please don't reply directly to this post

Hello fellow voyagers!

I hope you are feeling adventurous, because what is a better way of celebrating Dreadfall than going on a treasure hunt?

While cleaning out my storehouse, I have found an old pad-locked box and a riddle to go with it. I'm hoping you can help me decifre these clues and find the code. 

Here is the riddle, I will add the clues in portions: 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the School, Toothless is guarding a tree.

How many pumpkins are there? Hint: not three.

Up a wild log and into a cave,

Count the barrels if you are brave.

Look out in the cave in the dark.

How many fires crackle and spark?

Where trainers fish on the beach by the sea,

How many fish are leaping free? 

You will need runes and you will need lots,

In the great cavern, count lava pots

Hobble up to the cliff that looks like a claw.

How many smaller claws can you see below? 

Stand and look over the open sea,

How many narwhal pods can you see? 

Sail among the pillars of ice and rock,

There are how many wooden docks? 

Down at Berk the fires are green.

How many can be seen? 

You have to go to the Edge really soon

And count all of Ruffnuts’ and Tuffnuts’ balloons. 

When pirates are close, you have to go under water.

How many colors of fern can you spot… er. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good luck!

Important!

If you want to enter the treasure hunt, please send me a private message stating which one of your dragons you are taking with you. The prize will be a spooky signature decoration with your dragon in it. Please only send me the answers through private messages - or it won't be any fun for others.

Please do not reply to this post, as I need to be able to edit it!

Hello fellow voyagers!

I would like to announce that the winter break has officially started for me and that means that within the next few days (once I start feeling more or less alive again :P) clan activities and contests will begin, so watch this thread!

Please do not reply directly to this comment, or I won't be able to edit it.

All winter break events will be announced on the Sunwing Winter Wonderland topic - have fun!

Hello!

I am back and at the start of a New Year, I have a few announcements to make. *Triumphant music*

1. I want to congratulate our very first elder, xxXxStarkxXxx (XxSilver.NightxX).

She has participated in (and won!) most contests this year, proudly displays our clan emblem in her signature and collaborated in a banner design. A round of applause please!

Silver, you can adress a few words to your clan members if you like (just pls don't reply directly to this post).

2. I also want to thank another person, Wutend Bonfire, for being enthusiastic about the clan and designing some great banners. She also definitely has point towards becoming an elder. Thank you and congratulations! 

3. This year two banners have been designed by our clan members, one of which, I'm ashamed to say, I forgot to show.

This one was drawn by Wutend Bonfire

Another one, a collaboration by Wutend Bonfire and XxSilver.NightxX, can be foun via this link.

(If you've noticed, yes, the emblem is different from the official clan emblem, but members are free to interpret the imagery of the clan for themselves, as long as the gold and cream colors are conserved and it fits our "freedom, goodwill, peacefullness" attitude.)

Pls don't reply directly to this post - I might have forgotten to announce something.

Hello Fellow Voyagers!

I've been thinking about this for a while, and I have decided to make Sunwing Voyager collectibles.

Now, with every big contest or event, a collectible will be released for anyone who participated to feature in their signature.

To display collectibles (and any trophies you might get!), I have designed a signature cabinet (you can use this one, or make your own if you like):

simply copy and paste these parts into your sig and size them down to width 600, then copy and paste the collectibles (size down to 200x200) between the layers (you can see an example in my sig). 

The first collectible can be found on the Sunwing Winter Wonderland page, and everyone in the clan can have one.

Pls don't reply directly to this post.

Hello!

As you might (or might not) know, the Clash of Clans is starting on the 5th of March.

I have never before taken part in it, but apparently the winners will get cool prizes.

It proceeds in rounds. Directly quoting the initial "Clash of Clans" description (this is very old, dates for 2018 will vary):

~~~~~

Week 1 (3/3 – 3/10) – POOL PLAY

This is where ALL the Clans in School of Dragons will need to give it their all because we will only choose the Top 8 Clans dependent on the highest Trophy Count to move onto the quarter finals.

Week 2 (3/10 – 3/17) – QUARTER FINALS

The top 8 Clans will be paired with each other to battle for the opportunity to move onto the next round of competition. The winning Clan with the highest Trophy count out of the two will move onto the semi finals.

Week 3 (3/17 – 3/24) – SEMI FINALS

The top 4 Clans will be paired with each other. The winning Clan with the highest Trophy count of the two will move onto the finals.

Week 4 (3/24 – 3/31) – FINALS

This is the last round of the Tournament. The championship game. It’s essentially Odin versus Thor so you definitely don’t want to miss out on this sky-high battle between the Top 2 Clans in SoD!"

~~~~~

To win you have to earn the most trophies as a clan. As far as I understand, even small clans have a chance:

~~~~~

"To win each round and ultimately, the Clash of the Clans Tournament is simple – earn more Trophies than your opponent! Note that we take the number of Clan members and the number of Trophies you earn in each round into consideration. Therefore, even if a few Dragon Trainers in a specific Clan have been more active than others, it does not mean they can outweigh the average of their entire Clan."

~~~~~

Honestly, I don't know if we have a chance or not and I am going to be buisy the next week, but I am going to try my best to earn trophies and I hope you will too.

You will also notice two clan members missing - don't worry I'm not chasing anyone out of the clan, I'm just temporarily booting an account of my friend (who I know is not going to be active anytime soon) and my second account - I'm just not sure if me participating from multiple accounts is cheating or not and I don't want them bringing down the average. 

Pls don't reply directly.
