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.
How many strips are we allowed to submit?
Only one. Please direct all related questions to the "How the Voyagers spend their summer" topic
With the voting complete, our most popular option was number 9:
So without further ado, our new clan hidout - The cove on Titan Island
If you want to take a clan picture in our new hideout, lets organise a meeting in the clan letters (I'll replace the current screenshot with the group one).

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* -_-

Hello!
After what I hope was a great summer for everyone, school & university are back.
To start off a good academic year, I think we should have our first official in-game clan get-together!
Now I know our members are expert dragon flyers, but how good are you at adventuring without your dragon? To test this I want to announce a mountain climbing contest!
You have to start at the camp and on the signal, try to be the first to reach the peak over the waterfall.
The winner is the first viking to set foot on the peak platform (there will be a ref there - probably me - who will be recording the event). Here is the catch - it is forbidden at any point from the start of the race to mount your dragon (anyone on a dragon after the race starts is automatically disqualified). May the swiftest climber win! (yes, it is allowed to practice)
After the race, we will head back to our clan hideout for our first official clan meeting - the goal of which is to make a picture off all clan members who can attend. Maybe I can make the first provisional clan banner from it :) You can wear whatever best represents your OC, but please wear a shield with our clan emblem.
This will be followed by a dance party (I got the idea from WutendBonfire - so I hope you can give me some tips on what to do? :D - it sounds very fun). For the occasion, I propose for members to find and suggest music from YouTube that people can listen to during the party (keep it PG-13 & no swearing pls) - best of all if it's happy and uplifting and goes with the dragon/voyager theme. (All suggestions to be posted on the clan letters). Also, the dance party is for everyone, not only for members: so if you want to bring any friends, it's greatly encouraged! (The exact time when the dance will start - real-time, with reminders - will be posted on clan letters)
I hope to see all of you at the get-together!

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!
I would like to present all of our members with a ticking thing of my own making (HTTYD book series reference).
It includes a compass, watch, thermometer, chronometer and other things I'm not even sure about myself.
Feel free to add it (or not add it) to your signature.
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!
Hey I'd like to join this clan.
Do I need to have some trophies or I can enter?
I've readen the rules and I agree, I just want to know if trophies are needed
Nope, trophies not required. You're welcome to join!
Traking for easy access!
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.
Luckkky! I still have several more days =(
=-)

All winter break events will be announced on the Sunwing Winter Wonderland topic - have fun!
Please don't reply directly to this post.
I would like to congratulate our winner: the farm of Stark by XxSilver.NightxX. The farm is not only well decorated,
but also has a festive Snoggletog corner.
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.
Oh wow, thank you so much!!! I haven't words but I'm so happy!!! :D (I'm crying of joy xD)
im having 'breakfast' at 1pm and haven't slept before 1:30am for a solid week.
maybe two weeks
im gonna be a great elder.
(also crabs and clams are people)
(legit or quit)
Ooookay, with that, let's transfer any further conversation to the clan letters
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!
Check out our Friendship Festival poem competition! <- click to get there
Theme: What sort of love poems would vikings send each other.
Have fun :D
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.
I went ahead and created a discord channel specifically for our clan as an experiment.
The link to it is here.
Rules: same as clan (so swearing, keep it PG, no evil names, be nice, don't reveal personal info - all the usual)
Discord will give you an option to download it as an app - don't do it (I haven't tried it and I don't know what will happen), just follow the option "Open Discord". My original post about this is on the clan letters - which, along with the journal, will still be functioning.
I can not answer for the whole Discord community, nor can I guarantee that you won't find something you don't want to find there, so I strongly encourage newcomers to keep to the channel I created.
The journal will still be the main announcement page, but I will notify on Discord when I post something here.
If the discord thing starts causing any trouble, the channel might be closed without warning - so be Warned!
Also you will be asked to verify your identity as a member of this clan - I will send you a code word through PM on this forum and you will have to text it in discord.
I really hope this works out well :D
Pls don't reply directly.

Hello fellow voyagers!
I am launching a tial forum game and spots are prioritized for clan members :)
Click here to see if your dragons can succeed in their quest for the sunfruit in The great dragon migration!
Hello fellow Voyagers.
I have been very inactive the past few moths due to studies (my apologies), but now I am back and I want to revive this clan. However, before I start working on it, I have an issue I want to bring before current clan members.
I have been thinking for quite a while, and I am considering removing the no membership/ no gems rule.
My initial reasoning for instating it has been the following:
Memberships and gems make gameplay too easy, people immediately get all the dragons, max out on all levels/achievements, complete all the expantions and become bored by the game, soon leaving. Besides, having 50+ dragons, in my opinion, undervalued the idea of the a movies about having a special rider-dragon bond. I felt like putting in more effort and patientce makes the game more interesting and realistic and wanted a clan of like-minded people.
However now I have found three reasons against this rule:
1. I have seen people who have / had memberships and have been playing for years. They are still interested and invested in the game and, despite having loads of dragons, have backstories / connections with them.
2. Even though I wouldn't get membership for myself because I usually don't spend money in online games, I really like the SoD game and think that the creators are doing a pretty good job (even in the light of the current issues brought by the update - *cough* constant server timeouts *cough**cough*). I think that they deserve to make some profit. I don't flatter myself that someone would avoid buying a membership to be in my clan, but I still don't want to descourage anyone who has carefully thought about it and wants to get one.
3. I want this to be an active clan with active events and I feel like we really need more people for that.
My vision for the future of this clan is a non-competitive, gameplay/events based/ maybe even RP clan. I still plan to emphasize the peaceful/friendly/non-conflict nature of the clan.
So I would really like to hear your opinions on whether to waive the non-members rule before advertising a new round of member recruitement.
Also I am curious about who is still paying attention to the clan, so even if you don't have an opinion on the rule, please make yourself heard (inactive members might get expelled if the recruitment get very lively).
Feel free to respond on this thread, but pls don't reply directly to this post.
I personally think you should go ahead and allow members if you'd like. I don't know if I'd become a member myself, although I have considered it, but I don't think that should always be a restriction.
As for my activity in this clan, I really haven't been on lately. I love the game and this clan and being "Eratagh" and it's always been the perfect escape to just log on and fly around a bit. However, I just graduated high school and I'm going away for the summer. I'll still have internet and now that I'm getting a laptop I'll have better access to the game and this forum but I don't know how much time I can dedicate to playing. When I get back in early October I'll have more time and I don't plan on starting classes until January or maybe even Spring. I'd love to keep being a part of this community but in the near future it isn't that realistic. So I apologize in advance and I'll try to keep in touch via Discord (if the Discord is still a thing we're using lol).
- Jace <3
Yeah, it's ok. I'm going to try and come up with activities that don't consume a lot of time. I'm also not sure how often I'm going to be online - there is always some sort of real life thing that interferes just when I think that "Now I have a lot of time to play" XD.
