Tyrs Paladium is hiring! "The 30-50+ Year Olds Guild"

[LeslieWest_GuitarGod]

"Party like it's 1999."

[LeslieWest_GuitarGod]

As many long time DDO forumites might remember, Tyrs Paladium supports the Able Gamers Foundation. We proudly accept guild members with all levels of accessibility needs.

I am going to share a video and story you may never forget. To those who are parents of an autistic child... or know someone well who is, this is bound to move you.

If you are a parent, hell if you even have a pulse this will require immediate KLEENEX attention.

Having FEEL and stage presence is something ALL the music greats possess. This boy... BLIND, and AUTISTIC, simply deafens this audience in disbelief. This boy sees more than we do. His name is Christopher Duffley, and this boy... is a gift to the World.

This was the most listened to video on the Tyrs Moshpit last week.

We invite the DDO Community to enjoy our esoteric Tyrs Moshpit, BUILT SONG BY SONG by our guildies for the past 8 years. God bless Rock n Roll, and bless our guild and greater community.

Click here to play our extended playlist, built by Tyrs guildies, for the great DDO Community.

Thank you all for coming -- it was a wonderful turnout!!

TRANSCRIPT:

Tyrs Paladium's traditional opening ceremony poem (which we've recited for each ceremony we've done over the years):

"It is the Soldier, not the reporter,
Who has given us Freedom of the Press.

It is the Soldier, not the poet,
Who has given us Freedom of Speech.

It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer,
Who has given us the Freedom to demonstrate.

It is the Soldier, not the lawyer,
Who has given us the right to a fair trial;

And it is the Soldier--who salutes the flag,
Who serves the flag, and
Whose coffin is draped by the flag--
Who allows the protester to burn the flag."


--------------------------------------------


First Lt. Andrew Yacovone and First Lt. Justin Wright

Tyrs Paladium wishes to bring awareness to two brave and super talented soldiers, and especially their song which drives a STRONG MESSAGE.

Here's their story. After 15 years of war, two talented soldiers cross paths and discover a mutual love of music.
First Lt. Andrew Yacovone and First Lt. Justin Wright were Army rangers writing and producing country songs while on deployment in Afghanistan.

The pair met on their first day of infantry basic training for officers in 2014. They wrote to the USO that they had written some songs together and the USO hooked them up with sound and video equipment and they made this video while off duty, walking up and down the streets and passageways of Afghanistan… reminiscing on all the brothers they lost.
The song was released just today, and it has been dedicated to those they lost closest to them, 2LT Justin L. Sisson, PFC Jacob H. Wykstra, SSG Benjamin G. Prange, and PV2 Keith M. Williams.





Currently deployed in Afghanistan, Interstate 10 still releases their Memorial Day tribute music video (recorded in Afghanistan) to their song “I’m Gonna Miss You”. The message is simple:

“Memorial Day is about remembering the ones we lost and supporting their loved ones. It’s about celebrating the lives they lived. Thanking them for allowing us the opportunity to come home safe, and most of all, thanking them for a second chance to hug our loved ones.”

They have vouched to donate $500 to the Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation if they reach 100,000 views on the YouTube music video between Friday's release and midnight of Memorial Day. This video and song are in memory of all the soldiers who have died fighting for our country. Especially those they knew personally: 2LT Justin L. Sisson, PFC Jacob H. Wykstra, SSG Benjamin G. Prange, and PV2 Keith M. Williams.

"Please help us spread awareness and remind the public to remember this Memorial Day. For that we salute you, all the way from Afghanistan. Thank you." -Andrew and Justin

Sgt. 1st Class Benjamin B. Wise and Family

I was sent this picture a few weeks ago from a personal friend of mine and 25 year member of the US Army, who's inspired many of our military guild events over the years. It was a photo of a boy sitting in the corner of his bedroom looking at a photo of his father. It instantly drew me in. Something about that photo… there was a story that was meant to be told.

The story is indeed unforgettable. This family is only one of six families know to have had this scenario happen to them in all recorded American history.

"In Flanders Fields" remains to this day one of the most memorable war poems ever written.

Gerald Flemming wrote this beautiful music to the classic words of In Flanders Fields. Gerald is playing guitar and singing the male vocal. Allison Lynn is singing duet with him.

Caliko Kat is playing the keyboards…

I also manage to tell the story of Canada's Vimy Memorial.

Admit it, you are TIRED OF GRINDING. TIRED OF RUNNING SOLO. Or tired of being in a guild where you either don't know anybody or haven't seen them IN AGES!

Maybe you are new, or just returning after a long layoff and are looking for some direction and camaraderie.

If anything above resembles your situation -- give Tyrs Paladium a STRONG LOOK.

Because why get your shiny alone when...

it's always more fun to get that shiny IN PARTY!

Toys For Tyrs Tots REAL LIFE GUILD EVENT!

Let’s Rally for “Toys For Tyrs Tots!!”

It’s real simple. If you as a parent cannot afford to buy your children (OF ANY AGE) toys for Christmas, Hanukkah, or whatever holiday you celebrate (or even if you do not celebrate a religious holiday), Tyrs Paladium would like to make that happen for you, right now.

Tyrs Paladium is an MMO gaming guild for those 30 years of age and older, and is home to many active military and Veterans, gamers with accessibility challenges, seniors, and other friendly gamers from around the world. We specialize in no drama, no zerg team play where Camaraderie is King.


We are holding our TOYS For TYRS TOTS drive starting today through the 24th.


To be considered for help, all you need to do is contact me on http://TYRSPALADIUM.com via email me at tyrspaladiumguild@gmail.com


Tell me the situation if you wish, or simply state that you are in need. Whether you cannot buy a gift, or whether what you CAN buy your child is simply not good enough to you, and you want to give more, we want to lend a hand.


We want to also include family members and friends of Tyrs Paladium guild members, including members of the DDO FELLOWSHIP and the NEVERWINTER FELLOWSHIP in our donation drive this year. If a CHILD CLOSE TO YOU is in need, we want to assist them this holiday season. Just tell us the story.


Paks and I, the Tyrs Paladium guild founders, will keep your name, contact information, and your story absolutely CONFIDENTIAL. We will send Amazon Gift cards split based on the urgency of the need, limited only on what we can raise.


We will be accepting donations on https://www.gofundme.com/tyrs4tots as well as through PayPal.


For PayPal please click the PayPal Donate button on the bottom right of our guild website.

Last year we had two families in need, and if that number grows this year… we will be ready to give.


Thank you in advance for whatever you can donate.

If no one comes forth in need this year, we will donate to a children’s charity of the Tyrs Paladium community’s choosing (We’ll take requests then put up a poll!" Those in need, and their stories will be STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL.

Tyrs Paladium… WE ARE A DIFFERENT KIND OF GAMING GUILD. I guess many of our guildies are right… WE ARE FAMILY.

And in under 48 HOURS…. the amazing folks of TYRS PALADIUM have hit our $400 gofundme goal. At least ONE hard working single mom who is going to school while raising two kids by herself will be able to buy her children some nice presents this season.


I am real proud of this guild. I’ve been in it almost a quarter of my entire life. This is the kind of things we do here. This is the Tyrs way.

[LeslieWest_GuitarGod]

Are you READY for Reaper? Tired of the Solo-life? Want to get some help gearing up your characters?

Need some great players to help you learn your class, game mechanics, dungeon mechanics, or just want to hang with a great group of adults and mature players who enjoy having fun more than bragging about stuff?

Want to run dungeons and actually read or appreciate the quests?

We are looking to hire all levels of experience, from VIPs to Free 2 Play, from those playing the game for the first time to experienced raiders looking for more challenge. We would love to have you join us.

We are a No Drama, No Zerg adult gamers guild! We also have a top notch guild site CREATED AND RUN BY TYRS GUILDIES that has multiple functions!

Here is our guild site, swing by and read our guild rules. If they are something you pretty much already do, or they are something you can agree with, then fill out an application and we will look at it on the DOUBLE.

[LeslieWest_GuitarGod]

The Definition of a good guild in my opinion is one that lives up to it's motto and it's goals and keeps its people.

If you are new to the game, tired of your current guild, and/or want to find a FUN LOYAL GROUP who feels like a 2nd family.... Tyrs Paladium WILL DELIVER FOR YOU..

We are highly selective. Your gear means nothing to us. Neither does your game skill. What DOES MATTER is your passion to play together. To be a part of something closer knit than the status quo. We can teach you the rest! Or you can help teach others. Everyone was new once.

Guildies join and stick with Tyrs Paladium because of what we stand for. Playing the game the way it was intended to. Knowing that EVERY DAY your friends are online. Knowing they'll be there next week, next month, next year and well beyond.

We can say that because of all the awesome folks we've found, and that have found us.

Tyrs Paladium is RICH in beautiful people (and ugly dwarves with red beards!! shhh!). And we STILL LOVE our DDO!!

[LeslieWest_GuitarGod]

Do you dream of the DDO days of old, when practically EVERYONE AROUND YOU was excited about DDO? Those days never died for us.

We PLAY the game the WAY IT WAS INTENDED, TOGETHER. Tyrs will be here in 2018, 2019, 2020, and on.

We run it tight knit, and we are organized. Everyone knows everybody in Tyrs. That's the way we still like it.

Quality over Quantity. Forever.

Tyrs Paladium would like to wish all a safe and happy Easter holiday weekend with your families. BE SAFE on those roads!

[LeslieWest_GuitarGod]

Don't you wish EVERY DAY you felt IMMORTAL?? Come ride with Tyrs Paladium then!!

[LeslieWest_GuitarGod]

I am proud to say that our application was just accepted yesterday. We are the newest official sponsor of HOMES FOR OUR TROOPS!

Starting in the early fall, we will start an epic fundraising campaign for this awesome organization of volunteers that build homes for disabled veterans. There are even ways to help out beyond donating money. During our annual Tyrs Veterans Day Event, I will announce how much we've raised.

What's so cool about this is we as a guild actually pick a home project and veteran and get to be a part of the project TO COMPLETION! The best loot aint bound, it's found or earned and given away to those who need it more.

I'm going to ask guildies and the Ghallanda & Neverwinter Fellowship to spread the word when its time. Lets do something AMAZING here.. something never done before.

Here is just a sneak peak at what we will be a part of in the Fall:

[LeslieWest_GuitarGod]

The Hot Hero Sandwich band was a Felix Pappalardi production. Here they perform GET TOGETHER.... its 2017 and this CRAZY WORLD DEFINITELY NEEDS TO GET TOGETHER.... AND ENJOY A HOT HERO SANDWICH !!!
