Marsh – Hello Water Vikings!! Welcome to another week of awards! We headed out and interviewed this weeks award winners to ask about their experiences in WV, their goals, and just a little bit about them!
Viking of the Week: Gallaeon
Interview by Vill
Tell us something about yourself?
I’m a really big fan of vintage tech! I spend a lot of time looking for discarded or broken tape recorders, discmans, etc. to eventually fix them. It’s a little tough and sometimes i break things,, but i love figuring out an issue and seeing the fruits of my labor.
What is your personal goal in WV?
My personal goal in WV is to have fun, really! I joined on a whim a while back, but now that i have some free time i’m really happy i did! Even though it started as me having some free time and nothing else to do, I’m so glad I joined those events. We have a wonderful community and I’m lucky to be a part of it.
Did you expect to receive this award?
Not at all, haha. I was vaguely aware of the award, but I wasn’t really actively thinking I would win it. But regardless, I’m grateful I did 😀
Is there anyone you would like to thank?
Man, too many people to count on one hand, haha. I’d like to thank Kath, for being so welcoming and explaining everything to me back when I first joined even though I asked her a million questions LOL. I’d also like to thank Isagi, because even though he’s always poking fun he’s really kind deep down. Last but not least, I’d like to thank Thalia, Cobra, Anna, Sarah, Marsh, Ango, Stefan and Pingo for being so friendly with me and making me feel part of the WV Family so quickly!! WV FOREVERRR
Staff of the Week: Emjay
Interview by Lydia
Tell me about yourself!
I’m Emjay aka the baldest Mexican. I joined WV 6 months ago thanks to Escot and never looked back. Got into VA in May and by the end of September had worked my way to Viking Chief. WV has become a wonderful part of my life and I’m really thankful to be SOTW 🙂
What’s the most rewarding part about being WV staff?
Being able to help build and contribute to such a wonderful community. I’ve met such amazing people in the time I’ve been in WV and I think there’s something really special about being able to be Staff in an environment that brings people together from many different backgrounds!
What keeps you motivated in WV?
Honestly, it’s seeing the community grow. It’s amazing to see the hard work and effort everyone puts pay off, whether it’s a successful event, active troops or even just everybody bonding in main chat.
What advice would you give to an incoming staff member?
There will be times when things get difficult or you feel like you’re not doing enough, but even the smallest contributions matter. You’re now part of a team, so don’t be afraid to lean on us if you ever need. We’re here to learn, grow and support each other <3
Recruiter of the Week: Kai
Interview by Leo
Tell me a bit about yourself?
I’m Kaiban and i joined wv in summer of this year i love the army and i love the people in it aswell. My rank is Viking Commodore which i got quickly within my first few weeks of joining the army i also have gotten many awards like this one
What motivates you to recruit?
My motivation to recruit is that if i recruit we’ll have higher numbers in battles which means we’ll win trophies i don’t really know how to explain the motivation part because i owe everything of my recruiting to Cabin
What advice would you give to someone afraid to recruit?
My advice? I would tell them that recruiting is just part of the things that is in the structure of an army and is important for an army and it helps us loads since when we increase numbers by recruiting it means that we get higher numbers during tournaments and battles which eventually leads to more trophies
What is your personal goal in WV?
My personal goal to WV is to contribute everything i can and to help with the growth of the army also to just help new troops andhave fun!
