Happy New Years Everyone. As many of you may know, Stridulfur has been on a bit of a Hiatus for the Christmas Season. Many questions have been raised regarded what happened, and what will happen.
1.) What Happened?
December started off Strong, with the beginning of Operation Hail Odinn, however an unexpected wrench was thrown into the plans when my discord account was hacked and began posting invites to a server to all my DMs and servers. Personal Servers, my irl friends, my mother, business partners, everyone was effected. After thinking I had solved the hack, it happened again. With this I decided to log out of discord for the month of December to Ensure that my account was safe. Thus why I was unable to access my Discord this month aside from the occasional drop in to check on Stridulfur.
2.) What has happened in December?
In Stridulfur itself nothing has happened from my end as the Chieftain, due to me not being able to access the discord. However, as always, I have not been sitting idle. Operations for December have simply been postponed. Sadly, objectives for Operation Hail Odinn failed to be completed by the december deadlines, due to my inability to work on them directly. Extremely regrettably, I was unable to attend our norwegian brother's Christmas Party due to my hiatus. The recruitment video that was being filmed at the beginning of the month has also had its production postponed.
3.) What will happen going into 2023?
First things first. If you do not already have access to it, here is the Stridulfur Trello Board.

This is where everything being worked on for Stridulfur is posted. I suggest you check it out to stay up to date, it has all the answers. Our first objective for the month of January is going to be Operation Hail Odinn. First section of this Operation is recruitment. The month of January will be host to the filming of Stridulfur's Traditional Carol of the Bells Video. With the video being released either on March 14th with Stridulfur's founding birthday, or sometime before then. Recruiting will be the main objective overall. Operation Hail Odinn is expected to be completed by Feburary 15th, 2023.
4.) What comes after Hail Odinn?
After hail Odinn, Stridulfur will be moving on to Stridulfur Zvietna 23. For more information on this check the Trello board. Stridulfur Zvietna is ensuring Stridulfur operations by itself without the chieftain (me). I will be working to ensure that the responsibilities of leadership are given to young men looking to learn leadership and gain experience in leadership. All of us who are currently Strid Rekkrs know, we are getting old. Youth runs out, and when that happens, the next generation of Stridulfur will take over. This can only be done with Stridulfur Zvietna succeeding, thus, after Operation Hail Odinn, Stridulfur Zvietna 23 is the immediate objective for the Army of Stridulfur.
5.) What is the Immediate Action going into 2023?
Social Media. Over the past month I have been working on Stridulfur Social Media Accounts. As of right now I am the Written Content Lead for the entire state of Oregon's OA activities, meaning I have the opportunity to work in a professional media team. I wish to give the same opportunity in Stridulfur. I am opening new positions for anyone to fill in our Media Teams. Applications will be posted on the website and on our Instagram Page by the end of January. With media teams we will expand and grow as an organization, allowing us to continue and grow our operation, as seen in our Trello. We also have the accompanying "StridVolk" project to open more streams of media exposure into our brand. Stridulfur's revenue from this last year has generated enough to pay for another year of having our website up. Meaning we are set for the upcoming year.
6.) Concluding Remarks.
It has been a wonderful year. With many ups and downs on my part, I can never stress how important your patience and support is to me. It means the world and is my reason to keep working. We can hope for the best in this upcoming year. If you have any questions please feel free to ask me here on the forum, check out our trello board, and follow our social medias for more updates. (Social Media Links can be found at the Bottom of the Home Page).
Thank you all, and happy new year. Lets make it a good one boys!
Sincerely,
-Radurhrolf Tyrsyn
Chieftain of Stridulfur (2020-)
