The guild leadership had a meeting tonight to talk about some guild concerns and issues. The following were in attendance:
Maube
Kytae
Smedlock
Verissi
Vrugz
Grawuulf
Volonazra
Baracko
Raeda
Some topics of discussion were:
Enforcing RP in guild chat. This has been improving over the last two weeks or so. Keep up the good work all! We realize that we want a general socializing channel, so I will work on getting a CS out of character channel created that is password protected. We will continue to give private messages to people that constantly OOC in guild chat.
In addition, we discussed the impression that guild members are having about cliques forming among the guild leadership. We have committed to ask in guild chat when we form a group, but at the same time we won't wait for one to occur! You have the power to start something yourselves! Baracko will be making an additional post regarding this.
There was discussion brought forward to change the current guild admission guidelines. Vrugz will make a proposition to the rest of the elders for review. It is my opinion that we should have peons admitted to the guild upon acceptance of their application, and then their FULL membership be granted at the council of honor with the status of GRUNT and the good old pee tub cleaning. More details to come.
We are also going to make some changes to the website regarding the rules/policies/procedures. Many people seem to be lacking a "who we are" and "what we're about". Grawuulf has volunteered to assist us in this and propose it within the next week. Upon acceptance of this it will be updated to the website.
Leadership roles- Elders and Warmongers wanted further clarification on their duties/roles/responsibilities. We hammered those out a bit...although it was at the end of the meeting and my notes are pretty sketchy on that.
Who we are: many members have been asking about the direction of the clan and what we are about. We have affirmed we are the following:
1/3 RP guild. Having RP events, RP in guild chat, and overall RP FUN!
1/3 Grouping/questing/family events. Helping each other and fostering a team environment.
1/3 Raiding guild. Self explanitory.
Our direction? Well, that is hard to say as a MMORPG has no "END". But our overall direction is to continue our third, third, and a third principle. Baracko will comment more on what our Raid progression is looking like.
Communication- we wish to give more direction to the clan with thoughts to communication. It is too difficult to do this in game as we only have 2 guild meetings a month, and we have decided to make more use of the forums to convey the leaderships ideas/agenda etc... When an important post is made, we will change the MOTD to let everyone know to read the forums (as i did with this post)
If you have any questions please feel free to message me. Over the next week as everyone finishes their assignments given from the leadership meeting, we will post the more "final details"
Dat iz all. Dabu!
