You can apply for President if you're 18 in some countries, but nobody would give a shit so they let you do it just so you can feel gud and equal and all when in fact you're not. It isn't harmful, but it's also next to useless. Not really worth any drama over. --------------------  London RL Meeting attendee - Paris RL meeting attendee Joined WG in October 2005 - Original DG - Ex-Raid Leader Proud Council Member from October 21st 2007 to May 19th 2008 | ||||||

 IRC Nickname: DG_Keanu Group: Council Posts: 4782 Member No.: 2033 Joined: August 25, 2009 Total Events Attended: 173 | ¤ Application for Event Leader ¤ Name: WG Keanu/W3 G0T T3A Join date: App 17/10/09, grad 20/11/09 Time zone: GMT What do you have to offer as an Event Leader? Well, you can break up the title in to 'Event' and 'Leader'. For both, I can offer my knowledge, experience, effort, dedication and ability, to an extent. In one of my previous clans I held the rank Event Organiser so I have firsthand experience in organising ('Event' bit). I am keen on early hours so I can cater for all timezones like the aussies if they want a dingo hunting event or so. I'd also be willing to involve our allies to improve turnouts and strengthen relations on fun events. I've done a lot of work in the field as well (The 'Leader' bit) and have done much light boss hunting like KBD and KQ, as well as doing different PvP-related stuff with the clan (Like castlewars/interclan/fun wars and so). If I were to be promoted to Event Leader, my mission statement would be to provide a range of frequent events for which everyone in the clan can benefit from and enjoy. And I'm confident I could carry out that goal successfully. WG needs imaginative Event Leaders, someone who can think up good events. Are you this person and have you thought of any events already? (If so please name and describe them). In my opinion, I think that the events which would be most successful in WG are the ones that are both exciting and profitable. I would cater for that. I can think up a range of different events in different places and I'd definitely have a go at putting some of them to the test. I've done some work with interclan wars such as roleplaying (Knights vs Barbarians was one, where we use different outfits like full steel/monk robes respectively, similar to the veteran war) I've also had a lot of experience in the classic minigames such as Castlewars, Fight Pits and so, but I could expand to include things like trawler and skilling-based events (I especially liked the one where we did anti-RPKing at the agility arena, wouldn't mind a few of those) as long as they were to members' enjoyment. I would of course, incorporate the previously held but successful ones depending on the demand. And I will always be open to suggestions and ideas from other members as well What puts you above other people applying for Event Leader? I will actually post recaps, usually within 1 hour of the event finishing. I will also update the attendance after posting the recap. And this will continue for the full duration of my time as EL, if I were to be promoted. I think if I really had to decide on what would put me 'above' others, I'd say besides firsthand experience, it would be a strong desire to carry out the responsibilities and tasks I would have if I was promoted to EL. In short - to help do my part to make the clan better by being active and dedicated to the job. I suppose that puts me kind of on the same level as other people. Is there anything coming up in the next 6 months that could make you inactive? My band now has an explosive schedule in terms of gigs, which are usually on Friday/Saturday nights, but anything I have I can notify WG for at least 2 weeks in advance, if not more. Is there anything else you would like to say? The events I host will be our events, not my events. Hence, I would be YOUR Event Leader. WG may not have the greatest interest in non-PvP events atm, but for the people who do want an active Event Leader who hosts fun and enjoyable events, I'll do my best One problem with leadership is a tendency to start strong, then fade out into inactivity. Will you promise to uphold your duties continously throughout your service to the best of your ability? To the VERY best of my ability. I am very self-aware in terms of my ranks, and will give my best in terms of effort and dedication to the rank. I will also not be hesitant to step down and give up my rank to a more able person if I encounter issues that prevent me from doing the job successfully. --------------------  [05:42] <+WG_Keanu> I think I got a semi just looking at the pic [05:42] <%kat> same | ||||||

Rejoin- Nov. 5, 2009 Time zone: EST (GMT-5) What do you have to offer as an Event Leader? As an Event leader, I offer my ingenuity. With this I will be able to create events that appeal to all members. Along with my ingenuity, my activity also stands out. I am able to devote a great portion of my free time to creating and hosting events. WG needs imaginative Event Leaders, someone who can think up good events. Are you this person and have you thought of any events already? (If so please name and describe them). As a Guardian, I have made and suggested events. On a recent topic, I suggested several events, and described them.
I made all but the kegger up (had the idea before) within five minutes. I could easily make several events a week. One thing I would love to do is a skill war against another clan for RSC post. What puts you above other people applying for Event Leader? Along with my ingenuity, my devotion puts makes me a good candidate for the position. I am willing to spend my free time creating events and hosting events, along with being active in our war/pvp side. Is there anything coming up in the next 6 months that could make you inactive? Nothing at all. At most I may have small trips (two-three days if that) which won't be frequent at all (once a month max). Is there anything else you would like to say? I am also applying for Raid Leader. Not because I am seeking to become a staff member, but because I feel as though I can be of help in both positions. One problem with leadership is a tendency to start strong, then fade out into inactivity. Will you promise to uphold your duties continously throughout your service to the best of your ability? I promise to remain as active in WG as I have for the last three months. --------------------    | ||||||

I really hope the Council and tertiaries take into account not just their personal feelings for or against applicants, but also projections for capabilities further down the road. I hope they take into account not just actions that directly affect their capabilities in this position, but how their other actions may help in determining their true capabilities. Good luck to all. -------------------- | ||||||

 IRC Nickname: WG Justin Group: Banned Posts: 372 Member No.: 74 Joined: January 1, 2008 Total Events Attended: 110 | ¤ Application for Event Leader ¤ Name: WG Justin (or Justin) Join date: 21 March 2005 Time zone: Australian Eastern Standard Time What do you have to offer as an Event Leader? I have many years experience in this clan and have a fairly good knowledge of how things are run, I am also very active member in Runescape, IRC, and also Mumble (I believe a push needs to be made for greater use of audio as it is a much better form of communication than IRC). I am extremely flexible with time and am capable of hosting/attending events at any time of the day or night. I am also an ideas man, I tend to sit back and listen and observe peoples needs and then think about things over periods of time and try and come up with solutions for their needs, but more on that in the following section. WG needs imaginative Event Leaders, someone who can think up good events. Are you this person and have you thought of any events already? (If so please name and describe them). I am not so much into making complex original events or being imaginative, i'd like to see myself as a person who would strive to get our members more involved with each other on a more friendly and personal level and bring past ideas into action with more emphasis. Some ideas I have and would like to introduce: - I'd like to see things like Skill Of The Week up and running with maybe 3 or 4 events focusing on that skill each week, in doing this members have double incentive, attendance for attending events whilst gaining exp for the skill of the week which may also give them attendance. - I would also like to introduce focus weeks: This in a sense would be orientated with more than just skilling events, each week I would like to see a few events run with the focus decided upon in a poll, what this would enable us to do is see where we think our weakness is at that point in time and focus upon it, it could be say a week where we go practice our binds and tanking because we are binding and tanking poorly the week before, with this we could chop and change the locations we practice at, eg Castle Wars, Fight Pits, and Clan Wars. - I would also like to push some events and make them a regular occurrence that involve skills that will benefit our clan as a whole in wars, for example a weekly agility event, where we go to variant agility courses each week, and a weekly money making event where we go kill big bosses or do some other form of money making. What puts you above other people applying for Event Leader? I have knowledge in this role having been an event leader a few years ago, I know what it takes and the responsibility involved, I also have an extremely flexible lifestyle which almost enables me to be available 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Is there anything coming up in the next 6 months that could make you inactive? Nope, i'll have too much time on my hands. Is there anything else you would like to say? I would just like to take the opportunity to wish all the other applicants best of luck, i'm happy to say you would all make great event leaders. One problem with leadership is a tendency to start strong, then fade out into inactivity. Will you promise to uphold your duties continously throughout your service to the best of your ability? Absolutely I plan to place much time and effort into this role should I be elected. -------------------- WG SINCE 21 MARCH 2005 | ||||||

| IRC Nickname: Kcross|RDC Group: Banned Posts: 2535 Member No.: 1723 Joined: February 16, 2009 Total Events Attended: 202 | ¤ Application for Event Leader ¤ Name: Kcross73 Join date: December 24th (Trial), January 7th (Full member) Time zone: Central What do you have to offer as an Event Leader? Well, let's start with my activity. I am an active RuneScape player, but an even more active WG member. What I mean by this is in addition to the time I spend scaping for my own personal enjoyment, I also scape for the good of my clan. I am constantly training my combat stats to improve my PvP ability so I preform better in wars and I always attend events whenever I can. Even when I'm not playing RS, I'm usually interacting with the clan somehow through IRC or Mumble. I may not be the type to spend hours at a time on RS, but I don't believe that is what makes somebody an active member. As for things I would add to the EL position, I would start by making sure the events are interesting and able to be attended by as many people as possible. If I make an event, I will make sure that it will get more than two or three people attending it. If I don't think an event is up to higher standards, then I will not post it just for the sake of setting up another event. I will do my best to present events in a manner that would make you not want to miss it. Another thing I would try to fix is the amount of people being able to go to a certain event. People have lives, and things they would rather do than go to a WG clan event, that's just the way it is. Before finalizing an event, I would make sure that I would get a good turn out by asking a handful of people if they'd be able to go to it, and if they think it'd a good event idea in general. I feel that's the best way to ensure an event has a good turnout. I would also listen to peoples complaints/suggestions for event times that would be fitting for them. Another thing I would bring to the EL position is creating more allied events. I believe our allies TBE and TDM are extremely underutilized and somewhat ignored, and I don't think WG should continue merely acknowledging that they're there. We often have raids with The Sabres (and do things like invite them along to boss hunting trips with us) and while we won't be able to do the same with TBE and TDM, that doesn't mean they should go ignored. I believe allied events are not only a good way for us to get to know our allies better, but they would help some of our events be more active as well. Having been in TDM for a long time prior to joining WG, I am very comfortable with them and I know what types of events work and don't work with them. WG needs imaginative Event Leaders, someone who can think up good events. Are you this person and have you thought of any events already? (If so please name and describe them). I don't exactly have a list of potential events written out on a huge sheet of paper posted to my bedroom wall, but that doesn't mean I'm un-imaginative. I can be creative if I want to be, and thus I can make creative events. I would try to stay away from events that bore easily, such as certain group skilling events where everybody just sits there chopping wood not saying a word. I would try to incorporate some type of competition into the events I make, whether it involves killing somebody in PvP or getting more monster drops than the other person. I would also like to have events involving some of the underused minigames in RS, such as Duel Arena, Castlewars, Trouble Brewing, Pyramid Plunder, etc. I'd also involve Mumble somehow with every event I make, as I think it enhances all events. What puts you above other people applying for Event Leader? I am willing to put my clan above myself and do everything in my power to ensure that I am doing the right thing for my clan. I am not applying for this position to get a higher rank, but instead to give this clan a dedicated, hard-working event leader. I also have a wide range of hours I am online, so I wouldn't be hosting events at the same times all the time. Is there anything coming up in the next 6 months that could make you inactive? I can't foresee anything happening in the near future that would make me inactive. Is there anything else you would like to say? I know I posted before saying I would not apply at this time, but I have (obviously) changed my mind. I've decided to not let another opportunity pass me by in life, even if it is something non-RL related like this. That doesn't mean that this is unimportant to me, because it definitely is. One problem with leadership is a tendency to start strong, then fade out into inactivity. Will you promise to uphold your duties continously throughout your service to the best of your ability? I will absolutely try my best to remain active for WG, and do not think I will fade out into inactivity. If, however, I find myself in a state of prolonged inactivity for whatever reason, I will have no issue with giving up my event leader to somebody who is more active than I. -------------------- Kcross73 – KevCross – Kevin Proud Trial Guardian: December 24, 2009 – January 10, 2010 Proud Guardian: January 10, 2010 – February 13, 2010 Proud Event Leader: February 13, 2010 – November 27, 2010 Proud Council: November 27, 2010 – July 5, 2011 | ||||||
