 IRC Nickname: Zemus Group: Elite Guardian Posts: 2786 Member No.: 128 Joined: January 12, 2008 Total Events Attended: 275 | Application for Council 1. Have you read and understood the warning? Yes 2. What makes you think you can last a long term in the council? I think i could last a long time in the council as i've been in a leadership position in the past (not wg though). I pretty much know what to expect, i know theres a lot of work and time that needs to be dedicated, but I am willing to do that. 3. Is there anything coming up in the next 6 months that could make you highly inactive? No, I do have school but that shouldn't really affect my activity to much. 4. Why are you applying for council? I've been in WG for almost 2 years now, and this is probably the weakest i've seen WG at so far. We need a new council member who is experienced,friendly,active, and whom can last a long while as council. I believe i can fullfill all those, and will try my best to get WG where it should be. 5. What does WG need most and what will you do as a council member? Right now WG needs a few things to get back on track; Recruitment Our numbers are falling, and we need some new members in WG. We need to get our name out more, post on more forums and do some recruitment based events. There are only a couple members in WG who i've seen gotten a new member to join, we will need more then that if we're going to rise back to the top. Moral With this recent slump, our moral is pretty low. People are leaving, activity is diminishing, we need to get our moral back up. Have some more fun, get together on TS more and have some fun events or wars that we have a good chance in winning. Active Leadership Overall our activity could be better, but without active leadership we aren't going to get very far. I am active not only on the forums/irc but also RS, and i think it would be much better to have more involvement with members, instead of everyone just going off and doing their own thing all the time. 6. What puts you above other people applying for council? :Experience:Leading TGC for about 8 months, i've had quite a lot of experience with ACP/ Mod Cp and admin irc. I'm a fairly quick learner so anything new shouldn't really be a problem. I've also been in WG for almost 2 years so I know how things are run etc. :Friendly: I'm easy to get along with and good friends with most of WG anyway, so I will have no problem speaking with WG or answering any questions that may come up. :Activity: I'm pretty active on RS and irc/forums, which is what WG needs. If the leaders arent active, then how can we expect the members to be? 7. What is your greatest weakness in terms of being a leader? Only thing i can think of is sometimes I don't really take things too seriously, but when i do need to be serious (like now), i can be. 8. Is there anything else you would like to say? Just a few things, first of all: • Ok i know i've left WG a couple times in the past, but they we're for valid reasons and i promise I will not be leaving WG again. • I'm not higher guardian, but i have been given Lordys permission to post. I've been in WG for almost 2 years and have been promoted to Higher twice. • And lastly, good luck to everyone else applying, we really do need a dedicated new council to get us out of this slump. 9. Do you agree to provide the council with two weeks notice if you wish to resign?

 IRC Nickname: Wayne|Eregion2 Group: Emeritus Posts: 3087 Member No.: 156 Joined: January 25, 2008 Total Events Attended: 8 | Reasons possibly invalidating my application: There are three:
 Application for Council: 1. Have you read and understood the warning? Yes I have; having given Elias a considerable amount of trouble in the past I might be more aware than most about what the council and above can be put through. So yeah, whatever flack I get I guess I've earned. 2. What makes you think you can last a long term in the council? Zero social life.  I don't have much else to do over the summer and I work steady hours so they're easy to plan around. I'd like to pick up on more raids in warcraft over the summer, but I'm more than willing to let that take a back seat to WG.3. Is there anything coming up in the next 6 months that could make you highly inactive? There are two possibilities:
4. Why are you applying for council? Because I know I can help. We've been told the council is overworked and understaffed; I'm awesome at doing mediocre-repetitive work, and I have several hours a week at work with a computer with nothing else to do anyway (that's where I am right now, actually). A second reason is I want to find out what it's like. I've never actually done much for this clan besides argue about stuff; after four years I kind of feel obligated to get off my ass (figuratively) and try and do something worthwhile (I first joined on May 2nd, 2005: exactly four years ago).
 Also feel 110% free to criticize me! In fact if I'm in a conversation I'd much rather it involve someone criticizing me than just going on blandly about how I'm doing a good job, it's much more useful.Time for my sales pitch.  I don't see myself being a very game-active council member. I certainly WILL be around and will occasionally host my own events (I'm working on one right now that I'll eventually host whether or not I am elected) but I'm not a 24/7 Runescapian anymore. As I've said before, this should give me a great opportunity to focus on more mundane aspects of the council where I can be the most helpful from my point of view. If I am elected to find out this is entirely skewed and there's absolutely no way I can be a council member without stepping up my game (you lost it) then I'll take the necessary steps or step down while being as helpful as I can be in the meantime. This is an entirely new thing for me, I'm not really sure what to expect. Now that that's out of the way, some specifics:
The Skilling Side of WG: We've been neglecting this for YEARS. If we decide to attempt something similar to sectors again I'll help lead it with no reservations; optimally that's probably the absolute best role I could possibly fulfill as a council member. If we don't go that far, I'll still do my best to give skillers an equal share in WG (which they have more than earned and clearly deserve). The Skillers/Warmongers Fiasco: My position is pretty simple; I firmly believe that until warmongers and skillers both have their own unique and equal shares in the clan we will be unable to improve ourselves in either category. The warmongers are being held back by a large number of clan members who aren't interested in fights, and the skillers are basically the Jonah's of the whole clan, getting blamed for every weak raid or failed fight we have. If we can balance ourselves fairly we'll improve so quickly the clan world will be like:  .The Application Process: I'm not sure if I can bring anything new to the table with this or not, but I'd like to see if it can be streamlined, at once making it a bit easier to apply but at the time time requiring some more attention to detail (personally I will auto-fail anyone who is allergic to punctuation for no given reason, with a link to Basic Grammar and an invitation to return when they're willing to take the whole thing seriously). Promotions: Like the application process, I'm not sure if I can bring anything new to the table with promotions either, but personally I don't really like how they're set up right now. It seems too unpredictable and has taken away alot of the emphasis there used to be about clan participation compared to the '05-'06 era. If there's anything I can do here I'd like to have an opportunity to work with the rest of the council and try to do it. Sense of Achievement: We've lost it, completely. We need to decide where we want to go, and introduce incentives to make getting there both fun AND interesting for everyone. A simple way this could be maintained is through requirements for different clan ranks, but I'm sure there are other ways and if I'm elected this will be one of the areas I focus on especially. Working with the Council and the Clan: I'm really looking forward to it. I think it's important that we are able to work together, not all run off and do our own thing. I have no idea how the council works internally, I just wanted to say that that's my ultimate goal in this. I'm also very interested in involving the rest of the clan in different ways if it's at all possible; that's something to be explored if I'm elected. This would require me to base my application on what others have already written. I decided earlier that I wouldn't do that; I'm here to present what I think I am reasonably capable of doing to the best of my ability. If you read my application and don't really see anything better here than from what you've read in any of the others, then don't vote for me; that's how it should work anyway. 7. What is your greatest weakness in terms of being a leader? There are two:
8. Is there anything else you would like to say? Did you know Obama (under the alias John Omaha) has been featured in the Air Gear manga and during the storyline he accidentally ended up switching bodies with one of the female adolescent characters to the enumeration of much hilarity? He did! And it was awesome. I'm also a mathematical manga otaku and I'm in favor of taking 3 combat levels off the entry requirement for anyone who knows what that means (just kidding). 9. Do you agree to provide the council with two weeks notice if you wish to resign? Absolutely, with the exception of dealing with my Mother's illness. Family is first (but I'll do everything possible to give as much warning as I can if there is any warning). Besides that I'm good.  Damn that's long; ok! I'm off to read everyone else's applications now, kudos.  PS: I will also fix THIS as soon as I have access. It's been six weeks sheesh! --------------------  | ||||||||||||||||

It's a little known fact that Saad actually does have a time machine. He's been known to dress up as several different characters (mostly female) and engage in time-traveling cosplay.There's also a theory he's responsible for the encoded leet-speek in President Lincoln's Gettysburg Address and that he's tried on several occasions to make Benjamin Franklin electrocute himself during the original kite flying experiment, as well as being responsible for stealing Jesus's body following his crucifixion. I think it's in his basement somewhere behind the Ark of the Covenant. -------------------- | ||||||||||||||||

| IRC Nickname: Indivi2you Group: Elite Guardian Posts: 5361 Member No.: 43 Joined: December 30, 2007 Total Events Attended: 623 | Application for Council 1. Have you read and understood the warning? -Yes, I have read the warning and completely understand what I am applying for. 2. What makes you think you can last a long term in the council? -I've been around for quite some time now. Many, if not all, members know me, and know how I function. I am usually always calm, and from seeing past council members I have gathered some information. They have lost a lot of time of playing runescape from the position. I have time to give up. My life is at a point where I can devote to WG as I have for the last 2+ years. 3. Is there anything coming up in the next 6 months that could make you highly inactive? - Nothing will make me "highly inactive". I am always around for WG, and ready to attend events and give time. I’ve never been “inactive”. Even when my computer was down all of the summer of 2008, I found a way to do my job. The most part would be my exams at the end of the school year. But I can still take part in WG. 4. Why are you applying for council? -Well, first off, i have been given many push ons from the current members. I know i have the right material for WG's council spot. I do my best to always help, i try and keep things going for WG. It may not make the most difference, but anything is anything. Right? I know i have the time and devotion for this position. I've been giving that to WG for a long time. Again, I've seen so many councils, and what they have done. I learned so much from each and every one of them. The right and wrongs, what to do and what not to do. I also have over a year of experience as an Event Leader. I’ve seen how WG works in and out of leadership. I want to be the person to help bring WG back on its feet. I WANT to help to the full potential I have. 5. What does WG need most and what will you do as a council member? -Off the time I've seen, WG has an amazing community. Now, to show that we use great events, chat in the IRC, and have great reputation in the clan world because of our amazing members and their kindness. WG has bloomed on and off, I'm trying to make it bloom more! But a clan doesn’t work a 80/20 way split. It is a 50/50 offering from both the members and the leaders. After the mass leavings, our numbers obviously dropped. But it showed who really cares about WG enough to stick around. I respect you all a lot. But what we need to do is push 3 major things: Activity, Recruitment, and Respect for each other. Activity: It would seem everyone puts this in their council application. The reason being(if you haven't gotten the hint yet) is because this is one of the biggest factors in a clan's prosperity. We need people to be active in-game, on IRC, and on forums. There have been WAY too many people skipping events with lame excuses. These events are MAJOR and play a huge role in showing what this clan really is. I'll make sure that this becomes solved. On the topic of activity, we need constant activity checks. They are vital for what we need for wars and events. I'll be sure to hold more of these. It only helps, and shows that we can overcome. It shows who's really in WG for the community, for fun, and to help. It also shows the people who are just there to be in a clan by name. The people who are just there to chill. Not only is activity checks something that we need. It’s just activity overall. There are far less people than there used to be. Which is why it really shows who’s devoted. The 50 or 60 people who are left from the mass leavings are supposed to be the most dedicated members. I do not see that for I’d say 80% of you. All events are lame attendance. EVEN the mandatory attendances are pathetic. I go to events and I know who’s there and who isn’t. You cannot disagree with me. I plan on fixing this problem, i may be a bit strict but that is exactly what WG needs right now. Recruitment: Yeah well we haven't done the best job recruiting since the mass leavings, but I know we can do better. I'm not the best recruiter, I'm actually a pretty bad one. But even I promise to try harder, its actually one of my weaknesses. I want every member to go through their friends list and see every non-WG and non-NH clanners and tell them about WG. We need to find new upcoming websites and try recruiting on those too. Any new chances we find, we need to try and recruit. Also, we have to work on bumping our recruitment topics especially in RSB. That's a big way to show people in-game who are new to clans. So yeah, we really need to work on recruiting and i hope to improve it. Respect for each other: In all this drama and commotion we need to remember to friendship in WG. We are a family, and the most important thing is sticking together. That's what gets us through everything for the last 5+ years! Remember to respect, remember to talk nicely, and remember to just have a laugh. This is an online game, we need to relax sometimes. But when seriousness comes, you must be ready. I just want to make sure that people know who i am. I don't want my writing to go off saying a bunch of things and then me not doing it. I am not the best writer, but hopefully I can get the council position off what people already know about me, and know that I'm fit for the spot. 6. What puts you above other people applying for council? -I will stress 4 things that i think are major roles that help me prove worthy for the council position. 1. My devotion and time to WG - I've been with WG for a long period in time. Always showing my best for WG, making events and helping people whenever they need it. 2. My Maturity - To speak the truth, I believe I am more mature than half the clan. My age may come to your thoughts, but I behave nowhere near what people come to think. When a seriously problem comes up, I am there to solve it out figure it out and do everything possible to help. 3. My Activity - I have come to the conclusion that I feel confident to say that I am the most active person in WG when it comes to events, being in game, on the IRC and TS. I not only come to events, I host events regularly even though it’s my job...?(lol) I think this brings in a huge factor to why I am worthy for the position. 4. My Experience - It's been over a year since I've been an event leader. I know how to work IRC, I know how to use the Mod CP which isn't very different from Admin CP(i hope), I know how to update the attendance, and I'm very familiar with TeamSpeak. I've also learned to cope with stress. It may seem like i hate my job, but I sometimes get frustrated as any leader would when things just don't go well. I have the leader experience, even though it isn't the same with council, i find it is probably very similar. 7. What is your greatest weakness in terms of being a leader? - I do admit i have this 1 thing that i have never overcame. I'm a terrible recruiter. I've never put 100% effort into recruiting, but even when i did try, i never did too well. I have a a decent conversation with people about how great WG is, and i can persuade people very well. I just don't know where to find people, or how to recruit with RSC and stuff. -I also want to say, I am fairly young, 15. Although my level of work and maturity is much higher, things do slip and sometimes are bound to slip. And that's when true age shows. I can do some stupid things, or just react in a non-leader-like manner. But that happens VERY rarely. 8. Is there anything else you would like to say? -Well, for those who know me, and those who don't. I am not the best writer. All i can do is try to put my thoughts off writing on this computer. All i can say is, don't only look at the application. Look at what not only I have done, but all the other applicants. And then decide who to choose. -Good luck to EVERYONE that applies. I wish you all only the very best! And whoever is chosen will fit the spot perfectly. And to those that vote, vote right! Take the voting as a serious matter. Actually take the time to read the applications, and make sure you know the people well enough to chose them into your council. 9. Do you agree to provide the council with two weeks notice if you wish to resign? -Yes, I agree.

 IRC Nickname: bto Group: Emeritus Posts: 3815 Member No.: 196 Joined: February 3, 2008 Total Events Attended: 332 | I will try to keep my application brief and to the point, as most of you won't take in the information anyway  Application for Council 1. Have you read and understood the warning? Yes 2. What makes you think you can last a long term in the council? We have seen some of our best friends go. We have struggled through chaos, hate, and indifference. Many of these situations seemed hopeless at first, but we kept our heads high, remained strong, and continued fighting. I am a very loyal and determined person. I have been in WG for over 2 years now, and we've survived through many ordeals. In one month, I will have served one year as a Raid Leader. However, the most important thing is not my past history. I am applying for council, not because I want the power. I've had 2-3 opportunities where I have been pressured by both membership, staff, and council to apply, but I never cared for it. I don't care about the power. I am applying because I want change, and I feel like I am one of the best candidates for it. If anything, my determination and will to help is the sole reason for me believing that I can do this. 3. Is there anything coming up in the next 6 months that could make you highly inactive? I plan on getting a job over the summer. My social life is getting much better (bto gud with t3h ladies!?), and I plan on hanging out with my friends much more often. However, I feel that I will still be active and able to help. Summer is coming up soon; there will be plenty of time for life and RS. 4. Why are you applying for council? I have seen many WG leaders come and gone by. I have seen WG slump many times. We've been through situations where we thought the end was near. Out of my two years here, I have never been more afraid for the welfare of WG. The people that have been pressuring me to apply know that I've never wanted council. I didn't see the reason; I didnt want the power, and I knew that I could still be influential as a Raid Leader. But lets admit; for most of us (excluding you old skool) , this is probably the scariest time to be WG. We are struggling against not a slump, but for survival itself. WG needs change. WG needs someone who will do what is neccessary. I have seen many great council members serve, but what tends to happen is that they fade out. They will make changes and things, but eventually, they become burned out or inactive. Again, I am not here for the power. Many of you that know me know I have never wanted power. I am here because WG needs help from me more than ever, and I think that I am one of the best candidates for the job. I am here to help. 5. What does WG need most and what will you do as a council member? WG needs activity and discipline. We need to rebuild our comradarie and our sence of unity. We need to begin building relationships and recruit. We need to find new ways to recruit, and improve on our current methods. Activity and Discipline We need to crack down on inactivity. Randy has done a fantastic job with this, but we will need to continue his work. For people that constantly inactive, there must be punishments. I will be lenient and open to people's reasons, but I plan to develop another system for activity. Rolling counts does not work. However, my main plan for activity isnt just punishing people. I plan on making incentives for activity. We have the same people that attend raids again and again faithfully, and don't receive much in return. I plan to give these people recognition for their hard work. Friendship and Unity WG has claimed to have the best and most friendliest community in the entire clan world. Most of us will agree that this is a lie. We need to bond together. Everyday in the IRC, we'll have people who will rarely talk. Some are AFK, but some just dont feel like talking. Some are shy, or some are just tired. We need to make WG a fun place to be, instead of being being a chore or a job. Teamspeak is under utilized. Of course, its down half the time these days, but it should be a place where EVERYONE can talk and enjoy themselves. Over the internet, words can mean several things. But speech itself can mean so much more. Recruitment and Warring Like I said earlier, we need to expand our horizons. We need to find new ways to recruit people. Currently, a very low number of our intros are graduating. We need to make WG the friendly place it claims to be. As for our warring future, we need to take a step back. Before, WG was one of the strongest in matched opts in our level tier. We could beat everyone around our level, even some of those with a higher combat average. We need to make sure that we dont compromise our quality. We need to resume our matched opts fights, perhaps even go back to CWA for a short while. PKRIs are the only way WG will ever become great, but it has been our staple food for the past couple of weeks. Our warring quality has been suffered; we no longer rely on tanks, hybrids, and tactics to win. In PKRIs, all that really matters at the end of the day is whether you were there, if you were hybriding or not, and how we performed. At the end of another PKRI, you're just another number. PKRIs are good. Im not trying to say that they're bad. They're a great change. However, we need to take a step back to recover. 6. What puts you above other people applying for council? I have been in WG or a clan leadership position longer than most of the candidates have been. I have watched many council work and helped them behind the scenes. I have contributed many ideas to projects council have been working on. I have see how they work. I am more experienced and I have seen more of the council life than many of the other people applying for this position. 7. What is your greatest weakness in terms of being a leader?
My greatest weakness was my passiveness. I believe that I wasn't the greatest raid leader that I could have been. Sure, I lead pretty well and contributed Ideas, but I felt that I didn't help much other then that. Now that I look back on it, I can see that I have failed in many ways. This was one of the questions in the application for Raid leader back when I applied. I had plenty of ideas. For just my Raid Leader application, I wrote nearly 2,500 words. It was 5 pages long in Microsoft Word. I doubt DZ even read all of it . However, one of my greatest mistakes was being passive as opposed to being active. I've blamed myself often for our slumps for not being proactive or strong enough. I felt like a failure and felt like resigning countless of times. But after the recent slump, I realized that I had to stay strong until I set things right. Ever since then, I've held these words close by to help guide me, and I have been more active in WG's direction than I ever have. 8. Is there anything else you would like to say? This council election is one of the most important in our recent history. We are confronted with one of our worst problems in 2 years. Choose who you believe will make the neccessary changes. Dont vote just because you like the person; Vote on what you know will be done. Have faith and stay strong. 9. Do you agree to provide the council with two weeks notice if you wish to resign?
