 IRC Nickname: Mickey Group: Emeritus Posts: 5305 Member No.: 48 Joined: December 30, 2007 Total Events Attended: 282 | Application for Council 1. Have you read and understood the warning? Yes. I fully understand what is in store from me. I have been warned and I thank you for the warning. 2. What makes you think you can last a long term in the council? Well, I have led a clan which did succeed in making it as a minor success. I myself was responsible for 95% of the success due to my high activity and massive dedication. I didn't give up. I was forced away as a leader after my trusted High Council hacked my forums account and spread racist stuff about my forums. I am also dedicated. I stuck by my old clan for over 6 months, through the sleeplessness, the disopointment, and even the mental torture. 3. Is there anything coming up in the next 6 months that could make you highly inactive? No. 4. Why are you applying for council? I want to make a difference to WG. I have always respected the council, Abs and Lordy. I have always dreamed of at least being near what they are and being near accomplishing what they have done. Council is more than just a rank, it's a passion. You must have a passion to want council, to improve WG. I have that passion and I have had it for a long time. Ever since I joined DG in 2005. Thus, why I am applying. 5. What does WG need most and what will you do as a council member?WG needs a strong community base. Full of active, loyal and friendly members. Wg you may say is big and wouldn't have a problem with the activity. We do, having a lot of members means nothing. What it comes down to is the member base. If the loyal and active member base isn't strong, then having tons of members doesn't help. If I get council, I will try my best to improve this. This aspect and others. The aspect I would like to improve most however, is the applications. These days there is no more good intros or good apps. It's all just a few words here a few words there and wham, accepted. This shouldn't be like this. Wg was supposed to be one of the most prestigious clans in the whole of Runescape. If I got council, I would improve it back to it's former glory and that might lead to less people leaving. If you work hard for something, your not likely to give it up so easy. 6. What puts you above other people applying for council? I have, as I said, led my own clan in the past. We managed to become a minor success. The clan was active and slowly growing into a major league clan. I was responsible for a lot of the clan’s success. Due to my activity, good ideas, logic and fairness. I also have alot of experiance in leading. Not just from leading a clan, I was in the Army Cadets at the age of 13. I was a corpral there and my key duties were to keep people in line, help out with the main comanding of it. 7. What is your greatest weakness in terms of being a leader? I was sometimes sort of bias towards some people. For example people that I knew IRL and I was good friends with, I sometimes gave them promotions without the effort. I have in fact grown out of this and I am now firm and fair. 8. Which place are you mainly applying for? ( 9. Is there anything else you would like to say? Not really. But I would like to say, good luck to all those who apply. 10. Do you agree to provide the council with two weeks notice if you wish to resign? Yes. --------------------    | ||||||

Been in this clan for a very long time and even when things start to go bad i stayed and helped out the clan by being a member of it. 3. Is there anything coming up in the next 6 months that could make you highly inactive? Well I have summer courses (like only 2) So have some inactivity during the first month of the summer. After that i have alot of free time to work and help out the clan 4. Why are you applying for council? Being in the council means helping the whole of WG and the leaders. Seeing as the leaders are in need of help made me want to help out at a large scale together with the leaders. 5. What does WG need most and what will you do as a council member? Been in the clan for more than 3 years. As a long time serving member of the clan i know what the clan needs the most. What the members of WG need. 6.

Same honestly. I really think I could do a nice job here and I had myself convinced of it last night. However, I won't be throwing my name in the hat. I realize that it is best for me as an individual to move on and try to focus more on school work instead of adding something else to take up my time. Plus I like advising from the sidelines anyways. -------------------- | ||||||

 IRC Nickname: Jenny Group: Emeritus Posts: 1967 Member No.: 19 Joined: December 29, 2007 Total Events Attended: 56 | These are all fine applicants.. I honestly think Sam deserves a shot, if he is willing. I was council twice for about 7 or 8 months each time. It is incredibly stressful and very rewarding. It does seem though as soon as you are there, some people want to do nothing but take you down. Whoever ends up on council just remember, take it one day at a time and don't forget to leave some time for yourself, if you don't you will burn out. --------------------   | ||||||

 IRC Nickname: Zeth Group: Emeritus Posts: 1839 Member No.: 17 Joined: December 29, 2007 Total Events Attended: 63 | Application for Council 1. Have you read and understood the warning? Of course. 2. What makes you think you can last a long term in the council? WG is the one and only clan. I would never leave WG for anything. The strongest reason for me to continue play runescape, is WG. Friendship is stronger than any game. With all my friends in WG I couldn't be able to leave for any other game. I will never, as far as I can think of, stop using computers, which means I'll never leave WG. I can probably handle the stress and all since I've got lots of spare time to work on. I only lasted a few weeks as application manager, but that was due to me leaving Runescape. But after a while of being gone from runescape, I realised that there was something missing and so I returned. It was NOT the stress or anything that made me leave the possition as application manager, it was just that I saw myself as a no good application manager since I wasn't able to keep up with all the changes in the clan world and the game itself. 3. Is there anything coming up in the next 6 months that could make you highly inactive? I of course have school every day (GMT +1) but the rest of my time I'll be mostly active as a part of WG. I will though be inactive for about 5 days around the 15th to 19th of May and also the 25th that same month. This is due to my music in school. I will though be on mostly 24/7 for the 4 months after the 25th of May. 4. Why are you applying for council? Because I've been around for a pretty long time and I've been following the changes in WG. I know what is needed to be done. I've also been the leader and creator of a Battlefield 2 clan. You may think that being the leader of a Battlefield 2 clan has got nothing to do with being the council of a Runescape clan but it is. It was actually very much alike. We had events and such just as here against other clans. And applications were needed for the people who were joining. The clan got so far that we got sponsored with a Battlefield 2 server which usually cost around 50$ a month. That helped me learn almost everything about invision forums. I know most things needed for both the Admin CP and Mod CP. I also know how to arrange events with other clan leaders and most of that and I think that it will be really helpfull. I apply so that I can be able to help WG. 5. What does WG need most and what will you do as a council member? WG needs new blood. And by new blood I do not only mean new members. I mean more and new events. I feel that the community and skill events have started to become less. Many WG members are skillers or community people who are in it for the fun. But they are sometimes forced to only go to fighting events without being able to come to any skills or community events. This is how the event stats are right now.  As you can see here, the fighting events are WAY more than the skilling events. And the skilling events are almost as many as the community events. Yes, the fighting events should be a bit more than the skilling events, I can agree with you on that point. BUT. It shouldn't be this much of a difference. I would like the difference between skilling and fighting events to be around 10% up to 25% but not 45%! And yes, the community events are fun and such but for god sake, not as important as skilling or fighting events! I would though not want the community events to become less, I would like the skilling events to become more. As a Community/skills council I will try to make the skilling events become more but not as many or more than the fighting events. 6. What puts you above other people applying for council? I'm active and if I'm needed at some event or with mostly anything I'll be there. I have a pretty high knowledge about the invision forums which actually isn't just some small thing. The forums are really important for the clan. The forums makes the clan come together and be a clan. 7. What is your greatest weakness in terms of being a leader? One of my weaknesses is that my main language isn't english. I'm - as most of you probably know - from Sweden. And swedes intend to have a rather weird but still understandable accent when they talk engish. I will as council start using my mic at important events or if it's needed. Hope you'll be able to understand me though  It's not that bad, I'm just a bit ashamed  8. Which place are you mainly applying for? ( Community/Skills Type. 9. Is there anything else you would like to say? Thanks for making this the best Runescape clan. 10. Do you agree to provide the council with two weeks notice if you wish to resign? Yes. ~Zeth --------------------  Joined WG - 24th of June 2007 - Never left. | ||||||

I just looked at the 90 last event recaps and wrote down how many of each events there were. I know that some events don't get recaps but that's mostly the non-important events. -------------------- Joined WG - 24th of June 2007 - Never left. | ||||||

| IRC Nickname: Kiwi011 Group: Emeritus Posts: 3052 Member No.: 40 Joined: December 30, 2007 Total Events Attended: 21 | Application for Council 1. Have you read and understood the warning? Yes I have. 2. What makes you think you can last a long term in the council? I think I can last a long time in council because really, I have been in WG a year now since I rejoined and have stayed quite active even when my RS account was locked. I have the ability to deal with lots of stress even if it looks like I can’t handle it sometimes, because my main method of getting rid of stress is to vent and slowly relax and get back into it. I also have no intention on leaving WG in the future and would do anything to help WG out and offer my ability. I have a nice easy summer also which will give me time to get to understand the position I receive fully and whole heartedly. I am also 17 years old and going to be a senior next year in high school. I believe myself to be mature when the situation needs it and also can differentiate when there is time to just have fun and mess around. I have been inactive in the past in RS but recently I have been active and soon will be much more involved than I have been these past two weeks. I also think I would last through a long time period because I love to meet the new members and communicate with them on the mIRC and help them get to understand the WG family better. 3. Is there anything coming up in the next 6 months that could make you highly inactive? No, there is no foreseeable event that should make me inactive in anyway. 4. Why are you applying for council? Why am I applying for council? Well first and foremost, I am applying to help WG out and return what you guys, what WG has given me. I want to return that favor and do all that I can to help you out. Second, I have always been one of those members who sees things wrong and complains to council, well I want to see who I have been complaining too and experience the trouble I have caused myself. With this, I also want to be able to tell you what we are going to do about this problem and why it’s taking so long and what we are also doing to help WG out and make the community and the clan better as a whole. Lastly, I am applying for council so, no matter what happens, I can go “I tried” and look at myself in the mirror and know that I just wasn’t WG’s choice and the guy taking my spot or the sot I am taking was the clans decision and that’s all that really matters and who gets the spot deserves it fully. 5. What does WG need most and what will you do as a council member? Well, personally I think WG needs to focus on inactive member and why they can not fill out a simple yes I can come, no I can’t come and post it on the forums on war preps. It’s a simple matter but needs addressing and I think 1colonel1 hit it when he brought up the problem himself HERE To grow in the fighting area of the clan we need activity. I no many of you want to be at least top 20 in the RAW. Well, the only way to do that is to have all of you participate in wars, whether they be practice, prep, or full out and lets also not forget Binding and hybrids lol.. We also need to work on coordinating some allied events with our allies. Much more than we have, because I seriously doubt very few if any members, including myself know more than 10 people well in each of our allies clans. This is a huge problem. I would work to try to help coordinate some events, maybe some Trawler, Castle Wars events, some fun Bronze Wars or Snowball fights for Christmas in July at CWA. We need to incorporate our allies into our clan and become friends with them and actually know who they are and make friendships. WG events, well tonight I noticed a certain member complaining about not having any Aussie timed God Wars events. Well, that’s probably true for many other events and many other Aussies and GMTers who feel left out and may leave because of this. We need new time zone based leaders also who can help make events and keep the whole clan active. 6. What puts you above other people applying for council? Well, heres a couple points I have over the other members- *I was a Council member for my old clan Tunescape, it was mostly a moderator position but my job was mainly to keep the guest forums clean. First week I start, a rival clan started putting gay porno up which I had to delete and ip ban. I did this at least five times a day and it went on for over 2 weeks. I was pretty much scared in that position by what I saw as most of you would also. But I kept at it and eventually whoever/whatever was doing it stopped and it blew over. *Well, I am 17 and going to be a senior next year and I believe I am more mature than some and can see all sides of an argument before taking a side. *I have not been active before two weeks ago, but since I got my account p2p and unlocked I have been active and have been to most of the practice sessions and wars we have had and no I can be one of the more active council members. Before my account was locked at the end of the summer, I was also one of the top10 most active on the events and stayed up there and am sure I can do that now as well. *Well, I can admit I am wrong and need help sometimes and I am completely willing to listen to anyone vent or suggest something to me and bring it up with the council or help that member myself. I am not stuck up and full of myself and know my limits and am also willing to ask for help not just give it. 7. What is your greatest weakness in terms of being a leader? My greatest weakness, well that would have to be Procrastination. I have a tendency to hold things off till the last second and get lost in it. However, whenever I have been confronted with a problem because of this, I have still gotten through it and worked on. In RS, my greatest weakness would have to be my hate of quests……they just disappoint me and I hate doing them. 8. Which place are you mainly applying for? ( I am pretty sure the fighting type was taken off, and even if it wasn’t I would have to go with Community and Skills. I am pretty sure my amazing hybrid skills are good enough for Fighting type though…..But seriously not really. 9. Is there anything else you would like to say? Well, really the only thing I have to say is that I hope everyone who votes reads peoples applications and votes on ideals and so on, not just for their friends… 10. Do you agree to provide the council with two weeks notice if you wish to resign? Yes I agree, I do not have a problem with this and think it seems quite simple to do. Yes I realize my rank is emeritus, but I have asked multiple people multiple time to make my rank higher/elite and none have yet done so and I have been active for over two weeks so I think I am eligible to make this since I shouldn't be an emeritus right now anyway. -------------------- | ||||||
