      IRC Nickname: Dnovelta Group: Emeritus Posts: 2750 Member No.: 130 Joined: January 20, 2008 Total Events Attended: 137    | I posted this same suggest on the AF boards. It's pretty simple really. Each week Staff/Council would make a post that would list all new Intros, Trial Guardians and newly graduated members. This helps everyone get to know who has become a full member, and who is interested. Lets face it...we don't all check the Introductions forum as often as we should, and this would help us still get to know the people wanting to join WG. As each application/introduction/graduation is accepted the name could be added to a simple word document and at the end of the week, copy and past the list on the forums and make a post. Simple. P.S. This IS WG. --------------------   | ||

It is hard to keep track of all the new intro's etc at the rate we are gaining. -------------------- "Do not believe everything that is written on the internet; for it may just be a bag of lies" - George Washington 1873 - On the long winding road to 99 slayer. 98 to 99 Slay without killing a thing. 22/28 effigy's PM me if you can assist Construction Effigy's | ||

 IRC Nickname: Big_Al_002 Group: Guardian Posts: 1102 Member No.: 1777 Joined: March 21, 2009 Total Events Attended: 25 | why do i feel like nobody supports my ideas? and then it gets posted a month later? =) trying not to get on your bad side, but ive already talked this over with Lordy. he said its not necessary, because they would graduate themselves if they wanted to be in the clan. now, im neutral because i would do either but if Lordy says it, it goes i offered myself to track down every single trial and intro to list their stage of application so we can help them if they're slowing, this way we can find out what happens to all our intro's. we would know how and why our intro's dont graduate, thus giving a better view of how recruitment is really going. -------------------- Guardian from 4/20/09 to 8/4/09, then quit.

As well all know, it can be very hard to feel like you fit in when first in a clan, and a weekly 'summary of new applicants' in either IA or gen matters would help to give people a quick overview of new members to help give those people a quick reference list of who's new  And David, I thought this is AF? stop confusing me ffs  --------------------  Old awards wat Most Mature & Most Honourable Most Dedicated|IRC Freak|Best Emeritus Placeholder lolz | ||

 IRC Nickname: ThisIsUnique Group: Ex-Member Posts: 1664 Member No.: 1417 Joined: October 30, 2008 Total Events Attended: 141 | This might be a good idea, but we don't want to be running over the intro's because they also need to prove they want to join us. They also need to do things , they need to take iniative(hows this spelled?) to get to know ppl. --------------------   | ||

| IRC Nickname: Dnovelta Group: Emeritus Posts: 2750 Member No.: 130 Joined: January 20, 2008 Total Events Attended: 137 | All this would be is just a simple list like the example below: New intros: - Bob - Billy - Jake New Trials: - Alex - Mike - Abraham New Guardians: - Stewie - Molly - Parker Not an elaborate schedule to find out who is where, and what stage they're at in the system. It's basically a consolidated "Hello" thread each week. Put it this way: Are you going to try to join a clan that doesn't even talk to you, besides the few people that check the introductions forum regularly? This would just get their names to a part of the forum that everyone reads that way people know who they are. From there we can help drag them in, but they still have to prove they want to be here - because if this works they'll get enough publicity that loads of us will be watching them, and we'll also have multiple views of each person so as to decide whether or not they really fit WG. -------------------- | ||

| IRC Nickname: [JC] Group: Emeritus Posts: 3320 Member No.: 23 Joined: December 30, 2007 Total Events Attended: 147 | I'm not 100% sure about having the 'new intros' part myself, there is a shit load of intro'ers each week, and often they do not take the time or effort to join IRC. Personally I think this should be to help new trials fit in (and congratulate new graduants) rather than be to help intro's who probably won't ever join WG, and frankly, I couldn't see many people adding intro's without talking to them first  -------------------- Old awards wat Most Mature & Most Honourable Most Dedicated|IRC Freak|Best Emeritus Placeholder lolz | ||

| IRC Nickname: Dnovelta Group: Emeritus Posts: 2750 Member No.: 130 Joined: January 20, 2008 Total Events Attended: 137 | Yeah, I can see that as well. This is just a rough idea, so knocking off the intro part is fine by me. -------------------- | ||

 IRC Nickname: rachellove Group: Council Posts: 6955 Member No.: 173 Joined: January 31, 2008 Total Events Attended: 305 | Just an added suggestion to this idea. The list is great, maybe just a quick "hi, how you doing?" to anyone you see in irc you don't know. --------------------  Thank you Garrett and Dallar. “The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them.
