      IRC Nickname: Tnuac Group: Emeritus Posts: 1806 Member No.: 51 Joined: December 30, 2007 Total Events Attended: 58    | I'm trying to figure something out. Whenever you say anything in #wg people (or robbiebot) go 'ffs, use #wg_lobby'. Made me think - why do we even have #wg? Then I thought 'oh yeah, it can be used as a channel to discuss private matters' But that made be think - why can't #wg be used instead of #wgwilderness ? Why do we even have #wgwilderness when we can use #wg? I don't see the point in having an idle channel. There's #idle for that =z My suggestion: scrap #wgwilderness, use #wg instead. Any anti-suggestions? -------------------- ~Aetas: carpe diem quam minimum credula postero~ "Seize the day and place no trust in tomorrow"  | ||

And if we had a raid in #wg, we wouldn't know accurately how many people were at the raid. --------------------    Dragon boots:29 Whips:2 | ||

| IRC Nickname: Tnuac Group: Emeritus Posts: 1806 Member No.: 51 Joined: December 30, 2007 Total Events Attended: 58 | Well if #wg is only used for highlighting people at the raid, you might as well make people join #wgwilderness, then highlight them there. You can get a count of how many people are on the raid in the clan chat, or teamspeak. If you want to be really strict about it, you can kick people out of #wg who aren't at the raid. So it still seems that at the moment, #wg serves no purpose and #wgwilderness can be merged into it. Its confusing enough for existing members to have to ignore #wg and use the lobby instead, let alone new members. And then there's people coming out of retirement and all that, you'll constantly have to remind them too. EDIT: Another things. It seems that IRC activity has really gone down since the move to the lobby. When people are restricted from speaking in one room some, wrongly i know, don't bother using it at all. If we reduce the number of chatrooms, it should make it clearer and less restrictive. -------------------- ~Aetas: carpe diem quam minimum credula postero~ "Seize the day and place no trust in tomorrow" | ||

This. And before you say why not just say it in #wgwilderness , I will say so that while on a raid when we are trying to discuss something relevant to the raid we are no distracted by some that could have been ............. you know, this idea sounded a lot beter in my head. Lets just ditch #wgwilderness. I now support tnuac's idea except we drop #wgwilderness. -------------------- Dragon boots:29 Whips:2 | ||

 IRC Nickname: Snowzak Group: Emeritus Posts: 1193 Member No.: 5 Joined: December 26, 2007 Total Events Attended: 67 | Should the title of this thread be "Get rid of #wg" or "Get rid of #wgwilderness"? In any case, Mike has a point. One public chan and one private is all that matters. At least if #wgwilderness & #wg merge, then the full focus of the IRC will be on the raid. --------------------  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 | ||

Undeniably. But, it still supports the idea that you might as well merge #wgwilderness and #wg. The channel you use for raiding can be used for private discussions when there isn't a raid on. If you want to have a private clan discussion during a raid, you won't have much input ;D You might as well keep everything private (raid discussion, politistructurinstitutional reform ammendments, inter-individual incompatibility incidents, polypolitical ponderings and plunderances, accidental abrupt alliance asymmetry, regular refraining from residential ruptures, community cohesion compability, clan matters, gene's sex talk) in one channel. The less people have to worry about, the more commited they'll be.

 IRC Nickname: Lefty Group: Emeritus Posts: 3340 Member No.: 1055 Joined: June 30, 2008 Total Events Attended: 211 | The only time we use #wgwilderness is during a raid. It isn't that big of a hassle to join the extra channel when we raid. --------------------      | ||
#wg - pointless?
