 IRC Nickname: Squelchyfish Group: Emeritus Posts: 625 Member No.: 38 Joined: December 30, 2007 Total Events Attended: 71 | ¤ Application for Event Leader ¤ Name: SquelchyFish / Tom Join date: October 14 2007 Time zone: GMT What do you have to offer as an Event Leader? I like events. There seems to be a divide between the pvpers and the eventy guys. I want to bridge that gap. It's a given that we wont get Stokenut down to the old trawler to catch a few fish, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't be able to convert his many minions. We play runescape for fun, pking is fun, events are fun. Events can and do produce money to buy gear to pk. Perhaps we need structured pvp times, or atleast we need to set aside time windows for when pvp events are to be hosted. That way community events can be built up around them. There is a war two days ahead? Castlewars will be a nice little thing to pop infront of that. Perhaps we have a run in later in the week? We could go do a bit of barrows or green dragons to make sure people are not bringing tyras helms into battle. I talk a lot, as you probably all know. At the moment I am generally asking questions about runescape, as I am effectivley new to the game after being away for so long. When I finish runescape for dummies 101 I will be able to spend my time asking members what they feel like doing, and what times they are available to do those things. This will combat the poor attendance, at the moment when (if ever) there is an event, most people dont turn up, not because they dont want to, but because they physically cant. Once we overcome that hurdle we can work towards other goals. I also offer to you a no-shit agreement. I say it how it is, hypothetically if I were to skip an event, I would make sure everyone knew what I did and that I was in the wrong. I wouldn't turn off my chat and start shovelling all sorts of bs to cover my back. Additionally this means I wont put up with people who sign up, then don't turn up. Activity. I don't like runescape. I love WG. I find it hard to play, but I mass hours before every event as that is why I play. I am upset that there are so few events, I am a group player. I don't like being alone. But when 10 of us are going down to barrows I enjoy it. There needs to be more events, and event leaders need to actually turn up, especially if they hosted that event in the first place. A wider variety of events, more of the time. I used to have a small clan many, many, many moons ago. It only had a handful of people in. When people didn't turn up to my events, I used to do them alone, to guilt trip the skippers. If I were an event Leader in WG, I would go to created events with 0 sign ups, so that if one person goes out of their way to attend, they will have someone to do it with. Many events I have seen only two or three people sign up get cancelled. This is unfair on those who geared up and were looking forward to that event. The second I submit an event, or sign up to one, I will be there no matter what. Even if I am alone. I offer you this dedication. Above all though, I offer you my activity. The events forum is a ghost town. It is off-putting, it needs to be full of interesting and unique events. Not one “lets go wildy lol and hit a dragin lal” event every month. I cant make fancy banners and sign ups for every event and I cant make people come, but I can change the way WG views non p2p events, I can make them appeal to possible new recruits and I can make them interesting and enjoyable for our member-base. 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). When I returned I made two classic events I had tried before, the classic trawler and a agility pyramid race. The first is an example of a bread and butter event. Stuff like trawler, castlewars and barrows are minigames already created for us. That is not very creative on the behalf of the hosts. They are fun, don't get me wrong. But we also need an equal amount of creative events, for example that pyramid race. It turns a rubbish agility grind into a competition, it takes the mind away from the grind, and makes it enjoyable. We need more of them. Other events I have in mind are things such as a dungeon run, which I am working on building, snowball fights, wg only drop parties in falador and marathons across the runescape map. Things like firefests etc are nice, but they should only be hosted once every month or two, otherwise people will not attend. More emphasis needs to be given to events that aid the Pvp aspect of the clan. Events revolving around Agility are great non combat activities that will help us in war. Contact hide and seek in the wilderness aids tank practice and more people should be encouraged to join skill and combat skill of the week, infact, the whole of WG should be automatically entered into such things to premote training. People also view events as hour long things, I would like to dispell this myth and create week or weekend events. Perhaps a combat skill of the week event with specific rules, such as on day 1 you may only train at pest control, day two at AZ's and day three at bandits etc. This breaks up the monotony of training and is “fun”, if that word can even be related to runescape. Events need to be long thourght out and interesting. We dont need events that are "thourght of in 5 minutes". What puts you above other people applying for Event Leader? Dedication, and that is it. I would rather have no more power than any of the other guardians, I think some people apply for these jobs as they love being “above” everyone else. This is not the case here, I say this so often it must be pissing people off, but when I left WG was amazing. We were competing with the top in war and had tens of events a week. We had many active members and the leadership was great. Now it feels as if we are in a refugee camp, our leader is away and we have ghosts filling the throne. I don't know how to explain it without sounding offensive when I mean not to be. So imagine lord of the rings, if you have seen it. WG was theodyn, wg now is the old crusty theodyn. And we need some gandalfs up in here to restore what once was. I am not claiming that I am that gandalf, but I want to play my small part to help. Like an ant carrying a leaf to feed the masses, alone I am nothing but with the help of others the ants thrive. WG is a joke at the moment. Literally, it is not bad, but people love the drama and nothing is taken seriously (Seriously as in, we want to be one of the best clans. Not seriously as in spend your whole life on a game and don't have fun). I think others don't have the drive. I also think others have forgotten how WG used to be. Is there anything coming up in the next 6 months that could make you inactive? I have exams in September. That is all. Even so, I wish to peruse a career that is not related to my subjects, so as sad as this sounds, I can put WG first. Is there anything else you would like to say? If this were an interview, I would chat some bs – as you are always meant to say something here. But honestly, I have said all I have to say. That is what I can offer you, and I speak no lies and I hide behind no pretence. I am a noob to runescape once more. I will give you that. But I am a veteran of WG, and I want us to go far. One problem with leadership is a tendency to start strong, then fade out into inactivity. Will you promise to uphold your duties continuously throughout your service to the best of your ability? I have seen what happens to people, and I find it frustrating, when so many of us have the “flame” and wish to get out there in our little virtual world and do stuff, when other peoples flames have burnt out. It is a depressing feeling, and I do not want anyone to experience it. The second I am showing any signs of activity I would resign a position of authority. If I were to get this position, I am in effect signing a contract offering my dedication and concentration for the duration of my role. The second that begins to fade, I no longer deserve to be anything other than a standard guardian. Finally. Wg is failing. I have spoken to a lot of people who agree it is just a pot full of flamebait, trolling, lost wars and poor events. Hopefully this would give me a platform to do my bit to make wg better, for the good of us all. Thanks for taking the time to read my essay :< Its depressing me that it is longer than my history coursework that would perhaps determine my future :/ O well :Z --------------------   "Take lobsters because I don't want us to die" -HisLordship on WG pvp PKing, 26 April 2010. | ||||

Time zone:GMT, Greenwhich Mean Time. What do you have to offer as an Event Leader? I'd be offering somebody new and fresh, with plenty of events per week, some small, some big and i would of course be making at the minimum 2 a week, these events would range from fun events, recruitment, fight pits, castle wars, godwars, barrows and so on. I offer someone who is active and would be able to host events for GMT, EST, CST, MST, PST, possibly some Aussie ones too. Of course I would be able to watch over the forums and IRC, as i'm on IRC whever i'm online. 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). This is the first of my few ideas: Snowball Fights!!!! Description: Each person that attends brings basic F2P Mage Gear, that being Wizard robe top, Wizard hat, anti-fire shield, Air Staff, 2k mind runes, a blue skirt/monk robe bottom, along with an invent of lobster/swordfish/pizza along with 26k for F2P or 76k for P2P. Go up in the wilderness to a NON PVP world, well for this explanation we'll say this one:  Once we get here we'd log out and switch to a PVP or BH World and let the free for all fun begin, yes i said free for all, if you die you can come back and watch or you can leave either is fine, but the winner gets the loot obviously. I think this could be a great public or in clan event, aswell as alot of fun. This Idea could also be used for an Allied clan Event, Team A and a Team B, 2 seperate CC's, may the best team win, mix it up and have some fun, as well as loot for the people who live.  What puts you above other people applying for Event Leader? Well, I have avilability with time zones, I have the ambition to make fun and regular events and I'd enjoy the forum work. (sounds silly i know) Hopefully i'll be able to show you just how dedicated I can be. Is there anything coming up in the next 6 months that could make you inactive? Not a thing, I plan to be here for a very long time indeed. Nothing that would hold me back from my duties in WG if successful. Is there anything else you would like to say? I know i'm still kind of the "new" guy around here, but I will stress this point more, I will be as committed as i can be and I will work for the rank If I'm successful. I hope people won't dismiss me for my time being so short within the clan, maybe a new fresh mind is what's needed, i'd enjoy the forum work too. 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? Oh I will definatly, I don't plan to fade into inactivity and forget my duties, if successful, I will always try my best, whatever the situation.

Why shouldn't they be given the opportunity to apply like everyone else? It show's that they are committed, keen and dedicated. Yes, they may not get selected, but it lets the staff know who to watch for the future. -------------------- | ||||
