      IRC Nickname: Jouke[WG] Group: Ex-Member Posts: 153 Member No.: 2326 Joined: July 24, 2010 Total Events Attended: 16    | I think highlighting all WG members in IRC (and spamming #wg_lobby with /notice +#wg_lobby) will greatly improve the pull to events. I personally don't always hang out in His Lordship cc, nor do I pay attention to clan chats much, but I am always in IRC when I'm online on RS. In the past 2 weeks it has happened 4 times that I wanted to attend an event but forgot about it (while being online). Sure, you can blame this on my own laziness, but I'm sure this happens to other people too. A highlight 30, 15 and 10 minutes before the start of an event would be great, and maybe once every 5 minutes with a "/notice +#wg_lobby" (only voice and up can read it). Don't highlight too often though, really annoying  --------------------  |

 IRC Nickname: Dnovelta Group: Emeritus Posts: 2750 Member No.: 130 Joined: January 20, 2008 Total Events Attended: 137 | Good suggestion. I know from my time in AF, when an event was called there would be mass highlights so people knew that it was time to mass. So, it does work. --------------------   |

 IRC Nickname: Lefty Group: Emeritus Posts: 3340 Member No.: 1055 Joined: June 30, 2008 Total Events Attended: 211 | /names #WG_Lobby /names #WG Those are commands for mIRC that spit out all of the names that are in that channel. It is put in your status window. Just copy it, and paste it, then say it, giving you a mass highlight. --------------------      |

 IRC Nickname: rachellove Group: Council Posts: 6955 Member No.: 173 Joined: January 31, 2008 Total Events Attended: 305 | I find quick pm to people works really well and they don't get hostile or mad. Actually they are likely to come to the event. --------------------  Thank you Garrett and Dallar. “The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help them or concluded that you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership.” ~~Colin Powell ~~  |
