      IRC Nickname: Rage|Mike Group: Clan Friend Posts: 1948 Member No.: 1238 Joined: July 29, 2008 Total Events Attended: 132    | Reminder: Please post! Because of our low turnouts to wars/raids, and after being in the TS meeting earlier, I decided to make this post. What are your reasons for not coming to raids/wars Do you dislike PvP, do you have timezone problems, do you have problems with someone who goes (Dont name him/her on this post) etc... Reminder: Please post! Benefits of going to Raids/wars:
Reminder: Please post! Wars/Raids aren't mandatory, but come on, just because a thing is optional doesn't mean it gets totally neglected and forgotten. It's understandable that people with busy schedules/timezone problems can't attend, but when someone is online and doesn't bother to come at all, it- how can I say this properly...Offends people who are in the raid and especially Raid leaders and council, who organize these wars/raids and work real hard at leading these events. Wilderness is one of the most important aspects in any community clan. Reminder: Please post! If you dislike PvP, come on, just try attending some to hang out with friends, you may start to like it over the times. Just attend ONE raid a week, Just ONE. You have the whole week to do whatever you'd like to do (Skill, boss hunt, minigames etc..), Just dedicate this 1-2 hours to your clan, it shouldn't be hard. Reminder: Please post!

But I USUALLY come to all of the Wars that I'm able to attend. Though, last night's Raid I didn't attend because I didn't feel like it.  I'll attend more of them in the future, though. --------------------  | ||||||||||||

^^^^ If I want to skill, ill make sure i'm not skilling when theres a raid or war. You can skill whenever you want but you can't have a raid or war whenever you want. PKing is what keeps me going in runescape and it's what i've been doing for the last two years or so... So bacicilly I want mandatory events and wars, but I know that's never going to happen. --------------------   | ||||||||||||

By working harder to make it to wilderness events, you help give WG a greater reputation, and in doing so, more members join, meaning more people for you to chat with, and get to know. Small sacrifices (Tbh... it's a pleasure going to wilderness events... for the buzz you get... but call them sacrifices if you will) are not too much to ask of you IMO, If you want the clan to succeed, as well as having a great community, it must have a great warring aspect. ~Mugger84 -------------------- Mugger84 Member Of WG Since 4th April 2008.

Try attending one or two raids/wars a week, just ONCE or TWICE, What you're going to lose? 100k xp? Just remember you have the WHOLE WEEK to do ALL the skilling you want, just give WG some time as well. Attending these helps us out, you'll get to know even more people if you go. You May or may not even like PvP as the times goes by, but you WILL SURELY help WG's reputation and recruitment if you attend. Ask yourself, is one-two hours a week for WG too hard to meet? Or is it easy? Think of it as this: you and your friends are going out to watch a movie, all of your friends want to watch Rightous kill while you want to watch Tropic thunder, you decide to leave them and go watch Tropic Thunder. Your friends may talk behind your back (Human nature) and you will not improve your relationship with them at all, in fact if it gets repeated they might slowly start to dislike you (Of course, not just in movies  ). Your friends will be talking about the movie they watched all the time and you won't have a chance to participate in their conversations because you didn't watch the movie.Of course, you most likely wouldn't want all that to happen JUST because of a movie, same case here. You'll miss out on all the talks about how we won, how Dalejamesw tanked, etc.. So try to dedicate an hour or two of your time on RS per week to WG, you'll enjoy it eventually.  -------------------- MSN: [email protected] IRC: Rage|Mike at SwiftIRC and SeersIRC Drop me a comment, click to view my RSC profile!

 IRC Nickname: Cory|Melchior Group: Ex-Member Posts: 240 Member No.: 527 Joined: April 25, 2008 Total Events Attended: 5 | Reasons I don't/can't go to wars: 1. They are on weekends, when I work. 2. I don't find them Fun 3. We can just as easily recruit skillers as well 4. I didn't like pk'ing back when you could make profit, don't like it now especially that you can't. -------------------- Kingdom of Edgeville  | ||||||||||||

 IRC Nickname: Woolachee Group: Clan Friend Posts: 165 Member No.: 688 Joined: May 24, 2008 Total Events Attended: 22 | Reasons why my event attendance sucks: I have about 5 hours of free time on Saturday and Sunday, and the rest of the time i have something to do.. Event prep + event would take up 2-3 of those hours.. so i rly dont have much time to make enough money to keep up my efforts and treasury, or enough time to skill and enjoy the game and relax. and also there is no rewards for pvp yet, when it comes out ill prolly be alot more active, and also once soccer is over i will be active again, gimme a month or so. so soz. --------------------   | ||||||||||||

 IRC Nickname: Lefty Group: Emeritus Posts: 3340 Member No.: 1055 Joined: June 30, 2008 Total Events Attended: 211 | Well saying that as of lately my total time per week on RuneScape is around 2 to 3 hours a week, it is hard for me to "give an hour" to WG. But I do it anyways. I usually come on for wars and then log off afterwards. I work things that my family wants me to do for them around the 1 or 2 hours that I might need to get ready and to participate in a war. Basically... if I could make all of them, I would. I just can't with my hectic schedule that is mentioned in my inactivity topic. --------------------      | ||||||||||||

| IRC Nickname: Group: Elite Guardian Posts: 7306 Member No.: 47 Joined: December 30, 2007 Total Events Attended: 343 | I honestly hate raids. We used to get crashed to hell or drag lure (I was the lurer) and after doing that 20 times it's boring. Other times, it was AC which is really really boring since if someone did crash we didn't have enough to drive them off. Despite this, I was always excited for raids because I could earn badges and I was helping WG out. I honestly prefer warring any time but I still attended every raid I could (yes, that included the Aussie ones, I couldn't let Rob beat me in attendance  ). Not showing up is like a slap in the face. It's like you guys are less important to me than cutting trees or skilling or whatver it is. So don't ever fuckin bitch about raids, if you don't come you don't have any right to complain about it (that means you skillers and your whining about how you're ignored). There are vaild reasons not to come to raids but the whole attitude right now is bullshit, everyone else suffers because certain people can't bother to devote an hour to their clan when they have plenty of time to do other things in the whole rest of the week. /rant P.S. I won't read this topic again so bitching here won't do you any good. -------------------- July 5, 2007 - June 27, 2011 | ||||||||||||

| IRC Nickname: pminogue Group: Ex-Member Posts: 277 Member No.: 108 Joined: January 5, 2008 Total Events Attended: 50 | LOL why r u people worried about low levels? i understand how much the "green" stands out a lot more than yellow or red, but you just have to work around it in a raid or war. I, for example, am usually always green in videos of our past wars. but i have my tricks to keep me from being piled, especially when i am hybriding. first off, just hide in the main pile. second of all, just follow someone whom you know is leader or tertiary leader of some sort, and hope to god they are not sniping LOL. (MoD war?) third of all, pray melee for the first few moments of the rush in a war. really combat level shouldnt be an excuse to not come to a war. if anything, them lvl 120's should fear YOU. --------------------  | ||||||||||||
