Attendance:


+Rick_Hamm

The attendance was not as good as previous weeks, however this is because it was on a Tuesday this week instead of a Sunday as usual, oh well, no worries

What we Discussed:

1. Mickey brought up the point of how introductions are less formal and a lot more impersonal now than they used to be.
People mention a lot about their previous clans in their introductions and virtually nothing about who they are and what they like to do.
- Elias and the council are already on top of this and will be implementing changes soon!

2. Calendar- the point was brought up because we do not use it enough and need to start using it a lot more.
Many members check the calendar every day/every few days to see if there are any events coming up and if an event is not posted on there then it gets missed.
Please post all events on the calendar!

3. IRC Event Script- Kingrandy0 brought this up. The idea is that when an event is organised it would be inputted into an IRC event script and then when people want to check what the next event is they would type !event into the IRC window and it would tell them and link them to the relevant topic.

Pros: 1. Makes people more likely to attend events as event info is now more easily accessible.

Cons:
1. It would take time for the already stretched staff to add events to the script.
2. It would mean less people went onto the forums.
3. Essentially defeats the point of an event organiser posting a topic- it will not get read.

What is your opinion on this matter?

4. Events wanted by the members- Chappell argued that there are far too many events that the majority of members do not want to attend because they are boring, apparently many members would rather attend castle wars.
Therefore a poll/topic will be set up to see which events WG members like to attend.
However this brings me to my next point:

5. Event Reptition- Even if you like an event a lot, event leaders/raid leaders will not host the same event every week, even if you like it the event host still has feelings and their opinion matters immensely.

Also people like change, change is good and it boosts the clans skills (RS skills + skills as in qualities).
The same event every week get boring because they generally do not change a lot (the exception is raids, since on raids you always have different targets and you go to different areas)

Thank you very much for coming everyone, we had a lot of discussion about the above issues and we will see what gets done in the near future.

If you have comments on any of the above issues please post them below.
