    IRC Nickname: Group: Guests Posts: Member No.: 0 Joined: January 1, 1970 Total Events Attended: 1    | After a super secret council meeting over TS earlier tonight, various plans have been set in place to secure WGs future and ensure a better quality of clan life for you guys. Upon reviewing every aspect of Wildguard - From it's leadership to the application process, to the sectors themselves. We've come up with a new plan for WG that will be initiated over the course of the next week. On Monday the 2nd of March, the forums will be down for 24 hours to allow us to make vital changes to user ranks and the forum structure. To give you guys an idea of what we have planned, here is a brief explanation. 1. Sector Merge The sectors will be merged. They are not working right now. WG will be just how it used to be - One big clan that offers everything. Universal requirements, around about 100 F2P combat or 110 P2P. Existing members will not be removed from the clan for not meeting requirements, but will be pushed hard to train to them over time. 2. Event/PK attendance requirements All and any event goes to attendance, no matter what it is. 8 people must be at an event to make it count OR any event hosted by a raid leader/event coordinator/council 3. Tertiary leaders will have their ranks modified in the following ways: Wilderness Leaders --> Raid Leaders --> Specialize in fighting events Skill Leaders --> Event Coordinators --> Specialize in community/skilling events Community Leaders --> Moderators --> Clean forums, mod IRC Application Managers stay the same. Fighting/Skilling members will be moved over to the combined purple rank at Trial, Guardian, Higher or Elite depending on their current rank. 4. Community members All current community go to emeritus. In future only higher+ will be eligible for this rank upon quitting runescape/going inactive. Requirements for this rank also include having access to your runescape account and be willing to use it for important events/wars. 5. Memberlists/Ranks Fighting list gone, Skills list gone, Community list gone. All merged into one list. Possibly an emeritus list 6. New Application structure This will be completed by Eugene. 7. New forum structure: Announcements ---- Announcements War Forum Events ---- Clan events Wilderness events Clan Matters ---- Hellos & Goodbyes - Inactivity - Hall of Shame Suggestions, Compliments, Rants Guides & Tutorials -Runescape Guides -WG Guides General Matters Real Life Forum Trial Guardian Graduations Security Forums ---- Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 (All tertiaries) Level 4 Public Forums ---- Remain the same 8. Recruitment Plans PM people looking for a clan on RSC, make a personal message and personalize it for them. Along the lines of "this is what you said you wanted, this is what we have" 9. New Teamspeak Server - possibility of making it public, private rooms for events with password on forums 10. morale All council to be on runescape for at LEAST 5 hrs a week. We'll be showing the clan that there is way more to the clan than winning wars. There will be more community events to aid morale and not emphasize on winning wars. We will be showing that having fun is the most important thing at the end of the day. That right there is just a short-list of what we're going to be doing over the next 5-9 days. We need you to hang in there and allow us to make these potentially life-saving changes to the clan. I hope i've outlined it alright using mine and dz's notes from the meeting. If you have any concerns/queries/suggestions you can post them here. -------------------- | ||

 IRC Nickname: chip54321 Group: Emeritus Posts: 532 Member No.: 119 Joined: January 11, 2008 Total Events Attended: 197 | wow, sounds great! just maybe one small suggestion: maybe a goal and achievement thread, not just achievement, becaues that way you can tell everyone your goal in RS as oppose to when you achieve it. I look forward 2 the changes though!  --------------------      | ||

| IRC Nickname: Group: Banned Posts: 2447 Member No.: 114 Joined: January 8, 2008 Total Events Attended: 149 | I don't like to train cmb, I don't like being fucking pushed into it. I really hated that I was training to get ready for the damned bh pkri (even got more def), yet I felt like I had no choice. Being shoved into doing something that I don't want to do makes me not want to play rs. I'll be seriously thinking about what to do. Don't fucking push me to train combat. -------------------- | ||

 IRC Nickname: Jenny Group: Emeritus Posts: 1967 Member No.: 19 Joined: December 29, 2007 Total Events Attended: 56 | This is how its going to be..getting combat is not asking too much. Under the old rules of our clan you would never have been allowed in, but you were. The least you can do is your part in getting combat min. You are no better than anyone else to be exempt from it. --------------------   | ||

 IRC Nickname: Indivi2you Group: Elite Guardian Posts: 5361 Member No.: 43 Joined: December 30, 2007 Total Events Attended: 623 | Hmm, i do not really like this change. This is all i can say. I'm no longer a fighter, i refuse have to come to BH trips because it is mandatory. It's not for losing rune or w/e. I have no problem with cash, im loaded. The joy of the fighting sector really lost me. Uff, thinking of the future. ~Saad -------------------- The First, The Last, and the Only ~FLO Never say never, because limits, like fears, are often just an illusion. ~Michael Jordan      | ||

| IRC Nickname: [Randy] Group: Raid Leader Posts: 5065 Member No.: 16 Joined: December 29, 2007 Total Events Attended: 499 | Obviously the skill sector is going to take this the wrong way, but think about this. As of right now, we're in a slump because we're not putting our time and effort into what builds strong clans. What makes a strong clan? Lots of members. What gets lots of members? Wilderness, straight up. People join powerhouse clans because they want to dominate. Better fighting sector = more members = better turn outs to skill events. Skill sector members really just need to relize that spending an hour (or less) in a miniwar is worthwhile. So please, spend that extra time you may have training a little combat, because in the long run, you'll get better skilling  -------------------- | ||

 IRC Nickname: bto Group: Emeritus Posts: 3815 Member No.: 196 Joined: February 3, 2008 Total Events Attended: 332 | Alot of you may not like it, but if conditions are going to get better, It'll require sacrifice from all of us. Tbh, I think we should have alot more fighting events. Even though we cant BH, we can still fight other clans in CW -------------------- bto  Ex-WG Warlord  "It is our direction, not our intentions, that lead us to our destinations." | ||

 IRC Nickname: DZ Group: Elite Guardian Posts: 2991 Member No.: 18 Joined: December 29, 2007 Total Events Attended: 238 | It's not like the council sat down and said "lets make these changes at it will harm us". We thought "what would be the best way to improve WG right now or in the near future?". So we thought, brainstormed ideas, and came up with the best ones. I really think these plans are good - it will unify us. I really hope people don't read this and take it the wrong way, we are going to work on ways to make WG the best and most enjoyable it can be. I'm not going to get into heavy detail here, but I really hope those who enjoy skilling and solely enjoy skilling don't take this the wrong way. We are not making fighting mandatory by any means. There will be just as many, if not more 'skilling and community' events (I say this assuming the Event Coords do their job  ). Yes you will be eligible and yes some people will probably pressure you into going to some 'fighting' events, but you will never have to show up to them on a constant basis. An official war which is like once a month is all we ask, one fight.The same can be directed to those who enjoy fighting only. You will be asked to go to some 'skilling' events and no you probably won't want to, but you should. The clan is trying to get united. Refusing to go to some events that aren't your favourite isn't the right approach, be willing and help out this new system. A happy clan = good events = more members Lets all work together in these next few weeks to bring WG up. It may not be easy and at some parts may not be fun, but we can do this. Let's get back to the clan we once were. (the reason i put 'skilling/community/fighting' in 's is because I don't think they should be called that anymore. We are one clan, we have one type of events. All kinds. [if that made sense!]) -------------------- Now back to the good part! | ||

| IRC Nickname: Spicy63 Group: Emeritus Posts: 785 Member No.: 50 Joined: December 30, 2007 Total Events Attended: 0 | Overall a good idea, seems like we're going into a rebuilding stage like that of March last year for those of you who remember it. Was a great time. The Skilling Members will have the biggest effect of all here, being as how they'll need to train combat. But considering there was a mimal Combat Req for the skills sector to begin with that's already decently close to the new combined requirment it shouldn't be to hard. A big suggestion here; A Ventrilo Server, it's more easily accesible and user friendly than TS, capable of holding many more channels and people at a fewer cost. And can include Passworded and ranked channels for Council Chat and such. Here is just a lay out of what one might look like;  Picture --------------------   | ||

 IRC Nickname: His Lordship Group: Founder Posts: 6029 Member No.: 1 Joined: December 26, 2007 Total Events Attended: 129 | Essentially yes, Georgio. Wind, I understand completely that it's not fair to you. You joined the clan fair and square under the promise that you wouldn't be forced to train combat. In my position I'm stuck in a difficult situation. Option A: I get you to train combat... I'm destroying an essential component of your WG experience Option B: I grant you exception... That makes me biased for not enforcing requirements. I hope you understand the difficult position I'm in. If you can, I'd like to hear any suggestions you have. It's a lose-lose situation for me. --------------------  | ||

Lordy, maybe make the req 100+ for skillers and not 110 even if they are p2p. Thats really as half way as you can go.....im not really sure.....maybe just expect them to do it for the good of wg.....i mean if the skillers really care. 10 cmb levels shouldn't be to hard or test their patience in reality, its not much work tbh, just give them a deadline of say 2-3 months, wasn't that all there was for dg when dg was disbanned?. 100 cmb is easy enough in p2p and f2p is kind of difficult but still quite easy. just my opinion -------------------- | ||
