      IRC Nickname: His Lordship Group: Founder Posts: 6029 Member No.: 1 Joined: December 26, 2007 Total Events Attended: 129    | Its a confusing time to be a member of WG. I want to post my thoughts on the state of the clan and where we are headed. We pulled 61 people to one war, then under 40 to another. Spies are going under the radar because of somewhat lax activity standards. Event attendance counts for little, and rolling event attendance counts for nothing. Excuses for inactivity are one post away. Nothing is done about non sign-ups for wars. But then again, on the plus side, our IRC is active as well as our forums, which is a good start. And what happened to that inactivity sweep I promised? I'm very sorry to have fallen behind. It involves sifting through about 300 screenshots and then other various things. It will happen before I leave for Vietnam. Let's say tomorrow as soon as I get back form the gym, I'll sit down and give it 4-5 hours. And as a warring clan we are amazing. We have warring under our belt. I suspect this coming war against RE will remind us we are capable of great things. We simply need to transfer that power into PKRIs. Every member now needs to have 5 rune sets in their bank and 1k binds. Without exception. Anyone with sub-80 mage now needs to train to get it. That will be one of my priorities after I return from Asia. Every member has to have infinite run. We WILL be making PKRI's bigger in the future. The way it will work is like this. We will have set raid times once more. I liked that system because every timezone was given some attention. We will make a fourth raid on top of this, with sign ups. This will be the "big raid" which will replace wars. We head out with our larger than normal options, we go hunt down clans that thought they could beat us, we return. If a big clan like VR comes, we leave. If they keep hunting us, by elimination we'll be able to solo out the spy. There will be a major raid every week, unless there is a war. Wars will no longer happen every week. In same cases, these "big raids" will replace one of the other raids. So yes. In WG it is expected that you attend these weekly massive events. There will also be the election of a new event leader. I'm going to teach my event leaders to look out for people who keep dodging events. One reason spies can go unfound in WG is inactivity. Spies belong to other clans. If we had stricter activity standards, they would be caught in an inactivity check. So prepare for more PVP and returning. If we're to be taken seriously, and grow as a clan, this has to happen. We've hit a wall, and we won't be able to grow unless we break through that wall.  --------------------  | ||

We need EVERYONE to be putting in the effort, not just the leaders. The leaders put alot of effort into this clan, it's not too much to ask that you give a little back. --------------------   | ||

I look forward to my training on spy control, although currently I could easily give you a few names of those who continuously dodge events  --------------------    | ||

| IRC Nickname: Stokenut Group: Guest Posts: 2062 Member No.: 805 Joined: June 10, 2008 Total Events Attended: 112 | As long as we keep away from clan wars I'm all for it. Theres little difference between organizing a war in clan wars as there is to having one in fight pits or castle wars. It exemplifies our fear of losing a 200k rune set and puts us in a category of noob clans. Do we really want to be the next Tunescape? or EVEN pixel hugging NI? If we're going to get serious about PKRIing I suggest requiring applicants have several sets of gear banked and proven on application. -------------------- Over 6 years of history and friendship, deleted over a difference in an opinion. --- Challenge any creationist to a debate.

| IRC Nickname: His Lordship Group: Founder Posts: 6029 Member No.: 1 Joined: December 26, 2007 Total Events Attended: 129 | We're going to treat the raids as regular events, and make the megaraids worth war attendance. We will judge the activity of a member based on both. You need good war attendance AND event attendance to remain in WG. The skills sector has been a little forgotten, but it really has the ability to thrive under this change. -------------------- | ||

| IRC Nickname: Group: Banned Posts: 2447 Member No.: 114 Joined: January 8, 2008 Total Events Attended: 149 | ....... You already know my opinion. Go through it in your head. Then think on how many raids I'll actually go to, and how much I'll hate every single one of them. Eventually, I'll start hating the people who want me to go. Don't push me into going to raids. You won't like the result. -------------------- | ||

| IRC Nickname: Mmangler Group: Emeritus Posts: 1595 Member No.: 1580 Joined: December 24, 2008 Total Events Attended: 165 | Hmm, I never equated inactivity with a spying but it makes sense. I was given to understand that WG was not primarily a warring clan but did have some war activities. Well, I was looking for new adventures and I hope that I will be able to contribute more to warring activities in the future. -------------------- | ||
