Events..

Alright so im not sure what to do anymore. when i wanted to be an event leader i wanted to get more members wanting to attend events and doing something fun where we can all hang out and be more active.. but lately I've been getting extremely annoyed with how I've been getting like 3 people to come to an event. and no i don't want to "duo" the boss. no offense but i think thats dumb. if i wanted to duo i would ask a friend to come. I spam irc lobby to let people know there's an event and yet i get the same people coming to penguins every week. theres people always online and dont even show or just dont want to be bothered coming.. idk what to do, ive been varying the bosses from arma, to corp, to tds, to bandos, ect. Like is there anything im doing wrong? Or do you think it'll change during the summer? put your opinions because i honestly dont know what to do anymore.

I hear ya. We'll have to bring this up at the clan meeting.

Perhaps try something else besides boss hunting. That's all you and you and Mark have been doing, and it wouldn't surprise me if people are bored with it.
Post your events more than 24 hours ahead of time.
In addition to noticing the lobby, spam it in the clan chat, and PM everybody who is in-game.

Well, I can just give you advice on what I experienced while as Event Leader.

You'll get mostly bad attendence, but being creative, and making up new or fun games/events is the way to go.

Aim to have fun and you'll find it more enjoyable and less about making people money.

You have tried to have boss killing events to make people money. If they don't want to come, screw em, you just do what YOU want to do.

I'm glad you made this post, I myself hope that Council step in and do something about it. Or i hope that the TS meeting gets ALOT of people to hear us out. Cause it really is being very disrespectful to us when noone wants to come.

From my perspective on this, I'm not bothered with the people that come to mine, if the same people wanna get richer and richer thats fine by me. The people that wanna sit there and whinge about not having money, or think that they have more than enough money are welcome to do as they please. I'm not stopping my PVM events every week, no effing way.

I get frustrated too at times but I know that's the state of our clan and we will have to live with it. I don't think it'll help telling people that coming to events will benefit us at all. People only come to our "small" events to get the events required for graduation. There are always a few loyal to WG activities but no where enough to make the event succesful.

Now I won't attack you and Mark's events because people enjoy them and find them most interesting of all normal events but like mentioned above, you haven't been doing anything else but hosting boss hunting events. You must show creativity to catch peoples attention.

My last two competitions (Mortal Kombat and Heavens slayer challenge) took days for me to plan because I wanted things to go differently than normal. Although the competitions don't look like much of a hard work, they are. It's all about getting fresh ideas and showing them to the members. My slayer event had like 15-20 active participants and I expect my Mortal Kombat tournament to exceed 15-20 as well.

I have listed some things that might help you:

• Be creative (Don't just host a firemaking event at G.E. like I did a week ago.. People won't attend because it makes no sense to light a fire. Although I disagree because it shows our ingame activity it's the not the way for our members to go)
• Be flexible (Listen to what people has to suggest. It's always for the better)
• Send PM's (I do this and I often get people to notice things they wouldn't. Sad story but sad truth)
• Let there be rewards (People love rewards; it doesn't have to be friggin' expensive all the time but in competition that lasts for a long time I tend to be a little generous as it get's people to attend
• Host events a week before event start (People will see your topic and they will have some time to find out what it's all about)
• Be helpful (If people don't understand your event you must take your time to explain it to them)

thanks so much everyone ill try out your ideas. and about the bossing, i like bossing alot and its an easy way to make money but people choose to stake and lose it all. then complain that they cant afford gear and food. or even pvp sets. its really getting rediculous last week me and a few people went to corp and we all made 10m+. its easy money but nobody wants to go. but i will definatly try to makr an original event

Yeah i have trouble making original events. But i have some competitions lined up for when I'm on holidays.

sick, ill try to make 1
