I feel, in my experience, it is best to make elite the cut-off point. At higher guardian, you are still learning about WG. In fact everyone in the council is still learning about WG, but you only get to a stage where you know the clan through and through at around the Elite Guardian rank. -------------------- ![]() | ||

Have you read and understood the warning? Yes 2. What makes you think you can last a long term in the council? I know i'm not going anywhere. The challenges ahead are something that I really am looking forward to overcoming. If someone needs to sacrifice their time to ensure an enjoyable experience for the members, I will be it. I have already been in WG for around 1.5 years, and don't see an end. School work has not been a problem, I have always been on the forums and IRC several hours on weekdays, and always on weekends. 3. Is there anything coming up in the next 6 months that could make you highly inactive? Nope 4. Why are you applying for council? I am appying for council because I know I can lead WG towards the right direction. The clan is not perfect, and although I cannot make it perfect, I promise to get as close as I can. I like helping people, and always have. I get the most satisfaction from helping others. This job is not to be taken lightly, and i'm ready to step up and give it my all. I can only prove so much of myself as a member, and being council will open up so many doors for me. Council isn't something that you can "try" and realize it's not for you.. it IS for me. 5. What does WG need most and what will you do as a council member? Activity One of the main issues that I will cover if elected into council is activity. I have always been annoyed when it comes to this. With a member list of over eighty members, don’t you think at least fifteen could show up to an event? Sometimes the mark barely hits ten. So, this being said, I have devised a plan hoping for an increase of activity. Also note, this is no0t just me making events, but giving ideas to event leaders to make. -Teamspeak based events. Not wars or wilderness based. Events where members lead teams, using nothing but their voice, bringing people out of their shells and making new friendships. (Optional, of course). -Event votes. Monthly, possibly even weekly. I want to know what the members want. If they do what they enjoy, activity will rise, and turnouts will increase. -More allied events. Everything is fun with more people, especially with monkeys and hawt British accents. Strengthening bonds between clans is very important. -After event polls. After an event is over, a poll shall be placed on the recap. Members will then vote 1-5 on the fun scale. This will help determine if the event was a success for failure, while being completely anonymous. Warring It has come to my attention that some people despise of warring. Warring is not always there for fun, but to show domination over other clans. The more we practice, the better our domination will be, and the more fun you will have, guaranteed. Practice makes perfect. That is why I have come up with this idea of the WG Warring Academy, which I already alerted level 3 about my plan. -War Practices. Set practice times once per time zone, depending on the raid leader. Each practice will count as an event, as long as you complete the course. The course will be determined by the raid leader, including things such as binding, tanking, pile switching, anti-snipe (and sniping for snipers), and free sessions. -Extra help. War training will be targeted on members individually than the clan as a whole. Let’s face it, some people are better than others at warring. If we analyze each member individually, it will make the clan stronger as a whole. -Training. I believe training is key to warring success. I want to introduce something called the “Pre-War Level.” What this will be is assuming that an official war is posted a week in head of time, everyone who gains a level in either attack, strength, defense, hp, or 3 prayer levels gains an attendance point. This will be a quick yet affective training incentive. Recruitment I hope to draft a new kind of recruitment method, as well as rewarding members who recruit their own friends. Recruitment has been not so great ever since our recruitment video has been stopped; therefore we need something to be done. Clan Rules Personally, I feel the rules in WG need to be set in stone and be a bit more enforced. The amount of rants against people’s behavior has been noticed. I feel the rules for IRC, Teamspeak, and Forums (and signatures) need to be enhanced. Don’t think this is a blow against fun, because that’s the last thing I want to do. Clan Pride Last but not least, clan pride. I want the members of WG to proudly know what they’re a part of. Not just a member of a clan… a guardian of the wilderness. WG needs a huge boost to its current reputation, whether it’s done by Runescape Community, public/clan world events, cool videos, whatever! This will be my biggest goal, and I will stop at nothing until it’s done. I live in the EST timezone. We NEED an active council for that timezone. 6. What puts you above other people applying for council? I am more qualified than other people for this position because I have more that motivates me than just a rank. There is nothing I want more than to have WG rise on top once again. I’m willing to put in everything in my power to do so. Motivation is clutch, and to help me out I have some character traits that I feel are unique. -Determination. I have a purpose. I will not stop until what has to be done is done. -Creativity. Growing up, I would always take the wild path instead of the boring one. Always try new things and learn and apply. I will always find some kind of interesting way to make sure everyone has fun. -Activity. I am definitely one of the more active members of WG, I go to every event in my power and play runescape constantly. I’m always checking the forums and most of the time in IRC. You have my early mornings and my late nights. -Attitude. Calm, cool, and collective. I never lose my temper. I try my best not to get mad at people and situations, so you can always expect a kind answer from me. -Clan Knowledge. Leading – no sweat. I’ve been to a fair share of clans, primarily those in the top 10. The memories of how big clans function are still floating around in there. I am extremely familiar with forum ACP and IRC moderating, don't even worry about that. 7. What is your greatest weakness in terms of being a leader? My greatest weakness in terms of being a leader would have to be punishment. Have you ever seen me mad at someone? It's hard for me. I rarely ever snap at people. Handing out punishments is something I would hate to do because i'm too nice of a person. 8. Which place are you mainly applying for? (Secondary Warlord OR General Council) General Council 9. Is there anything else you would like to say? Think about it. Think about who you're voting for and why. Know what you want to seen be changed and who will change it for you. Hopefully your decision will be the right one. Goodluck to everyone else applying. No matter who wins, nothing will seperate the friendships that were made before this election. 10. Do you agree to provide the council with two weeks’ notice if you wish to resign? Yes -------------------- ![]() ![]() | ||

I personally think that all considerations need to be taken - by knowing the person and by what they apply - and be possibly in a less bias and objective manner. But the truth, to me, is that you need to consider all possible sides, and not wipe clean to see from a "clean" slate - in truth, that is not realistically possible - and even the 3rd side ![]() Someone can be nice, but it does not mean they can do the job. Someone can be autocratically 'nasty' and firm, but why? Very different from managing themselves to a few to a whole clan. Not nice if running fancy rampants on everyone because 'I say so!' - dictatorship. If you like it, so be it. It happens sometimes. Then it depends on what kind of style of leadership you like. But what you like cannot be just you, but rather, do you think that "style" will help the whole clan, long run? However, to me, no one can really vouch for themselves if members do not know them well, I believe, the setting of pre-requisites has their reasons, length of period is important. Personally (first hand) regardless if they want to apply or not, there's nothing like the "out of the blue" that comes "out of the blue" for no reason. So, friendly surprises are commendable but it also speaks on the other side - impatience and audicity to overturn considered rules. Commendable, because bold and outright. Qualities but some outweigh the others obviously. Whatever leaders and leadership you prefer, will speak for itself, so best of wishes to all candidates and best to all voters. Btw, could you guys try developing some kind of election banner for yourselves? This way, supporters could use them and creates a little healthy competition ![]() ![]() Edited: added paras. -------------------- "I will listen to you, especially when we disagree." - Barack Obama ![]() | ||

Just a suggestion, go back and edit it and make things a little more clear. give questions a specific color, that way we know when one answer starts and finishes. Also, neaten up your answer to question 5. When I read it the first time around, I thought the initial four line response was it and just thought to myself "What the hell is that?" Again, make clear the different aspects you're targeting, and possibly even point out the various sub-headings. There is one response which I think you should change, or at least bolster, but I don't know if I'm allowed to tell, since it's your application an all. Overall, great answers, decent length. I had a strong feeling we'd see your name amongst the candidates. Just who will you be running against, that is the question. Note: Like the allusion to Hamlet?

Here goes my application ![]() Application for Council 1) Have you read and understood the warning? Yes ![]() 2) What makes you think you can last a long term in the council? Council to me isn't just a place of power: A shiny Op on the IRC Channel, an Orange name, ACP. No, It's a place of epic responsibility in which you have many many REAL people depending on you. I believe I could last a long time as Council because I have the ability to recieve feedback and work WITH people to achieve both their and my goals. I believe that my natural leadership capabilitys make me able to take on the huge task which is the Wilderness Guardians Council position. 3) Is there anything coming up in the next 6 months that could make you highly inactive? There's nothing in my future that will make me HIGHLY inactive. Truthfully though, there will be a week or two in January 09 where I will be taking my GCSE mock exams, and so will be under stress (and as a result be relatively inactive. I'm sure this will also be the same for Dale) 4) Why are you applying for council? I'm applying for Council for a variety of reasons. The main reason is because I genuinely believe I can help not just WG, but also the members of WG. I believe I can be a person which people can confide in, and easily talk to when in need. I'm capable of being relaxed, having a laugh (as I think a lot of you know ![]() As it stands, i see many opportunities coming up for WG in which we could really make a serious name for ourselves. I'd really like to be a part of the improvements that we make during this time, and help us ensure we do indeed use the upcoming opportunities to make a name for us. I explain this more in the next question in regard to the upcoming PvP Worlds. Also, I can see a few problems in WG, some minor, some slightly more important, that really do need to be addressed as soon as possible. I explain these issues i'd mainly like to change in the following question. 5) What does WG need most and what will you do as a council member? If elected, I intend on doing my best to improve/do the following things (For clarity, I have colour coded these points): - PvP Worlds - Recruitment - Emeritus - Specific Event Activity ~ PvP Worlds - With the upcoming PvP Worlds, I really do feel that we need to be as prepaired as possible. The Wilderness Guardians were designed to do just that, Guard the people of the wilderness. When the wilderness was removed by Jagex, we, in a sense, became obselete. Don't get be wrong, we weren't a dead clan as a result of it, our community has obviously continued to flourish and we kept doing pretty well at CWA and the skilling aspect of WG. However, as I think Elias said, these PvP worlds could be our ticket back into Fame, and Fame is exactly where I hope to take us. PvP worlds will mark the begining of a new era in WG in my opinion, just as the end of the wilderness was the end of an older era. This could bring back the flare that WG knew and loved. - ~ Recruitment - Recruitment has been a concern for me over the past month or so. I believe that we strongly require to head in a new direction as far as recruitment is concerned. As it stands, we get about 4 - 6 introductions per week. That, in my opinion, is too few to offer full support for a clan as strong as this one. I'm not saying we should mass recruit, because in my opinion that never works out well (Results in the influx of bad members and so a deteriorating community (leading to a slump)). Instead, I believe we should try to get our name out a lot more. I personally would love new people to get to know and add to our already great community. EDIT: Post PvP, Having experienced a few Raids now, I emphasise my standpoint on recruitment even more. I really feel we need a new structured recruitment method, including an ACTIVELY BUMPED RSC Post, and a template for people to use when seeing people looking for a clan. - ~ Emeritus - Emeritus in my opinion is a fairly flawed rank. As far as I'm aware, the rank of Emeritus, although not being in the active sector of a clan, does require presence at major wars/PKRIs that are advertised well in advanced. For the PKRI we had against MoD, we had 19 of our 44 Emeritus sign up. That, in my opinion is not good enough for our Emeritus sector. There are some Emeritus who I've never even heard of, and never seen on IRC or at wars in all of my time here. It needs to be re-thought, and I intend on doing my best as far as this is concerned. - ~ Specific Event Activity - The events at the moment are either General Events or Wilderness Events. Obviously, people have their preferences. In fact, some people despise (for example) going to Wilderness Events, and only enjoy General Events. To be honest, I think this needs to be respected a little more. I'm not saying it's fine for people who are online to completely skip important wars, but I do believe that their opinions should be respected, rather than shut down. Ways need to be devised to make these members find interest in wars, finding new ways of doing them possibly. I don’t believe on forcing things upon anyone, but I don’t believe that we should give up on having lots of members at wars either. We need to find a way to get as many people helping to represent their clan as possible, in a way that gives them pleasure also. - I obviously have a lot more smaller plans, but i’ll stick to the main ones in this post, so as to not bore you all. 6) What puts you above other people applying for council? I believe that I have been a leader all of my life, both on RuneScape and in real life (Yes i know Council isn’t leader, but i mean it’s a position of leadership). Real-Life wise, I’ve never gone a year without being a captain of a sports team (Football, Rugby, or Cricket). I was never the BEST player in the squads, but I was easily in possesion of the best leadership skills, and those experiences have only helped me to improve also. I was also our Sports Captain in my final year at my last school. Runescape-wise, in my last clan, I was, for the majority of my time in a position of responsibility. I rose quickly through the ranks, ending up as High Council (Equivilent of council here) for over 8 months to then go on to become the Leader of the clan for an equally long period. There I also learned a heck of a lot as far as clan leadership goes. I genuinely believe that I am very capable of taking on the role of Council here. 7) What is your greatest weakness in terms of being a leader? If I have any weaknesses at all as far as leadership is concerned, it’s when I see people blatantly disrespecting eachother, especially when it’s more than one person teaming up on another. I will often get pretty angry at this, and take possibly (in some people’s eyes) harsh action. Fortunately, I have never seen anything of the like in WG (at least over IRC (NEVER ever booted someone from #wg ![]() ![]() 8) Which place are you mainly applying for? (Secondary Warlord OR General Council) I swear it said in the main post the slot open was only for General Council? As a result, I'm applying for General Council ![]() 9) Is there anything else you would like to say? I’d just like to say that if anyone has any questions at all about any of my plans in the future, or ways in which I hope to improve WG, please do PM me on IRC or over the site. I really will do my best to answer your questions as best as I can ![]() ![]() 10) Do you agree to provide the council with two weeks’ notice if you wish to resign?

Just one suggestion content wise, maybe add a little more to the "Why are you applying for Council" question. I think that is one of, if not the single most important question on the entire application. Randy, the same goes for you as well, it just occurred to me now. I know I'm just one person and what you guys have now would probably satisfy a hefty majority of the clan, but I figure the reason for wanting the position at hand is VERY important. Mugger, possibly separate your four main "policies" by color. I know you've got obvious paragraph separation and the "~" symbol, but just some color to make it stand out as a different idea from whatever was before it. Also, just a pet peeve, but take out the smileys. This application is serious for the clan. I know you're not trying to make things boring, but applications aren't supposed to be fun and games. What you're doing is applying for a major decision making position. There is a time for smileys, but I just don't think this is the time of the place. I know I'm being pretty picky and really scrutinizing your applications, but I figure it's for the better. -------------------- ![]() ![]() | ||

I personally would love new people to get to know and add to our already great community. ~ Emeritus ~ Emeritus in my opinion is a fairly flawed rank. As far as I'm aware, the rank of Emeritus, although not being in the active sector of a clan, does require presence at major wars/PKRIs that are advertised well in advanced. For the PKRI we had against MoD, we had 19 of our 44 Emeritus sign up. That, in my opinion is not good enough for our Emeritus sector. There are some Emeritus who I've never even heard of, and never seen on IRC or at wars in all of my time here. It needs to be re-thought, and I intend on doing my best as far as this is concerned. ~ Specific Event Activity ~ The events at the moment are either General Events or Wilderness Events. Obviously, people have their preferences. In fact, some people despise (for example) going to Wilderness Events, and only enjoy General Events. To be honest, I think this needs to be respected a little more. I'm not saying it's fine for people who are online to completely skip important wars, but I do believe that their opinions should be respected, rather than shut down. Ways need to be devised to make these members find interest in wars, finding new ways of doing them possibly. I don’t believe on forcing things upon anyone, but I don’t believe that we should give up on having lots of members at wars either. We need to find a way to get as many people helping to represent their clan as possible, in a way that gives them pleasure also. - I obviously have a lot more smaller plans, but i’ll stick to the main ones in this post, so as to not bore you all. -------------------- ![]() ![]() | ||

With the dark background on the forums it's hard to read the purple and blue font, and one color would add a sense of uniformity. -------------------- ![]() | ||

I was thinking about a single color for subtitiles, but I figured, it might get a bit repetitive. Having every sub-point be green would be very uniform, but then each bit of information might register in the mind even for only a little while as in conjunction with the previous idea. Whereas if point A is green, and point B is red, you know they're different from the get go. Know what I mean? From here on in, I say we bring on the constructive criticism! -------------------- ![]() ![]() | ||

While I would normally agree with you, I think that certain people (Vince) deserved elite guardian a long long time ago. -------------------- ![]() ![]() | ||
