Mugger, not to be rude, but I seriously hope you're going to beef up your application.

I read through it and you have some good stuff in there, it's just...you're applying to be our main leader in wars. I need to know in detail what you're going to do to solve the drama, how you'll manage the short-prep wars without making the clan feel like we're having to many fights and how you plan to help repair the clan.

You've got about a paragraph for each. That's like a mediocre post in the Suggestions forum, and this is for your application to be one of our leaders.

As it is now, it's a good start. I'm sure you'll get votes based on that regardless, but I hate to say this - It needs a lot of work.

The application is just a summary.
That is decent length Colonel.
We make further detailed judgments from his ongoing behaviour.

I'm simply speaking on my behalf. I know it's decent, but I can't help but feel that there should just be more. I can't explain it really.

I mean we all know without a doubt that he's capable, and that we'd all be comfortable with it. He's got a great attitude towards everything and is very good about keeping level headed.

I just feel like the application should have lots of work put into it.

I say it needs work based on my personal standards.

Application for Council

1. Have you read and understood the warning?


Yes. I am ready and excited for what is coming.


2. What makes you think you can last a long term in the council?


I can handle stress. Hell, I cope with stress on a daily basis. I take 2 AP Classes (College level) and 3 Honors Classes in my third year in High School. Sometimes, I go home and do homework, and don't finish until 11 PM, with about 30 minutes total break. It's not easy. I've gone home to study 4 hours for a Pre-Cal (H), only to receive a D on the test. It sucks, but I move on.

Also, I feel I'm allowed to say being in this clan a year and about 2 months helps. In this time, I've said hello to a lot of people. I've said sad goodbyes to tons as well. I've built insanely close personal relationships with a majority of members. You know who you are. :> I've been a tertiary for a year as of December. WG, especially the sub-culture in the IRC, represents a “home away from home.” Every single day, I spend hours and hours on IRC chatting with all the other members. Aside from warring, chatting with members of our own brotherhood is my favorite thing to do on RuneScape and this clan. I am not going anywhere.



3. Is there anything coming up in the next 6 months that could make you highly inactive?


No way. The only real spontaneous inactivity I predict in the near future is possibly a two week trip with my family near Christmas time. I am still RuneScape active. I have plenty of goals in the near future, so I see no plan to retire any time soon either.


4. Why are you applying for council?


Obviously, there is a vacant spot and we have no current Warlord. (Duh) WG needs this spot filled as soon as possible. There is a huge clash going on between warring, skilling, and community. I know I can bridge the gap between all of these into one cause and one cause only: The Wilderness Guardians. I will do my best to perfect our warring sector so we can be a public powerhouse of a clan, but at the same time make warring and this clan an OPTIMISTIC environment. Without optimism, no plan, however brilliant, can succeed. No one will be left behind. I will help everyone to enjoy this brotherhood. WG is in true need of this spot filled, and I truly believe I am the best candidate for that.


5. What does WG need most and what will you do as a council member?


WG needs unity. We are split right now and there is needless arguing. Elias has been very good with his recent post about this, but there is still uneasiness going about. We need to do some clan unity events, such as fire fests, or a giant clan walk where we go around spamming and showing our image to the world. Also, since we do seem to have been favoring warring lately, we should set up another Skilling War, possibly with a real skilling clan. If we find a very strong skilling clan, we could even do an Allied Skill War, since we seem to have ignored them recently as allies.


6. What puts you above other people applying for council?


I am not above anyone in the clan. I cannot say I have more of a passion for warring than another applicant. Every other applicant has just as much love for warring. I’m sure. We are all equal, but I feel I can do the best in the Warlord position because I am committed and I will stop at nothing for the absolute best of this clan and its members. A philosophy I have adopted from my school is Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam, which translates to “For the Greater Glory of God.” Even though I am neither catholic nor religious, I have put meaning into this phrase. We are encouraged to be “Men for Others.” I do my best on a daily basis to fulfill this. I will give my all.
Even though by title I will be a Warlord, but I will function to help the clan as a whole. I won’t alienate myself to someone who will win a war, ignoring the emotional cost and theft of personal freedom of our individuals.
I promise not to talk down to anyone. I will never try to throw out anyone’s idea without seriously considering it.




7. What is your greatest weakness in terms of being a leader?


Well, to start. I am 16 years old and in High School. I cannot claim to know the best way of doing everything, if anything. I haven’t learned every life lesson yet. I am direct in my approach to most problems. This is good because I get the job done. This can be bad because it may not be what you would like to hear, and I will point out your flaws. However, I will allow you a chance to defend yourself and fix any problem.


8. Is there anything else you would like to say?


My identity will not change. I will still be Glenn Carson, your spazzy, funny, insane, perverted, rocker, teenage friend. I will most likely continue to slap you with slippery trout on IRC every 5 seconds, if not more often. I will probably still use moose talk and be silly. The important distinction is this. I am serious when in a serious situation. There is a time and a place for everything, and I will be sure to take part in this. On topics addressing wars, I will be serious. I will enforce all necessary rules and distribute discipline where it must be distributed. I will do what is necessary for our clan to flourish in every aspect.


9. Do you agree to provide the council with two weeks’ notice if you wish to resign?


Absolutely. It is unfair to ditch the clan and leave everyone hanging, especially with the head of the Warring Department.





PS: I won't have to bribe members for the Adult Forum pass if I win this! Council get full access to Adult Forums!!!! W00000000000000000000000T!!!!

Let Emeritus vote this time plz. Warlords do actually have an impact on us since we do go to wars from time to time.

Emeritus is an inactive rank, however reciently Lordy has used activity as a way to remove emeritus to ex-member. The rationale for emeritus not voting is that they are inactive, and as such should not have representation concerning ranks in the clan that pertain almost exclusively to those who are active.

Either emeritus are an inactive rank, or emeritus get representation. We cannot have it both ways.

Since Emeritus have are now being held to standards of activity, specifically concerning signing up for wars, they should be given representation in this election.


_____________

To the candidates, both of you are well qualified, however there are certian areas which I hope you could elaborate:
-How to solve the conflict in the clan. As I see it, there are three ways, either you re-direct the focus of the clan to emphasize warring over skilling, try to reach a compromise by getting warriors involved in skilling and vise versa, or just give people the freedom to go to the events that they like.

-How would you handle the emeritus rank. To me, the loss of both the definition of emeritus as an inactive rank, and the loss of representation are inherently contradictory, and show that the emeritus rank is simply a convenient scapegoat. I am sure you both disagree with me, but at any rate you need to help define the emeritus rank so we are not pitting one part of our clan against another.

-What would be your primary method to improve wars, and in which direction would you take warring; should we aim to climb ranks by recruiting more, or should we seek to become a relatively effective and efficient warring clan for our size.

-What would be your primary method to improve wars, and in which direction would you take warring; should we aim to climb ranks by recruiting more, or should we seek to become a relatively effective and efficient warring clan for our size.

- The conflict in the clan is one of my main focuses. A clan can not operate effectively with everyone at eachother's throats. Especially with the unnecessary often-brought-up Skiller vs warrer arguments. I personally hope to elaborate on your third option, being let people go to the events that they want to go to. There is obviously the exception where there are events for which mass attendance is needed to represent the clan in the best way possible, i.e. full out wars and skill olympics, in which everyone who is CAPABLE of coming to these sort of events, really ought to participate. You can't just gain, gain, gain from a clan. However, for events that dont necessarily need mass attendance in order to best represent the clan, obviously events would be more optional.

- Emeritus has always been tricky for me. I've always understood it as a rank to which key members are eligible to move to when they are becoming increasily inactive. From what I understand though, it is not an purely inactive rank, I.e. it's not a list of people who don't participate in WG events anymore, equivilently, ex-members, but instead people who actively are required to at least sign up to full out wars. If people can't come to events any more, I genuinely believe that the All WG Ever memberlist is the equivilent to be taken :\ I support Elias' newly implimented Emeritus activity standards.

QUOTE

- Simple. We do both. There's no reason why we can't recruit more and train them equally well. I've already began trying to do this to the best of my capability by hosting weekly war trainings and recruiting people from LFAC on RSC. Unfortunately, in order to win RAW fights, numbers often proves to be the key issue for a war, as they are always full outs. I strongly believe we need to increase our number, due to the attendance we've had recently, but not to a point that the new members are unable to be good, effective members.

Hope I've answered your questions.

Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion I gain strength.
Through strength I gain power.
Through power I gain victory.
Through victory my chains are broken.
The force shall free me.
There is no fear, there is power.
There is no death, there is immortality.
There is no weakness, there is the Dark Side.
I am the Heart of Darkness.
I know no fear,
But rather I instill it in my enemies.
I am the destoyer of worlds.
I know the power of the Dark Side.
I am the fire of hate.
All the Universe bows before me.
I pledge myself to the Darkness.
For I have found true life,
In the death of the light.
