Cory and Anat are higher lvls too.

But what about guys like me who've been here and done that in the past? I hardly think that someone in the Elite rank now has more experience and knowledge of WG than someone in MY position. Granted, this would only apply if I, or someone like me, were to apply. Yes, to be honest, I've thought about it. -------------------- | ||||||||

Then you are excluding someone, this isn't about letting people try for a spot its about picking someone who will better the clan.
Then I guess that would be your vote. Let her do her thing and lets not cry about it.
Popularity contest or not, overall the council have complete control over anything, if someone got voted for the spot, and the council didn't think the person who got voted could fulfill what was needed, im sure it would be vetoed. --------------------  The Ultimate Skilling and Combat Badges Updated June 17th, 2011       | ||||||||

Don't be a hypocrite Rick. Your a guardian. And actually seeing as this concerns the whole of WG. It concerns me as well as I am part of WG just as you are. I may not be as "Active" as some but I sure as hell do my part. Don't bring this down to rank. -------------------- | ||||||||

A hypocrite?? Exactly how did what I say to you seem hypocritical? lol Learn word usage before trying to sound intelligent, please. Okay so since you didn't take it the nice way Kiwi...how about "It's none of your fucking business"? Is that better? Just worry about Emeritus and the election and not something as trivial as what MAY HAVE BEEN requests/requirements of my return. It has no bearing in this conversation whatsoever. For fucks sake already!!!! -------------------- | ||||||||

If you guys really do feel the need to argue over this, take it to some form of PM, though I'd personally suggest simply dropping it.

i said this the other day but i think its abit out of wack. it says elite guardian or higher and 4 months at least. how many people have been elite after 4 months? i think stoke was the only person given up for that and that didnt end out well. maybe make it higher rank + 6 months experience in the clan, because you still know the clan well, but you dont have to wait till council recognize you for it. --------------------  This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill Fifteen percent concentrated power of will Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain And a hundred percent reason to remember the name! 7th Highest Overall for Wars Attended. | ||||||||

| IRC Nickname: Gorgemaster Group: Elite Guardian Posts: 9840 Member No.: 3 Joined: December 26, 2007 Total Events Attended: 540 | Application for Council 1. Have you read and understood the warning? With all my heart yes. 2. What makes you think you can last a long term in the council? I have experience and I know all about the rank. I have witnessed the jobs of all of the council members and I have seen the difficulties that they face day by day and I think that I could be a great support to the existing council and staff members, as well as the current and future members of WG. I can keep my cool and I have a lot of great ideas and as a person I am naturally very imaginative and I think that that quality is good in a council member. 3. Is there anything coming up in the next 6 months that could make you highly inactive? Not at all (except from the first week of december Sunday-->Saturday) 4. Why are you applying for council? I have experience leading other clans - I rarely speak of this now but I made a clan with the help of some friends around 3 years ago and that prospered, had its downsides, prospered again, worked up to 70 members, good clan, extremely active, fun events, ownage members. I remember the stress and the hard work I had to put in to get that clan going and I would never trade in that experience for anything, since I enjoyed it so much. I am a "people-person", sure I have arguments occassionally, we all do. But I listen to the members and act upon their advice, suggestions. If someone pms me a suggestion I will take it into consideration and act upon it 5. What does WG need most and what will you do as a council member? WG needs people who can pull the clan through bad times and who have the ability to support the clan in everything that it does. I feel that I am a person who will be able to do this. - Find a way to increase the level of training of Pro Silentium- so we can all train better and gain more levels and destroy our future war targets - Host steel/iron wars- with allies and interclan as well- people dress up in steel and then fight each other basically, but they often die quickly owing to full steel. - Encourage more members to host events as well as Event Leaders as well as continously work with the members to create fun , never hosted before events. 6. What puts you above other people applying for council? I have been a skills leader since September 2007 after joining in July 2007. I have experience in leading clans before, some of you may remember my application, where I explained all about the clan Betrayed Phoenix which I founded, built and led for a year and a half. I am also very active. Attending events is hard for me during the week, however I am always on the forums, I generally have 1-2 hours every day to do WG related stuff. Whether that be forum work, rs events etc. I am responsible. I have done many jobs for the past council over the years and for lordy, most recently being compiling the RS event pictures from May + June events and then sending them to Gene to reduce his workload. I enjoy everything I do in WG, everything down to the menial tasks such as updating attendance 7. What is your greatest weakness in terms of being a leader? I do lose my temper sometimes. As humans we all do. But I am getting a lot better at not expressing my anger to people so that they get upset. If something does upset me I generally leave the IRC and go to confide in some old friend who will listen to me. 8. Is there anything else you would like to say? This is the third time I have applied for council, the last two times I narrowly lost the elections and I think perhaps that was a good thing that I didn't get council the last time. I was less experienced than I am now and I think now I am ready to devote a lot more time to WG. I have the time to work for my rank if I am elected and I assure you I will not let you down. 9. Do you agree to provide the council with two weeks notice if you wish to resign? Of course I do. Yes. Good luck to whoever else decides to stand ~George  -------------------- | ||||||||

Truely wrapped around the little finger. Now Rob, this will be my last post on the subject, you know absolutely nothing about the Leadership or WG. Come to think of it, you werent even close to thinking about WG when Jenny was council. If you want to quarrell more on politics, look me on the irc name "Cam", but ill have you know concerning WG, its history and its people is a fight you cannot win, ive been here since August '06 and you joined what? Two? Three months ago? if that. Quote this if you want and throw in the last word, but i'd rather you find me on the irc :] --------------------  Halo 3 - General Grade 3 ~ CoD4 - 10th Prestige 55 ~ MW2 - 9th Prestige 50 Joined WG 8th August 2006 - Im old School son | ||||||||

| IRC Nickname: Sativas Group: Elite Guardian Posts: 2255 Member No.: 1305 Joined: August 29, 2008 Total Events Attended: 155 | I know nothing about leadership, when I was a leader long before 2006? Either way it wouldn't matter how much I did know about the current leadership of the clan. The fact is I can give my opinion weither you like it or you dont. during the time Dorcha was a council member it seems to have been running a lot smoother then it is now? Im not saying this is entirely due to her, im saying she was in a council position when WG was at the top of its game, hence the experience that no other council applicant here can give without being a previous council. And when did I claim to know more about WG's history then yourself? Even if I were to know more about WG's history then you, it wouldn't change what WG needs to improve on today. As for me quoting you if I want the last word? Thats pretty hypocritical since your the one quoting me saying your having the last word.
