      IRC Nickname: DZ Group: Elite Guardian Posts: 2991 Member No.: 18 Joined: December 29, 2007 Total Events Attended: 238    | I want to see what you, the members of the clan feel about us re-joining the CWPL next season. The next season is said to being in "a couple of weeks most likely" and there will be changes, no idea what exactly they are yet.
So just let us know what you want us to do, rejoin or leave it. Try to give a reason why you make a selection, I hate just seeing a "Yes" or a "No" answer. -------------------- Now back to the good part! | ||||

Maybe. First off, we had like 3 fights where the rules were twisted away from our favour. We could do nothing but agree with the rules. Secondly, our activity was great at the begining of the CWPL, but it continously dropped as the season went on. Maybe it was too much for some people. I wouldnt make a decision until we see the degree of changes. I wouldnt really decide until I see what adjustments of rules are made, and how short the season is (less is better imo, >4 fights though) -------------------- bto  Ex-WG Warlord  "It is our direction, not our intentions, that lead us to our destinations." | ||||

 IRC Nickname: chip54321 Group: Emeritus Posts: 532 Member No.: 119 Joined: January 11, 2008 Total Events Attended: 197 | I like the wars every week, but it gets too hectic. I mean, the first 2 weeks we were all out pulling great numbers. But then people started caring less and less and eventually it became no big deal. Plus we actually had to slow down on wars for it to focus on the CWPL which actually got us kinda rusty. I'm gonna have to say no --------------------      | ||||

 IRC Nickname: Robertw56 Group: Guest Posts: 1908 Member No.: 15 Joined: December 29, 2007 Total Events Attended: 118 | It would be good to see us continue in the league, but I think we have other things to work on, like tanking/hybriding and activity ofcourse. Maybe we can join Season 3 when we are ready. --------------------    | ||||

 IRC Nickname: Pazenon Group: Emeritus Posts: 1477 Member No.: 33 Joined: December 30, 2007 Total Events Attended: 79 | Definitely yes. It gives our activity some sort of a boost (like it did in the first weeks of Season 1), added to the fact that CWPL wars are far more exciting and thrilling than any other sort of war. Even though we totally sucked last season, I enjoyed the wars we fought alongside each other. -------------------- | ||||

| IRC Nickname: Group: Guests Posts: Member No.: 0 Joined: January 1, 1970 Total Events Attended: 1 | After the past few wars i say no, we need to work on training more than anything. if we join, we risk having lower and lower turnouts and that would be a bad impact on the Clan's reputation having a member list like we do but pulling 40 people to a full out war where 4-5 weeks before we pulled 60-70.   ^ us before now ^   ^ us now ^ imo, we need ALOT more training events, a huge activity sweep and just BETTER TURNOUTS. -------------------- | ||||

 IRC Nickname: Karlfischer Group: Ex-Member Posts: 664 Member No.: 124 Joined: January 12, 2008 Total Events Attended: 55 | A big yes from me, I really enjoyed having the wars every week. So far CWPL is the most accurate ranking system, and for that reason I think opting out on CWPL would be a huge mistake if we want to gain any kind of attention in the RS clan world. That said, I think there are some stability issues we need to work on. Our focus over the past two months has been far too focused on warring, and meanwhile we have neglected other aspects of the clan, which unfortunately has cost us some very good members. The problem is that we treat CWPL wars like the kind of full our wars that we typically had only about one every month before CWPL. Before CWPL we would have enough of a break where people would be excited again once we had another full out and could easily deal with the lack of events and increased push to train that tends to come before major wars. Now we simply have no recovery time, and I think people just have gotten a bit tired. The effect of this is that we had good turn out rates in the beginning of the season, but as people became increasingly less excited about the wars our attendance dropped, which gives the impression that we are going into a slump. We need to treat CWPL more casually, and not let it distract from other events or functioning of the clan. The times of CWPL need to be switched up a bit aswell (maybe even have some friday and sunday) so that the same people do not always end up unable to attend, and it is less burdensome for those who feel pressure of being tied up at about the same time every Saturday. Basically what I am saying is that we need to worry less about our CWPL rank and our seemingly bad attendance, and just try to have fun with it. --------------------   | ||||

I like that they are changing around the rules and such. It's just a matter of if we will keep pulling 39 people to these wars... I will still attend if we do decide to continue. --------------------   Proud WG member from January 2006 - Fall 2009 | ||||

 IRC Nickname: Lefty Group: Emeritus Posts: 3340 Member No.: 1055 Joined: June 30, 2008 Total Events Attended: 211 | I personally say no. We need to ignore the CWPL for now and fix/work on all of the problems that we have been having lately. Get a better community, train all of our warring skills, and do an activity sweep to see exactly how many members deserve to be on the memberlist. Things need to clear up, before you can add more things that shade over the problems, or just make them worse. If this season is only going to be 4 weeks, then why not just sit it out, while we come back for season 3 blowing them all away? --------------------      | ||||

 IRC Nickname: immolatus2 Group: Guest Posts: 193 Member No.: 1100 Joined: July 5, 2008 Total Events Attended: 6 | my opinion is no... my answer is no... we need alot of traning... and i even need pratice... we should hold events where we just go to clan wars and just pratice on regular people... we can get better their and grow moral because we will own loads of people their... we are losing members and turn outs are getting worse... moral needs to be brought back to wg... so i say host events where we can go to clan wars and just fight random groups... pratice makes perfect, and just when the other clans thought they saw the last of wg we come back with such a vengence that we will be forever known in the rs world... immolatus2 p.s.i can prolly get a few of my combat lvls to 99 by then and thats a plus...  --------------------   | ||||

 IRC Nickname: Aardvark Group: Banned Posts: 759 Member No.: 322 Joined: March 13, 2008 Total Events Attended: 175 | I would like to see us stay in the league, but yes many things need change in this clan, mainly the strenghth of the community. Which will bring about many things needed for WG. When is the next season to begin? Guess i could check RSC but if its not too soon then we have time to sort many things that need to be sorted. The league does keep us in the public eye as well, this can be a great clan if we all work together as a team and every individual is respected as a fellow member. --------------------    | ||||

| IRC Nickname: Split 69 Group: Ex-Member Posts: 254 Member No.: 338 Joined: March 18, 2008 Total Events Attended: 0 | Yes, I would like to continue on with the season. I know we have some internal issues but a war once a week is good for practice since we are a community/warring clan. One-ish war event per week wouldn't hurt us but I don't think it should be our main focus. Obviously it should be the community problem we're experiencing but CWPL could be there to bring us together with a fun fight that will help out the entire clan with some good practice. Overall just enter to have a good and fun experience, not to take it to our primary focus. -------------------- "Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens." - Hendrix Proud Ex-Member of WG | ||||

 IRC Nickname: Trolls trolling trolls trolling trolls Group: Banned Posts: 2956 Member No.: 422 Joined: April 4, 2008 Total Events Attended: 130 | I believe that for this season we should drop out. I believe we need some times to train ourselves in the art of warfare, focusing in particular on tanking and hybriding. We also need to take some time off to reconsider tactics and how to run the wars. I would support us rejoining the CWPL for the third/fourth round IF at least 3 of the 4 following things come to pass - CWPL Rules regarding set rules for wars being made so that No infinity run, melee + binds only etc is made the 'STANDARD' unless both clans agree on changing them. - CWPL Wars are more evenly distributed. By that I mean instead of weekly they should be once every two or possibly three weeks. - Our tanking and hybriding VASTLY improves to a state where we'd have a good chance of winning most of our wars. - We could easily take on the challenge of the CWPL without putting our clan's community in jeapordy. ~Mugger84 -------------------- Mugger84 Member Of WG Since 4th April 2008.

as long as inf run is taken away im happy, if mage+range are the standard still so all styles is done more I am all for it. Melle+ binds just sucks and is boring as hell. Seriously, we should use all styles as an advantage and use it just cuz we can. It was the norm and is way funner than normal binds+melle. -------------------- | ||||

 IRC Nickname: Geofff Group: Clan Friend Posts: 1238 Member No.: 608 Joined: May 12, 2008 Total Events Attended: 96 | I think we should participate in the next cwpl season because as they said, they are shortening the season which will benefit alot of people because it was obvious that some got restless of warring every week. It will also give me and many other people good experience and a way to try out their new tanking skills from war practices mid week. I don't really mind if we win or lose. I find F2P wars with WG the most fun thing in rs to do  --------------------  | ||||
