      IRC Nickname: Gorgemaster Group: Elite Guardian Posts: 9840 Member No.: 3 Joined: December 26, 2007 Total Events Attended: 540    | So last night at 5pm EST/10pm GMT, we had our first of our Sunday weekly ts meetings. These will happen every week and the idea of them is to discuss issues that need to be discussed, problems, suggestions on events, clan ideas etc. Anything! Attendance:  Issues discussed last night: 1. Whizzy110's Suggestion: A Snipe Unit - The idea was that we compile a list of snipers, who will always/often snipe at wars. The snipers would HAVE to be high levelled, almost maxed out if not already maxed out. This is to ensure that we have the best team out there. The ideas of applications for this was discussed a little as well. The team would have their own TS channel, their own IRC Channel to ensure that they do not get mixed up with the main pile during wars. The idea of training sessions for the snipe team was also mentioned. The idea for a trainee squad was suggested by Yingyang06. The trainee squad would be a group of people who want to snipe, but do not yet meet the requirements, they would be trained by the snipe team. 2. New Additional ToG Time: Suggested by Winddancir. The new time, WOULD BE AN ADDITION to the current two ToG times (so NO CURRENT TIMES WILL BE CHANGED AT ALL!) The new time would be: 5pm PST/8pm EST on MONDAY evenings and this would be hosted by Winddancir. I put up a poll (Click HERE) to see who will attend if this is hosted, please vote carefully. 3. Pbplayer9's Suggestion: American Council/Council Activity Vince pointed out the lack of American Council, obviously there is not much to be done about this, because when the next council applications are held you can't stop non-Americans from applying  But what we said about Council Activity was relevant. We are extremely privileged to have our council. I'm not going to name any names, but they all do their bit for WG and by each having their different roles they create a very good support for Gene and for WG members, we should all be thankful for them. HOWEVER, some of the council have been kind of inactive recently, obviously school and work have started back up, people are busier, I understand that, of course I do, however coming online for wars alone is not enough and is really not acceptible (unless an inactivity post is posted- none have been). So please guys continue to do your jobs as well as you currently are, and keep active and we praise you for evermore k? 4. Havochaha's Suggestion: Clans to War - We talked about the idea of formulating a list of what clans we could fight that won't totally demolish us. Going to wars where we always get killed is demoralising (lowers morale in WG) and obviously sometimes it happens, we are not an incredible warring clan as I am sure you will agree. However practice will ensure that we get better and who better to practice on than clans who are the same or slightly worse than us? Omar is going to compile a list over the next few days. 5. Yingyang06's Point: Overall Attitude - Flaming has got to stop. There is going to be a zero-tolerance situation on any flaming. If you flame you can expect a minimum of a 20% warn, higher depending on the severity. WG is a family. We need to start acting like one. We need to start helping each other, advising each other, being there for each other. Things have started to improve, although there is room for improvement. I don't want to be giving out warnings for petty arguments, because quite frankly WG is beyond that. We are a great clan, let's strive to be better! Attend the next Weekly TS Meeting at 5pm EST/10pm GMT next Sunday if you have things to say. If you cannot be there ask me and I will bring up the point for you. ~George  --------------------    | ||||||||||

Keeping this as short as possible... For a council member I think your extremely inactive, im not trying to be rude but having a rank I think you should put 110% into the clan at all times and not playing another game. sorry if I come off like a asshole but im naming it like you asked. --------------------  The Ultimate Skilling and Combat Badges Updated June 17th, 2011        | ||||||||||

Ok ok, let's get one thing straight, I've come to a point in my RS career where I'm bored as shit of doing everything, skills are repetitive, bosses are too easy to kill, no skill required to play the game except P2P 1v1. So what I play another game, I still do my job on the forums and irc, mostly always on ts. W/e -------------------- | ||||||||||

Rob, i barely see you in IRC buddy, im not having a go or nothing, but even if you are playing another game, just sitting in the IRC will do. Atleast it shows your present. You dont have to talk. But it shows your active. Im not saying anything about what you do on the forums, because I dont know anything about that. -------------------- | ||||||||||

 IRC Nickname: Trolls trolling trolls trolling trolls Group: Banned Posts: 2956 Member No.: 422 Joined: April 4, 2008 Total Events Attended: 130 | I'll be taking a particular interest to suggestions  1 and 4. As for 1, I've always gone out to look for the highest leveled, most experienced members to snipe for wars, and often it's a scramble to scrape together 3 or 4 snipers at a short prep war. I'm sure that this idea could help all Fall In leaders greatly for when selecting snipers, and I think I might just make some form of topic to find out who is actually interested in sniping. EDIT: Topic made. Click Here for details.As for suggestion 4, A list would also be a great help for when members are in the mood for a short-prep war. Personally, I know a few clans who I'd generally go to for a short prep, however perhaps if others knew some that I didn't, it would be a great help for finding a war  If anyone wants to try making a list of good clans to war then go for it Good suggestions, everyone!

Oh sorry. Yeah essentially at the meeting the idea was brought up and then it was explained by the person who mentioned it. Then we had feedback from the people present, questions, agreement, disagreement and tried to work around disagreements. Although if you have any disagreements I don't mind if you post it here, since you weren't at the meeting  -------------------- | ||||||||||

| IRC Nickname: Rick Hamm Group: Ex-Member Posts: 573 Member No.: 1214 Joined: July 14, 2008 Total Events Attended: 6 | Well, I think splitting up into "units" is a very bad idea. I believe it was tried on more than one occassion and ended up dividing the clan. I don't think this "unit" should have its own TS or IRC either. I mean, if we have to divide that much just to win a war of pixelated characters, then what's this truly say about us...as people? This is a clan and we win or lose as a unit...ONE unit, fighting together. I can see this happening and I believe it's started already. "I'm the Sniper Unit and I kick ass, the rest of you suck." "OMG, I can't believe you didn't pick me to be in this unit, this is totally unfair and bias." "You're showing favoritism to the higher combat levels in the clan." I'm telling, no, warning you that this is going to cause more problems than it's really worth. -------------------- | ||||||||||

 IRC Nickname: Karlfischer Group: Ex-Member Posts: 664 Member No.: 124 Joined: January 12, 2008 Total Events Attended: 55 | Council members have real lives too, I really don´t think it is fair to tell them they should be more active. The work load and what is expected of a council member is not sustainable, and that is why our clan has such a high turnover rate for council members. WG members push them too hard until they break. --------------------   | ||||||||||

I agree with you Rick and I brought this up in the meeting as well. They seemed to not really see the whole bragging rights as a problem. Council does need to be active to make it a better clan. What happens at school when the teachers are gone from the room for long periods of time. Staff in general being around makes for a more friendly clan. Even staff have real lives that make activity difficult at times. I think we can all understand that. --------------------  Thank you Garrett and Dallar. “The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them.
