      IRC Nickname: Snowzak Group: Emeritus Posts: 1193 Member No.: 5 Joined: December 26, 2007 Total Events Attended: 67    | As you probably know, we'll be operating a massive restructuration of WildGuard. Of course, we wouldn't want to rebuild a clan that you dislike. Tell us, what would you see in your ideal clan? Detach yourself from all the current systems we have at the moment, and just dream of your ideal clan. Be selfish, it's only a post, nobody will judge you concerning what you really want. I'll start. --- My ideal clan: 1) Has a very tight community - we have that already, and it's probably the most important element. 2) Is united in it's objectives - one of the reasons I don't like the sectors, it's better if we all have the same frame of mind. 3) I'll openly admit that Player-Killing would be the primary activity in the idea I have of my ideal clan. 4) Events not related to Player-Killing are still present in my ideal clan, quite frequently. 5) An ideal clan for me is also active in terms of events, but offers a harbour to Retired members (like an Emeritus rank for example) and a possibility to stay in contact for members who can't be in the clan due to inactivity (non Player-Killing events would be public). 6) If we rebuild WG, I'd like it to be rebuilt with a way more simplified structure, so that our members and applicants could easily find their way around the forums and the way the clan functions. Concretely it would mean less procedures, less ranks, less forums, less passwords etc... 7) Lastly, an ideal clan for me is also a clan that stays polite and respectful towards everybody even our enemies, to give a positive image of ourselves in the Clan Community. --- You don't have to follow any set form to give us your views, simply express yourself and we'll try to gather most of the elements you desire to rebuild an adapted clan. --------------------  London RL Meeting attendee - Paris RL meeting attendee Joined WG in October 2005 - Original DG - Ex-Raid Leader Proud Council Member from October 21st 2007 to May 19th 2008 | ||

 IRC Nickname: Kwaichi Group: Ex-Member Posts: 1827 Member No.: 65 Joined: December 31, 2007 Total Events Attended: 119 | An ideal clan  Have you ever see something perfect? i would seay a havent, but we can do our best and be nearer and nearer to the perfection. 1.) Perfect caln dont need horde of members, but clan need active members ( what is really hard in clan with all timezones) 2.) Winning events will help us to raise our morality so "Ne invoces expellere non possis " = never chellenge someone who you cant beat. If we cant beat someone lets invite some of ally calns to help us. RS is only a game, so dont take the wars so seriously. 3.) There should be some skillz f2p events too ( i know it is hard even to host some p2p skill event because of lack of attendants ) 4.) I wanna have more massive wars (not only minis, make some huge war 100 vs 100  ). We cant gat these opts, so ask another clans to help us.+ Snow´s 7) --------------------  | ||

 IRC Nickname: Pazenon Group: Emeritus Posts: 1477 Member No.: 33 Joined: December 30, 2007 Total Events Attended: 79 | Interesting. Personally, the ideal clan I want WG to be is a clan that mainly focuses on a tight community, where every member is in a position that puts him in a good relationship with every single other member, no matter their rank, their sector. Another thing I would like to change in my ideal clan is removing all the e-drama and the flaming wars we regularly have here. Obviously, warning levels and current punishments aren't working to stop those flaming wars and quarells. The solution? I have nothing to suggest. Probably assign one or two people who are responsible for stopping those fights and talking to both parties, getting them back to eachother on good terms. Another thing I agree on with you are sectors, it gives all members in a certain sector different opinions and points of views on general clan issues with other sectors, which basically divides the clan, causing nothing other than more disagreements that might cause tensions between clan members. About events. When will Jagex implement the new multi combat mini game? **** knows. When are they going to fix the game to suit clans? **** knows. What are we going to do until then? We know. We should make suggestions and say our ideas about a new event system that would be a cure to the new RS updates. Weekly clan wars events, for example, make sense since they repetitive event only repeats itself once a week, for each timezone that suits all members. Finally, I want my ideal clan to have stable ranks that do not change in system oftenly. Nobody likes twice a month changes in high leadership ranks, when the non-leadership ranks are totally forgotten about nor cared about. I want my ideal clan to have a fair, stable ranking system that suits everybody from Phase 2 Applicant, to Primary Leader. That was my bit  -------------------- | ||

 IRC Nickname: Gusmighster Group: Emeritus Posts: 1360 Member No.: 46 Joined: December 30, 2007 Total Events Attended: 67 | I love WG, everything about it except two things. The community is perfect, the members are amazing. Everything, basically, would be my dream clan. The two subjects I haven't reached is; PK'ing and our ability to pull opts. Pk'ing, yea. I know BH is long gone, but I will use it in my example. With Tri-force we get mullered by the big clans in F2P, let alone us on our own. We cannot compete with the big clans in the clan world, we just don't stand a chance. It's not PK'ing, but anyway, we are currently ranked somewhere in the 20s, to be honest, we deserve maybe spot 40? WG has always been a top warring clan, but now, we are as low as I've ever seen. I first joined, we pulled 60 vs RsHun Knights. Now that was more like it. 50 vs Mori, that was also quite impressive. But 30? That's just not up to standards. In my ideal clan we would be pulling the majority of our ML to wars and PKs. Prefferably competing with the top 15 warring clans. Activity. I think I basically covered that above, but in my opinion, we need to pull more options to more frequent events. We should be practising in clan wars with atleast 20 people, 2 or 3 times a week. ~Gus --------------------  | ||

 IRC Nickname: Mickey Group: Emeritus Posts: 5305 Member No.: 48 Joined: December 30, 2007 Total Events Attended: 282 | My WG would be like this 1) Balenced community, good realtions between fighters and skillers, none of this "our events are more important" nonsense. The community in WG is good, but community between the Runescape public and WG needs a little work. 2) Public events, It would be good if the public was more involved in WG events, for example, events which the public are welcome too. This will help WG gain more members through friendships which will have been made through this. It will also help us pull more opts to certain events and make us look better. 3) I would have to say this would be about ranks. Currently, I think there are way to many, make WG one hole clan would make ransk less confusing. 4) The Sectors: I personaly think the sectors have caused to much grief, one council member is always strained with one task from a single sector, before the sectors, all the council would combine their expertise and time to do something. I think the council deserve a break from pressure like this. I will add more later, this is just a rough copy of what I would lwish WG to be like. --------------------    | ||

 IRC Nickname: Tnuac Group: Emeritus Posts: 1806 Member No.: 51 Joined: December 30, 2007 Total Events Attended: 58 | Everyone will have very similar ideas. The commodities will all be the same, but with slight alterations in personal taste. An ideal WG is one with a diverse yet strong community. Events are abundant, with many people making effort to attend, yet enjoying them to the max all the while. No issues are left outstanding. When someone goes out of line, they are understood and sympathised with, before being calmed down and stopped. Wilderness organisation is excellent, and even with losses the clan will never be demoralised and keep urging to improve war technique. The name of WG is restored as a respectful and friendly clan with no enemies. The feel of ARPKing standard still remains even without the wilderness. -------------------- ~Aetas: carpe diem quam minimum credula postero~ "Seize the day and place no trust in tomorrow"  | ||

 IRC Nickname: Colin Group: Ex-Member Posts: 2039 Member No.: 68 Joined: December 31, 2007 Total Events Attended: 69 | Well, the WG I joined two years ago WAS the ideal clan for me, so I will just describe that. 1. PKing and warring all the time. Both F2P and P2P. I know PKing kinda got nuked by Jagex, but hey...we're talking about my ideal clan here. 2. A ton of people, yet still a very tight-knit community. Although less drama than the old WG would be good. 3. Emeritus rank. 4. No sectors. One united clan. 5. A shining beacon of a clan that stands at the forefront of honor, integrity, and morality in the face of the degrading clan world.. 6. Pulling 145 people to P2P wars again. 150 to F2P wars.  --------------------   Proud WG member from January 2006 - Fall 2009 | ||

 IRC Nickname: DZ Group: Elite Guardian Posts: 2991 Member No.: 18 Joined: December 29, 2007 Total Events Attended: 238 | My ideal clan would have members who WANT to fight for their clan and enjoy it. My ideal clan would have members who ENJOY doing laid back events, like castlewars, KQ, Godwars, agility arenas with each other. My ideal clan would have a pretty basic rank structure, which I won't get into now. My ideal clan would be respected in the community, as a clan who is not afraid of a challenge and one's who accept defeats and rarely insult. My ideal clan would have a very tight knit community - everyone knows everyone and everyone is friends with everyone. -------------------- Now back to the good part! | ||

 IRC Nickname: Maths Group: Ex-Member Posts: 1855 Member No.: 54 Joined: December 31, 2007 Total Events Attended: 286 | 1. A clan which is an active one in f2p + p2p. Not only in p2p, but is good at it, knows how to pk, and can actually win more fights than losing them. A clan which has pkri's as practice + leaves official wars for special occasions. I would love to see wg sift into the "pkri clans". However, we shall have to wait for future updates. I'd love to see half of the raids, etc, (clan wars arena) be held in p2p as well. 2. Members who uplift the community of wg. I'd want members who actually like attending skill events, instead of rocking up + not talking to anybody. 3. Active irc chat which stays on the topic of rs. We're an rs clan, I do not see the point of ex-members, community talking about wow all the time. Half of us can't even relate to that. 4. No community rank. Yes, epic, however look at us - 21 [c] elite guardians, 6 elite combined guardians, 3 [s] elite guardians. Pointless? Bring back the emeritus rank, give it only to the most trusted members. I know that you all want the wg community, however it is too large with community members just dropping in when they feel like it. I'd rather have a tight knit of friends, that I knew tons about, than a fleeting moment of conversation with a community member, every day or two. Community members have usually retired, so why can't they move on? You may say friends, however there is other chat methods, msn + other game chats (wow) being two methods. Wg might be about community, however, winning wars/pkri's brings people together 100 times more than a community member talking about wow. 5. Leadership who is as active as many of the members. A clan looks up to leadership. If we see they're rs active, this is a good sign. They have faith in wg. The leadership 1/2 months back was non-existant on rs for a long time. Like you may say "Oh, well as long as they can come on for wars, etc". No. I've seen clans which have active leadership. They respect it, the members then want to fight for their leaders. I would want council+ to focus primarily on playing rs. 6. A respected clan. Not only within itself, but from the clan community as a whole. --------------------  "Journeys are what brings us happiness, Not the destination." ~ Two time ex-raid leader of wg ~  | ||

 IRC Nickname: bto Group: Emeritus Posts: 3815 Member No.: 196 Joined: February 3, 2008 Total Events Attended: 332 | Fighting -Strong Fighting Clan - Having power through quality rather than quantity, -Active members - Members willing to participate because of loyalty and pride rather then considering events a chore -Victories and morale boosters - Its more fun to win. We dont need to be DF or EH or anything, but having hope will not only boost activity and morale, but make it a reason to attend -Practice - Too many members getting koed in wars Community - Stable and friendly community. Easy to talk to people - Less drama - Respect in clan world - No more sex talk. Sorry, but it's costed us alot - Stricter regulation of rules. If people keep getting off the hook, there is no reason to stop Recruitment - Change in mentality - Sure we'll get numbers, but will they stay? The videos of the past WG show how great we were. We need to prove to members that WG can suceed and its a place to stay. Our past recruitment videos have been based on a lie; does it really reflect WG? -------------------- bto  Ex-WG Warlord  "It is our direction, not our intentions, that lead us to our destinations." | ||

 IRC Nickname: Mr Glennfase Group: Emeritus Posts: 3064 Member No.: 39 Joined: December 30, 2007 Total Events Attended: 220 | An active, optimistic council and tertiaries who are easy to reach and always friendly. A fighting clan who also supports fun things such as boss monster trips. A place where each member has a voice, and is not used as some tool for fighting. A great community where people can get to know each other and bond on a daily basis. Easy to join and very welcoming to newcomers. Decent to good fighting squad compared to other clans. Rules that keep conversations tamed, but not totally restricted. -------------------- That's Mr. Glennfase to you. Ex-Warlord/Council  | ||

 IRC Nickname: Gibble00 Group: Emeritus Posts: 775 Member No.: 100 Joined: January 3, 2008 Total Events Attended: 9 | I'm not a fan of our sectors, but I've gone over that many a time. My ideal WG: Keeps supporting the Community members like me who can't help out in-game but are here to make the forums friendly .Manages to pull enough ops for raids and such. When I did raid, it was always frustrating with low numbers, so getting members to raids is a key. Allows for a mature community that people can have fun with. Get people on the forums, get em to post, and make them enjoy it. Realizes Runescape is just a game. Oh.. almost forgot.. most importantly: Holds fast to a strong council with high hopes for WG. --------------------  | ||
