Eerie Wind Kunoichi I would also like to know the answer to that question! Because I need to look at the archives. Iri's info has been deleted from my computer, so I need to get a hold of her profile and copy the missing info into her current profile. There was a reason, but I don't know what that reason was. Anyway, we'll change that up. You should be able to look into the archives in the near future. Just keep checking.

So if you don't know I am planning a new Ban Policy, where I will set up dates near the middle of the month to check the activity of people in the guild.
Essentially, if you haven't posted anything by that date, you will be banned.
You're welcome to rejoin, but banned none the less.
I am considering warnings, but this first date is July 11th. Anyone that hasn't posted in the MAIN DOJO, From Today, June 20th until July 11th, will be banned.
I'm working on a MASS PM system as well, that will need to involvement of all the Crew members.
_____________________
June 30th - July 8th I will be in Germany

If you have questions or concerns, post them here.

What's all this about moving back to the forums?
Unless they've revised the rules they had a while back, which is very possible, (Although it irritates me to no extent) they'll close the thread if we RP in it, because we have a guild that uses the guild system.
If anyone didn't know, or has forgotten, we only used the guild system for events, mostly, and even then it didn't get used all that often. We focused all of our RP into the GNA thread in Barton Town Forums. One day, we find our thread locked and archived, and through many deliberations with several Mods, find out it's because there was a guild with the same name (Our Guild), and having an RP thread in the Forums mimicking that guild was not permitted.
And with that said, I don't understand why we would want to move back to the forums, having established ourselves here. I -do- understand that it would concentrate the RP we have, and allow new members to easily come in, but the system we have in place now seems to work brilliantly, we just need to populate it.
If that's the motive behind moving, (to recruit members easily) then I suggest that we don't put all our cookies into one jar, so to speak, because moving back to the guild if they close the thread is a headache that most new members wouldn't bother to deal with. We should still focus the RP into the guild, but have runoff or something go to the forums to attract fresh blood. And even with that, we risk diluting our already thin membership/activity even more.

The kind of insight I needed. It was precisely for that purpose, a secondary form a recruitment. I was discussing with Tier that it wouldn't be the GNA in itself. Something more like, a blank field, a dojo clearing, basically the step before the GNA. We would use it to invite people into the guild rather than just advertising and waiting for join requests. The plan (and plot) are still being worked out.

Yeah, I gotta say, when I saw the "GNA might move back to the forums" thing, it was a WTF moment. The idea of making a thread in the forums to start people out in is awesome. Really like that idea. But I don't think I would stick around if the GNA went back to being a thread. There's just too much that can and most likely will go wrong. Such as the problems Nek just illustrated for us. Besides, the guild makes it so much easier to keep things organized. For the whole guild to go back to being a forum, like in the old days of Gaia, would be a downgrade of epic proportions.

Provided the old one was taken down.

TIER'S DECISION IS SPLIT. PM system: On one point, sending mass PM's shouldn't be a problem in the guild since we have crew members to carry it out.
(Even though there's only a set amount of PMs you can sent out all at once. Like 8.) We can still assign each crew member a set of 8 members to send the mass PM to each time there's an announcement.
Forum change: Tier thinks we should and shouldn't go to the forums. Tier doesn't really care about what the mods think on this, even if we have a guild set up. Who gives a FK anymore.
The point is, Tier would want to have a forum for the reason that it might attract other RPers. But at the same time, it can attract N00BS and the ones who don't want to particularly be taught how to RP in a non-f*****t fashion.
SO TIER DOESN'T KNOW FERGHJL;['POJUHGDRSF

Thinking about the forum thread. I think it could be a good idea cause it could be like a first step for new rpers coming to the guild. We could actually be able to know what will be coming into the guild and be able to separate out the people who actually want to be a part of the guild from those who just want to be here cause OMFG ITS LIKE NINJAS!!!! I hate people who come in here cause they wanna be naruto or something.
But then again, it could take away from the guild... Unless we just ran it to recruit people i can see that we would get a lot of stupid people... It could go very wrong or work out. Id like to see what we could do with both a forum and the guild.

Once again, I just can't see the guild converting into nothing but a forum. The idea, though full of good intentions, probably would not work out for the best. Our safest bet really is to stick with the guild as it is.
However, I'm not object to an RP thread dedicated to recruitment, either. I would think of doing something like this:
Thread Name: GNA Recruitment Center (just an off the top of the head thing)
Content: Many members of the GNA are capable of producing clones, correct? And we also have the members that have been around for a while, but don't have much to do, correct? Let's send those clones and the members lacking a purpose to the thread and allow them to set up a new environment. It will have it's own story line even. People show up. In character, they are proving that they can take the pressure of becoming a capable nin. Out of character is a little different. Some people will need to learn a little about RPing, and those not willing to learn will not be "recruited" (in other words, will not receive an invite to the actual guild, which will weed out the n00bs we all wish to avoid). Those who don't need RPing advice and/or show improvement in their RP abilities receive an invitation to the guild. Both in and out of character, it's a way to test people and allow people to get a feel for the guild before they even join.
Well? How's that sound?

That's good, but I'm not so sure.
This is Kaimen, if you haven't noticed a trend yet.
The idea behind it, being a recruitment thread yes, that works. We need to make a new recruitment thread anyway. So, my thing is, will we RP in that thread, or make an actual new one, and how does the Title conflict with the Rules?
If anything, we can, RP in the Recruitment thread that needs to be remade for the GNA, and use that. Perhaps even advertise it and all that jazz. Ya'know?
Storylines being themselves and everything fine and dandy don't need to stray too far from the GNA, as is. It may also even add a little more color seeing as how all of our members aren't actively role playing with Everyone yet. I (as Kaimen) have yet to have a meaningful dialogue with Ishira, or at least one where we aren't ready to kill each other in a blink.
Which I am resolving. But when I leave for Germany things might...die for those few days, as I am using A LOT, of mules to keep this place alive.
So my next question is, who do I put in charge to over see this?

If you're going to be gone only a week, then there's only so much you will miss with this inactivity.
The guild itself should be in charge of keeping things alive.
Tier doesn't know what's going to happen with the other thread idea, if that's what you meant by in charge.

2) On the second line of bold text, I agree with Tier. Nobody should be in charge just to keep the guild running. Yes, there are captains, vice captains, and crew members that are meant to keep guilds running. But really, responsibilities of the guild should fall on everyone, not just the crew. So don't worry about it, Kai. Whatever it is you're up to in Germany, just chill and concentrate on that.
