Holy, schomloy, I wonder if I had anything to do with that...

I actually hope I did... Means the devs are looking at the place.

edit:seems it has been around a while, and I didn't know. That's what announcements are for, devs!

Here's hoping, Quint - if you did have something to do with it, I'd point the other finger at bron. He joined the Guild, but hasn't said anything; but who knows, he could be lurking here constantly. eek

On a completely unrelated note: someone in here probably recalls there being mention of a Shark Tank on the Forums, a while ago. Poor thing's not finished yet, but I got rather tired of working on him. Thoughts on where he should go? sweatdrop

That was the first time I saw it (yesterday).
Seriously red, how come don't you get more hits on DA? People STILL don't know you colored that Hive Queen either.

You should prance these kind of thing around in your signature for a bit. And shut up about not wanting at least some recognition for this. My girlfriend likes to draw stuff. She was completely unknown everywhere, and said she was okay with it. Until she got people actually watching her and getting recognized on conventions - I know what happiness is and that was it. Attention is good!
>Still wants a solar and lunar fluff

Oh oh oh... This makes me both a bit nervous about the screw up the MP will take, and deviously content at the same time, but I can be sincere with myself and admit it's only because I don't give a ******** about gold and such.

If you're out of the loop: Outfit Market and the reverse crash of the market place it is going to cause. What are your own thoughts on this?

Personally, I'm wondering if gaia isn't going to do that thing where gold gets too cheap and cash very expensive, only doing it by mistake and with good itentions (The OMP IS very convinient). Feels like the average user is going to lose purchasing power, to combat the trend we've seen since Booty Grab first got green coins.

Boss of the speed instance of SS. Was some war scrap sunk to the bottom of the ocean, with the brigade insignia of a shark branded on him. It chases after you with a mad fury which you must run from, until you can hide and let the slightly nearsighted beast pass you by. Then you must chase after it, but now it has run into Shallow Seas and is attacked by the various animated there - killing some of the important ones there and weakening itself to where you can take it on. It's still very dangerous, especially considering that it is running around the place and you have to split up...

I have a question which has probably been answered somewhere else, but I failed to find it. (And it's almost 1:30am, my grammar/spelling might be horrid.) I'll make edits in the morning (maybe) for clarification.

Why have this guild? I know that it's to kind of build off of and perhaps refine ideas for the bettering of zOMG, but that's about it. I understand that by posting in here, we basically have the zOMG Forums without all of the clutter (i.e. Can we sell rings on the MP?). However, by posting in here, don't the threads not get the exposure needed to actually make a difference with the game? It is this concept which I do not understand. Why post in here where the threads aren't seen by as many people?

(I'm aware that Bron is a part of the guild, but idk. The whole "lurking constantly" idea is a tough-sell for me. I acknowledge that it is possible though.) Also, if the Cure thing is attributed to Quinta's idea, congratulations. That's quite nice.

The cure power up wasn't my idea, I merely made the thread as a reminder. The devs came up with the powerup themselves, a long time ago, when revive was first released.

And that's part of why we can't know for sure if this place is getting exposure or not. Or at least exposure to developers. On the other hand, I believe that the idea was, foremost, getting exposure to people actually interested in this kind of stuff. On that account, you managed to answer yourself, the clutter of the z!F would tend to bury some of these suggestion and watch it go forgotten, so both exposure and the refining part would never never take place, special mention to the later.
But it's a sad matter of balance here. Personally, when I make a thread here, after a while I move it outside. I feel that, even if everyone that mattered was in this guild, people would still often forget it existed. Also, ideas in here do get buried too. I am aware that several people don't look past the "latest posts" feed whenever they go to guilds.

You make a point. I can argue the benefits of why having this guild, but, I can't really make a stand unless the guild has some degree of activity!
We'd have to make sure people would actually use the guild. I was thinking, maybe it would be about time we'd make guild announcements, recapping what happened the previous week. Many guilds/clans do that, on top of giving news about the game, and I find myself often finding out about stuff that way. That's how I found out cure was out in the fist place, and probably wouldn't otherwise, because the z!F seemed to completely ignore it after the release day. Announcements, are important in grabbing attention like that, specially, as you said, Bron IS part of the guild, and he WOULD see these announcements.
Maybe we could run no-reward contests as well, kind of like 'employee of the month' stuff. Every month, we come up with a category, let's say, "The best new Boss" or "Best Ring idea" and have everyone pick the contenders and voting. Something else to look at in the long run, with the purpose of making people look at what's happening inside.

Then would be the issue of recruitment. Personally, I always thought the guild doesn't need to actively recruit people, even though I did send a few invites here and there. Still it does need some degree of exposure, if the idea is to work.
Signatures are usually the best medium for spreading the word, but I wonder if those alone are effective.

You know what, if Red Kutai doesn't comment until tomorrow, I'm grabbing his Shark Tank concept, add the caption "******** YOUR FLYING SHARKS! ******** YOUR FLYING TANKS! I WIN!" to it and link the picture to the homepage. Then put all of that in my signature for a few months.

Also, we need to get some of the ideas here out there, maybe linking back in here. While the replies stating how they like an idea may seem pointless, I think they actually serve a purpose in the long run, and in here, the threads are just going to be stale, with probably nothing more to add, after they're done. Not much of a difference, but at least outside, more people know about it.
About time I move that loading screen tutorials one.

There's one last thing. Despite the usefulness of this guild or not there's one final detail that overules most arguments. Most of what this guild is come from the fun that is coming up with a concept, or seeing it used elsewhere, and figuring out if it would work on zOMG! or not. It's a guild for zOMG! suggestions and discussion, and it is at least doing half of its purpose as long as there are those happening inside. In a smaller group, the likelihood of someone thinking they have to note that "the dev team is too small for that" or another blatantly obvious obstacle, as well as the "good idea" replies, both decrease drastically, so we can just go on about our little fantasies and take some shared enjoyment from it.

Tl, Dr:
arrow Nah, it definitely serves a purpose and has a reason to be
arrow We should do something about it though
arrow Frying Pan rings are Fun

Tl;dr's aren't necessary in my case. I'll read everything regardless.

And thanks for answering my question. I was wondering that since the day I actually entered the guild.

Mmm. Those are good suggestions. The most crucial of which I believe is the idea of moving threads out to the main forum after being tweaked up and discussed.
