UPC Octavia
I don't know if any of you know anything about the UPC guild but I've been a moderator since a little after Easter when our Leader Peachy had to leave and she put several people in charge, and I admit I didn't really do anything aside from judge applicants for a long time but neither did anyone else and a month ago I decided to buck up and cleaned out super old threads started up a suggestion thread and have been just taking care of the guild's forums since no one was doing and mind no else is still doing besides me I'm doing a more then the other two mods and now.. the chick who was put in the captains chair is leaving now and what does she do???
she puts the two people who do absolutely nothing in charge!!???
I'm beginning to feel very ostracized in this guild..
and I'm thinking of just leaving it entirely but I don't think I'm going to do it until peachy comes back.. what do you guys think?
i'm not active in most of the other guilds i belong to but i think it's safe to say every guild goes through their rough patches. there's always bound to be a lull in activity because gaian life will take a backseat to real life when the latter gets a little hectic, and rightfully so.
taking into account my experience with the mod team in this guild, i can attest that it's not always gravy. we've had times when people don't see eye to eye and even moments when things get downright ugly. it happens, and i'm sure it'll happen again. but just as Dante said, when everyone's focused on what's best for the guild, people will put their egos and differences aside for the greater good.
i've been fortunate enough to have the chance to work with the team that i do and to contribute to the stories that we've had. i never volunteered to be a mod, but i was more than happy to accept the invitation because of how much i've enjoyed myself in this guild. being a moderator gives me the chance to give back and serve everyone else to my full capacity. being part of this team and helping to further Yoda-wan's legacy has been a great experience. it's not always easy, and i may have had my ups and downs but i have no regrets.
ideally, the outgoing captain would have put you in charge, since you're the one most qualified for the spot. but for reasons unknown, she went the other way. people are funny like that, but in the end her reasons aren't relevant anymore, are they? because all the things you've been doing wasn't to look good infront of people, or to gain the top spot among the mod team. focus on what you mod for, what the guild means to you and all the reasons you do what you do. usually, when one's heart is in the right place, one makes the right choice.
