Welcome to Gaia! ::

@ Jeddi
You're the only avid fisher in the clan, I think. Since it would take most of us too long to fish on our own, we fish together and pool our fish.

When I think of the word multimedia, I think audio stuff or television (like an entertainment center). If we are going by things that are writing, art, etc, it's more like a creative works subforum. Another problem was that I often confused it with the media subforum below it, because they sounded too similar in titles.

Maybe the Halloween event can coincide with Tony's Fanfiction? Maybe it's the anniversary of when the TROGK castle was attacked?


Just throwing that out there for roleplay ideas.




Theme. Hmmmmm : I
I can't think of a good thing right now.

; ~; but it's not a fanfic idea-----is it?

OH s**t it doubles as one!
Thank you Tony ^ ^






Well yeah. I agree with Tony, being on higher levels means we should be taken seriously.

I was asked to put my 2 cents in, and since I just got my paycheck, I think i can spare the change.

1) Apologies for not being around. I just havent been on gaia really, I needed a break and need(ed) (still kinda in the middle of it) to sort out my real life. The e-drama/complexity of gaia has taken away from its ability to be an escape and has become more of a responsibility, so in light of that current view, I have taken some personal time to collect my life so that something like this can be enjoyable again.

2) After having read everything listed here, I see something that I guess after having been gone, feels like a brick to the face.

Everyone is asking "what do we need? What is missing? What do people want?"

Aside from the general sentiments of "We just friggin need a better game that works" no one knows what they want, and usually once this is true, it stays true because its been true of all people all over the world. The fact that there are too many "what ifs" and too many possibilities, most of which we have no control over, I say abandon this angle for a time. Lets go to

What do we actually have that has worked so far? To you members who are the ones whove mastered the game or are pros, what has kept you playing so far? What has made the game enjoyable for you so far and kept you coming back? To be honest, the game itself for me has always been boring, and for me to get into MMO's in the first place was always tough, zOMG has been a whole new definition that....sadly Maple Story has seemed like a better MMO lately and that mmo is garbage on a plate. So if you could somehow expose me to what you do that has made it enjoyable for you, maybe me and others who have found the game fairly lackluster will see it as you do. I know for one, being alone does suck, and almost in a way, this game discourages huge teams because last I remember, too many people on a map means too many people in an area before screen switch, and everyone saps up the monsters and no one gains anything out of it, so I think this might be an inherent flaw in keeping the game low performance but....yeah...it comes at a cost.

So again, switch gears. We can go through a billion ideas and ask what can we do? But thats something for after a solid foundation has been asserted. What do we have that has kept us standing, and how can we become experts at it? All the biggest groups in the world started with what they did best naturally, and then perfected it. You can look all you want for raw diamonds, but usually its best to start with the unpolished on, bring that to a brilliance and then build off that. That will be our niche in the guild world, and everything else will be extra, and you can play with ideas then because right now, we cant even say "lets get back to basics" cause we have no basics, and that might very will be the root of our problem. Group dynamics arent forced or created, they are inspired.

*huggles Zenoxy* ^_^! Long time no see XD

Thing is i dont know the foundation. BUt there must be something, were still here.

We ARE a sitcom, damnit! Where are my cliche audience sounds?!?!? mad
You love me all to death, and you know it. If I take over the world, you all would be in my army. Buwahahahahaha ::coughingfits:: >_________<

In all seriousness here, Owa has a point. What really made us continue playing the game (for those that still play)? Beyond the game, what made you come to this particular clan in the first place? There is Knight, very similar than our clan, if not better. I think we're making this harder than it needs to be, and that's because of our lack of time schedules, communication and overall lack of participation when we do have events.

OK, not to throw everything else out the window, it's best to look back at what made this clan in the first place. I should know this, as I created it! XD What I originally had in mind, is a group of close friends helping each other with the game. In addition, partaking in events Gaia has created and making our own spin on them. Some of that we do now, but it can be refined to be better. It comes down to planning together and spreading the word out. And it's not even the fact that cabinet members don't talk to the members, as we hardly talk to each other over clan issues. If we do, it's one or two cabinet members. Something that I think ought to change. For myself, AIM is the best possible way to get quick and on-spot discussion. For most, it is through PMs and threads. And that is for a collective input at different times of the day (post now, think later and add-on or take off).

I have more to discuss, but I just had a brain fart. So, when I get back to my original thought, I'll expand. I'll also extend the meeting. It's not going to have an end date, so more can be added. Once everything is squared away, that is when it will close.

Problem with playing zOMG, is it lags way to much for me to really get the chance to play. It's like that with a few others as well. If I could play I would.

What keeps me here is the friends that I have made. Plus I have fun in the threads goofing around.
