I was thinking that perhaps for new members and just everyone in general that, there should be a list of currently active plots. That way, if they want to join in on something, they can pick the most appropriate course of action. Ie: Asking if they can join certain plots, instead of just jumping in out of nowhere and getting yelled at. 3nodding

Okay I've fixed up the front page of the guild a bit, so we should have fewer trash apps.

Okay but now I'm looking to start the guild anew. Right now I'm deliberating a new name and what to make of the guild. Looking for something a little less bland than Black Company.

nooo TJ you cant change the name!

i personaly think you shouldnt change the name. i think if you do so, many members would leave, obviously because its no longer the black co. but, you are the leader. i saw, if you want to change the guild name, you should think about the aim of this guild. then you should think about a new name. well thats my thoughts anyway.

It'd probably be best to avoid breaking tradition. Seems this place has hordes of posts compared to everyone else out there. sweatdrop

Well,I was just looking around at overall. Finding literate people to RP with is hard. Unless you're looking for space RP's, there is some of those that are good around here.

9 handed the guild over to Twilight, so its his guild now. His call, though I hope he takes into consideration the member's feelings on the situation. 3nodding

Well if so many people want the name unchanged then they just need to say. It's not like I'm focused completely on the name. I'm just trying to revamp the guild a little more because the inactivity is my main concern.

As for 9.... I really don't think she cares. Least that's the impression she's given me.

i am quite sure that this has been said before, but a single main plot line, or at least a story now and then for people to participate in would be nice. as of now, we are all scattered across the far reaches of the BC universe. we got everyone with their own fortresses, citadels, forests, caves, mansions, and so on and so forth! what is missing i think is the good ol unity of the old guild, back before the GGN, when there was only one forum. the good guys and the badguys would live a sort of harmony with eachother, for a time at least. but since the revelation of a guild with many forums, everyone wants their own bits of everything. this caused peopel to try and create their own storylines in the guild and when no one came to them, they would leave, thinking that the guild was not very popular. i think that if we could at least bring some sort of unity back to it all and spread the word, people might start to come back. as it is though, everyone is going lone wolf and being too spread out. a team always fails when there is no teamwork right? right.

as for the name change. dont. the BC is a place that my role playing characters have come to call home. to change it would be like moving from a much loved place to an entirely new one. im not saying that i couldnt handle it, but that if we want the old glory of the place renewed, we shouldnt change the name. I think it is just fine. and besides, its hard to get a name that you can shorten and still have it real cool. i mean come on! The BC! thats awesome! well im outta this thread. gotta go pick up some...stuff...heh. bai bai!

Quite right, which is why I suggested a list of the main 2 or 3 plots so people could go there and get drawn into the story. 3nodding If they know what's going on, then its easier to get into things.

yes. that is probably another problem as to why people arent fond of coming here much. new people at least. they don have a clue as to what is going on in the story. if we could get some sort of breif (likely several pages) description of what all has happened in the BC so far (it would have to come from people like myself, TJ, and a few others) then that would help a bit too. Also, I don remember if we have one (and this is really stupid of me really) but a thread for character bios or stats or something would likely be useful. I often see new members not come back after being berrated about how they cant just assume that they can beat the super villains such as Mastema, Xol, and I. With accurate character bios that were updated every so often, everyone would be able to guage their character against others, hopefully so that people wont come in thinking to just blow everyone away just because they can. But I don know. Whatever works to get people back I'm all for. Cept for changin the name! o_o

sweatdrop Character stats, etc should be on the "PROFILE" page. Actuall I have to update mine today as Nana is now officially 3001. xd Happy activation day Nana!

Nana: sweatdrop Um, thank you.

Though I agree, the villain stats should be written down etc. New members should be made aware of the 3 on 1 rule, the lair rule, etc. There's lots to do.
