Welcome to Gaia! ::

Xfactor, I'm going to use you as an example but rest assured you're not the only one who's mentioned this to me,
this is the reason this is public
what we talked about in PMs stays there

So, some people feel left out because there's nothing in the community for them to do, to feel apart of it.

My response is this, do something about it.
There are hundreds of guilds out there to compete in, not up to roleplaying?
Do a radio show, goodness knows there's none playing right now
Do a youtube video, make your own prediction show
Recruit more people and train them, or get some of the people in the Real guilds and try and convince them to come.
Teach them our ways, let them teach you their ways, work with them

What's stopping YOU from getting up and doing something?
I'm certainly not smacking your wrist and going 'No'
You want to make your own guild, go right the ******** ahead.

Make promos, do segments, write stories..
Do what you've got to do

Got an idea? Do it or share it
If no one's responsive to the idea, ******** do that s**t anyways or alter it to where people are interested.

But don't be a b***h about something and go 'I'm doing this because I've got nothing.' There's always ******** something.
It shouldn't matter if 'I've done everything' because so ******** what, do your own thing.
If it's a different version of something someone else did, oh well

Landry did the G-Cup, I did the D-Cup, PF did the V-Cup
Marxx did a radio show, Hiro did one, Salem did one
Landry did a youtube show, so did Nuke
I did a twitter and facebook accounts for my characters, so did others
There were several who did fan fictions

There were X-men Rps, Power ranger stuff, etc, even talk of gundam and DBZ

What I'm saying is this, don't contribute to the problem by limiting yourselves to one guild or two, (if that's all you can muster activity wise fine, I get that) but when you b***h about how you want to be more involved that's a problem..
Be the solution, contribute more, do more.

You do not need my approval to do something
I am not the go to guy for the community
Yes, I complain, and b***h and most of the time it's for good reason

Such as the too many guilds thing, community isn't big enough nor is the activity huge enough to accommodate that.
Didn't stop people from opening guilds did it? Nope

I don't want to here a 'Woe is me, Chrono doesn't like me waaahh or Chrono doesn't like my ideas guess I can't do them.'

I only control what's in MY guild, and how I run it.
You want to do a storyline where you rape a child, go ahead just not in MY guild.
and subsequently WWFG, however ultimately everything is up to Jed.
I run his guild yes, but he can change that in an instant

If I don't want you in my guild, I am NOT obligated to allow you into it, nor should you make a big deal that you're not invited into it.
Deal with it and move on, plenty of other places to be.

Nor are you obligated to allow me or my ideas into your guild.

Don't be the problem, be the solution
Maybe your idea is what sparks the life into the community that makes it flourish for years to come.

But you won't know if you don't speak the ******** up, and say something
Just ******** go for it...

Chrono's got a great point here. If someone doesn't have enough to do around here, they obviously aren't looking too hard. As far as guilds go, there's EWA, E:E (Hopefully!), F:G, BBW, FFA, LWL, PWS, and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few. I guarantee that there's no one here that's active in -all- of them. If you need more to do even in an RP sense, your options are far from limited. Hell, you could even have some bullshit storyline in Landry's Dream RP guild.

Personally, as a booker of a guild already, I know I'm more than willing to incorporate new members and storylines. I haven't met a booker that's thrown someone's idea aside without proper reason, and even then they typically try to help come up with a compromise instead.

But in essence, the real winner here is friendship. If we all keep in mind that we are in this community TOGETHER, we'll do more than we realize. I know Chrono's great at putting his grudges aside for others, I think we all can do the same. Except Freakshow.

Hell, I'm planning a tournament that will be nothing but beneficial for everyone involved.

Putting those skills to good use! We'll be expecting a proper pro production now though! blaugh

indeed

Speaking of which, there needs to be more PR stuff.

Needs more fanfiction.
