How do you feel about the guild?
  The storyline just needs to pick up a bit more.
  The storyline is dull, we should just have a reset.
  Wishy Washy, we need a stat system or ranking system at least.
  The Captain REALLY sucks at her job, I demand a revote!
  The Crew could use some changes.
  I think the activity needs to pick up/we need more members.
  Everything will be great once the captain does everything she promised!
  None of the above [You’re crazy there must be SOMETHING]
  More than one of the above [Please comment with your choices]
  Other [Please comment with whatever it is you think]

Okay guys let’s get serious.

So I’ve been thinking/a member recently quit and got me thinking a bit more. So I decided it was opinion time. Everybody gets a say in this and honestly the results will have an effect, considering I’m pretty damn stubborn and strong in what I think/feel I suppose it’s time that we all sit down and have a nice long serious talk. So yes, believe or not your vote can have a big impact in what happens, these results I feel will really give everybody some perspective and all that.

Honestly I don’t judge and won’t be upset if you guys pick the worst of the worst, if I wanted to live in my fantasy rainbow land of ignoring problems I wouldn’t have some of those up there and just have stuff like “OMG I LOVE THE GUILD!<3” type stuff XD which you may notice I personally criticize the only completely positive answer. Why? Because nothing is perfect and I understand that so I’m willing to sit down and hear what everybody thinks, even if I don’t entirely like hearing it.

I’d love if people commented with their opinions as well as voting because you can be more detailed and it opens up discussion so we can actually talk and I can get a clearer idea of what it is members want. If you’re too worried about being bashed for your opinion (which honestly as long as you’re not being plain malicious, I doubt would happen), then please at least vote. As I said every vote can count.

Thanks guys!

Love you all~<3

P.S there were originally more choices with a little more detail but the poll apparently only allows ten.

Woohoo! First vote! Well, I think that we either need more members, or the pace needs to pick up. I know that many of us (including me sweatdrop ) Don't post everyday... but I think that even if we don't get a reply to our previous post, we still need to find a way to keep everything moving.... My opinion isn't very strong in this matter, but I would wish for the plot to move along faster.

I agree with Hexcat, a few more members would help, assuming they're moderately active and willing to rp properly. Once the storyline pics up, it would encourage activity amongst our current members, at least I hope. sweatdrop

gaia_angelleft cat_sweatdrop gaia_angelright I could be a bit more active myself and such but it can be a little difficult with where and what my character is as well as I'm not really participating in the Sin arc but that's ok gaia_angelleft cat_3nodding gaia_angelright I always log in often and check things to see if I need to post ect. and such but I think that a few more members would be a good thing for everyone gaia_angelleft cat_3nodding gaia_angelright

I am the same as Sakura at the moment, just logging in to see if I need to post mostly. If someone needs to talk to my character or whatever.

I am trying to keep Sun out of the arc for the moment. This is just because I seem to pull everyone into one large group when I want characters to be interacting with others more, and I've seen people interacting a lot more with the start of this new arc so I feel I don't need to be posting quite as much.
(you guys know by now I give good reasons for my characters being away for ages lol)

Ok so more on the subject of the votes...
I think the arc is moving as fast as it possibly can right now with everyone being either back in school or having other things taking up their time. Nyx and Aero you have both done a great job keeping the arc and guild moving very smoothely, I can only say sorry i've not been here to help much.

As for new members...
I am seeing more people being active and getting involved than in the past, where it seemed like only the captains and Espada wanted to be involved in anything to do with a storyline or working to help their side. While the vice-captains and lower were off doing their own thing a lot of the time and not even being effected by anything else going on in the area were they were posting.
Now i'm not saying new members wouldnt be good ofcourse, but we need people willing to get involved or at least show how the current storyline is helping or causing problems for their characters regardless of their rank.

Well Sun, first off thank you for saying I've done a good job along with our Overlord Miss Nyxypoo razz

anyways, I agree with you Sun, the Sin Arc, is moving as fast as possible and will pick up again once the others who have created The Four Horseman characters have finished or are nearly finished. I'm in constant contact with Heather and she is telling me she is almost finished with her Horseman profile. Anyways, as I have stated before, this Arc has been running through my head for years, back when I created my character Aero, but you see, my character Aero was never what he is today. Aero, was one of the supporting characters in my random books that I decided to write back when I was in Jr./Sr. High School.

Anyways, back to the matter at hand. I honestly believe that the guild is running about sub-par right now. We could be doing a whole lot better with activity wise. Though I am happy that there is a whole lot more interaction between the different characters. That was basically the main reason why I decided to come forth with the idea of this Arc. So that the Prestigious characters like the Captains and the Espada could interact with the Fraccion, Vice Captains, and the Seated Officers. Thats why I decided to put into effect an alliance within the RP between the Soul Society and Hueco Mundo. So that there would be a bigger party of rping going on between everyone. Thats why I brought in these new characters, the Sins and the Four Horseman. See I mainly got the idea to bring the Sins in from Axzaki, who has his own Bleach Guild and the Arc in his guild was based off the Seven Deadly Sins, just remained and all that bullshit. But the Four Horseman is here in Darkened Swords.

All I can say is, just continue on with the Arc, and yes we can try to speed things up a bit, but again I am trying to draw it out longer to give those who are still working on their Profiles for the Four Horsemen can finish.

Activity will pick up, just got to realize alot of you are in school, and the rest of us are old ******** that work and have other things to tend to. Like my Schizophrenia screws with me all the time, I work, I also have a wife and 2 girls (most of you already know all that... >.> <.< >.< <.>) So I usually only get on to check if there are new posts and then I just get off of gaia.

Anyways I talk to much >.>

I think all of us have the same thing in our minds, were all busy with our school/work/life, and we don't have as much time for the guild. Basically, from what I see it, the solution to this problems would be more members. When more members come in, it will most likely cause a chain reaction to have them role-playing, that means that will make the storyline, and arcs progress, and from there, it will be all good.

From what I remember, when this guild started, it was quite slow, but suddenly, people started joining and role-playing, giving us a successful guild at one point....till all that drama happened. ._. So, if I'm correct, more members is the solution. IF, and only if my assumptions is correct, which I'm not totally sure, the way to get more members is to have our guild spotlighted. To do this, we have to be constantly post. When this happens, our guild can rise to the first page of a "Bleach" tag maybe. And if it is in the first page, there's a higher chance someone may click the guild and join in.


So in a basic summary, to get more members, we have to role-play and post more. Other than that, everything seems fine.

As for the other options:

I don't think that we should do that "stat/ranking system" again because that could get out of hand.

I'm pretty sure it's mostly because we have our weekend role-players who only post if they're talked to,like me and most of you here.
We need more people to actively roleplay.The more people who join the active group the better.That's probably the only problem I see.Well,that and the fact that we need something for the weaker players.It's hard to roleplay when you're playing with a weaker character.

Kaw~ its been a while hasn't it. Well i guess the reason i haven't been active is school and well life be getting in the way and the lack of motivation to post is really what killing me, but i will try my best to be active once again, but then again the last time i post nobody really paid attention to it , just kind of brushed it off like it was never there, that another thing why i don't post. Kaw~

I have not postd in awhile mainly because no one has interacted with my character since i got back to the soul soceity in the sin arc which by the way good job mods i am enjoying it very much i have to thank you but what would really help is more people in it i have seen some people in it that should probably be posting in it like certain espadas or captains but of course that is my opinion and such

Wow... this is a liiiiiittle too nice XD Maybe though I'm slightly biased.
Anyways personally I've been busy with school (like far too busy half of my day is college level courses). And I recently discovered my laptop lost the document I was working on the Roll Call among other guild things in... so I'm slowly but surely rewriting everything I was getting ready for the guild. I apologize to everybody as a captain my efficiency is very low, but I promise even with how hectic my life is I am trying my best for the guild. Which is personally why my posting is down, hell I wasn't going to be part of RPing until I was done my to do list buuuuuut soooomebody dragged me in with no choice lol.

It seems a lot of people do agree that we may need more members and this can be both good and bad for the guild and i do have lot's of ways I planned on raising the member count of the guild BUT then I need all of my crew members working on keeping up to their responsibilities as crew. Part of the reason we lose activity/members is they wait too long for their profiles and applications among other things. I'm not blaming you guys as I could be doing better as well, but we will need to be able to support the responsibilities that come with more members.

Also Gummi thank you for adding your opinion in on a stats/ranking system. I appreciate you addressing another issue I was trying to bring up with the poll.

Anyways I'm busy for the daylight hours of today but I will be trying to redo all the progress I lost, once again apologies,

I also encourage everybody to keep discussing ideas and sharing opinions here, I like to see what everybody thinks and has to say, because it really does matter to me and helps me see where we need to go with the guild next.

"hell I wasn't going to be part of RPing until I was done my to do list buuuuuut soooomebody dragged me in with no choice lol."
^
That was totally me... XD anyways. I would also have to agree with Nyx on that Gummi, I totally forgot about the ranking system, even though I had my own idea running through my head at the time, now unfortunately I do not... So yeah, I'm out on that subject. But I will have to say......... Nothing, cuz at this point I am slightly drunk and I am high as a kite, not to mention very tired... so yeah.... This was totally a waste of time to type because I am typing for no reason apparently... >.> <.<

Yeah sheeesh Aero XD and you knew I was trying to keep my distance this time! So I blame you ;P

Good job Aero very well thought out XP just teasing, but if you happen to remember/have something to say please do share.

P.S
Dear Person who Voted me being a bad captain/revote
Thank you.
I was waiting for somebody to select that in all honesty and was surprised it didn't happen sooner.
Though there won't be a revote on Captaincy unless there is a larger interest than one person, if you would like to share your thoughts on why am doing badly at being captain and what I could do to improve for the time being I would like to hear your feedback (whether it's here or a PM).
If you choose to remain anonymous I completely understand as well.
Anyways thank you and have a nice day... or well night at this moment.
