To all that were called here:
This is a forum for discussion of all Quest Pool related business. This will serve both prior to, and long after the opening of the new quest pool as a common place to share ideas, and coordinate action.
That said, the first order of business that I would like to address is that of advertisement. If anyone wishes to create pictures or ads or the like, please do so. I will begin scouting for appropriate places for them to be posted, where they will be visible and welcome.
Once people know about the new quest pool, the task is to maintain funds, and to allocate them. I will be managing the gold directly with Sgt. Krynic, the Pool Mule. (hee hee! it rhymes..*ahem*) I need assitance in making the WCF aware of our presence, and in gathering the funds to distribute. Also, if anyone were to volunteer for a secretary position of sorts, that would record goings on, and report on them for the benefit/convenience of all, that would be most helpful.
Please post all comments, criticisms, and suggestions directly into this thread. We will deal with QP business here, in common, for fairness and posterity.
Thank you all, and let the QP be open at last!

Alli. I do understand exactly what you intend to accomplish in making a mule the primary poster. However, in all fairness, an avatar that is used consistently by someone in all of gaia rather than just the QP I believe would be more trustworthy on a number of levels, to any approaching questers. It's also a lot less impersonal.
Lady M..... you and I have plenty of forums in which to discuss this... need we another exclusively for us? I do not mind, and I have sweatdrop been away for about two days, and am therefore unsure what may have transpired in my absence, so I won't question your decision until I know more about the situation.....

Mahayr And thankfully, I have MSN here as well! My mindset is a bit off! I am having a hard time focusing on anything Gaia! Perhaps you can help me with that. What I want to do first is start the trades between Vaylle and Hand (now Sgt. Krynic. I will change the name and password for him today, then we can do that which will take a while. Then I want to explain the procedures i have been using to determine who is accepted to be sponsored as a quester and how I decide the division of funds for each one. This will require actual conversation... you know how I feel about writing and answering here! I also wish to discuss the roles between you and allii although that will naimly be just me asking you questions. My time schedule here for being on line may be erratic, but I have rested up and that will just depend on what we are doing and when I am free (when Sqarr is busy with something else, for example). alliisara *nod* All right. I think one of my common screennames I previously registered with MSN with, but forgot the password, so I'll get "alliisara" (hopefully, I doubt it will already be taken). And then we can talk. Edit: I'm now alliisara@hotmail.com, and on MSN. But I won't actually be online with it unless I'm asked to get on so we can talk. So let me know when to get on, and we can finally chat. Mahayr Added. I have also pretty much transferred everything to the Sarge. Perhaps we will all be on at the same time later tonight. Mahayr My schedule seems to be working out to be... on in the mornings for about an hour or two... anywhere between 9 and 12. On in the afternoons/evenings sometime between 4 and 7. On in the night if I can keep my eyes open (failure so far) anytime after 10. The trades are completed. Yes we may certainly schedule a meeting. I believe for allii it will have to be evenings or nights. Gosh there is so much more to explain! But it is mainly things about how I have been doing things, and of course you may wish to do things differently. I will start a list and work on that, then you can just interject questions as we go, and we can talk faster on MSN when we are both on. You are a late sleeper in the mornings YES YOU ARE!!! Hahahahaha. The journal or here... whichever you decide. I haven't changed the password yet. I think I will not. I think I changed my mind entirely. Tata now... see you soon. Hehehehehehehe!!! JUST KIDDING!I will change and message. But I am still deciding which of the larger items I am going to send, as they all came from the foundation. I will definately send some, and the explanations for division of funds when they sell is key to the success of the Pool, in my humble opinion. At the moment... we need QUESTERS! And I need to explain in more detail Nolah's quest progress and how we do such huge ones.

Doleon Mahayr alliisara Hm... names... Quote: I'd think that a generic, descriptive name would be good for this. Like "WWCCF Quest Pool" (with an & if those are allowed in usernames). If you really want a real name, I could draw out of my old story stocks... I really liked Kynreic, I doubt that's in use. =P I have a few others, too. An inside joke type name would be nice, but that would require thinking, and seriously slow down the process of the hand-over. & are allowed, but I would rather see a real name, capitalized. Male. Other than those preferences... it will be up to Doleon for a final decision, with your input of course. Quote: Personally, I'd like Mahayr to stay loosely involved, but she may have to pull out completely for a month or so to make sure we get used to running it without her. So then she could give us advice at times, but we wouldn't expect/depend on it nor act on it if we disagreed. Which, I should point out, may happen. Just so you know in advance, Mahayr. Yes, I know, but Doleon will be the final authority. The Pool will be under his direct control, with you as his assistant, and anyone else he chooses to help, with whatever limits he sets for them. I am happy to assist, always. And will do my very best to make sure you undestand everything involved before taking a backseat. Quote: And we should at least be well on our way to setting it up before she leaves, just to be sure that it doesn't die with her not being here to prod it. Oh I am sure it would not die without me. I am not leaving... just trying to reduce my responsibilities and lighten my load. I would still like to be involved on some level. One thing we could consider is leaving it in the Guild, and my making Doleon a Crew Member so he could edit things at will. I trust him (and you as well) completely in this, and would have no concerns or worries about that. It might be the best thing to do, actually. Ook. Crewness. eek Yes, I think keeping it in the guild would be a really good idea. That way, all the guild stuff would remain consolidated in url, if not control. I would gladly welcome your input, Mahayr, and I understand your attachment. Truth be told, I would rather have you hang on as long as you feel it is necessary, so that I will know by the time you relenquish it as much as you ever intend to that I know what I'm doing. Alli, if Kynreic is a male name in your conception, and Mahayr doesn't have any heartburn, then I am pretty ambivalent. This is pending that by a "real name" Mahayr meant simply "not an abbreviation of title." Otherwise, if she actually meant a name as in something you would call your child if you didn't want to traumatize it from a young age, then a foreign word or something from babynames.com I believe is in order. I can make posters for donation advertising to put wherever we are allowed and get the word out. Anyone that wishes to assist in that is more than welcome to. The mule will need to be stabilized before that happens though. As soon as you are ready Mahayr, it would be great if you would begin to lay down in this forum (or elsewhere I suppose, but for efficency) everything you need us to know. I am very well aware that I ask no small task. sweatdrop Mahayr I rarely go with any common name... I make all of mine up. However it is really up to you. I like odd names so my suggestions would be difficult to decide, I am sure. Lately I have been fond of state and country names, and those are not made up... like Brazil, Texas, Houston. Hahaha. I do like Kynreic, though. I also like military names or terms or ranks for mules with responsibilities, such as our Major Domo for the Foundation. Sarge is a good strong name, while aslo being a friendly term. Foreign words are always good... I like Sarge! Heh. I feel very comfortable with working with you both, and will hang on for a while, but would also like to make you a Crew person. I may have other things you could help me with as well. When you are more familiar you will not need to bounce everything off me before making a decision. We can consult when we need to. I am never one to undermine a man's position or authority anyway. I think we would be able to work things out very well. No, it is no small task, but I will work on it a bit every day that I can. This timing is rather inconvenient, with me going on this trip for so long, but I will be on, just not as much each day. Mostly at night... well maybe not. Hahaha! I will start transferring everything by Thursday or so, my sisters are very demanding and a strain on my serenity. They are loud and obnoxious, pot heads, and part of my trip is to help my youngest with some major problems. Major. Problems. This will make me upset, nervous, and touchy. So be prepared to cheer me up! As if you don't already! Posters are always good. And so... we begin the Bequine. (sp) p/s I am a tad obsessive compulsive. If you mess up my coding you will be in Big Trouble. alliisara Aw, poor Mahayr. Much love to you. *hugs* Yush, I like Kynreic. xd The character as well as the name... I came up with the name first, and when the character popped up it fit him. He was a cute little blue dragon, too young to have his wings yet... But still rather wise, as "young" for a dragon meant four hundred years old. =P He was about as big as a medium-sized dog. Heh, not like you care that much, it just amuses me to remember, since I haven't used him in several years... ^^ So I like that. Although it will feel weird putting it up to be used for a mule for the QP. Not that I mind, I mean, I suggested it after all. Oooh, posters. I will advertise! Not that I spend all that much time wandering Gaia. Although I am considering starting an on-and-off long-term-ish mix avatar and writing contest, with some pondering as to whether to advertise in both of the relavent forums. Although the avatar folks are apparently terrified of anything involving writing, as I have discovered. Oh well, all the more gold for the writers! Doleon Sergeant Kynreic, anyone? Heheh. I dunno, I guess Hand' 's current rank is only steward, but y'know... (I like Austin...><) Yeah, work as much or as little as you can, we can be patient. Once you're ready, methinks you should change the pass and pm it to us, for the mule. I'll see what I can do about artworkish stuff. Mahayr Doleon Okay, it'll be Krynic, and the rank in the HQ ought to be changed to Sargeant. He can be addressed as either. So Srgnt. Krynic? Drats I have to go check the proper word. I know Major is Maj. Drats. To be continued. Maybe we can actually make some headway over the next few weeks while I am here! EDIT: Sgt. Krynic The one I am handing over is Hand`, so I will start sending trades, change the name, and all of that. I will leave the changing of the way he looks to Doleon. Mahayr alliisara The major benefit of the mule being "in charge" is that all people who are sharing control have the ability to update everything (so if one person disappears, it's not a problem), and also it makes change of control fairly easy. Both shops I manage have mules that made all the beginning posts. One of the threads originally belonged to someone else who kinda disappeared, but he gave us the password in case he got so busy that happened, and we've been able to continue without him. 3nodding (This would be the shop for which I made the holiday thread. *dies and falls over* For which I've finally finished basically (i.e., almost) all of the art.) Yes I understand the premise, I just don't like it, personally, for my doings. I prefer a real person be in charge. In our case, Sqarr and I both have the password, and so does Doleon. I am sure that is enough for now and it will be perfectly safe. Quote: Also, I would never leave without finishing all of my business, and if I died, Sqarr would see to things. Doleon Alli. I do understand exactly what you intend to accomplish in making a mule the primary poster. However, in all fairness, an avatar that is used consistently by someone in all of gaia rather than just the QP I believe would be more trustworthy on a number of levels, to any approaching questers. It's also a lot less impersonal. Exactly! Quote: Lady M..... you and I have plenty of forums in which to discuss this... need we another exclusively for us? I do not mind, and I have sweatdrop been away for about two days, and am therefore unsure what may have transpired in my absence, so I won't question your decision until I know more about the situation... Yes we do and no we do not. I think all of our wheres are sufficient, and recently I have visited about 20 threads and advertised. You might give some though to doing the same, but with less information, primarily focusing on the Pool and Guild. Nothing has really transpired other than my advertising, a few new Members to the Guild, and some very hopeful public relations! I do think chatting more in other wheres will be helful and have been doing that. We really want to attract as many as we can. No, our decisions are not yet concrete, and I have found myself with a lot more time on my hands than expected, but I think that will change once I get back to Georgia. I will need you both, and Folly if she comes on board as she initially was so bent on doing. We need to ask her again. kiss I cleaned up in here a bit, keeping all relevent posts. I will do the same in the others, and perhaps delete the redundant ones.
