  • Ensure that the people you recruit are
    interested in the subject(s) of the guild.

  • Use the Gaia search option to try to find people who are
    interested in fantasy & other subjects that we deal with.

  • Make notes on who has recruited who.

  • Keep track of members. Some change their names around
    and then don't tell anyone what their UN was previously.

  • Please use a banner in your signature if you can.

Standard PMs

The information in brackets should be added or deleted accordingly. If someone has posted only a few times or less since joining a some time ago,
please use the relevant additions provided or put them into your own words if you prefer - but keep to this tone and these guidelines.


Standard PM to Inactive Members
We've noticed that you haven't (really) been taking part in the guild (at all) since you joined some time ago. We need members to be active in the guild when they're online, otherwise there's little point in you being a member.

If you're truly interested in the subject areas we provide: fantasy, history, RPGs/fantasy videogames, role-playing, writing and anime, then we're a bit disappointed that you're not taking part. You don't have to be interested in every area of the guild, but activity is required in at least two to three areas besides the general subforums (tavern, marketplace & role-playing hall).

We DO want you in the guild, but if you have no intention of participating frequently or on your own regular basis then let us know if you're going to be leaving or wish to leave so someone can cancel your membership. Otherwise, let us know that you do intend to stay in the guild and will be taking part in the near future.

(If we don't hear anything from you, we'll send you another PM later on. In the case of not hearing from you if you have been signing into Gaia regularly after three PMs from us, you will be banned. We believe this is fair practice, though if you have any suggestions we'll take them on board).

Thank you for your time and we hope to see you in the guild.

Standard PM to New Members
Hello. Just wanted to say welcome to IMAGINE - The Fantasy Guild. Hope you like it and that you can find plenty to do and say. If there's a topic you want to discuss that we don't have already, you're free to start one yourself.

We ask that members be active whenever they are on Gaia. We have problems with users who join and are then never active. If you are going away for a while, there's a "going away" thread that you can post in. If you could make use of as many areas of the guild as possible, that would be fantastic.

If you have any suggestions, please make them known on the designated thread we have in the Lobby. Look forward to seeing you there.

Guild Invite PMs
Here is a standard PM for you to send out to people
Reasons for why this is here are listed below


Guild Invite PM
Hello.
You have been invited to the Medieval-Renaissance Fantasy Guild because your interests fit in with the guild's meaning and purpose. After searching
on Gaia's community, we found you and selected you because some if not all of your interests relate to the subjects we deal with in small or exaggerated ways.

The guild currently has on offer: a tavern (for general chat), a museum (for historical discussions), a fantasy conference (for any and all talk on the fantasy genre), a role-playing hall, a marketplace (where contests are advertised and held, and where there are also a few stores - hopefully more in the future), a storeroom for retired and archive threads, a games room, a film & anime lounge, a writer's circle for the literary-minded people and aspiring authors, and a library for you to discuss your favourite books/authors.

There are also jobs available, and not all of them require you to be crew. The management and maintenance roles require you to be crew, so if you want to be any of those you'll need to prove yourself with being active in as many areas of the guild as you can as well as your favourite one(s).

We encourage people to be active. We don't like users who accept invites, or who place a join request and then never turn up and be active in the guild within weeks/months of joining. It's really frustrating and it means we have to chase people and/or ban them.

For more information, please feel free to PM me or the guild's Captain. Otherwise, please click on the banner below, have a look at the guild and submit a join request if you're interested. Hope to see you there.

Thanks for inviting me, Avalsidal!
I have invited Mrs. Haldir, Haldir Edhel, Mirkwood Archer, Lohengryn, Arwen_Evenstar07... but just as a comment on their profiles. I don't know how to oficially invite someone.
Oh and I have a banner linked to this guild!
PostPosted: Fri Jul 27, 2007 9:19 pm


No problem =D Not a problem at all.
I invited a friend-of-a-friend of Eyalan's, galadrial lady of light. I figure she'll like the role play if she should choose to join.
Also, after half an hour of doing more friend-of-friends things, starting with one of my friends, and going through many many profiles, I found Fire of the Dragon to invite. She won't see the invitation for close to a week due to vacationing, but I have to invite her now before I forget. xP Saw one other person, but they didn't seem to like fantasy enough to join a guild of the subject, they just had the word briefly mentioned in their interests. Didn't think they'd be active or anything.

Remember guys, in recruitment, chasing people up who aren't using the guild is essential as well. If people haven't been online, that's not an issue, but if users are online regularly and aren't bothering with the guild, they need to be informed. There's not really any point in them being members if they don't intend to show up and post sometimes.

Since the Gaia admin have neglected to give its millions of members a function that allows them to PM only guild members, I propose to get the chasers to split up the pages of members they deal with. For example: chaser (A) PMs people in pages 1-3, chaser (B) deals with pages 4-6, and as the list grows (as it has and should continue to do so), chaser (C) will take on 7, and when they arrive, 8 and 9.

Now where are the recruiters and chasers? Hello! Over here!

Yup I'm here!
Unfortunately the link I put on my friends' profiles don't seem to work. Not a very good start I suppose... And why is the entrance fee 50g anyway?

It's better than 100, 200, or 500 if not more isn't it? Also edges the guild account up a little bit so that when the Gaia admin decide they want to add to the GGN (and they'd better), we'll have some gold to do stuff with. It's not a high fee, and people seem more interested in joining when it's lower rather than higher.

I'm looking for people to help get more activity in a couple of the other subforums like the EFD and Writer's Circle. I also think the Film and Anime Lounge is being neglected a bit too. Ideally I'd like people to post in most areas of the guild and not just one. The role-players are just sticking to the RP Hall at the moment really, and I want them to use the other areas of the guild as well. RP guilds are just for RP, whereas this guild is not primarily RP, it's an all-round fantasy guild.

Hello guys? Just because I'm not on as much while Amanda's staying with me, it doesn't mean everything should just cease. sad

It seems like everything's gone silent, and it was me that last posted five days ago.

Currently it seems like I'm the one doing the recruiter's and chaser's jobs. Dragoon_Arcadia is excluded from this as she's been at mine for the past 10 days and is now on her way home.

The following are fairly new members, their PMs should be welcoming.


Legadored
Viralyn87
Ishbeil
Calimouse
The Egyptian Dragon
rusted gate
aura2007

Find the standard messages in the first post. All PMs should be pleasant and NOT forceful. Be neutral but not unfriendly. If you PM people having a go at them for not posting, chances are they'll not take it very well and end up leaving.

Chasers: You took on these jobs, so it's up to you to do them. This thread is to keep updates on what's going on with recruitment and chasing up members who aren't active. PMing inactive people is essential because there is no point in them being members if they are not going to be active. Always check when a person has last been active on Gaia, because if they have not signed on there are reasons why not and these must be taken into consideration. If they are online regularly, however, then I don't see a reason for them to be continually inactive.

Bear this in mind please. The standard messages are a guide for you, and do put them into your own words if need be, just remember to be neutral and not forceful.
