Meeting and more

2001-11-19 by Frank Sinatra

Last Sunday we had another Rl meeting in casa de Sinatra.

The turnout was about 20 members, and it was fun to see a few new faces.We discussed some current topics, but also spent a lot of time talking about Travis's Staff, Valena's uber sword, and Elvis and his black dyes :).

Recruitment

Our fears in the former meeting about expanding too fast very luckily was not fulfilled. We are quite satisfied with the flow of incoming members.

We will continue the 2 sponsors pr recruit as we have done so far. We know that ppl often wanna join in groups, but our main concern is to keep guild integrity and knowing each other in the guild is a must, even though it becomes harder and harder.

People need to be better at using this webpage for the sponsoring, so from now on the recruit period will be the one stated on the webpage. This should encourage the sponsors/recruit to get this rolling.

Rerolls

Rerolls are always welcome in sun, however we do have a problem in identifying recruits contra rerolls.

Our only solution to this is to stress that you need to have your reroll listed also on the member page.Grouping problems

It seems that our lvl 26-33 ppl have some problems finding groups and we discussed what to do about it. They fell behind in the first level train, and a new one is moving up now. We cannot as a whole do much about it except hope that they will jump on the "train" of people who are coming from the teens/low twenties right now. (if they cannot get up otherwise)Item distributing

Our highlevel members have a lot of very good stuff that we want to send down the ranks. In general the guild could be even better at distributing equipment down the levels.People are encouraged to post all their spare stuff on the tradeboard so members should be able to go there to get some good equip. Items will be free for guildmembers, and we will keep this system as long as its not being exploited.Trades

Doing crafting skills is known to be pretty repetitive and rather boring for most. We need more members who will go into a craft, and most important we need 3-4 siege crafters.We allocated 500 gold from the "guildbank" to these crafts if the money is needed.Raids

We had our first guild keep raid on Saturday.Many things we did right, but our organization needs some work, and the tactics regarding the archers on the walls needs to be looked at. But all in all we learned a lot in our 3 attempts, and it was good to see so many suns together.SUN

We are leveling pretty fast now, and it wont be very long until we have about 20 lvl40+ members. We have 57 members now, and we will keep our current recruiting policy one more month and then again look at our numbers to see if we should make recruiting even more restrictive.Our goal is still to be a selfsufficient highlevel pvp guild, and in order to achieve this we will need to be more than we are now, since raiding will have to possible at all times when we reach the endgame.

All in all we all agreed that things were looking fine, and we had a good meeting and a few laughs.

Cu in Camelot.
