| Subject: Guild Meeting (October 3rd) Points Roundup Sun Oct 03, 2010 3:54 pm | |
| Thanks to everyone who attended and for the empassioned discussion and ideas everyone shared:
Chaired: Lunarwolf Transcript: Lunarwolf Attendies: LW, Witya, Pjk, Dy, Randomfest, Charada, Soude & Suiadan
RECRUITMENT & ACTIVITY:
It was noted that both Recruitment and Member actvity was on the increase, but we discussed some options to impliment. Chief among this was a reward scheme, similar to the "medals" option used in other Guilds, except with an EPOCH twist. Though a thread will be opened to discuss this sound we thought it was more fitting to use a "credits" system to reward activity and perhaps even 'titles' which can be gained through such achievements for the Guild. More on this soon.
ALLY INTERACTION: Apart from the obvious interest in promoting cross-guild RP sessions, it was agreed that all Allied Guilds should be invited to use our chat, and that PrioryJK will contact RoM and ask about a larger EPOCH presence on their site to help 'flesh out' Ky's new guild and show our support. It has also been agreed that Emissary will post in the SWTOR.com recruitment threads of our allies at least once per month as a show of support. We did not discuss the dealings of the Sith'ari Path due to Harlequintwo's absence, but it was noted that the Path now have their own RP room in the Chatroom.
The 'IRL Meeting':
After some discussion, those who are attending the IRL Meeting later this month decided they would prefer to discuss this matter in the appropriate thread of the Forum so it was dropped.
ROLEPLAYING:
This was a hotbed of discussion! many, many points were raised. The chief among them being the following:
1. People want more RP in general at EPOCH 2. People want more accessable RP, allowing Initates and Freelancers to get involved in RP beyond just playing in The Hyperion. 3. People would like smaller, more character-driven RPs to allow them to learn more about their character's personalities. 4. People would like to see an "Initiation/Training" RP put in place for Initiates 5. It has been agreed that a new section of the Roleplaying part of the Forum will be created with the primary purpose of somewhere to hold the transcripts from the Chat-RP and D-RP logs so they are not lost. 6. People have expressed a big interest in promoting Cross-Guild RP. To that end Emissaries (or myself) will contact the leaders of our Allies.
GUILD ROLES:
It has been noted that some people would like more active roles within the EPOCH Community and as such three new "roles" have been discussed for people to do. Similar in responsibility to the Emissary Roles, these are more focused here at EPOCH but may require some promotional work as well. They are:
* RP Assistant: Someone to aid me in creating, overseeing and moderating RP games (in accordance with the requested increase in RP). The person in this role will also be acting RP Director in my absence.
* Freelancer Commander: The Freelancer Commander will be in charge of overseeing the Freelancers while here at EPOCH. They'll help organise activities / RP for them and will be keeping in contact with the Freelancers and be in charge of recruiting Freelancers.
* Initiate Trainer: Similar to the Freelancer Commander, the Initiate Trainer will be overseeing Initiates during their trial period at EPOCH, acting as part mentor and part instructor, organising RP, events and teaching EPOCH lore knowledge for Initiates to prepare them to become full Agents.
More information on these roles to come.
COMMENDATIONS:
Special Agents PrioryJk and Soude as well as Agents Dy, Randomfest and Witya were complimented for their work at EPOCH over the last 2 months.
OTHER:
It was suggested that a full list of what Freelancers and Initiates are expected to do should be posted so that people aren't left wondering what they are meant to be up to while here at EPOCH. These lists will will be organised with the help of the Freelancer Commander and Initiate Trainer (see above)
For those interesed in reading the whole Transcript, it can be found here because its too large to post here...:

| Some interstesting ideas here guys, shame I missed one this time around. I'm very happy to see a Freelancer 'Commander' being put in place because I feel that area is one that was starting to lose a bit of interest, even to the point where I was starting to wonder if it was an element worth keeping to our guild. To add my thoughts to the mix I would like to make an Initiate trainer a primary objective for the future. Hopefully this task will be set to an Agent as in a way it'll give them more to do in the guild and alleviate some of the pressures on the Officers and Leaders.
All in all though good stuff from what I've seen so far! | |
