[Discussion] How Do You Build A Good Guild?

[Terafir 90]

My biggest would be keeping your members occupied somehow and keeping out the drama.

When the drama gets high, tensions, both OOC and IC rise as well.

Of course, if you're like me and have good officers, they enerally are able to keep the rest of them busy while I would focus on major projects, plans and diplomacy.

flays stayed alive because we kept feeding new members iron and more iron then they'd ever imagine 

Nawww, bby. When I was with the flays I didn't get any iron, and I stayed <3

Not always true. WR normally were doing next to nothing.

I hate to break it to you bub, but you were way inactive.

To a point where you were intentionally left out.

Ford, Nate lets not start a fight

More or less a checklist.

 

Have an optimistic, ambitious and intelligent leader.

Create objective.
Have well structured reasons for objective.
Create great lore for faction and those within the faction.

Make some decent uniforms.
Offer a helping hand to anyone interested in joining the guild and bring people in with an optimistic view on things.
Train.
Train more.
Go to conflicts.
Win.

Rally on the fact that you've won, as it boost morale stupidly high and will drive recruitment.
Start doing things almost everywhere so people always see you, as it drives up the curiosity factor.
Create objectives during stalemates, even if only petty patrols.

Request RP from other groups or GMs when you have nothing to do.

Don't be afraid to go to war and don't be afraid to lose. Conflicts ALWAYS peak activity.
IGNORE THE FORUMS AND DO NOT REACT TO ANYTHING ON THE FORUMS.
Keep IC-created OOC drama minimal. If someone is seriously crying, 'real tears,' over RP not going their way, take the time to explain that it's just a game.

Keep stressing the fact that this is all for S&G.

 

If everything is done, you're set.

 

 

-------------------

 

On a side note entirely, I would greatly appreciate it if you'd stop talking as if you were a Rose Tnoy. You aren't, weren't and really won't be. You can't speak on our behalf and were much less than beneficial to the Guild. I can recall MAYBE 3 or 4 times I'd actually seen you doing anything within the Guild. As such, your word's value on matters of the guild are nothing.

 

You were left unoathed for a reason.

nah we usually did stuff involving Oren all the time. Rarely did we actually fight elves and shiz.
