MEETING LOG

The Council of Guilds met on Wednesday, December 20, 2000 in the Lake Rathe Arena. Below is the log from that meeting, taken by Haemish, of the Silver Daggers edited to remove /tells, /shouts, /ooc and anything else not relevant to the discussion. This meeting was focused on what events we have done, such as Dragon and Plane Raids, using the Council to create alliances for large target raids, as well as a more events coming up. I have split this into two pages so cut down on the file size.

[Wed Dec 20 20:30:20 2000] Logging to 'eqlog.txt' is now *ON*.
[Wed Dec 20 20:31:01 2000] You say, 'Welcome to the Council of Guilds meeting.... if you would, please remove your helmet and any weapons and refrain from casting unless you absolutely must... and keep the drinking out until we're done as well'
[Wed Dec 20 20:31:18 2000] Dogedme says, 'Sorry '
[Wed Dec 20 20:31:31 2000] Pippi says, 'dogedme not= god'
[Wed Dec 20 20:31:32 2000] Aeschelus smiles.

[Wed Dec 20 20:32:10 2000] Azure giggles at Acaila.
[Wed Dec 20 20:32:16 2000] You say, 'I'd like to thank you all for coming out, we have a lower attendance than normal, I'm hopind due to the recent server split and the holidays'
[Wed Dec 20 20:33:11 2000] You say, 'We have reps from Mist Walkers, Seekers of Knowledge, House Marr D'Akcep, Sun Moon Sect, Haven of Light, and Pippi as always as well as Silver Daggers'
[Wed Dec 20 20:33:13 2000] Aeschelus thanks Haemish for having us.
[Wed Dec 20 20:33:59 2000] You say, 'First order of business is the server split.. this server lost some good people, a number of whom would normally have been here'
[Wed Dec 20 20:34:15 2000] Dogedme mourns their loss.
[Wed Dec 20 20:34:23 2000] Pippi crosses Mooshi off her list.
[Wed Dec 20 20:34:29 2000] You say, 'But with the departures, I think there is room for the CoG to really take the forefront for server events'
[Wed Dec 20 20:35:04 2000] You say, 'We're about 2 months away from being a year old organization, and we've accomplished some really nice things on this server'
[Wed Dec 20 20:35:37 2000] You say, 'Guildwars, Walking Tours of Antonica, Tournaments, Chess Games with Real People Pieces'
[Wed Dec 20 20:35:54 2000] Pippi says, 'wow, nice job running it for a year, haemish )'
[Wed Dec 20 20:36:09 2000] You say, 'And something most thought we couldn't do, plane raids and successful dragon raids, opening an avenue to these events for those who aren't in large guilds or ANY guild'
[Wed Dec 20 20:36:10 2000] Merkee gives a round of applause.
[Wed Dec 20 20:36:11 2000] Dogedme says, 'Aye.. well done!'
[Wed Dec 20 20:36:26 2000] You say, 'I just call the meetin's... you guys do the hard part'
[Wed Dec 20 20:36:33 2000] Edina applauds Haemish.
[Wed Dec 20 20:36:45 2000] Minkey says, 'cog is the best thing since sliced bread'
[Wed Dec 20 20:36:54 2000] Aeschelus says, 'Your humilty speaks well of you'
[Wed Dec 20 20:36:58 2000] You say, 'The Council would be nothing without the people who've helped the events go off'
[Wed Dec 20 20:36:59 2000] Pippi remembers some barbarian warrior running a newbie tournament..
[Wed Dec 20 20:37:10 2000] Dogedme looks sceptical at the thought of slicing bread.
[Wed Dec 20 20:37:20 2000] Pippi says, 'LOL'
[Wed Dec 20 20:37:28 2000] Pippi agrees with Dogedme.
[Wed Dec 20 20:37:28 2000] Edina thinks sharp objects should be kept from Dogedme.
[Wed Dec 20 20:37:30 2000] You say, 'You mean you slice bread? I thought you just chewed pieces off of it'
[Wed Dec 20 20:37:38 2000] Dogedme grins evilly.
[Wed Dec 20 20:37:50 2000] Pippi chuckles.
[Wed Dec 20 20:37:50 2000] You laugh.
[Wed Dec 20 20:37:51 2000] Dogedme nods at Haemish.
[Wed Dec 20 20:38:11 2000] You say, 'But for the future, I think we can do even better things'
[Wed Dec 20 20:38:30 2000] You say, 'We've already taken down Nagafen twice, once when led by Jzonn, and once when led by Ameron and Balendin'
[Wed Dec 20 20:38:32 2000] Pippi says, 'Club Monaco warehouse sales!'
[Wed Dec 20 20:38:35 2000] Pippi says, 'oops'
[Wed Dec 20 20:38:40 2000] Dogedme says, 'Lol!'
[Wed Dec 20 20:38:44 2000] Edina laughs.
[Wed Dec 20 20:38:50 2000] You say, 'Heheheh ;)'
[Wed Dec 20 20:39:15 2000] Pippi is sorry and will behave now.
[Wed Dec 20 20:39:25 2000] You say, 'We have not yet taken down Vox, and that's one of the next things I think our groups should go for'
[Wed Dec 20 20:39:53 2000] Belce says, 'hello everyone'
[Wed Dec 20 20:39:53 2000] You say, 'Welcome Brother Belce'
[Wed Dec 20 20:39:54 2000] You snap to attention and salute Belce crisply.
[Wed Dec 20 20:39:57 2000] Pippi says, 'hey belce )'
[Wed Dec 20 20:40:04 2000] Dogedme says, 'Hiya Belce :)'
[Wed Dec 20 20:40:07 2000] Minkey says, 'howdy belce'
[Wed Dec 20 20:40:20 2000] You say, 'Nae just the ones who came to the meetin' tonight'
[Wed Dec 20 20:41:00 2000] You say, 'Vox is definitely one of the targets we need to get to next... and Zellex has said he wants to take the CoG to the God Rotation'
[Wed Dec 20 20:41:28 2000] Dogedme says, 'Organization will be a nightmare for that one'
[Wed Dec 20 20:41:34 2000] You say, 'He also has a Plane of Hate run scheduled for Sunday morning'
[Wed Dec 20 20:41:45 2000] You say, 'So have yer members sign up for it soon'
[Wed Dec 20 20:42:03 2000] You say, 'Aye organizing the god rotation will be tough.... I think he can do it though'
[Wed Dec 20 20:42:18 2000] Dogedme nods at Haemish.
[Wed Dec 20 20:42:23 2000] Pippi says, 'crazy, but good monk )'
[Wed Dec 20 20:42:36 2000] Minkey says, 'christmas eve is a hard time to do a plane run'
[Wed Dec 20 20:42:39 2000] Merkee says, 'I read that posting and sounded like I was out classed because I have never attended one'
[Wed Dec 20 20:42:40 2000] You say, 'It might actually be easier than the dragons, as he'll have two days to organize a run instead of 1'
[Wed Dec 20 20:43:02 2000] You say, 'Actually Merkee, these are great if you haven't attended one.. you have to learn somehow'
[Wed Dec 20 20:43:42 2000] Dogedme says, 'True... coordinating the run in is the hard part, though... Zellex can do it, I think... though a little help from others of us sure wouldn't hurt'
[Wed Dec 20 20:43:42 2000] You say, 'Zellex tries to schedule these twice a month when he can'
[Wed Dec 20 20:43:56 2000] Merkee says, 'I would like to know how the list works and who has a better chance of selection'
[Wed Dec 20 20:44:19 2000] Minkey says, 'you know, that last fear raid messed up because everyone zoned in at once, should that be happeneing or should zoning be intermitten?'
[Wed Dec 20 20:44:24 2000] You say, 'It's first come first serve Merkee... except that if you sign up and aren't taken on this one, you'll have priority for the next one'
[Wed Dec 20 20:44:33 2000] Aeschelus says, 'I've been on one Zellex Fear raid.. and it was extremely well done'
[Wed Dec 20 20:45:09 2000] You say, 'Not sure about the zoning issue Minkey, not having been myself'
[Wed Dec 20 20:45:10 2000] Belce says, 'the last Fear raid was the only unsuccessful run we have had on the planes to date'
[Wed Dec 20 20:45:50 2000] You say, 'I know that it's usual to send waves in instead of the whole shebang, or at least that's a tactice I've heard'
[Wed Dec 20 20:45:51 2000] Minkey says, 'just for future reference I was just wondering is zoning should be done that way or differently'
[Wed Dec 20 20:46:20 2000] Aeschelus says, 'It really depends on the organizer.. typically its waves.. then get to the camp and log in as an alt'
[Wed Dec 20 20:46:23 2000] You say, 'Those of you who are planes experienced might be able to shed some light on that?'
[Wed Dec 20 20:46:26 2000] Belce says, 'Zellex will have learned from that one as well'
[Wed Dec 20 20:46:49 2000] Pippi says, 'aye, it is the decision of the raid organizer/leader'
[Wed Dec 20 20:47:06 2000] Minkey says, 'first time I went was intermitten and it was much more successful, the last time everyone went LD'
[Wed Dec 20 20:48:32 2000] You say, 'Zellex might actually be here fer a few moments if he can... he's waitin' on reinforcements for the PoF'
[Wed Dec 20 20:48:46 2000] Dogedme decides his magic just don't cut it and sits back down.
[Wed Dec 20 20:48:57 2000] Pippi says, 'heh )'
[Wed Dec 20 20:48:59 2000] You say, 'I want to bring up an issue that I've brought up on the forum before and talk about it'
[Wed Dec 20 20:49:54 2000] You say, 'I've recently become of the mind that while we need to continue the CoG raids as we've been doing, I think it would be really helpful to some of the "larger" small guilds to band togehter into alliances in order to do the planes and dragons'
[Wed Dec 20 20:50:37 2000] Pippi says, 'aye'
[Wed Dec 20 20:50:40 2000] You say, 'For instance, the Daggers and their allies have gotten together, including the Seekers of Knowledge, Storm's Justice and Illuminatus, into the Sacred Band, an alliance to do just that'
[Wed Dec 20 20:50:52 2000] Aeschelus says, 'I read that post on your site and I agree.. more formalized frienships within the CoG.. I just fear that inadvertantly that might lead to some exclusion that we should just be aware of'
[Wed Dec 20 20:51:19 2000] Pippi nods.
[Wed Dec 20 20:51:22 2000] You say, 'We aren't ready yet to do the targets by ourselves, and I think what the alliances can do to help those who aren't able to get in these alliances....'
[Wed Dec 20 20:51:32 2000] Dogedme says, 'I share Aeschelus's concerns... we need to be aware of that'
[Wed Dec 20 20:51:44 2000] Minkey says, 'Since the larger guilds are pretty mucht he ones that support the smaller ones, thatll just leave out smaller guild from going on raids'
[Wed Dec 20 20:51:45 2000] You say, 'Is we can do much as Zellex has done, in that we HOST CoG planes raids'
[Wed Dec 20 20:51:50 2000] Belce says, 'Sacred Band will be able to include people from outside its group, same with other such groups'
[Wed Dec 20 20:52:05 2000] Dogedme nods at Haemish.
[Wed Dec 20 20:52:11 2000] You say, 'And Host CoG dragon raids, so that those smaller guilds will still have an avenue for these type of things'
[Wed Dec 20 20:52:39 2000] You say, 'Basically, the CoG has a regular schedule of raids, hosted by a rotating set of alliances'
[Wed Dec 20 20:52:49 2000] Minkey says, 'I dont see any reason why these alliances would want to give up oppurtunities on raids to support smaller guilds anymore'
[Wed Dec 20 20:53:02 2000] Pippi says, 'yea, that was what I was worried about, too'
[Wed Dec 20 20:53:05 2000] Edina says, 'If I may ask a question...what is the difference between CoG's formation and an alliance?'
[Wed Dec 20 20:53:16 2000] You say, 'Minkey, I can't speak for anyone else, but I'd do it in a heartbeat to make sure the CoG is still a viable platform for this sort of thing'
[Wed Dec 20 20:53:17 2000] Pippi says, 'a lot of the existing alliances don't like to help those outside the alliance'
[Wed Dec 20 20:53:18 2000] Aeschelus says, 'I dont think that would be intentional, Minkey.. but it could be an inadvetant result'
[Wed Dec 20 20:53:42 2000] You say, 'Edina you bring up a valid point.. let me explain'
[Wed Dec 20 20:53:59 2000] Belce says, 'It certainly depends on those that make up such an alliance'
[Wed Dec 20 20:54:04 2000] You say, 'Right now, every CoG big event has a different set of people attending... never the same lineup because it's all from signups'
[Wed Dec 20 20:54:09 2000] Pippi nods at Belce.
[Wed Dec 20 20:54:09 2000] Minkey says, 'It would seems and an alliance of a couple medium guilds would just be the same as a NC or GH. And they certainly dont bother about the smaller guilds'
[Wed Dec 20 20:54:32 2000] Aeschelus says, 'The difference is though, Minkey that they come from this group'
[Wed Dec 20 20:54:50 2000] Belce says, 'good point Aes'
[Wed Dec 20 20:55:01 2000] Minkey says, 'A self supporting collaboration wouldnt need the group though'
[Wed Dec 20 20:55:05 2000] You say, 'I think that while it isn't an across the board feeling, most of the Active CoG guilds feel the same way that I do.... they would give up some spots on a raid to help the server'
[Wed Dec 20 20:55:12 2000] Aeschelus says, 'But I agree its something we need to be aware of so as not to alienate'
[Wed Dec 20 20:55:32 2000] Aeschelus says, 'Agreed.. '
[Wed Dec 20 20:55:52 2000] You say, 'Well, I think that in order to make it a CoG hosted Plane Raid or Dragon run, you'd have to have a certain amount of slots available for open signups'
[Wed Dec 20 20:56:08 2000] Belce says, 'Sacred Band is not a self supporting group though, we need others atill'
[Wed Dec 20 20:56:19 2000] You say, 'Aye we do'
[Wed Dec 20 20:56:24 2000] You say, 'Dogedme you had a point? '
[Wed Dec 20 20:56:47 2000] Minkey says, 'whats sacred band?'
[Wed Dec 20 20:57:00 2000] Dogedme says, 'Yes... regarding Minkey's concern, which is valid.... guilds within CoG are certainly welcome to form their own alliances.....'
[Wed Dec 20 20:57:06 2000] Belce says, 'oh the name we have given this alliance'
[Wed Dec 20 20:57:13 2000] Dogedme says, 'And to take the large targets on their own.... however...'
[Wed Dec 20 20:57:22 2000] You say, 'Sacred Band is an alliance of the Silver Dagers, Seekers of Knowledge, Illuminatus and Storm's Justice'
[Wed Dec 20 20:57:24 2000] Pippi says, 'alliance not= cog'
[Wed Dec 20 20:57:44 2000] Dogedme says, 'By doing so, they make themselves inelligible for CoG raids... those are the KGC rules and we've agreed to abide by them.'
[Wed Dec 20 20:57:55 2000] Minkey says, 'now lets say sacared band is large enough to do anything, then why support cog? (except that haemish started it ;))'
[Wed Dec 20 20:58:13 2000] Pippi says, 'because some people actually care about the server community, minkey )'
[Wed Dec 20 20:58:19 2000] You say, 'Minkey, I'd think enlightened self-interest'
[Wed Dec 20 20:58:20 2000] Belce says, 'only raids for gods and dragons apply that rule'
[Wed Dec 20 20:58:24 2000] Aeschelus says, 'Is it a correct understanding that CoG is simply a frienship of guilds with similar aims/interests to promote better continuity on the server and an alliance within is simply a formal pact between those guilds '
[Wed Dec 20 20:58:33 2000] You say, 'Aye planes raids don't apply that rule Dog'
[Wed Dec 20 20:58:50 2000] Dogedme says, 'Right.. but the dragons still do'
[Wed Dec 20 20:58:52 2000] Pippi says, 'aye, aeschelus, sounds about right'
[Wed Dec 20 20:58:54 2000] You say, 'Aye Aeschelus you hit it right on the head.... the CoG is not an alliance'
[Wed Dec 20 20:59:06 2000] Minkey says, 'Maybe Cog itself can be an alliance of guilds. That have stricter rules'
[Wed Dec 20 20:59:13 2000] Pippi says, 'emphasis on server '
[Wed Dec 20 20:59:23 2000] Dogedme says, 'I'd not be in favor of that, Minkey'
[Wed Dec 20 20:59:27 2000] Belce says, 'it was never formed with that intention'
[Wed Dec 20 20:59:31 2000] Edina says, 'Is it "rules" that make an Alliance?'
[Wed Dec 20 20:59:34 2000] Aeschelus says, 'I think that would hinder the individual guilds.. CoG has done great for a year as is'
[Wed Dec 20 20:59:36 2000] Pippi says, 'aye'
[Wed Dec 20 20:59:46 2000] You say, 'I would also not be in favor of making CoG a formal alliance per se'
[Wed Dec 20 21:00:01 2000] Pippi says, 'I think the CoG should not deal with all the administrative stuff alliances deal with'
[Wed Dec 20 21:00:02 2000] Minkey says, 'I think that rules would make a standrad and make people have more then a casual interest in CoG'
[Wed Dec 20 21:00:05 2000] Edina says, 'Why is that, Haeimish?'
[Wed Dec 20 21:00:51 2000] Aeschelus says, 'I believe that this group has survived based on its good and pure intentions for over 1 year.. and to legislate those intentions would be a contradiction.. '
[Wed Dec 20 21:00:58 2000] You say, 'Well, I think that when you start trying to set up rules for things, you put yourself in the position of legislating things'
[Wed Dec 20 21:01:09 2000] Edina nods.
[Wed Dec 20 21:01:32 2000] Pippi says, 'for me, this council is all about inclusion of everyone on the server, not exclusion based on who is in the 'list' '
[Wed Dec 20 21:01:44 2000] Dogedme says, 'And those who only take a casual interest are a big part of CoG.. all are welcome to participate as much or as little as they want.. I like that fact about CoG'
[Wed Dec 20 21:01:49 2000] You say, 'And when you legislate things, people who do not follow your rules will oppose you.... i.e. if CoG suddenly says Kill Stealing is illegal on this server and the CoG will not have it.. what will that do? '
[Wed Dec 20 21:02:01 2000] Minkey says, 'I think that the CoG is more of a mercenary list and doesnt build strong friendships. But if it was an alliance then it would foster stronger relations between people who are part of it'
[Wed Dec 20 21:02:21 2000] Pippi says, 'but an alliance by default excludes people'
[Wed Dec 20 21:02:25 2000] Aeschelus says, 'Minkey, have you been with the CoG long? '
[Wed Dec 20 21:02:29 2000] Edina says, 'I understand now. Thank you for explaining :)'
[Wed Dec 20 21:02:30 2000] Minkey says, 'As is, people who go on raids dont know each other and probably hardly party outside of a scheduled event'
[Wed Dec 20 21:02:40 2000] You say, 'That's true Minkey'
[Wed Dec 20 21:03:03 2000] You say, 'Let me make a break in this section fer a second.. can anyone TP Zellex from FV? Cos they are bound there? '
[Wed Dec 20 21:03:19 2000] Pippi says, 'I can make the run'
[Wed Dec 20 21:03:19 2000] Minkey says, 'I havent been in the CoG that long, few months maybe?'
[Wed Dec 20 21:03:22 2000] Belce says, 'A good point Minkey, but I think what we do is bring like minded people together, hopefully to explore relationships with the guilds/individuals they enconter'
[Wed Dec 20 21:03:32 2000] Dogedme says, 'Argh.. I'm bound in SoV :('
[Wed Dec 20 21:03:37 2000] You say, 'Actually Pippi, can you pick up Milriu in Southern Ro? '
[Wed Dec 20 21:03:44 2000] Pippi says, 'sure'
[Wed Dec 20 21:03:54 2000] Pippi says, 'zellex, then milriu?'
[Wed Dec 20 21:04:04 2000] Pippi says, 'oh, nm, he's still in fear )'
[Wed Dec 20 21:04:15 2000] Dogedme says, 'I can take one or the other if needed, Pip'
[Wed Dec 20 21:04:18 2000] You say, 'Milriu is Zellex. He'll be at th S Ro Druid ring'
[Wed Dec 20 21:04:24 2000] Pippi says, 'ah, k'
[Wed Dec 20 21:04:32 2000] Minkey says, 'Well, maybe to foster better relations you can have smaller events scheduled but more often? So people interested in doing events with others can keep in touch consistently?'
[Wed Dec 20 21:04:35 2000] Pippi says, 'looks like I'm ok, doged, thanks )'
[Wed Dec 20 21:04:40 2000] You say, 'Minkey I don't think your idea is a bad one, and I see the merits in it'
[Wed Dec 20 21:04:44 2000] Dogedme says, 'Okies :)'
[Wed Dec 20 21:04:51 2000] Aeschelus says, 'I think that this group is strong because of the pure and good intentions that brought the group together.. and if we legislate more formal rules here, we will see less cooperation.. The people in this organization demonstrate that intention just by '
[Wed Dec 20 21:05:01 2000] Aeschelus says, 'being here.. '
[Wed Dec 20 21:05:03 2000] Belce says, 'more CoG events would be good, '
[Wed Dec 20 21:05:13 2000] You say, 'More CoG events would be very good'
[Wed Dec 20 21:05:27 2000] Minkey says, 'I think the principal of freely inviiting anyone, guild or guildless, is plenty incentive'
[Wed Dec 20 21:05:29 2000] You say, 'The problem I've run into is that you have to have someone run them'
[Wed Dec 20 21:05:36 2000] Dogedme says, 'I had intended suggesting a stronger schedule of mixer hunts at this meeting :)'
[Wed Dec 20 21:05:49 2000] Pippi says, 'yea, one every week ;)'
[Wed Dec 20 21:05:53 2000] Belce says, 'maybe a monthly?'
[Wed Dec 20 21:05:55 2000] You say, 'And a good suggestion Dog :)'
[Wed Dec 20 21:05:57 2000] Dogedme says, 'All run by Pippi :)'
[Wed Dec 20 21:06:01 2000] Pippi says, 'eeek'
[Wed Dec 20 21:06:01 2000] Minkey says, 'heh'
[Wed Dec 20 21:06:03 2000] You say, 'Heheheh'
[Wed Dec 20 21:06:19 2000] You say, 'I think the biggest problem we've had with having more events is getting people to run them'
[Wed Dec 20 21:06:20 2000] Minkey says, 'I thought the mixers you had were grat'
[Wed Dec 20 21:06:22 2000] Belce says, 'aye we can calll it the Pippi Raids'
[Wed Dec 20 21:06:23 2000] Pippi shoots a troublesome glance at Dogedme.
[Wed Dec 20 21:06:30 2000] Dogedme chuckles.
[Wed Dec 20 21:06:31 2000] Aeschelus says, 'lol'
[Wed Dec 20 21:06:47 2000] Minkey says, 'you can have smaller raids with just one or two groups going into sebilis or karnor things like that'
[Wed Dec 20 21:06:54 2000] Belce says, 'I stand to second Doged's proposal'
[Wed Dec 20 21:06:54 2000] You say, 'Despite the successful mixers we've had, I can never seem to get anyone under 25 to run a mixer :)'
[Wed Dec 20 21:06:55 2000] Pippi says, 'brb'
[Wed Dec 20 21:07:00 2000] Pippi says, 'no!'
[Wed Dec 20 21:07:00 2000] Edina says, 'I have seen legislation in another alliance and it causes so much friction. Also a set of "unwritten rules" that go along with it. It's very hard to maintain continuity that way. That is just my opinion.'
[Wed Dec 20 21:07:05 2000] Minkey says, 'but the think about CoG is that since no one really knows each other, its hard to get back up if everyone dies'
[Wed Dec 20 21:07:31 2000] You say, 'Heheh I remember you helping out a great deal at the last mixer Minkey :)'
[Wed Dec 20 21:07:40 2000] Belce says, 'well the corpses there help )'
[Wed Dec 20 21:07:45 2000] Minkey says, 'I think CoG has great loot rules, and then lay down some common sense etiquette rules'
[Wed Dec 20 21:07:52 2000] Minkey says, 'Hail'
[Wed Dec 20 21:07:56 2000] Minkey says, 'I loved helpin out'
[Wed Dec 20 21:08:13 2000] Minkey says, 'Palanka is almost 41, shes got exp res and would love to help out too.'
[Wed Dec 20 21:08:31 2000] Dogedme says, 'Actually we have no loot rules... only suggestions, if I understand it correctly'
[Wed Dec 20 21:08:39 2000] You say, 'The one thing the Mixer Hunts are meant to teach is the discipline needed to do dragon raids and plane raids and the corpse recovery that goes with them'
[Wed Dec 20 21:08:43 2000] Minkey says, 'I meant how its set up for the planes'
[Wed Dec 20 21:09:07 2000] Minkey says, 'Which is how must groups work when you party with strangers that go need before greed'
[Wed Dec 20 21:09:09 2000] You say, 'And those loot rules actually are used on all our hunt type of events'
[Wed Dec 20 21:09:27 2000] Minkey says, 'not like a point system EW uses heh'
[Wed Dec 20 21:09:29 2000] Aeschelus says, 'Zellex does a great job at outlining loot rules prior to the raid'
[Wed Dec 20 21:10:11 2000] You say, 'I think what I'm hearing here is that most of us don't really think more legislation would help'
[Wed Dec 20 21:10:11 2000] Dogedme says, 'And they're good rules, too.. which is why most of the raid leaders adopt the same rules on their raids :)'
[Wed Dec 20 21:10:27 2000] You say, 'BUT I do hear that we want more events'
[Wed Dec 20 21:10:41 2000] Minkey says, 'oh yes'
[Wed Dec 20 21:10:46 2000] Minkey beams a smile at Haemish.
[Wed Dec 20 21:10:48 2000] Dogedme nods.
[Wed Dec 20 21:10:55 2000] You say, 'And I completely agree'
[Wed Dec 20 21:11:26 2000] Aeschelus says, 'Although I could not attend.. i heard about your event you planned in Oasis.. I think more of that would be great'
[Wed Dec 20 21:11:29 2000] You say, 'I think that after the holidays are over, we should get our guilds to try to host more events'
[Wed Dec 20 21:12:09 2000] You say, 'One thing to make sure to communicate to your members... if any of them, whether leader officer or just member wants to get the CoG help in running or hosting an event.....'
[Wed Dec 20 21:12:15 2000] You say, 'Post to the forum and ask for help'
[Wed Dec 20 21:12:30 2000] Aeschelus says, 'Ok we'll pass that on to House Marr'
[Wed Dec 20 21:12:31 2000] You say, 'I'm sure we all have members who'd love to do some dungeons with a bunch of people'
[Wed Dec 20 21:12:44 2000] You say, 'You had a question Edina? '
[Wed Dec 20 21:12:58 2000] Minkey says, 'Lemme tell you about my guild, its really not one. There 3 active members, all pretty high. id love to help host/lead but not much we can do'
[Wed Dec 20 21:13:19 2000] Edina says, 'Yes, as far as asking for help from CoG...many people are needing help with their FA quests now. Would that be appropriate to ask for help from CoG'
[Wed Dec 20 21:13:26 2000] You say, 'Sure would'
[Wed Dec 20 21:13:42 2000] Edina says, 'Good, thank you :)'
[Wed Dec 20 21:13:49 2000] Belce says, 'some of the encounters may be beyond what we can do though'
[Wed Dec 20 21:13:53 2000] You say, 'Long as no one is excluded and the loot rules follow the general guidelines we always use, I'd say ask away :)'
[Wed Dec 20 21:14:29 2000] Edina says, 'Well, usually its to benefit one person as far as loot goes because it's for their quest'
[Wed Dec 20 21:14:37 2000] You say, 'For instance, the Soulfire quest... let's say you have a paladin in need of Soulfire and can't muster enough to kill Lucan'
[Wed Dec 20 21:14:46 2000] Belce says, 'hmm helpin with a quest though implies that certain people are there for that next component though Haemish'
[Wed Dec 20 21:14:50 2000] Edina says, 'But in that case, we would all help each other as needed.'
[Wed Dec 20 21:15:08 2000] You say, 'You post to the forum saying that you'd like help in gettin' so and so his Soulfire'
[Wed Dec 20 21:15:30 2000] You say, 'I think that Loot Rules aren't really set in stone, but if they differ from what the CoG usually uses they should be stated up front'
[Wed Dec 20 21:15:32 2000] Aeschelus says, 'It will be well remembered who helped obtain that quest componenet and favors will be returned, happily'
[Wed Dec 20 21:16:00 2000] You say, 'That way anyone who helps knows what to expect'
[Wed Dec 20 21:16:05 2000] Edina says, 'Correct'
[Wed Dec 20 21:16:47 2000] You say, 'But for another example, let's say that you have someone who is 20th level'
[Wed Dec 20 21:17:01 2000] Aeschelus says, 'Minkey/Edina in cases of which you've spoken, House Marr would gladly assist if ample notice is given'
[Wed Dec 20 21:17:03 2000] You say, 'He'd like to explore Runnyeye to the depths'
[Wed Dec 20 21:17:13 2000] Belce says, 'So it is understood then that CoG can be used for a means to complete quests, when stated beforehand'
[Wed Dec 20 21:17:19 2000] Edina says, 'thank you Aeschelus :)'
[Wed Dec 20 21:17:27 2000] Aeschelus smiles.
[Wed Dec 20 21:18:01 2000] You say, 'That 20th level member can come to the CoG board and organize a raid there, calling for signups.... AND use the CoG submit a press release form to announce it to the news sites'
[Wed Dec 20 21:18:57 2000] You say, 'I think it's really important that your members know that the CoG is not just for high level raids, but all levels'
[Wed Dec 20 21:19:10 2000] Edina nods.
[Wed Dec 20 21:19:14 2000] Dogedme says, 'What he's saying is that the CoG can be used to organize ANY event.. quest or otherwise... just be up front about the rules for your event when you post it :)'
[Wed Dec 20 21:19:18 2000] Azure agrees with everyone around her.
[Wed Dec 20 21:19:25 2000] Haemish nods at Dogedme.
[Wed Dec 20 21:19:45 2000] You say, 'Now about the alliances I mentioned'
[Wed Dec 20 21:19:59 2000] Azure says, 'my guild is lvl 34 and lower , that is good to know'
[Wed Dec 20 21:20:16 2000] You say, 'The CoG won't be abandoning the platform for dragon and planes raids, but I think the alliances would help out the individual guilds a lot'
[Wed Dec 20 21:21:06 2000] You say, 'As long as the alliances remember that the CoG needs the help too :)'
[Wed Dec 20 21:21:14 2000] Aeschelus says, 'I think that if we all agree to make a conscience effort to make sure slots are available for smaller guilds, that will work out great'
[Wed Dec 20 21:21:51 2000] Minkey says, 'how about making some sort of rotation/routine that guartees alliances make spots for cog?'
[Wed Dec 20 21:22:12 2000] Minkey says, 'like week 1 is given up by X, week 2 by Y, 3 by Z etc'
[Wed Dec 20 21:22:19 2000] You say, 'Well, I think that once we see alliances start forming, those alliances will be given the next "spot" for the CoG raids'
[Wed Dec 20 21:22:36 2000] Edina welcomes Pippi warmly.
[Wed Dec 20 21:22:39 2000] Pippi says, 'lo'
[Wed Dec 20 21:22:41 2000] Aeschelus says, 'I look at it this way.. House Marr does not view the strenght of frienship by number but by honor and loyalty.. if your guild is looking for friendship, talk with us, Minkey'
[Wed Dec 20 21:22:44 2000] Belce says, 'wb Pippi'
[Wed Dec 20 21:22:55 2000] Dogedme says, 'We may need to get a better snapshot of where we are before we'll know what we're looking at for potential numbers of alliances'
