Basically we just co-ordinate playing times, and attacks so to speak.
If you have seen Pearl Harbour the it would be similar to the point in the movie where the Air Force were launching their planes off ofthe Navy's ships.
it would almost be like we were one group.

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
That hardly counts as role playing, just an comparison to illustrate a point.
The sole purpose of a video game guild/clan is to interact in a group.
Agreed. Though sometimes certain members in the group get dogged with stuff that causes them to go into periods of low activity, thus it is harder to interact with them.

But only because there has been no need, until now, and said orders have been along the lines of "get your ass in this MSN chat so we can work shit out"

Elfen imo should be the new leader. Then again, he should also step up, and be a bit more active in his moderation, otherwise, i dont recommend him for guild commander. no offense Elfen <3
How often does a Private in the marines see the Commandant of the Marines?
Silver made this guild not me. He is like the owner of a football team, I'm more like the Head Coach.

The problem is that, when all the higher ups are roleplaying, no matter how optional it is, it will deter new members and more or less force roleplaying upon the other members in one way or another.
Not all the higher ups do it, and even those that do, have cut back on it. You see it rarely now.

Got rid of the whole role playing religion where everyone is suppose to praise Lord Silver.
Getting rid of the religion roleplay maybe good. But we will have to respect out higher ups.
Does the word Optional mean anything to you? To me, it means either I can choose to do something, or I can choose not to do something, no one is forcing my hand. But hey, that's just me.

Personaly, I think SICK should be run by Elfen, not Silver,
Inactuality that is not far from the truth. I assumed most of his managerial roles so he was free to deal with other issues.
Your suggesting things like your still a member, lol. Or are you considering rejoining should all this mess get sorted out. I'm not too concerned, suggestions are suggestions.

Also, this clan needs to stop talking and start doing, we need to stop throwing out ideas and start doing something.
The merging of the various sub guild has already been instituted, the paperwork is currently making it's way through administration.
That really just leaves the total number of memmber issue. Inactivity does play a part in this, thus the question becomes how best to rectify the situation.
As much as I would like SICK to be an Army or the Navy, it is not. I cannot hold anyone down and force them to serve for an extented period of time, (such as 100 years before the mast for example) and neither can I truly press gang anyone in to fill numbers slots. And others in SICK cannot really do it eitherm sure we can bug the hell out of people with IMs/PMs/Email, but that doesn't really fix the situation of how to keep people active.
In regards to rank redistribution/reformat, you cannot really do that if you don't have anybody to fill those ranks, unless you were to straight up remove a few, and yes, I have considered that, but as it wasn't until recently, I had no need for such extreme measures, now it seems there is just cause.

I believe no legion has enough members as to be called a legion. I don’t know where you people keep getting Legions from. The various Sub guilds were called Centuriae, you know as in multiples of 100 people. A legion is comprised of about 60 Centuriae 60X100 = 6000 men, that is a Legion. We don’t have that many people, but we used the same names.
Well Carl said he was putting in a new commander I believe. So 4 commanders, but one inexperienced. Plus there's Silver. So 5 "higher ups".
He is promoting Fudlow, as best I can figure it.
Hmmm, hmmm, then it means that Lord Silver and Lord Elfen are equal no matter what?
I am far from his equal.
I would like to start something new for people who think saying thou at the beginning of every sentence and calling people lords is totally queer.
If you had read the rules, no where does it say you have to do that, not since about a year and a half ago, when some of rules got changed. It states it is Optional. Stormcat is in SICK but you don't see her always calling people Lord or Sir now do you.
I would like to start something where everyone can feel free to go on and play whenever they want and the members will just be open to help them out at anytime.
I’m confused. Is that not what we have now? We just have a members shortage.

Lately I'm lucky to be around as often as I am. And scope out the sig, not the greatest amount of activity on LOD. Damn Real Life, it really knows how to get in the way of a good time.
we have way too many legions with not enough members. Its time to do something about this.
Our main problem is inactivity. I hope everyone is aware there was a point were all 12 were active, then something happened. Now we are lucky to have 1. I don't mind combining them all as generally the sub guilds will still exist, people will more than likely play with the same individuals more often than others.
Ferret should no doubt be given a larger role in the governence of the guild, assuming he wants it. Thas should probably too, but to surpass the people who made the guild is a bit much, no matter how inactive Silver and I are.
Not entirely sure what your issue is with the titles of the ranks, they work quite well, the problem, is people to fill said ranks, once again, inactivity is our main concern here.
When everyone is active, people are happy, we are working on banners, videos, flags, playing the games we love and pretty much all round having fun. But when there is say 2 or 3 people, it is not fun.
So prehaps we should work on ideas for keeping up people's activity. before who reassign people to higher posisitons of power, at least in the mean time.
