Minutes of ROGUE guild meeting held on 18 July
Present: Esse, Faranth, Amba, Vrishnaar, Nykalla, and Grexx.
The meeting started at 12:00 PST.
Esse welcomed Nykalla as the new Logistics Officer.
Topic 1. SOE Titles(from last meeting)
After a brief discussion on whether or not guild titles or ranks should be used everyone was in favor of leaving things as they are, and Esse suggested not forgetting to recognise effort, as in when a title is earned it will be given.
Topic 2. Spacemaster (from last meeting)
This was the guild title vacated by Macelancing who no longer plays. It would suit an avid shipwright and space pilot. It was decided that as we don’t have anyone that fits the bill at present to leave the position open until such time as we have a guild member willing to be a full time shipwright. This topic has been shelved.
Topic 3. Sub Guild.
Faranth suggested forming a sub guild to allow for better communication with non-rebel alts of guild members. Not to be used for permanent, non rebel alliance of main combat toons. It would facilitate communication by allowing the forwarding of guild messages by using a second guild message in the sub-guild. It would be for non-main combat toons, mains on temporary absence from the rebellion and for non-rebel crafters or entertainers. It would not be for someone that wants to be friends of the guild, but don’t want to be Rebel.
It was agreed by all that a sub guild would be formed to keep communication flowing and it was decided that Schneak would be guild leader. There was also some extensive discussion on a name for the sub guild. It was raised by some that the name should not contain the word ROGUE in the title as that would compromise the fact that ROGUE is a Rebel-only guild.
It was suggested by Faranth that a non-ROGUE referenced name be assigned to the sub guild until more ROGUE members could have some input. Esse suggested EUGOR (which is ROGUE spelled backwards) for a temporary name. Also Faranth will draw up a draft declaration of rules for joining the sub guild. An email will be sent out to all ROGUE members asking for their input on a different name for the sub guild, then a meeting will be held to decide. (Faranth has prepped and vetted a Guild Charter, it will be sent to all guild members. Please contact Faranth or Schneak for further info.)
Topic 4. ARCA Chat.
Just a reminder that there is a chat channel called ARCA chat which you should join if you do not have access to guild chat, it is probably best to do this if you join the sub guild so you can keep up lines of communication with the main guild. The instructions for joining the chat channel are on the ROGUE guild forum pages. (I would suggest either instructions for joining the chat, or a more detailed direction of where to find it in the Rogue Forum. I could not find it)
Topic 5. Following Novo while afk for the base busts.
Esse wanted everyone to know that if you can’t attend a base bust and you wish to follow Novo while afk, please include a /join in your follow macro. Novo will invite followers and grouping allows him to keep track of your toons. Vrishnaar volunteered to write up an email with the basic rules for following Novo, including the follow macro, and he will send it out to the guild.
Topic 6. Guild meeting times.
The suggestion has been made that perhaps we could have occasional earlier meeting times to accommodate people who can’t be on as late.
It was suggested that maybe alternate meetings at an earlier time would be useful to include those people. As long as a couple of officers could be at the meeting any items for extensive discussion could be carried over to the next meeting when more people would be attending. It was decided that Nykalla would find out some suitable times from people, and a decision could be made once that information is gathered.
Topic 7. ROGUE guild uniform.
Amba raised the question did we still need to have a guild uniform and if so should we look at updating it. It was decided to keep having a uniform but to update it to a new look. It was agreed to have the colours red and black and if anyone has any ideas send them to Kezz and she can make up some samples. Anyone else who has a domestics trader can also make some samples and then we can have a night to show them to choose which is liked the best.
Topic 8. Group photo.
Amba wanted to ask everyone if we could get as many people together in front of the guild hall for a group picture to put an updated one up on the guild forum page as the one there is out of date.
Nykalla will email people with a time on Tuesday a week from now to give people time to get their best outfits organised for the picture.
Esse put forward a topic to ponder for the next meeting: purging the guild member list, as there are a lot of people who haven’t played in years and probably need to be removed.
The meeting ended at 2.00 am PST.
