Ok, the crowd has spoken & I have listened. I feel the GM's of IC (pretending it is successful) not make decisions on a grand scale without hearing everyones opinions. I'll stick with the 4 ranks. Each GM will be able to rename the titles to their liking but keep with the structure.

Mine are:
GM=Captain
Officers=Commander
Member=Lieutenant
Recruit=Ensign

I guess a newb will be an ensign for 30 days or so to see if they fit our play style. If they stick with IC then we'll bump them up, no posting required!

As far as the officers go I rather like Damins suggestions.
Event Coordinator -figure out the best days to do things & set them up.
Recruitment -finding those players like us who wish to join
Common Knowledge -helps the GM at will & helps the other two Commanders as they need. I'm not making special titles for the officers, just listing their unofficial titles. As for special titles in the guild we can have them for special event winners or for moronic/nub/dumb things that we all do. Say someone asks a nub thing & we all laugh at them, then we give them the Newblet Extrodinare title for a couple of days, lol.

Ok, hope this helps. I'll be talking to everyone here & there to see if anyone wants to step up for the officers roles. I guess my term starts now & ends after a new GM is elected in the last week of April.

Would you have to agree? o.0

Well, I come now to post what I have done. I spoke with Kazee last night in regards to our want to form an adventuring/friends’ guild outside of Strength or Hono[u]r. I only did that because I have been in this guild long enough to have gain the respect of many of it members, they have become apart of my WoW extended family. I do not look at the GMs as a parentally figure, but as close friends who have put their trust in me. I can't go behind their backs, and break that trust... I wouldn't do it to any of you and I sure won't do it to them.

Kazee, Josh, and I spoke for about 20 minutes about what our plans are. Kazee, as I figured, was very understanding. He understands our need to adventure as a small group of close friends, and it does not was to stifle that need in any way.

He went has far as to approve of us doing this without SiH getting in the way. His only request/offer is that if at anytime in our level/adventures we need assistants with instances or whatever, that we come to SiH and ask for their assistants. He promised that SiH will still continue to be our WoW home and friends in all that we do.

I hope that I have not upset anyone by doing this, but I could not in right mind not say something to the friends I have come to understand, joke, raid, and laugh at continually, even with their flaws and frustration.

I think what you did is perfectly ok Jared. I didnt think any of the GMs would have had a problem with it anyway since we already have several members who have alts in small family guilds. Late Jan 16th I'll be looking forward to my invite to IC.

Yeah, that was potentially a VERY bad thing.

Now we just have to wait for someone to raise a stink, because you know it's gonna happen. Kazee certainly won't keep this to himself.

Did you ever stop to consider what happens when/if one of our mains leaves to join IC? How will they handle that with the folks who try to remain in SiH? It'll become apparent that we AREN'T an alt guild, and the folks left behind will look like liars. Worse yet, they'll look like liars to the people we actually LIKE there (Kazee, namely). It won't go smoothly, and will limit the smooth relations we wanted to form with SiH. On top of that, telling them basically flew in the face of what we were trying to achieve with the guild. We're trying to be autonomous, not an "alt guild" that runs to mommy to ask permission to move out.

This was poorly played, especially considering that EVERYONE in IC asked that we not make it known to SiH.

I dont think it'll be too much of a problem Dana. There's already a few people on Alliance side that have alts in family guilds. If someone is gonna start a stink about us then they'll have to say something about them too.

I hope you're right -- I just want to have fun playing again with the people we leveled up 1-60 with... no matter what happens after the BC comes out, if it's not fun, I'll drop the game & wait for Darkfall.

here is my opinion.. i was in SiH just as long as you guys, i thought i had good friends.. but when i left for KG i didnt hear a single word from any of them, with the exception of you guys. you tell me who my real friends are. i think the same thing would be true for most of us. you be the judge.

OK. WHEN I finally get BC (Around Valentines Day) I'll join you with a BE Rogue named Twistedsteel. I registered on the guild portal forums. Can't wait. See you all there.
