Missing Leader

Well, we need to have some way to take a step foward in our reconstruction. Not everybody has a POF account, after all, and those that are on POF don't seem to be getting extremely involved in this conversation (as a majority, of course.) We need to be able to discuss something openly, and freely, where everybody involved in the Court can express their opinion.

And its not necessarily about how it happens, or how you make it happen, it matters if it happens. Our goal is obvious - reconstruct the Court. Now, whether we need to do this through meetings, through POF, or through a site that can be created just for the Court, is debatable. But we need to take some sort of action, no matter what form.

After all, lets face it - Rome wasn't built in a day. This is going to take a while - yet still, we just need to take it a step at a time - brainstorm for canidates for leader, vote on who it will be, change the rules, how the Court runs, and so forth. Once that is accomplished, then we can do what the Court was made for - fun!

Soooo, you've talked to Roxy about this?

[Captain Del]

I now no longer beleive that it is a case of too little time, like she announced in her last post, but rather she no longer wishes to be a part of Clan Storm or the TBC.

Seeing as how there have been no further communications from her, we can assume, until we here any feedback, shes gone AWOL.

If she happens to come back, and she remains active, welcome back, fold up the plans, back to business. But seeing as that isn't the case, we need to take action.

And as of right now, seeing as TSC runs the Subforum here on POF, and was working close with Roxy concerning the Court, we can look to him right now as our guide, as to what we should and shouldn't do.

From the start I was in disagreement with the number of meetings. I fully agree, and like the idea of replacing the meetings with activities.

I wanted to have which ever arguments or concerns to be addressed through POF or even by emails or other sources.

One of the reasons for the weekly meetings was to discuss with the guild captains any news regarding the storyline or events POTCO threw our way. This made sure that everyone that did not check the boards regularly was kept informed. That way they could inform their guilds of the new information. That is why it seemed that we had too many meetings (as far as Clan Storm was concerned). I am not opposed to having a weekly meeting to continue this process but I do think we would need to get back to the after meeting activities that was designed by Roxy. They do have the rules already established for each event and I think those rules were effective to help control the mayhem. I dont think we need to re-invent the wheel in this category. As for a new leader, I have concerns regarding this. This WAS Roxys idea, but that being said, she is no longer with us. In any Democratic society the leadership team goes to the next in line of succesion. There is a clear line of leadership already established. It is up to them to elect a new leader with a final vote from all the TBC guild captains. I am concerned as well of any items that only Roxy had control of. Would we need to change the name, forums, etc? As far as Roxy coming back at any time, she chose to abandon this project. In my opinion she would need to be held to the same standards that she held everyone else to. To come back as leader, she would need a vote of confidence from all the TBC guild captains.

Aye I agree Shaky having meetings every week is good but maybe not as long I suggest meetings are just there to explain what happened on POF to people who don't have accounts on here or don't check here as much, and I agree that there needs to be someone else in charge since roxy is clearly AWOL I suggest Skirata should be in charge of TBC in game.

[Ofury/ Tom]

Is there any members other than skirata that has been to most meetings? I'm not sure putting all the work on Skirata is a good idea.

[The Skirata Clan]

Yeah, me neither.

[Ofury/ Tom]

So then we must chose a new leader

[katzlover]

Any other ideas then??

[The Skirata Clan]

I don't log on POTCO as often as I would like, I spend more time here. That is why I was in charge of the POF part. That's why a POTCO leader was needed. I alone can't and won't carry TBC on my back. That is also why I was thinking of closing TBC. I am glad that some of you are showing interest again.

[Bartholomew Foulsteel]

I'll take over then. Now all we need to do is reorganize. We'll start by having all TBC members leave their guilds and join BBK. Then, meetings will be a thing of the past and events will be scheduled and posted on the Krewe calendar for all to see. You will also get mailed/PMed reminders of when events are and on what server. Your leader will normnally be at events, and when he isn't then another Officer will be in charge and will ensure the whole thing goes smoothly.

When the Krewe site is updated you will also receive notifications.

When issues come up, you will be notified of what they are (in general non-specific terms) and alternatives will be given.

Promotions will come based upon amount of activity and leadership qualities demonstrated.

Access to subforums here on POF is under my direct control and allow officers a private place to discuss matters of a more serious nature than in the general forums.



That would sure simplify things and accomplish the same goals, wouldn't it?

[The Skirata Clan]

I liked that shameless plug. You put a smile on my face.

[Bartholomew Foulsteel]

Hehe... it was not an actual attempt to make everybody in TBC join the Krewe, I was merely making a point. That point being that what people seem to WANT TBC to be is a giant guild.

If that's what ye want, then make a giant guild.

[The Skirata Clan]

I know it wasn't. You have morals. I understood the point, that's why it made me smile.
