Guild News 31st Aug: Alliance, Schedule & Recruiting!

[Rugiviet]

As a few of you may know, we have joined an alliance on Gandara which is between [GANK] & [Loot], hopefully more guilds will be joining at a later date. If you don't know what it is then here is a link: Shinies Collective

This will also mean more structure when it comes to having constant WvW Runs, the set day that I have given is every Monday. So what does this mean? Well each Monday we will be hosting an open tag run in a border of our choosing with other guilds and PUGS. Now we have done a few of these before hand, but this is different. I will not be the only person tagging up for these runs, this is your opportunity to learn how to commanding with out the pressure. 
For example, if the run lasts for 3 hours. I would like 3 commanders for an hour a piece or until they can't command any more. Now this is something that will help us expand and get onto the map, so each week I will be asking everyone who has a tag if they want to try (high recommended that you do, otherwise there is no point to this whole thing).

And finally, Ganker Squad [GANK] is NOW RECRUITING (Advert). So lets expand and build this great little community that we already have. Remember with more people, more event, more fun.

I am sooo glad about the positive responses we got from Shinies Collective.

2 things I forgot to ask, I know the whole recruitment thing will go rather slowly, but:
1. When is a good time to post in-game WvW chat recruitment post? Ofc I'm not talking about spamming, but is it okay to just post it any time?
2. Do we have a set roster, so that for example we could increase 20 players at a time so it's something we can handle?

1. I feel that anytime someone is asking in public if any guilds are recruiting then you can, also during runs thats are being hosted by us (mondays).
2. We don't have a current roster set, but it would be nice to double our roster to 40 and then make close our doors. It really depends on how fast we get the numbers, if it is really quick then we may close it. If it is slow then we may just leave it open until we are happy.

I know Chris had the idea of guild recruiting from outside of WvW, but I dunno when he was gonna post about it.

I didn't like the idea at first, but he did point out a few good reasons to do so: If we would recruit brand new/new-ish WvW-ers, they might not catch our recruitment messages on WvW. We could find some current PvE players who would want to try out more of WvW but couldn't do so due to no friends playing on WvW and stuff like that.

Ofc that could cause a few problems as well, but since we have the Trainee rank right now, I don't worry about that too much. It is also half 8 in the morning right now so I dunno what other problems there are, so I'll prolly elaborate on this tmr when I can brain better. Only posting it now before I forget.
