Guild Spotlight: Discussion Thread

[Karyuu]

And as a curiousity, why was the vote for Hokyba retracted? Does it have something that does not qualify it for participating or did the person who voted on it change of opinion?

The one who submitted the nomination, later sent a PM asking for the vote to be taken back. I know no more

[Nurahk]

Both to be honest.  The explorers are one of those guilds that have spurts of activity every few months.  Added to which, if you want to see an explorer, best place to find them is in the dev channel

Three years ago was their greatest time...just a little under three years...
I've been here too long

What if there are 17 guilds with several votes, then 5 more with a vote of one? Somehow 3 would have to be chosen from that latter group. I think there may be a time for the clear-cut systematic approach to pause - if there are no problems trusting the moderators to do a random choosing at that point (pull names from a hat, etc.) that may be the quickest way to move onto the poll.

Or another idea is to cap it at the 17 in that case? Just brainfarting

It is Playoff season, top 6 teams make the cut. If there is a tie for the final positions the tied guild leaders or their champions meet in the PVP room in a sudden death shoot-out - en mass or round robin.

sounds amazing but i hear calls of ic for ooc on the horizon.

[bilbous]

Well just create a sub-section of the RP board: Yliakum Gazette move the actual interviews there, keep OC questions and responses in [ ] but try to keep IC as much as possible. Problem solved!

Maybe once the in-game note making functionality is developed there could be an in-game edition.

active and promonent i have seen perhaps one person from explorers in pat 4 months i wouldnt say that either verry active or promnent.

[Karyuu]

You have seen one, but perhaps you are simply not looking The Explorers are an active guild, and I have seen Mordaan in the game just a few minutes ago.

[Narure]

They tend to boogy in the mountains. Being explorers and all.

[Eagel]

I'm a proud member of The Explorers... well... a recent member, but very proud 
If you can't see us around Harnquist it doesn't mean that we aren't in-game.
Take a tour at our site!!

Everyone got lazy with PMs. I've no choice but to put this on hold until I figure out a way to make people participate.

More likely than not, since the guild forum community isn't interested in choosing, the moderators will make spotlight choices on their own.

[Narure]

A third round started?! I was waiting to see the latest spotlight before voting again.

[LARAGORN]

It seems Karyuu that a new form of advertising is needed. Just like Narure, I didnt know the new voting stage had begun.

You did have a much better responce with the polling votes, maybe it would be best if you did select the guilds to vote on. Selecting 5 guilds per voting period would make the whole thing much more player friendly, then everyone could vote without trying to think of a new guild to nominate. A link to each guilds promo thread or website would give us all an easy way to learn of each new candidate.

[Raleigh]

Not selection then, I would say, put all the names of the guilds that can be nominated inside hollow balls, put them on a bingo machine and start turning it. Also you could make bets with people about which guilds would go on the game, and play a bingo after it. 

Or just make another way of random selection, of course a d100 isn't a very practical idea.

Or much easier, I'll send my nomination hoping it's not too late and you go send yours too.

[bilbous]

How about considering past nominations as being up for consideration for subsequent rounds? For the first week a poll for which two nominations should compete in the second weeks poll.
