RSBandB Group (To be possibly) Discussion

Jasonmrc · **Posted:** June 19th, 2007, 9:44 am

Well its Late June and that's when we decided we would bring this topic back up.

Here's the link to the first Disscussion thread. If you don't remember the disscussion or didn't read it I suggest reading the whole topic before posting on this one.

Well anyway, In that topic we talked about setting up a RSBandB Group /Clan. Not nessecerily a pking / pure one but mainly a skilling and fun clan.

This thread is for disscussion about possibly making one and to see how many people would support it and help lead / create it.

Here's a quote from Shane from the last thread.

Shane wrote:

At first I was going to lock this because it seemed as though there was not enough traction for this to happen. Mike and I would be perfectly fine with this going ahead if someone stepped up to lead it and design a good looking website.

The requirements to join would be provided by Mike and myself. Pretty much everything else would be able to be decided by the leadership.

We don't need offers for hosting the group site if we do go through with this. I would think Mike and Shane would host it here and if they didn't then those who are going to lead this will decide where to host it.

Please post all comments.

Also let me note that this is a Group and not a clan, so hopefully their wouldn't be too much problem with Clan rules.
Also this would be an add-on to RSBandB, something you could join if you wanted to, not something forced upon you.

I will add a list of all the people who volunteered on the last thread and who support it later.

Supporters: 4

I'm still borderline on it.

The whole thing makes the Events crew useless and pointless to have. IF a clan was to go ahead, then i'd prefer to see the crew merge into it and become apart of running it. In other words i'd like some of the crew to become a council for it, or at least having some form of part in running it. And i'd prefer if myself and Shane was the ones to pick that seen as we know who would be good.

Leadership would need to be carefully picked as well, a lot of work has gone into the EC and i'm not going to stand by willingly and let it go to hell because of bad leaders who can't find the time or manage a clan properly, not after the work the crew has done.

I know i sound bossy on it but after the work we've done with the crew, i don't want to see it get walked over and replaced with something that could turn out to be a lot worse i'd at the very least like to have a say in a couple of matters if it was to go ahead.

I'm indifferent on the idea but maybe it could allow for more control over who can come to the rsbandb events? Might stop new members flooding in when we have drop parties etc etc.

I think we don't need a clan, we have the EC.

Jasonmrc · **Posted:** June 19th, 2007, 10:14 am

We wouldn't want to destroy the Events Crew, they're very good and make good events.

But a group would allow lower level people to attend (and win) certain events that being singular doesn't allow them to do. Like helping others with wildy clues...That's one thing that one person can't do and the EC would not be harmed by it. And there's other things that a group / clan could do that would not harm the EC or effect them.

And the Events Crew could work alongside the group as been mentioned in the last thread. It would make sense for the EC to have some position in the Group since all the people in the EC are creative with activity ideas.

But all opinions for the creation of a group are wanted so everyone post what you think.

Make the EC head of the clan, they would still be doing the same job.

I've been in a clan since January and I like that bunch, they're cool. If my Rsbandb job suddenly got turned into a clan they might get mad at me for double clanning..

Brandt · **Posted:** June 19th, 2007, 10:47 am

yeah, i kinda agree with kelsey on that. Anyone who is already in a clan probably wouldnt be able to join this one, even if it isnt a full clan, because their other one wouldnt allow them to be in both.

CreepyPirate · **Posted:** June 19th, 2007, 10:48 am

Just call it something else. Isn't a clan then.

Jasonmrc · **Posted:** June 19th, 2007, 11:13 am

'Tis what i've been saying, Group not clan. I know that a clan would interfere with almost everyone's clans' rules, that's why it wouldn't be a clan. It'd be kinda like a side job except not a job.

And Kelsey i'd like to remind everyone that Shane already said RSBandB will not be turning into a clan / group. This group idea will be an add-on.

Shane wrote:

Rsbandb wouldn't be converted into a pking clan. It would house one that people would have the option to join.

So if it'd be a group not a clan and it'd be an add-on not a change what are your thoughts now that we have that straightened out?

Anubis · **Posted:** June 19th, 2007, 11:21 am

Well I know I'd join it. Not the pking one because I think PvP on rs is severely unbalanced, but I'd like to attend more RSBandB only events, currently I can't come to many because they tend to be done on weekends. (Good for everyone but me, it seems. XD)

I still don't like the idea of the EC and this.

The active users here is very small. Two things offering events and such is going to affect it. No matter what. I don't think we have enough active users to spread out across two groups and even if you plan your events around ours, people are still going to Opt to go to one or the other and spend the other time doing soemthing irl or another hobby.

Having both will never work out in my book. It's like having an rsbandb magazine, it'd directly rival the newspaper no matter what.

It would take time to get good leader ship. But it would be good.

I can understand your concern about the EC.

I believe the users that go to RSBandB would increase.

And I think we could arrange the events to work out right. Most of the EC's events are on weekends like Anubis said so if the group did events on the weekends then we'd have problems. But if we did events during the week then it wouldn't effect the EC.

It would take some planning between the EC and the group but I believe it could be done.

CreepyPirate · **Posted:** June 19th, 2007, 12:10 pm

That would work but the events crew is constantly changing and expanding. Our newest weekly event i wanted to be on a weekday, it was planned to be on a weekday. But because of a few problems it was put as a weekend one instead.

But the point i'm trying to make is, we may have more events come out that take weekday spots, we have new ideas we want to use and our current events can and more than likely will be changed around at some point. Weither that be days or times because of popularity rates.
