Ex-Members wanting to re join

Gorion · March 04, 2007, 12:33:32 PM

VairÃ« just contacted me about it, anyone has any info on why he/she left?

0 posts on the forum account, dont know who it is :S

Donniekingo interested also

According to warcraftrealms, VairÃ« got unguilded around when we cleaned up for inactives.. Thats all I can find..

That, and he is in the guild roster. (Recently added?)

Bob · March 04, 2007, 01:22:08 PM

According to WarcraftRealms he left about a week and a half ago, didn't join any other guilds when he left it seems. When I did a search for VÃ¤ire on the forum, I found that he still is listed in the [post=177717]Guild Roster[/post] thread, so obviously we didn't even notice that he left. I also found [post=116869]his application[/post] in the archive, and also a post he made in the [post=157629]Characters on Aszune[/post] thread (he is registered on the forum with the account NielsChr), and you can see that he is the other one of Nefertem's brothers.

I guess it couldn't hurt to invite this one back in again. You can ask Nefertem if he knows why he left in the first place.

About DonnieKingo, I don't see much problem with him returning, especially since we have the offer to take back former members until 15th of March. He was a nice bloke, as far as I can remember.

However, could it be that perhaps we should shorten the period for how long we will accept members back in? As stated in [post=177645]this thread[/post] in the public section, we said we were gonna hold that opportunity open till the 15th of March. Now that for instance Redemption seems to be falling apart already, do we really want to have people coming back, not because they miss SOG, but just because they screwed things up in their new guild?

I don't think it would be a problem to remove that thread from the public section now. If any former "good" members want to return, that won't be much of a problem as soon as we decide to open up for "friend's" invites again anyhow...

I have no problems with DK - provided he doesn't take my slot in any raids

only j/k - but he WILL have my slot - his hunter is much further progressed than mine.

Had a quick chat with Gorion in officers channel today, and VairÃ¤ contacted me later in the evening, so he is now back in the guild.

Gorion · March 05, 2007, 07:29:15 PM

donniekingo + sheepy re invited

Sandrion also asked to join

Bob · March 05, 2007, 10:55:48 PM

I'm glad to see both DK and Sheepy back in the guild, and I will also much like to see Sandrion back here. They were all good members of SOG

But I would just like to briefly repeat what I said in a post above:

I know we have set the date on the 15th of March, and it's not that many days left, but I wouldn't like too much if we suddenly get a big rush of folks returning now, just because Redemption is breaking up. Now I'm very glad we got back these three, and I guess there might also be perhaps one or two more in Redemption I wouldn't mind having back (don't know though, have no idea who's still left in there), but I guess there are also some that I definitely don't want to see in the guild again.

Now it wouldn't be harder than we just are picky about who to re-invite, but than what reason should we give to those we deny? I mean, since we set the date like that, it would seem pretty mean to show just some off, even though we might not like 'em...

Any thoughts?

arrgh.. my mind.. such a good piont.. no comment atm.

Sheperdbook · March 06, 2007, 09:01:45 AM

I'd say treat it as a one on one basis. We have a fair idea who the idiots are and we know who most of the nice people are. I'd say only take back the 'nice' ones and be done with peeps we don't really know until, if we do, start a new general recruitment drive.

Only problem is that we'll get a moan from someone in guild about someone outside not being allowed back in but really I don't see that as a huge problem.

Lucian · March 06, 2007, 05:15:57 PM

Whatever we decide I think we should be transparent. Sandrion and Sheepy were good, helpful players, and if they reapplied independently after we'd end up recruiting them anyway.

I say admit them both, AND go for a one by one basis. Just be transparent.

Gorion · March 06, 2007, 05:31:41 PM

p.s sheepy was invited the moment he asked for it, i met him irl too, hese a good bloke

Bastet · March 20, 2007, 09:43:59 PM

Yupp he left way before (even before the skeg crew left) and not in the best way possible. Anyhow, i dont think he would be elligable for the TBC member return thingy.
