Ex-Members wanting to re join

[spiritus]

true.. he left a looong time ago.. to join another raiding guild, think he was thinking of us as slow progress. and took a shortcut.. but why would he want to come back. we haven't even started raiding. if it's for social reason i don't see a problem.. might see how he reackt if we tell him we ain't raiding yet.

[Bob]

As we as of yet haven't opened up for "regular" invites again, I would say no.

[Othbarty]

Id say no too, and say that he could have an eye on our forums for when we open for Applications.

[Lucian]

I'm with that idea. No, if only to make it clear that he can't expect special treatment having left previously.
 
EDIT: On another point, it's interesting to note the increasing numbers of people wanting to rejoin.

[spiritus]

yeah lucian  it's positve
and i would edit my answer about snow: giv him a NO, and inform him we're not inviting atm. but we'll inform him when and if we start inviting pll back.

redemption ate dust, and some seem to regret leaving

[Lucian]

Yes, and I've seen some ex redemption raiding Karazhan under the tag of Genesis, something the Genesis people said wouldn't happen quickly.

[TeaLeaf]

something the Genesis people said wouldn't happen quickly.

Just a reminder, none of the advisors here are Genesis officers and we have zero say on recruitment policy.  The views we reflected at the time were those of the officers of Genesis as passed on to us by them.  It would appear that their views, like the membership list, are subject to change without notice.

TL.

[Lucian]

Sorry TL if 'the Genesis people' seemed like I was referring to or the others.  I did of course mean the officers running Genesis.
 
'like the membership list' is a telling remark I feel.  Says a lot about the nature of the guild.
 
Based on this, and comments I have heard from others, I would maybe suggest that SOG's officers rethink the extent to which we might want to work with them.  Some help (the tours for example, would be highly beneficial) is welcome, but we shouldn't become dependent upon it.

[TeaLeaf]

I would agree that you need to be careful not to become an adjunct to Genesis, but I do not think you are.  Where offers of one-way help ar emade, take them, you've got nothing to lose.  My feelings about joint chat channels on the other hand are not the same as they are not one-way and you expose yourself to some risk there.

TL.

PS: The membership list I was referring to was the Genesis one, not the SOG one.  We have also had several departures - Marduk, Vargen, Spi and others.  For a small guild the Genesis turnover is currently a higher percentage than SOG's.

[Gorion]

V left? were did he go to?
 
re the channels, yeah ive been thinking and rethinking and more thinking on it lately,
 
so far didnt talk with mene yet. what i vision for is a channel were sog and some ex sog can talk to eachother easily, say like what the class channels used to be

[TeaLeaf]

Vargen moved on to Sora.

TL.

[Othbarty]

Hmm, just a thing i have been thinking about, should we get a seperate place we post member related stuff, such as new/old members wanting to rejoin? I feel posting in one thread or in the general bit is a bit... messy...?

[Bob]

:withstupid:
Have thought the same thing myself, but I think that thought got stuck in one of my internal buffers or something

But a sub-forum for member-related issues, and perhaps also one for raid stuff, in addition to the general forum, wouldn't be too bad.

[Lucian]

Yea, add them to agenda for the next TS meeting
