Guild Mission / Re: Guild Mission Restructure
« Last post by Tamerlayne on November 30, 2014, 09:59:03 pm »
Saturday nights are the night to watch/catch up on taped TV with the Wifey (especially live TV sessions during Dr. Who seasons), but may be ok to log on for a few hours just for guild missions if am home.
Sundays are regular chores / get ready for work week / 'Honey-Do lists' etc.
I follow Barcelona/Argentina/Brazil. top-end Futbol, so weekends are catch up time and Mondays are bad.
Tuesday = Game releases.
Wednesday/Thursday/Sunday = work nights.
Fridays are best for me unless out of town; but not best for guild mission reset times.

One or 2 of the founders plus any needed 'officers'? - Stalv or Miranda plus 1 other or Exo+Balth, Stalv+Exo, etc. I.e. 2 people on with permissions would be good. 1 to help run things / 2 to do invites & administrative stuff.

I have used mostly Skype/Ventrilo -- used to join FotM's RaidCall and been the only member on -- maybe we can get a real VOIP or piggyback on someone server's Ventrilo? A VOIP service to have "our own space" is good to get to know one another / even better to co-ordinate things (much faster to hit 1 key to ask for "helpers" if everyone on it than type in guild chat).
 

Miranda, from your schedule there:
1. When you say not able to join "raidcall" (a VOIP program), could you join but only listen and do administrative stuff?
2. Any times later on Sunday night? I can log on just for Sunday guild times if know when (vacations etc. permitting) -- would cramp my 'honey-do list' but whatever.
3. Any times later on Saturday night? Stalv posted Sat times that don't coincide with yours and Sat day time = suckage for guild missions, Friday night be better and same deal = just before guild reset times.
4. See Below about running twice and hopefully we can run 2 times -- once for guild to get everything done and once for members to get rewards.


Why not do 2 nights? 1 night to get every thing done (imagine 4-6 hours to get everything done for guild especially with 'stops', getting everyone to next WP, getting groups together/organized, etc/re-running a bounty tier 3 to get people their merits (though could say "show up XX night for the make up night)  and another night to get everyone what they missed / need. Challenge and Puzzle require more people than we can currently muster; Challenge and Bounty get people 2 merits and Rush/Puzzle only get people 1 merit.

Exo, when is good for you?


--Bounty Training is really only for guild influence; is 3,000 at a 300 cost and 3 days build time so only good for getting the guild influence if needed (not enough 100% rep members actively on playing the game). Trek is only for merits and eventually we won't do or just do a tier 1 for the merits depending on what guild wants to build. Build times are important; if we could eventually have enough people logging on / repping 100% we could speed up builds and build all the missions desired for a week and also build a guild heroes banner or 2 for every guild mission plus have hopefully enough to build every +% guild % (not banners) for Guild + karma/MF what also may be desired and also maybe also a guild world event (week build time, ugg)



Quick question for everyone "officer-wise":
What are you wanting to do guild missions for?
Stalv:
Miranda:
Exo:
Vari:
Tamer: Help out, don't need the commendations. If you need commendations Bounty+Challenge = 4, Puzzle = Forever for only 1 and Rush = forever for Guild for only 1.

So, here are the times I think I could make it, assuming I don't have company staying with me for the holidays:

Saturday morning: 8am - 11am PST
Saturday afternoon: 2pm - 5pm PST
Sunday morning/day: 7am - 3pm PST

I could also make it Monday evening, but I'm sure that would be inconvenient for most people.

If I must I can come up with more times to play and lose a couple of hours of family time but I would not be able to join on RC if I do so.

LA is usually good -- so people have gates to the major cities and there are 3 exits. Centrally located also.

Coriolis Plaza by the city gates in LA can be good.

I work M-F and am EST, usually home and settled in by 6-8pm (depends on wife's schedule / what we are doing for dinner etc).

So 3pm PST would be the earliest during the week, Friday nights are the best for me, Sundays am usually on for a bit and Saturdays am usually not on much -- RL > Game and all.

For the game, Fridays are not that great as the guild missions reset on Saturday's -- so moving them to Sunday may be better.

Holidays / Vacations / etc. of course interfere.

U may want to put up links to Dulfy's guides for guild missions; pretty well done.

Guild Mission / Guild Mission Restructure
« Last post by Stalvros on November 29, 2014, 06:53:19 pm »
Greetings fellow FOTM members.
This thread is created to discuss the best timing for Guild Mission!

So, without further ado, lets discuss the best time that every officer can make
for the Guild Mission! As of the moment, we have unlocked;
- Guild Trek
- Guild Bounty
- Guild Rush

And the current schedule for the Guild Mission would be;
- 1x Guild Trek lvl 2
- 3x Guild Bounty Training
- 1x Guild Bounty
- 1x Guild Rush

So in total, we'd need about 2hrs allocation for the Guild Mission alone.
(Subjected to change once we have unlocked more missions)

Please discuss the time available for you guys.
For the sake of 'speaking the same time zone', we'd be using PACIFIC STANDARD TIME.
Please use the following website to convert YOUR time zone to the PST time zone;
http://www.worldtimebuddy.com/pst-to-est-converter

Additional Note 01;
If you guys have some spare time, as much as possible, try to do the guild bounty training as well?
(Just do a random unscheduled run with fellow members of FOTM for the fun of it?)
We could really use the influence. All of the Fractal Herald has the power to activate the guild mission.
Just make sure to leave 'Guild Bounty Training X 3' for the actual Guild Mission.
We can always build it up to a max of 10. Ultimately later on, we need to save up until 1 million influence
points to unlock our own Guild House should Anet implement it just like in Guild Wars 1.

Additional Note 02;
Try to recruit as many members as possible. Each of the Fractal Founder and Herald are able to send guild
invites to any members. If they just want to participate for the Guild Mission every week, then just rank
them as Fractal Helper. If they want to join for good, just rank them according to their Fractal PR as usual.

Guild Mission;

Now that we have TREK and BOUNTY, we would need to set up a time for everyone to meet.
Does anyone have any idea? My suggestion = Saturday morning my time (GMT+7) around 7am.
Assuming that most lives in US, we should be about 13 hours different so that's about 7pm Friday night for you guys.
In any case, I'm open to suggestion. We have our very own RC and stuff so, I think we can do it.

I'm quite inexperienced though in terms of TREK.
Bounty, we just need to find those targets.
In any case, just remember that our main aim for the guild is to get as much INFLUENCE and BADGE so that we can
start unlocking puzzle, challenge as well as rush! If you can see from the guild upgrades, we have a lot of guild training
builds as well as guild bounty training. We can do those to earn those badges and influence. Hope I can have your support
in this.

PS:Based on discussion;
Miranda - Friday 7pm to 9pm
Stalvros - Saturday 8am to 10am
Exo Evelyn Ex - Saturday 3am to 5am

Member clean-up;

We also need to clean-up the members.
If you notice, we have about 300+ members but only 20-30 online.
That needs to change.
We seek quality, not quantity.

Next game plan;
1st - Recruit up to 500 members
2nd - To those who wish to join but does not have enough room, we're going to have to kick out some of the inactive ones.
(Start from those who has not login for 'unknown' period of time and then after that, 8 months inactive, 7 months, etc.)
(DO NOT start letting go of members if we have not yet reached 500 members)

Welcome to the guild of Fractals Of The Mind / Restructuring The Guild

- Miranda
- Varientex
- Exo Amira Ex

Glad to have you on-board.
In any case, as I've mentioned before, we are going to restructure the guild with the main goal as
'Getting everyone to rep 100% of the guild FOTM' and I need all of your help in this.
As previously mentioned, I have created a new rank in the guild called 'Fractal Helper' and removed 'Fractal Matrix'.
If you notice, 'Fractal Ninja is now PR50-79'.

So, the purpose of this new position is for those members who;
A - does not wish to represent the guild 100%
B - still wish to be part of the guild
C - like to help us with the guild mission

The main reason for this plan is to achieve our goal.
Reasoning is as follows - we can't just ask everyone to rep 100% immediately or kick them out. That would prove disadvantageous for our guild as we would
lose members as well as our reputation. But, we can't also be unfair to those members who wish to rep 100%, so this is what we're going to do. For those who
wish to rep the guild 100% (aside from you officers), we'll rank them accordingly still by the PR rank, and for those who doesn't wish to do so will fall under the
category of 'Fractal Helper'. This will also help in the future where guild members can just chat in guild 'LF4M FOTM49' instead of having to PM all the respective
rank one by one.

So, the steps that needs to be taken;
1st - We need to ask the current members if they wish to remain as FOTM members or FOTM helpers (That would require us to PM/Mail everyone)
2nd - We need to advertise the guild more and get more helpers do help us with the current guild mission
3rd - We need to organize guild missions. At the moment we have bounty and treks! But hopefully with enough members we can eventually unlock puzzle, rush and challenge.
4th - Later on, we can even build guild events and do our own TEQ or triple headed wurms!
5th - For future plan (Not confirmed but we might as well prepare for it), we can even buy our own guild home? Rumors has it, it will cost about 2M Influence

In any case, I think this is the best game-plan we have at the moment.
Again, feel free to discuss whatever concerns you have regarding this.
With regards to 2nd point, I can do the advertisement and recruit more members but I need your help with regards to the 1st point.
I suggest we should split the task?
Miranda - PM/Mail all the Fractal Master and Ninja
Varientex - PM/Mail all the Fractal Knights and Captain
Exo Amira Ex - PM/Mail all the Fractal Squire and Soldier

Include this message in the mail;
Dear all members, first we would like to thank all the members for all the support given. Thanks to you, we have finally achieved the maximum rank possible for our guild. Our next plan would be to make the guild more active by having more members rep the guild 100%. Thus, we urgently require your response if you still wish to be the main member of the guild. Note that if you cannot rep the guild 100% or unable to reply within a week, your rank will be changed to Fractal Helper.
(Let me know if you have a better way to put this)

Note;
Please remember/write down who you PM/Mail. If we do not receive any reply within 1 week, just demote them to Fractal Helper.
The format of the write down should be like this;

Members                                          Sent Mail                                           Reply
- MemberA.1234                               (Sent)                                                (Received)
- MemberB.1234                               (Sent)                                                -
- MemberC.1234                               -                                                        -
- MemberD.1234                               -                                                        -

Again, I ask you guys to help me to make this guild one of the most AWESOME guild that exist within the realm of Guild Wars 2!
After that, we may be able to think about WvW by having all active members transfer to one server.
We can raise funds as well and help pay for all the members, but that's another plan for the future :).
Let us start with FOTM first. Do not forget that we have DOTM as well as GOTM later on :).
