Guild structure

Insomnia is a horrible thing.

I don’t normally ask for comments to my posts, but this one is different. As I mentioned in a previous post, I have transferred my paladin back to Sen’jin and started a guild <Fury Untold>. The guild is still very new, and I am still finalizing many guild policies.

When I was still on Kael’thas and still in , I knew I wasn’t happy. For many reasons that I do t really care to go into. I have my two original 70′s on Sen’jin and I wanted to get everybody back together (well almost everyone).

During the time between me realizing that Entourage wasn’t working out and me purchasing my guild charter for Fury Untold, I did a lot of research. I have been a GM twice before, and was an officer and raid leader in other guilds. I took what experiences I had, and re knowledge I had gained since my last bout as a GM, and decided to try and make a place called my own on my home server.

I had it all planned out. Looting rules, officer structures, guild policies, the works. It boiled over in my head for weeks before I even left Kael’thas, not to mention when I was actually turning in the guild charter.

I hope that people in Fury Untold read this. I know the blog itself is new, just a month or two older than the guild. My original intent was a democratic guild with a board or officers that were appointed by me. Delegation was going to be a major part of my leadership style. I wanted to have my officers doing their specific jobs, so they would feel a bit of connection and involvement with the direction of the guild.

I wanted to have an even looting system, however I think I’ve decided against my original idea, as I want something more transparent as not I cause issues or confrontations directly at whoever is leading the raid.

I’d like to take a poll, specifically of any Fury Untold members that may read this, however I would love to hear from anyone. I have opened comments to unregistered users, so anybody can respond. Just make up a name and a email and give me your opinions. How do you like a guild run? Do you want a dictator making executive decisions? Or a comitee of officers that have meetings and take votes to decide what direction to move things? What about looting policies? We are going to remain a fairly casual guild for now, raiding 2-3 times a week once I can get the numbers met. So use that as your guideline for comments.
