Alright- first order of business. The guild "coffers". I'd love to set up a general fund for guild activities or individual members in need. The only thing is, we're gonna have to set up a few guidelines. You all know me- I hate rules. Rules take away fun and that's why we play together, but , even though we're courteous, it doesn't mean new members will be. I really want to try to avoid someone joining then grabbing some gold and moving on, so here's what I have (remember- withdrawls will only occur once base fund gets to 15k times the number of eligible members):

Guild Base Gold Fund- 26k

• Each member w/ (1) level 20 character is responsible for donating 1k per week
  
• Officers are encouraged to donate more if possible
  
• Members must be active members for at least (90) days
  
• Guild will pay the cost for (1) piece of elite armor(player responsible for mats) no more than once every (90) days -or-
  
• Guild will pay the cost for (1) set of 1k armor(player responsible for mats) no more than once every (60) days -or-
  
• Guild will defer half the cost of Superior Vigor rune no more than once every (60) days -or-
  
• Guild will pay for (10) Signets of Capture no more than once every (60) days
  
• Guild will consider withdrawl requests for special circumstances
  
• Guild will cover cost of minor runes and insignias for fresh members completely new to the game
  
• Guild will cover cost of scheduled event excursions(i.e. One Passage Scroll to the Deep for each participant)
  

Second, I'm trying to get a listing together of items we've amassed in our travels- obviously I will need help from the rest of you guys in completing the task. I don't want you to list the equipment that you're currently using, only those items that you may or may not use. This way, I figure, if one of us needs a weapon for ourselves(please, no heroes- unless approved) or dye for armor, then you can just post here to request it. So here's the list so far with what I have:

I am very in favor of a dues/rewards system. The goal and first step would be to work out a formula for X amount of members paying X amount and receiving X amount per every X amount. As the member base increases the factors for the other amounts would increase with it.

I don't see any problems with existing members being willing to pay however I see trouble with convincing a new recruit that has just joined the guild to pay to be a part of it.

If you could convince a new recruit that the rewards out-way the dues then I see no problem in your plan.

I personally like the idea of "play, participate, get rewarded."

I'd recommend:
First- Work out the exact plans for the rewards/dues system.
Second- Recruit, recruit, recruit.
Third- Make JSS the guild it once was. The guild I first joined many a year ago.

I'm in for whatever I can be of assistance in.

I can't add anything new to what you guys have going so far; but let it be known that you have my full support in this. I'm probably the least experienced when it comes to matters like the ones we're discussing here. Hell, I've been playing the same character for about 15 months straight (and loving every minute of it) across all 3 continents and I'll be playing the same through Eye of the North. I know I couldn't have survived this long, or wouldn't have enjoyed playing this long if it weren't for the friends acquired along the way. So, as far as Guild Business goes, shouldn't someone be honored to receive an invite to join a Guild of guys like us? And aren't we a tight enough group of friends to chip in whatever it takes to get this thing rolling?

My hardest task will be recruiting. I guess I'm a tad shy online. Perhaps some more experience will help work it out. I'll make a deal with our CORE members though... every time you sign a new Guild-mate, I'll donate 2K to the kitty...

Ahem! I just had a thought. OMG... it kinda hurts...
We could easily raise additional funding by doing the NightFall Treasure Chest runs on a monthly schedule. It would also afford the opportunity to conduct a Guild Hall meeting since we'd all be together at the time. I think my chest re-set date is around the 15th of the month... so maybe we could plan on OCT. 31st for our first Gold Rush.

YO! its me jason. Anways even though im a new member, i fully support this. I will also try to donate monthly if i can.

[Lýfelíëk Heroblãde]

Thanks to everyone for the materials donations! Along with the gold deposits, we came up with enough items to craft 33 Powerstones of Courage, 27 Grails of Might, 25 Essences of Celerity, 26 Armors of Salvation, and 45 Resurrection Scrolls! I can't stress how impressed I am- thanks to you all(and especially Suzuki for spearheading the operation) for your hard work and charity. Now may very well be the best this guild has ever been.

[Lýfelíëk Heroblãde]

Thanks to everyone for their dues over the last few months(and especially Kunoichi Kage for his large lump sum donation) which allowed us to purchase the second-to-last trader for our guild hall. Only 100 more platinum to go before it's fully maxed out!
