Hello... gentlemen. Please take your seats and we'll begin. Basically this discussion will be open to the Captain and vice captain's of Spektral. To avoid congestion I would like to establish a rotation system which will allow everyone their time to post and say what they feel. Our first order of business will be on the matter of:

Spektral's Homepage

Other orders of business after this will be:

Spektral School Description
Ways to Spread Word of Our Guild
PostPosted: Fri Aug 24, 2007 10:06 pm


SHADOW'S OPINION SO FAR:

It seems as though everyone already thinks that OFB's illustration is what it looks like. And the way that Canti described it, with it's marble white s**t and stuff, it's like pure concrete imaging.
That's why I said that I like both of your ideas and that there should be a way of fusing them together.
It could look futuristic on the inside, but this castle on the outside.
Almost like an Oreo cookie. Different on the inside, the norm of Nabisco cookies on the outside.

That seems to take care of the school description problem.

Moving onward.

The Homepage design.

There are so many ideas that I have. Obviously the school illustration is going to be placed in the middle upper of the page with the Title of the Guild on the top center.
That's the default idea, no matter what, we have that included on the design layout.

Placing our picture's doesn't seem appropriate. True, that this is my guild and that you can argue with me all day about me having a picture.
But this couldn't be possible if everyone didn't participate.
People helped to make this guild happen.
And damn it, if I'm going on the page, you all are too.

I was thinking also of placing a Chinese Dragon on both the left and the right sides of the page in an appearance which seems to make it look like it's going up, and have a black background.
Red could be the color, but there can also be other colors if we don't get along.
It could also be a gold power beam if we could find it.
I don't know about the previous' though.

The school description will be placed below the picture of the school.
It will be tabbed a few times so that it leaves a nice space and makes it look a little professional.

Sound good so far?

Yeah that's impossible, if you'd like to do it, knock yourself out. Also a castle sounds stupid and nullifies my entire description I made for the school, it's buildings, and the entire area around it so I guess I can trash that now can't I? And never say that we're done with something, this is all of us debating on what we should have, not you saying something and leaving it at that. Also for the the love of god Chris I already said we were all going on, to wrapped up with you arguing about taking your picture off to put mine on and the shop I get that kind of art from is under construction so I couldn't place an order. Also you passed up everything that was important for the homepage...

DESCRIPTION,
RULES, AND
HOW TO JOIN!

Description meaning of Spektral itself and what it is like. Not what it looks like, but what we had before for the homepage which is what I had on my homepage. Also you knew about it to because we were discussing it's style through PM's and I had offered and you gave no objections to it until you saw your picture which in turn, removing it ruins the entire page. I mean god damn just because it's your picture and everybody helped doesn't mean they didn't help. You didn't even thank me for taking my time out of the day for a couple hours to get all of that done. I've done a lot for this guild and it goes unnoticed all the time, I'd like to see us take care of that or else I'll stop doing things for the guild.

The homepage was made off of SDRP's ideas of what 'we' could do to improve our guild. I've seen another RP guild who coincidentally had the same layout as I did for my homepage. Looks like I'm not the only who thinks it's a good design, also to what OFB said about my new design being juvenile, that really hurt, I hope you know that. You never helped do anything as far as I know and Chris you never did anything so go ahead and do your design if you want. Also regarding what you said:



Quote:
I don't know about the previous' though.


Says to me that you're only thinking of the future and not of the past. I thought mine was pretty damn good and if no one can recognize that and I know that's not the big issue here than, I'll stop doing everything for this guild all together. The school illustration, would only be OFB's idea and not mine because if it's a castle on the outside than it's a castle, my idea would be trash like I said before.

OFB
change it man the other one was so cool

now it looks juvenile

where supposed to work together

not just make random moves like that

wtf man

change it


Yeah that was me, too. 'I' made that for the guild and I went on to improving it, just like how I made a guide for RP'ing that went unnoticed and that is now gone. Just like I did the homepage, this debate is turning a corner to the entire guild now. I'm not putting up with it anymore, we're going to work on improving it only I won't be doing the construction from now on like I've done for so long. There, that covers the school description, the homepage, and I added my little part because I felt like it, I'm not in the mood to deal with this s**t anymore and we're not holding off on improving the guild anymore. You'll be the one doing it though, not me.

These are mere ideas Nick. Whatever image we decide for the picture of the school, we'll go with it. The whole Categories of DESCRIPTION, RULES, and HOW TO JOIN, are default. We all seem to know that those three are obvious, on the page.
It's not my picture Nick. And we need something concrete for the school. The last not changed image had a photo of the school. It seemed to me to look as though it was from the last academy that we both belonged to.

That's not what I meant when I said "about the previous", I meant about the previous ideas that I just stated.
I wanted to see what you thought. True, your last layout seemed to be really good and I recognize it.

What can we do to modify this to come to an understanding as to make this whole thing so that not just one person agrees but EVERYONE does.

This way everyone doesn't keep changing their ideas around, as you and OFB seem to keep doing.
To tell you the truth I'm getting sick and tired of everyone flaming around here.
I have to already hear impervious comments at school and at home. To hear them here, that is not necessary and I'm not going to deal nor tolerate it.

This guild isn't just a school anymore. It offers more than just that.

I want to make this into a guild that everyone can enjoy.

I'm not being critical here. If I was to say that your layout looked like s**t, I would have said it already.

But I never said it, I just said that there could be something that we could do to make it look newer and improved.

If you are going to continue to flame me, what will that accomplish? I hear worse s**t than what you are saying to me.

If you quit, what will that accomplish? You are always going to be here, I asked to arrange a meeting here so that we can all get this whole thing over with, I haven't flamed you yet and already you've done it to me on four occasions.

I'm not a demanding person, but when you get into the real world, you'll realize that your boss is going to be more demanding than I am. I will look to be more of a chump compared to him.


So Nick that leaves the question:

If you could alter anything to your old layout, what would it be? If you wanted to make it look more attractive, or better to look at physically, what would you change?


If it's nothing, then what can we do? Change the lettering ink? Put a few more photos, some art perhaps?
Since you're on the board, and since that also includes OFB and Dalkio, I'll have to order a separate photo that has all of us in a group shot.

But that all depends if you're going to still be with us.

The description that I had just put down last post was the dream front page that I would make should you have accidentally erased or simply don't have the front page code anymore.

I called this meeting to make everyone's ideas heard. Quit the flaming, because it's not helping.

Truth be told, I liked your old layout, but something just made me feel as though something was missing, something that I'm unable to grasp at the moment, but something big was missing from it.

That photo that was used on the homepage of the BLA thread was also at one point used on the homepage here too.
That's what I meant in the last post at that part.
PostPosted: Sat Aug 25, 2007 6:24 pm


Ahh yes, you don't know what, but something is missing. Well you keep wondering that staying up all night trying to find out the meaning behind it all. Any who, flaming was just a good way to get you riled up and make me happy, sorry about that wink Let's see then... Yeah either I don't have my homepage code anymore or I titled it something ridiculous that had nothing to do with it that would make it impossible to recognize. Being to lazy to check I guess we'll never have it, I did try making it again, but well spending all those hours again isn't something I would want to do mrgreen Also I will not lie to you, I did think of quiting, but I'm not that kind of person. I'm not a quitter I'm a winner!!! scream 3nodding Arguing is getting boring, I'll wrap this up. Do what you want, SDRP said that our problem is we're all friends and brothers, with that comes the problem. Here's what SDRP said about it.

Quote:
It's hard enough to get a guild going when all the crew like each other.


In that lies the problem, we're the only active members aside from some others and we're all brother and friend. Go find someone who isn't your friend or brother to be a part of the crew 3nodding

You don't just make someone a Vice Captain. So, how about Ninja Cat Momo? Let's have her breathe fire down your neck all the day how about that Nick?
PostPosted: Sat Aug 25, 2007 6:51 pm


In fact, that way I could have someone to keep YOU in line. I'm way too nice, but she isn't. Besides that would also fulfill her dream unless I quit this guild forever.

I don't get that and you think of crew as vice captain because we're the only active crew rofl we have most of our crew inactivity. A few quit playing as well, not quiting the guild for some reasons. Ninja's gone, I don't know why you got mad at me for banning her. She only had six posts and was never on, I did not appreciate the scolding I got! xp Still don't get your post though 3nodding
PostPosted: Sat Aug 25, 2007 6:59 pm


Eleven Posts, and I could just-I don't know-Invite her back to the guild.

I'm verryy surprised that you didn't get that Nick. Very Surprised. I can just promote her twice once she's accepted and that's how that get solved.

Once she's vice, she can flame you for me. If you ban her, I could just-I don't know- Unban her and have her accepted again.

In a repeated cycle.

Besides, that makes sense because you hate her, and well, we don't have anyone else who doesn't at least like one of us.

Unless...you can think of someone.

Can you Nick?

When did I say I hate her? Also 11 posts isn't a lot when she was in the guild from the very beginning, don't put words in my mouth. I don't care if she flames me, I'd just ignore her, simple as that. What's your problem?
PostPosted: Sat Aug 25, 2007 7:12 pm


You want NCM to flame Canti for you? Finally get tired of fighting a losing battle?

But if Momo was willing to actually RP every once and a while and not just complain about how bad everyone elses RP'ing is it would be great to have someone of her Calibur in the guild 3nodding
PostPosted: Sat Aug 25, 2007 7:42 pm


I can offer you two examples. The first post after my first post and the other one being, well you deleted it and replaced it, but it was there.
I have nothing against pictures, I just think that you all should be there with me. You all are after all my associates and the crew are too.
We need to factor you all in too, it just doesn't seem right to me just to have myself on the guild. I already have a few accounts of God Modding myself.

I don't want to be the Sun metaphorically in the guild, have everyone revolve around me.

Masterson, as long as I am at least a vice captain you will never have anything to fear about people thinking the guild revolves around you. When I say this I mean not to offend but let you know that you are not and most likely will not be falsly assumed to be a "Sun" as Ra already has this position covered. Jokes aside if you would feel better to have all the higher ups on the front page then it can be worked on. Of course the meek shall inherit the earth and thus we could also recognize the active Crew members by placing their pictures on the front page as an honor.
