Subject: Um, I didn't mean to post that without test, I accidentally hit "enter"...anyway....here we go
In reply to: Mr. Phule 's message, "Since we have a new board, I'm reposting this.... "Thoughts on the the new SH"" on 18:04:08 06/07/99 Mon

I revised a few things, as well.....


If we want to avoid what happened to the old SH, we should probably start fleshing out ideas and plans now so that when Diablo 2 finally rolls around, we'll be all set to go and will have the clan up and running yet not have to worry about being distracted. :-)

At the moment, the list of probable members includes the following. If I forget someone, my deepest apologies. Just let me know, please!

They are, in no particular order. (Well, the order that I remember them)

Me (Phule)
Drake
Chip
Punk
Emrys
Tseng
Marx
Master
Anthrax
Camel
Ryan
Goku

That's all I can think of at the moment, although I am very sure that there are more. As I said, I'm very sorry I've forgotten you, but it's late and it's been a very long day. Not really an excuse, but at least it's an explanation.

At the moment, rumors of the possible "clan halls" have been confirmed. Each clan will be allowed to get a hall, and the colors/crest/whatever can be designed. One person has total control of the hall, including a list of people who are allowed into the hall, which can store money and items.

This person can be replaced diplomatic/like with votes and what have you.

Also, it may interest you to know that Drake and I decided that if it looks like this clan is doing really well, we'd go ahead and split the cost of getting our own domain name.

How'd you like the clan website to be something like www.haven.com?

Then we wont have to put up with pop-ups or banners or anything like that. That, and the fact that it'd be just plain cool. Heh heh heh.

Anyway, back to the clan....

I think the way it's gonna work is as follows. We'll have the houses, each with the housemasters, that goes unchanged. There will be a council. The number of seats on the council has not yet been determined, butit probably shouldn't be more than 5. I would suggest keeping it at 3.

And then there will be the Hall Master, who runs the clan hall. This person can't be on the council, and wont be in a house. This person needs to be the definition of the word "active" and needs to be really responcible as well. Drake and I have a few names we're kicking around for the slot, and if anyone wants the job and/or has a suggestion for someone to take it, please let us know.

Stickin' with the clan houses, my only concern is that we'll have some idiot join the clan, enter the hall, loot it, and then leave. So I want to have a really long cool-down time from when someone joins the clan until they are allowed into the hall. I threw out the idea of waiting a full month. It's a really long time, I know...but it will prevent someone from taking all our good items. Shortening the time is only asking for trouble.

Otherwise, we're officially starting debates on the topic. If you wanna go ahead and try and decide who's gonna be a housemaster/council member/hallmaster we can start doing that. I want to refrain from voting, if possible. This should be more something of a general consensus. We really need to get the BEST people for the council slots, not the most powerhungry.

They need to be active, reliable, and willing to put up with all the little things that keep popping up. If you can't promise that you'll never just disappear with no reason, I wouldn't suggest placin' ya on the council. Nothin' personal, but we had problems like that before and it just caused a whole world of hurt.

Anyway, this is getting a bit lengthy, so I'll close on that note. Just start throwing out suggestions. At the moment, there are no ranks, so you don't have to worry about that, although I want to stress that since we are all equal at the moment, nobody is better than anyone else, so if you disagree with someone, be polite about it. :-)
