Guild Discussion 1-Guild Leadership +Goals

[The Legendary Joe]

Can anyone you feel lead a guild?
I've met a few people who were decent leaders and somewhat motivationally inspiring to me.??However for the most part, most people cannot.

What kind of people should be leaders for a guild???
There's a certain amount of responsibility and Maturity that SHOULD come with being a guild leader. They have to be able to make tough choices and follow through on them once they've decided. I know some people are extremely sentimental/loyal towards their dead friends and asshole friends, but??sometimes you just gotta grow some balls and give them the boot.

It'd be nice if a guild leader could inspire loyalty in others.??Or be able to tell someone to do something and actually make them want to do it without resorting to threats and/or bribes. But I suppose that has to do a lot more with the guild's chemsitry more the the guild leader him/herself (I think.)

It'd also help if they were able to see the big picture, plan ahead and make sound, smart decisions when it comes to guild matters.


Does a guild need a goal it strives for to be successful, please give examples of why or why not if possible.
I suppose it would help if you had a goal, but if you ever reached that goal, it might hurt as well because hey! You reached your goal, what's keeping your members there with you? Nostalgia and friendship only go so far.

What does hearing the words "WoE guild" mean to you?
"*over ventrillo/some other voice chat program not included with your RO package* You lazy ass f***! You get here so and so minutes before??woe and get prepped! You get to stand in one spot??casting over and over and over and over for an hour!?DAMMIT! WHERE THE f*** IS teOx!!?! HE'S SLEEPING AGAIN!? Don't you even think of skipping or bailing or You won't have any rights to??guild treasures and we'llm kick you so you can't use the dungeon! Oh btw, we need you to do high end MVP's, but you won't get any of the loots because our Older guild members are more important than you n00b."

What does hearing the words "social guild" mean to you?
"Does this silk robe make my butt look fat? Anubis is so freaking hard! lololol real life stuffs lololol Duh-RAMA! I'm quitting??cuz I'll never be 99 Q.Q UNREQUITED INTERNET LOVE! Oka, you're paladin's way too colorful gtfo pls.CUTE HATS! Mining and fishing"

Do you feel that a person needs a guild to find success and fun within the game?
Do you feel a guild should be boring and a complete and total failure in everything? Of course not. Even if the guild really can't do much right, it's always best if they can have fun doing at least one thing right.

Does a guild in your opinion "end" if the leader(s) is/are not active anymore, or is it possible to find someone else to "pass the torch to" so they say?
Guild Morality really suffers if the leader isn't all that active. It's possibly, albeit unlikely that they may continue on in the guild simply because of all the wonderful friends they made there.Passing the torch??is??risky.??No matter who you choose, the guild chemistry will never be the same once the original leader is gone. there's no telling wether it'll be a success or not.

Most cases I've seen, the people from dead guilds leave the said dead guild and remake and inviting all their friends and new people.
