Housekeeping Update

Hi, everyone. Today's housekeeping post is about two things. First, I'd like to talk about our use of Discord. Then, I have an announcement about a new Guild Removal Policy we'll implement shortly.

So, Discord is a communication app designed for gamers. Since Territory Battles began, it became imperative that guild members communicate with one another as efficiently as possible. And, although we've fallen short on Territory War entries as of late, these, too require an even higher degree of communication to organize ourselves. What's more, Guild Chat makes talking with your guildmates very difficult, since you can't readily see who is online to strike up a conversation, not to mention the time lag.

With all this in mind, we've decided to use Discord in earnest. Ryer has set up a server for our guild, which means we've got our own space, complete with various chat channels. I encourage everyone to take advantage of Discord. It makes the gaming experience much more fun and, in the long run, it will help us work together as a guild. When you're finally on Discord, let us know in Guild Chat and we'll send you an invite!

Next, our Guild Removal Policy is changing, so please take note.

In the past, I've been very lenient with inactivity in our guild. Because of relatively recent additions to the game, such as the new Territory Wars, our policy needs to also shift. From now on, players who are inactive for more than 72hrs will be removed, unless they notify either myself or an Officer that they'll be taking a break from the game. Among other things, this takes a lot of guesswork out of managing a guild!

We will implement this new policy on Sunday, January 14. So, if you see a number of players removed from the guild on Sunday, don't worry! These are just players who have gone dark.

As always, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. Especially in our new Discord server!

Good hunting, everyone.
