So should I say I am still interested or am I already in the pool of possible Horde individuals?

126

There is no “Horde individuals”.
I think the event organizers have made it pretty clear that this campaign is not designed respecting individual participants. :wink:

The exception ofc being those that were already signed up to the campaign which has been replaced by this one. Gotta be fair to some degree, after all.

I’m starting to wonder if people sign up to these campaigns while reading the campaign rules.

It would explain the tremendous issues of attendant-side communication and organization that have plagued the most recent campaigns.

128

Wouldn’t it be smart to throw individuals under a community (so they that they obviously dont have to leave their guilds) for easier management?

129

The problem with individuals is that they hold no allegiances. When I’m causing trouble at a campaign that my guild signed up to, the organisers can contact the guilds officers and have them deal with me, instead of trying to chase me down, and tell me off.

Only accepting guilds makes for a much better event from organisational point of view as it becomes actually manageable. Less “You can’t tell me what to do, heh” types of people aswell, which is always a plus.

Alternatively, it would be smart to not have individuals because it’s more of a hassle for quite literally everyone involved - as has been said.

If the truckload of individuals signing up didn’t necessitate the organizers having to herd them around like rabid cats there could be a million ways to do this.

However it’s at this point fact that an abundant number of individuals cause an abundant amount of trouble and, since there’s no guild officer / leader to take responsibility to babysit them, the organizers have to go to great lengths to accommodate or sort them out.

I could go on a tirade about the average attendant being dense and expects everything to be catered to their style, instead of them adhering to rules at all times, but that was already discussed in another topic.

Play by the rules of go home.

Signups updated for the Ironcrested (though that number range makes me wheeze).

So should I say I am still interested or am I already in the pool of possible Horde individuals?

I’m not entirely sure how much clearer we can make it that individual sign ups are closed unless you were signed up for Rumble in the Jungle.

Individuals could just join one of the signed up guilds temporarily.

Any individual out there should go around asking people from these guilds if they have any space for reserves.

For any troll out there, join Painted Shields!

134

Man, that would certainly be a procreation move.

Temporary joining a guild for the event and then /gquitting? That would mean the guilds couldn’t keep them in line either, since they’d just leave afterwards anyway.

135

And they would be giving the guild in question a bad name if they did something, not sure why any guild would accommodate that.

136

I present to you the counterpoint of:

Said individual in your example acts like a dummy. Guild leader/officer who can easily be contacted to hold them accountable does so. They dont play by the rules, they get gkicked and marked for death.

Being in a guild/group also tends to nudge people towards playing by the rules as (even temporarily, lets say) you’re now in a community during the event rather than just sidling in on your own. I know what I’m saying is pretty much just “what-ifs” here but in my experience people tend to behave/play nicer when they’ve got an established group to play with.

I’d rather ball with some bros than on my own you know what i mean :cowboy_hat_face::smoking:

that’s why i suggest a community with some form of management to funnel them into, a sort temporary guild… also i think your troublemakers will likely show up regardless of approved attendance or not due to intentions and if you get kicked from the temporary community your time at the event is equally over… at least the friendly part, just a suggestion, eh.

Oh, I understand what you mean, but I don’t think it’ll end up working that way. Why should it?

Those temps aren’t beholden to anyone and if they get kicked it’s basicly no loss for them, but could ruin a rp evening for others.

139

They’re beholden to being ganked rightfully.

140

If they join a guild temporarily that means that the responsibility of keeping them in line in terms of rules etc can be delegated to their GM / it makes it easier to see who is signed up (ie. looking at a guild tag vs trawling a sign-up list)

You are more than welcome to form a guild / recruit some members / sign up if you like

You don’t have to but in the interests of campaign balance it would be cool if you could lower the range there - 4-6 (or w/e) is way more useful than 3-10 in terms of keeping an eye on numbers

Thanks for the offer, but i prefer to keep myself away from events due to. me being me mostly.

Also Daelhad shall be forever known as the bald and the beautiful.

Guild Masters can then message the organizers about the person quitting the guild mid-campaign and the person gets blacklisted. What’s the issue here?

What’s the issue here?

That you’re forced to be in a guild to participate in campaigns and/or RP PVP. Being in a guild is not what everyone likes. You shouldn’t be incentiviced to join a RP guild just to get a ticket to events.
