| We've pretty much just stagnated over the past few months to the point where absolutely nothing happens anymore. Obviously, this needs to be fixed. I've come up with a few ideas to bolster ourselves.
1) Rapid increase in members. As of late, we have incredibly few active members (at least on these forums). A very large increase in members will not only boost forum activity, it increases the amount of events we can have. As a method of gaining members, I propose;
2) Advertising. Continuing from the last point, some sort of advertising campaign needs to take place in game and on the grand chase forums. This could be as simple as having all active-duty members on the forum having links to the forum in their signature or full-scale posts advertising about what we do and what events we have, etc.
3) More moderators/an increase in leader activity. I can't begin to explain how many times I've logged onto the site to expect an Aggressor and been disappointed, or how many times requests to the leaders have been only met with after almost superfluously long wait times for everyone to be on at the same time. A way to fix this is to have more moderators or maybe new groups to be in charge of certain things (one group in charge of aggressors, one group in charge of events, etc.) This could also be worked around with an increase in leader activity. Say the division of powers between the leaders became more equal, where Jashiin could do Aggressors, Shugo could handle events, and Reborn could handle incoming member requests. Something like this needs to happen.
Please take these ideas into account when considering the future of the guild. I really like this guild, and I don't intend to have it die off into obscurity. | |

| I'm sorry Drew for the lack of Leader activity and updates. Every leader is. School is being...complicated due to an event that occurred, so I've been busy. I already have some updates and events prepared but I can't really post them, not yet anyways. Also I have no control over Aggressor since that has never really been my area for updates. But I hope to get something in by the end of next week.
Also it would be great if I come somehow get a list of everyone in the guild that is active. Forum or In-game, it doesn't matter. I need a list so I may proceed with the wipe (unless another leader already did it)
Edit: I forgot to mention that GC has come to a point where it no logers grabs my interest but I still love the game and this guild. However, this means my activity in-game will be very little. | |

| That's pretty much what I'm talking about with point 3; more moderators to take the place of leaders that are unable to be online for whatever reason. Also, I think the guild swipe happened not too long ago. | |

| But I have no control of that... It's surprising but I'm not the leader of the in-game guild, Aqua is. And if the wipe happened, it didn't occur to this forum. | |

| I'll be back monday, Short and sweet is how i roll because exam month was so fking painful for me.
Shugo isn't ingame and aqua is our replacement due to the fact the leaders were gone. Only reason why Shugo wasn't picked and Aqua was. He was best fit at the time and I know Shugo has a life, didn't want to gamble the fact that he could be gone.
Be back monday.
Aggerssor will 100% be going weekly when im back, Swear on it.

| I kind of have been on a block on the guild.
Guild activity just seems to have come to a stop, and pretty much tried everything to get everyone to wanna be active and do recruits.
I tried everything I could think of, and suggestions and ideas declined drastically.
As of right now, since no one is really active and doing guild activities like normal, we're pretty much working with nothing. | |

| I just want to know one thing, what kind of prizes do people want from events? The reason we have Aggressor is so members of the guild have something to aim for, but there is barely any participation in that. This is the main problem in all my updates which is why I've stopped with any major event update. Bad prize = no participation and no participation = no events. | |

| The major problem I see with the events is that there is a lack of active people to do them (Point 1 and 2) | |

| I even made a "just for show" system to try and get people to do things if they don't want to do aggressors. | |

| I uh, don't like aggressors. Nothing personal just not really my thing.
So perhaps more events can be thought of? Different ideas of things to do or something.
Other than that I'm not really sure what to suggest. GC has been lacking recently and it's changed a lot from when I'm assuming, most of us know and loved the game. I guess this is why activity has been low as of late.
But as long as there are people here, the guild is live and kicking. And thanks to our active in-game members we're a fairly decent Guild Rank. So not all doom and gloom. | |

| I am not really interested in guild rewards. Just the people.
KK never has events that tie in with what is happening with GC. We should have had a Rufus leveling contest! Well since Sloth probably would have won it maybe not. XD | |

You haven't tried it yet. People should give a couple of things a chance before ever even trying it. Yeah, you're playing with texts... Woooh, that's so fun. If it's not just to play, how about competition? See who can make the highest damage. | |

| Personally, I once tried to get into aggressor when Tachi and I were teams. I have never been able to pick it up though, no matter how many times Tachi tried to explain it to me. I never really saw a point to the aggressor because I never saw anything worth it at the end. As for the activity, I can somewhat help by getting the word out and recruit via pvp and dungeons(since believe it or not I dungeon now, though very little). If anything at all I can get a few people at the very least to join. Then we can all have super happy fun dungeon/pvp tiems. k? k~ - Crona - | |

| @James - I would try those kind of events but GC usually doesn't release many "exciting" updates. Most of our events are GC-related in that you have to complete dungeons and stuff, but there's not really much else. We can have a level-up event but those are only fun to hardcore members and I think most of us like to play GC casually, at least I do. | |

| For example witht he last RPS there could have been two events.
1. A set lottery This would be the guild leaders randomly selecting 10 numbers between 1 and 150 and whoever gets the exact amount of RPS sets as a number selected wins a prize. <--for everyone
2. He who has most sets wins One who has the mosts RPS sets wins (duh) <--for the hardcore
Nightmare Circus could have had an event like
1. Top 3 fastest run times in NC Very Hard win. (Could even be same person 3 times or different people)
An event like today would be harder. I guess some sort of Honor Guard thing could have been made. | |

| I like James' ideas.
The speed run thing is very interesting.
Perhaps speed runs of Hero dungeons and stuff would work too.
Also, Shady, text-based stuff games are just a bore-fest. I appreciate the effort that goes into it and whatever, but I know for a fact that I wouldn't like doing it. | |
