Zilart Missions

Submitted by sam on Mon, 03/06/2006 - 21:40.

Well, from the looks of it, we have plenty of folk for the Zilart Missions. The only problem is, we may want to push these events off onto the End-Game ClanAM LS once we actually start it up.

Thoughts? Opinions?

I was going to lead up weekly RoZ runs (starting from ZM 4) starting in 2 weeks; however, if there is enough interest - and support (Re: Maior's ZM5 run/Cyclonus Ifrit's skull run), I would start it up sooner...

Of course, of all the people that actually can do and need the RoZ missions, I think only one actively reads the site.

Except..

Except when you consider how many votes this forum has gotten.

There seems to be more people spread throughout the ZM range than I certainly thought.

Any thoughts on doing it as an end-game LS event?

How about an end-game LS *rec

How about an end-game LS *recruiting* event? ^^

That way, we can get people who are ready for the end-game LS aware of the end-game LS and get them to the site. We can begin populating it so that when Sam finally decides to start the bastard up it will have people in it^^

On recruiting

I think, given the nature and structure of the proposed end-game LS, it would be a semi-waste of time.

Inevitably, we will help person X getting sky access and he/she will then proceed to leave us and join "teh uberz1!! HNMLS." You cannot assume that these people will return for the one or two events per month; with the folks in ClanAM proper, I feel endgame activities will be more social rather than competitive.

Not saying that this will/will not occur otherwise. *I* would rather help people that have been with ClanAM proper for a while and *I* know are solid folks.

Plus according the proposed manifesto, isnâ€™t ClanAM proper membership a prerequisite? Wouldnâ€™t that be our recruiting mechanism?

On Sam's comments: True, many are spread out with respect to the missions, but this is/was true of CoP and it never stopped us from helping. I wouldn't mind doing these missions again - provided people are prepared!

Bah!

You know it's bad when I start being quoted :-P

Anyway, I think using it as a recruiting tool for ClanAM members isn't a bad idea (basically, combining Cyc's and Raven's comments together). E.g., the people who show up to this who we know and trust, and are ready for 65+ activities, we approach them and see if they are interested.

My only question then becomes what date should we set for actually starting end-game LS activities? I was thinking of summer 06, but from the comments I've been getting in IRC and in the game itself, I'm starting to wonder if I should start it sooner. "Strike while the fire is hot", so to speak.

A few comments:

1 â€“ I hate this fucking client and its firewall â€“ stupid tunneling software/IRC {can I have it?}

2 â€“ I honestly think this is something that needs to be discussed with the group. Recently, we have had this increase in members (some of which are nearing the 65+ mark) and would be welcomed additions to an endgame LS. However, I feel that when one enters a new LS he/she is all about â€œwhatâ€™s in it for me.â€ Re: my previous comments.

3 â€“ At the moment I think we have one, maybe, two (?) tanks. Not a big deal for most of the RoZ missions, but farming in sky could become an issue (assuming we start with sky for our activities).

4 â€“With all that said, I think we can at least start and possibly finish the RoZ missions needed for sky, for a core group of players and get feedback from them. I think there is some merit in the idea of starting sooner; we just need to see how the others would feel and if they would be up for it (I donâ€™t see why not, this would be like Garrisons and such â€“ just a bit harder and more complicated).

Sam â€“ thatâ€™s post 4,324 and counting with the subject tag â€œBahâ€
