You really didn't go in there, then what is this? It was you, Zaratria, and Joe(Luigí). I am Sun. I was able to connect before you banned me for "sucks to sucks". Very admirable...you, Zaratria, and Luigí(Steve) even banned Zeh...the person who volunteered to buy the Teamspeak for us. Why would you do that? He did nothing wrong. You guys had beef with me, leave them out of it.
Message I sent to all guild members regarding this issue:Perhaps I should have made a conference with all of you before demoting everyone and making the change. However, I as the GM saw it fit to demote...and when it comes to such things, it is not something I can ask each person and see what they think.
It was something that was necessary as we have two large guilds and so the guild needed strong leadership starting immediately. I was spending all my time in AYD and so I rarely had time to jump between both guilds and manage. AYS was also becoming stagnant due to this. Furthermore, the officers could not do their jobs well because I never really gave them any strict guidelines and proper directions. I am to blame for that and I am sorry that I did not make the change sooner.
The new officers I chose, I chose based on how they reacted to the change and how they stepped in and became involved. Also, their history within the guild showed me that they truly believed in the guild philosophy and made that known to me in our meetings. Communication with them was also a big factor, it was a necessity that I know my officers as much as I could, and these guys did their part in giving me some of their time in regards to guild matters.
Lastly, there are some people who have been demoted and they see this as an affront to them and me stabbing them in the back. No. It is not me thinking any less of them nor do I think they cannot be an officer in the future. Everyone is eligible and if you are not an officer, it does not make you any less important to the guild. I merely demoted you because it was simply not the best fit for us due to things like real life, activity, responsibilities I would have to give, communication, etc. Some of you folks are just too busy, some of you folks just can't make the time commitment and share the burden of running the guild, and many of you I simply never talked to you about guild stuff and so I do not know your thoughts. You did not do anything wrong. But it would not be fair to other officers if I made everyone an officer.
Some of the members who left had qualms about their newly found rank. They did not agree with my decision of the new GMs and new officers. I tried my best to tell them that I did not mean to offend them, I only wanted to make it harder to be an officer because I would be expecting more from them. I wanted to see how each person would react and see if they would go about being an officer, even without such titles. Sadly, this was not the case for all and we could not come up with a compromise over the rank and guild direction.
I hope this clears things up and we can just move forward and continue being a good guild for Nost. Thanks!
Post I made before I demoted everyone:After much deliberation, I am stepping away from AYS and giving full control of the guild to Saltus and Solaire. I trust them with the guild and after speaking with them over the past few weeks, I believe them to truly grasp the nature of our guild. I have watched them for the past few weeks and I have only seen them be extremely cordial and generous to guild members and players outside the guild. I know they will care for each member and do their utmost to promote the message of the guild.
They will have complete control over the guild and I will only mediate when necessary. They will assign their own officers who prove exemplary and recruit new members as they see fit. AYS and AYD will simply be under different management, but they will always be one and the same, sisters and brothers.
Congratulations!
Also, congratulations for Keddar and Twins. Keddar and Twins' actions this past week is what prompted me to write new standards for officers and leadership for the guild. What I saw in them and their actions brought to attention the need for greater communication and solidarity in the officer core. I thank them greatly.

Anyways, thank you for the free bump happyjack, I hope you keep posting so people can see this. Also, I will let people decide for themselves. But what you guys did on Teamspeak is just child's play so I am happy that you showed your true self. Thanks again~
