At first it was dark... And then there was this guild invitation.... "Wooho Welcome yey Me to the OBE House!" Congratulations. Welcome home. U must be out of your mind to join us. Unpack your bags and refresh with cookies and some random weirdness. We hope we grow so very fond of each other, that we nibble till eternity in a virtual bubble, boldly whistle against the ping together, joyfully suck the big lolipop of Mighty Server. No need to be nice. OBe Official FAQ of Maintenance: "So who are members in OBE anyway? Think of OBE Memberlist as a Special ~Need to be Taken Care of~ list. It is Limbo between life, and life of OBE. It means we have just met, and something in our stomach tells us we might be friends. Cos sooner we become friends - Mi Casa es tu Casa - sooner u share officership with us. Life of OBE limbo might expire after month if u never get promoted. "So who are officers in OBE? We are family, friends and relatives, strangers and lovers, partners in crime. "Okee... so who are then leaders in OBE? There is official list of active names. It is updatable. It is always on wiki. U are not on it, unless u are asked one day to sign it by blood, sweat and cookies. And it is not yours untill u sign it. So Who? Why? How? Those that are willing to take more weight and initiative then the others, in inspiring and fulfilling OBEs perpetual fortune. But, but, there are some who have been leaders here that are not even on the list! Relax, they might just want to make a cape or get a hall or demote Ry for fun. If they have it we must trust them. After all the throne is merely an administering button, no more. "Wooho Soooo I am THE Leader! I got the throne. Bow to me almighty" Soo, u are a leader! What does that really mean? FOr start u should use your responsibilities and powers with imagination and if possible in good mood. "Wee. I can change cape? Finally!" Yes, finally. If u feel creative today, make something u like to flow on our back for a while and be our sign of union, might and spirit. Its never about cape, its about how many ppl wear it, or better how many U wear! So mind that we may change it soon too. "Wow. I can even change hall?" If u feel rather generous and galant today, u can buy us a new hall! If not, u can gather around guildies to get it together. We change halls seasonally, monthly, evently, by whim, inspiration and random math formulas. "Woah. I can rearrange officers and members on roster?" Soooo...... U want to mess with roster list in obe? U think u are up to it? As FOR Activity Concerning issues ~ players who are 4 month offline> kick & move to zZZ except... dunno what particular except, but there are always some excepts xD Or u are girl and u want to demote Ry just for fun. Or maybe u have a craving wish to demote some real badass that is stepping over freedoms of others and warn him/her that OBe doesn't tolerate intolerance? But now the nuisance is getting only worse, so u want to go as far as kick him/her out? Or u simply don't want to bother and u wish to give the burden in another active deputy leaders hands? Ok. Stop. Take one deep breath. Think twice, what it is that u really want to do, and how awake or busy u are to do it. Read three times, Who are u going to Promote, Demote, Kick or Designate. EMPHASIS on reading 3 times!!! Good Luck. Let the dices flow and dare to bet with fortune, will u accidentaly give us new afk winner or tyrant of the month. "Hey how about I kick this "leave my Alliance" button?" Gather around fellow obers around guild chat campfire or forum and see what they think. U will see that most of the times they think the same. While leaving the deck, don't miss out on opportunity to leave in style, valor, humor and remembrance. U will see OBErs will gladly join up, even if silent just minutes ago. (If u can plz make screen shots of chat, for those who missed out the show) "OKeeeee... So we run an alliance! Wooho more buttons!" If you are leader triple check when entering alliance halls so u don't accidentally kick the guild out of alliance instead of visiting their hall. Mind to spend 1k to invite them back too. "Hmph. So since we are running an alliance does that mean no more whining :S ?" Yes. If u want to whine, do not whine AT, but whine WITH. With fellow guildies and allies. Find the problem and try to fix it together. "Nobody is there to help me :S" Yes ppl sometimes feel like helping, sometimes they don't. They don't even need a reason. Here is a tip: no matter how bored with repeating some mission or quest ppl will always help their friends if they have time and skills to do so. So meet the ppl u are asking help from. Offer help too. When u are not just a random name and number in yellow chat, they might think twice. "Why don't we have some scheduled events?" I guess we find routine tedious. But whoever wants to organize an event, organizes it! Just put a topic on event, pick a date and time, and see who is interested. Weekends are usually the best to go for. "My Green>Orange chats are dull and silent :S..." Inspire them! Throw cookies at hand and see who catches them. Don't stop at first try. Invent techniques, your own recipe. Make an controversial stance, that always works. Pink underwear also seem to work. Something stupid, something funny, something sad. Whatever you truly feel like at moment. "My chats are way too chatty, need to turn them off!" The Chat is there to be ON. Well OK, not always But don't blame the chat for it. Sometimes we all need privacy of our own activities and thoughts, whatever is going on in there."Oke... This WTB Tombs Spammer, Lfg Cusser, Teen Trashing Flamer and some Bitches in Heat are ruining it for everyone. Now I must turn it off @#%$&!!" That is the worst thing to do my friend. Non Pasaran. We must teach or fight the nuisance away! Viva la resistance! All our chats must be free! So while keeping in mind that: -Teens are not the worse thing to happen to u. -Nor CAPS lock excitement <3!@ spammmm. We need to face certain undeniable truths: -Trade. It is a natural occurrence in human society. Accept it. No need to make the sole life purpose of it (unless u are a stock wizard). Point it out. Suggest a neat alliance discount. Propose karma redeeming in FREE friendly giveaways. Organize a lottery or a quiz if their moral fibre is against freebies. -Swearing. It is a natural occurrence in human society. Accept it. No need to make sole life purpose of it. Swearing is healthy way of releasing pressure. Do not swear AT, swear WITH. Make up your own swear words. Use them creatively. Make even a contest about it if u wish. U are worried some kids (even your own) might learn the bad language? Don't be. They already know it. Much more eloquent then u. -Sex. Oh it is not only natural occurrence, but very joyful one too ^^ Go on... -Drama. Oh well. Drama seasons come and go in waves. Where would life be without little drama to add flavor to it? It definitely revives the chat As long as we are able to remind each other not to take ourselves too seriously, we can put things back into perspective...As of true Badasses, Drama Queens and Party Poopers... well hone your skills to make it stop, or make it leave! If the bastard is persistent, and things are getting out of hand, print screen and write down the names. Always good with evidence to win your arguments. If kick of the guild is last standing point to restore peace, u need evidence to explain the problem to its guild leaders and officers. Patience and Creativity are again your best armor & weapons. Have faith and give faith to guildies and allies that the problem will be solved ASAP and efficient. "We got room in alliance roster, and this cool guild is looking for one" If u truly want to involve in Guildhall politics and evolve our alliance, by all means, welcome aboard! Find out all u can and want to know about the guild. Be picky. See if they are picky. Ask some serious questions if needed, but trust your stomach at the end of the day. Love at first sight is always good way to go. Explain our ways. Show our wiki and alliance page. Easier then putting all in words. And always bear in mind that quality wins over quantity. Here are some advertisement notes that I use in my Random Local Travels: Astral Travellers [OBE] collect outcasts/ rebels/ nonconformists/ unadjusted/ curious/ addicted/ horny/ immature Delicious breast pudding, jars of swear brownies and faux leather clothes - at OBE coffee house from diverse species. Astral Travellers [OBE] are recruiting Guild Leaders for a vacation of Creative Anarchy! Alliance of Astral Travellers [OBE] LF Weird Virtual Entities with high ranks in continuous jokes & philosophical rants. Edited by Kali Morr, Oct 14 2011, 10:54 PM.

Only after reading this do I understand why I had a random message about joining an Alliance I never heard of. I asked a lot of questions and consulted my Officers (FoP) about joining this Alliance. After a short time I came to realise the 'OBE' way actually works for me , and so you may not be surprised to notice that FoP has a new (and old !) new leader and that myself and some (so far!) of my officers ane now proud members of OBE. As GL of FoP untill joining OBE I understand fully the responsibilities of guild leadership. I will not go into how I became GL of FoP but there was one reason that was the crux. That was - I got on with everyone ![]() Sorry to post this here - but couldn't think of anywhere better ![]() Feel free to moderate as neccessary... Daarke. BTW- Glad to be aboard ![]() |

Love the style and it reminds me of our old policies back at Tomb, bless her spirit. I may yet add to this already brilliant list. ;-) Also, just to showcase the ideas behind this section, I had a little talk with Kali. Using my powers of creativity I shall rename this section as the Official Fag of Maintenance. |

But don't blame the chat for it. Sometimes we all need privacy of our own activities and thoughts, whatever is going on in there.
As long as we are able to remind each other not to take ourselves too seriously, we can put things back into perspective...
