Also everyone please congratulate Laser on becoming a member of the Council. He has shown he can be a loyal member and has helped out and voiced his opinion many times. He has been there for plenty of wars and has donated some tc to the clan bank. Laser has been loyal to the family and for that we thank him.

Thanks! Hopefully I can help with future decisions within the clan. I wouldn't say I've helped donate much to the clan though...

I will improve this sometime.

I wasn't present the entire call, and thankfully missed the beautiful stripping, but it was fun anyways. It would be cool to do something like that every Sunday, and I should be able to participate more (with a mic) sooner or later.

Aww, it's sad to see you leave man.
I'm glad you were here for the time you were, and I loved having you.
Goodluck for 3 years, hope to see you back by then.
[General]

So as Lurk mentioned, congratulations Laser on becoming apart of our Council selection.
It's a fairly rare rank to obtain, so good job!
[Discussion]

Everyone should go congratulate tl;dr, they seem to already have become official.
I'm really happy for them, and they did it in only 2 and a bit months.
That's fairly encouraging for me, to be honest.
I know we're not as far along as them, but we are relatively close.
With this said, I still think we should hold off on applying until we're at our 5th, 6th, or 7th month.
[General]

Ugh, so I was stressing about how my English assignment had to be done by this week, but it turns out it's next week...
Because I left two before school was over, they dates got changed and no one told me.
Rest in piece.
[General]

Lurk and I had a brief discussion on whether we would give a rate on a member.
I was thinking if people got a rate, they would have to receive over a certain amount to pass the application stage.
In the end we decided not to do that since it'd be making things harder than they'd have to be. plus our recruitment process is pretty good as it is.

We're capping at 15 members, so we currently have 3 spots open. Leclan doesn't count as a member.

Congrats on becoming a council member Laser, I know you're great for the job.

Im glad came to this decision, I am on the bus and was actually just thinking about how it's going to keep us from being crowded.
On the topic of members, Rescudo has advanced to stage 2 of recruitment, which is questioning.
Let's see how he goes with that.
I also might try to persuade xJuicy to be active on the forums and join.
The only thing I'm worried about is how often he would post.

Speaking of posts, I've sent Skype messages to the people who haven't been posting every 3 days as agreed.
I hope to see those people pick up their act. :v

Yay question time!! I wasn't on at the time I usually am on today. I had a lift-a-thon thing which was just a competition but also just getting or max weight. We did sqaut, bench, and hang-clean. I did okay I guess I mean i'm not the strongest but did what i could. I only got home about an hour and some ago, but I ate dinner when i got home and watched some tv with my fam. Was a pretty interesting day and fun as well.

Thanks man. It was competing against (le)'s postcount that kept me really pushing the clan in it's early stages. If I saw you guys had your post one hour ago, and our last one was 4 hours ago, I felt compelled to post, so as not to get left behind. The friendly competition with you guys was a part of what helped us build ourselves up.

Why are you planning on waiting so long before you apply?

It really depends on how things go really. We don't want to apply to early and get denied, and seeing how you guys got it around the same time we were made kind of compels us to do better and better. Official is something we want but we don't want to rush it either and not get it. Things seem to be going great so far but we can always do better and improve things also. Like I said it really depends on how things go, and why when did you think we should apply i'm curious to see what you think and any suggestions you have. Talk to me baby<3.

I suppose the first thing to do would be to identify the areas in which your clan is lacking. For us, it was in-game, so we started pushing war activity really hard. I'm not sure, but I think you guys have got ingame activity sorted, so it might be time to start focusing more on the forum side? You guys use Skype, so IRC activity isn't an issue.

I'm not sure that restricting growth by maintaining a member cap (it's 15, right?) is a good idea. I can see the reasons why you have it (stability), but I think it'd be better to focus on stability after acquiring a larger base (and the activity benefits that come from having a larger base).

Lastly, I'm not sure if it really does affect activity (it could, but it also might not), but requiring tags at the end of posts is a barrier to posting. You could probably squeeze out more forum activity by removing them. Then again, it's (le)'s schtick and it differentiates it from other clans - so, I'm not really sure if the potential cons outweighs the pros.

tl;dr;
Step 1: Identify problems/inadequacies/inefficiencies.
Step 2: Crowdsource solutions for them.

[General]
I have a question about the stages and all that. So am I in stage 2 or am I past that?
[Discussion]

I can't wait to apply for official. I have never been in an official clan before. I've only been in 3, but yeah.
