Now I will not apologize for coming off as an asshole before entering our Sunday run, but I will give an explanation for why we are now going to be more strict on people who show up late repeatedly to Einherjar.
I personally have had quite a few complaints from multiple members on the shell having to wait on people to show up. We (shell leader and sack holders) have tolerated this to an extent since this is a new shell and it does take time to adjust, but it seems that there is pattern appearing with the same people showing up late. We understand that people have other obligations to attend to (limbus, dynamis, sky et...) and real life stuff before Einherjar and we are taking every measure available to not penalize on that basis, but we also have to consider that people also have other events to attend to after ours. Showing up late just because you felt like it that day for whatever reason is no excuse. It is unfair to the 20 people that show up on time every run to make them wait another 30 minutes to an hour because we have a handful of people who consistently lag behind.
From now on we will not wait excessive amounts of time. Gather together is at 8:30pm PST/ 10:30pm CST on Wednesday and 6:30pm PST/8:30pm CST on Sunday. Those people that can show up slightly earlier would be much appreciated, but not mandatory. Lamps Will be passed out for entry into Einherjar as close as possible to 9:00pm PST/11:00pm CST on Wednesday and 7:00pm PST/9:00pm CST on Sunday. If the lamp has not been broken and we see that you are making an effort to get there we will at the most give you a 5-10 minute grace period but no more. NO EXCEPTIONS.
If anybody has a problem making our times PLEASE LET US KNOW. We are easy going guys and are willing to work with people to the extent allowable. We cannot stress this enough.
This may seem harsh but we feel that if no action is taken then people will continue to take advantage of being able to show up as they please. This shell has the potential to be great with the amount of skilled players we have. We have high expectations that this shell will come together and start kicking ass.
Also, as a way to separate duties between multiple leaders, we decided to promote Zorris to sack holder on a trial basis for a few runs. Some of his duties will consist of helping get people together, helping to form parties, making job change recommendations, and helping to advise people in battle that they should be using certain spells or abilities (some people are new to this so a little advice goes a long way). After 2-3 runs if we feel that he is an added benefit as a leader figure then he will remain as a permanent sack holder. If we still feel that more leadership figures are needed then we will look for another person to become a SH that promotes qualities that will be an added benefit. If you wish to become a potential sack holder then please contact a current SH. To become a potential candidate you will have to let us know what you have to offer our linkshell as a leader figure and you will have to prove it.
If there are any problems...problems with another member, cant make a run, running late etc... please contact Ryansrc or Agaloch in game.
