Member Management Notes

Each 33 % beneficiary rewards of this post will go to @pingeln and to @naive-god this time again for improving their deck (or whatever). For more see the latest post on Beneficiaries.

Epilog

I want to say goodbye to another decorated teammate today. @pingeln has been active just shortly in our 52th brawl for Fray 4 Novice Alpha/Beta edition only until they fell victim to a change in the Spellbook. @naive-god was the first to mention what change this has been. Alpha/Beta edition cards were taken out of the Spellbook when the Chaos Legion edition was published right during the Prep Stage.

Before being made aware of this, I strolled around and found that only 2 guilds have assigned accounts to Fray 4 this time, so @pingeln must not have been the only account loosing the opportunity to brawl by not owning enough Alpha/Beta edition cards.

In screenshot: @docore2hot, @gandalfd, @samolcue, @magic-etn, @killerkev

Anyway, the accounts @pingeln and @m-mirage-e, both involved into brawl 52 somehow, became passive for my last Membership Management Notes. Since I don't like to remove players who have already contributed a lot of time to our guild - just as I did - I immediately started to look for contact to the accounts. Without success, as it turned out for @pingeln, and with success, as it turned out with @m-mirage-e.

So I want to repeat two things here on this occasion:

1. Stay active and/or involved enough in our guild community that we can reach you or people who know what you're up to within a few hours, just in case!

2. If, for whatever reason, you had to leave the guild, you are welcome to return. Get involved in our community so that we can consider your request at the end of the next top-up auction.

We are an open guild, and if you are all in for this game, as we are - for whatever reason and in whatever way - then we want to welcome and re-welcome you to the guild!

If you are new to this

Become familiar with the member management, please. If there are not any passive members, a rather small ammount of DEC will not be enough to stay, by climbing the member management score board. I don't want anyone particular to be removed, however, I also don't want someone to contribute precious DEC that is invested pointlessly. And because the guild spots are precious as well, the last in the list will be removed. That is part of our procedure as noted below.

Please understand, it is not on me to show comprehension. I'll do the best I can! Though this guild is somewhat managed like a DAO. That is Decentral Autonomous Organisation. So I simply follow the procedures that have evolved here by now.

General guidelines

The score is a product of contributed DEC multiplied by contributed scrolls, in which 0 scrolls are not considered, so then the score is equal to the contributed DEC.

If all accounts are active until the end of the auction, the relevant spots are recalculated at the end of auction and the account in 18th place is removed.

If not all accounts are active, the passive account with the lowest number of scrolls of all passive accounts will be removed, if it remains passive until the end of the auction. Then no auction will take place.

There has already been at least one case in witch we needed to remove a highly decorated long time contributing member for becoming passive. This case is documented at

• https://peakd.com/hive-179856/@anjanida/member-management-notes-e6e0fbce87795

And there has already been at least two exception to the above rules, when there would have been removed an account with only slightly less scrolls than another, from which significantly more DEC was irregularly invested in the guild buildings over a longer period of time. Or with only being passive shortly at a lot of contributions. These cases are documented at

• https://peakd.com/hive-179856/@anjanida/member-management-notes-qzaka5

Privileges when brawling

There is a lot of pressure in brawling. Some players contribute a lot of DEC for guild buildings and have a hard time getting into the frays. Therefore we will also take into account our guild scores when brawling.

Those who are higher in the list will get the privilege to claim a Fray against those below. However, a favorite must be proclaimed in the guild chat BEFORE the start of the respective prep phase, so that everyone can know which frays are without privileges at the start of the prep phase. And these privileges are only valid within the first 24 hours of the prep phase. The frays that are still free afterwards can be self-assigned, regardless of the privileges, so that no fray remains free.

In other words: Whoever has named a favorite (see list above) sometime before the start of a brawl (end of the auction) will be given the privilege to lay claim to that fray within the first 24 hours of the preparation phase, in case someone else has assigned to the particular fray without privilege. Within the second 24 hours those claims will be fulfilled based on the above list from top to bottom. Whoever then still has not vacated such a fray himself - in order to hopefully look for another one on which no claim has been formulated - will unfortunately be removed from the ongoing brawl and need to look forward to the next.

Further ideas and comments to this procedure are welcome!

Some thoughts about multiple favorites

I am still not sure about how to deal with multiple favorites. That is an issue not solved for me yet, however, I have not seen a major conflict of interest deriving from it so far. Please consider this when you have multiple favorites before you claim a fray against others.
