FAQ
FAQ
This will be updated as questions flood in and awnsers are given back.
Q: How did i get ownership of this guild?
A: I bought this guild from the original owner. His name shall be remembered as the former owner and will be up there with mine and the crew when it comes to seeing who is/was staff.
Q: How much did you buy the guild for?
A: I cannot share that information for many reasons.
Q: Can i buy the guild?
A: This guild is here to stay in my own leadership as i want to run this guild and make even better than it was before.
Q: Will you ever sell the guild?
A: I hope not, as i really want this guild to work. People could offer now in their millions but i will not let go! If there is a time to ever sell, it would be when im forced too, maybe because the guild is deteriating rapidly. But we will all make sure that will never happen, right? MPH will live on and be as helathy as it is today.
Q: You are a guild trader... what does that involve?
A: In simple terms, i buy guilds in order for them to be re-sold. There are a small handfull of guild traders, but most are of the unexperienced kind. I can proudly say that through my own reckoning aswell as many others, i have been calassed as one of the best traders.
Q: Your new to this guild generally... will you try to make this work?
A: I will try with all my might to make this guild "top-notch" and to create a happy well balanced community.
Q: Will you be active?
A: Yes. I have heard that the last owner rarely posted in the guild. True or not, i will not be doing the same as said, and i will reguarly check up on the guild, post and become a part of the members, trying to get to know everyone and generally being involved with every aspect of the guild that is possible.
Q: Are you any good at running guilds/Do you have experience?
A: I do have experience and i am good at running guilds. Although nothing major, i used to run (and then joint run when i sold it over) a small RP community. It was made to accept anyone, but mainly friends we knew from gaia or/and in real life that liked RP were the ones that were members. It was active, not heavily active with speed, but more than enough to hold severall well made RPs and keep people interested. I eventually quit the guild after having trouble and generall time wasting tasks in my outside gaia life (such as coursework and the like). The guild is still going today, however not as flowing as in the past.
Q: Not to be rude but you seem like a know it all, are you?
A: Well... confirmed. I basically know any guild i come across inside-out when it comes to statistics, worth, etc. Because of my trading buisness i have gotten to the dirty and muddy grips of every guild i have bought and sold and thus learned practically all there is to know, not just about guilds but the generall GGN. I suppose you could say i have "contacts" although that does make me sound a bit... well... like a scary mafia guy. But i do i guess as i know a few GGN mods and i talk to some of them on a regular, sometimes daily basis. I tend to hang around the Registered Guilds forum (RG) and Captains Guild (CG) a lot, to talk to people and help gaian in need, but also to help moderate the forums in order to make gaia just a little bit more pleasant. Obviously, i can only do things within my power, which isn't a lot, but i let people know of the rules and report threads/topics if needs be. I also gain a lot of information on the guild updates and happenings, and sometimes i recieve/read info before anyone else has a chance to even get a sniff of it. Im a little GGN hor you could say! So yeh... I kind of do know it all, or most of it!
Q: Will the guild be kept the same?
A: Most of it will. The concept of poll/spam will remain and so will most of the subforum genres. I have a few ideas, but those will be elaboarted in this here crew forum before i make any drastic changes (such as changing a subforum or making a new one). The guild name i may change... MAY... i will be pondering over this for a while. I am currently on the fence as however much i like the name and it has been stuck with this guild as it has risen, it may need a re-vamp to something else. But dont hold your breathe yet as it is only an idea and i probably won't change it anyway when it comes down to it.
Q: I love you... can you donate please?
A: Im not rich! Some of you may think i am but i really am not. Yes i have a few k milling about but that doesn't make me a multi-millionaire by any standards. And as for donations... Well, i am the type of person who needs to know who i am donating too. Basically, i only donate to my friends or people i know. I don't donate much but when it comes to trading, you need to spend money to make money and so without any i cannot make any. Once i have gained such an amount that i can spend semi-freely and not lose a large chunk off my balance, then i will donate like crazy, not just to fellow gaians but the whole community, in this guild, out of this guild, anyone and everywhere.
Q: Would guild input be involved when it comes to drastic guild changes?
A: Yes, guild input for any drastic change within a given community like this is of the highest importance. I would also take in an overall overview of what everyone thinks before putting anything (new sub-forum, guild name change, etc) into action.
Q: What do you see your purpose as in this guild?
A: I see myself being what a captain should take role in: To mingle with members, run the guild, be there in need of help and to try and aid people in whatever way possible.
Q: ???
A: ???
