I think that the platoon system is a good idea too. I know we had started it before and i dont know what ever happened to it, maybe with the change of clans it got pushed to the side. I don't believe that we need alot of elders though. I personally think that 8 is enough, and i do see a couple of elders that I would not mind demoting. As long as all time zones are covered, we should be good. I have never seen or understood why pple want so bad to be elder, so I would stop promoting, but with that said, Mr. Fish thinks I am too tough and unforgiving, I am less likely to give peeps a second chance when they do something stupid, but mr. Fish would, he is more level headed
When she says I am more level headed it means that I don't dare disagree with her or I may suffer very badly. However, I am more forgiving. With that said, I believe that those that are elders have earned it, but they need to keep up a certain standard to keep that status. If there are elders that are no longer meeting the standard due to inactivity or lack of interest then they need to be demoted. The platoon system sounds great to me. Here is another idea to go along with it, if you are going to have elders as platoon commanders and sargents then maybe Leo should be the General and oversee the system. He would not be in any platoon, he would be in charge of them all. Or maybe have 2 generals due to time zone differences?
Thanks for helping clear my head guys. And hi grav! Surprised u still keep tabs on this forum. Im happy for the constructive input but disappointed at the lack of response from the others.
It goes like this. All PCs report to me and Co-leader Fishy. All PSs and PCs work closely together all the time. Im considering creating 5 platoons as kik limits 9 people to one convo. An entire platoon should fit in their own convo together w their commanders.
I will be short listing elders to demote once the season officially ends in a few hours. I suggest you guys do the same. Voting will not be carried out before a decision is made.
All,
first off, sorry for the tardy response. I didn't realize we were using this forum again but it's a good idea.
Either version of the system is OK with me. Agree that Leo should be General and not be burdened with a platoon in addition. With as many kids coming and going as we have, how about one platoon dedicated to newbs? That would be tough to handle, but could help us straighten out some of the nonsense, or boot the news that just don't get it.
just a thought. We should give it arty, and can refine later after we see how it goes.
I think it is a good idea to have platoons. Lets keep the number of elders to a minimum. I have been in previous clans where everyone is an elder. There is no sense of leadership in those clans. The sense of respect for the elder position is lost in that situation. By keeping the elders to a maximum of 8, tells the clan that there are 8 members here that have "earned" the title that they hold, and will be responsible for the success of the clan as a whole. We run a fair and successful clan here, we have rules in place to help ensure we stay successful. We vote as needed so there is no need to make unwise decisions. I really enjoy how we go about communicating among the elders then among the members of the clan. No matter how we go about this, we will do what is best for the clan like we always do.
This restructuring is aimed at achieving all the objectives mentioned by sinister (DW). We have enough input so its time to execute this plan.
The following is a list of long time elders whom i would like to keep:
1) Fishy (to be declared co-leader)
2) Hih
3) Chris
4) Honey
5) Keys
6) Moh
No. 1-5 have been committed elders since i can remember an no. 6 is very active and vocal. However, nobody is irreplaceable. Elders who leave the clan to visit too often or fail to donate 1000/season will be replaced by someone more qualified.
We need 9 elders in total. Co-leader plus 8 platoon leaders. That leaves 3 spots for the remaining 4 elders.
Please send me a message on kik privately by 20th September. Thats 3 days before the next Trophy Hunt. I want everyone in their platoons before the Hunt.
Let me know which ONE elder we should demote. The elder who doesn't send me a kik message obviously will display lack of activity or interest and i will respond to that accordingly.
I'm fond of the platoon system. It makes us elder to actually put effort of being an elder. I feel as if the job is not equal for every elder. Some seem to be in lack of duty of being an elder. It's nice to have each elders to have a role. It will discipline the newbs on how the the system works in our clan.
