Nothing's set in stone until I talk to Fecal.

I've noticed a few screw ups with the last meeting. Problem? We were all split up, it seems, and couldn't find each other.

As Mistaken Traveler noticed, a lot of people were left out, including your guild caption, me.


--X_x--Fox-x-Fire--x_X-- had this idea that everyone has everyone else's numbers, so that we can contact each other.

From this idea, I got the idea for a phone tree.

The night before, or sometime before, one person calls another person in the guild, reminding them of the event. They have that person call another, etc, etc.

This would be a good way to tally who's going, who's not, and to make sure everyone's on the same page.

We would need to discuss a time and day for the calls to be made, to make sure we don't bother someone at work, or call when they can't answer.

Any ideas to add to this? Discuss how this is a good/bad idea.

See the poll? Use it. But post, too!

well i think its a good idea, if it would make it any easier, since i would most likely be unable to make it anyway, i wouldn't mind calling people, and making sure that people know whats going on. It doesnt sound like many people make it regularly anyway.
sweatdrop
one thing i would point out is that we should do something so that everybody's number is protected, so that random people aren't calling them at 6 am in the morning.

Yes, I'm sure it'd be a PM exchange. One could PM someone their number, and that person could forward to the next on the list until everyone is covered.
Then we'd have to do the same all over again...

You all COULD PM them to ME, then I could send a message to each of you who sent in numbers with the full list.

nothing says fun like an awkward phone conversation with a random person or someones parent

Yes, I'll mark home or cell. I'll also include the RL name of the person (If they allow me to), and their username.

We'd have to make a strict rule about random calls, though.

of course, maybe saying all calls are only to take place between this hour and this hour, if that is violated then it should be easy to find out who messed up, and then they will no longer be allowed on the phone tree or whatever.

We'd have to use a warning system.
How could we punish the person other than banishment? It's impossible! They need to know when we could all meet!

But some people (Like me) can't text. Are you willing to take and get calls, anyway?

I like the texting idea more, not because it saves me minutes but because phone calls are always so akward in my house.
there is like a billion little kids running around at all times. O.o
But I guess calling works for me also.
I like this idea, but would we be able to call (or text) each other on the day of the meet up to tell them someone is going to be late, and ask them where they are?
