AIE Summer of Love 2010

Initial planning discussion about the AIE Gaming Community

Submitted questions:

1. Now that the officer vacation is over, what did the officers learn and or accomplish from it? Did it do it's job? How so? Is this something the officers think should happen again? If so, what things would you change about the officer vacation?
2. Seeking to understand the reasoning behind the policies. I had accepted the concept of limiting the guild to Earthen Ring and not splintering the guild with "sister guilds" on other realms. What I would like to understand is this. How does spreading the guild over different game communities and social networks differ from spreading the guild to other realms?
3. After hearing the announcement of the guild talents I was wondering if any plans or ideas had been discussed as to what we will be doing with the money generated from the talent that gives a percentage of players' earnings to the guild bank. Given the sheer numbers of the guild I'd imagine that we would produce a pretty sizable sum fairly quickly, and the guild rarely uses gold from the bank as is. More frequent raffles maybe?
4. how do the officers feel about this new influx of people. Just as a new, general observation I have noticed guild chat to be a bit more crude then normal and a lot of people not following the AIE sense of doing things. Looking back, would the officers have done it diffrently?
5. IF we want to take a leave from the game, how do we do that so we're not
   kicked out while we're gone?
