February 14th 2013 not only marks the calendar for Valentines Day, but more importantly it is the day that The Elder Scrolls Division became official!


This also means that we have sent out messages to those that have shown interest in the division about whom you think should lead. Upon reviewing those and reviewing the Guardian Leaders Code:

Section IV.b - The Guardian Leader's Code

The Leader's Code is a set of core values that all members of the Guardian Council and Guardian Officer Corps are expected to follow.

Leadership - A Guardian Leader will strive to lead by example, always serving as a role-model for members to emulate.

Patience - A Guardian Leader will display patience and understanding in all situations. He or she will confront problems and situations with a level of poise and control that exemplifies the Guardian Code.

Honesty - A Guardian leader will be forthright in their dealings with others, representing their positions and intentions to others with honesty and accuracy and without deception.

Empathy - A Guardian Leader will put themselves in the shoes of their members, doing their utmost to recognize, perceive and understand issues as they arise and keep open the lines of communication that solve or prevent such issues.

Trustworthiness - A Guardian Leader will always keep the confidence of fellow Guardians, never divulging information to which their rank allows them access in an inappropriate fashion.

Reliability - A Guardian leader will remain active in their position and in the organization as a whole, conducting their assigned duties faithfully at the direction of the Guild Leader and Guardian Council.

Wisdom - A Guardian Leader will make fair and just decisions for the betterment of TG as a whole, exercising prudence, insight and knowledge of the Code and Policies of this organization.

we determined which candidate would be best suited to run the division.

Not sure if he still has it, but that was Keyn's avatar for the longest time. 

Congratulations and welcome Guardian.

Welcome to the forums. great forum name, was one of my favorite FF characters. I am sure Airic has already told you, but feel free to look around and post on anything that interests you. This helps us get to know more about you and you get to know more about us as well.

Rift has had several members leave due to RL issues, losing interest in the game, and so forth. Because of that the raid group has been struggling to find members to fill empty spots and they have had to resort to picking up PuGs and such to try to knock out raids. This has left some unhappy and others are unable to experience end game content because the group is just not geared well enough for it. A couple of our officers in Rift have stepped down because of RL issues and just not being able to perform the duties as they want to. being an officer is voluntary. Real life happens and right now many of us have out of the ordinary stress in our life due to Real Life events.

Many games lose players like this. Gamers cap out, lose interest, move on to something shinier, or have RL events that prevent them from playing. For a guild that focuses on just one game the member base is not affected as much because folks are there to play that one game. In a guild such as ours with multiple divisions this happens regularly. It happened in WoW, Rift, SWTOR, GW2, PS2 and I am sure it will happen with ESO. We have a large force enter the game, then after a couple of months the player base declines rather sharply as members move on to other games, older games, or focus on RL matters. It is the nature of the beast. Once this happens we usually find out those that are dedicated to the game and then we recruit and grab more that are dedicated to the game.  That is how we still have members in each division raiding and doing events. They are the ones that stayed and we built up from there.

With the decline in numbers we have disbanded the raiding team so that they can either form a Guardian group on their own or join other raids to experience end game content. Officers are not needed to raid. As I have stated in other threads, when I was just a member I created the Pajama Crew raid group in Rift and a couple of others. All you have to do typically is clear it with a DL to make sure you are not stealing other groups members or interfering with another raid. In this case, since we dissolved the raid group if a member wants to start a group up, then go for it. Post threads on our forums with dates and times. Send out PM's to all of those interested so they are reminded of when and kick some butt.

At this time with the numbers as low as they are there is no need for multiple officers. We will rely on a Division Lead and a Recruiting Officer. Once our numbers rise back up we will add more officers as needed.

If anyone has any other questions or concerns please feel free to contact me via PM or catch me on mumble if I am on there.

The Rift Division is not dissolving and I have faith that we can build the numbers back up. We have done it before.
