And as far as I know I already have a samurai. At least that!

A few items of business (but also Happy new Year!!!!!) to address just because I have been busy/away for a few days with houseguests, drinking, orgies, shopping, parties, eating, relatives and the like (just kidding about the orgies):

1. James: sorry to hear that something happened to really grind your gears a few days ago: please feel free to contact me if it's a killer. I can't tell if it's items that got lost or something else, but sorry to hear it

2.



Let's address this right now in two parts. First, we can use this for items being moved around, even if they aren't "library" items:



That way if something is shifted by the person who got the loan in an way to loaner did not intend, we can see where the tracks stop; otherwise please save AIM/in-game/etc conversations and screenshots if you have any worries. Nobody should have to say "and don't loan it to anyone else" or "can you please keep track of this" but added communication helps

Second, we really need to communicate clearly (in general) and while this is something we're hoping to better shape in policy and practice for 2015, it's also something everyone can keep in mind to help prevent or more quickly resolve issues; often drama or problems like apparent scams or BM fights begin with misinterpretations; on the other side, it's clear that sometimes people just sort of do what they want and later defend themselves by saying they didn't understand something and therefore took a liberty ... all of that horrible shit shouldn't happen and it's something I want to see stopped in our sexy Guild We have good communicators, nice people, smart people ...and really not all that many unresolvable disputes, but when they do happen it can get nasty.

3. This connects to the last bit I wrote on communication, but it's directed toward ventrilo. We have a recent example of the following scenario (I don't have all the details yet, I may misrepresent them, but tbh the details aren't what matter):

Person X feels picked on (or reports this later) and is having a rough time IRL
Person X takes it out on others, goes way to far
Person X regrets it
Persons Y, Z, etc report it to me

In reality I got the report closer to the events, but I had to go so I said I'd follow up on it; but by then I can see there was already an issue where someone felt singled out and maybe like he didn't belong, and aparently then took out some problems on everyone else, but especially on one person who made a report about how that went down. We should be careful about how others feel, we should be willing to tell people when to stop and how something affects us, people should be willing to stop if someone reports feeling pestered or bullied, and stuff like this should be reported before it becomes a bigger problem. Moreover, we all have lives outside of Labby, and if someone has a RL issue they can talk about it. Either to someone they trust (in general), ideally any co-leader or friend on d2jsp, or ultimately to me if nobody is available or it just seems like I'm the best option. That way (hopefully) RL stuff doesn't screw up how we're feeling and behaving in the Guild. If there is some drama, please do record what happens in some way so that it can be reported later. In some cases I get a lot of info and in some cases I don't, but more info always helps because then it's easuier to see what happened. If I see drama, my first interest is in resolving it. But we can really stop a lot of drama before it happens if we express (and literally report) our feelings when we're having an issue with someone or something. If we create a supportive environment where everyone is ready to respect everyone else's feelings, I don't think we'll have many sudden/odd problems

I think we'll have to actually set up a drama report system, even though we don't see much drama. We're actually great for not having much drama, but when we have it, JESUS it's bad

+1: sorry for the wall but I wanted to meet some things head on and hopefully provide some help. As for the vent "drama" I will address it with individuals as I get some info

Rew it wouldn't be you if there was not a wall

Got some movies downloading when they are done I'll get in to do some mqs.

Will be home around 1 pm for marathon slashing. Be prepared!

@Rew: Since I am at work I have not read it all will do that later.

- I was aware of that thread, but in the beginning I was told it is only for guild items.

- I am not mad at anyone, in fact I would have send all my items to all people involved myself. My only point is, that I want to know where my items are to keep track of them. I already lost an item I lent to an (ex)guildmember here. No bad intentions, just a stupid accident.

- The only reason I did post the comment here was, that I simply did not know who had my items, decided to send them and so on. Posting here was the easiest thing to do and reach everyone.

-And I certainly did not report something, I got asked about my comment that is all.

No hard feelings on my part, I was just a but irritated to hear from someone else that my items are with a guildmember I did not send it to.
And ofc I will continue to provide guildmates with gear if they need it. The main reason I did join Laby was because of the family-like atmosphere and helping each other out.

And I have never been disappointed since I joined!
