I think Beregond's point is sound. In the heyday of the game there may have
been enough players to sit on guild councils and actively manage the
recruitment processes while they put off their homework. But this is no MMO.
We are more like a Miniscule-MO with 20-50 players logged in at any given
time. I don't even have superior layman in math so I could be wrong, but
distributed across the 17 OCC guilds, I'd say we are stretched pretty thin.

Consider this: if council members are MIA for ____ amount of time, how about
a purge to make room for new blood? If we want new people to play the game
(and we do, don't we?), how discouraging would it be to hear: "good luck
joining that guild! Hardly any members play, and you need at least three
letters of rec. to get in. Oh, and there's no active council." As a newbie,
at best my response is *join Mercs*, and at worst it's more like: "this
game must be lame!" and I go back to grinding for lewtz in WoW.

But of course Genesis is not a lame game. It just needs a little tweaking
in some places, and this is one of them.
