Current challenge is to read Three Men In a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome. (There is a strong momentum to have next month be a non-book challenge like going to a museum or watching a film.)

Pirate Discussion: It looks like a cool guild that's fallen silent due to a silent leader. I'm going to try to jump start discussions and maybe throw a challenge or two at it to see if anything happens. Stand by.

cTheDragons 17 May 2017

It looks like @Meriah has successfully kick started the guild off again. Only because @Meriah is a senior pirate I have PM them to see where they are at. Will give them 48 hours if not happy for another pirate to take the guild to hail.

This is a reasonably active guild. Its original owner was replaced by Carol Suckerpunch (IDN: 01a0c1bc-a977-4038-a31f-1bb8a02350e3) under circumstances which are entirely unmentioned in the chat. Carol Suckerpunch made only one entry (ever) one year ago and hasn't been heard from since. There are no challenges, but it might be worth hailing the group to make it more active. Either a replacement or no captain would be the obvious outcomes. Permission to hail granted by Admiral Alys.

Ship hailed 20/11/16 and only had one expression of interest from Osidiano (UID: 8d87d01a-69eb-482b-afee-09f946bbccc8, Born 12/10/2016). Both Osidiano and I feel they are too inexperienced to lead the guild. It is an odd one, active, but with new members coming up and old members dropping off the chat all the time. Maybe a new leader is not required?

Advice received from @c TheDragons and @Dewines. No captain appointed for the moment. Guild's attention drawn to the resources available to help with challenges and leading. Will revisit situation in a few months when @Osidiano is older.

2 tanners 23 Jan 2017 

Osidiano has resurrected the guild through conversation and challengers. @Alys decided to make them captain.

tenko: animator's survivor guild is one that was on my radar, and i have messaged them in party chat on february 7th, 2016 asking if they want a new leader for this guild. the members of this guild informed me/us that they have made a new guild, and asked about this guild there was no response. they have not chosen a new leader.

i have no ideas as per what could or should be done there, and because my presence there has irated one person, i'd like to bestow follow-up with this guild to another pirate.

Luthien: I am a member both of this guild and of the newer Motion Design guild. Will be hailing this week (2/28 - 3/5).

@Alys set @matt as the guild leader and informed the guild. I (Meriah) also posted a link to the Guild Maintenance article on the wiki.

Meriah 6 Dec 2016 matt decided he didn't want to run the guild after all. booklooker d7c13996-cc1f-4d36-990e-ac2714b45ee9 volunteered to take over. booklooker has been active over several months in the guild, and seems like a good choice.

Let's leave  P90 Workouts for a while. It's very inactive and it will be easier to find a new leader later if something else happens to enliven the guild. I suspect that the response at the moment would be the same as for Tenko's attempt. We can start handling it when we move on to the other less active guilds

Dylan Elliott: @shanaqui quickly volunteered to take over the guild. They're a moderator, so they understand Habitica well and can remove harmful posts if need be. They also post often and obviously care about the people within the guild.

Dewines: @Dylan Elliott  I think it's been decided that @shanaqui will make a very suitable leader for the Queers. All we need now is for @Alys to make the change and we can count that as a successful outcome. Thanks for helping. It would be good if you could add a note to the wiki that a leader has been found.

It has been a month since I hailed Crazy Cat People in Training and no one has posted since, what should I do?

@Alys 16 January 2017

@DragonBane : We can put that guild on hold for now and come back to it when the other guilds have been dealt with. If there's no new posts in the guild then, I can delete it. If there are new posts, we could ask for a leader again. If you'd like to choose another guild to work on, please do! -

@DragonBane 16 March 2017

@Alys @valerieclaires has asked to be made leader of the Crazy Cat People in Training guild, there have been no other people who asked, but @valerieclaires has not been using habitica for very long.

@Dewines 16 March 2017

@DragonBane Thanks for reporting back on the Crazy Cat People in Training guild. I know that we usually like to give the leadership to more experienced Habiticans, but as there have been no other offers, it might be worth taking a chance on @valerieclaires. It can't be worse than a totally absent leader who hasn't logged in for 12 months. @Alys, thoughts?

@2 tanners16 March 2017

@Dewines I have in the past suggested to would-be guild leaders who are new to Habitica that they try taking on the duties of the role - stimulating conversation, setting challenges etc without being the formal guild leader. It has worked in some cases. There is a draft text on this page from a month ago which you are welcome to use/modify as you see fit.

@cTheDragons 16 March 2017

I agree with @2 tanners Some new players work are able to flourish while others do not (But remain active in Habitica thus making it less clear cut we can assign the guild to someone else)

@Dewines 16 March 2017

@2 tanners Thanks for reminding me of what we did before. That approach has worked well in the past and allows a new player to prove themselves before being made leader. @DragonBane, here is the text that @2 tanners used successfully before: "@[potential new leader] Your ideas sound good, but as you say, you haven't been with Habitica long. But you don't have to be guild leader to make the guild more active, you can start already! Not sure if you are aware, but there is a guild called The Bulletin Board pushpin in Habitica where you can announce your challenges. Also when you announce them in chat, use some formatting like headings and links so guild members can see them and quickly join. Check out more tips on Guild Leading and Challenge Creation on the wiki and ask any questions in the Guild Leaders & Challenge Creators Guild. So don't wait, let's get this guild back into action now smile All the best!" You can make any necessary tweaks to that text so it fits the situation in the Crazy Cat People in Training guild.

'@Accio Books! 12 May 2017'

PIC @DragonBane last posted 2 months ago (10 posts down; last post 20 days ago). Potential Guild leader @valerieclaires has not posted after @DragonBane's last post. @DragonBane has not logged in since 27 April 2017, and is not in the Inn. Proposal: PM @DragonBane or @valerieclaires to ask about status, or put another pirate in charge.

@cTheDragons 17 May 2017

@valerieclaires has not done anything with the guild since DragonBane post so I don't think is very suitable candidate at this stage. **Recommendation:** I'm happy for another Pirate to rehail now the guild if they wish other wish Roll to new list. I think @DragonBane has retired.

Pirate Discussion: I ( Meriah) hailed them on 19 Nov 2016. Contrary to the info above, there is a fair amount of chat going on, so I am optimistic that a new leader will come forth.

Meriah 9 Nov 2016 Hi folks. How new is too new for someone to take over a guild? The person who's offered to take over The Tea Room has been a member of Habitica for about two months. (The guild doesn't seem to need a lot of prompting, though.) I'm planning to give it a few more days, but thought I should see if this would be a problem.

cTheDragons 21 Nov 2016 Regarding your question for the Tea room. Are you talking about Sessy UID b1bb2499-9043-4861-8a9c-d434de0fcf09 born 27/09/2016 ? Generally 2 months is a little two new. However They have posted 7 amount of times to the guild. (7 highest. Most posted is @RockabillyOtter 28 times. Others, 12,11,11,10, 8 times). I'm not sure that enough on a fast moving guild but it is up to the what the Admirals say I would say. I would at the very least full 14 days before recommending a change. That being said our issue with newer players is not so much they don't know what to do, it just proving they are committed to Habitica. FYI it best you give a hyperlink to the guild and the UID of the person. That way the Admirals can check the user out quickly for you. (They have special tools that allow them to drill down on the user quick with UID posted to the guild chat).

Meriah 6 Dec 2016

I't's been a couple of weeks since I hailed The Tea Room guild. Of the two people who volunteered, Kucki68 766f9007-7249-4e04-b026-332a4aa23041 has been around for well over a year, while the other has been a member for about 3 months, so I would recommend making Kucki68 the new guild leader. I will also be sticking around to keep an eye on things, because TEA IS THE BEST.''

Pirate Discussion: Lord Vlad : Learn Mandarin guild. I hailed it one week ago, I come to make my report : One member showed interest, he/she is active in the guild and was already before, It's randomgriphindor. Though, I know this member has just taken control of one other guild, but seems involved and motivated reviving it, so far. As he/she wasn't sure and would have prefered to be second in command,

I ask permission to demand that he/she confirms his/her desire to manage that guild.

cTheDragons : @Lord Vlad Are you speaking about @RandomGryffindor UID: 331805b6-f4c5-4f61-b030-b549cdc4c428 Born 09/08/2016 has prior posts in the guild?

Running 2 Guilds I don't think is an issue. There are certain pirates here that are in double figures. It is weather the Admirals think they are a certain candidate.

Lord Vlad : @cTheDragons I did tell that they have prior posts in the guild. Furthermore, I was just asking for permission to ask them (RandomGryffindor) if they would take the guild or not, since their message was a bit unsure. If they (RandomGryffindor )said no to that message, decision by the admirals would be useless unless somebody else shows up. @cTheDragons I did tell that they have prior posts in the guild.

Pirate Discussion:

@Lord Vlad 19 Nov 2016

In the working from home guild, after being hailed, I left now a week for motivated people to step in, only one has spoken and he seems pretty motivated, even though he actually hasn't spoken in the guild for the last 10 months, but does participate now, It's Pepe U. Another member was in favour of Pepe U taking over the guild and the message has a few upvotes. I guess he gets it by deauflt.

@Alys 20 Nov 2016

@Lord Vlad : For Working from home, I like Pepe U's ideas and it sounds like they'd make a good leader, but as you say they've not posted before your leadership question. We have a guideline for choosing only long-term active guild members, except in rare cases. This is nothing against Pepe U specifically, it's just that we've had problems in the past with new guild members becoming leader and then losing interest soon after, so we've found it best to stick to the guideline in almost every case. So, I won't change the leader on that guild now, but we can suggest to Pepe U that they go ahead with their great ideas (they don't need to be official leader to take up a leadership role) and we can look into changing the leader again in a couple of months. I'm thinking that this "no" message would be best coming from me so that if they have complaints, the complaints aren't lodged unfairly against you, so I'll post to that guild a bit later today.

@Alys 26 Nov 2016

Posted to the guild: @Pepe U : Thank you for being willing to be leader of this guild, but when changing leaders after the original leader has abandoned the guild, we have a guideline to chose players who've been active in the guild for a few months - that helps to avoid situations where the new leader also loses interest. I'm sorry about that! It's nothing against you, and your suggestions for sharing your advice and ideas sound fantastic! I do encourage you to go ahead with them now - you certainly don't need to be the official leader to create challenges or make inspiring posts. We'll check back in on this guild in a few months and ask again if any established members are interested in being leader.

Lord Vlad 18 Jan 2017

While we are on reports, I'll report on the Working from home guild. A member named Pepe U volonteered to revive the guild, but was not active in the guild before that, so he was told to do so without being leader. He didn't, he is in the inn, there has been nearly no activity from him at all

Note from cTheDragons 30 Jan 2017

Appears the last activity in the guild was 9 Dec 2016.

'@ Accio Books! 12 May 2017'

PIC @Lord Vlad's last post was 5 months ago; potential Guild leader @Pepe U's last post was 5 months ago, and both are almost off the bottom. Wiki status is to wait a few months, then ask again.Proposal: Ask @Lord Vlad to ask again about volunteers to take over the Guild.

@cTheDragons 17 May 2017

It has been over 5 months since @Pepe U posted in the guild. @Lord Vlad definitely retired as a pirate a over a month (or more). **Recommendation:** I'm happy for another Pirate to rehail now the guild if they wish other wish Roll to new list.

Any suggestions on what can be done for One Game A Month? The leader posted a year ago saying to email them if they disappear, but I am apprehensive about emailing them myself.

cTheDragons 16 March 2017

@Accio Books! I think it should be put on Last Rites as @tenko (Another pirate) tried to find new leader before in chat. Obviously they have logged in again so was not picked up in later lists. Unless you want it?

cTheDragons 16 March 2017

@cTheDragons I was considering picking it up, but it seems almost completely dead, with the most recent conversations being mostly about how dead the guild is, and only by a few people. I don't see much potential in it, so I would think that it should be considered for the "To Be Read Last Rites" classification.

cTheDragons 22 March 2017

Admirals @Alys and @Dewines could we please have confirmation on classifying One Game A Month as Last Rites. Both @Accio Books! and myself feels that it is not worth reviving particular considering the last chatter.

Dewines 27 March 2017

Re the One Game A Month that is definitely a dead guild and even the "Anyone want to be the new leader?" chat is about a year old. @Alys, can you read this guild the last rites please? -

2 tanners: Ship's captain has tiers but has not logged in since January 2016. Conversation has been desultory to non-existent for two years. Nothing in the last 6 months. Hailing (permission from Dewines) in the hope that a new captain may stir things up again.

Actual notes:

@2 tanners 7 Dec 2016

Captains: Seeking permission to hail Ohioans. The founder zoebeagle(UID: e09e3b3c-a2ac-4a01-ab6e-739e83c79115, born 8/5/2013) has not logged on since January 2016, but has tiers so I want to be careful. Nothing in the last year but unanswered 'Hello' messages. Last actual conversation was over 2 years ago. Looking at it, the ship is moribund, but a PM to the ship's captain from a captain or admiral might save it.

@Dewines 7 Dec 2016

@2 tanners, Can we put Ohioans on one side for the moment? We may be coming to the end of the easy guilds, but if there are still busier guilds to consider, I suggest we do those first

@2 tanners 8 Dec 2016

@Dewines Not a problem. Searching through guilds where I can possibly address the problems and Ohians - well, the problems are much bigger than some others. However a hail might give them the chance to shake themselves into action.

@Dewines 7 Dec 2016

@2 tanners, you could try hailing the Ohians, but when you can look down to the eighth most recent and see that it was posted two years ago, I'm not sure there's much life to be found there. But by all means give them a hail and see what happens.

@2 tanners 8 Dec 2016 

@Dewines Ohioans hailed. I agree that they are pretty moribund. If there is no answer in a week, I'll bring it back here. Wiki updated

@2 tanners 15 Dec 2016

@Dewines re Ohioans. In our last conversation I said I agree that they are pretty moribund. If there is no answer in a week, I'll bring it back here. Week is up. Not a peep from anyone. I'm thinking this is a ship in need of Last Rites. Your opinion?

@Dewines 17 Dec 2016

@2 tanners @Alys, I think Ohioans is as dead as a very dead thing. I agree with @2 tanners that we should read it the last rites.

Re the Hardware Hackers, you could try giving them an ultimatum along the lines of: "As there has been no response to my request for volunteers to take over as guild leader, this guild is likely to be considered for closure. If you feel the guild has a future and want to keep it going, please post some ideas of how we can find a new leader who will take the guild forward." Or something like that. please feel free to edit as you think fit. Then state a definite deadline, say mid-January to allow for Christmas, and then we can see if that provokes any response.

Hardware Hackers: Hailed once on 11/28/2016 and twice on 12/16/2016. @dagda has volunteered, but has only talked in the guild once before.

@Dewines 19 Jan 2017

@Accio Books! Regarding Hardware Hackers, I suggest trying a similar approach to what @2 tanners did with the Podcasters guild. You can suggest to @dagda that they should try to make the guild more active as an ordinary guild member. If they succeed, then we can make them leader. Otherwise we'll have to leave it for a while and then try again.

'@Accio Books! 19 Jan 2017'

@Dewines As far as I can tell, there isn't a similar guild

'@Accio Books! 23 March 2017'

Hardware Hackers has only had 3 messages since my last post 2 months ago, all of them being posted 13-14 days ago. I am a bit uncertain about the lack of messages, and would appreciate some direction.

'@Accio Books! 27 April 2017'

Zero responses to my update 3 months ago (4th message), and the latest post was 2 months ago. I feel like this Guild is a canadate for Last Rites.

@cTheDragons 1 May 2017

Hardware Hackers Agree the ship looks like it is sinking however there is still some movement in the last 2 months. Because of this and there is already 16 other Last Rites guilds I suggest we roll this over to next list for a review.

'@ Accio Books! 12 May 2017'

No changes since last inclusion in list. Proposal: Roll over into next list (@cTheDragon's idea), then look at Last Rites.

A guild for teens with chronic illness, whether physical or mental!

Leader Message:

N/A

Pirate Discussion: Guild is moribund. Original leader has left and new leader has never posted in the guild (and are probably unaware that they are guild leader). Lack of positive discussion and unlikelihood of finding a leader led 2 tanners to recommend sinking and referring all active members to The Chronic Illness Guild. @Dewines agreed and after discussion @cTheDragons also agreed. @Alys has hailed the ship asking if there is interesst in retaining it.

Actual discussion:

@2 tanners 18 Dec 2016

@Dewines (longish message) I've been thinking Teenage Spoonies through and here are my basic conclusions I think we should sink this guild in the interests of the participants and send each one a mass-mail PM pointing out the inactivity of this guild and directing them to The Chronic Illness Guild where they will find fellow sufferers of all ages who will listen and give support and occasional advice. My guess is that of the 10 (max) active Habiticans (not counting the Challenge Ent), even fewer will go to The Chronic Illness Guild, but that way at least lies some hope of a conversation or sympathy (not silence).
 * At first blush the guild fills a need where people can at least talk about what's wrong with them and have a guaranteed sympathetic hearing, a real problem for chronic illness sufferers
 * Limiting it to teens is not a good idea, due to graduation issues, exclusion (which hasn't actually happened but might prevent many from even trying) and the problems of a chronically ill teenager trying to manage school, life and just being an active guild member
 * That goes double for finding a guild leader. The current leader has never posted. But having an older, healthier leader somehow seems a poor idea as well. There's a subtext in there which I think I would find disturbing, were I a teen spoonie myself.
 * Most members have never posted, and more than half have not logged on in the past 6 months. Many seemed to have come and gone from Habitica almost instantly.
 * No, or little, positive help comes from this guild, particularly with the departure of Commander777.
 * I don't expect much in the way of decision making ability from those in the depths of chronic illness and related depression.

@Dewines 19 Dec 2016

@2 tanners, you have explained the situation very clearly and I agree with everything you said. They are definitely better off in the Chronic Illness guild where there will be people of their own age and older who can give genuine help and support. @Alys, do you think we need to issue an ultimatum to the guild or just close it so that any members still active can get the help they need?

@cTheDragons 19 Dec 2016

@Dewines I would make the guild privatised in this case and direct players to Chronic illness guild. (After checking with the guild if that is ok)

@2 tanners 19 Dec 2016

@cTheDragons What is a privatised guild? There is no obvious owner for the guild as the founder left it in the hands of someone who hadn't logged into Habitica for months before the founder last posted and who has never posted in the guild itself.

@cTheDragons 19 Dec 2016

@2 tanners It still exists but the guild is hidden from the public lists. Noone can join the guild unless someone is specifically invited. If the guild picks up again the guild can then ask for a new leader.

@2 tanners 19 Dec 2016

@cTheDragons Thanks for that. I'd say that's not really an option for these guys. No-one even answers another's post, even "Is it OK for me to join?" All but one of the posts in the last two years have been from new posters, so I wouldn't imagine there would be any action at all. In my message I said I'd propose sinking this guild in the interests of the participants (and I live with someone who is chronically and severely ill, so I feel for them) and pushing them towards the more positive The Chronic Illness Guild.

@cTheDragons 19 Dec 2016

@2 tanners still agree point them to Chronic Illness, it just you can't really tell what is going behind the scenes and this is one I air on the side of caution. Therefore privatised not delete sink

@Dewines 19 Dec 2016

@cTheDragons, I'm inclined to agree with @2 tanners. If people in this guild are communicating via PM or in the same party, then losing the totally silent guild is not going to affect them. If the leader was still the person who created it, I would agree that privatising would be the way to go because it would be possible for them to return and want to revive the guild. However, @Commander777 was still active in Habitica until June this year, but never replied to any of the posts in the last 2 years. They are no longer in the guild so I suspect they just left and a new leader (who has never posted) was appointed automatically. As @Alys is the only person with the magic database powers required to do anything with the guild, I suggest we leave the ultimate decision to her, though I would recommend just quietly closing it with a PM to anyone still active directing them to the Chronic Illness Guild.

@SweetenedPoision /  I wanted to wait to give someone else a chance to post, but this is one of those guilds that I was hoping to offer my leadership in. I've been in the guild for a long time now, probably since I first joined Habitica, actually, and I love its concept. If I am chosen to lead the Lifehackers guild, there are a few things I can guarantee the pirates as well as each of the members of this guild, the first and most important of which is that I will always remain an active Habitican (I'll be here until the day I can't be lol). The second is that I will be striving to keep the guild active with fun and engaging challenges, as well as ensuring that the chat remains active. I strive to help members with any problem(s) they face as it is, but I hope to continue to do so whether I'm elected the leader of the guild or not. I hope to see this guild become an inviting and welcoming sphere that all Habiticans can enjoy and can't wait to see where it will head in the future. Thank you ❤️😊

Dylan Elliott 19 Nov 2016 I hailed the Life Hackers 7 days ago, and since then only one person, SweetenedPoison (6 days ago), has offered to take leadership. Their post has gotten 9 likes, and they already have an active involvement in the chat. Admirals, can he be made leader now? It doesn't look like anyone else will offer.

Irish Players This guild looks like it been slowing crashing against the rocks. The chat for the last 12 months has not really stuck. There is a recent message there from a Brazilan There is even a hidden pirate message in this guild to check if it is active. Suggestions? Leave or Plunder?

@Dewnies 10 Sept 2016

@cTheDragons, the national guilds for small countries are never going to be very active, but I think it's a good idea to keep them going, if for no other reason than someone is bound to create another one if they look down the list and don't see their country represented. We ought to be able to find an active Irish player to take it over. Regarding the comments from Brazilians. One did say they were studying in Ireland and wanted to make contact with people living in the country, so that seems like a good use for the guild. For the Welsh guild, I've widened the remit slightly so the guild information says: "If you live in Wales or you are a Welsh person living elsewhere in the world, or you just have an interest in Wales and its culture and language, this is the guild for you." Surely doing something similar would bring some life back to the Irish guild?

@cTheDragons 10 Sept 2016

@Dewines agreed. Just trying to find an active Irish member though. It just very quiet and not very attractive

@Dewines 10 Sept 2016

@cTheDragons I suggest asking in the Tavern and/or creating a challenge in the Tavern pointing to the Irish guild. It looks like people are just not finding the guild in the first place.

@cTheDragons 11 Sept 2016

@Dewines Re Irish Guild (sorry on the app) I'm not sure that will work as one of @Alys directions is to find active members in the guild before my post to show they are dedicated to the guild.

Unless @Alys you want to make an exception for this?

@Alys 11 Sept 2016

@cTheDragons @Dewines : I do have a strong preference for choosing a leader from existing posters in that guild, even in cases where there are none suitable (i.e., then don't change the leader) because I don't want to start a precedent of choosing a non-member leader - that could backfire badly if an inappropriate person ever asks for leadership. It's easier to no if I always say no. :) However Dewines might have been just suggesting ways to increase interest in the guild? If you want a decision from me then either try to drum up support for the guild in general and look for a new leader later, or leave it be for now in the too-hard basket. :)

@Dewines 11 Sept 2016

@Alys @cTheDragons Sorry. I'd momentarily forgotten the requirement for the new leader to be an active guild member. In that case, I suggest a two-stage process. First a pirate should try to advertise and re-activate the guild and then, after a few months, if/when it has more members, choose a new leader from amongst them. The pirate doesn't need to be made leader to do that. If you don't want to do it, @cTheDragons I'm happy to have a go. My Irish credentials are slender, but Ireland is just across the sea from Wales and I have an Irish great-grandfather and an Irish son-in-law. :)

@cTheDragons 11 Sept 2016

@Dewines more than happy for you to do it. I have enough on my plate

@Dewines 11 Sept 2016

@cTheDragons No problem! I'm away for a few days from tomorrow, but I'll get onto it when I'm back.

@Dewines 17 May 2017

Arrrr! Greetings, my former shipmates! I have come to report on my final mission as a pirate. I've been trying to revive and find a new leader for the Irish Players guild. Finally I have a volunteer, namely @Always-second-best (6c80ea0d-3fef-4628-b7b5-a233b0e469c4). I know we normally like to appoint someone who has been using Habitica for longer than they have, but otherwise they fit the bill really well and they have started to engage with other guild members. My personal feeling is that we should give them a chance and see what happens. It can't be worse than the current situation. The existing leader hasn't logged in for 3 years! However, if you want to see if they can make a go of it first, can I hand the guild over to another pirate? I ought to be doing more to encourage people to post in my Welsh guild, but want to get Irish Players resolved first. I don't want Habitica to become a full-time job!

@cTheDragons 17 May 2017

@Dewines @Always-second-best (6c80ea0d-3fef-4628-b7b5-a233b0e469c4) seems a good fit for the Irish Players. They have been active and chatty for two months (since birth). I'm happy to add it to my list of guilds. Re: "I don't want Habitica to become a full-time job" I would but virtual gold doesn't pay the mortgage.

Bad Habits

Leader Message:

N/A

Pirate Discussion: Previously hailed by tenko and cTheDragons when guilds was advertising a Linux podcast of that name. Guild became about actual bad habits and is currently being watch by cTheDragons and Riverstone.

>tenko / there is a volunteer to take over. a new person, not someone who has been in this guild. but they seem motivated, they have already made a new challenge and messaged everyone present in the guild. perhaps they should become the guild leader, although they said they wouldn't like that for some vague reasons.

tenko / it's been a target of mine for a while, first i've cleaned the inactive challenges, but then the usual board plunder and sink plan got distracted by a suggestion to reurpose the guild - nothing came through with that though. status unclear.

Message from Alys in Pirate Cove 2016-03-13:

Regarding Bad Habits: There were suggestions in it from pirates from several weeks ago that the guild would be deleted if a new leader wasn't found. However since then we decided to do deletions only very rarely (e.g., only if there's hardly any messages at all since the guild was created). I don't think Bad Habits is suitable for that; at worst it would be privatised. So I've posted new messages to the guild explaining that we are no longer considering deleting the guild but that we can still help them choose a new leader IF they want that.

I felt that some of the messages we'd posted might have come across as a bit too aggressive and demanding, so I've deleted as many of them as I could to improve the tone of the chat area. I kept only the ones that were necessary to give context to the replies from the original guild members. I took screenshots though so that everyone can refer back to the messages - see the links in my message there.

I am NOT proposing privatisation to that guild at the moment, and I won't for several weeks at least. I want to let things settle down and see if a new leader appears. If there's still very little recent chat and no sign of the guild becoming more active in a couple of months, then I might consider privatisation.

Message from Alys in Pirate Cove 2016-06-24:

We'll leave it untouched for a while. There's a recent influx of people having random conversations, so the guild is naturally drifting away from its original purpose. In a couple of months we can ask about a leadership change again and see what happens.

@Alys 27 Oct 2016

@cTheDragons : Swedish Vikings: I've made a post reminding them about the leadership issue, although that was mostly because I wanted to make an unrelated moderator post, and I figured I might as well follow it up with something more useful to that community. I think that if no one steps up to be leader, we can just leave that guild for a few months and ask again later. Feel free to keep handling it if you wish!

cTheDragons 6 Feb 2017

In my journeys in the open water I came about a new ship called Sweden It appears they have just started not realising the Swedish Vikings exists. Could I approach the new ship asking if they wish to merge with Swedish Vikings with Pocketmoose UID: 4eb12960-05bd-4cfb-92de-291c77b1ca19 Born: 16/12/2016 as the new leader of Swedish Vikings?

Alys 7 Feb 2017

One of the posts in the Swedish guild when translated with Google says "Saw that Swedish Vikings directed at all, seemed more focused on learning Swedish. So we go all in Swedish here :)". So it sounds like the guild was aware of the Swedish Vikings guild and felt that they had reason to be separate. However that post was a month ago and the guild is clearly not thriving. The current leader is leader accidentally (Google Translate: "What? How is it that I am now the head of this guild? I'm not even Swedish!"). cTheDragons you can suggest to the Swedish guild members that they might want to move to the Vikings guild since it's more active, but Pocketmoose should not be made leader of that guild (I don't think that should be even suggested to them).

Alys 22 Feb 2017

The Swedish guild that was not Swedish Vikings has been deleted, at the request of the leader, Pocketmoose (4eb12960-05bd-4cfb-92de-291c77b1ca19). The guild's group ID had been 94426766-d771-4b9e-96fb-fcbdfc5a6a24. The leader has been given the four gems it cost to create the guild, and a four gem ransom has been paid to the Pirates.

Lalaitha 8 Mar 2017

Hey! I was looking around for Scandinavian guilds, and found both a Swedish and a Danish guild. Since in both of them, the last post (except the one I just posted in there) is at least a month old. The Swedish guild leader has not been online since 12/4-14 and the Danish leader has been inactive for some months. We have been talking a bit about making a Scandinavian guild (so sort of merging the existing ones), which is also why I posted in both of the guilds. But whether or not I will get a response in these very inactive guilds is sort of unclear to me.

Whops, I forgot to include the links!

Swedish Vikings

Odins Vasaller

.. chatter re watchlist and other guilds...

Lalaitha 16 Mar 2017

(If I'm posting this the wrong place, please let me know!) I've been skimming the Guild Creation and Maintenance tips wiki, where it's mentioned that if the guild you want to create is already semi-covered by other guilds, it's best not to create it. Which makes total sense. I had in mind to create a Scandinavian guild, but a big part of it is already covered by the Swedish Vikings and Odins Vasaller guilds - both are very inactive, though. Should I wait with getting on board with creation until the Swedish and Danish guild inactivity is solved?

Dewines 16 Mar 2017

@Lalaitha In the past we have sometimes helped to organise mergers between guilds. I know that we rationalised all the various sleep guilds and also I think we merged some of the learn Japanese guilds. I see that you have already posted in the guild suggesting the idea of expanding the Swedish Vikings guild to cover the whole of Scandinavia. I've looked into the two guilds and as you say, neither have been very active and Swedish Vikings definitely needs a new leader. I therefore suggest you pursue the expansion idea rather than create a brand new guild. Carry on with the discussion and see if you can get the people in the Swedish Vikings guild to agree to opening it up to Norwegians and Danes. If they do, you could put yourself forward as leader of the guild and if people agree, you could take over and change the name and description to become Scandinavian. (I've checked and the Finns have their own guild with an active leader, so no need to include them as well.)

Lalaitha 20 Mar 2017

So far there has been few responses in Swedish Vikings. One of them mentioned that even a lot of the guild members have been inactive for months or even years. But I guess that's an issue to deal with later. But with that information, I'm not really expecting a lot of responses.

Dewines 20 Mar 2017

@Lalaitha has anyone objected to the idea of making it a broader Scandinavian guild?

Lalaitha 20 Mar 2017

@Dewines Not yet, no. :)

Dewines 20 Mar 2017

@Lalaitha We'll give it a bit longer, just to make sure there are no objections, then we'll see if @Alys is happy with making you the leader so you can change the guild description and then start promoting the guild as being for anyone from the Scandinavian countries.

Lalaitha 20 Mar 2017

Right, there has been one objection to it now. "If other people want the group to be Scandinavian, so be it, but I selfishly would prefer a particularly Swedish group. I participate as much as I'm able, though I do it in English, and I try to follow along in the Swedish posts."

The LearnJapanese Guild Pirate: @tenko Last chat: 26 Sept 2016 @tenko suggested merging with the other Japanese guilds (The JRPG Club, Japanese Deep Cave Adventurers and WaniKani) however the idea did not stick. Possible due to the great troubles. Although all guilds are sort of learning Japanese they all have a different slant and all have posted in the last month so still very active. This ship is most off course with it topic, more culture than language, however if we hail and find a captain then ok. If not look at merging with The JRPG Club which is the closest match.

No volunteers for Captain from my hail 1 months ago. Though a pleas to not delete. A little chatter in this slow moving guild. Recommendation: Keep monitoring and rehail when new list is created. Unless someone can spot an obvious candidate to be captain?

This guild celebrates encounters with nature, large and small. Whether we get to regularly romp in a wildlife refuge or are limited to watching the ants in our cities' sidewalk cracks, we are fascinated and moved by our experiences with other creatures. What do they perceive? How do our lives and choices intersect theirs? What might we learn from them? How do their bodies work? What do we share? Feeling connected to nature is a source of great inspiration and meaning to many, as is a scientific understanding of life. Here, we share our appreciation for wild, living things.

There has been no previous activity by them before. Last conversation was over 8 months ago. 11 out of 31 crew have served in the last week or less. What do you recommend? Although @SweetenedPoison is amazing active player, I'm reluctant to gmake them captain as: They are to be captain of The Saiyans They have not interacted with the guild before. That being said I can't see many other options for the guild.

Alys 7 May 2017 Kemetic Temple: leader has been changed to SweetenedPoison (c84b8ffe-9332-40f5-b899-08657c7f4353). @cTheDragons I agree with all the points you made about it and your caution about the decision was wise, but you're also right that there wasn't a better option, and SweetenedPoison is a contributor and therefore more likely to stay around than average (and also a great player, as you said). I liked their ideas for sprucing up the guild too.

@cTheDragons 27 Oct 2016

The only one left is suggestions for Learn to Draw no volunteers but seems still active. It might be best I just keep monitoring it or see if I can find an active member in the past who might want to step up to the plate. The most obvious suggestion is @soph-e UID c211e865-0098-4f16-beb6-622af43c3b3b born 22/10/2015. Would the Adminrals be ok if PM asking if they want to take over the ship to calmer waters?

@Alys 27 Oct 2016

Yes, I was just looking at Learn to Draw but got side-tracked by moderation issues. I agree that keeping on monitoring it is good. If you'd like to ask soph-e, I'd be okay with that, if they are still posting regularly (if they aren't they might have lost interest and not be a good candidate).

cTheDragons 3 Dec 2016

I have approached soph-e with no response. Again suggestions?

Alys 3 Dec 2016

@cTheDragons : For those other three guilds, I guess we could put them in the too-hard basket for now, and try again in a few months. If others have suggestions though, we don't have to follow mine.

@Memry, the silver pirate 31 Dec 2016 It has been two weeks now and the Enlightenment Guild has not responded to the hail. The owner of the guild has been absent for nearly 9 months. Other members are more active but have not posted in the guild nor responded to our recent post about leadership. Should I hail them about whether they want the guild to survive? There was no response either to @Dewines post about the abandoned challenges remaining in the guild.

@Dewnies 4 January 2017 @Memry, the silver pirate, I've managed to attract a few new people to Enlightenment Central. I have also had an offer to take over some of the challenges. It looks like that guild could be saved and if it becomes busier, I hope someone will volunteer to take over as leader.

@Memry, the silver pirate 8 February 2017: I checked in on the Enlightenment Guild again. There was never a response to my post proposing a change of leadership, nor Dewines' post about their orphaned challenges. However, they are active, although a bit low-key. I suggest we leave them as they are. Apparently they feel no need to change anything.

@Dewines 8 February 2017: @Memry, the silver pirate Thanks for the update about that guild. I was going to make some of those challenges into never ending ones and I think @blakejones99 had volunteered to take over a couple more. I'll see if I can look into it this week. But that's a job for the elves, of course. As far as guild leadership goes, we can probably leave them as they are for now.

@cTheDragons 12 July 2016

Ahoy my fellow pirates! I have come asking advice for the Computer Companions guild. For more than 18 days I asked for willing volunteers for a new guild leader but have had no response. There has been a few posts since then, but I fear the guild is becoming direction-less without a firm captain to guide the winds. Any suggestions? -

@Riverstone 12 July 2016

@cTheDragons That's an odd one. It's pretty clear from the amount of Hi! posts that there's a lots of interest, but it doesn't seem to get off the ground for very long at a time.

@cTheDragons 12 July 2016

@Riverstone It like the subject too broad and that why it doesn't go anywhere.

@Alys 12 July 2016

@cTheDragons : I say just leave that guild as it is. They don't have to have an active leader. If you wanted to, you could post a message saying that if any of the established members want to take on guild leadership in future (assuming the current leader doesn't come back) then they can contact us. Established member means someone who has been posting in the guild for at least several weeks, ideally longer. It's probably also worth putting a note about the new leader being an established member in the initial message that we post to guilds with inactive leaders.

'''@Accio Books! 3 January 2016'''

Update on Computer Companions: No response to my post (sent 3 weeks ago), but there has been some further activity. Suggestions on how to continue?

@2 tanners 3 January 2016

@Accio Books! : For Masters of Destiny, which is less active than Computer Companions, for which I got no takers from my hail. After a little discussion I sent them a modified version of the 'congratulations' message which read as follows (links included where appropriate): To everyone: thought about being the guild leader, or simply promoting the guild,but don't know where to start? There is a guild called The Bulletin Board pushpin in Habitica where you can announce your challenges. Also when you announce them in chat, use some formatting like headings and links so guild members can see them and quickly join. Check out more tips here and Challenge Creation on the wiki and ask any questions in the Guild Leaders & Challenge Creators Guild. But Computer Companions seems like a reasonably active guild.

'''@Accio Books! 12 January 2017'''

Computer Companions: Hailed 12/13/16, to no response, so another message was sent out (as suggested by @2 tanners) to no response.

@Dewines 19 January 2017

@Accio Books! It is difficult to know what to do with these mostly-dormant-but-not-quite-dead guilds. Is there another guild covering the same topics as Computer Companions? If so, we could perhaps suggest a merger. For the moment, you'd better just update the wiki page about the non-response to your call for a new leader and then move on to another guild

@cTheDragons, Helping March of the Blanketeers is a slightly special case because of people who've been involved with it in the past. At Lemoness's request, I've made it private. You can mark it as finished in the wiki list, rather than as a candidate for deletion. Thanks for finding it! A four-gem ransom has been paid.

Learn a Musical Instrument wolfastronaut UID: cc8ce11b-9399-4fc6-a36a-122fed53d9bd Born 21/08/2016 has asked to be leader. They did not contribute before the original post asking for leaders however after a prompt to state there is nothing stooping them to start has created a challenge and posted it in the The Bulletin Board pushpin. Considering noone else has come forward or dissented are you happy they are made leader?

@Alys 6 Feb 2017

I have a strong preference for not making someone a leader when their first post is after the leader question arises. A few times I've seen people who appeared to be enthusiastic about a guild disappear quickly. I guess we can put that guild on hold for a while.

---Chatter about best way to inform leader / PM and which wording etc---

@Dewines 6 Feb 2017

@cTheDragons That is a good point that @Aly raised about keeping leadership discussion public, but I felt that your suggested message might have seemed a bit critical of @wolfastronaut to post publicly because it rather implies that we think they won't keep up their enthusiasm. How about a slightly amended post that could be public? Something like: "I have just heard back from the Powers on High regarding your request to be guild leader. Thank you for applying! Because you appear to be new to the guild they want to be sure of your long-term commitment before transferring leadership. They have therefore decided to leave things as they are for the time being but we will keep an eye on the guild for a few months to see how things go. Please just keep doing what you are doing and promoting discussion, hosting challenges etc. Once you have shown that you do intend to stay around, the issue of who is guild leader will be looked at again. If you need any help please let me know!" I think something like that might sound less critical.

2 tanners 12 May 2017 Thanks for all your work, @Accio Books! I'd suggest that The 0/0 Club needs to be hailed again before we consider Last Rites, since no-one has mentioned sinking it to the crew. At the time, there is a High Achiever Habiticans guildship, so we could suggest 0/0 crew could seek quarters aboard that one if they wish.

Captain has been absent since March 2016. Ship is very active discussing how to achieve dreams and goals. Because each goal is different, they may not want Habitica challenges per se, or need a captain. Can there be a group without a group leader?

Dewines

I think there has been at least one guild that said they were happy as they were and didn't want or need a new leader. I suggest hailing and seeing what the response is. You can make it clear that No Change is a valid option. (Ship hailed as per Dewine's advice 2/12/16)

I have asked them for a bit of detail as to how they would revivify the group, but assured them that no decision to sink the ship has been taken. I'll keep you posted, but one active leader is really all this group needs.

From reading the Linguists, The RolePlayers has been abandon.

"@Sphinx Seems like the guild is intended to gather fans of a real world group of Role playing games. I've looked their other medias (site, social) and they are really active. I'll send some emails and private messages to them. Seems like nobody is using that guild anymore. Btw, the guild have been renamed to 'Roleplays abandoned. We have a new guild now!' and the chat only have random 'Anybody here?' messages."

If it has been abandon could we capture and either plunder or re-purpose please?

@cTheDragons : Boarding the RolePlayers concerns me because it sort of seems that they're still using it to recruit members for a party or private guild, and it's harder for us to handle sensitively because the people involved might not speak English well and we might not get good translations of their language from Google. I want to put it into the too-hard basket at the moment.

The Chinese Users guild with the help of my new crewman @EarthQ (UID: 3871de28-9e1d-4c55-90e2-d27cadff055e) have translated our declaration of mutiny for a new captain. We have had one crewman volunteer @Lee7 UID: 24915b11-4f40-434e-a85f-a4eb9d2254ea Born: 16 Sept 2015. Their post states "Hi everybody, as the time and interest I have, I can manage this guild in the period without founder. Of course I'm still learning, please help me if i need. Thanks!" There are 5 likes for the post and one supporting. However @Lee7 never posted to the guild before. I have noticed that two linguist contributors, 青木 (UID 4027fc39-7112-4d0e-b5a3-697dd20c08d6 Born 30 July 2015 ) and Unaw (UID: a6b1fc1f-abd8-416b-b5f0-bda8fa5a1bac born 27 July 2016 ), are assisting users in the guild with questions about Habitica. I'm not sure if Unaw is recruiting for their party too though. Should I post the standard new to the guild but wants to be the leader post? or ask if the other contributors if they are interested?

Dewines 23 March 2017

@cTheDragons Re The Chinese Users guild, would it be possible to try a two-pronged approach? Namely, to say that we won't appoint a leader just yet and encourage @Lee7 to prove themselves by stimulating discussion in the guild whilst also asking if any of the more established guild members would like to step forward. I usually try to encourage regular participants to take over as leader by pointing out that being leader doesn't really involve much more than they're already doing.

Dewines Re Chinese Users Re asking if any of the more established guild members did you want me to put that in the public message? or just PM them or both?

It's been nearly 4 weeks since I messaged the Gaymers guild, and I've only had one response re leadership, which is this: "Well, I'm probably a lousy candidate since I already have one guild that I'm sort of an absentee leader of. However, I would hate to see this guild go away, especially now when there seem to be negatives at every turn. An occasional escape is more than welcome!" It's from @MaxHedrm. What should I do about this?

You can encourage @MaxHerm (UID: 0fbddc3a-8fde-4fd8-9780-bff35a0f04bf) and any other fellow members they are welcome to make challenges in the guild and promote them through the The Bulletin Board pushpin to promote guild membership. Maybe modifying the New captain message as stated in The Inactive List (At the top).

Well, you made it out of grad school alive. You may have a degree for your troubles, or just feel lucky to leave it all behind before it makes your life worse. No matter what, we're here for support. Come chat about the transition back to the real world, and get and share advice with people in similar situations.

Leader Message:

Welcome everyone! Share a bit about yourself, or just start asking questions, and we'll help each other transition back to the real world.

If you have any good resources, book names, websites, etc... post them and we can make a list in the description to refer back to as needed.

Grad School Recovery I noticed there are few people in the past posting quite regular, but possible because they now past being past at Grad School that it not relevant? Suggestions? This guild is quite small. I could approach some of the active members. But not sure if anyone just moved on to the next stage of their life.

@Alys 11 Sept 2016

Grad School Recovery - let's leave it be for now. We can revisit in a few months and if there's still no interest, close or privatise.

@cTheDragons 6 Feb 2017

During the time of bearded men who do not sail ships but fly and when ritual of giving of treasures away occurs, (So un-piratey!) Admiral Dewines asked me to check in on Grad School Recovery. Only 5 posts have occurred in the guild since my original hail on the 16 August 2016. 1 Hi, 3 messages regarding old guild that was deleted and 1 for a party. Not sure it worth hailing. Thinking it should be added to the Last Rites list. Admiral and fellow pirates your thoughts?

@Alys 6 Feb 2017

Last Rites, yes, but can you add a message to me there that I should talk to the guild first? It's a bit less dead than some of the others I've deleted so I want to be sure I remember to notify them about deletion well in advance. Just copy this message from me directly into the wiki page if you want.

A local guild for all those in the Denver, CO (and surrounding) area. I will be looking to come up with challenges and tasks that are unique to the Denver area, and always up for suggestions and team input. Bring your friends!

Virtually, but not completely moribund. Every 4 months there is a small burst of activity caused by a newbie, then it settles into silence. Ship hailed. As per a suggestion from @cTheDragons, I will start to sow conversation starters.

@2 tanners 21 Oct 2016 On a happier note Denver CO has started back into life and I'll re-encourage Denver denizens to volunteer as captain.

@Dewines 18 Nov 2016 No one wanted to volunteer to be captain but the guild is not yet dead enough for deletion. After discussion in Pirate Cove, it was decided that the guild should be observed for six months to see what its natural activity level is when there is no pirate involvement. Look at it again mid-May 2017.

2 tanners 22 Apr 2017 Once there was no pirate involvement, chat dropped to zero. However, captain logged in to Habitica so for the time being, review marked as finished.
