Ok, let’s talk about marketing. Justin, I have worked in the Office of Public Relations for WCU and I know first hand what it takes and how much it costs to get the word out there to every school or newspaper just in this state alone. It is very very expensive. So unless you guys want to do a LAN just to fund mass mailings, which you don’t have the required dedication to do anyway, drop it. It is also highly presumptuous of you guys to think that putting fliers in the local high school is going to bring more students the this particular school. How many of you actually live within 1 hour of WCU? I can attest to the fact that yes a few students do come to WCU from local schools, but most come from many hundreds of miles away. Adam and I both lived 5.5 to 6 hours away. Adam has a point about high school students not looking at fliers. They don’t care, it doesn’t apply to them at that moment. However, gamers do get on MIRC and GIRC. People spam all the time, they do it to get a ringer, to get a scrim, to advertise for their new businesses and products, etc. I have seen it work first hand so don’t knock it because you don’t know how to do it, it is very simple.
In addition, there is a simple reason why Adam stopped hosting servers in his room, you can’t do it anymore. Since when do we use Aphrodite to host gaming servers? I thought that was just for the website… Having four Counter Strike servers is a waste…its all the same game with different mods. Even I know that and I don’t play the game.
Kuros, you are on the right track. Just keep your eyes open and don’t let others push you around. You seem to understand the gaming club mission, where as it is doubtful that others do.
FYI, the constitution that is linked from the homepage is outdated, as in two semesters old. I attached the updated constitution to a thread I believe called constitution in the exec forums. If you do not update it, then some people’s positions do not exist and thus they lose authority. I would suggest that someone read the constitution aloud at a meeting, because even though I know I have tried it in the past and gotten promises that people would read it, it is very apparent that only two to three people in this club have and I am included in that number.
