BUT this is the WCU Gaming Club for the students of the school, and they should be able to learn how to do the things you guys do and do them if they want to.
This club most certainly is not for the students of the school. This club was meant to be nothing more than a recruitment tool. What the on campus students get are nothing more than side benefits of the primary goal of the club. If outside influence helps recruit new students, that’s the way it needs to be.
Which one of the current on campus executives:
1) designed the website front page
2) designed and installed the website forum
3) talked to Keith Corzine about aquiring the current Gaming Club server TRON
4) installed any of the game servers
5) registered the irc channel
6) got the initial equipment from WCU IT
7) ever designed a theme for the website
8) paid for the IPB forum out of their own cash?
The answer is that not one of you has done anything for this club that hasn’t been handed to you. The club needs these people and will not survive without them. Josh can barely turn on a TV, much less code a php backend. Giving him access is a bigger security risk than giving it to Kevin Mitnick himself.
Also, SGA does NOT have the power to “break-up” WCU Gaming. They have the power to stop funding. How much money are you making from entry fees? Who pays for the food? SGA is running a power play because a few children thought that it would be funny to attack WCUG with this “anonymous is legion” bull*edited* and because the current administration doesn’t actually look at the rules and regulations themselves and takes everything they hear from whatever source as law. They’ve been scared into this point, it has nothing to do with what they feel is right.
ITT WCUG begins to die.
Ok everyone I just got off the phone with Adam and here is what is going to happen.
1. No one is losing their position. I believe that everyone misinterpreted what I have been trying to say in this thread,I never intented to let this sort of message off, which is why I wanted to hold a meeting to discuss it in the first place (I dont like dealing with these sort of things in the forums, I’ve been told I sometimes come off as hostile even though Im not meaning to lol). My intention for the meeting was to get the Alumni and concerned people to talk it out and see if we could all come to a consensus about what needed to be done. I tried to stay neutral for this because I wanted to understand how the Alumni feel about this and now I do. However, I did not prevent the constant berating and name calling on here, and for that I feel as if I have failed and I am sorry. But anyway no one is losing thier positions.
2. If we do have some interest from people here at WCU about running things, I am going to send them to an advisor to teach them (if they really want to do this). So now Im hoping that you guys are ready to teach some people how to do the stuff you do!
Well that seems about it, Adam if I forgot anything or didnt pharse something right do correct me. Oh and if anyone has any questions about anything else, feel free to shoot me a message. And if it isnt obvious, we arent going to have the meeting Thursday lol. Take care everyone.

You are far from hostile man. Never blew your lid this whole time, takes a lot to keep that kind of coolness. You seem more like a soft teddy bear. And I mean that in a good way. lol Anyway glad to see everything was resolved!
Cheers!
I think we should just forget about this issue for the next two weeks or so. That way we can concentrate on making the LAN work. The controversy can wait. If nothing else, we can cool down a while.

I personally imagine everyone on the forum sounding in a tone related to their avatar.
Thus,
– you look/sound kinda aggressive and *edited*ed off
– nurayz looks/sounds like a baby
– masterp looks/sounds like a nerd

oh what the hell lol
go crash in a race or something. I’m changing my avatar now rofl
Great then I must look like a dildo lol, according to what I was told today. Though i will admit MS Paint isnt the best tool to make an avatar in. On a more serious tone my opinon has changed towards this topic after reading this post in its entirity. Im getting really tired of the Console Gamers want to kill the PC side attitude, Shingi and Ephraim were nothing but supportive of Alumni rights. Also SGA is not the enemy of early years. Our advisor is strongly involved in SGA, and now that Mike Correli is in charge of the whole Leadership Program on campus alot has changed since the days of Bart Andrus. I was on the Financial Committe of SGA my freshman year and as a matter of fact Gaming Club was one of the few organizations that actually got what they asked for, and I remember they were giving the exec the run around at that time. SGA does have it faults and im not trying to be a bleeding heart saying everything they do is right, but as far as money goes these days at WCU everyone it tighting their belt. I dont really understand anything mitch said but I would like to learn and I know it wont be instant or easy, I just dont want to have the Alumni have to fix every minor detail. You guys have done alot for this organization and in most cases above and beyond that which was expected. You deserve a lil’ R&R every now and then. These of course my own opinions and if they upset you then thats your prerogative.

He is referring to some of the responses in this thread. He didn’t like the “attitude” that was portrayed. The “attitude” was Console people want to kill the PC side. And I believe Thor is right. I am technically console since that is mostly what I play but I love the PC side just as much and both sides make up the entirety of the club.

I still think your avatar looks like robocop, thus i imagine robocop talking to me.
I talked to Kaz-Ka and everything was just a big misunderstanding. The underlying issue was the concern of some of the club members and executives that live at the university wanting to help out with the club and felt that it wasn’t an option. All of the alumni do have some power, but alot of us do not use the powers we have and those who do use it in under the titles we hold (Mitch and I). However Mitch (Master P) and I would love to train someone for our positions to help move the club forward. The fact is training them will take time that we haven’t had access to in the past few months.
As of now if anyone would like training from any position that you feel you may want to hold in the future please contact me and I will get you started on that path. If for some reason I do not feel that you can deliver the tasks at hand after our month or so of training I will advise you elsewhere. Sometimes it is not personal, its technical and all of us have years of dedication and work that we really do not want to see go to waste on an accident, so we get nervous sometimes about who is doing what. Which is why we will always have the powers to see what is happening.
Anyway we are not ever never never never going to remove an alumni permissions unless they are considered a danger to harming a relationship, a sponsorship, or anything we have built. Having that said i challenge anyone to show proof of misdoing on us. If you ever have a problem with an alumni let me handle it. I know them all on a personal level.
As of now this topic is closed and should not be open to discussion to the general public. If you have a problem with an exec call Kaz-Ka. Alumni call me and if I don’t handle it first then call Kaz-ka.
Now lets get the rest of this lan together.
