Link added to front page to Time Zone (What is Yours?) Thread:

This may help with setting up clan battles.

I encourage every clan member (and every other frequent player) to post to this thread.

And we all thank Vortex_Master for the term "Leader's Lounge," right?

On other news, I am glad that this is here. It is much like a World Congress, or the UN, or any other analogy you may have.

I would like to discuss the issue of inactive clan members. We all have them. (Except for newer clans.) The question of what to do with them has always been a heavy one. Keep them? Kick them? I believe what WC has done in honour of it's inactive is a fair ground, but it still bothers me having so many inactive members sitting around.

I should have stated that in my earlier post. It was a PM from V_M suggesting the term "Leader's Lounge" - I added that to my post based on that PM.

And your question about inactive members is certainly a good opening topic for clan leaders - perhaps they have suggestions that other clan leaders might find of value.

Beatle, if you get this up and running smoothly and effectively I'd be more than happy to vote yes on stickying this. Great idea, just needs work.

Thanks. I agree that it needs a lot of work. At this point I am hoping for a few things and I will do my part to see them work:

1) Input from other Clan Leaders. I am hoping that they provide input and begin to move this into the direction that they would like it to go.

2) Content. I would like to use the front page of this thread as a "One Stop Shop" for the combined clan community. Not the individual clans - Just the combined clan community. If it relates to multiple clans/all clans - then I would like to be able to find it from the front of this thread.

3) The future. The future of Clan Wars, battles, VTI Clan Matches, etc. If it is going on in Clans - I would like to see action here.

ofc, no one has to agree with me on this - but I think a common area for Clans is a good thing. Each clan has at least one area - some of them more - and that is fine. But now we have a place for the Clan Leadership (and Mods) to come together. Our "Leader's Lounge" and also how the rest of the forum community sees us as a collective.

This could be the start of how a new player first sees clans as a whole, rather than as individual clans.

That is, in part, what I am hoping for. I look forward to input from many to move this to where it needs to be.

Good plan, I give you my permission to advertise and list the VT's and their results in any way you see fit.

I think this is among one of the better ideas we as a community have made. I'd suggest making a chatzy page for clan leaders and people they choose as reps. You could put the link to it on the front page, just password protect it. This would be a better solution for the leaders lounge because only leaders (and reps) could see it.

Active clans/users list is a MUST have on here, it would be very very useful.

Let me know if I'm asserting my opinions too strongly, I like giving advice and suggestions, but I'm a little headstrong sometimes.

Okay - I don't know if this is a mistake or not - but I have created the Vortex Wars Council Forum. I am sending the link by PM to the Council members.
