well
hang on wait
is there no like...
i mean
there are still some of the like. unofficial groups
right?
are we making an entirely new one rather than promotng one thats at least slightly established?

[crows]

here’s the thing like
our unofficial groups are v v inactive - i don’t even know if. leaders are interested
i mean i have north end and i had camp apocalypse with me, i don’t know if the wolves even has a leader
i think honey as well has a group but that hasn’t been established
and honestly a lot of those groups are like
similar morals wise to all the others

Like I want to see a bunch of stragglers end up in some cool territory, or I want to see people splinter off from one of the other groups, or some disaster that drives people somewhere fun. I guess that's? My stance? Like the plot and interaction is the fun part, in my opinion.

it just
idk i feel like we should at least consult anyone who leads a group there, outside of. you an people who are already here

because the thing iss, the official groups are also p inactive and inactivity is just like--how things are? and weve been talking abt a new tnw group for a while and it never happened so those groups may have felt kinda. shafted
well
except for the ones youve led sisnce youre
here
doing thIS
but ykNOW what i mean
like i feel like we should at least bring em into the discussion?

and i agree with rev sortOF in that at least, I want it to be more natural. however I feel like limiting it to people who are currently loners or in the official groups who splinter off is also kinda shafting the current, or anyone who makes an unofficial group.

But that is why id rather see one of the c urrent groups...grow into an official one rather than just creating one here an now and boom its official
and i do like the ideas rev proposed i just ont think they should necessarily be the ONLY possibilities and idk if rev meant them to be the. ONLY options anyway, just. examples

but yeah like. i wanna feel like i. or whoever is involved. is really part of making it official
not just boom bang

BUt becaue we dont have any like goal to strive for, theres really no way to really motivate people in unofficial groups to get to an official point with activity so we cant expect them to grow , really

[align=center][div style="width: 500px; text-align: justify; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 1.4;"]We as staff haven't like. Limited it to only new groups or anything, we're letting the members drive this so if people agree with you and think that an already existing unofficial group should get the spot, that can definitely happen. But this is really about what everyone in the community wants to see? If that makes sense? Maybe we could do a poll between bumping an unofficial one and creating a new one, then work from there?

[ashen]

what im trying to say though is like

there's never been a way for unofficial groups to really strive for official status , or even anything from staff saying becoming official if youre active enough or w/e is a possibility

and like right now? no, probably, there's not enough interest in the current other groups. but if we make a whole new group there's unlikely to be any change in the system that's still very bad for unofficial groups.

[justify]Track, I feel like we need to increase site activity and whatnot before we introduce a new group.

also ngl i was reading through the covens thing which is honey and
i mean idk maybe their morals are similar but the idea of the group itself is s  o cool
like i def dont wanna toss them out of the running when we DO bring a new official group into it, and ik they are still. active
not active like. busy necessarily but they're still up and going
