Well I don't know if this sugestion has been made or not. But if it is disregard this.

So i was looking at the Post of the week sugestion and thought it would be cool to have an award (a mention on the forum or even an in game reward or even a special rank in the guild) for the person/people who goes beyond to help others and contribute significantly to the guild (Think resource collection for City building, crafting and donating in game currency to the guild)

How this could work is that the members would post the name of the nominies who they think should receive this Player of the week award/reward. Lets say the Week runs from Monday to Sunday. Guildies will post the nominies and what exactly they did that makes them deserved of this PotW award/reward through out the week from monday to sunday. and on the next Monday the officers or some other higher ranking personal in the guild would make the final decision and the winner will be posted.

How this is helpfull to the guild?
This way we make sure that we appriciate and recognize the people who help this guild/community gorw and prosper. and also it will encourage other people to do the same
This is just a tought i don't know if this would even work

oh i thought you meant the guy or gal who could pick up the most "opposite" sex

I like it. I'll toss some nominees out after the game rolls out...so EVERYONE be nice to me!

Well we could have the PIMP of the week award too if you want

I like the idea, however...(of course, there's always a but, right? LOL)

For those that have never run a guild, we are putting a lot of work on Brakk's shoulders. Maybe a player (not playa) of the month rather than each week?

I don't want it to become whoever plays the most though (I plan to play quite a lot).

Player A plays 30 hours a week and can offer a lot more. Player B plays 10 hours a week and offers as much as their playtime allows. They're both giving a generous amount considering the time they play but Player A will always be giving more.

And there's people that give an amount of resources but answer a lot of questions in Guild Chat. Maybe noting a few players each month would be better. "Hammerfist recognizes player A for their generous donation of resources. Hammerfist recognizes player B for their invaluable help in guild chat..." etc...

We have a bunch of people that barely know each other.

For some time, before we get to know each other better, I think it is better to stay away from singleing out anyone for whatever legitemate reason it may be.

The alternative would be "Introduction by the peer". We can create subforum where guild members can praise their fellow guildmates based on mutual experience and their contribution to the team/guild

a good idea... for the future. let everyone get into the flow of things first. maybe once we have a town/city.

philanthropist of the week? just remember you total contributions and well have an arms race to be the most popular one who gave the most to the guild. something like that...

i took it to the extreme for debate purposes. i think that it borders outside of the reason the guild was formed in the first place. however, the facto that everyone here is really nice and give credit where credit is due im sure that youll earn your respect quite easily through your merit. youll probably have a higher lvl than most so youll be helping alot of the nonearly access members out more than the average bears where im sure youll be commended in all good time, by everyone who sees the deed, as opposed to putting a guy up on a pedestal for something he did for boss, where another guy got passed up two months in a row for doing twice that and now secretly is bitter.

just playing devils advocate for the most part, I still sit on the fence on this isssue.

i pretty much agree with this. sounds like singling out people would just make things too competitive.
