Agreed. Like I said before in this thread, I've seen this happen I don't know how many times to other guilds and I think that the people who would do such a thing are lower than pond scum.
One of the guilds that got destroyed because of rouge Officers was Erich Uchiha (Partners in Crime Party Officer's) guild, I forgot the name of it though. Before he joined PIC, he used to run a guild and there was this one kid who Erich thought would be a good Officer, so he promoted him, and a month later, this Officer ejected all the members. Erich knew it was him because the only other Officer was Erich's RL friend, so it couldn't have been him. So the next day, he went to Abassa to look for the rouge and asked him why he ejected everyone and he said, "Because I felt like it."
So you see, like Max and Bart stated eariler, you have to be careful about who you promote, because a good guild isn't only judged on the
Guildmaster---the
Officers prove a lot as well. They are in a lead position and there for, they are expected by the good GM to help lead the guild and represent it in the best way possible.
If you're inviting people into your guild and they ask to be promoted 2 seconds later, and I'm being honest when I say this:
They're either looking to destroy your guild, or they just want the power to boss others around. A good Guildmaster will
never promote
anyone that asks for power because they don't know what it means to be an Officer in
your guild.
If any other GMs are reading this, I recommend that you take into consideration that there will always be people who would want to cause trouble for other guilds either out of revenge, or for amusement, or any other reason. Like Bart said before, I would establish a guild site and urge the members/officers to join POF or any other site so that if anything like that happens, they can always reassemble.
What I'm about to say
has happened to PIC and I just want to give everyone a head's up about this: If anyone makes another pirate and treats to eject all your members because they say that they have an Officer pirate in your guild and you don't know who...
Demote everyone other than your most trusted, otherwise demote EVERYONE! Risks like that aren't worth taking and although it may be Heck for a few days, it all will resolve in the end if you're a serious GM enough to keep a close enough eye on all the suspects, and eventually, EJECT the one (s) who
you think are the one (s) behind all the mayhem. And yes, this happened to PIC a long time ago in the summer and we DID find out who was treatening. (Good thing he didn't eject any members.)
