I'm at the brain storming stage on this one. I need to sort these rules out I know.
Given that we have a responsibility to the rest of clanuk, much as we'd like to get people onboard quickly, we should take as long as it takes.
My understanding is trials are normally one or two months, and members only get to trial one person at a time. We probably have more time than we imagine. Time passes quickly. But I'd like to get people officially trialled sooner rather than later, giving us a bigger pool of sponsors for more trials later.
For the time being let's keep to one trialist per sponsor (who is a full member).
A trial probably needs at least four game sessions and five YES votes at this early stage, taking no less than one month. Standard clanuk criteria apply i.e competent, considerate, general good egg. Playing 24/7 is NOT required
The sponsor should make the time to play with the trialist to hit the four sessions, and ensure at least five people have been involved to take part in the vote. Rather than leaving the sponsor to his own devices, the officers (and that means GM too!) should make themselves available to play with the trialists. Hopefully that way we can meet the 1 month period. If this hasn't been met then barring any NO votes, the trial will be extended.
So being an officer ain't exactly a bowl of roses if you like to do your own thing all the time.
Anyone else can help out too of course!
And if we get more members on board this all becomes a lot easier.
But lets get our untrialled peeps in the system first before we look for more.
Of course there are always special cases like someone who wants to be in the Guild but not Clan UK. Do we allow this? If so, we should probably have a shadow trial anyway (though not taking an actual sponsor's trial slot) and have a vote after a specified period. Otherwise we're going to end up with Guild members that we can't keep in contact with.
Feel free to comment. I'm rarely right first pass
