LazaHorse Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 (edited) Alright... lately I've seen forum post after status after wall post after forum post about how you wish there was so-and-so division, no divisions at all, or different leaders for your divisions. I'll just let you in on a little secret from my own experience as well as conversations I've had with the members of leadership I pal around with: DIVISIONS DO NOT FUCKING MATTER!!! These are common misconceptions about the division system we are using ATM: You are being forced to play the game of your division. You must play a set quota of hours/minutes/seconds/lifetimes on that game each week. You must get along with everyone in your division. The division you're in must be the game you play more than any other game. You must stick with the people of your division before anyone/anything else in HG. And now for some truths that not all of you seem to get: You are expected to be active with the division you are in. You can CHANGE DIVISIONS. Being in any specific division does not help you getting higher in rank (Strategy people......). There is no preference for or against the people of any division by the leadership. You can and are EXPECTED to play with people both in and out of your division. You guys are placing WAY TOO LARGE OF AN EMPHASIS on what was primarily made as an organizational tool. Divisions were put in place so that leadership could more easily delegate power, authority, and policing among the members. Rather than going to whoever your favorite DL or advisor is when you have an issue with someone/something, you know who to go to depending on the division you are in. It had NOTHING TO DO with forcing people to play a certain game or separating members into different sects of HG. It was simply an organization tool for leadership to better service the hundreds of people in HG. YOU DO NOT... hold on this needs to be bigger... YOU DO NOT NEED A DIVISION FOR EVERY GAME YOU PLAY! You want to play VA:MP? You want to play Minekraft? You want to play Call of Duty? Go ahead. No one is stopping you. There are people in MMO division, Strategy division, and CSS division that I can BY NAME recommend to you if you are looking for people to play any of those games. Instead of thinking we need a division to organize people, how about taking some initiative and doing it yourself? Stop putting emphasis on something that was supposed to be structural and nothing more. It's like going to school and then complaining that you can't meet friends because there isn't a video gaming or whatever club at your school. That's not the only place to find people who have similar interests. Instead of relying on institutions put in place to find people to game with, JUST BE SOCIABLE and find them yourself. The divisions are fine as is as long as leadership respects the divisions, and leaders focus on the betterment of the divisions they've been appointed to. You know who I'm talking to. Everyone else, just play the games... and stop worrying about something that barely matters. Real.

I feel like you didn't... Yeah you didn't. This isn't for council, in fact that's probably the ONE GROUP it doesn't apply to. Good try though.

What choice? Where in my post did I ever ask anyone to make a choice? Again... (re-)read it. The call is for people to stop giving a shit about their divisions, not for them to be removed/remodeled.
