Introduction
Written by Lacey
Dear Readers,
As time goes on we see constant change, whether that be with ourselves, our jobs/schools, or even in JAWA. There is going to be a lot of changes happening in the other clubs across JAWA so stay tuned for each as they happen. Do remember that if you have any questions or wish to join the a club contact the respective managers.
In this issue you will come across the Leaders thoughts, Zu's Member of the issue, Wolfy's Interview, and the Video of the month.
Remember as always I am always looking for pictures for the columns that anyone can summit to me.
The (JAWA) Clubs
By Nightwing
This month I want to talk about the clubs, their activity and their future.
I find that a lot of the time I hear people making comments about a clubs activity or
what they are doing, producing or presenting to the clan. This is something which
I think can be improved if a club gets the backing of the members, if not then it is likely
the club will fail and be very limited in their output.
I find that certain clubs are either very successful, or verging on inactive. This is something
which will happen from time to time, as members come and go, lose interest or become increasingly
interested in what the signed up for. The truth is, a Managers job is simple, provide
administration, organisation and support to the members of a club. This can be done through
active participation, which I believe is something all managers should be doing with their
respective clubs.
Duster-Man is probably a prime example of how a Manager of a club should be, while a long time
event planner, Duster work his way up to the Event Manager and through managing the club still
is able to produce most of the events within the club. Something which should be applauded.
I'd like to see more of an active participation from our managers and the generation of more interest
in our clubs. It's difficult to get interest going when people are not willing to work with you to
make something happen. The second most important thing is the members of each club, they are
what is keeping the club alive and If they lose interest, then something needs to be changed.
Clubs should adapt, evolve and change in accordance with what is needed at that particular time.
For example, the Knights has gone somewhat inactive of late and what I want to get going is
TFFA practice sessions and more active clan matches from the knights. This is something that will
take time to build up, but I'm confident that over the next few months we can get people
interested again.
Do you have something you can offer to a club? Whether it's your creative side, combat skills, event
planning or more. MAKE it happen, sign up, show interest or work towards getting in the club. Clubs
cannot exist without member participation, without the support of the members and the
ever changing nature that makes up a club.
Over the course of the next few months, Clubs are going to be either, re-assigned, re-formated or
discussed to make them more appropriate for what we need at the moment and for the future. Things
are changing and plans are in place to hopefully give you a better look towards our clubs.
Zu's Trophies: New Trophies
By Zu
Welcome, dear readers, to the Member of the Issue. Today I present you... Zantos and Lostris!
1. Hello, as you may already predict, the first question will be quite obvious. Why did you apply for the councilship and what are you feelings after you two were selected several days ago?
Zantos: I applied for the same reason anyone would apply, to help contribute, improve and maintain the awesomeness of (JAWA) as well as bringing balance to the force. When I got council I totally knew I was going to get it because how could I not? I'm Zantos. (I was completely shocked).
Lostris:I applied for council again because I want to help and assist the clan the best I can. Due to real life things I wasn't able to fulfill the council responsibilities as well as I wanted to. I am very happy to have a second run at it now that my real life is stable. This way I can focus on JAWA and assist where needed.
After I applied for council I was pretty nervous because I really wished to get a second run at council. When I got elected I was very happy.
Now that it's been a few weeks, I still enjoy this job and I hope that I can assist JAWA and it's members as much as I can.
2. With that in mind, prior to your current councilship, you already were council members before resigning from the spot. What were your wherebouts and why did you decide to come back or restore the activity?
Zantos: I had some time off during the Christmas holidays and it gave me the chance to get back involved with the clan and get to know a lot of members I didn't have the chance to get to know. You bunch of loveable members you.
Lostris:When I resigned from council I had to many things going on to really focus on the job. I believed that I had the time and focus again for the council job, so I applied.
3. Any inspirational words to our humble and noble readers?
Zantos: One day you might be almost as awesome as me but I doubt it..
Lostris:I honestly have no idea!! Posted Image Just be yourself.
Wolfy's Forest: KitKat, FatKat.
By Wolfy
Wolfy: Hello everyone and welcome back to my forest! This interview will be a challenge for me, since I was told not to eat my interviewee. Hello McFish, how are you?
McFish : Hey Wolfy. I'm good, I'm good. How're you?
Wolfy: Good, thanks! Could you introduce yourself briefly?
McFish : Well, my real name is Tom. I live in England, Birmingham and I'm currently 18 attending college.
Wolfy: Alright! You joined (JAWA) in early November 2013, what are your impressions about the clan so far?
McFish :Aw, I love the clan. It's like one big cuddly family! When I first joined, I did feel that warm hello, even though most people knew me. Gave me a smile!
Wolfy : Okay! You're a talented artist, since you're working both for the (JAWA) Arts and the comic in the Post. What would be your next objectives?
McFish: Well, thank you for the compliment! My next objective is becoming a event planner. I've had so many event ideas colaborated with those over TeamSpeak that I want to do. Such as swoop races and mixed dueling torny's with maps which alter the game atmosphere. Other than an event planner, I would like to become a server admin.
Wolfy : I see. Outside JKA and gaming in general, what do you do in your spare time?
McFish : Most of the time I'm doing my Art projects and on occasion go out to see people. I watch quite a lot of movies too. That's pretty much it.
Wolfy: Very well! Now it is time for the... (JAWA)-Related Quiz! You'll have to answer as quickly as possible, and to close browsers and everything that could help you out. Ready?
McFish: NO, NOT CHROME! Ok, ready.
Wolfy : The (JAWA) Hall of fame was created the January of which year??
McFish : 2005?
Wolfy : Very close, but it was 2006! 0/5! Next question: How many Hall of Famers are there? You can get incorrect by 3.
McFish : 32?
Wolfy : The answer was 82 ! Still 0/5! Next one : How many Hall of Famers had their name starting with the letter V? You can get incorrect by 1.
McFish : 10?
Wolfy : Wrong again, sorry! 0/5! It is Valtar! Fourth question: How many members recieved a Contribution Award? Again, you can get incorrect by 3.
McFish : 24
Wolfy : The answer was 26, but you get the point ! 1/5! Who was the first person recieving a Contribution Award?
McFish : Ah now... I'm gonna go with me. Err, Matt?
Wolfy : Nope, it was Jasp ! That makes you 1/5!
McFish : Better than 0 :L
Wolfy : Thank you for answering my questions, McFish! Is there anything else you would like to say?
McFish : No problem at all Wolfa, anytime! I would like to say Hi to my Mom, and Giffy, and Nightwing. Also, I would like to thank the (JAWA)Arts, and tell them that, even thought every single one of them is completely busy with stuff, they produce incredibly good stuff and I thank them for recruiting me even though recruitment was closed ! And thank you Wolfy for taking the time to interveiw me. That's it for me! *flies out of the window*
Wolfy : Thank you for your time! We will conclude our interview with these words! Thanks a lot for reading it, and I hope to see you for the next edition of the (JAWA) Post!
