Pretty much the way family events work is that we try to have at least 1 major family event for each room of the house.
Monday PM: WvW with Spartan
Thursday PM: WvW with Foghladha & Spartan
Friday PM: GW2 101 with Bes
Saturday AM: Crafting Focus Event with Lakshmi
Sunday AM: PvE Focused Event with Foghladha (Rotating between Rift and GW2)
Sunday Early AM: WvW with Elth and the night crew
We have plans for a Roleplay event to launch soon just working on the logistics.
Now the thing about Elders is we are not supposed to be the only ones leading events. The Elders are a support team for the activity leaders. We went to great lengths to make sure the eldership is NOT comprised of Activity Leaders because the tasks we do take away from game time. We prefer to keep Activity Leads on the battlefield running events and then pull them in once a month during our warlord meetings to discuss what we can do to make their events more successful.
Every member Lorgair and higher has the ability to lead an event for the family. It SHOULD NOT be only elders running events. If you want to run something please grab the reigns and run it. If we wait for the Eldership to run it not much is going to be happening because all of our elders get tied up with management and don't have the ability to break free and lead. That is why we have the family set up the way we do. The elders build the house, the activity leads (warlords) throw parties, and the rest of the family fills the house with life and laughter. All 3 roles play their part and we need all 3 for the family to succeed.
Personally Friday and Saturdays are the ONLY days in the whole week i have the opportunity to see my wife. I can't spend those in game. Play how you want, when you want, as long as you want. That goes for elders too.
