I dunno if this is really relevant to anything, but I played Myspace Mobsters for a while.

 

In this online game they have crews you can join, anyway I joined a crew and worked my way up to the top with creativity and loyalty to the crew.

 

We had over 200 members, and communications were becoming more difficult.. we used chat, forums, messengers ect..

 

But It is possible to get people together and get things done, in the game world that means fighting other crews in an organized fashion.

 

The game has given me a lot of experience with getting things together, and coming up with ways of efficiently scheduling online meetings and various actions by certain members. I would put members in control of certain aspects of the game behind the scenes.

 

I know this is a little far fetched as it's just a game, but you do learn a lot about organization, ways of getting people to get things done, ideas, and methods of communication. I'm kinda hoping I can get the other crews (other forums, gun clubs, ranges, ect) together in a mass effort. This would prove really difficult though, and im hoping these meetings will help come up with means of getting something like this in order.

 

 

Anyone else have any experience from something similar?

Good luck with that, in the age of cellphones, texting, internet, social networking and up to the minute updates on whats going on, most people seem to wait to the last minute to commit to anything anymore. They keep holding off to see if something better pops up. Then they want to get in on the action last minute when nothing does.

 

I tried to organize a snowboard/ski trip and a team for a polar bear swim last year. Never again.

I use to run a street gang called The Tough Jeremy's. Just threaten everyone with death and they will do what you say.lol

 

I have to try that game. I always get invites to join but I never do, Ill have to give it a try.

yeah that's what im thinking, the only way to really get in touch with people on an instant is by texting/calling them.. anything over the internet will have to wait for them to login. But if you have 2000 - 4000 people logging in at different times, you can put something together to where it's constant. I was thinking maybe mass email with a prefix before the message so it sticks out in the email box... for example: *****((((PLEASE CONTACT YOUR LEGISLATURE REGARDING S.69 WHEN YOU GET ON))))***** . you would just have to use the same prefix so they know it's your email and so it sticks out from the junk mail.

 

I know with yahoo messenger you can mass message people, I dunno if you can fit 2000 people on your yahoo instant messenger though. Which would mean people would probably have to break people down into districts, and have district coordinators. District coordinators could then schedule times to call their legislatures, and back up their phone lines with calls about 1 bill.

Join the Army and get all that experience and more.

 

But more to the question - as much as I don't like the idea

of it Twitter seems be becoming exactly the tool of choice for that

now.

I haven't been that involved in twitter, hell I don't even know how it works.

I don't know that much about it eiher but many of the companies I work for use it to broadcast company info to themselves and customers. The charm is that it can send sms texts to cell phones. That gets around the "logging in" aspect.

That's a good idea, maybe we can have an official twitter thing, someone that is more familiar with it.

I'm a Mason and we use a Yahoo group to send messages to everyone. This way, when something needs to be posted, all the members get an email. When they reply, everyone can see the reply. We just use strict rules that everything is Masonic business and personal crap is via regular email.

That's another good idea, We should figure out the best method, and try it out. Are any of you going to be going to the july 12th meeting to discuss these options? or what the club should be about.
