The entire Guns community has been growing by leaps and bounds lately, so I went ahead and put together a quick listing of resources and connections that individuals and clans can take advantage of to actively grow and strengthen themselves.
Important Skype GroupsClan Leaders Discussion Group-This is a skype group made for the explicit purpose of giving clan leaders a direct connection to each other for the purposes of organization and scheduling, as well as communications. I would ask that individuals keep personal or intra-clan disputes or issues out of this, as it's gonna be important to keep things professional and reasonable. In addition, if an individual that joins this group steps down as a clan leader, they will be required to leave this chat to keep things as uncluttered as possible.
Official Casters and Youtubers Discussion Group-This is a skype group made for the explicit purpose of organizing and promotions between active casters and youtubers for the Guns of Icarus community. There won't be many restrictions on this group, and I'd like to actively encourage the sharing of streams, links, videos, and more through it. It's specifically for streamers, casters, and youtubers so if you don't fall into those categories we ask you not request access. In addition, if you retire from casting, streaming, or youtubing, we ask you leave this group to keep things as uncluttered as possible.
Official Competitive Organization Group-This is a skype group made for the explicit purpose of organizing any and all major competitive events for the GOIO community. It's for all participants in major events, from referees to organizers to administrators to casters. There are few restrictions on this group but I would ask you keep things professional.
To request access to any of these groups, email us at therobanddanshow@gmail.com with your skype name and the group(s) you'd like to be granted access to, as well as who you are and why, or if you already have me on skype just ask there.MLG Links and ResourcesThe Guns of Icarus Online MLG Forums-http://gamebattles.majorleaguegaming.com/forums/f/Guns-of-Icarus-3904These are the official MLG forums for Guns of Icarus Online.
