DarSolo posted: I have always seen FanForce as a place for anyone who has any interest in Star Wars whether it is costuming, gaming, collecting, reading the books or just talking about the movies or the newest Clone Wars cartoon. Sure, it's a great place to start your first costume; tweaking it until it is up to standards for application to one of the professional costuming groups, but it shouldn't be a necessity. There are always spots for table help, photographers or handlers for the costumed members at events for those in club t-shirts; granted those numbers are usually limited. Plus, I think Wesley is enough a reason to continue the Rebellion. We should have more social activities like watching the films or cartoons to include him especially since we have been neglecting him lately.

Considering we haven't done a single bit of recruitment aside from one person trying to convince the SW Mini players to consider signing up (oh yeah..that was me), and we haven't had any new membership with the introduction of the CW mini-series, I don't see the first argument.
RogueSquadronWingnut posted:If this is an argument about Steve and his placement in the 'world' if the Rebellion were to close, something tells me he'd be just find as a helping non-RL Jedi or handler at other events. I took this group over under the large opinion that we needed a break from costuming as a focus here and to try and create some sort of social environment instead of the continuing politic degenerative finger-pointing we had been plagued with for the years earlier.
RogueSquadronWingnut posted:Nicky didnt want to do the job anymore because of all the negativity around the board and while I wanted to jump into something and figure it out, I was unfortunately side tracked. Being away from all of this for the last few months and then taking several hard long looks when I came back, I questioned the need for the group. Its not growing, its not going anywhere or doing anything. I understand the need to include Wesley in several aspects but I dont know why we need to make it an official club event to hang out with him. I dont understand why we cant, as people instead of making an official titled group event, simply pick a time when we're going to hang out with Wes. I could be wrong or I could be just looking at this with a different set of eyes. I'm not dodging the responsibilities of being in charge but I'm failing to see how any of this can be improved. Hence why I created a feedback thread.
DarSolo posted:As I've said many times: A club like the Rebellion is needed because not everyone has the desire, interest, talent, finances, etc. to costume to the professional levels that the international groups like Rebel Legion and the 501st. requires for membership.

celine posted:hey guys. sorry to pop in here, but i was bored and reading this at some ungodly hour...and now i'm in suspense. Did you guys end up closing down the Rebellion chapter? Was there enough interest to keep it going? I hope so. hope everyone is enjoying the summer! On a totally pointless, random side note, I just got a new minis set with a really awesome jedi master in it. He's scary. I destroyed my husband's army with it. muhahhahahhha!!
