Meeting Notes 5/5/19
Generals
Pending Help Desk Requests
If you or your Generals help desk request is marked as pending, please complete corrections as soon as possible and message who picked up the request to get it resolved. Pending requests only remain pending for 7 days, then they will be denied.
Sunday Meetings
Generals, if your Section Leader is not online for General's Meeting, it is your responsibility to make it into a meeting with another XS. Please start messaging other Section Leaders 10-15 minutes before 9pm EST in order to make sure you get into a meeting. If you need help, please contact any online XD for assistance.
Availability to Your Members
Section Leaders and Generals, please do not continually stay in a locked party unless you are dealing with an issue or talking about sensitive information. That way, your members are able to join your party to game with you or just chat even if they aren't playing the same game as you.
Signatures/Banners:
When getting signatures and banners done by the Design Team, please make sure that you a copying and pasting the link given to you by the designer themselves into the help desk. This keeps the quality of the Design intact, along with the measurements and file sizes appropriate. Not to mention, designers put a lot of time and effort into their work, seeing it distorted takes away from that. If you have questions, feel free to hit up anyone on the Design Team.
Gaining Knowledge
The XG bible is for anyone seeking knowledge regarding rules or ideas in the community. If you have a question, check the bible to see if it's already been answered. Furthermore if you have ideas or have questions regarding things in the community don't be afraid to ask. Remember there are no stupid questions so ask away.
Clan Members
Your clan members should be people who believe in the same honor code and are people you enjoy gaming with. That being said, someone who enjoys trash talking will probably fit in better in SYN, as opposed to KoG or XGC, and someone who wants to game with 18+ would fit in better to XGC, and so on and so forth. Make sure you get to know your recruits so they are in a place that is appropriate for them and they are happy with their squad and clan, and if they aren't that's what the transfer process is for.
Password Reset
Please remember to change your password every 90 days, currently the website is not telling you that a password change is required and you may get an error when trying to log in, if you have any issues please use your chain of command if you need assistance or any admin for a password reset.
No meetings next Sunday 5/12 due to Mother's Day.

Meeting Notes 5/19/19
Open Door Policy
Please remember that you should always utilize your chain of command first, but if you have concerns that you feel aren't being addressed, use the open door policy and hit up the next rank. We can't read minds, so we can't solve any issues if we aren't aware of them.
Add/Remove Requests
When doing add and remove requests, please make sure to be specific about the reason. This is to assist the Grass Wasn't Greener team in researching applications in the future, also please make sure for transfer that they are removed from their original clan prior to being added to their new clan.
Leadership Classes
Remember, only sign-up if you are able to make it! If you have signed up, and are unable to make it last minute, please send a message so the spot can be filled in a timely manner. Please communicate to the teacher so they aren't looking for you and delaying the class hoping you'll show up.

Meeting Notes 6/2/19
Generals
Transfers:
Generals, when you get a transfer request, there is a timeline for when it should be done. (48 - 72 hours). Make sure you inform your section leader if it's a cross section transfer so it can get done quickly and efficiently. Also remember, when that person is transferring out of your clan to put a removal request in.
Clan Battles:
All Generals of clans are encouraged to schedule time to game with other clans within the community. Having clan battles provides several benefits to the clan members: 1) they give the clan activities and goals to look forward to, 2) they build teamwork in preparing for the event, 3) it introduces the members to other "like-minded" gamers in the community to mention a few. However, for the events to be successful, there must be some guidelines to ensure a successful event and this begins in the initial conversation between the Generals.
The conversation about what's going to go on regarding a clan battle, what the rules are, what the maps and modes are,etc...need to be discussed between the Generals. Not a General and Section Leader, or the Section Leaders. General to General. If something can't be agreed upon then Section Leaders should be involved to resolve the issue as quickly and smoothly as possible.
Furthermore, if a Section Leader contacts a General for a clan battle or vice versa, then the Section Leader should direct the challenged General to their respective General.
Finally, remembering the purpose of the event is to provide the members opportunities to have fun, make sure that good sportsmanship and fair play are paramount before, during, and after the event.

Honor, Courage & Commitment
Generals
General's Classes
Please remember that in order to sign up for an Advanced General's Class, you must have taken, completed and passed the Intro to General's Class first. Do not sign up for an Advanced class if you haven't completed and passed the Intro class.
Discord / Social Media
Clan groups on other external communication platforms such as Facebook, Kik, Line, Voxer, etc., are not allowed. They are to be deleted. We now have Discord servers for KoG, SYN and XGC that have channels for each clan to use for communication purposes. The purpose for having these servers is not for XD-XC-XI to micromanage or police your chats, it is to provide a benefit to all members in a central location.
Knights & Dragons Mobile Game
There is a mobile game that a guild for the Community has been created on called Knights and Dragons. The games servers are not compatible with each other however so, IOS cannot play with Android devices and vice versa. The guild for the Community is on Android and you must download the game on an Android device to join the guild but it is open to anyone in the community if you have an Android device. Please feel free to download the game, check it out and if you like it hit up XGC BRAIN XS to join the Xiled Gaming guild on it as well as if anyone has any questions about the game.
King of the Kill Challenge
We see a lot of you messaging for clan battles, which is great. We still have the King of the Kill challenge. Right now, the King of the Kill champions, are SYN Greed 7. https://www.xiledgaming.com/forum/xi...ng-of-the-hill < here is where you can find the leaderboards, and the challenge thread. Yes, it's competitive. But it is a chance for you and your members to grow better communication bonds as well as grow better player morale within your clan.
X-Team Challenges
The XTEAM also accepts challenges. If you think you have what it takes to defeat us. Bring it. Please remember when in an Xteam battle, all honor codes apply! With this link you can Challenge us. https://www.xiledgaming.com/forum/xi...m/challenge-us
** Remember while making a challenge for both King of the Kill and a challenge against the Xteam, It should be one week in advance!
XG Communication
Any communication sent by any means other than Xbox Live, the Xbox App, the Xiled Gaming Club, the Xiled Gaming Website, or the Xiled Gaming Discord Server is not considered XG communication. This includes, but is not limited to Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, KiK, email, text, calls, mail, telepathy, Morse Code, and smoke signals.
Xiled Gaming does not recommend communicating on these external channels because we do not police mobile apps. If you choose to use Non-XG Communication and receive messages that you don't like, that's on you. Any issue that arises in the community from Non-XG communication will be addressed accordingly. However, the Non-XG communication will not be a factor in the corrective action.
Additionally, the Xiled Gaming Discord Server is mandatory for all XS-XD-XC-XI. In the event someone doesn’t have, want or chooses to leave the server, they are giving up their XS-XD-XC-XI position in the community. There is no acceptable reason to not be in our discord server. Prior to promotion, they must be asked if they accept. If not, they are not promoted.
No meetings next Sunday, June 16th due to Father's Day.

Meeting Notes 6/23/19
Setting Goals & Achieving Them
Generals
Discord Servers
As a reminder, there are now servers for each division (KoG, SYN & XGC) that you are encouraged to join, with separate channels for each individual clan, including an announcements and leadership only channel. If you need assistance assigning roles to your members or have any questions about how to use the server, please hit up your XS or any XD for assistance.
Additionally, any clan servers or section servers that are still in existence need to be deleted ASAP. There is no requirement to join the division discord servers, except for XS and higher. If this isn't clear and you have questions please ask before sharing information that you aren't 100% confident about, as this just causes more issues if we're not all on the same page as each other.
Conan Exiles
XGC Goodwin has a private server available for Conan Exiles, if interested hit him up on Xbox.
Chain of Command
Please ensure that you are using your chain of command to handle issues, ask questions, or share ideas with. If there's something that is really pressing and your leadership isn't online, that is a great time to use the open door policy, but for anything other than emergencies please be patient and get with your leadership when they are available.
Defining Expectations & Goals
When we as leaders are looking to accomplish goals, one of the greatest ways we can successfully achieve this is by being direct and communicating the outcome you want to see. This gives your leadership the opportunity to understand what you expect and how to succeed at it. Growth as a leader is a learning process, so if they need help then we guide them. If they fail to achieve the goal that is set forth, then this is the best opportunity to address how to find a solution and try a different way to accomplish the goal the next time around.
X-Team Challenges
The X-Team is seeking out challenges on multiplayer games, and will be challenging people across the community so keep your eyes out because you could be next!
As always, the X-Team is accepting challenges from clans on any multiplayer games, so if you think your clan has what it takes submit your challenge here: https://www.xiledgaming.com/forum/xi...m/challenge-us

Meeting Notes 6/30/19
FUN IN THE SUN
**Please celebrate 4th of July safely and don't blow off your fingers or thumbs, you'll need those for gaming later**
Generals
Summer Activity / Vacations
As we get into summer, please realize that this is usually a time where people take vacations, spend more time outside and with that, less time on the Xbox. With that in mind, remember that communication is the key to success and that if you are going to be out of town for vacation to let your leadership know.
Additionally, if you are considering removing members for inactivity, please keep this in mind. If someone is off the Xbox for a week, that is definitely not grounds to remove them for inactivity, but keep on top of all members during this slow time.
Clan & Squad Lists
Reminder that clan and squad lists are due by 11:59pm EST tonight. If you are unable to post your list on time, your XS will be posting it for you and following up with you as to why it wasn't done. If a Captain isn't able to post their squad list, you as General should be posting it for them and following up with them as to why it wasn't done on time. Make sure it is a brand new reply, not just editing the existing list, as editing should be happening throughout the month as changes happen in the squad and clan.
X-Team Challenges
The X-Team is looking for challenges from clans as always, but are also issuing challenges to individuals as well! Think you have what it takes to challenge the X-Team? Post your challenge here:
https://www.xiledgaming.com/forum/xi...m/challenge-us

Meeting Notes 7/7/19
Work Smarter, Not Harder
Generals
Time Management
As a leader in the community, you have a lot of things going on a lot of the time. However, you need to make sure you take time to just have fun and game, since that's what we're all here for at the end of the day. If you aren't having fun, and are constantly just getting online and handling issues nonstop, it's easy to lose sight of the big picture which is to make Xiled Gaming a fun place to game for all members.
If you're only able to get online a couple times a week, make it a priority to handle anything that needs your specific attention, while training the leaders below you so they're able to handle anything but the major stuff that needs to go to you. Then the rest of your time can be spent gaming and enjoying your time on the box.
Help Desk
When making posts on the Help Desk, please make sure you are using the format provided and being detailed when a reason is needed. Additionally, if someone is requesting a login name change request that does NOT have KoG, SYN or XGC in front of it, there is no XS approval needed. When recruits register on the website, make sure you are telling them how important it is to register with their gamertag exactly as it's spelled (special characters and spaces included), as this is the most common reason an add request is typically denied.
Regarding transfers and ADD/Removes on the help desk..these should be done hand in hand by both Section Leaders/Generals at the time of transfer. This is important so user groups stay up to date and accurate. We don't want to add a member to another user group while still remaining in the old one.
Regarding name changes, these need to be approved by the Section Leader in their leader's forum if it has a XGC, SYN or KoG prefix. Names need to be researched before approving them. If you're not sure if the name is "ok", please hit up a XD to verify it is acceptable.
Design Team:
Like designing? Like making banners and exploring your creativity? Why not try out the XG Design Team?! We are always looking for people who want to do fun and creative designs for the community and its members! Interested in joining, sign up here: https://www.xiledgaming.com/forum/xi...m-applications
Open Door Policy
The open door policy is available to every member in Xiled Gaming, however, please be aware that you should be going to your direct chain of command first. If you feel that your issue isn't being resolved or handled, take it to the next rank, and so on and so forth. That being said, realize that not all issues need to be handled immediately, and that everyone has a life outside of their Xbox so it may take a day or two for a reply back, which is fine for most questions or concerns. If there is a legitimate emergency happening within your clan, definitely hit up a higher up if your XS isn't available.
Leadership Tools
Have you checked out the Leadership Tools forum? It's a great place to read about how to be a successful leader in Xiled Gaming, with many threads covering a great many topics that you might have handled before, or haven't ever had to think about. It's highly encouraged to check out these threads when you have some spare time, and hit up your leadership with any questions you have while reading them.

Generals:
Clan/Squad Lists:
Reminder, clan and squad lists are due by 11:59 PM Est. Please be following up and ensuring these are posted and the member's GTs are spelled properly. This is important to keep a tidy clan list and user group, also if a member leaves, removed or joins we can get them on/off your user group without any issues.
User Groups:
Your user group should be a direct mirror of your clan list. If you do require a recent/updated user group please message a Division Leader and we can get it to you. Also, you should not be adding people to your user group until they reach the rank of Private and definitely shouldn't be promoting people to higher ranks without them being in the user group to begin with.
Transfers:
Regarding incoming/outgoing transfers, BOTH members should be off the original user group before being added to the new one. If a member is still on a user group they will not be added to the new user group and the request will be DENIED on the help desk. This requires mutual communication between both generals.
Game Nights:
Remember that you and your leadership should be doing regularly scheduled game nights with your clan and/or squads, to give everyone an opportunity to get to know each other and build relationships between leadership and every member in the clan. Game nights are also the best time to introduce new recruits to the clan members and reinforce why they joined, which is to have people to game with that they like hanging out with.
It doesn't even have to be on a game, there are clans who do Karaoke nights and even Movie nights, so if you want to switch it up and have some more creative activities going on go for it!
