I have spoke with Maki and it will be difficult for her to have a set time and day when meetings would be held as her schedule changes week by week.

Therefor the time and day of club meetings will need to be organized on a weekly basis. Prospective club members will need to check club announcements to see when the meeting will be on a given week.

Maki will make an effort to hold her meeting at a time when you have stated you are available. Please state your timezone and general availability below when signing up to this club.

TLDR - New Members Read the Bold Bits!

I am interested. I am on Japan Standard Time (UTC+9:00). In general, I am available from around 6:30 am in SLT to about 10:00 am SLT on weekdays, except for what in SLT is Friday. On weekends, I am available after the dance club rehearsal probably. Before in theory might be possible. What in SLT is Sunday is a much more variable day and I shall likely often be unavailable.

Time is running out to sign up to this club.

Currently there are an insufficient number of students who have registered their interest. For a club proposal to be approved at Kokoro it must start with a minimum of four club members excluding the organizer. Currently only two students have registered their interest.

For this club to go ahead, two more students must sign up. Tomorrow (the 22nd) is the last day.

Given that actual RP has not begun and school clubs are the only active avenues of participation in official Kokoro Academy activities, and are more likely to increase enthusiasm to be on sim, does it not seem a bit overkill to RP a school deadline like a time limit? It feels like a rule that exists for the sake of having a rule at this stage. Having a minimum number of members makes sense, but a time limit on gathering them I cannot help but find the reasoning elusive for. OR does it just automatically get restarted? when can proposals for clubs be submitted again? Given the lockdown, would it not be more fair to grant an extension at the very least? If we are RPing some school rules, then wouldn't a student counsel meet to give a verdict on the issue? How does one get on the student counsel and who are the official members... I just cannot help but feel like this time limit is arbitrary. If this is not a rule for the purposes of trying to RP school rules, then I really have no idea why it exists. If this proposed club is not going to go through, I think any student wishing to form a club in the future would like to understand what is needed in order to prepare better at the very least.

I decided to implement a deadline for recruitment for numerous reasons:-

  • They create urgency. With a set time limit, you can't continuously put off getting your club members.
  • Demonstration of leadership. It demonstrates to me whether or not the club organiser will indeed be capable of recruiting and managing members in their club, getting them to do what they need to do and be able to carry out tasks in a reasonable time frame.
  • Maintenance of standards. A student should expect to find that any official club at Kokoro has a reasonable level of activity and an organiser who is actively involved in organising their club. It also ensures that all members of the club are registered and able to be reached through the school's forum system.

As the sim being students only does not affect students access to Kokoro, I do not feel this is the case. I feel two weeks is a reasonable amount of time for the organiser to ask around and get people to sign up to their club. If an organiser really could not find four other people among the 40 other active students after reaching out to them all I have to ask myself if there was really an interest in the club to begin with too.

I am aware that Nise intends to sign up but has had technical difficulties, I will grant 3 days for her only whilst this is sorted out, but the club still needs to find one more member today. I'm not going to grant further extension than this, as Maki was well informed of the requirements both from the thread she got her application from and me after she proposed her club.

We do not currently have a student council, we did consider something like this in the past but that is a topic for another thread.

The thread that Maki took her application form from states the time limit and the minimum number of members. I also reminded her immediately after I approved the club of what she had to do next, and how long she had to do it, to which whilst she disagreed with, she had most definitely read. I reminded Maki again after a week had passed. I feel that Maki was adequately informed in this case.

when can proposals for clubs be submitted again?

Fair question. I think 30 days after a rejection is a reasonable amount of time before allowing another proposal from the same student. I want to make sure that when club applications are submitted the organiser is not just trying over and over again but submitting because they intend to succeed.

---

Of course, there is nothing to stop Maki doing Photography with you and Nezu in the mean time or finding other people who like photography too. I just want to make sure that any student club acting in an official capacity at Kokoro maintains a reasonable level of standards and activity.

nise would like to be part of this club 😮
nise is in NZT soon to be NZDT as of the 26th, am free most of the time except usually between 3 pm - 5 pm on teusday thrusday and friday (NZT) soon to change think laylight savings starting in the southern hemisphere brings nise like 2 hours closer to everyone in the northern hemisphere, nise is not part of any other clubs yet and only works 16 hours or so a week on weekends, saturday is probably a bad day for nise to do anything, because its sunday in (nzt) and she works 8 hours that day
