At noon, Lin Ling, who was immersed in writing, suddenly received a phone call.

The call came from Linda Li, who received an invitation from a magazine to write an introductory essay about the differences between warbands and guilds to be published in the next issue of Weekly News.

"Weekly News" is the largest circulation comprehensive magazine in Tianwen City, and is loved by readers from all walks of life.

Li Linda naturally couldn't understand the differences between the warband and the guild, she didn't know about it, but she believed that Lin Ling, who was preparing for the preparation of the warband, must understand the difference.

"There is no essential difference between the two, it is nothing more than one person leading a group of people by leading a few people." Lin Ling said simply, "You can think of it this way, Eternity is a big school, the guild is just a certain class in a certain grade of the school, and the war group is an interest group, spanning all classes. The president is the class teacher, and the head of the war group is the tutor of the interest group. ”

"Isn't it possible for a warband to recruit members from both guilds and even non-guilds?" Li Linda was a little vague about Lin Ling's concept. Classes and interest groups were too general, and she needed a more nuanced answer.

"Extracurricular interest groups are originally composed of students from different classes and even grades, and it is not uncommon for members of the community to participate. Then again, Linda, you haven't been part of the so-called English Corner speaking group, have you? It was not only ordinary students who went there, but also white-collar workers who stepped into the workplace, foreigners who wanted to learn Chinese, and retired teachers who volunteered to tutor students. ”

Lin Ling answered the question with a statement that was very consistent with his identity and age: "In "Eternity", that is ordinary guild members, no guild members, foreign guild members and retired professional players. Warbands are just a mixed and confusing group. They came together for one purpose, and if they didn't have a long-term goal, they would soon be disbanded. ”

"Then there is no essential difference between a guild and a warband?" Li Linda asked unwillingly.

"If you have to say it, the warband doesn't have the same benefits as the guild, and it won't provide newcomer equipment to new members. It's like joining extracurricular interest groups such as music and astronomy, it's common sense to bring your own equipment, you go to study, pay tuition and miscellaneous fees, you can get learning supplies, and sometimes you can eat a free lunch, isn't this equivalent to collecting membership fees and providing new equipment, recovery props and upgrade guidance to those registered members! ”

Lin Ling thought about it for a while, but decided to tell Li Linda the true use of the battle group, in a step-by-step way.

"How many people are using the Hammer of Doom's public channel at the same time?" He asked.

"Probably more than 70,000." Li Linda said a number that even she was shocked, more than seventy thousand, fortunately, their administrator has the privilege to view the textual chat history by profession and guild rank, and deal with their difficult problems, otherwise they will be noisy to death.

"If your professional team is understaffed when developing a 20-player dungeon and needs to draw guild elites, how long will it take to respond?" Lin Ling then asked.

"Individuals can be notified within 15 minutes." Li Linda said a little proudly. Great guilds like the Hammer of Doom have a complete reserve force system, and they can draw guild power to support the club's strength at the fastest rate among guilds of the same size.

"What if we don't have enough manpower to handle the strength of the dungeon?" Lin Ling asked a question that seemed impossible at the moment, but that happened repeatedly in 20, 25, or even 40-player expert-level difficulty dungeons.

"Will choose to wait, go to other dungeons to improve the character's equipment, these are in the guild's internal emergency plan, what do you want to ask? Zero? Li Linda asked puzzled.

"Don't worry, Linda. Listen patiently to my next question. "Lin Ling must admit that the Guild Emergency Plan of the Hammer of Doom is complete, but so what? They can't guarantee that the guild's reserves are on the same level as their professional team, or that members of the guild's elite group will be interested in dungeons.

The reason is very simple, there are more monks and less porridge.

The larger an organization is, the more management positions it needs, and the more bloated the system becomes.

"If, at this time, the people of the Iron Blood Battle Banner tell you that the Iron Blood Battle Banner is willing to send someone to place a copy with you to rush the progress, but you can't use the emblem of the Hammer of Doom, and they don't use the Iron Blood Battle Banner, do you think this kind of thing can happen?" Lin Ling asked the crucial question.

"Impossible." Li Linda vetoed Lin Ling's statement, even if there was a formal agreement as a guarantee for such a proposal, they would not agree, after all, the death in "Eternity" is an experienced punishment, once or twice is okay, after dying three times, even if there is a high-level resurrection divine rescue, it is likely to fall to the next level.

Cooperate with other guilds, who knows if they will take the opportunity to arrange a pit and weaken their own strength.

However, she immediately came to her senses: "But if there is a war group, you can transfer other people of the same level in the group, they all have the same interests." ”

Li Linda always remembered that Lin Ling characterized the relationship between the guild and the warband as a class and an interest group.

Lin Ling let out a hearty laugh like appreciation with deep satisfaction.

If you compare Eternity to a school, the professional guild is the upper grade, the ordinary guild is the lower grade, the warband is an interest group that spans all grades, and the guild and warband members are students.

So, when there is a shortage of people in the senior class to carry out activities, why can't the younger students be selected from the same interest group?

Why should younger students refuse an early experience? After all, the activities that are carried out first in the senior class will not be long before they are carried out in the lower class.

No one has set the warband to be horizontal.

As long as the tutor of their interest group, that is, the leader of the warband, pays attention, they can form a warband that spans all grades, even those who do not belong to the guild.

"Correct, I'd love to add 10 points to you." Lin Ling curled the corners of her mouth slightly, Li Linda already had a basic concept of the battle group, she might or may not write these concepts into articles and publish them, or maybe not. However, there is one thing he needs to make in particular:

"Linda, don't confuse my warband with a warband in the general sense, my warband is actually just a mutant guild, you see, Strawberrynose, Knocking Mouse and those people obviously can't break away from the Berserker Alliance, but they have no status in the original organization, they don't have support, and they also don't have the courage to go it alone, so I put these people on the edge of the professional circle together and maintain their competitive level."

He paused, and then said: "And in the general sense, most of the war groups come together because of interest, just like the captain of your professional team, Zhang Yu, likes to raid dungeons, and the leader Yan Luo Shark likes to hunt wild bosses, but you only have a professional team, but you suffer from the rules and regulations of the guild are always understaffed, and it is impossible to form a new one." The warband function can really divide them into two teams according to their hobbies, one team specializes in strategy dungeons, and the other team specializes in wild boss hunting, and the insufficient number can be recruited without worrying about the rules and regulations of the guild, because that is the warband. ”

Lin Ling didn't say a word, that would also save a lot of labor costs, and it was much easier to directly pull qualified people into the battle group than into the guild. On the other hand, your own guild should also be psychologically prepared to make wedding dresses for others.

"Isn't that the ability to form a team in a guild?" Linda Li's question is back to the original point of the topic.

"Does the guild's team abide by the guild's rules and regulations or the team's rules and regulations? What part of the rules are used when there is a conflict between the guild leader and the guild manager? Lin Ling smiled coldly, to put it bluntly, all problems are still system problems after all, the essence of the war group is to formalize all kinds of relatives and friends groups, guild groups and wild groups, and suppress the contradictions within the team, unlike those previous games, which spread the contradictions to the entire guild at every turn.

Of course, this is only scratching the surface.

Any far-sighted guild manager is well aware that warbands will increase the factions within the guild, increase internal resistance during the reform period, and even lead to a series of problems such as internal and external collusion.

Similarly, due to the existence of warbands, the guild will not be untargeted when dealing with certain issues.

Internal and external collusion? Once the entire warband is all expelled from the guild, it is enough to declare war on the other guild.

All in all, Warbands are a new type of organization that has both advantages and disadvantages.

Li Linda looked at the time, the lunch break was almost over, and she had to write out the manuscript and hand it to the magazine before getting off work, so she hurriedly asked, "Zero, I still want to ask one last question." ”

"Say it." Lin Ling glanced at the time, it was almost time to eat the second nutritious meal, should you also sprinkle the package of medicinal powder that said on the instructions that could improve concentration?

"When the understaffing situation you assume happens, what do the warbands do to make sure they can solve the problem fairly and fairly?" Li Linda knows very well that no matter how perfect the agreement is, there may be loopholes, some of which look inconspicuous, but often when pursuing responsibility, it will be found that there is no clear liability clause in the agreement. For the sake of Lin Ling's entrustment to her, she successively asked three friends from the past to review the draft agreement to see if there were any flaws.

"There are no guarantees." Lin Ling said lightly, "The members of the group are not blind, if they know that there are all kinds of doubts about a group leader, and they still ask him to help the progress of the guild's dungeon, even if they are cheated, they must first self-examine and assume the responsibility of knowing unknown people, and then they will be held accountable." It's a clear division of responsibilities, isn't it? ”

"Responsibility."

Linda instantly thought of what title to give to that article: responsibility.

A word that is often used in the mouth, and few people are willing to take it.
