  • The Great Council

    As Comrade Tassadar has pointed out, activity in this ACDG is somehow disappointing. He does have a certain point, in sense that people tend to drift away. It seems that people comment less and less, while, we as a faction currently having the most opportunitues for fun. I understand most of us have other obligations, but almost three days without anything happening is a sign of possible trouble. We should seek ways to continue and possibly increase participation levels. Some players have drifted away, like Net Warrior or Hydro, and some are less and less active. I am open to any suggestions how to improve this condition. IC stories? Rank system? Internal minigames? Your opinion is wanted. Maybe an internal PBEM? Your opinion is wanted.

    I agree. Three weekdays without anything happening is disturbing. And I know that I do very little... One, I'm incompetent. Two, the rest of the faction is much better and smarter than me. Keeping my hands out helps everyone...

      I've got only one answer:

      One head, one idea
      Two head, two ideas

        Well, no suggestions then? We must preserve the faction and the ACDG.

          How about this:

          We award Coat-of-Arms to participants in the team: I have couple of suggestions for test coat of arms: (I know it is way off roleplay, but we need something to make game more interesting).

                Final test sample:
                You can 'take' this if you want, or try to order one from me. If it helps you to be active, be my guest. I'll do my best.

                        Yes. Speaking of which, do you have any ideas how to increase activity?

                          Well, I think a bit more organisation should be good..
                          For example - I find turn threads quite unhandy - I must read them through to know the current status, so there should be one who monitors the status in the 1st post of the thread in some kind of a table:

                          Code:
                          object	|issue		|solution	|pros		|cons
                          
                          MW in N	|where to move?	|Move N, NE	|Fungus		|No pods in that direction
                          SP!	|which to build	|HGP first	|Drone Control	|Morgan is suspicious
                          And someone must keep it updated all the time..

                          2nd idea - some groundbreaking stories with real ground

                          3rd idea reorganisation of our government so there are more positions and less duties for each, but possibility to take over the duties in the other's absence..

                            Well I proposed sth like first idea a while ago, but it didn't get ground. I support it. Second idea - Third idea -we could do that, if we had more active members.

                              *BUMP* Well, no response? I will put reform of order noting on polling now. No other comments? Perhaps Lauri could relaunch his IC story, and I can finally start some real work on Historia Gaianica - I have three chapters and we have four decades already.
