Hey all-- Because we're always trying to give everyone the chance to participate in plots and help steer the direction of events as a whole we will be starting, from here on out, a rotation schedule for members of Plot committee. This process will operate on a Quarterly basis. As we're starting this right at the end of a quarter (The end of March is the end of the first quarter) We'll be instigating this now, though it will be acting until June-- the end of the second quarter. To those members who have participated on plot committee in the past: your input and help has been most appreciated through your time. By no means is this a slant towards what you have done, what you will do, and all the in between. Instead, we're wanting to give everyone a chance to get involved on the directive side of things. Still, there needs to be a level of constant to those on the plot committee, and so Joe (Wolfsbane, Box, and Sabertooth) and Ed (Jamie Madrox, Strong Guy, Blob, Rusty, and Mastermind) will act as constant members who will continue their work. Until this new rotation is settled, please refer to them for any questions. THINGS THAT PLOT COMMITTEE CAN ASSIST WITH: -direct members to plots their characters can participate in. -assist in finding threads, factions, etc. etc. for characters -Ensure that plots that have been approved are carried along in a timely manner and ensure they reach completion. Message them if you feel a plot needs some help getting some moving along. Approving plots will still fall to the respective faction leaders and staff, but these members have shown (and will show!) paramount dedication to helping new members, staff, and the site as a whole in ensuring that plots not only happen, but are completed on a regular basis. MEMBERS FOR MARCH-JUNE: To be announced! |

Ok! After discussion between the administrators-- We will be taking nominations for the next members of plot committee. It can't be members from this last group, and it should be people who've been active for the last month. Please send them over PM or through aim to me! Not eligible for nomination: Kel Flyboy Brett Dave Gavin Machka and not eligible because they're the plot committee leaders: Ed Joe |

This sounds like a splendid idea to me in order to revitalize our mod roster a little and get some new blood and fresh ideas. However (of course there's a however, I can't just leave things be. I'm a honey badger!), the only problem I see is the commencement and termination of the quarters. The second quarter ends in June, and the third quarter ends in July, right? That means we're going to have plot mods shuffled around right in the middle of summer, which is a peak period for member activity and plots all around the board, big and small. Just have a system ready in regards to how plots are handed over to new appointments or carried on by previous plot mods, because otherwise it could get crazy. |

I think people are getting their dates mixed up 1st quarter: Jan 1st - Mar 31st 2nd quarter: Apr 1st - June 30th 3rd quarter: July 1st - Sept 30th 4th quarter: Oct 1st - Dec 31st 3 months each. 1st quarter starts in the middle of winter break, giving time for leaving members to get incoming members situated. 2nd quarter is around spring break, see above 3rd quarter is around summer break, see above 4th quarter is hardest but it includes holidays, so anyone with set holiday plans (like me with HHN) would not be members that term I think this is the fairest schedule. |

Is the staff dead set on having it be in quarters? I'd be worried 3 months each isn't enough time for that quarters plots to go through development, get executed and wrapped up before the next batch came in and wanted to get their own stuff started. So perhaps 3, 4 month sessions, or 2, 6 month sessions might be better in terms of making sure enough time is given for each committee to get through what they intend to. |

We're never dead set on anything, lol. This change alone shows that, honestly. For now I think we will keep it at the quarters and expand it if needed-- as it's alot easier to add time to a deadline than it is to shorten it. Thisll be the first time we try something like this, so it's Definitly going to be alot of trial and error. As for at rotation times, Olga, I'm sure there will be a few weeks at the start/end that the old plot committee members will sill handle what they had started and anythin new strted will transfer to the new guys. It's really more a thing to help everyone make sure they get to be involved in things and far from a formal "for this plot, talk to x committee guy" that's far too much structure I think, and starts to fall into the faction leaders function. Plot committee gets No more say in what plots happen than other members- that's something that will still fall to faction leaders and involved parties. Their main purpose is to help facilitate what has been approved and make sure hints go on- something that we should all do technically, but sometimes it's been proven better to have someone to look to for questions, etc. All in all- it'll be a learning process, like everything else. If it works it works, if it doesn't.. Well, we at least tried! But I'm enjoying that we have real discussion going on this, and if what I'm saying doesn't make sense.. Let me know. <3 |
