Hmm, going to make a thread for the asking of the three point ideas:


Interactive Server/Ongoing Server Events

Proposal for Train a Player/JMod Competitions

Community-run (but hopefully supported) Activity Achievement Sets.



All geared towards the highlighting of Activities, Improving of them, Increasing awareness, and Making them a more relevant and valued playstyle.


If the competition aspectc is to not have CM involvement (which would be bad, and remove many of the benifits), then there will need to be a thread for proposing, recruiting, and designing.. so that there's a full structure available to make which parts of it can run as community-run, run. Run.


It will also need a lot of recruitment for the Activity sets to work, as it involves a lot of work for those who are, after all, playing a game, and not doing a job. Hoping that now I've got back to having a little more time, I can get back to doing these things more actively.. though unfortunately, I have to be covering more in chat, due to us having lost a lot of helpers (problem is.. the longer these things are left undone, the more we lose compared to those coming in, and the more desperate the situation becomes.. requiring the things more, but also giving more excuse to pretend they aren't needed, as no one interested... I really dislike how the way people ignoring the situation, when it has a huge chunk of support, gradually get a stronger footing, merely by dint of them having ignored it causing there to be fewer and fewer supporters, due to atrophy and their prevention of new people getting to support it) - we need to get more helpers in, to allow free time to work on improving the situation..

Xiao has quit, recently, and was one of the big helpers.. the situation gets worse, as we have fewer helpers on (mostly due to some being away short/long term), and those left get more depressed about the situation, and despair to the point of giving up.. exacerbating the problem - the fewer helpers there

Are, the more it becomes a job, and a hard one, for those left.. it ceases to be fun for them, so can they be blamed for leaving?



I wish *'corzhai was here, still, as he seems to have been the only one capable of holding it all together at a viable, and self-sustaining level.. a sizable chunk quit when he went, and that left the population of helpers at an unviable level. I can't get folks to come in to help, from any group.. and can't get those from the open groups to help.. so it seems pretty hopeless, if we leave it as it is.. at least he could 'make' clanfolks help out (after all, that's why I and a couple of others are here (life commitments allowing), and what's kept a couple of others in back-seat roles), I have no chance there, and being middleman is just no fun, at all. He was also a great deal better at getting much parallel done in short time, and Idk how he ever managed to do so much.




Sorry for the rant, but we really need to act, and act now, if we're ever going to see anything that actually helps the content get done. It needs a concerted effort from those of us left (and free), and we need to stop waiting for those busy to be free.. as we're losing those free, faster than those busy come back. Not sure if we'll manage that without regular Gop fixes, for addiction, but need to use more time on it.


Very tired atm, so this is probably very badly cohesed. -rambles ineffectual-

Just a call for help, and definites given on what each can do in particular, rather than just general offers. Putting the guide projects on long-term hold, till the rest of this is sorted.


Take care, all, and I'll begin planning for the three point thread layout. Perusing someone else can at least post one of the sections for it, so that maintenance for that is taken off my hands, and a joint front will also highlight solidarity + community action.

P.S: also found out (via the for some reason, visible, VIP forum's Q&A), that it seems like the DG activity I made a thread for, last Year, was looked into, lol (think from wording, it must have been mine, as I looked carefully for others similar, before posting, and found none); which is funny, cuts it seemed unpopular, going by the other players' feedback... shame they didn't consider the Gop token system one, which had far more supportive feedback, was actually a useful and needed fix, and would have taken minutes to implement...


In bad mood, so posting rantily. Sorry. :p
(This medication is very irksome, getting so tired and bad tempered, yet can't sleep properly - which is a problem, considering I'm already having 6/48 hrs assigned to sleeping, and not getting it is not exactly optimal).



Oh, and no joy l, so far, on finding that programme.. the online stuff doesn't seem to cover that far back.. Will keep looking, when free time (though should be spending it on threadstuff), and hopefuly it'll turn up, or someone will have the info. :)

Unfortunately, the past Timo decided to embroil me into lots of offline committments that have to do with other living substances (collections of tiny things), not expected the current Timo to have a lowered threshold for going almond, pistachio and walnut when filled up with human dealings. Hrmpfh. I'll have to see how I can cut off some of those committments in order to maintain sanity (relative term).

Unless I die or become a shelled fruit, I'll try to help out with the Give-Orb-to-MOD programme. One condition we should ensure: The mod isn't served with lots of other unitary biological substances trailing its tail. Can't orb when lots of other humans are in the way. So should make clear in the beginning that the training sessions don't consist of lots of folks joining random teams and hotchpotching spamclickery unto all the precious spherical runic energies.

I don't know if the charity-event is an optimal idea. Takes resources, questionable prospects for participation (when folks are confused about something, they don't want to participate, no matter the potential rewards) [ambiguity aversion?].
Reason, compassion and GOP.

I'm at work, atm (in semi-break period, so accessing forums via mobile device), so can't help out, personally..

Have you checked in Death Erebus FC? There should be folks willing to help, there, or at least ones who can contact those who're willing to help.


I wish you luck, and hope you have a good time completing the task! :)



(I'll be on in about 32 hrs, so if the worst comes to persist, then you can always get it done, then, if you're on :) ).
