State of the Guild for January 2020
As per 6-SC-4 I am required by rules to post the status of command affairs.
It has been over a month and a half since I took the leadership of Pegasus Command in military capacity. Over the course of that time I think I've accomplished what was needed to instill order and peace in Pegasus Command.
Plan Progress:
Recruitment I've found as the least controllable aspect and one I think I have failed at. Anyone who has done any knows that it isn't easy to do. The guild has been stagnating and the attrition rate is picking up. Defined recruitment strategy is required for future outlooks.
The game replacement procedure has been slow at best. After many setbacks, deliberations and distractions I had chosen to create an Exploratory group to act as a measure of at least progressing somewhat, this group needs to focus on 1 game members of it can agree on. Overall expansion has been hampered by dealing with day2day issues but many recommended expansion games were recommended.
General orders:
-
The position made with GO-02-19 has been met with mixed results as the position while good in theory didn't see much use in practice. For the future most likely course of action is leaving it empty pending proper reform of the position and more defined role.
-
Overall I have suspended 3 members, two of which were appealed to the Quorum and amended.
-
With GO-05-19 the term of protected OP's was introduced and I think it will be of great use to avoid unnecessary overlaps. It also could be expanded to encompass all OP's at some point.
-
GO-06-19 saw the biggest backlash by far, and was the most controversial but was necessary to protect Pegasus Command values this guild has stood by for over 8 years. Looking back it was the best decision, I personally do not like the way we did it but there is no other option when a direct attack on the Pegasus Command is made. It was a defensive mechanism and as such was needed to ensure that no entity would perform this type of attack again.
-
GO-08-19 was made to update and modernize the rules of League of Legends. Even though these things are for the most part defined by other rules, it still carries a lot of weight and any amendments must be done carefully.
-
GO-10-19 defined AAR as an essential part of internal workings of Pegasus Command, it provides needed information for OP commanders and team leaders.
-
GO-12-19 reformed Silver Hawks inside Star Conflict. I fully expect this group to grow and expand under the purpose of developing strategies and know-how in Star Conflict.
-
GO-13-19 defined how to deal with commitment of members and ensure proper process of handling specific situations, expecting this GO to be expanded on the basis of need.
-
GO-14-19 explained additionally what to do with the non-official groups that have recently become a thorn in the side of game commanders trying to execute their plans.
Game Affairs:
STO - currently the oldest game didn't have many activities during my term, RCreamy was appointed to the GC position. Trek Tuesdays were once again introduced and it can be noted that a fall in attendance was seen but different people were seen attending these as opposed to the friday slot.
SWTOR - this game has seen a slow but continued growth in numbers, conquests may require more people to be accomplished easier. Overall great work from the command staff of the game.
NW - This game above all others requires a long term Game Commander to resolve most of the issues this game has been dealing with, the recruitment is down, many members no longer attend OP's regularly.
LoL - The stabilization following the leaving of over 10 members has been successful for the most part, competitive teams have been reinstated, although they do need further enticement to ensure they actually do their assigned duties, some non-attendance issues have occured but should not be a problem. Command staff has been reduced to 1 so expansion of such may be needed in the future.
SC - Star Conflict has had it's operational routine completely changed, a proper plan was put in place and accomplishments are lining up, both Tertullian and Just1 were ready to step up to help the Game Commander in accomplishing the needed tasks and such effort is recognized. Focus will now be placed on extending the activities with the endgoall being 24h play and constant presence, recruitment will be also be extensive to accomplish this.
WoWs - A game which is rarely brought up, some may consider it a sleeping giant considering the population and popularity of the game. It requires recruitment more than anything else, we have the officers and the know-how.
ESO - Currently under Office of the President due to circumstances out of my control, all details regarding the operation of this guild are part of the president's report.
