Office of the President ESO Plan
With the new year upcoming I wanted to share with the membership of ESO what the plan for the long term is of our guild community here. ESO due to lack of a Game Commander (GC) was placed under the control of the Office of the President for the purpose of reestablishing the community and to roll it back into normal order. This was done by our Quorum (Q) to avoid the automatic publish for a GC which could have lead to shutting down the guild. Pegasus Command made a commitment to this game and community, we are fulfilling it.
I have asked for an extension of ESO Command due to the further need of leadership in the guild. This has been granted by our Q and will extend to 15 APR 20. On 15 APR 20, I will return ESO back to regular order under the Command of the then Supreme Commander. While NexXxus has agreed to take the ESO Game Commander slot and will be the person then directly in charge of Peg Com ESO. ESO will then operate like all other Peg Com Guilds, and I can go back to sucking at games lol.
Over the next few months these are the goals we will be working on to obtain:
1. Operational Tempo: What this means is we will work on establishing a normal flow for our guild. In our games we look to have events and OPs scheduled in predictable ways to allow members to know when such things will occur and plan to take part, if they wish. This Tempo will be in how Ops are structured, and goals of them as well. Here is what we want and need from members:
a. If you can be try to be in discord when you are playing the game, this is a request not a command or requirement. The reason for this is daily tempo, in that if we are recruiting we have people available to talk to new members. Also it will get us all in the habit of being available for one another when we can be. The goal here is to establish a daily tempo of group play. It should be member focused and as always the main point is to have a good time. I have yet see a game that is not more fun with others.
b. I will be working on getting more creative with ESO Ops, by this I will be building a playbook for Ops we can do. The focus will be on fun, novelty, and getting crap people need to do what they want in game. This will take time, and as always feedback and your suggestions will help speed up this process. Never be worried at telling us "hey that was kinda not fun" lol.
c. Make sure you attend at least 1 OP each month, or just let me know you can't as always RL comes first.
2. Command Structure: We have the next GC set up and he will be ready to go 15 APR. That said, I will be looking for three more individuals to fill the following slots:
a. Game Captain- This person will be second in command of the ESO guild and aid in the day to day function of the guild. The goal of this position is to allow focus on nuts and bolts of guild member needs and organization. They should help run and encourage daily ESO activity and be a guild promoter, in that when they can, look for new members. This should be someone that plays daily and this is their primary game. They do not have to know all about the game but be willing to learn and want to.
b. ESO New Member Contact: This person will focus on contact with new members, helping when they can introduce them to ESO and Peg Com. They need to be willing to play 3-4 times a week. A lot of this slot will be watching discord chat and responding.
c. ESO Trader and Banker: This person will be looking to make sure the guild bank and store make sense. Also when we get a trader will be responsible to help with pricing and organization of bids and getting goods to market. We will also look into marketing of our wares for sale by our members when we have a trader.
3. Giveaways: Weekly giveaways in ESO are not sustainable at this point, and will not be until we have a very strong production line of goods. This production line is a longer term goal than what can be accomplished by APR. As such over the next few months we will move to a monthly large giveaway. This will work on a point basis. Each time you attend an Op or other event you will get a number of points. At the end of the month most points wins the giveaway. Ties are broken with rolls, highest roll wins. I will post a schedule of Ops and Events and how many points each is worth, look for this later in the week.
4. Guild Trader: We will be working on this as well. The main two issues here are product and cost. Getting a trader requires large sums of gold, also we need items to sell that will make enough for the guild to make this sustainable. There is little point in doing this if it is not a rewarding venture. By rewarding I mean we have items to sale and can with in game earnings sustain it. As such we first need to build the guild gold coffer, I encourage members to donate what they can to this endeavor. That said, Peg Com has never charged members anything, and we never will have any dues ect. I will also be asking what items can we sell and how much of them we can have when we do. So look for me asking more about this soon, and if you have feedback or ideas please contact me. So step one in this process is build the guild gold bank, we need at least 15 million gold to even start thinking about getting this going.
If you are interested in one of these slots let me know. You do not need to know anything lol, yet. We will train you if willing. The goal will be to fill each slot before turn over.
These are the items we will be working on. I ask each of you to do what you can to help out in making this guild all it can be. ESO is a very fun game with a large player base, it can be a very important part of Pegasus Command. Each of you can have a part in making that so.
If you have any questions or concerns let me know. As always we are nothing without our members.
