Officership Time Again.

[OnyxBlade]

It's been a while since we've talked about officers around the halls of the Pillagers, but now's as good a time as any.

Here's where I ask for volunteers for the position of Officer.

First question I hear is "What would I need to do as an officer?"

The answer... whatever it is that you want to take over responsibility of. For example, if you want to help out and look over ensuring that our crafters have access to the resources they need to become either more proficient in their various trades, that's great! If you want to track everyone's progression through the various levels of their classes and make sure they get the gear that will help them when the become of the level to use said gear, that's great to!

If you want to be responsible for setting up weekly/bi-weekly/monthly parties/events for roleplay or something...GREAT!

If you want to be responsible for getting folks togethter to try and find new recruits, that would be Wonderful!

One task that all officers are asked to do though it to keep everyone in line and being "nice" to one another. To foster the spirit of sharing, instead of the "hey! I need this! I want this! Me, Me, MEEEEE!" that you hear about in other kins.

Also, keep in mind, that if you want to do something, but don't WANT the title of "officer", that's fine too. Just let us know when you throw your name into this arena. It's perfectly acceptable.

Also, if you want to just let yourself be known as a willing "helper" to an officer, let us know that as well. Your willingness to help the "crafting officer" keep track of stock levels in our crafting houses, may be the last bit of push that someone needs in order to volunteer to be the "crafting officer".

So...anyone? Anyone at all?

I know I'm still very new here, but I'd like to say that I think the current officers are great! If they want to stay in that position I'd support it!

I don't really want any officer-ship position, but if any of you need my help with anything in particular as an assistant or whatever, I'd be glad to do so.

[Delaney]

I'd like to continue as the official burgl, ah, banker for the Kin. The Mines of Moria expansion has given us a great opportunity to grow and continue to evolve, and I'm excited about the future.

[OnyxBlade]

And Here's the ragtag bunch of miscreants and gentle-folk that you'd be pledging your hours to.... (actually, there's very little actual "work" involved in being an officer. Only what you want to devote to it)...

[katarnus]

Onyx, what are some of the officership positions that are open?


I don't really want to be an officer right now, but I'd be more than glad to keep spreadsheets of crafting inventory in storage or even filling work orders for supplies that crafters need. I wouldn't mind at all if someone gave me a list to go out and farm the needed materials.

(Three of my characters are currently explorers, with a possibility that my warden will be as well, I'm such a sucker for nodes.)

[Verewen of Rohan]

I'd like to be considered for a position. I took a little break from it for a while, but I think I'm ready to hop back in. Maybe Katarnus and I could work together as Crafting Coordinators?? Or perhaps combine the Crafting Coord. position with the Makeover Squad position.

[trelinth]

Do we have a listing of who does what for the kindship presently? Such as event coordinator, crafting director, supreme emperor of brewing, etc . That might give people an idea of some of the things people currently do, and help them thing of alternate areas they can contribute.

If this information is already posted, my apologies; I'm still learning the site!

[OnyxBlade]

Our current elected officials are:

Delaney - Bank/Mistress of Fund/etc

Sharliana - Master of Events...

Both of these positions are up for election as well as any other ideas for positions you may have.

I'm leaving it a little open on purpose this time, just to see what happens. Think of it as an experiment. Or think of it as a way to extract ideas on what folks expect from officers, especially the "newer" folks in the kin.

[Hitorichan]

Considering my inability to coordinate successful events (or come up with ideas that ended up being even marginally popular) I do believe I'll bow out of being the master of events. Should you care to keep me on as an officer, I'd happily apply for the position of officer of "Generally Being Around And Available" or maybe even the officer of "Music And Constantly Postponing Website Coding".

[OnyxBlade]

Thanks to all that's posted and sent me letters or chatted with me in game! I've posted a separate thread with the draft of the officerships that we'll be filling this go around. After we've had a day or two to look it over, we'll put names beside each of them and put em up to a vote.

If we get 2 people running for the same officership, we'll let em duke it out in a to the death cage match pay per view gala extravanganza. If we get a single volunteer, we'll have an election where 2/3rds approval gets him elected.

(yes, i'm making everything up as I go! We'll throw their names up, people will all log in and say "yes, we like bob", or "no, we don't want bob to have the ability to change the message of the day, he can't spell" and then bang, boom, pow! fresh smelling officers)
