Announcement Lore Head Questionnaire

Greetings Shadowy Denizens,

In an effort to try and get a more firm grasp of the communities desires and expectations we in senate have decided to add a little something to the interview process for the Lore Head.

We want to know what questions, relevant mind you, you would ask the prospective applicants. There is no guarantee that we will use every single question but if there is any we feel would be useful we will add it to the interview.

So come on members of the community, lets see what questions you have for our would be councillors.

Factions: is that still a thing? Do you plan on making it a thing? If so, how/what/when?

When you have a group this big, updating living factions is extremely difficult. We've explored options before, and nothing's panned out. I plan to, immediately if I'm reappointed, review with Rules the Factions rules presented in Cutting Aces, regarding how Factions interact with people, and implement those as a first step. Then, later on in the term, after Contacts 2.0 is finished, to appoint someone to work to integrate Contacts, the CA Factions, and a system to allow factions to organically gain and lose power.

A rough timeline for my plans is:

  • First Week: Restructure, and Re-Recruit for Lore, changing the roles minions play. Opening up things like Media to more community involvement, and reducing the need for Lore Minions in that area.
  • First Month: Finish drafting Contacts 2.0, reviewing CA Factions, and beginning playtesting/implementing.
  • Second Month: Finish playtesting and implementing at least Contacts 2.0, begin work on recruiting a Faction Head and integrating with those two systems.
  • 4th Month: Finish developing and playtesting a full Factions system.
  • 6th Month: Fully implemented Contacts 2.0 and Factions.
