Morning, Tellers!
Most of you haven't heard of or about our Armada since we joined it.
So let me recap for you real quick.. it is called STAR, as in Star Trek Alliance of Roleplayers.
In it, we got The Trust (Trust) as Alpha, ourselves of course, 5th Special Operations Division (5SOD), 26th Fleet (26th) and Alpha Centauri Institute (ACI). Some of you might know some of those.
So, while the last meetings have been extremely procedural (and quite frankly, boring), the very one before yesterday did call for a change. And lo an behold, they pulled it off, and gave us change.
Yesterdays meeting was.. very differrent. Very interesting actually, and sparked many ideas on how to do shit differrently in the future, while actually having us all work together, I might say, for the first time in .. basically, forever.
Zane (Trust) was kind enough to release a teaser to the fat-trimmed log, outlining key points we talked about, so imma give you that one right here as well - and follow it up with the actual log as soon as it is released. No worries, I will comment it for you, so you know who is who.
The gist of it:
For those who have been with us for a while now, one or the other idea might sound vaguely familiar.
That's because they are.
Usually this all would have gone down like in the british parliament - yet last time we said "lets maybe not do that". So we didn't.
Very excited about the Armada picking up the pen here, myself.
If you can come up with feedback, cool ideas, or just things you would expect to see from the Armada, please just scribble stuff down here. Norc and I will make sure it reaches the table on the next meetup so it can inspire them.
Update:
Zane has released the log of the night. It is.. extensive. So I will just link it and explain a bit ahead.
Present were..
Zane, Trust
Jenen, 5SOD
Natalya, 26th
Ladera aka Toppers, 26th
Perim, .. ok I have to guess, I think Trust?
Greg aka Norc, Tellers
Chris aka me, Tellers
The system used is handraising "^" and taking turns. One is done talking by stating "yield", then the next in line is up.
The session(s) before had many more procedures in place and last time we all were rather ticked off by it.
So here goes..
Anyhoo, I'd like to hear back from you.
Cheers,
Chris

The gist of it:
Here's some of the most buzzed ideas we talked about at our meeting.
Recruitment
Distribution of recruiting power to Beta Fleets.
Betas would be granted the power to provisionally add fleets as a "trial run"
After the trial, Council approval would be required.
Operations
Changing meetings to quarterly meetings instead of every week for flexibility.
Utilize fleet mailing systems to disseminate information from Council by Councilors or Proxies.
Social
Fleet mixers - every two months?
Use high population maps such as Hathon, ESD, First City, Nimbus, Defera, and commandeer the instance
