For the past few weeks I have been one of the acting leaders of Armada, and I would like to think that I have helped to set the society on the path to be successful. As I have said in my introduction post I have been in the leadership postition in many many actual MMO games, for many many years.

In this role I have noticed alot about this society, and game, and would like to make some comments to the society as a whole, as well as some suggestions.

My first suggestion is about the leadership roles in the society. About the voting, all good in theory however like I mentioned to Ren, what we may like to do instead is have 2 co-leaders and allow them to choose officers. As well instead of holding elections monthly, perhapse every 2 months, or even every reset. This would allow the leader to implement and run plans to win the map, which is what our ultimate goal is. No matter what your choice for charachters.

My second suggestion has also been mentioned to Ren. If I am not able to play, I would suggest that Minoman take my place as co leader of Armada.

Third, we need to watch the arguments. Don't matter what anyone thinks, any amount of what can be bickering going back and forth aint right. And dont try tellin me it wasent bickering, I'm not going to argue anything like that if I'm here or not.

Fourth, I would suggest having ship building parties every 2 days. Like we did tonight everyone that helps, with production, will be given a title, free and clear, to do what they please with. This game has many lacking qualities which will become painfully apparent once players start capping. There are only so much ships you can go kill together, or port battles before the game starts getting that repitious play style. You need to make reasons for players to come in and play. PvP would be the main one I use, however as we have seen shipbuilding is a nice hour or 2 of production and hunting that the whole society can get into without having to play the same mission over and over again. In games such as WoW or EQ you have raids, I'm not sure if this game is going to be able to run something like that.

Fifth, recruitment. We need to get a recruitment officer sooner rather than later, one that will be able to do the shouts in Nation and be able to competantly answer questions. I think this is the most important officer postion in the society because it will determine the future of the society. Get good, helpful, selfless people in the guild, and it will work out great. Do not be worried about making a "big" guild. Size is not a indication of how well a guild is doing. For example when my guild was about 12 great players we got more done than when we were 140+ strong. Not only that by everyone was happier. Moral of the story, selective recruting is better than getting everyone in game.

If I am not able to play I wish everyone good luck and a happy year. If I am going to be playing you can expect to see alot of what I have posted here coming into effect, even if you dont always see me due to the time differences.
