BAF : Delegation of Roles and Responsibilities

[Dieter Schprokets]

I could use some help.

Grin has already offered to be Recruitment Officer, and has begun that role, and I am thankful.

Bluntpencil is also organising bounties on his own accord. No complaints there.

Other Roles I can think of include:

1) Training Officer : Shall observe pilot skills and delegate Training roles for various craft. For instance, the Training Officer would select pilots as Templar Trainers, Gunboat Trainers, Bomber Trainers etc. Does not have to be a great PVPer, but should be a good one. Role is to organise training, not neccessarily do it him/herself.

Training Officer must also start a BAF Training Thread in Events/Competitions Forum and in that, organise timing of training days/times on an ad-hoc basis.

2) Promotions and Awards Officer : Shall organise a system to promote members on a monthly basis. Promotion Criteria shall have due regard to seniority (time in faction), activity(time in game), PVP and RP skills, and Forum activity. Design of a formal evaluation system is not neccessary. (Example, RM's promotion system is very structured and works well, but I don't envision something that formal. Soliciting opinions of senior members works very well. Must have regard for timezones. Some members are great, but you'll never know if they live on the other side of the planet..)

Shall also reccommend award recipients to me. Right now we only have the DFC and Carina's Cross.

3) Discipline Officer

Shall have a dual role. In-RP punishment of misbehaving CHARACTERS, and faction sanction of misbehaving PLAYERS. Tough job, and will start out on tight leash, but ultimately will get more autonomy, to the point where they demote people and I find out afterwards, who and why.

4) Diplomatic Officer

Tough One. But will handle all diplomatic issues. Authority will start out limited, and increase with time. I can think of a few people who can handle this one.

Was also thinking of other roles including Second in Command, KOS list guy, Event Planner, but not sure how many of these I need.

Volunteers? Comments?

Discuss away. I'm gone till Sunday or Monday, so play with this to your hearts' content.

EDIT : Was thinking of Lt Commanders and above for these roles. Preferably much higher for Promotion, Diplomatic and Discipline roles. Actual Trainers (As opposed to THE Training Officer) could easily be lower rank though.
