Official Faction Leader recognition

[jammi]

Hello all!

Quick announcement to let everyone know that we've created a Faction Leader Lounge on the main server and applied a new coloured role to 1iC's on the main community discord.

This is a private chat that can be used by OFLs to discuss among themselves, and freely consult with staff about regional development ideas, events and similar matters.

Access is only being granted to faction 1iCs (who can choose whether they want to participate or not). 2iCs or other delegates will not be granted access, so it's probably worthwhile for OFs to ensure their leader is actively invested in the game if they want to make use of the option.

For those thinking, "is this a return of the OFL Skype Chat / Story Working Groups?" Kind of, but not really. Previously these groups were considerably held back by a lack of proper moderation. We'll be adopting a zero-tolerance approach going forward; failing to participate courteously will result in loss of access altogether for that faction.

It would be useful if the 2iCs are also added to that role and channel,
Just my suggestion - Thanks

Hello there.

I concur, that is a good idea (in my opinion) to have this kind of working relationship with the staff again. And yes, I agree for the moderation, it is only natural for it to have such a policy. I look forward to the future developments and to discuss them between us all - implementing again (kind of, as written), this is, in my opinion, a step in the right direction.

Factions are the mainstay of Discovery after all. Through the factions are the players, and thus the community. Well, glad to see it! I look forward to see how this goes, and maybe we can finally have this set in stone, with a proper working relationship and channel to discuss said matters.

Cheers.

Hmm, Unofficials are kinda VERY left out here. Maybe add the Active Unofficial Factions to that group, no?

That's kind of a definitional criteria for an Official Faction Leader's coordination channel.

We'll make our own private chat with blackjack and hookers.

having 2ic's in there would be very handy, since 1ic's live notoriously busy lives and (in my experience) many factions run on 2ic's just as much as 1ic's, depending on what the point of the channel is: if there's actual story progression bulletpoints being given to factions so they know in what direction they are expected to lean their RP then I would say it's very important to get 2ic's involved.

If your 1IC is so out of touch that they can't pass on information discussed in the OFL channel, then perhaps you need a new 1IC for your OF.
