RECENT ANNOUNCEMENTS

October Overview

November 1, 2015 - HierarchAngel | 0 Comments

Oh oh it's magic! I hope everyone who celebrated Halloween had a good one as we now enter the month of November looking back on the month that was October.

ORG MEMBERSHIP & STEAM GROUP
=========================================
Auxilium Org: Gained 14 new member but lost 1
Steam Group: Gained 7 new members
Discord: We are at 14 members total! (What's discord? See below!)

The member we lost decided to dedicate more time and energy towards their main org affiliation and in essence trimmed the fat. We can't make everyone a believer in our message but it's always good people have somewhere they feel they belong.

And yes October was one of largest growths in membership we've seen in a long time. Let's build off this momentum and carry it onward to November.

NEW CHAT SYTEM
=========================================
Teamspeak is no more! What's an org to do without Teamspeak? Well we decided as a group purely by display of increased activity levels, morale and absolute love of the program Discord to have Eckho to stop payment for Teamspeak.

So everyone, let Eckho know you appreciated his contribution! The beauty of Discord is that it cost nothing to any of our members. And it's more aligned with the aesthetics of our organization, plus people seem to love its more chat-centric focus.

Therefore if you haven't joined our Discord group please do at the following link....

https://discord.gg/0bQxtoYWyehsq9Jv

It has a desktop, web, and mobile app so something for everyone.

NEW LEADERSHIP
=========================================
Anyone who has been using Discord has gotten to know the new rising star within Auxilium. Lodestar Eris has risen not only to Advocacy but is now our latest member to Advocate Review Council.

Of which if anyone would like to step up to the plate like Eris and take a chance to see if you would be a good fit for Advocacy please nominate yourself or someone else you might be a good choice on the following thread...

WHAT ELSE IS NEW
=========================================
A lot of structure, naming, policy changes are being discussed in the forums even right now as I post this so take an active role. In the month of October we finished up a 1st draft of our structure summary and drafted a FAQ. Once it gets a 2nd or 3rd look over you will eventually see it added to our website that is under construction.

So not bad considering that was on the To Do list last month and was knocked out.

FINAL WORD
=========================================
We are in a state of stable but constant change, I believe the best word is refinement yet some drastic changes can still occur. We want to make sure this is an organization where every voice is heard. It's why we work really hard on all our policies and draft the rules in which different branches of AID are to abide by.

As always your input is wanted, do not stay silent. This organization will be home to many players, we want it to be the sort of family you always wanted to have in a video game. And your participation ensures that becomes a reality.

September Overview

October 8, 2015 - HierarchAngel | 0 Comments

For the month of September...

ORG MEMBERSHIP & STEAM GROUP
=========================================
Auxilium Org: Gained 1 new member
Steam Group: Gained 2 new members

It was a slow month, not our first nor last but goodness wait till you see Octobers Overview cause our numbers are up.

WHAT'S NEW?
=========================================
1) We're attempting to use Slack and see if it works well as a collaborating tool between a small group of players. So far it's been a challenge, in fact OneNote has been a much better medium between our members to work off of.

2) Escapin is working on a promo video for Auxilium here is his teaser of what he has in mind... https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=1&v=Dr_MnDYHJPA

Be on the look out as he might be looking for voice actors, if and when he is ready to look for such people to fill roles I will post an announcement looking for volunteers.

3) The Endeavor is released and Hospital Ships are the talk of the town, sadly it is not without controversy given the insta-spawn element to it. But it has clearly sparked some passionate debates on the RSI forums. With our own Dltprm being quite the voice of reason.

TO DO LIST
=========================================
We're working on a FAQ, I want to make certain things clear so there is no confusion. Also it saves me time as an ARC member (Human Resources) from having to explain things more than once. Remember I don't copy and paste anything but weblinks when I write welcome messages. So having a link directing to an FAQ will save me a whole lot of time.

Last month I spoke about an Advocate meeting, I won't lie my past month has been hectic and I've failed at making an Advocate meeting a reality. But such is the nature of a To Do list....to eventually do it.

FINAL THOUGHTS
=========================================
I know we call ourselves a Search and Rescue Org, but we're more than that...we are a humanitarian aid organization. I really look forward to how we can expand our reach beyond just SAR. Perhaps exploration is an endeavor we should discuss, let's be the org that makes first contact in the most peaceful way possible. Or maybe we can expand into farming and help feed starving planets.

Yet we as an organization are faced with the reality that at least 90% of the people in the game will be NPCs and even then no one is truly starving, no one truly hurt... yet realizing this I say who cares.

Let's be the sort of people we ought to be always, let's do good in ways that may have little benefit to our organization. Sure if it's too damaging to our growth it can be overlooked for now, but our ambitions far exceed Search and Rescue as there will be many orgs profiting from such a venture. Whereas we can find value in other areas where people are unable to seek profits, instead are only left with positive experiences.

But that is just my two cents.
