mod announcement
Good evening, Save the Earth!
On the 10th, a fairly informal announcement of the new modteam went up, but we weren't able to be more transparent about duties and responsibilites at that time because there hadn't been time to hash those things out. As of now, those decisions have been made, and so we'll be outlining them for you.
Your HEAD MOD team is as follows:
Blue (Anthony Janvier, Walter Beck, Steve Bean)
Kira (Blaine Frost, Siiri Pulkkinen & Floweregg, Thorir T. Thorsson)
Louise (Annabel Lyons, Octavia Serket, Nathaniel Mithryn)
Sandy (Steven Huguenot, Yoko Aznable)
Player relations will, for the most part, fall under the purview of Kira and Louise; Kira will be handling the FAQ and general player plotting & gameplay questions, and Louise will be focusing on player concerns and mediation in a non-plotting & gameplay arena. You can absolutely still go to any mod with concerns - but Louise and Kira will be handling day-to-day questions. The metaplot mods are Sandy and Blue; Blue is largely responsible for handling the active metaplot & subplots as they're implemented into gameplay, and Sandy will be writing up plot posts and announcements, as well as being the first in line on metaplot questions, along with larger metaplot development and implementation. AC will be largely handled by a helper mod, with Sandy as the head mod overseeing the process. All mods are still responsible for rule application and making decisions on changes to gameplay, as well as the application process. We hope that by dividing up duties into several spheres, things can be dealt with at a steadier pace, and allow for a clearer delineation of our decision-making process. This separation of duties is meant to mark the mod in question as the primary mod for it - this is a moderation team, and more complex situations will be handled by us as a group.
Your HELPER MOD team is as follows:
Aave (Alan Hunter)
Bookie (Phillip Santorini, Neku Sakuraba, Melissa Lyre, Pierce Wingate)
Kalan (Gerald Vakarian)
Len (Kara Miroshnychenko, Nyah Leijon)
Olga (Karl Aurion)
Aave remains an applications mod. Bookie and Kalan will be on Echoes and apps, Len is in charge of AC and working on the various lists, and Olga will be working on Echoes and assisting with the lists. Playing NPCs will remain a group affair on an as-needed basis. Echo mods are now part of the application process, in an attempt to streamline issues with first Echoes, which tend to hold things up.
We want to once again thank everyone who applied - your interest is appreciated - and hope everyone will work with us from here as we try to move forward. The modteam is dedicated to giving StE a dynamic atmosphere where player actions help form the plot, but more importantly, we want to foster an atmosphere where the playerbase is comfortable speaking up.
In the next few days, several changes will be coming to the game - a plot calendar has already been announced as in the works, and kinks are being worked out of the process now. We'll also be changing the way the mod contact pages work, specifically adding the option for comments to be screened or unscreened, and making small changes to plot post structure, and the current application/re-application process, including a rubric. We ask for your patience as we implement these changes, and want to thank you for staying with us during recent events.
