I'd just like to make it completely public that I'm absolutely aware that lately our faction has been lacking in private threads, faction threads, and otherwise facilitating to roleplay outside of dominions. I'd like to also apologize for anyone who felt alienated during the Netherworld event; we're not ignoring you. It's just difficult to manage a large faction and our new faction admins are still getting situated with their positions.

Keeping all that in mind, I'd like to grab some opinions in a few polls. Consider it almost a survey but more importantly our interest in the opinions and desires of our faction members. I believe that blunt honesty and constructive criticism is the easiest way to figure out where one needs to improve and that's no different in this situation. So be honest with us, tell us what you think, what you want, and how we could do things differently. I'm someone who finds no issue in conforming to new standards so long as they benefit everyone involved. If I'm doing something wrong I want to hear about it.

With that, I'd like to give a big thanks to everyone! Our dominions aren't completely done yet but the amount of progress we've achieved this March is both astonishing and commendable. I'm proud to be the Faction Owner of such a wonder group of people.

As for the poll itself, I'd like you to discuss as much as you want on each question. Just make sure to label which question in particular you're mentioning about to avoid confusion and to allow us the opportunity to further come up with ways to improve our demeanor and inspire new interests in the faction.
 
I answered Sometimes to Thread pacing because it really does depend on the Thread. If I feel invested in the thread, and it makes sense to my character, I have very little trouble engaging myself (such as Korriban and Dromund Kaas). While other threads that have a specific mission involved that other's may have no problem writing their character (Irn), I can't even bring myself to join 3/4 of the times.

That's just how I am though, so nothing to consider reform wise! Keep doing what you're doing!

As soon as we're done with the event, we should create a Religious Holiday to blow off some steam for those of us a little exhausted from the political game of factions. Or just like, a laid back adventure with no real consequences :D

I really like this idea. I'll see what we can come up with and check on how others feel about it, otherwise thanks for the input. :)

I'll explain my responses on everything as well.

1. Dominions are good. No complaints.

2. Sometimes I forget to check. People need to tag more.

3. Outside of Skirmishes and Dominion threads, I really haven't seen any Primeval RP tbh. We've got all these cool planets that are just begging to be explored; but they aren't. We need more threads where we train as a unit. Combat RP is good for everyone. We also need some more faction type RP so everyone feels included.

4. No, but sometimes the staff miss out on threads. Though I think this is more due to the fact that Anja is pretty much the only REALLY active staff member; and there is just to much shit on her plate to deal with everything as effectively as she might want to.

5. Not really. Sometimes they move along quickly and you come along to see there have been like 5-10 posts that you've missed; but this can be fixed with people tagging more.

6. We need more fun threads. Cantina type RP helps increase activity and allows characters to get to know other characters within the faction. Plus it actually holds people together. We also need rank tags because I think it gives people a goal to strive for and it adds another element to RP. And finally, we need some more lore on the Old Gods and the faction as well. If I want to be a religious fanatic, we need more info on our religion so we can be fanatical.

7. Again, this is more due to the fact that the really only active staff member we have is Anja.

8. Bro. The hours that I'm home and not doing sports, I literally spend on the forums. Refreshing every few minutes; waiting for people to respond. GIVE ME WORK DAMN IT!

9. Coordination - I think this stems from a lack of clear cut command. People need someone to tell them what to do and when to do it. It helps create structure and adds to RP. COMMAND ME DAMN IT.

Inclusiveness - Outside of the dominion threads, I don't feel like I'm in the Primeval. We need more faction only threads.

Communication - The first world report was cool. Where's the second? I think this will go a long way to helping our communication problems.

Development - Hard to develop my character when I can't RP with anyone in the faction due to a lack of threads.

Resources - Faction forums needs cleaning up, and we need a manifest of everything available to faction members.

10. This thread is a good idea for people to get their opinions out there. We just need people to see this thread. GOTTA TAG EM ALL!

Just my opinions on some of the stuff that's going on. [member="Anja Aj'Rou"] contact me over skype if you want to talk more in depth about some of this stuff.
