So I said previously in the nomination thread that I would happily share with anyone curious about my nomination what my goals were with taking the FO position but I feel like while this vote is actually taking place I should put it out there concretely what my actual hope is with taking this position.
I think it's fair to say that as it has stood for some time the GA has struggled to a degree, the faction was created with the purpose of PvP and fighting the dark side, and so after such a long period of peacetime, it struggled to maintain itself and keep people engaged. Similarly to what Cedric suggests, it is possible that some reform is necessary, and i'll be endeavouring to ensure that any reform we do take is backed up by the majority of the players to ensure whatever changes possibly end up getting made, they keep intact the Alliance you all love.
I'll do my best if elected to the FO position to improve our relationships with potential allies, but also to do the same with our enemies. It can be very easy especially in times like this when we have multiple invasions going, for people to get caught up in the map game and PvP and forget that we're all just here to have fun, on both sides. As it stands, I have decent relationships with members of the GE, and will endeavour to develop such relationships among the TSE and FO to ensure that we keep fun and storytelling first and foremost in this war, no cloudbreaks for the sake of it and more of a focus on good writing and a long-lasting, engaging story than whoever wins or loses.
For internal adjustments, I would endeavour to ensure we streamline and keep open many of the structures that we have in place, with a particular focus on our government, military and jedi arms. I will do my best to keep strong all the sub-units that the GA writers love, while ensuring our primary focus is on the major three arms of the GA, to ensure people have things to aspire to.
Rewards will be distributed following major events, and I will make sure that myself and the Admin team are doing our best to ensure that all writers and characters in the GA gain as much development and value out of any of our threads as possible. The GA will be your place to grow.
Cedric Grayson is an excellent writer, and he would be a magnificent choice as well, so I would be quite content to support him, however I am able, and I will certainly remain on as a Faction Admin if he is voted in instead of myself.
As before, I am open to any contact in discord or PMs if you have any questions for me.
