How do we handle the RPG's problems?

Ok i'll "make it so"

Well when you register from the main site, you will have the help you need. When you register there you will be taken through a serie of steps so you know in what kind of fleet you will be in. Also at the end it states that you have to report to the main office of that Board/Division. When you have more suggestions please tell them, we like to know were we can improve our RPG http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

I say more ships with smaller crews for the following reason. If you have a ship where say 2 or 3 people have multiple characters to crew the ship, then it wont be to much of a lose if they cant post for a while...and if they can, you have a few active missions.

[Vorak]

I think that if we tell people to make only one character, for example; this is the result:

they make a character once more when they want, but with another email address, or claim it to be a friend using their comp for example

If we ALLOW them to make other characters, this happens:

they will admit it is them as well, so we will KNOW it, and if we KNOW it, we can better CONTROL it, and that way we can do our best to put every of their chars on another ship. If we dont know (for sure) they're the same person, we cant fully control it and put them on different ships, you see?

[Sloan]

There is another reason for my suggestion...many ships and small crew. That way people that can't get along well have less contact with each other. Like for example de Heer has other characters in starfleet and so does Rugal. Many ships and small crew would make it less likely for them to have to work together on the same ship. Hence, they could better avoid each other. See what I am getting at?

Tolerence is the answer to lifes problems.

I have people in my area at work that I absolutly dislike with a passion.  Personality conflicts everywhere.

Worst luck is she's my supervisor so yes she lords it over me.  But I tolerate her for the harmony of others.  To others it seems we work well togather because we both endure it not because we like it.

Thats something several of us here and me included need to learn and understand.

This idea has my full support, and in fact, it only explains in different words the exact same thing I am building in my mind.
Only, I have been building the idea in a practical way already, as in... how will we arrange this whole webring system, which boards for which forums.

I would say it like this:
There will be DIVISIONS.

To begin, I think it would be good to see Expansion in TWO IMPORTANT PARTS:
1. Starfleet
2. Corporation
(after all, that is the main idea we have this RPG built for)

So that means: 2 mean HQ boards.
HQ Board 1: Station Avalon, mission planning, division HQ's, reports, subspace communications, databases, main offices, all departments, of Starfleet...
HQ Board 2: the same but for the Corporation...

THEN, we make DIVISIONS.
For example, one division exists of 3 ships (or 2 ships and 1 station).  They have their own board with all the necessary forums (which can be more extended because it will be ANOTHER board, and that also makes everything more organized than it is now).
That way, we could for example, have the USS SKytoucher, USS Evolution and USS Rivendell as ONE DIVISION.
Section 31/Intel/FSS could be ANOTHER DIVISION
The Cardassians would be a DIFFERENT DIVISION.

And the Corporation could do so on their part.

As for the divisions, the captains will need to make reports to their CO's about their missions, findings and so on.  Every division has an ADMIRAL assigned, that has to make sure that everything inside this division runs well.  THIS ADMIRAL deals with the problems such as disputes and so on, and brings it to certain departments on the HQ BOARD when necessary, and goes to HIS CO if he can't take care of it himself.
Also, this DIVISION CO ADMIRAL will make a GENERAL REPORT about his WHOLE division, and sends this report to the HQ board, where the higher admirals will look into it.

Why?
Problem 1 that is solved: the admirals have more to do than now, and they will actually get a "real responsibility".  For example: a report that is due on tuesday, is due on tuesday and no day later!
Problem 2 solved: chain of command.  You go to your OWN CO with a problem first, not directly to the Fleet Admiral or Senior Major just to request shoreleave for a day.
Problem 3 solved: there will be more communication between admirals, and the officers under their divisions as well, and they will be important links between HQ and DIVISION, and also, there will be STANDARD PROCEDURES and REGULATIONS appliccable to EVERYONE to prevent any kind of disputes

An EXTRA role for S31/FSS/Intel, and if Winterspoon decides for the Corporation the same then also for the CIB, would be to do random checks on the way a division is being run.  For example, by infiltrating undercover and checking if the admiral is doing his job CORRECTLY, if his division is following the RULES and REGULATIONS as well as the procedures, or if rules are being broken and things are being kept secret from HQ.

Each division brings their own fleet-news in the way they wish so themselves, although its something i need to work out in my mind still.

This way, more "divisions" can be added on an easier base... for example, if Shadowfleet wants to LINK with us, Shadowfleet can become a DIVISION.

There are more parts to this plan that need to be worked out practically, but at least you know the main idea now.

I also totally agree...everybody would have plenty of work!! and hopefully no more fights http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
