He's finished Titan NP and God NP. Currently back at Athens (destroyed) in a God NUR as I recall. I'm still instructing him. It appears some of the basics aren't being put to work still. I'll be sure to correct this.

He noted there being another new GoW union and was surprised we hadn't dropped in to say hello yet. I noted we had plenty of other places to throw the TUGOWU name around and SMALL TIMErs just don't measure up to being worth the time/effort just yet. Perhaps later.

Y halo thar gents.  Miss me? 

Another union?  Probably full of casuals and yuppies who have only jumped on the bandwagon because GOWIII is now out.  Anyway, fortunately in my absence not too much has happened.  I was afraid there might have been an influx of new members, and I would actually be expected to DO something.  

I just finished the game, I'm sure you both have already, your thoughts gentlemen?

Aside from my list on the Home Page, the OT thread, etc. there are other jobs officers can have: "Officers don't have strict roles. Indeed, we used to assigne roles in an Officer thread. -Some for dealing with member behavior (rare that we have to pretend to care) -Some for clean-up (can overlap with the former in the cast of gratuitous bumping, multi-posting, page stretching, crap posting in general, etc.) *including the editing/deleting of the posts of other users while noting who did it, what was changed and why* -Managing union game topics (one or more), attending various topics (deletion, creation, locking, stickies, etc.) -Making telegrams to the union members/officers, new reporting/update generation, etc. -Advertising/Recruiting (regarding union membership) There are more, but those are what come to mind. This said, we also have other roles that need filling. Graphic Designers for instance." "Another one of the uses of 'casual' users (beyond making our pretty banners and such) would be recruiting. The antics of our vets don't often enough lend themselves to winning favor with newbies (especially not the same casuals we often chase away in short order). The trouble with being an active vet is that you don't tend to have time to waste on researching for 'news', making 'graphics', inviting others to our neat-o place to discuss the game, etc. Instead, you'll be doing run work by and large. Sometimes helping others with theirs. You could consider the tackling of 'help' topics the jurisdiction of an Officer, but we've never done as much in the past that I recall. Just anyone that was willing (and hopefully able)." As noted, a role for you, Franchise, might be simply asking questions of your fellow Officers and what it is they do, questioning the wisdom of this and that (Ex: History), etc. Those sorts of things. On page 1 you will see old roles from long ago. Some of these need filling. If we lay these things out, we will have to split the roles between us and perhaps leave out one or two (maybe or maybe not). It isn't entirely necessary to assign an Officer (a recruit suffices) to a matter like advertising us or designing our tags (obviously).

Recruit for designing sounds good enough.

>designing sounds

>sounds

I don't know that we have any use for that.  A new video maybe.  For all the vets we have (many with videos), we sure have a small number of union videos.

>whatever is appointed

When the time comes, we'll get to that as is proper.  We'll worry about cleaning up the old roster (demotions) before making a new one.  I don't expect Inferno or Alucard to turn up commonly, so the position (and roles) doesn't jive.

Worth a shot.  What of making the simple banners, tags, etc.  Shouldn't be too hard.  Just need the art to work with by and large.  Some direction helps.

What other roles interest you?  Though it is not listed, I attend to a number of other facets.  One of which being approval of new members (until the floodgates open up).

You don't have MS Paint?  A chop shop level of work has worked in the past.  I'm pretty sure what we have now is just such a case.  Of course, we don't have "TUGOWU" (as a word) in that special font just lying around, but you can ape it from old banners, tags, etc. easily enough.  New pictures can be found for newer games (like Ascension).

Our banner still reflects our 'golden age'.  CoO brought a Dark Age before the Silver (GoWIII) and Bronze Age (GoS).  Ascension is another matter.  GoW1 was before TUGOWU v1 even as I recall (hard to make a union for a game series that is new and not out yet).

More in terms of quantity of videos rather than length in a given case.  Short and sweet. One for each game, one for all games, one for the union at large (tactics/tips, comprehensive threads, union games, run skeletons *blank and filled*, art gallery, etc.), one for speedrun efforts, one for challenge run efforts, etc.

At least the one.  Preferably showing we are caught up with the times (GoW:A).

>clean up

Not too much need beyond making double posts conform (one post) where that can be applies (character limits prevent these things).

>firm hand

We rarely have to concern ourselves with such things.

>telegrams

Ah, yes.

Franchise: >new recruit

We've had a few new ones in the last week.  About five.  Still have to get some more chaps.  Raeng, GeminiEntity, Zauricon, Hotel, etc.

You should view the Rules/Intro thread for a variety of tidbits.  I believe that is also the thread with a bunch of banners, tags, etc. as reference material for dimensions, flavor, etc.

So it is no trouble then?  Just strip "TUGOWU" off some old signs and change the colors.  Hell, change the color of old signs,  banners, tags, etc.  Go wild and present them where you will.  I still need to look around to see if we had a thread for these things or if it was just gathered up in the OP of Rules/Intro.

I'm just slowly gathering up old art from old sources before hunting for new art and amending some of the gathered up material (getting the TUGOWU off the current banner and things like that *copypasta material*).

What I can do, I will do if will it (which I must).  What I will do, is only what I can do.  To be able is a must for these matters.

I'm making a new list of things for myself to refer to in another thread.

I can certainly remove them.  The process for that is clear.  I'll have to look into the 'adding' part.

I too can't figure how to add. I'll leave that to you. Besides I'm 1 level shy of posting videos to GS anyhow. 

 

More officers? Think we need more? I was thinking Gent, perhaps the first post needs revising?

gent: >more officiers

Choose carefully.  Make them 'stand-ins' if need be.

Franchise: >how to add

Again, I'll have to look into it (if indeed we can do it at all).

For now, let us consider officer roles.  As they are currently stated:

 

GMG:1) All God of War related gaming assistance 2) Information Gathering/Updates

Domain - "TUGOWU Specialty Run Club, "TUGOWU Speedrun Thread", 'Tactics/Tips Threads' and 'Comprehensive GoW Coverage'

Snake:1) General overview of ALL forum games 2) General overview of ALL off-topic threads

Domain - "Off-Topic", "Three Word Story", 'All Contests' and 'All Threads Containing (OT)'

Addam: 1) Coordintaing and maintaining all games 2) Devising temporary games and contests

Domain - "Three Word Story" and 'All Contests'

Alucard:1) Judging if an OT thread is "too" off-topic 2) Moving any off-topic material, in non OT, to there appropriate thread

Domain - "Off-Topic" and 'All Threads Containing (OT)'

Officers, any questions, comments, concerns. Please feel free to express them here.

Clearly we don't expect much of Snake (not an Officer right now anyway) *though that could change* or Alucard.  Eternal isn't around nor an Officer.  Gent is not an officer, but can still have a role.  I have a defined role that hasn't really changed, but I can expand as needed.  Franchise will be assimilating some of them.  Ready to divy this stuff up?

I seem to have a hand dealing in each section. I'm fine to be where I am without anymore duties. It would seem just fine the way it is. But I'll let you and Gent figure this out.

Right now you don't have an assigned duty and those who aren't around do.  That has to be fixed.

Currently 'Dos' is doing a good job with reporting news from Twitter/Facebook.  Another chap for some other news avenues.  It is then up to us to interpret that news.

I'm still updating my primary directive (the noted threads) and there aren't any runners here that needed adding (elsewhere though...).

OT topics and Forum games is up in the air.  Care to grab hold of this?  Snake ain't around nor an Officer.

Gent's loose role in a similar field need not change while he is the Leader (it is more appropriate now than before).

Alucard's role was a strange one.  Hell, we can leave it as it is.

Then there are the other roles I noted in the past (graphic design, recruiter, enforcer of our terms *mod activity*, cleaning up *double post edit/deletion*, etc.).
