Concerning VOLUNTEERS

[KingOfPain]

I am splitting up all the current alliance issues to simplify things. Hopefully we can make some progress before long and move on to some alliance fun.

- Lets also aim to have all the issues workable by the end of the weeks. Secondary concerns can be addressed afterwards.

- Lets split up the responsibilities. Please volunteer to moderate the “Concerning…” threads.

Moderate as in gathering all the inputs and write up a final version.

Please reply which topic you want volunteer for.

Please don't make things more complicated than needed be!

Please don't make things more complicated than needed be!

Complicated as in making a bajillion threads?

Holy Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Batman!

[KingOfPain]

If you have some suggestions how we can move forward you should have said, or, if you have some suggestions or want to contribute still, please do let us know. That's what these threads are for, don't be shy.

The "ALLIANCE NAME" is the only one that could possibly require some finesse w.r.t. moderation. The others are no-brainers I think. They're mostly also rather inconsequential IMO. Although I won't let any moderators sleep on the job, as I plan on being consistently disruptive and off-topic myself.

/agree with Scrios.

Although I see three issues falling into the tricky category:
- Alliance Name (temporary issue)
- Voting/decision making procedure (ongoing constitutional issue)
- Alliance communication structure (which could be ongoing and ever changing)

Most other stuff is minor.

When I say volunteers, I mean, especially, you don't want me to be the one writing shit up - With the emphases on shit!

With the amount of crap i have to deal with in RL on a daily basis right now, if i volunteer for anything, you'll see me have a mental break down. Besides, I'm guild mascot, that's enough for me.

Heh. Don't get me started!

We hit a bit of breeze around here yesterday.

Last night all my shows died when the power cut off at 8:45 (after four momentary failures knocking out shows mid-movie in the preceeding two hours). Great fun when Harry Potter 5 is only half built up and there's still two hours of Pirates of the Caribbean 3 to run through a projector. Emergency lighting only lasted an hour and pretty soon we were down to torchlight. By 10:30 I had experienced being sucked out of a door for the first time ever. No worries though - I got my feet down and decelerated the door enough to save it (the one next to it had been reduced to a spiderweb of reinforced glass some hours earlier). At 11:15 the last two of us packed up and went home, although the storm kept me awake until about 1:00 or something I suppose (dunno really).

I'm told that power came back about 4:30 in the morning. I woke up at 5:43 and after a slalom dash to work negotiating fallen trees, rubbish bins and other crap I burst into the projection room at 6:00 and started slamming Potter together and running those movies through.

My day shift projectionist took over at 8:34, by which I had cleared the movie-related set backs, leaving me to head into damage assessment. Up on the roof one of the air conditioning units had been torn up a bit. One side panel was lying on the roof, the other heavier one from the same unit was simply gone. It was discovered about an hour later north of the building. Most of the filters were ripped out as well and I'm buggered if I know how far those things have gone.

Eventually I came home for three hours, then turned around and went back to work again. There's a remnant of a neon sign whipping around in the wind out front still to tackle and a blown relay in the air conditioner control panel to sort out in the morning, then interlock training for one of my guys, home, telecommute, back to work again, home, crash...



So... yeah. Basically I'm not around either.



PS. Harry Potter hit the screen on time and in perfect presentation!
