Let's move on to some other news.

 

In the past, when we originally branched our ranks off into specific "teams", we had a Director assigned to oversee each team. This was never really well documented to the public and has recently been forgotten among the higher-ups. However, we're going to be bringing this back; designating a Director to each team, and we're going to be upfront about who is doing what, for the sake of transparency and accountability. So, the designations are as follows:

 

Caution - As the President, Caution oversees everything, even the Vice President. And currently, isn't needed as we're only handing out four separate designations, and we have four Directors to take care of them. However, Caution will still step in when need be to give input and criticism when he sees fit.

 

Gator - As the Vice President, Gator will oversee all of the Directors and ensure that we're performing properly, and fill the gaps where and if need be. Of course, he'll also make sure that the oversight of every team is being handled smoothly, and make adjustments if need be.

 

Dominic - Dominic will be the Administrative Officer overseer. This means being in charge of bringing up and handling disciplinary actions against them if need be, whether that be inactivity or poor behavior. This overseer is also in charge of organizing AO meetings, ensuring team cooperation, and swapping around and reassigning them to different servers if need be. They'll also be primarily in charge of suggesting new additions to the team.

 

Hawks - Hawks will be the Community Advisor overseer. This is essentially the same blueprint as the overseer of Administrative Officers, where he'll be in charge of organizing meetings, ensuring activity and good performance, scouting for worthy people to come up to the rank, so on and so forth.

 

Greggy G - Greggy G will be the Events Team overseer. This is also essentially the same blueprint as the above two, however given we've retained our "Event Manager" position and have two incumbents, this overseer takes more of a backseat. But if the EMs need any help, a Director to sign off on a decision, etc., this will be the person they go to.

 

kabLe - kabLe will be the Servers overseer. This overseer can somewhat intermingle with the overseer of Administrative Officers, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. However, this spot is more about helping managers with actual server management, giving suggestions to improve the state of the servers, suggesting and implementing new servers, etc. So the focus will be largely different than the Administrative Officer overseer.

 

Obviously, these are all spots we're going to focus on, but this isn't meant to limit us nor does this mean Directors will start acting autonomously necessarily. If Greggy is busy and can't help an EM with something, of course I'm still going to step in. And if there's an AO that needs to be let go, I'm still going to consult the Board. This is meant to divvy up responsibilities a little more clearly and give us as Directors a clear goal when we're putting time and effort in here. Oftentimes as a Director, you start focusing on a million different tasks given how boundless your role is, but this will hopefully help us to key in on certain tasks and finish them quicker. And as lower staff and regulars, this gives you a better idea of who to approach with suggestions, questions, concerns, etc.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Lastly, on behalf of the Event Managers, a quick call to action for the Events Team. We're looking for new members!

 

The Events Team is a key position at Steam-Gamers currently. Running events to bring the community together, running server events to help population, and handling smaller scale items like the question of the day are all very important to us currently. With nothing go on, things would quickly go stale and we'd be in a much worse position. But, it's not hard by any means to help out. There is very little learning curve with this team, as all you really need to know how to do is:

 

- come up with an idea for an event, a get together, or anything else that will help the community
- be able to write a thread and present it in a decent fashion
- show up to host it, encourage people to have fun, and make it the best experience you can

 

And the Events Managers are eagerly looking for new applicants to promote to the team. Plus, it's a great way to prove yourself in the eyes of other staff members if you're interested in another position in the community. Additionally, with two great team leaders, you'll have no problem adjusting and learning the ropes. So please, if you're interested in helping, apply now with the button below!
