( 002 ) MOD ANNOUNCEMENT: STATION ROSTER & TIMELINE



Dear Reverie Operators,

This mod post concerns the introduction of a game timeline (more on that below) and the mid-month “mini event”, regarding information characters will receive access to ICly: on the morning of May 15th, all communication devices will give a chirp. Upon checking their communication device (or the nearest terminal, should your character have destroyed their personal device), characters will be faced with a choice.

REVERIE TERMINAL:
( 1 ) NEW MESSAGE. ACCEPT STATION ROSTER?
Y/N


If characters choose yes, THIS FILE will download to their device. Unlike the link, it will not be editable in itself. The sender is simply identified as "Reverie Terminal" and any attempts to trace the sender will only reveal that the message originates on the station. The date of the file is corrupted, but it certainly isn't newly created.

Characters are welcome to discuss this message on the network or in person, suggest themselves for particular jobs, figure out how selection procedures should work (e.g. is self-nomination sufficient, should there be voting, is it a matter of competence or of sheer strength) or disregard the station roster entirely and figure out their own way of life on the station. Fact is: the station needs maintenance and characters need to get organised somehow. It looks like they'll be on Reverie Terminal for a while yet, after all...

OOCly, should characters decide to use this roster, you're welcome to edit the spreadsheet to reflect the jobs your characters have chosen, were chosen for or have started performing. For most of these there is no reason why more than one person couldn't do the job (even station governor could be fulfilled by, say, an assembly of characters rather than one person) and characters are of course welcome to take on one or several jobs on a part-time basis or invent additional jobs. Moreover, some jobs will, at this time, be impossible or very difficult to perform due to a lack of access to the relevant information, areas or technology.

Feel free to use this post to talk about character responses, plot, etc.
If there are any questions or comments, please leave them under the designated top level below.

Additionally, there is now a GAME TIMELINE outlining events that may be of relevance to old and new characters alike as they shape life on the station, ask important questions or learn more about the station’s history. All information linked to or contained on the timeline is information characters who’ve been around can ICly know and that new characters can learn about by asking around or reading the network. We’d love your help in keeping the timeline up to date and relevant. Please see the linked post for more information.

That’s all for now from our side but as usual, don’t hesitate to let us know if there’s anything that’s unclear or that requires our attention.

ICly we can't fill it out, but OOCly we can, so when people OOC fill it out, is that reflected ICly? Like, would characters suddenly see names filled out on the sheets as we work things out OOCly, or will they ICly remain blank?

SINCE Haruto "found" an extra communicator (aka I purchased an extra one with AC bonus points), would the message have gone out to both his communicators?

So! Given he's starting the makeshift medbay, Ren will want to sign himself up under one of the medical titles.

Is anyone else considering this and if so, would your character be interested in lending help to the clinic?

[personal profile] givenofox 2018-05-13 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
As mentioned in the discord, it might be a good idea to have a group of multiple people acting as governors/leaders?

This was, characters can ICly rest assured that it's not all "might makes right" or "one person decides everything".

Alternatively, there's the options of everyone deciding to throw out any sort of elections and make all decisions together as a group, but with 70+ characters that might be hard. :|a

Personally I'm not sure the station needs a leader figure, but my strong suspicion is that given the number of ICly lawful/power-hungry folks around, it's going to come to that anyway? Whether it's a democratically elected single figure, or a board, or a group of people.

As such, I'm personally leaning towards harm minimization. OOC voting always kind of goes sour, and IC voting often can bleed over into that (but it can also be fun when it works out). Venus is probably going to argue that they don't need a governor if people don't immediately make grabby hands for it, but... like, I can't not be the chaotic voice of dissent if it happens. I play a devil, it's out of my hands. :P

ICly Mako is going to be against voting for anyone as leader, since they've all been here like two weeks and no one knows anyone or anything, so it would essentially be like throwing darts at a board with pictures on it LMFAO

venus for governor 2k18

[personal profile] wingstosee 2018-05-13 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
OKAY, SO-

All of this sort of depends on how people handle things ICly! But as of right now, there are a couple of ways things can go.

  1. Venus nominates all three of the Worst Girls for the position of comms officer. They've got plenty of experience with all things radio/sirens/broadcasting, even if those things are a lot more spiritual where they're from, and they'd honestly be good at this job. Even if they didn't want to be.
  2. Venus nominates all three of the worst girls for the position of governor. In the event that any sort of election happens, or it becomes clear single people are trying to take a position of leadership, Venus might impulse nominate her crew (Neptune/Jupiter/Venus) for governor just to be contradictory. Their entire position would be "people can do what they want, don't be dicks, nobody needs to rule the station with an iron fist" anyway, which might be for the best?

Of course, all that depends on things being handled in a nominated/elected fashion. In the event that things go differently, Venus will probably get handled differently as well! If you want to iron things out with me about anything, just holla me up below!

Hey everyone!

So, I shot off an idea to the mods earlier about potentially throwing a station-wide (non-compulsory) meeting. Ryo here has been bouncing this idea off of Ezra and I am sure more than a few of you are aware of my chatting about it on different channels. So, my suggestion was this:

Ryo is already familiar with the communicators and would be naturally compelled to @all everyone about a meeting anyway. He's used to throwing together important congregations and is very, very used to public speaking on national scales. I wouldn't mind composing a catch-all log for this meeting, but I wanted to see what everyone else thought regarding this whole idea or the potential layout should it jive with you all:

How do we want to organize IC suggestions?

↪ Under one header?
↪ Sub-categories for each suggestion (i.e., how elections/distribution should go, those who would want to be voted in for a particular job, general suggestions unrelated to the announcement, etc.)?

Do we want voting/campaigning or a battle royale? Or both?

↪ Personally, Ryo would suggest voting.
↪ OOCly, I think we could keep an eye on it in the log (if we decide to go that route) and offer a poll within the post (that would reflect IC choices, of course). ADD: I notice RNG has also been suggested and I think that's very clever. I think that could be expanded on by IC voting and then RNG-ing from a pool of the highest voted.

Personally, I like a bit of IC sabotage and drama in these processes. So, I definitely would love to see that happen if it would happen ICly for your characters. I'm terrible.

Otherwise: yay or nay on this log? If yay, when would be best for it to posted up for you guys (after the 15th, of course)?

ADD: I see there's a post sort of related to this up further! But, my log question still stands definitely.

I'd say yes on the log and maybe sub-categories for reach suggestion! As for when...OOCly a weekend, maybe? People typically aren't so busy so more could take part when it goes up rather than later on.

[personal profile] setpoint 2018-05-13 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
So Mako is not going to be Down with this. Her view is basically going to be that just because some automated system (or someone?) sent them a list with a bunch of leadership positions doesn't mean they need to scramble to fill those positions. She's going to be worried that someone unqualified (or worse, someone who's actively a bad person) will get nominated or voted in just because they're charismatic enough to charm people, so she's going to be p vocal about not holding a bunch of votes until much later, if at all.

Her suggestion will probably be that they arrange volunteer teams, like one for engineering, one for r&d, whatever, and avoid filling spots that are obviously positions of authority (like governor or a security team) considering none of them actually know each other yet. If anyone else is in that boat, hmu! Maybe they can try to make a good case for it!

Completely unrelated to all talk of filling positions now, later, voting or volunteer teams, etc. A FAR LESS IMPORTANT COMMENT:

... Kat would like to (and maybe already has a little bit) start sorting out stuff at the bar and being bartender at least a few hours a day; she worked as a bartender back home for a while and likes the job bc it lets her (try to) brighten peoples' days a bit. it's completely unofficial and she doesn't mind keeping it that way (and neither do i), no one's getting paid on this station anyway...

so! anyone else interested in hanging out at the bar? :>

Hank's not gonna get too involved in any discussions about who's in charge. (Being an AI from a canon where they count as property to be regulated, he wouldn't expect a vote-- and even if it were offered, he'd be cautious about ending up on the bad side of somebody's power play.)

He would be interested in helping out though, and if anyone wants to pull him into their projects, I'd be very up for that! He comes with the advantage of being hooked in throughout the station (good for comms or general keeping an eye out), and the disadvantage of not actually being able to do much besides talk. He's got the software to run medical assessments, maintain life support, etc., but isn't hooked up to any hardware for that at this time.

Frank will go to the meeting for sure and generally rally around anyone who is suspicious of this shit. But also he'd totally volunteer to be Boss of Taking out the Trash!!! It's his specialty okay. He will be sitting at the back with his puppy just kind of taking mental notes on everyone lmfao

Miller on the other hand will be VERY VERY VOCAL about everything and heckle legit everyone to death over this. Pretty much why I timed apping him to now NGL. He will protest the very idea of a list or volunteering for positions completely and call everyone names for not prioritizing getting the hell OFF this rust bucket!!!

While Apollo is 100% all for people getting together to take on some common-good tasks and objectives (open doors!! find a command deck!! get the hell of this station!! look after people who can't look after themselves!! not in that order) the idea of electing people to positions of authority (lol) is something he is going to side-eye. A group of representatives discussing priorities and voting on them, yes, sure, but like. Security? Wardens?? Special Ops???? No, that's a bit much.

Also he's going to be suspicious af about the fact that there don't seem to be any job roles relating to this actually being a proper space station. Like where's the flight deck, the traffic control, etc etc. Is this actually a real list SHOULD WE EVEN TRUST IT AT ALL

So he will vote to disregard but also encourage the idea of loose groups of people organised by skill sets to work on some common-good objectives with the ultimate aim of getting off the ship because he's a hippie who wants to go home

9S has been shown to be able to repair advanced machines, but he's not really an engineer? On the other hand, he's made for recon and extremely good at hacking/coding within that space. So I guess he'd volunteer himself for Computing & IT?

Honestly, he's willing to do anything the humans ask of him though considering he gets trapped in sidequest hell a lot. He's not going to vote for any leaders or anything, that's not his place, and he'll stay quiet as long as things are resolved peacefully.

Jon is brand new and not particularly interested in who is boss or good at space/fighting/technology, but upon hearing that there's a librarian position he might just want to go take up residence in the library — he doesn't have formal training but he's been an Archivist for several years and he likes being left alone with books and shushing people. If someone else wants the official title they can have it!

downside to this — the library doesn't appear to be accessible at this time, so he's going to be brainstorming how to get into the locked areas — based on the ship layout his guess would be the one on floor 5. give him access to the books, please...

gamora ([personal profile] recce) and ripley will both be against voting/electing command-level leaders for the time being, but will remain in favour of teams (including a security unit). anyone taking an organiser/facilitator role (like people putting up lists and offering to help coordinate teams) will seem plenty fine to them, as they're also inclined to support a sense of order, albeit one without a rigid hierarchy!
