Newbie Alert Committee?
UPDATE: IC introduction/signups have been posted!
Hello friends! Thalia here, hoping to maybe set up some long-term group plotting if anyone is interested!
The details are explained in this thread with Codi and Karen, primarily addressing Karen's third point in her list. The idea is to organize some kind of IC new person welcome committee, involving (hopefully!) at least one person from each crew to check in and keep track of crew capacity, missing members, locations, needs and conflicts, and the like--which can then be posted at the beginning of each intro period to inform newbies about what's going on and where to go from Empieza! Here's a basic rundown of what this group could do (although it doesn't have to perform all of these functions, and is not guaranteed to actually do any of the ones agreed on):
If there are enough people who think their characters would be interested in helping run this group, Codi will make an official organization post regarding this dated to January 2nd. Depending on how quickly people respond to this, it may be backdated until we reach some kind of critical mass (although the option to sign up is always open until stated otherwise!). Codi will want to lead this because she is kind of a control freak. Should be fun!
Several Important Notes:
First, as the post Karen made addresses, there are obviously going to be characters that will not approve of this, either because they don't like being told what to do or they're paranoid of the others or because they don't check the journals often or whatever. This is great! Direct sabotage, dissension amongst the ranks, spies, I look forward to all of that happening because it would be awesome to play out. If your character(s) will oppose this, do not fret!
Second, I am aware that all of these points are mostly taken care of OOCly through the efforts of our lovely mods, and I am in no way trying to challenge their methods of organization. This is an IC group--think of it as a retelling of things that are worked out OOCly, but have so far been handwaved as coincidence or similar in-game. If the actions of this group can give muns an excuse to organize meetings or crew compositions OOCly, then all the better! It is just another option added to the many options that we already have available to us, all of which have been working very well.
Anywho--questions have their own thread within, signups and opposition can make their own top-level threads if you'd like. If you want to contact me directly, the best way is through![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)

Here's a basic rundown of what this group could do (although it doesn't have to perform all of these functions, and is not guaranteed to actually do any of the ones agreed on):
- Catalog all crews and their current capacities, including willingness to take in recruits and keeping track of missing shipmates;
- Observe current locations of crews, to better coordinate meetings or missions (or espionage hurhur);
- Make sure at least one experienced crew is stationed on Empieza during processing time to avoid another Sasuke
gomen Sasuke, which can be decided via rotation or vote or something; - Gather all of the above data into a single entry made at the beginning of processing time to keep new people informed, so that they don't have to ask Dog instead;
- Come up with questions for Dog each week, which address the concerns of all parties in as fair a fashion as a group of kidnapped pirates can muster.

So far the only thing the he might not be up for is the crew location bit.
He does think dog likely needs to expand the IC welcome message.

Publicly giving out crew locations would definitely be a point of contention, I've no doubt about that...far too easy to exploit. Do you think anyone would get behind privately discussing crew locations within the group in case of emergency?

Kodai thinks we need some sort of pamphlet to brief people on this place. I mean he's spent the month mopeing for nothing!
