Dear Membership!
This thread made because the events of the past few days.
Communication is the most important foundation-stone of Frontier Fleet!
We are humans /of course just you, I am an arrogant vulcan :-)/. We have a real life (RL) with all its joy and sorrow. We do our best but this RL issue infiltrate here, to our happy place. We build a community. All of us made and make errors /especially me/. We are part of an enlighted group: United Federation of Planets. We have to resolve our problems here. Talking about our future, discussing problems etc.
Not all of our expectation are described, we don't want to make rule for everything.
It is pity, but recurring problem is some of us don't maintain communication! Huff and leave. We don't want to lose anyone. Especially because of lack of communication.
As Frontier's XO my responsibility to keep things running and maintain the order. Yes, sometimes I am harsh like a drill sergeant because it's associated with my work. But with a logical discussion /I am a vulcan after all/ you can convience me.
I want to share with you some of my suggestion about general communication:
- not all of us a native english speaker, it is really easy being lost in translation
- we mainly using chat application /yes we have RaidCall too/ for communication. But sentences give only 20% of communication. 60% is body language and 15% is tone but in chat they are not available. Human brain is a difficult organ /yours, not mine. I am a vulcan you know/. If brain get only sentences substitute lack of body language and tone something it have. Our own mood. In this way an innocent and rightful question sounds like an insult.
- if you feel you are in a troubled situation: ask back, explain what you feel etc, solve the problem!
- all of us have the right to make mistakes, esspecially staff who work more than a common member, therefore more fustrated
Chat situations
We are primaly a role playing (RP) fleet, but we have non RP members /as I am, you know, I am a vulcan, I don't acting, it is not logical/ too. We want to keep balance between these two groups. We want these two groups be merged as Frontier Fleet.
We don't use and don'want to use different channels for RP and non-RP. I ask all of you if a RP chat in progress any of our public chat channels /Fleet, -Frontier-, Local/ don't start a non-RP discussion in it. we can start as many different chat channel though like -Frontier- if active chat traffic growth high enough.
Staff meeting is an open platform. Everyone can participate. Frontier Fleet is yours too. We are open for any suggestions!
Live Long and Prosper!
