    Kitton got a reaction from Serpentine in Previous Salt - just some clearance   
    Hello to all,
     In light of recent events I feel it necessary to address my organization as of now to clarify some unclear perceptions. Obviously there was a lot of commotion recently but not many seem to realise that the previous UL/TVR were not all alts and it was greatly unfair to those who were genuine. I have founded my Organization "Imperii Purpurae" to facilitate to those who's org(s) have been abolished, to give them somewhere to go where there are similar people in the same situation. There seemed to be a bit of confusion with my intentions - In no way is Imperii Purpurae a remake of any previous organization(s), The only reason that it was vaguely associated with UL was to try and band those members together under familiar members/colleges and give them a chance to help found anew, without the constraints of the Slaxx or the branding from the the MM. Under no circumstances are any former UL/TVR members to feel pressured or obligated to join Imperii Purpurae. As most orgs have already been well established I thought this would be the perfect time to found mine, It'll give a chance to any people who want to form governments, attain high positions and figuratively lead a new force of people as  the chances of them attaining such positions in other large orgs so close to Beta would almost be a mute point. We will be structured very differently from the previous TVR/UL and all of our members will be given opportunities to join the the odyssey of forming new systems, structures and relationships. I don't mean to say that anyone couldn't achieve these things in other orgs but as we are new there is a lot of work to be done and we are running a very open 'government' at the moment as we are taking all suggestions and everyone is encouraged to come with something new to implement. 
     We will be likely to ally with as many other orgs as possible; we are really considering multiple options, primarily Cinderfall, Elderich, Obsido Accords, DUA and the Solar Empire. We also require more members to fill out these administrative/diplomatic positions so we can begin functioning well before Alpha goes live.
     
    Best of luck to everyone who was caught up in that mess and my apologise to any confusion caused.

    It sounds like a good idea, similar to what I did, but this should have probably been posted in Arkship Pub since you are advertising your org.

    Pre-Alpha stage:
    Organizations created here are a provisional step towards building your organizations in-game.
    As the game is in development the features and systems in place will evolve and are subject to change over time. Once the game launches the organizations, the members and the information held here will be synchronised with the game world. The organization structure will be composed of Members and Legates with different roles and/or responsibilities.

    A “Legate” status is currently NOT reversible (it is planned to be reversible at some point though), so choose your legates wisely! What you do here matters, so be careful what you promise!

    Kitton reacted to NQ-Nyzaltar in Organization management & Exceptional NQ Interventions   
    Hi everyone.
     
    Until now, we couldn’t manually manage (remove/promote) Legates in an organization easily on the administration side.
    Since Yesterday, we are able to use a feature simplifying considerably the process. 
     
    As we already mentioned many times in the past, we (Novaquark) don’t want to involve ourselves in the management of organizations created by players. However, we are also aware that the current (and temporary) state of the management system contains obvious flaws. You know it. We know it. As this is still “work in progress”, we hoped that organizations creators will be reasonable enough to avoid abusing the well-known flaws of the system and would wait that all the rules are implemented before trying to sabotage other organizations. 
     
    So we are going to state the obvious here:
    It’s ok to “play a bad guy” and use dirty tricks once all the rules are implemented. However, it’s absolutely not ok to start exploiting the flaws of a work in progress system: this is not “playing a bad guy”, this is just toxic behavior and trying to gain an advantage while not playing by the rules.
     
    That’s why - despite our will of non-involvement - we will make exceptions until the full implementation of the RDMS (Rights & Duties Management System) for the Organizations.
     
    Why did we decide to intervene? 
    Two reasons:
    1) In the current state, a Legate has much more power than in the final system, due to the minimalistic mechanisms temporarily in place. If in the current system, any Legate has the right to promote a member to Legate status by himself alone, in the final system the default rights will be completely different: promoting a legate will be done only with a vote by majority rule, or the right to promote someone will be given to specific persons and not every Legate.
    2) In the current state, a Legate cannot be demoted by any mean (even by the creator of an organization). In the final system, default configurations will allow to demote a Legate with a vote by majority rule. A Legate could also be demoted by specific persons who have been given the right (most probably by the Organization founder) to do so.
     
    How is this going to work?
    Each organization is going to have one "wild card": if there is a problem with the Legates in an Organization, you can contact the support team at support@novaquark. However, keep in mind we (Novaquark) reserve the right to intervene (or not) on a case by case basis. 
     
    Example of a case where we will intervene:
    Some Legate using the flaw of the current temporary system to vandalize (or generate troubles in) an organization.
     
    Example of a case where we won’t intervene:
    Two organizations have merged in one, and now both creators of previous organizations want to mutually exclude each other from the organization. In this kind of case, we won’t remove anyone. We won’t favorize one creator above another. However, we will do our best to help finding a satisfying solution for both parties.
     
    As a global reminder:
    If someone finds a loophole in the rules in place (that may happen), and this loophole is used to generate trouble and spread a toxic behavior, we won’t stay idle watching the situation deteriorating. 
     
    Best Regards,
    Nyzaltar.

    Todays charts show a rend in the daily growth, five new members have joined the organizations in the top ten for now three days in a row. 
    Most of these said members are join Terran Union - they seem to have grabbed on average two to three of these five per day. 
     
    This being said, we are once again going into a slower development period over Christmas time/New Years time where a lot of this will be slowing down, I would not be surprised at all if the trends went back to being extremely low growth rate or even no growth rate. 
     
    Anyway, before I ramble on, enjoy your day/night!
    And as per usual, charts are below!

    Hi there ladies and gentlemen, sorry for the spam of posts here, but as you may know I had a little catch up to do. 
    If I'm not posting, I am saving the data, ready to be posted! However, as you may notice, my new 'Unique Member' chart line has had some teething issues. 
    This is because the data I can't exactly save with having my sheets with me, the other data, I can! I'm trying to decide a way around this, but unfortunately it has just been a rather busy and weird time for me! I am trying my hardest to keep this up to data and I am hoping to keep posting daily again, even through Christmas and new years!
     
    As drunk of a posting that may be. 
     
    In the terms of actual data though, we've seen a great spike in the now named 'Galactic Commonwealth', formerly 'Alliance Of Free Worlds'. This is good, showing that a simple name buff and member acceptance can really change things. 
    As for other groups, the growth has been rather steady, making for an easy flowing time.
    There is only one day where there was no growth and a negative amount for a total, which is good, meaning growth has been taken from a rather neutral amount to a good healthy amount once again. 
     
    As for some extra stats! 
    This past month (November), there were 161 new members to organizations (These are not unique! These include people crossing into multiple organizations).

    On average, there was 5.3 members joining organizations per day. 
    The highest average growth goes to Terran Union, with 1.8 members per day. 
    Most other organizations growth averaged 0.5 members per day to 1.2 members per day. 
     
    The forums hit 4,000+ Members on the 3rd, making the community the largest it has been so far.
     
    The forums had an average user join count in November of 17 per day. 
    The average post count in November was 69 per day!
    The total post count for November was 2058.
    The total community growth for November was 505 members (On the forums alone).
     
    I am hoping to keep the data completely up to date as from now!
    So I hope you guys keep reading and stay as interested in it as I am, this post has over 4,000 views and I really appreciate the people who have said nice things to me, encouraged me, etc! 
     
    Anyway, 
    as promised, todays charts are below!

    Space.  Contrary to popular belief back on Earth, stars do not move as you travel through space. Well they do, but the changes are imperceptible to the naked eye. And they don’t twinkle. Everyone I cared about I left back on Earth. Now Earth is destroyed, by some nova star and them along with it. Staring out into the void echos the void inside me. It is the loneliest I have ever felt. And then a space whale drifts by.   --------------------------------------

    A Military Alliance
     
     
    The universe is a treacherous place. We at the Federation hold the belief that military strength and solidarity are critical to our members’ interests in the face of those who seek to violate them. Our Non-Aggression Pact and military cooperation are only part of Aeonian’s firm dedication to security.
     
     
     
     
     
    An Economic Syndicate
     
     
    Operating an advanced and wide-reaching network of markets across the universe, the Aeonian Federation is a key player in the galactic economy. With additional banking and investment options available to members, the Federation unlocks the path to prosperity and financial security.
     
     
     
     
     
    A Visionary Pioneer
     
     
    As a progressive, forward-thinking organization, the Aeonian Federation is always striving to do what has never been done before. We challenge the traditional “guild alliance” paradigm and emphasize the importance of member and organization sovereignty. We push the technical limits of what Dual Universe represents, undertaking bold enterprises such as Project Emberstone. Rest assured: there’s no such thing as “boring” at the Federation.
     
     
     
     
     
    A Community and Family
     
     
    The Federation isn’t the typical dictatorship guild. Although we may appear large, we’re also a tight-knit family dedicated to player cohesion. With our revolutionary Nexus hubs (the ultimate social network) and frequent game nights, the Aeonian Federation offers the best of both worlds: the friendship of a small community and the security of a large, established organization.
     
     
     
     
     
    •••The Administration•••
     
     
     
     
     
    In order to keep AFED running smoothly and its members happy and safe, the Syndicate employs a variety of structural techniques and facilities to ensure the integrity and continued existence of the Federation.

    It isn't premature at all, because we certainly need the time to develop everything, set up our structures, create the the tools we need, until the game launches. The Terran Union is no less ambitious than Dual Universe itself. What we want to create is something that is normally provided by the developers of a game, a nation within the game.
     
    When the devs implent these nations, they normally provide services to the players so that they can do what they want to do. But Dual Universe won't have this kind of dev created nations, so the TU is there to take this place, but because it isn't supported by the devs and the game mechanics we need not only to plan the services we want to provide, but also the means to be able to provide this services and to support our structure. This means a lot of bureaucracy and this needs a lot of planning. Even with our most optimistic estimations currently we come at a needed member count of 1000, alone to run the complete government. Not to mention the time that we will need to set everything up and get running.
