I have a rather large problem. Out of the eight members of my crew only three are active. And one of them has only just began to post again. I am not in any way suggesting that my crew is sub-standard, because they are not, but our captain has not been active for about two weeks, if you do not count his short post of, 'sorry I havn't been on lately, won't happen again', then him dissapearing again. So, I have tried to contact those members that have gone AWAL, but to no avail. WHat needs to be done?
-
I have the same problem a few of members of the Evigilos are inative too maybe wee need to clear out some inactives
-
I think this is a problem we're going to face until launch, which is why Tbone initiated the AAO community. It's low requisite game that provides an environment of leadership and teamwork, cornerstones to FA's progress in MxO.
Being the end of the school year, I'd hesitate to give anyone the boot just yet. But if members, especially captains, can't participate once private universities let out for summer then I question their dedication once the game goes lives.
Perception is reality, and if the membership of a certain ship perceives their captain as always off, then there IS a problem; but again, we should wait.
-
As far as Enoc is concerned, he's given us a very good reason for why he has not been as active as he should be lately. His computer has broken down, and he's decided to do the responsible thing of stepping down and letting Tbone choose another captain for the Evigilos. That I commend him for, as he is only looking out for our best interest.
I think if we still have a serious number of inactives post-beta and even towards the end of the summer as we near the MxO release, then we should look into the problem. But until then, with schools ending and such, I don't think it would be entirely fair to just give people the boot for taking care of their priorities.
-
I am not asking for Tbone to boot people, I am merely stating that out of 8 people, only one has absented himself for the exams, all the others have just dissapeared. That is my main worry. Our forum for the formosus has been dormant for a long time becuaase there is only Oronos and myself who are regualrly on here, Erebus is there every once in a while, which is all we really reqiure of members.
-
Out of the ten people on the asperitas, only angele and i are active. Deus used to be active but i havent heard from him in a while. He mysteriously disappeared after May 18. He may have gone on a trip or something. Other than that, all the members on my ship have five posts or less and those are from when they first checked in. Perhaps someone or a group should be put in charge of contacting inactive individuals and asking why they have been inactive and if they really care about FA and our cause.
-
Maybe they're under Machine influence, trapped somewhere between the Matrix, and the Machine world. Contact the Merovingian, he and his Trainman might have the information you're looking for.
-
i think it wud be easier to just message them or something.....im sure theyre fine
-
There aren't really that high percent of our members that are regular posters..
But I bet they will be more active once the game launces. Most of my crew are posting very rarely, but I think most of them are still doing exams or whatevers. Im happy with my ship, I'm Decerto by heart :).
-
Yeah I know wat you mean....Ajax that's really weird tho - what has happened to Triplex? That is your captain right? Hmmm yeah i think the AAO is very good right now to help us like you hav esoemthing to do in the meantime until Mxo - Everybody d/l it!!!
-
I did e-mail triple x and he posted on the forums saying he was busy, so id say he's coming back, this would be a good time to inform, u guys that i will be busy doing things, so i won't be as much, thought i'll still com in every 2 days, but wont be on every day.
-
Hmmm....well still that does seem weird for a capitaino - but I guess the "real world" does ahve it's obligations. Well I hope that everything works out for him. Don't want to lose someone else.
-
Well, seeing as how I myself haven't posted in a loooong time, I can vouch that school has taken a larger chunk of my free time. And like you guys have already stated, once the schools have hit summer break and we actually have an inkling of free time, posting should increase (especially mine).
It's too bad about Enoc, too. It's rather odd, being on a ship without a captain... (waits for teh mutinies)
-
People should at least post ONE post a week. Its really not that hard, even with school. I mean with my schoolwork which is insane i manage to post multiple times every day. For people to post at least one time a week so that we know they are still here wud take maybe 5 minutes tops. They cud just come make some random post and leave. Then we would at least know that something terrible hasn't happened to them.
-
dont worry i havent posted often either but im still here trying to get my word in every once in a while... just be patient for the time being, some ppl are out on vacation since its the end of the school year while others are still doing finals... just be patient... i was one of the most active in the old forums.... maybe 4th top poster in there (no im not braggin in case any one is wondering :P) and look at me now... im gonna try to keep in touch more often... its just difficult with me procrastinating and leaving everything for the last minute... yay me.
-
heh I remember the good old days....when Lightspeed was still Lightspeed, there were like 5 people with a lot of posts and tons of people with none, and I only had 19.....ahhh, the good ol days
-
"Some things in this world Brother Iluvatar will never change. Some things do change."
-
Heh. Nice one.
-
Although the focus of this thread has changed slightly, there is still a problem of vast amounts of inactive members. I do recall that any members who went AWAL for a certain time would be sent a message by Tbone or contacted or something telling them that they had a certain amount of days to either absent themselves or begin posting again. I have a feeling that this has not happened.
-
..
-
We don't need to worry. When beta goes up things will start moving. I'm sure Tbone will clear out and fix things up, I think he said that somewhere.
For the time being we have to wait. Remember, it's still early days yet. By the time the game comes out I'm sure we will know what members have grew strong and which have fell.
Besides the ships are going to stay the way they are for the time being untill we get a better picture and can decide with better info.
-
I know personally I try to visit the site at least once a day, yet I don't post everytime I look around. And don't worry about crews right now, they are only nessacery to form at least a little organization pre-launch. Once beta comes out and more information is uncovered, we'll be able to restructure, possibily putting the more active members together on a ship, or whatever. Right now, there really isn't much to do, so the lack of posts does not make me feel that we're falling apart or anything. When there are things to really get excited about, the majority of members will be back.
Remember, even Tbone hasn't been as active as usual lately, once beta's up, he'll be around to lead more directly.
-
We aren't talking about people being inactive lately, we are talking about people who checked in and then we never heard from them again. I agree, people will probably become more active once beta starts and everything gets moving.
-
Cepus just isn't worried because the ELECTUS'S MILKSHAKE BRINGS ALL YALLS TO THE YARD!! Lol sorry but by me being on the electus crew - I'm a bit biased about which ship kicks ass the most.
- Oh and jsut so you know, The Electus kicks ass the most. :D
-
Instead of pointing out the problem. Let us try to focus on a creative way to bring everyone together. Any ideas?
-
hmmmmmmmmmmmm.........well we could all work together to stop pollution! CAPTAIN PLANET! HE'S OUR HERO! GONNA TAKE POLLUTION DOWN TO ZERO! Earth! Wind! Fire! Water! Heart!..............................CAPTAIN PLANET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S. likwidtek ur sig is very suggestive.
-Oh and just so you know, The Asperitas is infinity times more kickass than The Electus.
-
hahahaha. suggestive huh? Howso?
I loved captain planet.
-
Just 'cause someone brought it up...
By your powers combined... (http://www.queenofwands.net/d/20031208.html)

we should find something more mmorpgish that could be more appealing to teamwork rather than things like fps's and such... i know Tbone is trying to get us into teamwork with Americas Army, and i like it as much as the next guy, but we need something more in tune with MxO. we should look for appealing mmo's that deal with lots of teamwork rather than just go out and bash stuff. i know thats almost asking for a miracle but we can at least look.... i have been looking as of late myself. there is 2 of em that i have found, Knights Online and Dark Era i think the other one was called.... personally the only one that appealed to me was Knights online but eroz said its the typical fantasy mmo kinda like lineage. Frankly i found lineage boring, not much teamwork, so guys just look around and hopefully... we will find.
-
remember, we need mmo's that are free. hopefully nexus will become free now that theyve stopped updating it...
(btw Nexus is the first mmo ever. It is the reason why MxO is coming to us. Pay your respects to this amazingly innovative game, even though today it kinda sucks)
-
I think you should just give them time until the game itself starts, then they'll be more active.
-
IDK why Forman but I REALLY like your sig - I guess it's just the sorta....out of focus way it's drawn....it's really great.
