Welcome to the second weekly update from the NA Community Representative.
As I have explained at length, my primary goal over the next few months is to engage the community as frequently as possible and to affect as much meaningful change as possible to its collective benefit. This thread is a logical extension of that goal.
Here, I will post weekly updates pertaining to the tasks I am currently undertaking in the role of Community Rep. I encourage you all to discuss any and all progress and decisions being made, voicing any concerns, criticisms, and/or suggestions you may have. I intend to keep everyone up to date on all matters.
Update 2
Community Discussion
Its been about 2 weeks since the result of the runoff election was revealed on the 28th of March. Over the last week, constructive discussion on the "State of the Competitive Community" thread I started last week has yielded (thanks to the commitment and effort of several individuals) several promising ideas, particularly those for new events. Concrete plans are currently being discussed and put into place to make these events a reality.
These events include:
- A public NA_1 Linebattle
- A public conquest event - brought to you by Siwi
- A casual 1v1 group/league - WIP brought to you by yours truly
Forum Rule ReformRecall from the last update:
This week, I have also put into motion my plan to create a report on suggested changes/reforms to the forum rules. The plan, as it stands, involves going over forum rules/policies with a small group gathered from around the community, then passing on any suggestions yielded to the community at large for general discussion before final organization into a cohesive report.
The group has essentially been finalized - if you were contacted and have not replied or still would like to be a part of it, contact me via PM and I will consider it.
The discussion will begin at some point in the next week.
NA Regiment Leaders' GroupOn the advice of Becker and other considerations (namely the incident with the NANWL/NANANWL, which I must add - to their credit - was resolved rather successfully in the end thanks to the members involved) I have decided to put together a group of NA regiment leaders. This group is intended to serve the dual purpose of:
A) Resolving disputes/incidents as they occur
B) Discussing issues surrounding the NA community
If you are a leader and have not yet been added to the Steam group, add Junedragon on Steam. Also check your invites first to make sure you haven't missed it.
If you are a leader and are unwilling or unable (time constraints, etc.) to participate, you may pick someone in your regiment to represent it on your behalf. Additionally, leaders may choose to add 1 other person from their regiment (eg. your second-in-command) to the group). They will not have the same role as leaders but will be able to participate.
That's pretty much it for now. Look out for new surveys, discussions, and the likes as I continue in my attempts to engage the collective community toward the improvement of its current state.
