I just want to basically get everyone up to speed and on the same page with this minor announcement. As it stands, we'll be having an official vote on defining the RPC starting on Sunday. There so far has been minimal input on the proposal I posted so I'm assuming there aren't a ton of major objections or modification requests. Regardless, I'll leave it open for discussion and examination until Sunday just in case. The voting, once opened, will extend for 7 days to give every coalition member a chance to cast their vote. I'm -assuming- it will pass but if it doesn't, we'll just redraft it, rediscuss it, and try again. So voting will start on the 7th and end on the 14th.
Assuming the RPC aproves it, I'll promptly get it up on the main site probably immediately after the voting closes. The plan is then to go public on the following day (15th). What does that mean? First, it means all the ads you see here and on the main site will be gone. Second, it means that we'll start getting (hopefully) flooded with new coalition members and supporters. And third, it means we'll probably become even -more- active. This is especially true since the assembly room will be unlocked. So my question is, is anybody opposed to us going public on the 15th? Do you think it's too soon or just bad timing in general? I do know it's the day after Valentine's Day but I would assume that wouldn't be a major factor unless you think the entire gaming community will be on weekend cruises or something xD. Personally, I was hoping SE would update the site one more time beforehand in order to increase enthusiasm and thus increase the number of people coming in. And they still could give us an update this week or next week. However, they may wait until Vana'Fest at the end of the month.
When we do go public, I plan to post on Zam, Core, and Eorzeapedia. Maybe KillingIfrit too. If there are any other sites we could utilize, please post them here. I don't have accounts on any other public gaming sites and would rather not make one just to plug our site/forums. Thus, people can speak up if they have an active account on any other sites and hopefully they can advertise us themselves.
So to sum it, we're scheduled to open the floodgates on the 15th unless there are major objections. And we need to coordinate where exactly to go and who to target.
