Alright everyone! After the meeting today, we have finalized how our structure should be laid out! It was a bit hectic, might I add, and we might have to iron out a couple kinks here and there, but for the most part we got it all settled!
So, here's how things'll play out:
and that's should cover it! let me know if I should amend/add anything!
So, here's how things'll play out:
- Discord is where ideas and pitches, whether it be for writing, art direction, whatever, will initially be posted in discord for us to discuss collaboratively on what ideas could be potentially used for the project. Once the ideas we could potentially use are decided, we move to the forum, where we can discuss said ideas more in-depth than we can on discord, and by doing that, we can reach a final conclusion of what gets in and what doesn't.
- Private chats should be used by the leaders of the respective teams (writers, designers, artists, etc) to plan specific goals and structures, coordinate who should be working on what, and anything else of the like. Since each team leader will likely have different ways of doing things, the way each team is run will be at their discretion. Make sure if any kind of discussion or idea forming happens in the private chat just by happenstance, let the others know what is going on, or let me know so I can tell everyone.
- More on team leads, they have specific powers. Team leads are allowed to assign roles to those who don't have them, as well as remove them if they see it fit (please try to do it without warning). They are also allowed to blacklist a member from their team so they can't contribute in that area within reason. TEAM LEADS, PLEASE LET THE PROJECT LEAD KNOW IF YOU ARE MAKING SUCH A DECISION. If we agree on it, then the blacklisting will ensue.
- Speaking of blacklisting, you are able appeal to anyone involved in the reason why you are blacklisted to see if it can be lifted. We don't want to spread any punishment without having forgiveness.
- Please make sure your name on discord matches the name on the forum. Things'll get very confusing if you don't, we won't know who you are lol.
- Those who are not active in discord OR on the forum for one week without giving anyone a clear reason for their absence will be given a warning about getting their role revoked. The week after, the role will be removed. If a month has gone by and they still haven't responded or contributed, they will be removed from the project entirely. The decision of who should receive any of the three aforementioned are the team leaders, as they are coordinating with everyone within their group. Let the project lead know if a role or if someone entirely needs to be taken care of.
- Roles are just what a person's main focus should be in. While the ideas of multiple roles could work, it can get confusing. So instead, if there is someone that can be useful in another area have someone from the team in question contact them through PM on discord (it doesn't necessarily have to be the team leader). For example, if there is an artist that thinks they could assist in writing a certain prompt, the writers would contact that person and would approve that. This way we can have multiple people contributing to different things and no talent doesn't get wasted, while everyone can still focus most of their attention on one thing.
- EVERYONE SHOULD SPEAK THEIR MIND ON EVERYTHING! This is the core foundation of teamwork. whether it's on the forum or in discord, if agree with something, say you do! If you don't, say you don't and why! You think something can be changed, say how! There is no such thing as a stupid question or suggestion. To make this work we all need to work together as a team. We are full of extremely talented and dedicated people that want this project to succeed. It's up to us to work together hand in hand to see this project get somewhere, and I believe we can.
- freejusticehere needs to finish the battle theme
and that's should cover it! let me know if I should amend/add anything!
