Organization Of FUN

My fellow FUNsters, we have been playing this new server and so far we are surviving.
But now we face a problem or so i believe, we lack the information, we lack the participation, we are left in the dark.
Yes in the past request for defense we succeeded and got a great result! I feel that we are being left unaware of the situations and
decisions. We are a Team, cooperation is needed to win and i know all of you agree and if you do agree you should know
that we deserve to know what are we cooperating with. Not caring about the ideas of following orders blindly (if they exist)
that is not fair, nor the way a team works. I've seen and heard that lack of cooperation will get some people banned if not
everyone. With this participation i believe and know many will agree that leaders should be more open with the FUNsters, Share plans, ideas,
lets us vote. FUN for all is it not?

Funsters Please Share Your Opinions. Talk and speak your mind!

Yee can you tell me whats the problem ? You wanna know every single detail ? You wanna know absolutely everything ? Would you like to make every single member of this alliance a member of leadership too ? Or would you like to join leadership ?

As of now, we're getting our members out into the Stronghold. Members are being placed into 9 and 15 croppers (mostly). Some have asked for 6 croppers next to a 9/15 cropper. Generally speaking, we're still following the same edict of only defending our Stronghold villages. The settling will take some time and most of the 9 and 15 croppers with decent oasises have been settled. Once all the decent ones are taken, we'll have to expand a bit more. I place our members (in the FUN wing), but I don't want to stick someone with a cropper with no oasises.

On the diplomatic front, we seek long term, strong alliances to confed with. For those of you who don't know, the =hope=,=hg=,=h=,=hs= wings are all ex-OMNI from last server. MNU wings are from last server as well. We're also watching NWM wings too.

While different avenues are being approached, there are some operations going. Some have mobilized for defense, some for coordinated offensive strikes. While I can't divulge all the details, our alliance is fairly active.

I think basically what Yee is trying to say is that FUNsters would like to be a part of the decisions that are made, when it comes to whether they effect the alliance. Yes we are a team and they key word here is "team" rather then being given a bunch of orders FUNsters would like to feel they are also important and there views and opinions are important. I dont think Yee was making a personal attack against leadership or anyone in leadership nor do I think Yee was trying to be in leadership (if he does thats his own personal choice and I dont see a problem with that) but I dont think the point behind this post was to be a part of leadership. I also dont think he was saying that we must know every itch and scratch thats going on, common sense tells us that due to a possibility of having spies leadership must have some secrecy, but I also believe there is information that should and can be shared with everyone. The whole point behind this is that FUN would like to feel more involved and feel that they also have a hand in making decisions that decide the future of our alliance.

I would also agree to an extent that it feels as though the game is being played for us rather then us playing the game, doing things this way just takes the FUN out of it and will cause us to fall apart.

1) There is a real lack of communication, that stands. However, I believe I'm the least to blame (me and Cursez are not the cause of that, in my opinion). If you want to know, this runs deeper than you think, and I can explain it to you in skype Yee.

2) Even if there is a lack of information flowing towards members, I think that it should be increased for just a little. Leaders can't tell all they do to members, that's just the way it is. I get no complaints, so I continue doing what I do, and when I get complaints, I gladly think seriously about them.
FUN*F members are urged to show their ideas/opinions/questions/complaints to me whenever they want (I MMed them a few times just solely about that issue).

I think there is just a small problem with lack of communication, but not as large as most alliances. Our leaders speak to us a whole lot more than they do in many other alliances. However I think perhaps if we got a newsletter once a week or every two weeks, to update us on the current affairs and issues. Although I believe many of these can be found out by checking the forum regularly and going on skype, we still can't find out everything necessary to be known from these sources.

100% with V-La on this one. and please don't be a paranoid when someone express his opinion. being aggressive won't arrange anything.

What kind of information would you like more of?
Diplomacy is necessarily secretive, even though it is important.

well some diplomacy should be secretive, but for the smaller or even closer alliances, we should know about possible NAP's so that we dont accidentally attack them.

Yes, that is a good point.

As for confeds and NAPs, what you see on the alliance page(s) is standing. If we have an unspoken NAP/Confed with another alliance, we will post it on the forums, as well as an MM to the wing(s). As for discussion about NAPS/Confeds with other alliances, please bring it up in the diplomacy threads so we can all discuss different possibilities.

Getting to the Stronghold and establish a base there currently holds priority in our alliance wings.
