Train-wide meeting on 5th December!

[blitzcheer]

Hey everyone! As some of you may have heard, or seen in the IC Network Post here, a train-wide meeting has been put out to discuss future organisation of both train-related issues and missions. While Roland Crane is involved and a Team Leader for Purple, this is mainly coming from your everyday passengers wanting to push for a community effort (mainly, Senku, Gen, Tidus, and Roland), to give feedback to current ongoing operations, and basically, all that good stuff.

While the current structure of the Council and Team Leads may be spoken on, nothing is enforceable unless, of course, there’s a large agreement. We’re hoping that some good discussions and ideas can come from this, and if necessary, I’ll try and put together an outline of what came up after the log has winded down.

The log for this will be going up OOCly on the 5th of December, ICly Day 18 of Imagination.

Just for an idea of some points that will be addressed, here’s a bullet point (HOWEVER, characters are free to bring up their own concerns! Please do!!):

• Missions: Addressing necessary roles (leads, healers, suppliers, etc), means of organising, ways individuals can help, communication, obtaining supplies, any other thoughts; the function of Black Squad
• Supplies: Supplies that can be crafted, that can be useful on and off missions; foods, armour, weaponry that can be ordered, and other possible items that will be useful to stock on
• Train Life: Organising documentation of events on train and on mission, putting together a guide for Team Leads and Council and the goal of their roles, groups, etc; what can be bought, added; what can we do to help with life on the train?

This is just a quick outline. For an idea of how the post may look, a good idea is the past Purple Mixer. If your character has a topic they want to address, stick a header in the comment to make it easier to catch!

If you have any questions or such, please let us know! :)

I'd actually planned to do a network post re: asking if people would be interested in armor, after platform. It came up in a thread between Trunks and Piccolo (besides the idea of trying to buy some senzu beans) ICly. Should I rope that into meeting instead?

How Eva'll react to things will depend on the day, but, thoughts wise at least-

If the idea comes up, Eva's gonna be against dismantling the current structure of the Council and Leads. She's likely to bring up that the Council needs an internal leader and a moderator though, with the internal leader preferably the one who's been on the train longest, and that the internal leader and moderate are not the same person and the leader's role mostly ceremonial unless they need a spokesperson for the train.

Mission wise- all of those are very good points and she agrees that the Team Leads need to do more. She will bring up the idea of team surveys to figure out who can do what, which IIRC Orange Team's done twice already.

Eva also has Thoughts on Enna's attempt to grab leadership, which reminds her far too much of Tony Stark, so that'll be informing her re that if it comes up.

Supplies wise, Eva'll offer to try and get more healing type items from her world, though she's also very keen to get the rest of her main team so what happened in the last mission doesn't happen again. OOCly, I have no idea if we have a list of what's in the Medical and Triage carriages, and if not, we should make one.


Train Life wise, Eva has the Welcome Guide she maintains and updates as needed, and to various people she's brought up or will bring up the idea of a Journal for everyone to record everything they know about well, everything re the Train so far, because she's pretty sure those books in the Libary are biased. She thinks there was an effort to document missions but she's not sure of what happened or what happened to it.

Kaiba wants to expand tech lessons. They clearly need more help there, but agreed that healing is the most critical. He'd also like a lab so he can build more tech-y defenses as they slowly accumulate supplies, and will keep pestering the train on that point.

As far as the Council...he was on the old one and would ICly have feelings about it if people were sick of him, but OOCly I'm fine with a reset, it's been long enough! The old voting system mostly worked in his opinion.

Sera brought this up on the ICP recently, but she really wants more people to learn how to defend themselves in a fight. Her concern is that not everyone can do that currently and missions can very easily and unexpectedly go bad. (Her big examples of missions taking a turn for the worse being the July mission/Terra and of course this recent one.)

White/Black Squad Sign-Ups

[blitzcheer]

Feel free to bring up your character here for signing up on either team.

Character Name:
Black, White, or both?:

Note: Unless the decision is changed, anyone who can operate under both will get a White Band. It's more important to know who a healer is on sight, is the reasoning.

Sign-ups so far: Senku (White), Galo (White), Mami (White), Devero (White), Hikaru (Black), Ken and Leafmon!!! (Black), Eight (Black), Curufin (Black), Inigo (Black), Thorne (White/Both), Lea (Black), Xion (White)

Apologies if I missed your character!
