I figured that'd help out a lot. :) I'll have to get with you all after these OTMs are done and talk about the Divisional OTMs I have planned out. I'm going to post something in the department head area to start out, and then I'll get things started up in here. I'm excited to get this going, I really am.

I can't wait to see this implemented.

Okay guys, I'm taking a step back from the website for a couple of days. There is a lot of personal stuff going on that is clouding my mind and ruining my focus, and I need to do some thinking about some stuff. Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere, I just need to get some things situated. Love you guys. <3

That's fine man. I wish you the best of luck! Though I am just another person, I like hearing about things, and you never know, I'm usually pretty good at helping people out with a thing or two. Hope it all goes well!

I feel like no one is posting up nominations this month. I hope they start rolling in near the end, I think that's what is going to happen. Everyone I've been meeting on xbox I've been barking AAP Noms lol.

Yeah just trying to encourage forum activity and AAP being apart of that

Definitely. I keep trying to advertise the AAP OTM's on other divisions, it works a little. Time is running out :/

Thats what happens when you do two months back to back consecutively, we knocked out june and july in the same calendar month, give it a couple weeks when we get back on schedule and Doc's talk with the leaders tonight and things will be back on the up and up.

I'm so excited that AAP will be working with the News Team now!!! It should be great for both departments. 

Are you going to restart the interviews with members of the month and such?

I wasn't able to get in with the leaders tonight because I've been packing and getting ready for AT. I'm going to have to get to them next week, as for us, we're going to deliberate as usual and get these OTMs done and out of the way. 

I want to note a couple of things though.

HD - I saw almost no activity from them. Mystique and Pantsir, that's your division. I know there are some issues in there that I don't want to state here, and they're not as forums active as you'd like them to be, I still want to see more from you all. Especially if we're going to implement the Divisional OTMs soon.

TW - Pinky, your internet has been out, so I understand you not being able to push much, that and you have news team, but try to get your guys involved as much as you can. I only saw one, maybe two nominations from your division, so be sure to get on top of that.

FG - Static, I know you have quite a few active people on the forums within your div. Make sure they're knowledgeable about the AAP and how to partake in the OTMs. I'm surprised I don't see Fallen or any of the other leadership pushing this either. 


Rest of the divisions that didn't participate - There's a lot of them, and I mean a lot. This has to change. Literally 6 months ago, we had almost 100 replies in a single topic for the OTMs, now we can't get Poop. We need to get these guys going, and I'm open for ideas on this. It's one thing when we have Poop nominations and everything, and can't count them; but when we have divisions that refuse to use the department for whatever reasons they have and not give other members recognition for their works, that's when I become pissed off and ready to put them on blast. 

 

Basically, let's get these divs going in here. AAP activity or bust.

I am disappointed in my division when it comes to forum activity. I pushed and encourage members to partake in AAP but it just seems like they dont give a rats ass about the forums period. For the few that do get on the forums, i really dont see why they didnt post in the OTM...... Idk

This may seem farfetched, but has any of the Leaders tossed around the idea of not giving out "Personal Acheivment" Awards (ex: Member Assistance, GamerScore, Trainer, Good Karma, etc.) unless their division or even squad has been active with AAP OTM's?

 

Everyone has no problem taking the time to nominate "John" and "Jane" for "Good Karma" but can't even take the time to thoroughly nominate a derserving memeber in there divison/squad for OTM's. And this doesn't have to be drastic or anything, but lets say (hypothetically) "inK wants to nominate Doc for Member Assistance. But the Design Team hasn't been actively participating in OTM's. Well until inK and the Design can partake in OTM's, personal nominations wont happen" A type of "probation" or "AAP suspension", something similar along those lines.

 

Granted, I'm not in a squad/division. So I don't know the type "reaction" or "backlash" or even the mentality towards AAP better than other Clan OP team members (Static, Pantsir). But if Divisional: OTM's are in the near future then "tough love" may be something we have to impose on certain divisions.

 

And maybe this idea can give rise to another possible solution but this just a thought :)

Well they are a few reactions that can come about that. What i see most though is that if an award is denied due to inactivity of forums then said members will be irritated with the aap program and possibly no longer want anything to do with it.

But i do see where you are coming from. Its easy to obtain the personal achievement awards but more challenging to obtain OTM, its why members take the easy route to obtain awards

The concept has it's pros and cons. It's a big change. Either people wouldn't care because some divisions don't give two craps about the forums, or people will be furious. It's probably not the best change to bring upon people, but I do see where you're coming from.

I understand where you're coming from with the activity and everything, but we don't want to put another hinderance on someone being recognized for what they've done in the community, web ops or clan ops. The mission of the Awards and Achievements Program is to ensure that members are properly recognized and awarded for their actions in KSI. As for the DotMs, we're going to buckle down as soon as I get off of my AT orders, and I'm not working 12 hours every day. Thanks for the input, I really like ideas and that will go a far way in my book. Keep 'em coming. :)

Yeah, I got it taken care of tonight. Like I said, I've been so busy, and I only have about 3 hours every night before I have to go to sleep and do it all again. Glad that AT is a few days away from being over.

Hey you've been doing an awesome job. Thanks for not ditching us lol.

 

All this talk about Divisional OTM's is really exciting! I can't wait to see what happens, who gets assigned where and whatnot.  :)
