Mr. DropShot 228 Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Sorry that I haven't been posting in here the last couple of days. For some reason, when I try to post in this topic on my phone, it brings up a post from forever ago, and tries to make me quote it... And I cant delete the quote box, so I am limited to posting in this topic only on my pc at the moment. Anyways, I will be getting my votes up here soon. Wanted to get it done last night, but unfortunately I did not get home till late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 2 2 2

Emmy The Boss 308 Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 Alright, guys, we've been starting to slack a little bit, all of us, but we need to change that. I know forums have been super laggy for myself (and assume it's not just me) these past few days, but it's not an excuse for not doing our jobs like Scotland said, this is inexcusable once we're up to full workload, so let's get to it. And don't forget that voting closes soon, so get to it now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Emmy The Boss 308 Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 Besides wrapping up the OTM, the first round of mock nominations for our newest staff members have closed. There will be feedback posted shortly, and I want EVERYONE to take the time to have a look, to ensure we all refresh our memories of these awards. There is however one thing that stands out, both for the OTM voting and the mock nominations; activity. When we run at full capacity in this department, daily activity is required to not get clogged, and most of us will be here many times a day. This has been made clear from the beginning, and we've all accepted it the moment we applied to this department. While we know that real life sometimes makes this impossible, and we're fine with as long as we're given notice, the activity in here is far from where we need it to be, especially with the awards system on it's way back. I'd like everyone to take a moment to think about this, and make sure that you either dedicate yourself, or come talk to me or Scotland if you think you cannot give this your time. I know I write too much, so I'll just wrap this up with wishing you all a good Thursday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Emmy The Boss 308 Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 So, feedback is up on the mock nominations, and a second round could be up any second, hour or day don't disappoint me and we're working on finalising the OTMs, they'll be announced as soon as we can, starting on the news site and then here on the forums as well with all this said and done, we've ticked off some of our goals, and should be ready to start up on some new ones. I think that it's obvious that our greatest obstacle as a team remains activity, so please let's rally together and try to change this. Remember, if you guys have any ideas to improve activity or the department in general, my and Scotland's doors are always open. Let's do this, and enjoy the weekend!

(at least if you're lucky enough not to work, unlike some of us ) Coolio. I'll check it out and keep my eyes peeled. Quote Great to do the tally, shows the person that did the nomination as well as any witnesses how many more witnesses we require. After that, it sounds more positive if we say something like "keep them coming", with the tally it becomes obsolete to mention exactly how many more witnesses we need, but once again, it's also a personal thing. Ok. Quote Here, it sounds a little... accusing, neutral words would be prefereable, something along the lines of "Do you claim KSI XXX as your mentor?" or "Is he your mentor?", simply to avoid confrontration with our witnesses. While it shouldn't happen, some witnesses will get ticked off and become argumentative, and we do our best to make sure we don't incite anything I can be kind of utilitarian and unemotional at times with the way i write. I think it rubbed off from the join area/rejoin section. Will be more open/welcoming with my writing style within AAP. Quote If you go back and count the witnesses, you've only had 4 witnesses The person that makes the nomination is not included in our witnesses, so we need to make sure we have the correct witnesses before starting to cast our votes. With a Mentor nomination, the bases we need covered is 5 witnesses, and 5 witnesses claiming the member as their mentor, not just haviing witnessed him or her mentoring someone else. Besides that, keeping things timely and neutral are the main things. As long as the members around the nominee stay active, this is a fast and simple nomination, shouldn't take more than a few days. As your first nomination, it's good work. Just small things to think about, nothing major besides the number of witnesses presented. I was unaware if the original poster would be considered one of the witnesses. Could have asked. Didn't. Don't know why, lol. Will remember for the future.

Emmy The Boss 308 Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 Good morning and happy Sunday, everyone. I was thinking, with February OTMs finished and March OTMs still some days in the future, we'd find a way to stay sharp and maybe learn some things from each other. So, I want a lively discussion, with everyone participating What is a quality nomination, in your mind? When assessing nominations to cast a vote, what are the things or criteria you use? Now, I don't want arguments or such, just want to see if we look for different or similar things, to help us continue to improve the quality of our work. Looking forward to your thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Guest Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 Hello Everybody. I was wondering if I could get one of you in a party on either the Xbox360 or the Xbox One sometime soon in order to help walk me through some things. I feel like there is a ton I could learn. But I am more of an audible learner than just reading information. Emmy, Scotland, Lafeyette? Let me know when any of you may be available. My apologies again for my lack of activity for AAP. I will definitely be a bigger help from here on out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
