What is the primary server you play on?
I play on the Zeus server.
How have you contributed to the community? Give examples.
I have played the game for going on almost three years now. I started out in AK (Alpha Knights) and learned from some of the trailblazers of TSO. Players like Wallstreet, emahs2, V4, Sargon and other top players who helped forge the game to what we know it as today. Players who cared the path the game would take and who cared about each other. Over my time playing the game, I developed a similar mentality for the game as was taught to me by these giants of the game. When I am able, I always try to help all players by sharing my knowledge of the game. Also, I have helped many people (in guild and out) with resources, buffs, and more so they can better enjoy the game as they strive to reach their next level. I try to be a peace maker when other players have differences or got into disputes. When the bully’s in the game rear their ugly heads, I try to defuse the situation as best I can. Most times it meant taking the person being bullied to whisper to talk and try to keep them from quitting the game. Over a year ago, I started a guild for those that wanted to have fun and play with friends who truly care.
What is the first thing you want to do as a CL?
After introducing myself to the community, I would let all know that I am there to help, serve and be a facilitator (if the situation calls for it) for them. Confusion is one of the biggest problems in the game. It creates disharmony and friction. A CL that can communicate to all (not just some or to their buddies/cliche) will be a tremendous asset to the game. I believe that I will be that kind of asset for TSO.
What is the community’s top requested feature for TSO?
There are many new features that I have heard discussed. One that I hear mentioned most is if BB could add a slider feature for everything we train, make, mine, sell, find and loot while making everything stackable in all storage areas (including the Star). Saves, time, space and clicks and makes players happier.
Do you have any ideas to improve the community? (events,contests, etc.)
Communication, communication, communication. This being said, a couple thoughts. A weekly BB newspaper (maybe on every Sunday), filled with facts, events and upcoming attractions. It could be posted on the sign in page and/or sent to guild leaders to send out to all members. Town Hall meetings, at least 2x a month held in global room(s) or the forum with a high lvl Mod or developer (or both). An 800 number that players can call for weekly info (don’t know if this would be cost effective but it’s a thought). Improve the mail system, make it user friendly for all. The current mail system barely gets mail out to guild members, it cannot be archived and is rarely used to mail someone outside your guild. Keep looking for any vehicle to communicate information that keeps the players updated, satisfied and in the loop of the current and future direction of the game.
What has prepared you to be a community leader for the Settlers Online?
I have played and enjoyed the game since October, 2011. I have been taught by some of the best in the game and always pass that knowledge (new and old) along to all. I have been a guild founder/leader since September, 2012 and a long with help from my officers run a friendly, helpful and enjoyable guild. As a retired police officer, I have been trained to be “thick skinned”, to think quickly, to process information in a precise clear manner and to serve the community. Qualities that you never lose and that are permanently ingrained in your being. I have a current working Skype account and have the legal capacity to sign a non-disclosure agreement. I have never had any infractions on my account and because I am retired and a guild leader, I play the game several hours a day. Last but certainly not least, I care about TSO and all who play it !
Thank you for letting me apply and for taking the time to look over my application.
