Dear aMity Members,

Firstly, as the founder and a Council member of aMity Gaming, I would like to apologize for my inactivity during the school year. I rarely have time to come on and play games due to lacrosse, studying, class, and women. But when I do get on, I mainly only play league and a quick game at that. Now that summer has arrived I am more time to play games with not just the admins, but every aMity member. I hope that you all add me on steam, message me when you have some time, get to know me, and let me wreck face in counter strike or any other game you challenge me on.

Now to get to the point of the topic, the updates that will soon be coming. I have been talking with the admins and above the past month on suggestions for improvements and what not, and here is the list that we have come up with:

* Each crossed off to-do item means that item has been completed

General ideas:

• Remove unpopulated servers, and combine using my newly coded mod switcher code named Orion which allows a mod vote, as well as a map vote based on the mod voted for. This will allow us to combine servers such as deathrun, and gungame on one server rather than having two. As far as I know, no servers have this, so this can be an appealing concept for aMity.
  
• Remove inactive aMity members, interview each mod, officer, and admin so find out what they are currently doing, how to better admin, and just to get to know them better.
  
• Force another admin training to admins and below
  
• Create a server mod that disallows the aMity tag in servers unless they are actually an aMity member
  
• Bring a new forum design into play
  
• Clean up the forums
  
• Finish the aMity jail map
  
• Clean up ventrilo
  
• Rewrite the rules and be more specific, issuing harsher punishments for disrespect towards higher ups. We have ranks for a reason, and I want to do a three strike rule, which includes everyone even the Council.
  
• Redesign the MOTD
  
• Update server mods
  
• Update maps for servers
  
• Survey all aMity members with an anonymous survey that will have them rate the DL's and higher and how aMity is run overall
  
• Bring back bi-weekly meetings with recordings again
  
• Remove ads from the site, or make them less annoying
  
• Jail warden plugin

Things to change / remove / review:

• Chicken fight from !lr
  
• Hunger games in jail?
  
• CTF in jail?
  
• Minigames !rtd

If you have anything at all for us to review / add / change post!




If you guys have any other suggestions, please post. We will need everyone to help out to get all this done within a week. What we will do is plan, set up, and then execute these changes. So that the downtime for each server is minimal to around 1-2 hours. Get ready gents.



Sincerely,
Pat "Pure" Herlihy

Squads and Information:
POSITIONS
Strategist: Roll focused on strategy and being up-to date on the battle at hand. Requires you to spend most of your time looking at the map and listening to the Ambassador's rather then being in the fight.
Supply Guard / Escort: Very important roll focused around protecting supply camps and escorting the Yaks [Which carry the supply] back to a tower or keep.
Scout: Does as implies, watches over key parts of the battle and back door's, can be in large battles as well
Siege Engineer: Works heavily with Supply Manager, and Repairman/Defense Engineer. Focuses on assisting the main raid groups with Siege Weaponry, and is usually the one to pilot the Seige Golem
Repairman/ Defense Engineer: These people focus on defending the Keeps/Towers/Castle's and upgrading them. They work heavily with Supply Manager to construct defenses and upgrade the current places. Also works with Treasurer and Solo Play Raids to upgrade NPC's
Supply Manager:Keep's tabs and manages people's supply to efficantly maximize the amount of supply that can be spent. Works very heavily with almost all rolls.
Ambassador: One of the most important rolls that someone can undertake. Ambassador not only works with the Alliance that we will form [In GW2, 10 guilds can work together in a Alliance, and have a shared chat] But also work with all of the random people that are in the WvWvW arena, coordiante them, and listen to the Strategist. Being up-to-date and social in this roll is key. Low patience is not a option.
General: As implys it is the leader(s) of the guild and head of all operations in it, roll's most likely filled by myself, and 2-3 other people.
Commander: Leader's of a raid group, or Vanguard.
Vanguard: Best of the best that have to be recruited in game, they work as a strike force that are supposed to fight off any opposing force.
Treasurer: Manages the guild's funds for WvWvW ONLY, does not have any affect on the entire guild bank, only on it's WvWvW aspect.
Reserves: 5-10 man groups that move as patrols, and converge on a location for defense or offence when the main attack force cant get there in time.
Inquisitor: Handles rule enforcement, and other such things in the guild.
Soldier: Average raider, apart of raid groups, everyone is one, but not everyone is just this roll.
Champion: The best of the best of the guild, top ranking in pvp, pve and everything. The true represenative of the guild's strength

Raid Group 1 (NAME IT): Supply Lines: Focuses on raiding enemy supply lines, and works in very tactical strikes to lower enemy world's supply, therefore crippiling them. For more group based players.
Raid Group 2 (NAME IT): NPC groups: Solo player type people that do the world based NPC quests to help support our defense and attack, more for people who dont want to be apart of the mass attacks.
Raid Group 3 (NAME IT): Towers: Groups focused around attack towers, most likely groups of 20-30 people. Based on good teamwork and paying attention while taking down gates.
Raid Group 4 (NAME IT): Keeps: Much larger groups, most likely 50+ Man groups, and also working with other guilds, like before you must stay alert and not just AFK while attacking the keep's gate
Raid Group 5 (NAME IT): Castle: A combination of all the guilds and randoms in total, You must stay alert the most in this group as you attacking the most vital part of the game. Geared towards very large people, most likely about 100.

HEIRARCHY
