Good morning, Argo.
Those who have been around for a while will have noticed that, especially since we established the player group policy, in-game and especially starbase-focused RP has been increasingly uncommon. So as part of our on-going effort to keep the Argo environment healthy, staff is unveiling a new initiative today to give the starbase RP environment some much needed attention and care.
As our starbase RP Staff, @Lauren and @Sophist will be coordinating RP opportunities with base department heads, which does mean we will start to levy requirements on starbase DH players. We encourage these players especially to carefully review the new starbase structure, as in the coming days, staff will be following up with each currently appointed DH to discuss the new changes and determine if they plan to stay onboard.
Current DH players will have until the end of the month (Nov 30th) to come to a decision, after which if we do not receive a confirmation about their commitment, we will work to transfer them out of their position as necessary. Players who are interested in currently open DH spaces should contact @Sophist to be considered.
We’re hopeful that this overhaul will inject some new life into the starbase environment that we all remember fondly and that experimenting with this new GM-less format may help enliven RP in all aspects of Argo.
