Corporate cohesion is essential to any efforts to claim and protect space and if you have 50 members but 50% of them never help out in corporate endeavours, you end up feeling like a large corp that can't do anything better than a much much small corp can do. This *really* hurts moral of the pilots that do step up and can lead to a "failure cascade". Smaller corps with less resources can feel less moral loss from smaller ops if they get higher relative levels of participation.<BR/><BR/>Thus a goal of any corporation in Eve (and alliance for that matter) is ensuring as much as possible that all pilots are pulling in the same direction with good participation to not only claim and protect territory effectively, but also to promote unity and high morale.<BR/><BR/>The Stars and Strikes system is fairly effective (because its easy to define and understand and thus plan for) and non-draconian compared to other Eve corporations where threats of firings and verbal abuse on voice comms is a more typical approach. :/Kirith Kodachihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12322297953184168725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10989652.post-66465089989051284002008-09-26T10:30:00.000-04:002008-09-26T10:30:00.000-04:00Most of the penalties only apply if you are online...Most of the penalties only apply if you are online during the operation. I mistakenly left that out. And scheduled operations are like once a week with multi day notices.<BR/><BR/>I don't think the system is a "trainwreck" in the context of the eve environment. I think its far superior compared to other corporations I have been in as long as the chance to earn stars in other forms than scheduled ops is present.Kirith Kodachihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12322297953184168725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10989652.post-69172844939023748732008-09-26T10:24:00.000-04:002008-09-26T10:24:00.000-04:00Any system that punishes lack of involvement expli...Any system that punishes lack of involvement explicitly is inherently unhealthy. By explicitly punishing people who don't attend events (which are set up by the leadership of the group, and thus set to cater to THEIR schedules) you place players is a situation where they are forced between making a stupid RL decision or else suffering in-game penalties.<BR/><BR/>Reward attendance, and leave non-participation as a 0. Deadbeat members are easy enough to notice and deal with without a system like the trainwreck you're describing.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10693094640731170153noreply@blogger.com
