announcements part 2: unit support!

[imepro]

HELLO this is a part 2 to the announcements! It's a very special announcement. earthshattering. biggening.

Starting today, we are opening up a Unit Support position!

What is that, you ask? Basically, this position exists to help fill out units that are on the slower and/or smaller side. Players who have this position are allowed to app thirds, provided at least one of their three characters are on one of these units.

With consideration to player comfort, we're also holding the following requirement: support members must have been in the game for at least a year, and have received zero notices of player conduct, whether on Discord or through email.

Here are the full terms, in bullet point form for readability:

Unit Support Privileges

• May have three (3) characters in the game total
  
• May app outside of the app period

Unit Support Requirements

• The player must have been in the game for at least one year, with zero Notices of Player Conduct emails or extensive mod intervention on Discord.
  
  • This position is intended to be toward the function of shoring up units, and players in the support group should expect to be placed with that in mind, rather than at their individual convenience, and therefore they'll be held to a higher standard of not having active conflicts.
    
    It should be noted that, in grey area situations, mods will be going with our best judgment.
  
  
• The player must have three months of full AC for both characters when their third character is being considered for placement.

Disclaimers & Things to Consider

• Units with five (5) members or fewer are considered fair game for support members.
  
• Support members do not have to have their support character as their third slot. For example: if a player was already on a smaller unit with one or more characters, they are not required to app a third to a smaller unit.
  
• We expect support members to prioritize the character with the smaller unit if made to face the choice, like in a game where only one character per person is allowed. We do not expect 100% of decisions made to be only for the character with the smaller unit, but we expect support members to have the mindset of prioritizing playing with their smaller units.
  
• Please note that while a support member can still have anti-requests, mods will prioritize need and compatibility over personal hopes and dreams for placement. We strongly recommend players tailor their character choices with this in mind.
  
• Should a support member receive a disciplinary notice at any time, their privileges will be revoked and the relevant problem character will be dropped.
