They say that “people with experience offer the best advice”. Not really; no one says that but me. But whatever. Here are my ideas…
UNIFORM CLARIFICATION!
Whenever I’m at a battle or see pictures of a battle, I see a sea of green and a few ACP soldiers. How about turning this sea into a battle formation of soldiers? Here’s how: Making the uniform more obvious. I’ll leave the exact decision-making up to Saint, but basically you’re gonna want to make clear the specific shirt, hand-held object, feather color, and especially helmet (this is the biggest area where we need order). My suggestion: Rankings of clothing items. For example…
Shirt rankings:
- Green football jersey
- Green letterman jacket
- Green something
- etc.
Hat rankings:
- Roman helmet
- Red viking helmet
- Blue viking helmet
- Gold viking helmet
- Winged helmet
- Gold knight helmet
- etc.
You get the point. This way you guys will look MUCH more organized and MUCH more respectable as a fighting force. Obviously last-minute civilian minutemen will just wear green, but what can you do.
ARMY CENSUS
Yes, Person, I know. But Person’s census failed for several reasons. My idea is basically the same, only with a little more organization.
- One guy sets up a makeshift WordPress for the soldiers to comment on.
- Every major and minor army advertised for it, by placing the link and instructions to the census site in a post or sidebar or whatever.
- People leave comments stating their CP name, army, rank, gender, and a link to their army’s site. That way its simple enough for newer soldiers to do, but complicated enough for it to take too much time for cheating.
- The site admin counts up the names, removes double commenters (via IP address check), and tells us how many soldiers total, how many per army, guy to girl ratio, etc.
- We have knowledge, and “knowledge is power” (people actually DO say this one ;))
I have more suggestions, but I’m too frickin tired.
P.S. Are you still at war with the RPF? Anyway, this reminds me of an old Chinese proverb:
“If you toss a pebble at us, we will toss two pebbles back…
…and then we’ll get all our friends and kick the f****** c*** out of you.”
Peace.
Oagal out.
