PAs?

[Just Evan]

A few weeks ago staff asked for applications for PAs. Do we have any at this time? Is there a time table on when they will be announced?

[Shah-Khohr of Ventrue]

I am certainly willing. However, the current incarnation of PAs, which serve more as extensions to the STs than the players, does not interest me at all. Which I guess just makes me a mouthy player

[Just Evan]

I was more asking the staff if they had a timetable on announcing the new PAs from the folks who applied. Was there an announcement at game I missed?

[Just Evan]

This thread has been up nearly a week with no official response.. Are there any staff members monitoring this board who can answer the question, please?

I would also like to see the appropriate PA announcement. Cefyn, Victor Vaughn Bertie, NOMNOMNOM, Elaine Heast, Tim, Morgan?

Prompt announcement of PA's is called out as a duty of the HST in the charter. This is technically a charter violation, and may result in the disciplinary acts called out for staff violations in the Charter.

Kevin had 30 days to announce his staffs PA's, that hasn't happened. It needs to.

[Just Evan]

Kevin indicated to me that he could not log into the boards and would be contacting you (Chris) for help with that. Not sure what is going on at this point, but some official post from someone on staff would certainly be helpful. Guys? Anything?

Hello!

Staff is aware of PA issue and plans to announce something official soon™

If there are people who are interested in becoming a PA, or any other position, we are still taking in interested parties.

[Just Evan]

Staff, I swear I am not trying to be pushy or cruel here. It's been over a month since you dismissed the PAs and opened applications for new ones. You have not communicated to all those who have applied, you have not provided a time table for announcing PAs, you have not addressed the problem except to state you know there is an issue with your delay and that is only after two weeks of public hounding on the boards.

More information is critical, not less. Two sentences acknowledging there has been a problem and then inviting more applicants does not solve the problem. It compounds it by allowing us to sit and idly guess what might be wrong.

Did you not get enough applications? Are you simply unwilling to name the crop of applicants as PAs? Is there another issue regarding getting a base of communicative support for the player in working with this staff that we are unaware of? Transparent communication is going to help a hell of a lot more than cryptic responses. Clue us in to what is up so we don't fill in the blanks with meaningless speculation, please.

Staff announced at game that they will be announcing PA's this coming week.

[Just Evan]

Thank you for the update, Chris! I'm relieved to hear it!

[NOMNOMNOM]

We will be announcing this again at game on the 15th, but your PA's are:

Ross Skilling, Julie Norton, Chris Schetzle, and Paul Cleveland.

Thank you to all of those who applied!

I will create a
Julie@
Paul@
Ross@
Chris@

set of email addresses. PA's let me know what email addresses you want those to forward to.

Ross hasn't gotten back to me yet, but I hear he sleeps like a normal human at AM, heh.

The catch-all [e-mail] address is being retired. If you want a PA, shoot an email to one of those addresses (+@ross soon).

Those forwards go to that person only and no one else. Staff is not aware of messages sent to these individuals unless you request that they be made aware. Other PA's are not aware of these messages unless you request it or send to multiple people, etc.

[e-mail] is now live as well.
