Currently being worked on is the Beginner's Path, in which a system for tracking a new member's initial activities (or at least those that will encourage future activity and/or are required to progress into RS by graduating from an academy) and awarding points; what do points mean? prizes! or in this case, being promoted to the junior ranks availalble to a new member. I propose this system be extended; the functionality will already be there, so the initial work in some respects will already be done. What do I mean by extended? Well, simply put, link all the newly proposed systems (Academy courses, Missions system and Mission building) as well as current activity systems (ITOD participation, M-player participation, Competition (external and internal) participation) to the Beginner's Path system. For every mission reported on in the Mission system, for every ITOD flown etc. automatically award a member pre-determined rankPointsâ„¢ (working title :P). Allow command staff to award rankPointsâ„¢ manually (although the amount can still be pre-determined if desired) for other activities such as website design/construction/muchosMaintenanceÂâ„¢, aggressive recruitment, running a bunch of ABG sims, being an active CO at some level (lower than those awarding the points obviously) etc. Additionally a ranking of those who attained the most rankPointsâ„¢ per week or month could be posted on the site, with those attaining considerabley more than they usually do being noted in NLs and SotRS (that is assuming it goes back to it's usual format :s). Allow individuals to view thier own and command staff to view those members under them's rankPointsâ„¢ total. While the number would not be a deffinitive statement on when people should be promoted and/or receive medals, it can be used as a fairly accurate gauge; indeed, people's attitudes are certainly something to consider, with those who are anti-social, those who are obesessed with attaining rankPointsâ„¢ over all else (i.e. quality of work, stepping on people's toes etc.) being held back intentionally and told as much/why. Every time someone is promoted these rankPointsâ„¢ can be either cashed in, or left to continue growing (an analogy between it and experience point systems in RPG games might be geeky, but accurate, you can have either or in both cases) - clarification: that's an either/or decision to be made for the system's design, should it be implemented. Summary: It's gone 5am here, so hopefully all of that makes sense :P.. anyways, such a system, I believe, will give members an insentive to participate, clear recognition of what they've done, ensure that members are not passed over for promotion and give a centeral core of 'activity rating' that can be extended upon and is more accurate than what we currently have....
