Ambassador Program - Vote on name and give us your thoughts!

[Pandar]

Note: Please do not use this thread to say you want to be an ambassador, we will do that later!

I'd like to thank everyone who came by our meeting tonight. For those just hearing about this, we're working on planning a new ambassador program for experienced players who like to spend some time helping out new people to the game. These are the kind of people who hang out in Forest Haven to greet and guide the brand new and lower level peeps. More info - http://www.spacetimestudios.com/show...at-7pm-Eastern

The Pocket Legends community is going to have a hand in designing and executing this ambassador program, and tonight we sat down to chat about how we would like this to play out. I'd like to list some of the things we talked about and ask you to jump in and give us your thoughts!

[Remember that none of this is set in stone. I am recording what the majority thought was a good idea, and also listing some debatable things. All ideas are welcome!]

Name of the program:

Lots of great ideas, I've picked a few for everyone to vote on! Please see the poll and let us know what you like the best.

Roles and duties:

Main goal is to greet and guide new players - be their first friend in Alterra and help them get started on their journey
Be a role model, on best behavior and instruct about community guidelines and expectations
Not here to power level anyone or give them items - don't want to take away from experience
Ambassador accounts will be alts, never higher than lvl 10
Not as elite as GoA - do not want to be super duper exclusive

Perk ideas:

Special color name in-game (green?)
Special icon
Armor or shields with "?" logo or a question mark above player name
Other special vanity item for alt and main character? (highly debated, what do you think?)
Private sub-forum on the forum for exclusive updates, news and a place for ambassadors to coordinate and recommend new ambassadors

Applications:

First group of ambassadors will be hand picked by Spacetime and grown from there
Those who are interested in becoming an ambassador can apply on the forum
Applications will ask questions like - What is your Pocket Legends story? Why do you want to be an Ambassador? What is your main goal once you become an Ambassador? etc (Please feel free to suggest questions!)
Current ambassadors can give recommendations on who should be selected next
All applicants will be background checked for past behavior in the game
Once someone is chosen, they will have a trial period - if they excel during the trial period they will be chosen as a permanent ambassador

-----

Whew! That is a lot of stuff! What are your thoughts? I realize this thread might get out of control so let's try to be as helpful and understanding as possible! Please do not comment on this thread saying you would like to be an ambassador, that will come later.

We'll give this until the weekend and then revise based on your thoughts. Hopefully in a week or so we can draft the first constitution and go from there. LONG LIVE ALTERRA!

FIRST

I chose Support Squad of Alterra just because im the one who came up with it(: and it sounds cooool.

Once someone is chosen, they will have a trial period - if they excel during the trial period they will be chosen as a permanent ambassador

Thought we discussed that ambassadors can be demoted? Might want to replace the word "Permanent" with something like "Official" (:

Accually going for this one to help with:

It will straighten out my attitude. I know i have one im trying :P
Gives me a reason to play PL again
I love helping the lil noobies(:

[WoundedEagle]

Second, and Alliance of Alterra is my current guild name But if it was liked, we could work something out

[Silentarrow]

Where can we find the poll?

[RedRyder]

Applying

On the first post

[Pandar]

Right above the thread!

My browser didn't load the poll at first *facepalm*.

Sounds excellent! Since moderators have a green name i think a different color would be in order. Maybe yellow or orange? Concerning the vanity-Maybe a shield with the 3 characters of PL on it? Title would be 'Ambassador Shield'.

[Whirlzap]

Yeah I read Alliance of Alterra and was like what.
I wonder if the original Guardians of Alterra was established like this.
I give some name offerings:
-Team Alterra
-Legends Search Team
-PL Welcome Team
-Alterran Officer
-Way of Warrior
-

[Cascade]

What about simply 'The Ambassadors of PL'.

Not as elite as GoA - do not want to be super duper exclusive

Perk ideas:

Special color name in-game (green?)Or blue
Special iconWe should talk to Max(Redryder) about this, Mod.
Armor or shields with "?" logo or a question mark above player nameMaybe a good idea to an extent that we are distinguished as our position
Other special vanity item for alt and main character? (highly debated, what do you think?)It is a good idea, to the point that we aren't here for free stuffs, but rather to help. But who doesn't like a cool vanity? I say vanity for alts.
Private sub-forum on the forum for exclusive updates, news and a place for ambassadors to coordinate and recommend new ambassadorsAnd Maybe possible group

Applications:

First group of ambassadors will be hand picked by Spacetime and grown from thereHow many?
Those who are interested in becoming an ambassador can apply on the forum
Applications will ask questions like - What is your Pocket Legends story? Why do you want to be an Ambassador? What is your main goal once you become an Ambassador? etc (Please feel free to suggest questions!)
Current ambassadors can give recommendations on who should be selected next
All applicants will be background checked for past behavior in the gameSounds official
Once someone is chosen, they will have a trial period - if they excel during the trial period they will be chosen as a permanent ambassadorUnless they do not continue their helping efforts for a period of time, or do something that violates ToS or is just wrong.

[RedRyder]

Voted for ambassadors of alterra

[Lowlyspy]

Sounds like a good program but how would one diferentiate this from the GoA? If STS is going to hand pick these players, we can almost assume that most of them will be GoA, and anyone who isn't GoA yet will immedately fufill the criteria to become one since helping other players will become a responsibility of theirs. If the addition of thie program means that the guardian program is scrapped then that makes a bit of sense, but if not then there seems to be quite a bit of overlap.

This is different from the GoA's, that is just to recognize people who have shown exemplary dedication to following the rules and helping when needed. Ambassadors isnt going to be as exclusive, anyone can join, and their objective is purely to help out lower level people to get the hang of the game.

I suggested Ambassadors Alliance (lol AA) but there are a bunch more better than mine.

[WoundedEagle]

Oh and:

-Ministy of Alterra
-Counsel of Alterra

[Phoenixking]

I was the one that made ambassadors of alterran:P so i votes for that one and are those all the notes?
(i was actually going to ask something more important but...i forgot it :P i hate when i forget :MAD:

[Irulelol]

It all sounds good to me

[Haowesie]

Great idea! Reminds me of my first days of pocket legend... Discovery was half the fun!

Actually everyone in game has blue names....are you trying to say something? And i prefer RAINBOW NAME!!!!!! :P

[Gluttony]

Yeah, I get that but any GoA that applies is a sure thing. Anyone who gets accepted will more than likely be considered to become a GoA in a matter of weeks. I'm just saying this seems like a stepping stone to GoA-hood. Could be fun though, but not really sure how one a player can tell who is truely new and who is just making an alt.

[RBeltran]

Lol go Pocket Ambassadors! I think I came up with that one.
