MelodicRose(OD)

Hello again friends 😄 After a lovely turnout from our last community events, we will be hosting another game night on Saturday, November 7th at 7pm Central Time! Everyone is welcome to join, but if you could please fill out the poll if you intend to join so we know how many people we can expect - it would be appreciated. Non-OD members are also welcome (one of us, one of us!). The poll closes on October 28th at 11:59pm, so make sure to respond before then. There have been some suggestions for Fall Guys, but I wanted to leave the decision up to you guys on what we play since we've also had wishes of Among Us returning. Please vote on the poll to determine which game we will play on the night of fun! A little information about Among Us: Among Us is a party game that focuses on teamwork and betrayal. You can play with up to 10 players and a minimum of 4 players (though it is best played with over 6). Players are put onto a space ship and given tasks to complete. The caveat to this idea is that there are "imposters" among you on the ship that are out to sabotage and murder you! As a normal player, your job is to finish your tasks before everyone dies, or vote out all of the imposters before they murder you. As an imposter, your job is to murder everyone else! The game is $4.99 on Steam and free on mobile (though there are advertisements, and it's much easier to play on a PC). Link to a full description of the game by the developers: http://www.innersloth.com/gameAmongUs.php A little information about Fall Guys: Fall Guys is a platformer battle royale game but is farrr different from any other battle royale shooter type game. It can easily be compared to the game show "Wipe Out," in which players are pitted against each other to maneuver through obstacle courses to win rounds! The groups are limited to a maximum of 4 players, but this can be easily combatted with multiple groups and chats to hang out in. The game is $19.99 on Steam, it is also purchasable on PS4 but cross compatibility is not available at this time. We will be playing the PC version if this choice is picked. Link to the website, where you can explore the rounds available: https://fallguys.com/ Link to the official gameplay trailer video so you can see how the game works: I look forward to seeing you all on Nov. 7th!

I didn't see this response, sorry! We played from ~7pm-11pm CDT, and had nearly a full group the entire four hour period. Very successful! A new thread for the next event is in the works ~

I'm not speaking on the disablement itself, I am speaking on the reaction and words spoken upon after the fact - almost in a rash manner. I have read it again several times, and it still comes off as off putting and there are others who feel the same way. There was no request to micro-manage anything, it was just a curiosity since no one had heard of this situation it seems, nothing more and no need for such an extravagant response. There was no need to "verify" anything, it was moreso wondering what happened since the first BM attempt to regard such an abrupt removal from the clan. Nothing more, nothing less. To state that this situation does not make you want to be a general is problematic as a whole. The forums still have a time and a place, especially for administration - but this can be an argument for another time and day. At this point, as generals, the divisions we do or do not lead are not our only responsibility anymore. We take a more clan-wide role as we continue to move up through the ranks, looking at the overall improvement of the clan as a whole. I have nothing to add here, I'm glad this was cleared up 🙂 I do not doubt your ability to obtain votes outside of your division, I believe several of us received votes outside of our division from our evals last time around. That being said, I do not appreciate the attempt to "call out" my joining the SC2 voice channel - where I've bounced around the text channel a few times without much response (I'm usually hanging around community chats or in gamer's lounge where all are welcome for all games). But I can agree that this is an area all generals can work on, which is why I bring it up here as you seem to wish to continue to move up through the ranks into more community centric roles (3* and up in the future). I'm glad you've experienced growth in your division, as a past division leader I can understand that that takes time, so I look forward to seeing what occurs once trainings have gone through and you can work on other areas. I wish you the best of luck with your evaluation, it seems there are plenty of people who do support you so I do not doubt you will move up - but it would feel wrong of me to support your promotion currently. I think that the way you compose yourself is sometimes abrasive and that can be taken many wrong ways. You have not been a 1* general for very long, and I would like some more time to see more of your administration side of things and interactions with fellow generals to see if this is a continued pattern before I support your promotion at this time. You are a hard working division leader, but the interactions outside of that in entities that I get to observe have been somewhat.. negative in terms of how people feel afterwards - and that's not something I wish to see from a general moving up through the ranks. I look forward to continuing to work with you on the tough topics ~

I do not have any questions for you at this time, the only thing I am remotely concerned about is your ability to remain not burned out. You are clearly a leader at heart and your accomplishments are hefty. If you can continue to be active and continue to do the work you're already doing/involving yourself in an administration level, I have no problem with supporting your promotion to the General squad 🙂

Hello RedIce 😄 Unfortunately, this isn't a very easy decision for me and I do have a few questions for you. Within a thread in the General's forum (unsure how specific I can be with it in these topics), you had been very aggressive towards another general and towards generals as a whole in a response, stating that you "do not feel like we need to keep track of every little thing that happens on the forums, hell most of our members do not even use them," and that "the only reason why half of us do is because we are REQUIRED to do so as a commander/general/high officer and lately it's been making me feel like I do not want to be a general." Could you elaborate on your thoughts regarding this, including your current stance as a general? This post was almost exactly a month ago, what has changed to make this statement not concerning in regards to you now wanting to move up another rank as a general now? ------ Just a few posts above this one, you had mentioned inaccurate information in your evaluation regarding the eval process itself in a fashion that many people can see - even took to tagging all of the generals to inform them that their time is running out to vote/comment. As a 2* general, you would be a person a 1* general would go to with questions/concerns/etc, and in this case they would be given the wrong information. Do you have intentions to brush up fully on the details that revolve around General processes/Clan processes to answer questions effectively and accurately? ------ Lastly, I have a question regarding your clan-wide interests and contributions. As a 2* general, the "clan-wide" aspect isn't as heavily hit upon as it is in the 3* and 4* ranks, but as a member that is actively looking to continue moving through ranks (as I assume you wish to do by posting an eval), I do have some concerns with your clan-wide participation. Since you have returned, it seems you can only be found in your division channels. I have not seen you outside of those channels except for Admin/General meetings. Do you have any intentions to venture outside of those channels and chat around with the other members or attend community meetings/events to interact with the community as a whole?

Have there been any topics mentioned in the Discord chat that people have wanted to bring up that we can think on?

For clarification, Phase 1 has not even begun yet. Your evaluations must be posted by the 14th. Phase 1 begins on the 15th and runs until the 21st. Phase 2 starts on the 22nd and ends on the 28th. We are not required to begin commenting/voting/etc until the 15th and it must be done by the 21st. This has been confirmed by Aerineth. It is not so much a matter of inactivity from us on evals yet, its moreso that phase 1 has not even started and that observation is not really accurate until it begins.. if no one is commenting still by then, then we can comment on inactivity of the generals but its literally not close to the deadline. I know many wait on purpose to see discussion, especially from those who are moreso gaming focused. -end of clarification post-

Just want to give this a quick bumpity and a reminder that this is THIS SUNDAY! We are looking fairly low on member counts, so if you're interested in playing PLEASE reply to the poll or react to the event on Discord!

You've done it before and you will do it again ❤ you know you have two mega supportive friends at your fingertips that will do whatever they can Type - please bother us. We care about you greatly ❤

Helloooo friends! With the amount of interest in Among Us being discussed on Discord, I've decided to take a stab at hosting a community game night for it! Everyone is welcome to join, though I would appreciate if you would fill out the poll if you intend to join so that we know how many different groups we need to have. A little information about Among Us: Among Us is a party game that focuses on teamwork and betrayal. You can play with up to 10 players and a minimum of 4 players (though it is best played with over 6). Players are put onto a space ship and given tasks to complete. The caveat to this idea is that there are "imposters" among you on the ship that are out to sabotage and murder you! As a normal player, your job is to finish your tasks before everyone dies, or vote out all of the imposters before they murder you. As an imposter, your job is to murder everyone else! The game is $4.99 on Steam and free on mobile (though there are advertisements, and it's much easier to play on a PC). Discord voice chat will be required for this event as discussion is necessary during meetings to prove someone is an imposter or to prove you're innocent! Link to a full description of the game by the developers: http://www.innersloth.com/gameAmongUs.php Among Us gaming will commence at 7pm on Sunday, Oct. 11th. There will be a voice chat set up that we will all meet up in on Discord. Again, please respond to the poll above if you intend to play so we can establish groups since the games are limited to 10 people per group. Cya on Sunday! 🙂

This would be a really great community night game :3

One of these games will stick damnit.. >:C So, we recently started playing Genshin Impact and I was curious if anyone else is playing it as well? Genshin Impacts is a free to play action RPG that was created by miHoYo.. it's fantasy open world and contains some gacha game mechanics. I've heard it compared heavily to Breathe of the Wild (haven't played it myself). It's available on PC/PS4/Mobile (android and iOS). It is fairly fresh, released on Sept. 28th. Would be interested to get a little squad chat developed if there is some interest so we can chat about the game :). So far the only people I know that are playing currently are my brother, my fiance, and myself. Below is a video:

I own MHW but struggled with the combat system and camera controls on PC.. may have to try to with a controller. I know my brother (Flapjak(OD)) and my fiance (TheOncelor(OD)) have it as well. As for the others, I do not. My brother has Destiny but was unhappy with the latest shtuffs.
