Zrai ch'Shennaryth is the current admiral of Personnel, has done a good job, and much like Intelligence I'm not very keen on promoting outside the department

We have had a lot of success moving character in and out of Intelligence, though. Shey himself was originally head of Starfleet Intelligence, and Gorac Crogan is chief of Staff for SI right now.

I really wanted Nash as Personal, but there are no other compelling options for the Academy. Possibly next promotion.

I believe some elements in the thread are trying to delay Nash's promotion to Vice Admiral as long as possible, in part so she remains eligible for commanding any force kicking (Breen/Harmony/?) butt in a shooting war as long as possible. Which reasoning she would obviously hate.

Also because there's a sense of a 'ticking career clock' that begins at Vice Admiral, which is probably less of a problem now we have more Admiral billets than just Head of Star Fleet, but is still a factor.

Plus, I think she'll be great at the Academy. And Cadet Picard interactions!

Oof. Half our career EC casualties were this year? This can't be game-long, just the current Admirals? Still. Oof.

Thors_Alumni · Apr 11, 2018

We currently have 275 PP. If we get over 300 PP before the next Snakepit I will be very happy and we can grab those 3 colonies in the Adrazzi Gulf that we need in order to stake our claims there as well as do a full 5 Diplo Pushes. That will take around a 150 PP total IIRC. and that will leave us with another 150 PP to spend.

Remember when we could afford the PP to usually do everything we urgently needed and sometimes even invest in things for the future? That was pretty nice.

We need to figure out how to get more PP or spend less and still accomplish our goals. This is getting annoying.

That's what I have been saying for a while now. Your not the only one who is frustrated with our PP shortage. It seems like we are losing more PP every year.

I feel like it's more a matter of "everything urgently needed" has expanded somewhat. And a bit of not really recalling the difficult decisions of yesteryear

You're forgetting Task Forces. Just to keep up with what we've got now will be 70pp.

They can't come fast enough.

So much for making Amarkia our next HIP location or anywhere else for that matter. unless we get really lucky with our PP someday we are never going to be able to make another HIP anywhere and the one in Sol will be our only one. And I don't like it. We absolutely need another HIP somewhere else in the Federation to prevent a crisis if something should happen to the one in Sol. Granted Sol is heavily defended but that wont stop a determined attacker. So getting a second HIP someday is a must for us both In game and out.

Deathbybunnies · Apr 11, 2018

Task Forces and increased Diplo push numbers are taking up a large amount of our pp. You know what would be neat? A big, expensive pp option that made a single push per year free going forward or something.

Courts Martial into the Damaging of the USS Exeter in the incident of Stardate 28022

While Captain Xansad Lalen was imprudent in ordering Exeter to warp deep into the Razzira system, the severity of the consequences of this action could not have been predicted. As such, Captain Lalen is reprimanded for his recklessness, but will retain command of Exeter.

Exeter:

"Exeter... smaaaaashed..." @_@

Vice Admiral Rachel Ainsworth has elected to take an extended sabbatical. As such, a new commander of the Explorer Corps is required.
Further, Personnel Command has been reorganized into a Vice-Admiralcy. A new Vice Admiral of Personnel is required.

[ ][EC] Choose a new commander of the Explorer Corps
[ ][PERS] Choose a new Director of Personnel Command.

Bonuses will be listed after the new heads of the EC and Personnel Command are chosen. Any Vice Admiral, or any Rear Admiral with at least 3 years of time-in-rank, is eligible to be chosen. Eligible candidates can be found here.

Uhh, didn't we used to get told what benefits would... oh, I see, what with the very open plan situation that's not feasible...

[sees ACAD]

I'm not going to lie, I don't like this. Like, being able to plan around character bonuses is actually kind of important and normally informs our vote choices. I can understand why you can't tell us what every one of a dozen or more candidates would do in a posting, but it's kind of harsh when you give us three choices and don't tell us what they do.[/quote]

We currently have a number of free pushes, and it's never enough. What about a pp option that expands the resources of the FDS, which reduces the pp cost of pushes and task forces by XX% for a set number of years?

I would be interested to see what Nash would do as Commandant. She has a unique perspective on the Federations mission and goals. My only concern is that it would be seen as an attempt to militarize the Academy.

That is exactly the thing about her reputation that she would most want to neutralize.

SynchronizedWritersBlock said:

[][PERS] Rear Admiral Eddie Leslie

e: please don't vote for Eddie, this is mostly a joke...

Given the transcendental paperwork snarl that's preventing him from retiring because he's already legally dead, I would be compelled to write an omake in which Starfleet's personnel database eats a paradox to the face and collapses into a transdimensional Ouroboros singularity, causing demented scritchings at the walls of reality as the boundaries between life and death are literally blurred. At least in Starfleet's paperwork.

Iron Wolf said:
I feel like if you seriously try to promote Leslie we will have to make a post like "Leslie talks his way out of it by charming the council, you get someone else instead"

Briefvoice said:
I think @Simon_Jester has requested that Leslie not be promoted above Rear Admiral.

Actually no, I haven't outright requested it, it's just that he'd have a hard time imagining it. Also that his "old salt" personality would creak pretty hard if called up before the Council, though he's flexible and multitalented enough to probably cope. As befits one of the few men in Starfleet history ever to wear the red, the blue, and the gold shirts during a single three year period.

I'm not explicitly requesting that Leslie not be promoted, and would do my best to keep Leslieing whatever happened to him, as I've always done in the past.

That said, putting him in charge of Personnel would be specifically a bad idea, but that's just because there'd probably be some kind of anti-time paperwork explosion, not because he's unfit for higher rank, a matter which I leave it to the voterbase to judge.
