Hear ye, hear ye!
I am pleased to announce that the two elected moderators and two elected tribunes have now officially been given extra administrative roles, to help the site run more smoothly. This measure, passed by the citizens, has been possible partly as a result of the site's atmosphere being so friendly we haven't needed much moderation going on, for which I'd like to thank everyone. The new roles will hopefully lead to a much more efficient staffing strategy for the site as a whole and give more junior staff additional experience that will help them if in future they end up taking on admin roles.
The new jobs are as follows, with their current occupants. Any of these four elected staff may take on any of the roles, so in future this may be subject to change.
Constitutional Officer (Pentagathus, Tribounos)
Pentagathus' role as Constitutional Officer is to help citizens and staff draft bills and to answer people's questions about legislation on Exilian. The member-run nature of our site means it's really important for everyone to be able to participate and get their ideas down on paper, and now we have someone specifically to give them a helping hand.
Notary to the Sebstokrator (Scarlet, Tribounos)
This vital role has been long filled by the Tribunes, but now has finally been formalised. Scarlet's job is to ensure that the records of the Hidden Plaza, our democratic meeting place (only visible if you're a citizen!) are fully up to date and in order. This includes running the Exilian's all important awards system, the Triumph Points, as well as keeping registers of citizens and political parties up to date.
Public Information Officer (Rob, Spatharios)
Keeping ordinary members as well as citizens informed about goings-on is obviously vital, and Rob will be in charge of things like updating forum descriptions and staff lists so you know who to contact about things and where to post that thread you've been itching to start. He'll also be there to give helpful and friendly advice to new members and show them around. If you're new, do PM him with any questions you might have.
Press Officer (Othko97, Spatharios)
Othko is taking on the new Press Office, putting him in charge of Exilian's press and social media strategy. We're planning to start using far more updates on twitter and facebook, as well as formally press releasing for mod releases to give our hosted projects as good a chance as possible of getting all the coverage they deserve. If you haven't liked us already on Facebook head over to
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Exilian/130614027123872 now and do so - and keep an eye out for a possible Exilian twitter opening in the near future! You can PM Othko as Press Officer or myself as Content Director with press and social media ideas and requests, and for advice on how to get your project out to the public. The press office also now has an email account, press@exilian.co.uk, which you can use to contact us.
Thanks for reading, and here's to a prosperous autumn for the site,
Jubal (Basileus & Megadux)
