Flying Unicorn Squadron - January 2010 Report
Office of the Chief of Staff
Since the restart of the Flying Unicorn Squadron, we have been able to help many new players in the short time we have been active, with the help of the eRepublik provided National USA chat room. We have also received donations from outside sources that have helped greatly. We would like to give out thanks to everyone that is helping make this program a success.

Here is how our goals stacked up to the current data we have collected. (Due to most of the new players not having time to get to level 10 the numbers are currently skewed)

Closing
Due to the newness of the program and untested bench marks I feel that the organization was useful in its purpose this month. I have laid out some key goals, and how we plan to hit them in the upcoming month.
Goals for February:
100 players helped – Increase active helpers in the chat room
90% of players moved to fortress states – Ask the new player to move before they log off, thus hopefully increasing interest in the game.
80% level 5 and 10 retention – We are almost there. I think in the long run what we are doing will work.
Appreciation for our work:
Dennis McVicker
"Thank you for all your help. I have met some wonderful friends already, and have learned how to navigate the site and IRC. If it weren't for the help you provided me I'd have had a more difficult time of it. So thanks again for everything."
Fierypanic
"Thank you for welcoming and showing me around to better help me understand things in the world."
EDIT: I am looking for one person to work the chat room during daylight hours. If you are interested please msg me.

Great work by the Flying Unicorn Squadron!
It has been a struggle sometimes to find the time to be online, but almost everyday in the forums, we make contact with at least 1-2 New Players. I think we make an impact with some of them and encourage them to stick around. Eariler today, I had a very nice chat with a new player and he commented that it was nice to be a part of a community where so many people were decent and made an effort to be helpful.
Thank you for all the support that everyone has shown us, and three cheers for our fearless leader, Archer Bullseye.
Of course, I would be remiss if I did not mention the rebuilder of the Squadron itself, Jude Connors. Thank you Sir!

Good work FUS!
Aight bro's.
Great news that the Flying Unicorns are up and running again. Voted, subscribed, shouted, and donated.
In other news, we are working hard to help Mr Woldy be in a USA-controlled region without him having to ask FUS for any moving tickets at all.
