[ Mr Pitbull ] Proposal for new Military system
MakedonecMKD
Greetings. I have a suggestion about changing the way our Military Units work right now, because we're going to be at war with Argentina. It is their initiative of course. They started with an airstrike against Belgium, and as we can see, they conquered Flanders.
Armies - UNITED AS ONE!
- I have an idea, because we will have a real test in front of us these days. It's a proposal about changing the organizational system of the Military Units and armies, in order to create more damage in the crucial seconds of the battles. Every decision about the armies / military units will be made on meetings of the UK HQ where every commander from every bigger Military Unit will be present.
With this War module, the organization of the army is much more important than before. That's why I suggest this type of organization:
The Armies / the Military Units will be organized into 6 shifts, each of them lasts for 4 hours.
First shift (morning) - 8 am - 12 am
Second shift (noon) - 12 am - 4 pm
Third shift (afternoon) - 4 pm - 8 pm
Fourth shift (night shift) - 8 pm - 12 pm
Fifth shift (night owls 1) - 12 pm 4 am
Sixth shift (night owls 2)- 4 am - 8 am
The one in charge for hitting in the given time is the Shift Commander. A Shift Commander could be from every single Military Unit, chosen by the Congress / CP / Dictator. For example, in the First Shift the man in charge will be the commander from the Royal Navy, the Second shift will be someone from the Funky Militia, the Third Shift will be someone from the British Army etc. The Shift Commanders' rotation depends from the number of the active Military Units.
At the UK HQ the Shift Commander and an MU representative from each one of them must be present. The Military Unit itself decides who should be it's Shift Commander and MU representative.
We must get more active if we want this system to work. But I guarantee that we will create much more damage if there is a better organization.
We will also create a statistical analysis to see when do we have the most active UK players that are online, and in which day-period we make maximum damage. That is crucial in order for us to know what is the best time to attack and how should we be organized.
The organized strike is the core of this module. So feel free to comment, give a suggestion, how should it be improved, and tell me your ideas.
I hope that we will become one of the greatest!
Yours truly,
Mr Pitbull

All credit to you for the innovative ideas, but I doubt anyone wants to cut out on sleep for eRep! 😛
I guess a similar thing could be done with our allies, whereby the different time-zone allies will be recommended to take different shifts.
This system could (in theory) work during daytime hours in the eUK, but again wouldn't have maximum impact due to different people having different schedules.

It could work if there are people who work in day-time and are wake in the night... there are many people who stay at night. We could form a group message with them and the time of attack. It's simple, the only thing we need is approval o/
Well it is possible I think. We have Americans and Candians (suezo and massa from the Royal Navy come to mind - roh is Brazilian too!) who can do night shifts after midnight if they wanted while we also have Eastern Europeans who are 3 hours ahead (I'm no expert on time zones) who can do morning times - an Australian would be great. Fortunately we have many players who are from other time zones. It would be more achievable on weekends I think as people tend to stay up longer and will sometimes be at home in the morning/noon.
I think the bigger worry is how effective is this compared to the effort put in. We have the SAS messages which get orders to our top fighters quickly without having to put much effort in. The MoD articles are also little effort things which get orders out. This proposal seems like a lot of effort, I wonder how effective it may be.
Agreed with gali. In principle,this is a sound idea, but in practice I fear it's doomed to failure. For one thing, I'd imagine the number of active eUK fighers at 3am on a weekday morning will be vastly smaller than at, say 8pm. Even during the day, people have other priorities, such as work or education.
As things stand, we have a vast number of MUs and little coordination between them save for what information the MoD passes on. Several of these MUs are dead or petty vanity projects and the vast majority of eUK damage is done by a handful of major units. The only real way to coordinate our damage effectively is to drastically reduce the number of MUs (thus reducing the number of points of contact needed to update orders) and to involve our allies in different timezones to provide continued support for times when eUK is (or should be) asleep.
Which means that we need to work on the communication and put an extra effort if we want to make something out of this game 🙂
Extra effort in this game?
I swear people on here are deliberately trying to stop me from ever completing actually decent games...

Seeing as one battle tends to last for bloody ages this feels like a waste of time to me. Would also require some srs organisation of people's real lives. Now idk about the MU commanders but that'd be a srs issue for me so I assume it's less than convenient for them as well, especially seeing as RN seems to change commanders about as often as I change pants.
What Cheetah said about the effort required compared to the actual effectiveness is also a problem.
That being said, a statistical analysis to find out what time we tend to output the most damage wouldn't be a bad idea, though probably very difficult to actually do.
If we want to change something we will put an extra effort as I previously said. If not, then ok, suit youselves. I gave a proposal, it's to the people of UK to duscuss about this and decide.
We have 4 commanders rob. and each gets the helm one month at a time.
You should change pants more often mate.
imagine the smell of the pant he is wearing now. 😛
I'm fragrant as hell m8
It sounds like a good idea but I doubt that the commitment to carry it through exists in eUK.
The amount of RL effort involved is significant especially as people have jobs to go to, babies to look after, beer to drink, ...
beer to drink should be higher up that list
Whiskey > Beer > RL > eRep.
Horice 😉
The government could help with supplying the MUs that cannot them selfs. Might encourage more fighting
Exzactly how will this be paid for? Are you proposing even higher taxes?
if MUs in the first place can't supply their own members, then they shouldn't be exist in the first place.
Ive never seen any MU that could supply all its members, not the bigger MUs anyway.
EZC, FC, War Inc, and many others. even if you find some, they are maybe either dead or simply don't want to be supplied or he is supplier. also, keep in mind that even some MUs advertise in another countries just to get more members.
and of course, there are some MUs whose members are independent like your MU, GAMA, etc.
It is far to much commitment from people in my opinion. I think continuation of the SAS PM's is the way to go. I did them last term but as I've not in the gov this term I feel I would be treading on toes doing them. However if the gov wants me too do them and puts me in the cabinet messages so I know what is going on I can make time for this.
