Ahreet Aus 😉

Firstly, apologies for this being a day late. I completely forgot yesterday, and by the time I’d remembered last night, I was already heavily into playing GTA and couldn’t tear myself away from it. Anyway…



Congrats to Cyber.Casper for winning the CP elections yesterday. I’m sure you’ll do a top notch job mate! And also a big thankyou and a round of applause to MickSkitz who had two very successful CP terms which saw Aus put back on the map. Yay!


Before I get into the ADF stuff, I want to clear something up for anyone who may be confused about yesterdays RW in NSW. That RW was just set up to keep battles active for Aus - it wasn’t the RW where we were meant to take back NSW. You’ll know when it is, because Chile would have NE’d us, and there will be a battle in Tas too. So don’t worry!






I figured I’d use todays article to have a look back at the ADF in February. There was chaos caused about half way through the month whereby we doubled in size to over 110 members; chaos not helped by the fact that we also saw about 10 multi accounts trying to access supplies and gold from JDS. To put that into perspective, in previous months we have only caught a maximum of two multi accounts for the entire month, and some months we didn’t have any, so to see roughly 10 pass through in a matter of days was quite shocking. I managed to upset one person when I said that supplies for that particular day were at my discretion until I could figure out what to do next, and despite sending a nice message explaining the situation, I wasn’t given the time of day. Oh well!


The number of people completing their daily orders peaked at 30 on the 22nd, with our lowest last month being just 4 people at the very beginning of the term, the 6th. That’s a huge jump. Supplies were changed a few times throughout the month to deal with our increasing numbers, and unlike January, Q7’s stopped being supplied altogether after the 13th, when it became abundantly clear we would not be able to sustain sending them. I was also forced to introduce a new way of obtaining supplies from the ADF (at least, whilst I have been Marshal) in the form of a two question survey. This has helped us out a lot.




I started February’s term with 6600.78cc left in the org from January’s budget. I continued to use this money until I was handed February’s budget. The new budget reached me on the 14th when I had 1666.74cc left in the ADF org, and that money has remained there. From February’s budget, I have 4848.33cc left over. In total, 12340.46cc was spent in February on supplies.


It does seem that we have quite a bit left over, although the budget for Febuary was 10k, so really we did go over that. Predicting how many people I have to supply is impossible, and it’s something I’ve tried pointing out before. With the ADF, you just never know.


Q7’s are still too pricey for us right now, which is why you may have noticed that I’ve been dishing out Q6’s. I’m confident that we’re able to stay on budget with Q6’s, and I should actually be able to start rolling out 7, rather than the 5 I give out now.


Ooh, this has got quite long and rambly. One of those days where I’m struggling to concentrate. So lets just go ahead and do the late MOTW!





This week, there are 18 of you lovely peeps up for MOTW. They are: Dr. Lathandar Turin, Jay Doggy AUS, Cooper Joel,Jack Garvey, Liang Zhou, Marjoo Umbri, HeinrichTheThird, OatF. Ozdaz, Mongoosier, MTU4000, Lupurus. Grant Dare, JJAce44, Cpt. Eyedea, Mithalraman, MickSkitz and AusOrac. The winner is:


Congrats mate, sending 2 gold over soon!

For those of you who don’t know, MOTW (Member of the Week) is where anyone who has completed their daily orders 4 or more times gets their name thrown at a random generator, and whoever comes out top wins 2 gold!



Also, please remember guys, that if you're in the ADF and want supplies (and why the heck wouldn't you, it's free stuff!) then please fill out this really really short survey - https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/HYVQHY2 If you don't, I can't supply you 🙁



Yup, thats a nice wall of text right there. Take it easy guys o7
