The Imperial Cantina / Re: Star Wars Oregon Discord Server?

« Last post by antarmen on Today at 06:59:35 PM »

I think this has caused a lot more debate than Von and I had intended when we discussed getting a discord server. Having an SWO discord isn't going to be a replacement for any of our current forums or social media. One of my biggest goals this term as CO is to try and increase outreach with our members and communities. Part of that involves having a presence and being able to be reachable and accessible across as many platforms as possible. I'm also hoping to increase our presences in current social platforms like Facebook and Instagram. Members will still have to sign up for troops and post armor parties and such on these forums (as dated as some of you think they are). But if we can increase contact by having multiple venues to communicate to troopers, persons interested in joining, and/or persons in the community who may want to requests events or help otherwise; then I feel we should be open to those avenues. With that being said, I'm looking to expand the PR team with persons that are willing and able to help make this happen. Message me if you're interested in helping us out.

I have always argued that the definition of a forum pretty much covers all sorts of things, but LC doesnt listen to me

But, the 501st OP that was written back in the 1700's can, should, and realllly needs to be,  updated.  The Discord fans can write up a proposal and submit  to the LCRO.

I'd invite you all to read this, as this idea has been pretty fleshed out on the main legion forums:

https://www.501st.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=129&t=115884

More specifically, the part that says: "per the OPS protocol, a garrison must have a working website and forum."

Basically, ALL legion business must be handled on a forum (it doesn't specify that this must be that forum), but there is nothing stopping a garrison from having a Discord for non-legion related business, such as recruiting, private sales (not merch), carpooling, etc. The issue is that a Discord server is not owned by the legion and can be shut down at some point with everything in it being lost, whereas we own the forum and it has quite the history of this garrison.

So, do what you want with other tech, but sign-ups and events are to stay on this forum unless we create another forum, which also would have a substantial cost attached, I assume.

Now, if you want to replace the hundreds of Facebook messenger chats with another form of communication to coordinate carpools, etc, please feel free. But, you won't get 100% participation, just like now. Personally, I'm good without Discord and don't see that I'd want another form of messages on my phone.

Great event to meet people and make friends! I highly recommend you go if you can.

I am unable to attend. My son and I will be steelhead fishing. If there is an orange glass CCG coin up for trade... DIBS 

See you at the next one!

Your favorite GEC could probably rectify those, I'm don't recall if the list has both RL and 501st troops, so there may be some on the rebel side too.

Roster is 501st only. (I'm RL only, so I don't have a profile listed here.) Is there a RL roster somewhere?

Yes, I just found it to verify that it has the same event list. You can find it here: https://www.kashyyykbase.com/roster.php

I wonder if the RL has a similar rule about using forums? (I would guess we do, but haven't the time/energy to research just now... but if anyone already knows...?)

RL does have a similar rule: https://rebellegion.com/legion-charter/#h.deg2leib3vj1
S1.C. Unit Online Presence and Activities
All Units of the Rebel Legion must have a forum on the Rebel Legion global forum. When a new Unit is created, the Legion Webmaster will create a forum for the Unit’s members to post on. The Unit’s Commanding Officer and other designated staff will be the moderator(s) of that forum.

Who do I talk to about corrections? There are some I've done missing from that list, and one on it that I didn't do.

I can help here, too. Just shoot me a message with the details.
