I had to moan sooner or later

robinblokeI am viewing the incoming Prestige system with not a small amount of dread.
I am a DC2, and the notion of the beaucratic maintenance of around 30-40 characters' prestige fills me with horror and annoyance.
Worse still, I've not really got a clue what exactly it is beyond second hand rumour - nor had any kind of input to it when I'm expected to manage the damn thing - and I have to manage it when it comes out.
I became DC as we needed someone to organise venues, payments, ads, reports, complaints and suchlike. Not to keep track of everyones house points so they could make goobier characters.
Problem is I don't really know anyone else (immediately to mind) who could be DC or I'd probably quit DC in protest when the system comes in.
I hate beaucracy.

Date: 2002-02-22 04:06 am (UTC)As for how exactly you're supposed to work with the new system, I suggest you speak to Dave Wade.
I assume there will be a handy guide to conversion or something like that. I'm not a *C and I never want to be, especially not now.
BTW, did you get my pitiful Prestige CV?

Date: 2002-02-22 05:56 am (UTC)I'm halfway between 'I can't be arsed to do it and won't in protest' and 'dammit, do yourself a favour and get a gooby character clearance'
Bureuacratic nightmare indeed
Date: 2002-02-22 05:20 am (UTC)But whatever the system is, I'm going to use it to create my new C/A Primary. I think it's important that the people who have to enforce the new system are seen to have a degree of faith in it.
And maybe it's time you got an ADC? Because it does sound like our jobs are going to get more complex.

Date: 2002-02-22 06:37 am (UTC)As long as the date you actually joined is sorted. There are people like NST Jason who joined in 95 but have a 500 number. Rob H joined over a year before me and his number is only 70 lower...
Monty quite happily backdated mine to the date I actually sent off my app (mind you, I was one of the lucky few with only 3 months between application and receipt of membership).
Speak to your DC or even better RC (Tracey), as she's been handling memberships of late.
However, as soon as the move over to WW happens (and I doubt it won't) we'll all have new numbers, anyway.
Re: Bureuacratic nightmare indeed
Date: 2002-02-22 07:32 am (UTC)Oh, and as an asise - does anyone know what's going to happen to all our 16-17 year old players, seeing as they can't actually join WW-cam until their 18th birthday?

Date: 2002-02-22 08:20 am (UTC)I'll pass that on to the masses.
Saves me posting the querie to UK-General and provoking a spam-fest. ;-)

Date: 2002-02-22 07:45 am (UTC)I'd post mine here but I use my work email for Cam and don't want it given to all and sundry...
Err... think of something :)

Re: WHOAH NELLIE!
Date: 2002-02-22 08:47 am (UTC)Oh and thanks; finally someone else who says "Whoah Nellie"
Re: WHOAH NELLIE!
Date: 2002-02-22 08:58 am (UTC)Now, are you going to help me man the barricades and Damn The Man? ;)

Be thankful

Date: 2002-02-22 09:06 am (UTC)You'll be responsible for handing out regional prestige.
However, that's the theory...
Re: Be thankful
Date: 2002-02-22 03:04 pm (UTC)I'll have you know the Central DC team does a wonderful job at all times.
Well - the bits I'm involved in anyway. ;-)
