I've read it. Most interesting, and a bureaucratic nightmare.
Especially if everything is being calculated retroactivly, which it has to be. I'm having enough problems calculating mine - let alone anyone elses.
Ah, It's ok. I don't track my own - that honour falls to our wonderful RC. ;-)
But I have a horrible feeling that I'm not going to be eligible to play one of my Vampire characters now. Depends very much on if they're tying Gen in with MC.
I now have a dilemma though. Do I create my new character now, or wait until MC comes in? Because it will make a big difference, and I'm somewhat worried about being accused of waiting to create it in order to benefit from having more points to spend. On the other hand, if I create it now, it could be said that the person administering the new system has so little faith in it that they rush through a character under the old system. I can't win really. ;-)
Dave mentioned at the last Cambridge game that apparently And R hasn't allowed new prestige characters be created until the new system comes in or something like that.
I'm in a similar position, having currently just lost a character (Well, GAT probably ought to duck out for a bit so he's retiring for a few decades). I'll just use whatever system is there when I finish my background.
Damn you and your national/global jobs ;o) I'll probably be lucky if I get MC4, especially as I won't be DST anymore when the system comes in, which means I lose the loan (which sooo sucks, officer prestige should be a reward each month/year in office, not a pile put on top and removed again).
You've got my CV, can you do a draft for me as well and mail the result to me, please?
Did you remember to put in every time you gave someone a lift? I just gestimated and put '20' which over 2 and something years is probably conservative considering the number of times I've been taxi-man... you as well. Not to mention lodging at the fantastic hotel del langridge (ahem) just put 12 for that.
Yep, I put in "gave lifts to all and sundry to pretty much every game I attended". Let's say one away game per month, makes 12 a year, times 3 is 36. I'll probably be collecting receipts soon so I have proof...
Erm, I won't cheese it, you know me. If you think I deserve stuff for other things I've done, you're the DC, put it in.
It's simple, Ozzy: you write your Cam CV with everything you think might deserve recognition, and the Coordinator chain (ie: Robin) totals it all up, deciding on appropriate values for those things that are not covered in the Points list. So, just leave it all in the capable hands of your DC, it's then his responsibility.
How many LJs did you post this in? This is at least the second time I've seen you advocate boycott. I'm starting to wait for the Kilroy was Here jokes to hit. :)

Oh dear, I'm already getting the hang of this :(

Date: 2002-02-25 06:41 am (UTC)One more on the Cons list. Next time I'll only do 5 hours, not 12... :oP
However, at least it'll be National Prestige.
Re: Poo!
Date: 2002-02-25 06:53 am (UTC)The next question is, if you drive someone to a national event and they stay over your house afterwards - is that national prestige?

I'd still rather crush my balls in a vice than use MC.
