Community Announcements / Harsh Facts
« on: May 12, 2018, 02:14:19 am »
Good morning folks (as of the time of writing this),

The Earth's Elite Senior Staff are due to convene for a meeting within the next week, Friday 18th @ 3PM Community Time (BST), this is probably going to be one of the most important senior meetings we've ever held.  We're not only discussing the usual day to day operational subjects, but instead, we'll be facing the harsh facts of Earth's Elite.

We are well aware that since day one, EE hasn't every really succeeded.  Sure, some events have had good turn outs, etc etc, but overall our overage event attendance is 1 or 2, yes, I fully respect that EE isn't judged solely on it's events, there's a whole lot more going on, but even if we still look at the community utilisation of the services offered, it's either by guests or 1 or 2 members, for all intents and purposes, EE is dead.

Something I have said from day one, I will never close the community and I will never merge Earth's Elite into another community, this still holds true today.

The difference between this time last year and this year is massive.  For example, Friday 11th May to Sunday 13th May 2018 should have been Venture Radio's Big Weekend.  Third Annual, but, it isn't.  After having been planned for months, time off work booked (at least by myself), we were never able to get it off the ground.  (Just in case you're wondering, Venture Radio is run by EE and SSRF jointly, making VR an organisation under the EE banner).  This truly upsets me (and not just because I have wasted a valuable day of annual leave from work for it), this is something I truly enjoy doing, but, we couldn't.

On Friday 18th the Seniors and I will discuss where we go from here, how do we turn this around.  We are celebrating our 5 year anniversary this year, 5 years ago when I began working on the Earth's Elite project (yup, EE was already in the pipelines in May 2013), where I visioned the community would be 5 years from her launch, definitely was not here, we're actually in a worse place than where we started (silver lining - we achieved something at least).

I don't want this to be a wall of text and I've already done the whole "We need your help" thing and that hasn't worked, so, to be brief.  If you have any ideas, please post them below, if you have the drive to help rebuild a battered and broken community, contact me directly here - https://earthelite.co.uk/mailer.php?emid=11 - You don't need to dedicate money etc to help us out, but we do need people with enough time and dedication to EE.

After the meeting next week the seniors will have an action plan and this action plan will have an "if all else fails" clause.  This is forewarning, if we have not been able to turn the community around (or there are no signs of this happening) Earth's Elite will, in January 2019, reduce staffing to Senior Staff, and begin what we are calling a wind down.  We will run in limited operations for a year (allowing various services EE hosts to expire) and we will reduce ourselves to what can run on the main EE server and nothing else, making December 31st 2019 the official last operating day of EE.  This is our worst case scenario and I do not want to have to enact the wind down clause.

So if you can help, please, I implore you to step forward now, be it a simple idea, to joining the EE staff (note, all staff position may be changing, you're submitting interest not candidacy at this time).

If you got this far, thank you.  Below is the full agenda the Senior Staff will be discussing next week (certain parts have been redacted).

April 2018 / 2018 Donations
« on: April 06, 2018, 04:01:55 am »
As it is April, we are looking to raise enough money to keep Earth's Elite running for another year.

We normally do this by asking for half of £122 in November and then the remainder in April, to try and split it up.  Last year in November we weren't able to raise any money towards our running costs for this year.

Our 100% goal is £122.  As this is such a large number I am pledging 25% of this, £35.50, outright.  I also pledge to match users first time donations (for this donation period) up to £10 until the 100% goal is met or the 24 hour event is over, which ever comes first.

By donating to EE you receive VIP status and if you donate during the 24 hour event, you can give a member of staff an order (see the 24 hour event thread for details on this).

Those who donate will be entered into a raffle to win a prize.  Currently there is only one prize which is £10 worth of games, if you have something that you would like to donate to the prize pool, please post below or PM me directly.

Thank you in advance to anyone who donates or is considering donating.

It's almost that time of year again, Earth's Elite's 4th annual Spring 24 hour event.

Last year we tried a new event schedule style, while some agreed that it worked, others did not, therefore, this year the April event will be returning to the old scheduling style, players choice is still available in sections of the scheduling and is always our backup for the schedule, however, the schedule will be followed more closely this time around, like past years have been.  This seems to have worked best for us in the past and seems to make for a more enjoyable experience all round.  Otherwise we might end up playing Farming Simulator for 12 hours again and keep revoting to play it.

As usual, the event will start at 7PM Community Time on Friday 6th April and end 7PM Community Time the next day, the event will be streamed live on Twitch.

Milestones and orders, these will of course be making a return this year.  Senior Staff (and general EE Staff if they wish to do so) will create milestones for 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of our donation goal, as we hit each goal we'll 'celebrate' by carrying out our milestone task.  Note, if you cannot perform your milestone on stream, it should be completed within 2 weeks of the events conclusion.
You can also submit orders to the senior and general staff of Earth's Elite with any donation of £5+.

Same promotion points system will be in place for those attending.

Every 1 Hour = 10 Promotion Points
First 6 consecutive Hours = X2 Multiplier
Second 6 Consecutive Hours = X3 Multiplier
Third 6 Consecutive Hours = X4 Multiplier
Fourth 6 Consecutive Hours = X5 Multiplier

If you last the full 24 hours we'll award you a special X12 Multiplier on top of the above multipliers, you could potentially receive 86,400 Promotion Points.  Senior Staff are eligible to receive these promotion points, but will have to give them away during the P&A ceremony in November.

The event schedule can be found here - https://earthelite.co.uk/info_content.php?id=00034

Community Announcements / 2017 Mug Sale
« on: March 11, 2018, 04:37:16 pm »
My apologies for the late announcement of this.  At the time of writing this the first wave or printing has already been completed.

Earth's Elite was supposed to release a 2017 mug last year, around November, but due to budget constraints we were unable to release it last year.  We had decided that we would release two this year as a result, one around now (March/April) and then on in November, which is when it should be released.

We released the 2017 mug about a week ago, unlike last year, the campaign will run until we end it.  We will keep the campaign running on this limited edition mug until one week after the April 24 hour event (13/04/2018).  They will print and ship every 3 days.

Earth's Elite will be making no profit on these mugs, we are selling them at cost price, so to speak, so you pay the least amount as possible.

You can take a look and purchase 2017's mug here - TEESPRING.COM/ee-mug-2017.

Any issues, you can of course contact the senior staff, but if it regarding the shipping or an issue with the mug itself (damaged, etc), you will need to direct your queries to Teespring themselves.

Over the last few days, EE and TLO have been discussing merging our RPG-X divisions, today, we have done just that.

RPG-X from now on will be headed up by TLO, events will be cross promoted.  Our server will be loaned to TLO as part of this partnership.

We will still have an RPG-X division, per se, but it will be ran by TLO.  In time, we hope to have more games setup in this partnership to help support both communities and secure our futures.

The Senior Staff and I are hoping this partnership will see both communities flourish and help provide a better service to you, our members.

This announcement will remain unlocked and myself and the seniors will be on hand to answer any questions you may have, I am including the EE-TLO Partnership Agreement below.

Yeah, it was.  If you'd made the full 24 hours I would have done a facecam stream soon after dressed as Bowie, makeup and all.
