08/07/22 – Lost Island Preperations
Hello everyone and welcome to the start of my journey. My last trip to lost island was not the best and I was truly nervous to go again. I recently migrated to 177 and it has truly begun to feel like home and we have been prepping for the journey. This boosted my confidence so I wanted to share how our preparations are going.
Server 177 is run by a council of chosen members to help lead us all in unity. There are communal farms for the server to level and farm for resources. This has come to a large advantage for us because we are stockpiling safe resources. We have been gathering and pushing our evolutions to be the strongest each of us can be capable of.
As some of the preparations by our alliance data has been collected on each player and if they want to participate. For those who do not wish to go they have been found a temporary home. A chart was created for those who replied to actively wishing to go(we have really amazing organized people) into a spread sheet and then open spaces started to be accounted for.
Since WoJ is one of the alliances on the server council there has also been preparations for how server will run while we are in the island. Things are being accounted for such as: determination factor of tree rotation, leaderships of alliances, and we have someone who will be recording data to the spreadsheets to keep track.
There has been a to do list assembled and it as follows:
- Herd the cats
- Discuss overall strategy and engage players on determined strategy by engaging them in the war room
- Establish member code of conduct.
- Discuss preferred time zone and see if can plan for 2 attack groups.
- Designate tower builders across timezones.
- Find optimal routes and choose fortress priorities
- Work with island goers to get proper power levels and resource stock.
- Create priority list for building enhancements.
- Set up diplomacy system so is ready for when needed such as proper tags, permissions, and diplomacy team.
Team Resolutions:
- Focus on education, not blame, We are collectively learning
- Support battlefield decisions.
- Stay flexible. Situations can call for plan and goal change.
- Keep alliance in the loop.
- Daily status reports via alliance mails to keep members updated.
- Involve whole alliance in decisions, not just leadership.
There are still final details to be hashed out but so far I believe we have a solid cohesive group that will work well together. How we preform……well that’s to be determined isn’t it lol.
As season opens i will add more data as to who we get matched with and game plan on how we proceed. Best of luck to us all!
