Volunteering as Leader!

EDIT: If you dont have a dropbox account, please dont create one yet! I can send you a refferal link and that way we can get extra storage space!

Hey all! I am volunteering to be the Leader of the project. By leader, I mean the guy who has a to-do list, and then sends jobs around to everyone, just to get a better workflow.

First of all: Is every one okay with this? If not, why?

Second: I will need a list of what every single team member is capable of. I want you to PM your capabilites to me!

Third: I will look at the ideas, and make a poll with the Main ideas. This way I can see which Idea is liked by most of us, and the idea with the highest score will be the idea that we will work further on.

And lastly, I want the different people from each workgroup (like 3D Modellers and Programmers) to talk together about the problem at hand. If one modeller gets a job that he is not capable of doing in a way that he feels is satisfying, he must talk to another modeller and switch some jobs around

Oh, and I will look into some free repository software, like Dropbox or something, so we all have acces to all the files as soon as they are done, so we can set up an effective production pipeline.

PS: I will need Moderator rights to the forum so I can make it a bit cleaner looking and such

hmmm I think you may be overstepping you bounds a bit - before you can be elected as the leader you must prove yourself to be worthy of such. What are your skills, what do you have to give to the project, whats justifies you to chose the project you want to do?

Maybe we should vote on the project we undertake - atm most ppl seem to think an old London steampunk rpg is the best way to go. (personally I'd got with a rps but thats just me)

I don't really know if posting once that you want to be the leader qualifies you.

Here's an idea,

We let him serve as "temporary leader" assuming the roles until we get this started and get to know each other better.

During this time, we'll get to know each other's strengths and give him a list of things to do. Then when we're ready, we can vote on a longer-term leader, he can of course be elected.

How many people agree with this idea?


I think some tasks we should leave for him to do right away would be:

• Make and publish a list of all members and their abilities
  
• Create a thread for us to vote on what game we're going to make
  
• Assign someone (me?) to make an official, better website
  
• Let us vote on our group's name (Many are already set on "SmokeStack Studios")

Did you read the enire post? There is a couple of lines telling you that we should vote for a project I just called it Idea instead of project

I can do a bit of 3D Modelling, I am still working on that! Also, making me the leader will not result in me not doing any modelling I will still work on that. Also, I only made this post because we need a leader, and personally I think I show a good amount of enthusiasm by creating a thread like this

Of course we can do it the democratic way and vote for a leader, or just let me be a trial leader to see how it turns out

One thing...I orginally setup this whole group (go check my post!) so I think I should be leader.

Can you make a post explaining how you will lead the team then

I agree with letting Muzz5 be temporary leader until we get the team stable. Thanks Roi for not making a problem of it.

So Muzz, can you please work on gathering a list of the team members, getting an official name voted on, and a project idea voted on? If you want me to make a better website, I will as soon as we have a name. I will probably make it for free as a (ourname).110mb.com site. I'll use PHP to protect our files with a password that we all know, and to allow us to share files on the site. If we can raise some money (like $20 to $30), I'll buy a custom domain (ourname.com) for it.

No problem mate 30 Dollars should not be that hard to raise right! I get my next paycheck soon anyways, so i might as well donate 5-10 dollars or something

We'll need a way to handle money safe, too...

Handling the money safe is no problem if we use Paypal or something

You can get a domain name for like $10.00 usually. I may have another solution however. My brother is going to be getting a web hosting server. So I could just get the domain name and do like a sub domain on it. I'm pretty sure there's a way so it doesn't have to have the .110mb.com etc in it.. with like redirecting or something.

Because I made a website for these guys http://ineffectuals.com/ back in the day and they are just a sub domain not the actual..

Yes, we could have it be like OurName.RandomHostingWebsiteExample.com for free. But to have it be just OurName.com we need to register our own domain. And you can get it for around $10, but if you want them to host it for you (like webs.com to 110mb.com) they usually host for free but charge a few bucks more for the domain.

And if you want me to make it on Webs or 110mb or whatever, we don't really need to pay for a "real" domain right away. I can make it free and not worry about a domain until the time comes.

you could also get a cz.cc for free - I have Illinc.cz.cc for instance

I'm not going to be able to help with this for a few weeks. I'm sadly going to be far too busy, so appoint whoever you want as leader in my abscence. Hopefully in the next few weeks you can decide on a project, a name etc. Anyway, Roi, you wanted to be leader - you can do it for now.

I'm also in favor of having Roi be temporary leader.

Yeah lets get some movement! and I dont want to be the leader.. Sounds too much of a pain.. I'll do the grunt work haha.
