Daily Duties of a Diplomacy Officer

Generally, this would be the daily duties of a Diplomacy officer (ideally):

Check the Applications on the forums/Send Invites
- "Briefly tell us about one of the characters you want to roleplay or have roleplayed in the past, as well as your experience with roleplay." is the most important question to check, make sure they have some brief detail or a small idea of what they want to roleplay as. It doesn't have to be an essay, just looking for any small detail.

Approve them if they meet our expectations (only if you can add them in game at the same time), if they don't meet the expectations, ask them politely for what they are missing

Zone Ads
-After checking pending applications, then go around the zones, and start doing zone ads. Don't spam the chat, just send the message once, wait a couple minutes in case anyone has a question, then move onto the next zone.

-This can also be done while just playing the game normally, and sending out ads in the zone you happen to be in while questing.

-Zone ad templates can be found under "Zone Advertisements" in The Diplomacy Hub: http://blueskooma.com/forum/page/1/m/22417574/viewthread/16905679-diplomacy-department-central-hub-under-construction

example: This one would like to invite you to come join us in the growing city of Vulkwasten. Where beasts, men and mer, could become involved in many jobs and activities to help the city and of course.. one's self. ((If roleplaying in a community full of friends, that has been running since launch, check out www.blueskooma.com and sign up!))

Paying attention to our Other Sites
When/If you have spare time, checking our other sites/updating them with information is very valuable too. These sites are listed on the Diplomacy Hubs first page as well. Anook, Teso RP, Official ESO forums, Reddit, Facebook.

Bumping these sites is a good way to get exposure for us as well. Make sure to but something pertaining to the guild though not just "bump". Possibly a picture and caption, maybe with a little story of what is going on in the picture, or something interesting happening in the guild RP. Be creative with how you bump the threads and put us further in the public eye!

Zone Advertisements

These advertisements are not "required" to be used, you are more then welcome to create your own! If you come up with an interesting one, mail me and I'll add it to this list of templates.

General Guild Advertisement #1
After a year of <<Roleplaying>> Blue Skooma Roleplayers is continuing it's search to welcome new members into our family! If a well established guild with friendly members, a weekly raffle/live auction, and an expansive story piques your interest, then take a look at www.blueskooma.com and sign up today!

Cross Faction Guild Advertisement
Interested in <<ROLEPLAYING>>? The Blue Skooma Roleplayers guild of the <<Aldmeri Dominion>> Alliance is look for new members! With expanding town wide RP, <<LIVE AUCTIONS>> @ 10PM EST on Saturdays in Marbruk, and more! For more info & to sign up go to http://www.blueskooma.com today!

Auction/Raffle
Greetings everyone! <Blue Skooma Roleplay> is hosting their famous weekly auction at 10pm EST in Marbruk! Also you can purchase tickets to the 50/50 raffle, cost is 500g each and send em to @Ice_Eye! If you have any questions msg this one!


Rotation Times

Another option besides these rotation times is to ask in guildchat/officer chat if anyone has done any zone runs before you start them. Just make sure we don't do them so often as to annoy players.

Guild and auction advertisement:
- Even hours EST
- hold off 2 hours before and during the auction
- done by: Herfi (normally on 8 to 12, I may onlyrics have time for 1 or 2 runs)

Auction and 50 / 50 raffle
- odd hours EST
- done by: Ice Eye
- done more frequently in guild chat
- done every hour, 2 hours before the auction and at the start

We could use more volunteers or officers to advertise during prime time hours (4 pm to 7pm) . If folks want to advertise please do ONE OR THE OTHER. Doing both from the same name could lead to a negative image of the guild being spammers or starting a grieferfest. Similarly do not over advertise, keep to the schedule and one person at a time. Less is better IMO

A flyer has been posted on the bulliten boards of the Aldmeri Dominion cities, it reads:

~The beautiful forest city of Vulkwasten would like to announce that we are seeking to grow. production of rotmeth is taking off, caravaans to Bandaari trade post, and to the city of Woodhearth regularly, a bustling tavern and new opportunities around every corner. To continue to grow, we are requesting more people of all races and occupation to come join our family in Vulkwasten.~

OCC: Blue Skooma Roleplayers have adopted a city style roleplay. Where everyone has an opportunity to take part and help, from farmers, merchants and hunters, to fences, sellswords, and mages!

About Us
Aldmeri Dominion NA Server
Blue Skooma Roleplayers is a large and organized Roleplay Guild that aims to provide a place for any type of character to tell their story. We have hundreds of helpful & experienced members, awesome Roleplay storylines, busy forums, and ESO's first and only weekly auction. We use our guildchat for OOC conversations, offer a Teamspeak server to use for whatever purposes you have, as well as an active website full of forum roleplay, contests, and conversation.

Roleplay
We do our best to ensure that Blue Skooma Roleplayers offers fluid roleplay. Fluid roleplay is non-scripted story arcs that allow every member to have an impact on how things play out. We want our guild to be a home for any type of character you can come up with, so we offer a lot in the way of titles, settings, and events to distinguish your character.
We provide Guild Roleplaying events that alter the Guild Storyline, those story-arcs are determined by a group of RP Officers, but the outcomes are always defined as the event goes. We want you all to have a part on the outcome of those events and allow the characters freedom to act as they want, as long as the rules of conduct are observed.

Leadership
Our Guild Leader and the Officer Team work to maintain a positive environment and keep the drama where it belongs: in roleplay. They review applications, organize events and try to take care of the everyday work required of a major guild. You can also count on the weekly newsletter to keep you informed of In-Character and Out-Of-Character developments. As well as have a seasoned Master of Coin, that helps us repeatedly obtain a guild trader. All of our ranks are strictly OOC to promote a fluid roleplay environment.

Events
BSR offefrs an evolving guild story, along side other events such as contests, lotteries, and the lucrative weekly live auction. Members themselves are also free (and encouraged) to create their own events, for their own storylines, and include others into their story ideas. We have an officer team always ready to moderate, help and guide members in their endeavors.

BSR Auction Raffle Website Forum Advertisement


The Auction
Hey everyone, I am @Elridge in game, a senior officer of the guild Blue Skooma Roleplayers. We would like to extend an invitation to our weekly live auctions held every Saturday in the Merchants' Plaza of Marbruk, Greenshade at 7pm PST. We auction different assortment of items every week, while giving out prizes throughout the event.



Soul Raffle
We also do what we call the 50/50 Soul Raffle, previously exclusive to guild members, which is now completely open to the public!

What is a 50/50 Raffle?
What we do is we charge 500 gold for a ticket, 250 gold goes towards the guild coffers and 250 gold goes into the jackpot. We do this throughout the week and announce the winner at the auction. there is also a runner up prize of assorted items that vary every week.

Slowing down somewhat on new posts due to a busy schedule, checking current posts but unable to post new ones at this time. Noticed a few successful pulls from the ESO Official forums, based on the feedback on applications.


In-Game Advertisements

Still working on a schedule for a more organization on zone ads


Cross Guild RP

Things are going great with Kin of the Shadow Phoenix, they have told us to come join them in RP at the arena anytime (reminder that their guild is 18+ so expect mature content)

The Veiled Legacy is still looking for people to RP with, this is an Altmer RP group. That kinda narrows the field for us since we don't have too many Altmer in our guild (that I see at least) but if any of them would like to, contact @Faerveren she is still looking.

Changes to the Hub

The Roleplay Map was given it's own section due to the importance of the link, note that not all on the map are affiliated with us

Guidelines Created

1) File reports on major disputes resulting in a ban, or conflict OOC in cross guild RP (mind you that this does not happen often, in the past 3 months or so, I've only had to do a report once)

2) Check the Diplomacy Hub when you can, it is constantly being updated, new information coming in, and old information changing

3) Help keep an eye on, and bump threads on other sites that we run ads, links provided in the Diplomacy Hub

4) Diffuse arguments/prevent arguments by stopping sensitive subject conversations in guildchat

5) Know our status with guild alliances

It is not mandatory, but a recommendation that diplomacy officers branch out and speak a fair amount in guildchat, and get to know our members. Diplomacy can't do much without making friends :P

Out of Game Ads

Re-posted advertisements on Anook, and soon the Official ESO forums, for the Woodhearth Hub Crossguild RP (Aldmeri Dominion guilds are attempting to create a central location for guilds to come together and join RP here)

Cross Guild Info

Elsy helped talk to the SCC after an incident of members being poached, dissuaded from joining BSR and roleplaying in S'renja.

The violator was @Sycon420 who was banned from BSR months ago (by Phoenixthekid) for being continuously rude, and disrespectful towards our members. He was then denied entry into SCC and was attempting to create hostilities between our guilds by claiming to be one of them. He was approaching our members to direct them to Bandaari and the SCC. If you see him around S'renja ignore him IC and warn people OOC. This was not the first case of this happening and he is suspected to return. Please do note, he has no affiliation to SCC

Documentation of his ban here: http://blueskooma.com/forum/m/22417574/viewthread/16050993-kick-sycon420

Woodhearth Event

The event was successful for many guilds, I think this could be an ongoing event for BSR to join in on, and possibly host our own events there occasionally.

Changes to the Hub

Woodhearth Hub events added in, as well as a link to the TESO RP thread where it is being discussed.

Now that the Holidays are over and we are currently undergoing some changes, most of our advertisements have been put on a slight hold, until we know exactly what we want to do, and we set up a good foundation. That being said I have worked on a couple of new advertisements to be used after our changes are in effect

Improvements

Number of applications that mention zone chat recruitment, and officers by name have increased!

Change in Tactics

Recent runs through the zones have taken 1hr 30mins+ due to a recent change I have implemented. Instead of jumping from zone to zone placing the zone ad once, I have been chatting, then placing the ad, and waiting around for another 5+min in that particular zone to answer any questions that were sent over /zone instead of /whisper

This hopefully will draw more attention, putting a friendly face to the ad, while also improving our relations with the community.

As for the cross faction ad, I think the one listed on the first post of the thread is the one you came up with months ago. I don't actually have any characters outside of Aldmeri Dominion, so I don't generally change that one other then minor tweaks. I don't have any variation of the cross faction ads that I prefer, so if you want to update your message just go for it. If you could copy and paste it here so I can update it as well would be great, that way others can use it if they wanted to :)

Hmm a banner might be a cool idea, I'll ask Elsy about that at the next meeting... I suck with the artistic stuff haha

Feb 18, 2015 at 06:10 PM #29
Elsy has taken up the job to do the parchment. She has a very particular set of skills... that involve graphic design.

As for the auction, this is something we can revisit, before certain people didn't want us to focus on advertising that, to avoid trolls and people joining the guild just to sell their stuff through us. I don't think that is an issue since we accept items from people outside the guild, and trolls will be trolls anyways. Do you want to work up a written draft for an auction parchment and we can post it at the next meeting? Then we can see if Elsy can post it to the paper again.

Attempted to get ahold of the leader of The Merethic Eye about a possible alliance, like we talked about last week however I received no response.

I've contacted Gina about this (changing the contact info), however received no response, if I don't hear back in the next couple days, I will send the info to someone else.

Elridge, Hey guys, I'm back from my short leave! I had to take a week off due to some family stuff but I'm back and ready to go :D

Ro'john has also stated he will be around more often now that he is back too!

KateMo has left the guild, no reason was given, just a nice little goodbye in the guildchat. Hope you have fun with whatever you are up to Kate! Thanks for pulling me away from the wall of the tavern when I joined the guild all that time ago :P

Melane has been trained as to how to accept applications to the guild


Zone ads

The general advertisement has been replaced now that we have spent a decent deal of time in Vulkwasten. The new advertisement focuses on welcoming new members into our long standing family.

Interested in <<Roleplaying>>? Blue Skooma Roleplayers is about to turn a year old and we are looking to welcome new members into our family! If a well established guild with friendly members, a weekly raffle/live auction, and an expansive story piques your interest, then take a look at www.blueskooma.com and sign up today!


RP Clothes For EVERYONE!

So yesterday a member of Ice_Eye's trading guild donated a load of RP clothes to our guild, he came to us during RP in the tavern to offload a crate of clothes that "fell" off a carriage. If you see his character Zaid around Vulkwasten be sure to wave hello! I am currently holding the clothes on a mule character as to not flood our bank and to pass them out to those who need them at any point. He said he will continue to supply us with RP clothes that he finds :D

Herfi is currently working on a video to showcase RP in ESO, we need to set a day and advertise it so that he can come film us for a short time. Doesn't have to be a "major" event.

Melane has been taking care of applications the past couple days while I was busy

By the amount of applications we received while I was gone as well, I could only assume that zone runs continued on as normal.


RP Clothes For EVERYONE!

Another large donation of Roleplay clothes has been made to the guild by Zaid, one of Ice_eye's friends from his trading guild. I will be listing the items in guild chat throughout the days offering them up for free just as they have been given to us.

ZoS using old information

It seems ZoS was still using old information when helping us advertise the auction. My last attempt to update them did'nt yield any results, so I tried again, this time yelling to any of them who would listen :P annnd they responded. Latest response:

Response By Email (Josh) (04/20/2015 02:03 PM)
Greetings,

Just a quick update:

I just received a notice that it has reached the appropriate individual for any adjustments to be made, but they are out of the office today. I'll continue to monitor the progress of my e-mail and update you accordingly.

Thanks again for your patience and hope you have a wonderful day.

Best regards,

Additional Information: They did not tell me yet that it was necessary but they did say we could "possibly" need the guildmaster to email them and give the ok for these changes.


A Friendly Hand

Forest Guardian, the leader of the Bramblescar Clan and the creator of the TESO RP Roleplay map, had his guild spotlighted by ZoS this week. A congratulations message was sent and a thank you for his work on the roleplay map, which has helped us out in the past.


Facebook Advertisement

It seems when ZoS advertised on auction on their main page we had a good increase in applications listing Facebook, as their first point of contact.

Tamriel Chronicle Issue #84

Blue Skooma Domain

After a short conversation about the domain name with Ri'Sari he released the domain name so that I may pick up ownership, however I was informed by the provider that the name will be in limbo and unable to purchase by the public for 30-60+ days Xo because of this, if we want the old domain name, we will have to wait. (message of the day has been changed to reflect this)


Blue Skooma Teamspeak

After the domain was changed, our teamspeak that was linked to the domain name went down, this was resolved by a quick support ticket to enjin. The new teamspeak address is blueskooma.enjinvoice.com make sure to change the link for your bookmark (message of the day has been changed to reflect this)

We have a large number this week, from many different sources including Zone chats, ESO RP Podcast, and Facebook.

Added a bit to the Daily Duties of a Diplomacy Officer, to give ideas on what can be done to help us.

"Bumping these sites is a good way to get exposure for us as well. Make sure to but something pertaining to the guild though not just "bump". Possibly a picture and caption, maybe with a little story of what is going on in the picture, or something interesting happening in the guild RP. Be creative with how you bump the threads and put us further in the public eye!"

*doesn't feel like doing fancy things to make it look nice can do that later maybe*

If it isn't known, I am the new master of diplomatic actions (senior diplomacy officer), and the one who decided to contact our connection to the trading guilds that hosted the games at the event, so such a thing could happen. While we are on topic of stuff I've been doing I've done a lot of site work in the past weeks and if there is something wrong that you want fixed You can bring it up with me, since I know many of the other people hwo have full admin capabilities are often very busy.

Our Harvest's End Festival went fantabulous and I myself talked to a few people got some people in other guilds on my friend list and we got maybe 3 members that night. Though there were a few communication problems with the money we were given, overall it was a great success and most importantly we got ourselves back on the radar. Many, many people thought Blue Skooma died beforehand.

Also, if you know of someone who is already on the site and wants to join or are one of those people, posting in the shoutbox with your @name will suffice, seeing you already fullfilled the application. Your name's record will be asked about, seeing i was not literally in the guild for quite a long time. Also this way i know how to contact you via enjin and not have to dig through names

So, totally not related to me not being online much this week due to both IRL and preparation for The Taken King (Destiny, and my second favorite game (franchise) only topped by TES), we have not had many new members or diplomatic things happen, in fact, we did get a new member, but I'm not even completely sure I logged on and invited them since a week ago, I'll check that after posting this.

Also, It would be nice if we could get one semi-active diplomacy officer, because sometimes it's hard, running a one man army. (and our other higher ups (officer+) have many a job to do other than make sure I don't miss something diplomatic based, seeing im a forgetful person)
