Silver Meridoc Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 One thing i find very annoying is when i want to do Merit/Award recommendations, i tend to forget just what merits people have. I know this sounds silly, but its becoming rather problematic in my opinion. To help, and this is optional, its useful to put your Ordo rank, uni designation, branch, merits and awards in a Pick choice in your Profile, that way people can see what you have received and don't give you doubles.

Cyphre Iredell Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 This is the reason we have the database. Anyone is welcome to make a merit recommendation for anyone, and then Aryte can take a look at what someone has to determine whether or not they already have it, in the instance of things like Combat Prowess having a second stage.

Keystone Gray Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I place all of my awards into my profile as well. It's a wise practice, because when officials look into your profile, they're looking for these things. I have done so myself on multiple occasions to help myself decide who deserves which reward come meeting day, and to see if they already have it. (BECAUSE SUBORDINATES WHO GET REWARDS ARE EXCEPTIONAL, AND EXCEPTIONAL PEOPLE HAVE DONE MANY EXCEPTIONAL THINGS :D).I'd recommend everyone do it, but it's not a mandatory thing. Just make sure you don't lie in there, because you can get in trouble for it. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyphre Iredell Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Just make sure you don't lie in there, because you can get in trouble for it. ;)And you won't get those merits if people think you have them already? XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Itamae Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I never really touch anything in my profile, but I might do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lestat Umarov Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I'm not gonna do it because my picks are full to be honest and I already have all my merits listed on the staff database. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Meridoc Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 Personally i thank everyone for taking this into consideration. indeed its all on database, but we all cant gain access to that easily, i admit i always have trouble trying. Making a simple dossier of your merits makes giving you more a bit easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiridates Mikadze Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 There's an issue I'd like to point out with this: It's like handing out candy to people who are collecting information on the Ordo.This gives certain people in the Ordo headaches, when they do.

Akurei Sieyes Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 (edited) There's an issue I'd like to point out with this: It's like handing out candy to people who are collecting information on the Ordo.This gives certain people in the Ordo headaches, when they do.What rank you are or what merits you have doesn't really seem like the sort of crippling sensitive information that would be of any value to a would be enemy. :/ Anyone who takes a handbook knows what the merits and ranks are.

Tiridates Mikadze Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Reveals organizational information, and can help someone prioritize targets for blackmail, investigation, etc, etc.Do it if you feel you really need to, but I'm uncomfortable with the idea.

Anybody with half a brain knows that having "The Ordo Imperialis - Administratio" in your groups means you're important.2. Is anyone out there really smart enough to orchestrate stuff like that? Seems like usually people who don't like us/actually want to hurt the group just IM Aryte and be all "HEY ALRITE VESPARIA YOUR A GAY BABY. :durr: " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiridates Mikadze Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Assuming the qualities of our opposition opens ourselves up to a whole world of hurt. You'd only need a meagerly clever individual to do any of the priorly mentioned activities.I don't like giving them anything more than we absolutely must.

Cyphre Iredell Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Thing is Tiri, the only ones putting up this information would be the enlisted.Either way, if you haven't put your merits into the database yet... do so. >:O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
