Tactica expansion/recruiting drive

[RazorFox]

Since Tactica's original formation earlier this year, numerous changes have taken place. The Ordo are now in possession of a two-sim base, one void, and one full. Large-scale combat has resumed (and indeed seems to be the order of the day) with other groups which now pose a more significant strategic threat. New technologies have been developed and fielded. We are in the midst of a changing battlefield, and it is ever necessary that we keep up with these changes.

This is where Tactica steps in. Through applied research and information analysis, we can ensure that our soldiers are equipped and prepared with the knowledge and tactics they need to succeed in combat in every engagement, small and large. This will include maintaining a large, comprehensive and organized database of information on a myriad of subjects ranging from enemy base layouts to exact specification on the performance of our weapons to detailed meta-data on SL itself and combat therein. It will also include a database organized pre-raid briefings that will lay out battle plans for engagements.

This is Tactica's mission. To learn, inform, and plan.

-Expansion-

These expanded roles will also lead to an expanded amount of work. Naturally, an expanded roster should also follow suit. Furthermore, it is necessary to assign different general roles to people to determine what tasks they will be assigned to undertake. The system of roles will be as follows:

Rector: The commanding officer of Tactica, responsible for overseeing all operations and aspects of the group, including the issuance of assignments, as well as communicating directly with the office of the Imperator.

Executor: The executive officer of Tactica, effectively the second in command of the group, tasked with handling roster and recruitment-related issues as well as acting as a personal aid to the Rector.

Divisional liaisons: Contacts from Astra, Terra, Munitorum, and the Frumentarii. This is to facilitate effective information exchange. The liaisons should be in close contact at all times with the Rector, so that he may distribute all information gained to the Proctors for analysis. Likewise, the Rector is also to present combat data collected to the liaisons so as to improve their respective training regimens..

Proctors: Analysts and researchers, responsible for converting information gained into a comprehensive and applicable form. This will include tasks such as analyzing client data, conceiving battle plans for enemy sims based on maps delivered by the Explorators, keeping the raid board up to date, or analyzing the performance new weaponry and technology and developing tactics around them. Proctors are generally chosen based on their knowledge of the technical aspect of combat, such as client tricks or LSL.

Explorators: Scouts and research assistants to the Proctor staff. Aside from continuing to perform Tactica's role of recon missions of enemy sims and battlegrounds, Explorators now hold the added role of aiding the Proctor staff in accomplishing their afforementioned research duties. To be an Explorator is a dynamic, exciting role which will require the ability to think on one's feet and be innovative in completing a task.

Tactica should contain one Rector, one Executor, one liaison for each of the four branches listed above, 5-10 Proctors, and 5-10 Explorators at any given time. Proctors and Explorators will work closely with one another.

At present, we are in need of Proctors, Explorators, and a motivated Executor. I will be accepting applications for Proctors and Explorators, and intend to hand-pick an Executor. If you think you have what it takes to fill the Executor position, speak to me directly about it in IMs.

The application is as follows. Simply copy it into a notecard and title it as follows:
