Groups

When I was running for Executive Council, almost every candidate expressed their desire for a "Group" system. This was proposed as it seemed that Aquila was falling behind when it came to the tech tree, a problem that we still have now. As such, we feel that Groups would benefit us greatly.

How it works

Several groups will be created, each focused on certain goals. Members of each group will have to meet a certain quota based on the group's goals. Each group will be organized by a leader, who will be chosen by the Executive Council from the list of applicants. Note: The state will not be forcing anybody into a Group, and the system is entirely opt-in. However, if turnout is particularly low, we may need to take further action.

The groups that have been agreed upon thus far are as follows:

Agriculture: Will provide food for the nation, as well as materials for factories and general development. This includes crop, tree, and animal farming. Due to the nature of RealisticBiomes, this group will operate across all shards. Example tasks: Setting up a potato farm in Tjikko, Gathering 5 stacks of spruce wood, etc.

Hunting: Will kill mobs for their drops. Members must be willing to work in different shards, as some mobs (e.g. Ghasts, Wither skeletons) spawn only in certain shards. Example task: Gathering 2 stacks of rotten flesh, setting up a mob grinder, etc.

Mining: Will mine for materials necessary for factories and general development. Must be willing to travel in order to reach shards with certain resources. Example tasks: Gathering 3 stacks of iron ore, clearing an area underground, etc.

Infrastructure: Will build factories, defenses and infrastructure around Aquila. Example tasks: Finish building the canals, Repair factories, etc

Defense: Slightly different to the other groups, and not a top priority. A member of this group is still able to join other groups, as it will not always be active. If you are interested in learning to pvp more effectively, members of this group will have training sessions. Service would include being ready and able to defend Aquila in the case of a raider attack.

There will likely be more groups in the future as our needs expand. Tools will be provided to group members, to a certain degree; Don't expect an efficiency pickaxe as soon as you join the Mining team.
