Unit-by-unit Fleets Reports
---------------------------

Years ago, in the times when ASR units had a gamemaster, there was a
resource, called weekly-reports, that gamemasters or XOs had to send
in to their respective CINCs. These reports of the happenings of the
unit were then sent to the units.

This way, everybody could know what was going on in other units of
their same Fleet and even in other Fleets.

I think this was a valuable resource. It allowed everybody to know
what was going on around them without the time-burden of reading all
the posts in the newsgroups. It also allowed people to find
interesting threads to follow if they found the time and interest.
They were also a vehicle for uniting story arcs and creating shared
backgrounds from which new plots could be drawn.

It was also a valuable tool for getting new players, as they could
read on the newsgroup what was going on in the different Fleets and
get an idea of the kind of wonderful gaming experience we have in
ASR. And once a new player had passed through ALB training, he could
have an easy method to look for the units he or she may be interested
in playing and thus issuing better preferences to the COMALB and CSFO
in SB ALPHA.

This proposal calls for the RT to issue a recommendation to Fleet
Commanders and units COs to resume this practice on a regular basis
and commit to make a recopilation of unit reports available to all
players through public posting or publication on a web site.

The RT should probably recommend a frequency for such unit and Fleet
reports to be posted. A quartely posting rate is recommended, as it
will give time enough for enough things to happen in all units and not
to be a burden to anyone involved.

This proposal also extends an invitation to the Flag Council to keep
regularly posting news related to the Fleets or any of its branches
and made them available through the ASR web site to all the players.
