What a month.
With July over, I feel it is time to reflect on the past month, and set goals for the one ahead.
I believe strongly, that as a community going forward, we look back at what has happened, and look forward to what lies ahead,
We can not change what has happened in the last month, but we can shape and control almost everything that happens in the next 30 odd days.
Over the past month, there as usual have been ups and there have been downs, everywhere, not only in the community, not only on Altis Life. Every where, all around the world, there have been difficulties and better yet, positives.
Everyone in the community, staff, non-staff, new member, veteran member, donator, non-donator. Everyone has been a part of the past month, every will hopefully be a part of the next.
Reflection;
Donations; This month, the donations were in a bit of a pickle, there were some difficulties early on, but then, I think it was in less then a week, the community banded together, especially Altis Life to reach almost every servers goal, certainly payed for all servers this month. There are two main factors behind that. 1) @Spectral wouldn't have been possible without him. 2) The Donators, Trueblue, Dean to name a couple.
3 Weeks of Fun; The man himself, @Spectral put on 3 consecutive weeks of events, THREE WEEKS! Unfortunatley personally I couldn't attend all of them as most started past my computer time (of a week day ;)). They were just given such a big rap on the forums, around my gang, numbers were high, screenshots were capturing, the lot. Amazing events just from what I heard let alone attending them all! Gangs; This month saw a few new gangs, a few old gangs get some players back, not only that, the outstanding gangs prior to this month only got better; SP and PNX definitely developed over the past month, the rivalry became mate Vs mate, banter was controlled and moderated into perfect portions and sting, the whole SP - PNX competition really developed into a real Australian attitude, Ainc need less to say, they continued to perform their legal crusade with absolute perfection and high levels of RP.
Staff; Staff were on point, this months administration and moderation seemed to work a charm, I can say for certain there was a lot less trolls and rule breakers around, credit goes out to them!
More Personal reflection;
Over the past month, I am quite pleased as to where Pope and myself have gotten our Cartel to. We cleaned up house, we decided to make positions in our cartel valued, cracked down on our members and ensured there was no members causing the Altis Life or Helpdesk staff any issues, making sure we were RP'ing to the best of our abilities, working with the cops, through thick and thin, this month definitely had a lot more ups and downs with the Police, however we stayed true and sorted those with no issue and are still working closely to date.
My goals for this month will be very limited community based considering I will only be here till the 11th and wont be back till September 4th... RIP me.. :'( I will miss you all.
However for the short time I am here, I hope to continue expanding and developing the Phoenix Cartel, simply just have to be continuously on my toes and thinking of new ways to enhance the cartel in general.
What did you achieve? What do you want to achieve? Put it out there, public record, set this months goals - look back and think what you have to change to get away from the past and into a better future, or what you have to do to maintain where you are now?
Please leave a comment with what you are proud to have achieved this month and what you want to achieve in the upcoming!
