Officer motivation

[Badass action man]

No it's not the dumbest idea ever! You wouldn't make everyone an officer you would have people standing in line for it. I assume that everyone only let officers declare war. If you had everyone becoming officers it would be madness. Just out of curiosity how many of you are leaders of factions? I have officers. I have some great officers. I'm looking for a way to keep them motivated. People need motivation.

How about if a person is an officer there could be a ltq on how many wars they declare. Has the potential to shag up a war but would be another aspect that would have to be managed. Real show of leadership.

get them to set challenges for the faction, i usually put up a donation challenge between wars to keep everybody interested(for bragging rights), or if there is a faction ltq on issue a challenge, let ur guys get creative, who can improve their stats by the biggest % margin. Ur only limited by ur creativity. we hav other officers who issue challenges, jus a good way to promote morale when gree is doing their best to destroy it.

for me declaring war is a chore not a reward. im in Aus so i run the "night" shift for my crew as the time zone thingy works beta for me. As OIC coordinating and strategising fall into ur lap n u figure a plan as to how we r gonna pound this next crew!

Thanks for the suggestions. Good to have a conversation going on this. I have some most of that in the past. Maybe it's time to bring it back. Thanks for that.

I was a faction leader for a long time.
We assigned each officer an extracurricular activity. Such as recruiting, communications, intel, finance, etc.

The perk ? We had a special chatroom for officers. It was perverts row. No holds barred discussion of game theory, tv shows, and my nipple. Not only that for a long time we did interfaction competitions with teams vying for the Charlie Cup, where officers were team leaders. We held a fantasy draft of all faction members. We also used to do an awards show with the officers as judges. And only officers can declare war/lead a war.

There are ways of keeping up motivation and morale. It just takes some creativity and time.

I agree. It's up to the leader or leaders to find ways to motivate the rest of the faction.

Off topic. We battled you yesterday... Good job.
