Instead of trying to figure out what makes you guys tick, I thought it may be easier to just ask you. 
So, what do you think you would like to see the VE doing to improve yours/others activity?
Post any type of suggestion, but be specific. Try not to be vague by saying "more gaming competitions". Get into depth and say what game, which server(s) (if any), etc.
Also, state what you like to do, storywise. Do you like the long chapters, long stories, or would you prefer stories that can essentially be wrapped up in 2-3 days and be split up into sections instead of massive storylines?
Anyway, go all out here. It's going to help the SLs and above to determine what to do to increase activity. -----------------------

All right. I was just popping in to check things out, i'll probably be back here again next Saturday for the same purpose.
My suggestion is that we make some sort of poll, to know what kind of stories the Troopers like best. For example, if we had to choose between storie like :
1) We discover a new planet in one of the systems , like a dwarf planet and its inhabitants
2) A group of Troopers was off on a mission, when something made the group change to a mini-mission which was more important than the one they were supposed to be doing
3) a reconnaissance mission
4) An infiltration mission
And 4 had the most votes we would do that one first and we would do the one that had the second most votes after this one was finished, and we just dumped the two remaining ones.
Was just an idea, hope i didn't confues you guys too much -----------------------

Joint army/navy missions and larger scale missions such as ones that last a few months and target a broad objective. -----------------------

I wish the commanding officers would put down the troopers more you know call them useless and beat them every once in a while 
surprisingly I just think the lack of activity is because of school, or at least I know why thats my problem, huge amounts of work with no time to do it. 3 MORE DAYS -----------------------

I personally think shorter stories are better. Stories that tend to drag on for too long end up losing peoples interest and dying. I know our squad stories have a knack of doing that, and many others do as well.
Maybe rewards for regular activity? Pay bonuses for people that have posted say, at least 60 times that month. And likewise, warnings for lack of activity. -----------------------

After a long hard story some free back massages would be nice, even for half an hour...
Else we could wait a few weeks when school gets out and figure out if that solves most of the problems. -----------------------

You know, im not quite sure why people use school as a problem for activity. Im in school, im in my last year, my exams kick in from the end of May.
I still spend a lot of time in the VE, nor is my school work suffering. My lowest expected grade is a B, and most are still hovering around that A/A* borderline.
My schoolwork doesn't suffer, nor does my VE activity. If anything, the summer is going to disadvantage me. -----------------------

Kanderin I dont know about you but my final year of high school was so damn easy, I didnt study once and came out with an 80% overall. It was a joke, Cegep (college) is kicking my ass unfortunately, guess I got into the habit from high school. -----------------------

Hsve to say that some form of rewards always promotes constant activity.
A good story with plenty of constant activity from others keeps me going. -----------------------
