Dear Argonath,
My name is Frank Hawk, many of you may know me and many may remain oblivious to my presence within Argonath. During my last four months within Argonath, I set out to create a revolutionary RP group called Rage Incorporated [RI]. It was responsible for creating a structured business group which was actively working to promote extraordinary levels of involvement within the Gas Station 9 area. It was also designed to rapidly expand players knowledge of RP through real life working jobs such as mechanical staff and taxi drivers.
Rage Incorporated [RI] unlike any other group developed a structure based on real life companies therefore staff involved had a real progression rate to work through the ranks and to earn a higher salary in the process of doing so. To reflect this, staff worked tirelessly to impress the Executive Commitee (ExCo) of Rage Incorporated [RI] and to demonstrate their hunger for real progression within the group in order to attain a higher salary and in turn a greater level of respect within the server.
Many of the players now established as regulars, were recruited as new players, and developed through a rigorous lifecycle of self-development. Some of the members tailored from new, included Joey_DeRossi, Sean_Olk, Collin Hawk and Tom_Barker. As many of you will tend to agree, these players adhere to the rules and regulations of the server and exceed the goals set in place by the administration. This was achieved through mentoring and patient development.
I urge you all to continue working to support our new players and show new found interest in the development of our new players. They are the lifeblood of the server and in order to maintain and build upon the level of RP, we need to train them where appropriate and take Argonath to the next RP level of experience.
From my discussion with Gandalf, whom I respect dearly along with the high level administration – we discussed the sustainability of the server and the incentives in place for developing people to take ownership for the development of the server and community. Many of you at this present moment, in all fairness highlight areas of concerns within RPs which include low level administration within the server. In accordance with my conversation with Gandalf, everybody within the server is encouraged to stand up and make a difference to our community in order to improve ourselves and grow organically. All serious about RPing should stop being melodramatic, and take a constructive stand against issues that affect them directly.
In order to address this, I would personally suggest setting up a Quality Assurance committee of RPers which is responsible for governing the low level administration (server admins) The QA committee of RPers would be responsible for ensuring consistency within the low level administration and ensure that fair and tolerate decisions are handed out. I believe this will solve the issue of tolerance within the low level administration and ultimately remove any biased activity within it – I’m sure there is a strong consensus among the top tier RPers to support this idea.
As per my departure from Argonath for a year, I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the administration for providing a platform for me to enjoy upon, the players of Argonath for supporting Rage Incorporated [RI] and our new players for inspiring me. We truly have a diverse community, with people representing the Argonath from all continents in the world engaging in RP and disregarding age as a restraint. In turn we should be proud of our achievements, credit and respect among other servers.
It’s important we continue to build upon these foundations, by developing our player base and encouraging what we are doing well and addressing all restraining constraints. This will allow us to remain one step ahead of our competition within the RPing community and to ensure we remain admired and prestigious in the process of doing so.
I hope you can find it in my legacy to carry on my ideas, vision and commitment to our server and take Argonath to the next level. I have a special place for Argonath in my heart, and sincerely wish you all the best of luck in developing, nurturing and having the courage to excel.
I hope to see you all next year in July 2010.
Good luck Argonath. 
PS. I will also be holding my traditional leaving parade on 04th July 2009, Saturday, 6PM GMT which will involve a walk from the LSPD to GS9 to celebrate our achievements and my departure. I hope all RPers involved with me over the past months, find some time to get involved and to support me in providing unity for the server and it’s directional spirit.
