Hello,
I am here to bring up several issues of DOTI in Nightgaladeld's USA. Here's the main contents.
I. Inactivity II. New members III. Ranks IV. Leadership Reform [Solution]
I. Inactivity
Inactivity seems to be a issue in DOTI, unless they are just keeping us in the dark. As far as I know, they're only project at the moment is the new D.C and possibly San Fransico. But, really, DOTI has a somewhat good amount of members but they hardly ever do anything. This is one of they're first projects in probably a year, other than just adding small models to D.C every once and a while.
II. New Members
Now, let me say this BEFORE you read anything else at all. I am not "raging" that I didn't receive a reply. If you'd like to use the term "raging," then I am raging that DOTI doesn't take the time to get new members. I mean seriously, USA has existed for over a year and all we have is two cities, D.C and NY, and NY is full of bugs and issues. Want to know why they have barely done anything? Because they don't take the time to read messages, reply, or review models as far as I've noticed. And as far as I know, DOTI isn't cared for anymore, no concern has been expressed about how they have no Director, yet they have two Deputy Directors and one of those two happens to be the old Director's alt, who I believe became a traitor. Please correct me if I'm mistaken. DOTI probably hasn't had a new member in at least a year.
III. Ranks
Well, this part will be small, as I mentioned it briefly in the above topic. It has two DD's, one which is the alt of the old D, and it doesn't even have a D currently. I mean seriously, how will a building division function if it doesn't even have proper leadership roles? Come on, even someone who just joined ROBLOX could see that. If the POTUS and VPOTUS don't see that, then they need to have they're minds adjusted.
IV. Leadership Reform [Solution]
Now, here is where the solution comes in. The deputy director needs to be removed, meaning both deputy directors, and a new DD and a new D need to be found, who will both read messages and actually respond. If you send in an application to DOTI with your model, or if you ask a question, you won't receive a response, except you SHOULD receive a response. Who cares if they're busy. They need to provide feedback for people in order for USA to not be known as "A group that doesn't even bother with people," but rather, "A group who expresses concern as well as feedback to all of it's members, important or not important." I do believe all of you will agree with me that this change is for the better, not for the worse.
Now, please say whether you agree or not, and if you don't, please say why. I hope I don't see a response saying the DD is active with feedback, because I've sent a few messages and no responses. Guess what? I sent my last message over a month ago, or at least a week or two ago. That is far beyond how long it should take to receive a reply. |

I agree, I've messaged the DD to become a graphic designer, but he has yet to reply 1-2 weeks later.

As an epic developer, we all have our own projects; IE: I'm working on LA currently (scripting). |

I'd to address this issue, on behalf of the DoTI, as the Project Manager.
As a starter, I'd like to thank you for your concern of the Department of Technology and Innovation. Since we are a development team for the United States, we are ALWAYS looking for new ways to not only improve the USA, but also our own personal group.
1: Inactivity
I'm going to side with Rick on this one. We do not receive the proper tools to actually work well on it. Now, any good builder can make do with what he or she has, in fact I've seen people working on SF with the tools we have but eh, we try.
The project is amazing so far. Hand built golden gate bridge. I'm going to assume you saw it on the Twitch livestream. If you haven't, I'm more than welcomed to screen share it with you!
I understand that from what you see on the game page is just a grey base plate. But SF is being added onto on a weekly basis. Don't judge a book by it's cover!
2: New Members
The DD relies on his group managers to pick people who are qualified. From what I've seen, unless you're a notable developer (e.g me, working on Albany NY) you're better off pm'ing the manager of the department you're looking for.
I reply to ALL messages. If that department has no manager, feel free to contact me and I will contact the DD.
DD is very busy. He gets a ton of messages. It's not his fault.
I encourage you to get involved in the University though.
3: Ranks
Nightgaladeld picks the Director. [V]POTUS don't. You're allowed to have an alternate account (or so I've heard) to be the rank under you if you're a high ranking officer of that division / agency.
Night is the owner of a 78,000 member group. He has THOUSANDS of messages, and over 200 skype contacts. His game is almost reaching one million.
He can not respond to every message he receives. To be honest, that's understandable.
Night has been contacted and we are waiting on his professionalism and his expertise to choose a reliable, active and efficient Director.
It's not easy picking a permanent Director of a division (and I say this with no offense) that pretty much is the FUTURE of the USA.
Give it some time.
4: Leadership Reform
Breland is an excellent DD. No doubt about it. There are several people who are applying to become the Director on the wall. But like I stated before, it all comes down to Night's decision.
Like I stated before, Breland is always busy. Which is why you should message the managers.
The DoTI isn't a bad division.
-David6006, Project Manager of the Department of Technology and Innovation division.

You're not in the DoTI.
You don't see what he does in the DoTI.
He encourages ALL of us to work on San Francisco.
He works hard in the DoTI.
Breland is not the type of person who exiles due to personal disliking.
Several people are running for Director against him. They're still here, in DoTI. Every last one of them.
The people trying to take his job.
He's a great person if you get to know him.

| Well, I'm pretty sure it matters more on him actually reading his messages then him just saying in a shout "[MSG] Work on a project!" |

He's busy. He's in multiple groups, especially since he's a high ranking officer in many of them.
Message the managers.

| And who exactly are the "managers?" Plus, I'm not putting a 100% trust on anything regarding the DD unless he actually posts here. |

| Oh, well either way, there is a DD for a reason, not for the purpose of making managers deal with it, but for the purpose of the DD and D dealing with it |

| Managers are advisers to the group. |

| Look at other agencies/departments. Do advisors handle it all? Nope. DD and D handle most of it, advisors just assist. |
