Poll: Team Objective

[DrPop]

VOTING RULES: vote YES if you agree these should be goals number 1 & 2 in the order that YOU prefer.
Vote NO to change a goal that you disagree with. If you vote NO, you MUST reply with an alternate solution, a goal you feel is better for the team. Those suggestions may be added to a future poll.

After 535 views and six pages of posts, I have yet to see a consensus from a large number of us, on what exact direction our team should go. We used to have certain goals, priorities, desires. Things change. The motive of the team can stay the same, but the actual direction and priorities of goals may change. The dawning of the GPU era is now past and the reality is smacking us like a 2x4 between the eyes. The makeup of the team is different, with a smaller core group that is really active on the boards. Those of us left are truly the dedicated ones, so anything is possible. No one give up hope for any goal you want to see our team achieve. They will come with hard work and perseverance, but the point is, they will come. Where there's a will, there's a way.
We have the will. We are looking for the way.

This poll will obviously not change any official policy of our team off the bat. It should give a good idea of what the active membership want, however, and could be a good springboard for any change that may need to take place.

Apparently, our problems begin on a more basic level than I thought. Some members can't even read!

On a more serious note, if you vote "no", please respect the process enough to state your preferred goal in a reply. Thank you.

I think a better ruler is team MMs.

As I am to lazy to go look for it, where is the stats page for that? Do more MMs make us first?

Look at the stop of our stats page on Free-DC: http://stats.free-dc.org/stats.php?p...&team=SETI.USA

Is there a page that shows our overall rank compared to other teams?

That's an interesting notion, not sure how we'd categorize an overall MM, perhaps lowest average projrank?

So, perhaps your goal stated would be:
"To become the most project diverse team, with highest overall MM achievement"?

Is that somewhat correct? I'm just looking for proper wording so we can add it to an official poll someday. This thread is all about getting the ideas out there.

BOK, is there any easy way to do a sort by team MMs? I'm not saying I'd vote for this as my top goal, but I would be curious if we could even do it stats wise?
Thanks everyone who is participating, and keep it coming!
