Rocky Mountain FanForce Community Handbook

Rocky Mountain FanForce Community Handbook

The RMFF is a community filled w/ diversity, not just in the Star Wars arena, but across the board. Our members are involved in Costuming and Props, the full gamut of Gaming, FanFiction, Literature, Graphic Design & Art, Collecting, and general discussions involving the movies themselves.

Our group has the particular distinction of being one of the most active FanForces on the boards. Part of that comes from our use of the boards to conquer the miles that separate us in reality and enable us to communicate daily. Our members are spread across the Rocky Mountain Region, from Pueblo to Laramie, WY and from Gypsum to Aurora.

Another distinctive feature of the RMFF is the biting wit and insane humor (& nature) of our collective members. We create and participate in games, round robins, line by lines and sock wars. Many times these events provide us with a chance to blow off some steam and to enjoy some good-natured ribbing of one another. A related feature of our unique humor is that irony & sarcasm are akin to bread and water for our members (so take what is said in the forums with a great deal of salt).

As a part of our diversity we have several subgroups within the RMFF, they are the following: Casino Malastare ? Gaming of all kinds, Imperial Outfitters ? Costuming & Props, Obroa-Skai Libraries ? Literature and FanFiction, Smuggler?s Alliance ? Collecting, and Imperial Graphics?88 ? Graphic Design & Art. Please feel free to join in with one of these groups or just participate in the general discussion threads. When you want to start a new thread go for it, however, to avoid redundancy, please try to go through the old threads to make sure that the topic hasn?t already been brought up.

For all new members, please make sure you check in to the Newbie Check-In Area & Intro Thread and also you should make sure that you fill out your profile. Once you become familiar with the group and feel comfortable sharing more information, we have a ?Bios for the Website? Thread. This will become part of the member information listed on our website.

We also support our own website through voluntary participation. It contains our important announcements, our history, event information, member information and the subgroup sites as well. Our current webmaster is Jedi_Pilot and he is always looking for volunteers to help run & design the site.

Our FanForce is run by a voluntary group of officers, including our City Representative (who reports directly to the Southwest Regional Support Administrator)(And the other guy), a Co-City Rep, a Secretary/Historian, Treasurer & a Webmaster. Be warned, the CR will be calling on the members and other officers to chip on the planning and execution of any and all events. These are volunteer positions, so try to lend a hand whenever necessary. We hold elections every six months to make sure that everyone is not only happy with the leadership, but that no one gets burnt out being the leader. Those elections are held every March and October at our regular general monthly meeting.

We have one general monthly meeting for the entire RMFF on the third weekend of every month. We will plan out our meeting 2 to 3 months in advance, and the decision for which day will either be made by the person hosting the meeting, or by a vote on the boards 2 weeks before the

 

WOW, ZOO. Did your hand get tierd? That was a lot, but very well put!

 

Just updated this w/ the new officer structure and the new RSA.

Also, because of something that's coming up, so that the new people can read the rules.

 

Please update with my suggestion that newbies check out our Photo Gallery and see what we look like if their first time meeting up with us is in public.
