9-8-2023 Friday edition Pro-tip, Our new organization!

Good Morning Survivor’s!!!   Welcome to a Friday edition to Pro-Tip Thursday!!   


Today’s Pro-Tip is actually peeling back some changes we have made behind the scenes to help make things run better and give a clearer picture of where to direct questions and concerns.  


We made the announcement a couple of months ago that Truate has rejoined the ownership team. During this time we also started looking at how things were run and what we can do to make things run smoother.  


In order to do that we have come up with the following Organizational chart:  


DYSTOPIA RISING ARKANSAS 

Organizational Chart 



Owners:


Curtis Haines, Truate Bearden and Ro Vance 


Roles:



Director Of Operations     

 Curtis Haines Curtis@Dystopiarisngar.com

Director Of Experience Design

Truate Bearden          

Director of Visual Design/Marketing

Ro Vance



Lead Rolls  


Logistic Lead:


Nikki Robertson



Lead Guide:


Ian McReynolds


Lead Writer:


Cody Padgett 


Lead Designer


Beth Gleason




The first thing to point out in this chart is that we are defining the roles and responsibilities our employees are responsible for.  The old model was nebulous and sometimes it was hard to know who to speak to about a particular issue.   With the lead roles it is easier to know whom to reach out to.  If you are having sheet issues or database issues.  Nikki is the one you want to speak to.  If you are a writer and need to know when things are due you go to Cody.  Ian leads all the guides in ops and rules during the game. Beth is the first contact for adding props or removing props from our play space.  All the leads are still a first contact when you need the first line of problem solving before you get to a director, But now you know which is the best person to go to with a particular problem.


Now we have 3 directors/owners like before.  The three of us are making the decisions that affect our game and run the business during the time between games.  During the game we have an easy way to define who to go to.  

If it's an IN-Game Issue,  Go talk to Truate. 


If it's an OUT OF GAME issue, look for Curtis.  



In the Role of Director of Experience Design, Truate is steering the ship when it comes to the game.  Rules calls, Story questions, Research questions, .  


In the Role of Director of Operations, Curtis is in charge of Set up, Take down, Site issues, Player Mediations and player health. 


You will see all owner/directors dealing with logistic issues during the game dependending on which is closest at the time.   



Hopefully this information will help clear up any confusion that may be out there on who to speak to about issues that affect our community.  Let me know if you have any questions that I can answer to help process this information! 


Till Next Time Survivor’s!! 


See you in the waste!!
