Overview

Welcome to the crew organisation section of the Wiki. Here you will find a list of departments for the Empire game system, listing what each department does, who is in charge and who the staff in that department are. Don't hesitate to get in touch with a head of department if you are interested in working in that area.

Site Set-up Crew

The set-up crew help us get the event ready by putting up tents, setting up the electrics, etc. Those who are helping with set-up need to be on site roughly two days before time-in. Those who are helping with take-down need to be on site until roughly one day after time-out. We aim to complete take-down by nightfall the day after the event.

If you are part of the set-up crew then you are encouraged to get involved and take part in crewing the rest of the event, but if you prefer to play then you are welcome to do that instead. Bear in mind though that you might be called on during the event to help with the set-up for the battles and so on.

The set-up crew departments are: Gate, Set dressing, Site set-up, and Electricians.

Site Management

Responsible for overseeing the lay out and management of the site as a whole.

Head of Department

  • Alison Pennington

Site Crew

The site crew, or Red Caps as they are affectionately known, are responsible for overseeing all OOC logistics on site, particularly during set up and take down, as well as site health and safety.

Head of Department

  • Chris Butcher

Deputy

  • Tom Butterworth

Electricians

The electricians are in charge of plugging things into other things, bringing power to all the areas of the field that need it to run the facilities and the game. We supply power to the Tavern and the traders on the IC field, GOD and Plot/Monster for running the game, and the facilities blocks and food vendors on the OC field.

Whichever team you're working with, it's important that you don't plug anything in without checking with the sparkies first - we have a limited quantity of power available on site, and a major part of what we do is making sure the phases are balanced, and that we can run everything we need to without tripping the breakers.

Responsible for the on site distribution of electrical power and the off site building of new projects as well as maintenance and periodic inspection.

Head of Department

  • Dave 'Sparky' Wilson

Deputy

  • Ara McBay
  • Mark 'Waz' Bretherick

Set Dressing

Responsible for making sure that the IC set dressing is in keeping with the game setting and thus providing greater opportunity for player immersion into the campaign.

Head of Department

  • Craig McGuire

Deputy

  • Andy Rimmer

Gate

Responsible for the administration related to players and crew who arrive without prebooking and pay on the gate.

Head of Department

  • Sarah Johnson

Event Crew

The event crew help us to run the event, filling a wide variety of roles. Event crew write and run plot, they play NPC roles throughout the weekend and man areas like GOD and the tavern. Event crew are allocated to a single department, based on their primary role at the event, but you can be a member of more than one department and help out in different areas if you want to do so.

Event crew will be busy most of the event, so it is not possible to play the game and be a member of the event crew. Event crew are welcome to take some time off during the event and roleplay and socialize with friends by playing a zero point character. You should avoid playing roles such as spies, assassins and political aides as they’re more fitting for player characters than crew enjoying the game during a break.

The event crew departments are: Crew welfare, God, Plot, Civil servants, Refs, Security, Tavern, Weapon check, and Photography.
