> This post is intended for the organisation and coordination of collective emails between the community and The Architect ## Who are the Heralds? The Heralds (also dubbed `@ProjectSkyHeralds` by the NMSCord legendary mods) are a group of operators co-ordinating the Wasperator group email for organised contact with @the_architect. Included in this group are: @Gumsk @sheralmyst @ThatBomberBoi @vector_cmdr @Rusty @Vau1t ## Wasperator Group Email - Standard Operating Procedure ### 1. Gathering and Filtering - Whether the community needs to or should email Archie may arise organically in operator discussion of certain events or crises. - In these cases where operators want to reach out, a Herald or operator may suggest that we need to email The Architect as a collective. A distinction is made here between **Urgent** and **Non-urgent** topics. #### Urgent - Needing communication within minutes. For example: when the virus was first observed. - The operators and/or Heralds involved in the moment are best placed to decide whether a subject is urgent or not. - If a subject is urgent, it can be sent to the Architect by any active operator available at the time - **do not feel obliged to wait on formalities if you have something time sensitive.** #### Non-urgent - Topics that are less time critical and may have had some community discussion of what to send or what action to take. - For example when the community was deciding the strategy and targets to select to stop the [virus](https://forums.atlas-65.com/t/memory-erasing-virus-destructive-sub-program-solved-virus-satiated-for-now/10047) ### 2. Communicating to The Architect #### Urgent topics - Emails on urgent topics can be sent by any operator, and should be followed up with an email from the heralds (if and when they available) to direct The Architectā€™s attention. - Email subject: `URGENT: FAO THE ARCHITECT: [subject]` - Email body: Include a summary of the issue, include links to relevant discussion points in ETARC or NMScord, citing the operator(s) involved. #### Non-urgent topics - Operators may choose to independently email Archie from time to time with non-urgent topics. - Heralds or operators may also suggest a collective email to the architect as discussed in 1. above. - Email subject: `FAO The Architect: [subject]` - Email body: Include a summary of the query or solution, include links to relevant discussion points or community alignment in ETARC or NMScord. ### 3. Gatekeeping - **Urgent** topics do not require a consensus. - **Non-urgent** topics most likely would require a poll of operator suggestions and views to decide what to send, if sending via the Wasperators group email. - Clarification: If there is ā€œno timeā€ to wait for a poll or for a Herald to be available, then it is an urgent topic. ### 4. Conflict Resolution - There may arise occasions where there is disagreement between consensus views between the ETARC and NMSCord communities. - The Heralds active at the time will try to mediate and reach a consensus on what and whether to email. ### 5. Reporting Back Emails sent via the Wasperators group email to Archie and the replies should be shared at the following: - NMScord project-skyscraper channel - NMScord project-sky-beacon channel - The ETARC thread below šŸ‘‡ ## Addendum @the_architect please reply all to include the Wasperatorsā€™ group email when you are replying to these emails, it helps us all stay up to date and provide coverage across time zones. ---

Just to be absolutely clear, this is just how the members of this email address are going to communicate with Archie. We have no pretensions of special status and no control over other waperators, and we donā€™t want any control. We just want everyone to understand how we will use this so thereā€™s no ambiguity and no conspiracy theories about how we are monopolizing communication or gatekeeping inappropriately. If you have concerns, let us know and weā€™ll all try to address them and make everyone happy. And thanks to Rusty for typing this up, TBB for posting it, Vector for pushing for transparent and organized communication, etc etc etc. ---

I donā€™t know if Iā€™ve built up enough time in this forum to safely send an image, so Iā€™ll just say, I think the obvious answer is the DireWASP armor itself! Itā€™s directly related to NMS, it fits the wasp joke, itā€™s (relatively) easily accessible assuming you did the expedition, whatā€™s not to like? Buuut if thatā€™s not an option, I throw my hat in the ring for Toddumptiousā€™ pick šŸ˜ƒ ---

So putting my understanding into a list 1. So there is an event that is important to system itā€™s trying to sync with. 2. We donā€™t know what it is. 3. If system could sync that single event, the asynchronous event could stop, as the symptoms would subside. Should we start looking at memories where the timestamp from system does not match the actual event(as there are many) and feed that to system? Sorry if this should go somewhere else. ---
