I have decided to make a few changes to "Tsunami Gaming". And here they are:
- Tsunami Gaming (http://www.tsugaming.com) and The Tsunami Gaming Network (TGN) will no longer be the same thing. We will be changing the architecture of our network to support a three-tier system: Tsunami Alliance > TGN > Tsunami Gaming. To avoid confusion, TsuGaming.com will be known as "TsuGaming" (or Tsunami Gaming) and TsuGaming.net will be known as "TGN" (or Tsunami Gaming Network).
- Tsunami Alliance partners/affiliates will NOT be integrated. They're simply accepted into the alliance by popular vote. They run everything on their own, with their own names, and 100% rights to their content. TGN members WILL be integrated and all of their content and data will be exclusively owned by TGN.
- Tsunami Gaming (http://www.tsugaming.com) will change its focus exclusively to public servers. No longer will it support clans, leagues, or games (subcommunities) that do not have a public server. This will be handled by other TGN organizations.
- Tsunami Gaming Network (http://www.tsugaming.net) will be the parent site to Tsunami Gaming. TGN (http://www.tsugaming.net) will manage and maintain all data including content ownership, databases, and administrative authority over all TGN member websites.
- Each website will share the same user data. While the way this is done may change over time (to become more and more efficient and feature-rich), initially it will simply mean that you will only have one login for every website under TGN (even if they're on different domain names).
In addition to these architectural changes, there will subsequently be some leadership structure (and position) changes. They are:
- The Tsunami Gaming Network (http://www.tsugaming.net) will have an Executive Board which will preside over all member websites under the TGN. On it will be myself (Founder/CEO), Nightma12 (COO), and Danpaul (CTO). Many of the senior leadership/staff positions such as Public Relations (PR) will now be a TGN-level position (not Tsunami Gaming).
- Crazyreb (aka sOaPeY) will hold the TGN staff position of Public Relations. He will oversee the administrative integration (and advertisement) of member sites. TGN will hold its own staff positions for things such as server administration, web team, multimedia team, etc. You will be able to apply for TGN-staff as well as individual member site staff positions (such as TsuGaming.com multimedia team). Just because you're on one does not mean you're on the other(s). TGN-level staff positions will have much higher standards and expectations.
- In light of all of these changes, and because of some personal issues, I will be resigning my position as "Chief Executive Officer" of Tsunami Gaming (tsugaming.com). I will still be considered the only Founder and an owner.
- Nightma12 will take my place as the leader of Tsunami Gaming (tsugaming.com). He has decided not to keep the "Executive Board" structure, therefore he won't be titled CEO. Simply "an owner". However he decides to restructure leadership after I leave is up to him.
Please give Nightma12 and Danpaul your full cooperation. Respect them as you would respect me. And give them a chance to lead you to a brighter future.
Thank you all for the great games and experiences over the last few years. I'll see you around in the future!
