Course launch!

Course launch!

As I have mentioned a few times, we're replacing Leadership Studies and Leadership Fundamentals with a single course and changing the Leadership Maven and Savant degree requirements as well. Finally, the day has come! Lo and behold, Leadership Management lives!

Many thanks to Yacks and my staff for putting in the time and energy on editing and revising the course, and thanks to Xantros for getting us the first draft! As always, if you spot typos, errors, formatting problems, etc. please let us know so we can kill them.

Now, a refresher on the degree changes that will go live as soon as the Seneschal staff gets around to it:

Maven:

  • Leadership Reports
  • Leadership Rewards
  • Leadership Competitions
  • Serve in a leadership position. Leadership in multiple, non-consecutive positions may count, but only if you held the non-consecutive positions for at least 75% of the required time.
    • Consul or Proconsul: 3 months (75% = 2.25 months)
    • Quaestor or Aedile: 4 months (75% = 3 months)
    • Battle Team Leader: 5 months (75% = 3.75 months)

Savant:

  • Dark Maven: Leadership
  • Leadership Management
  • IRC 301: Operator Studies
  • Chamber of Justice I
  • Serve in a leadership position. Leadership in multiple, non-consecutive positions may count, but only if you held the non-consecutive positions for at least 75% of the required time.
    • Consul or Proconsul: 6 months (75% = 4.5 months)
    • Quaestor or Aedile: 8 months (75% = 6 months)
    • Battle Team Leader: 10 months (75% = 7.5 months)

My 5th report has some more explanation of the non-consecutive position counting, and it's discussed more in the comments to that report, so check it out if you're confused.

One other note: Leadership Studies and Leadership Fundamentals will still be active for a few more days, until the degree changes are implemented. I would not advise anyone to start working on either of those courses at this point, nor to bother finishing them up unless you're super close to done. Once the degree changes are active, they will no longer count towards any degrees and their academic credits (2 apiece) will go away when the courses are made inactive. The new Management course is worth 3 credits.

Questor should be Quaestor btw

And thank the force this monster is done!

ahem I don't know what you mean.

This was a ... fun one to work on with Yacks :P

Battleteam leader should also include Sargent experience too.

No it shouldn't :P

What the bearded one said.

The credits will dissapear for those who already took them? Does that mean one will lose a Maven/Savant degree based on them also? That's a bit of a drag. Will there be grandfathering?

I still have mine Macron, so grandfather seems to be in effect. As per usual though, if you were halfway through the requirements I would expect that you now must complete the new requirements, or ask Bubba very nicely.

Degrees stay whenever there's a change. Whatever you've earned, you've earned, and that won't go away. It's only the ACs that ever change.

So just for some people out there; does the title of ACC Judge or Operator count as leadership?

I don't see why it would, it's not leadership positions, just like magistrate and praetor aren't leadership positions either.

What Mirus and Malik said.

The 4 total credits for Studies and Fundamentals will disappear once the courses are deactivated, but no one will lose earned degrees or SA Society rank.

SA ranks and degrees are set in stone. It takes a CoJ conviction on cheating to remove them. Don't worry, they're not going to be altered by this
