So, as of a couple days ago, the Bus Nation made a significant change: we are now a co-leadership! One of our first members, Matopeck, has proven his experience and initiative several times over, providing major imput in nearly all our open discussions via PM and forum-posting alike. Being a serious, hardcore veteran of the series, the decision was made to elevate him to the Bus Office, as my fellow leader of this already wonderful community.

Our ideas are constantly developing! It's a very exciting thing to see, especially when vehicles don't even exist yet! It just means that when it's time to become a real presence on the servers, we'll be that much better prepared for all Chernarus can throw at us! We now have 6 members and counting, enough people to do coordinated operations with, and so we're addressing the matter of Size versus Cohesion now.

Size v. Cohesion is a problem that I think any guild, clan, group, or community experiences at some point. When you have hundreds of members, how are you supposed to stay connected with them all? Our solution is Squads. Each Squad will be somewhere between 10 and 20 members large, to account for people having lives and not always being able to play with us (a large operating group is planned at 10, currently). It's a virtual sub-group, meant to tackle and eliminate the Size v. Cohesion issue by allowing us to grow very large, while still having manageable communities where connections can happen. Each Squad will have its own topic in a designated sub-forum for discussion to improve communication, and the right to have its own Squad title and symbol.

The first Squad, which Matopeck and I have named Squad Psi, is currently the only one. But as we gain members new Squads will be made, and so too will our community!

May your wheels be ever-turning,
