So I've hosted a poll wondering what everyone would like to happen next on Issuing Orders? Whether that be an epic battle; which is one single, but large battle. Epic Campaign, which can span between numerous small and large battles in a series. Special Game Threads, which technically means more fun entertaining games on the site, bit like the zombie game we're currently playing or a large neutral plot that's pulled together by everyone on the site.
There's a few options to choose from. If you feel you have an entirely different opinion on what you would like to happen next, feel free to suggest it. Please don't go suggesting you want auctions, updates or whatever else. I'm purely hosting this poll in conjunction with what the site can get involved in. Not what should be updated on the site next.
Auctions and updates will always happen throughtout the year.
You only get one vote, so please choose the option you truly want above and the poll will close in three days, so it gives everyone a chance to vote during that time. You can also change your vote during any period the poll is still open. Again, only one vote however. ~Danny

Id like to see a bit more added on to the site, I know it sounds hard for the staff to do but in my case I check the site everyday and all and sometimes just wish something new would happen. Maybe a new front or raffles or new members. Even new plots that the staff create. Maybe even a few new staff members to keep things going around here at a smooth pace. Honestly they're are many things and i could go all day

Personally, if I were more active (which I super duper promise to be at least over the summer), I would want the Epic Campaign. Simply because that would get a lot of members interested and fighting and starting neutral threads as well. Essentially, it would help pump some life into the forum I believe.
My second option would be that big neutral plot. I'm not sure what that would be, but getting a lot of people involved and just RPing and battling with each other is always a good idea.
Once I get my new computer I'll have both the time and ability to help run an Epic Campaign. Those seem to really get the place going... I've stuck around this site for two years more or less because of my experience with Rocherath, despite the crushing defeat.
Here's the idea for a neutral/epic I had suggested in Adam's thread.
Kelly's Heroes. A Nazi convoy is moving 100*cp gold from Paris to Berlin. And although they tried to keep it a secret, the word had leaked out and different groups within both the Axis and Allies have decided to stop fighting for their country during the stalled Allied advance, and instead start racing for themselves.
And to make this interesting, I have thought up a renegade scoring system. Everyone time someone posts/closes a thread/wins a battle they earn a varying number of "Race Points", while if they are skipped/lose a battle they lose some. The points represent advance, 0 is Paris, 100* is Berlin. After the Nazis with the gold are given a headstart, everyone else will attempt to get an equal amount of points before they reach Berlin. While anyone with around the same amount of points can have a thread, either by teaming up, or fighting.
And then there could be Epic Battles, like having to cross lines while during a massive battle, or have to take a German held bridge to cross a river. Or something else, I don't know, do I have to come up with all the ideas? Any thoughts?
*This is obviously just a rough draft, so those numbers and other information will probably change.
