This Fleet Was Founded By a UK/EU Player. Anyone Worldwide is Welcome!

What is Philanthropy?

Philanthropy is a unique fleet that I founded two years ago as [S.P.E.C.], Starfleet Political Egalitarian Corps. Since then, I disbanded the fleet due to a lack of direction and reward with the fleet System. Now with the advent of Season 6, I've decided to re-open the fleet under a new banner - Philanthropy.

Why is it Unique?

When I founded the fleet, I did so with the intention of making it the first fully democratic fleet - with a council of admirals, each voted in by the members of the fleet, who then in turn all get an equal vote in what goes on in the fleet. This system proved to be successful, but unnecessary since until Season 6, the fleet system was useless.

Why should I join?

Equal Opportunities
The Fleet is based around the idea that anyone and everyone has the equal opportunity to join, advance and grow within the fleet. Unlike other fleets, the top level members aren't just friends of the founder or the ones who happened to be there in the beginning, they are democratically voted in, and are only there for as long as they represent the interests of the other fleet members; until they are voted out.

A Culture of Sharing
We already have a fully stocked, fully developed fleet bank which is completely open to regular members. There are no spaces reserved for admirals, which means we have the maximum amount of space for everyone to benefit from. Put in what you have spare and take out what you need! Remember, the more generous you are, the more generous other people will be in return.

You Have The Final Word
As previously mentioned, the fleet was founded with the idea that every member has a right to have a chance to guide the fleet as they see fit - there's no point asking you to put into the fleet and not get anything out of it! So as well as the bi-monthly (60 day) Council elections, there are special voting events where the regular members will have their say on important matters - what should we work on on the starbase? Do we need to have more/different events? What would you like to see in the future? This way, even if you aren't a council member, you'll still have a say on what goes on!

Focused and Directed!

As much as you are! We all want to get cool fleet ships, and have a cool starbase, and a fleet like Philanthropy is perfect for these sorts of things, as members have a real say in where the fleet goes. Unlike other fleets that may hoard all of the starbase/shipyard rewards for the admirals, Philanthropy is built around the idea of fairness. Randomized draws will take place @ RANDOM.ORG when ships are requisitioned, or fleet rewards come in.


How Do I Apply?

There are a few ways you can apply, which will change as we get more members.

1. Email Me! - ben.willock@gmail.com
2. Pm Me! - Willock@BenOWillock, or just @BenOWillock
3. Forum Message me!
4. Post a reply on this thread with your username@handle!

As the council is set up, More emails and handles will be added, so there will be more people to apply to.

Thanks for looking, please consider us ^.^

    Still plenty of room left.
    Remember - A Bigger fleet means less chance of getting any rewards!

    I think the "love of mankind" thing is turning alot of people off. With all the Aliens and whatnot. Might I suggest a name change? Maybe something along the lines of "Polyamorphic Philanthropy"?

    Well I don't think any of us are ACTUALLY aliens. But after reviewing that paragraph, it seems unnecessary, and a tiny bit weird. So its gone.

    See? Democracy at work lol.
