Tiggs,
The Medic Correspondent (Meretseger) has not been heard from for over 2 weeks and there are issues in the Medic Forum that need to be brought to that attention of the Developers. The Correspondent has only made one thread since being selected to the possition. The Medic Community needssomeone that is willing to lead, and if the current Correspondent isn't willing or unable to perform that task, then it's time for a new leader. We need someone that wants to help out the Profession not ignore it.

Thanks for the 1-star without a reply. I'm willing to help Meretseger be a leader of the Medic Community, but while the Correspondent is M.I.A. we need someone to bring our issues to the Devs. I have been posting about Medic Missions for over a year, and this issue needs to be taken to the powers that be at every opprotunity or nothing gets done.

Lol, it's been a month since their introductory thread and they've only posted three times since then and not at all this month. Sounds like medic is about to get nerfed.

Okay, no offense to the forum correspondent, but how the heck did they get picked to begin with? 88 total posts since 11/03, only 8 of those were on the Medic Forum before their selection, and 7 of those were in the two weeks prior to their selection.

I can see your point but surely a simple PM to tiggs or TH would have been the more dignified aproach to this? Making such a public statement like this about somebody isn't a very respectful thing to do imo.
Saying that I agree that if the corr for a proffesion isn't really doing his or her job properly something should be done however I feel consideration of RL and other gaming issues should be taken into consideration. Something disasterous may have happened in RL, in which case I think it's more than fair that he hasnt posted in some time. Equally, he may be spending all his time as corr fighting for medics in the CURB forums.
My last point, and while this doesnt justify a lack of input from any corespondent, the doctor forums do deal with almost all of the problems medic has and is of a mch higher profile imo.

I often questioned why he was selected with 80 some-oddposts to begin with...most of which not even in any of the profession boards. I was very upset that it took him almost 3 weeks to even post once in here after his little "Thank you" post. And I have often questioned his motives of taking the position for the CU and nothing more.I don't know if that is his reasoning, but that is what it appears like to me considering that is his only real post/reply since becomingthe Correspondent.
It's not my place to speak for him and why he isn't posting, but I would like to see him post more often...or replaced if need be. I'm really not sure what the deal is, but I don't personally expect him to be here 24/7.... however his currentattendance on the forumsis very unacceptable IMO.
It's not my place to say we need a new one, thats for SOE to figure out...but we defiantly need him to speak up more and at least let us regulars know he is alive and reading our input. I realize you can't judge a person on Post Count or attendance.... but yea something needs to change; now if its the Correspondent or his forum time frankly I don't care which it is. But I agree someone needs to start speaking up and taking charge for this profession.

To be fair, Meretseger was already in the CU alpha, so that is not why she wanted to be Corr.

well someone with 80 posts is the perfect pick to be corr. Someone with 2k+ is bound to have a "few" posts somewhere bashing the game the devs and SOE in general 
I would have to guess that makes up around 1/3 of mine

Not always, but yes your right....I have a few posts under my belt that I'm not proud of....
But to me its not really the post count that bothers me....It's the fact that he really hasn't done anything constructive to "The Public Eyes". I think that is what bothers us the most.
Medic is probably the most documented profession in the game....But there is still a lot of room for improvement, and it seems to myself and others that the current correspondent doesn't really care about the concerns of the Medic Community. Which happens to be something they are suppose to include in the write up for the position. Actions speak louder then words, so I guess we will see what happens.

This thread really is totally uncalled for.Technically a Correspondent's only duty is to bring information to the developers, nothing more. Anything of significance usually gets posted by the CR team long before we even know about the issue.
Currently there are no issues that Meretseger can comment on, and the reasons behind some of that are known only to the developers, correspondents and the CU alpha team, which Travin being a member of, makes this thread even more silly, as he knows what is in store for medics.
Forum posts don't account for everything when selecting a Correspondent. She is quite fit for the job. Oh, and she most certainly is not MIA, I talk to her every day.
As for mission terminals, he issue no longergets replied to by the devs. They're the ones in charge, not us. They've been asked for since beta, and met only with resistance. We can only do so much.

There have been tons of changes and additions to the game such as Event Coordinators, The new Master level Neutral ship, veteran reward. Why can't a "refresh" on the /diag screen get added with all that? Why can't missions for medics get added? The Medic profession isn't stable. We can't heal 75% of the population anymore, we have no viable source of income, we have no valid way to gather resources (except to take up Artisan). This is NOT a stable Profession.

Indeed, when I took up this position, I been duly informed that my purpose is to inform people of information that the Devs decide should be handed out, and to take in serious issues that are breaking the game. The information given to the DEV team is solely dependant on if they have time and wish to work on the matter and not from my comments or community desires.
Secondly, I am not here for your personal amusement, to be posting purely for the purpose of posting. If people feel they need to spam the boards to be reconised then it is their way but not mine, the number of posts a person makes has no bearing on the skills or ablities of the writer, seems more the case those with several thousand posts have too much spare time or covering up the poor ones.
I applied for the position, as any other person could volenteer for, and I offered the placement which was accepted.
This is the Medic forum, the profession is one of the most stable and working profession of all been offered. There are a few problems and there are a lot of wishes we all like to have to be added or changed to the profession, but they aren't been considered important enough to be improved at this point compered to more stressing problems or they will be addressed in the CU, and this has been so for several months. In my time, the forum has had several new player questions, a few queries and an issue, which, funny enough, is the mission terminals request that was answered, several times, and we keep getting the same answer from the DEVs.
Now about what's happening, the new details about the medical professions will be opened to public soon in the next week or so to be looked at, those on the CU team would already know about them. Things are been shaken up and we're been told to sit down and wait for the CU and say nothing until then so keep an eye out for them as will be taking your thoughts and issues on them.
So how about not trying to publicly stab me in the back for doing my job and acturally be an assistance instead of demanding in bold red extra large words and I would greatly appreciate it, I'm sorry that I not been as visable as you seem to need me, I did not think the great people I find here needed to be watched and had their hands held. Been seeing good people jumping in and helping out others before me and given good and helpful answers, why should I add more when they done a fine job?. The Devs have said no say nothing about new features and changes, so offically hands are tied.
Meretseger.
No, the medic missions issue hasn't been answered. I have not seen a recent response from the Devs that we can't and will not get these. Until then the issue is worth fighting for. If there has been a recent response, I haven't seen it.
Thank you for this information, since 90+% of the people that visit this forum aren't in the CURB and don't have access to this information, it's nice to know that it's coming.
My intent wasn't to stab you in the back but to get a response from you, ANY response. Like was posted earlier you had made a total of 3 posts in 1 month. Even if you show up to say "There are no current changes that effect the Medical Profession" that's better than 2 weeks of silence. I want to see you be a leader of the Medics, but you can't lead by silence. And my last thread was asking for a status and hopefully to get the missions issue pushed to the Correspondent forums again. I will not stop pushing for the Medic missions until they are in the game.
