Summary
Many changes on the server that affect all factions are discussed, finalized, and approved via Roundtable meetings. These meetings include staff members, civilian council members, and senior R&R and APD members. Each faction has an internal meeting before the Roundtable meeting where they discuss what they want to present. Ideas approved by the seniors of each faction will be listed in a document and discussed at the Roundtable meeting, where anyone attending can give their input. Within the Roundtable meeting each side gets to present their case fighting for their belief on the subject, pointing out the positive and negative effects of the change to then make a more informed decision on the matter. Once a Roundtable meeting is complete, the approved ideas will be sent to the development team to implement them.
Where can I find more of this information?
The changes that happen on Olympus are kept behind closed doors until they are ready to be implemented. We use this process to ensure there are fair and equal opportunities for players to utilize changes once they have been released. Roundtable information is released first to staff, seniors in APD/R&R, civilian council, and contributors and then released in public changelogs to the rest of the community. Past changelogs can be viewed here.
I have some things I'd like to suggest
You can always suggest things to a senior of each faction for something that you feel is a quality-of-life change that would be good to be implemented into the server. For the civilian faction, you would have to speak with the civilian council members or make a suggestion here, for APD suggestions speak with the members of the Senior APD, and for changes that you wish to suggest for R&R follow up with the Senior R&R or make a suggestion here.
I wish to take part in these meetings
You can always apply for the Civilian Council here by selecting “New request” and choosing Civilian Council Application and filling in the information required. As for APD and R&R you would need to be appointed to their Senior team by the current Seniors of those factions.
