Powerplay So now the weekly newsletter is calling for CMDRs to pledge to Felicia Winters?

Comms Chatter in Newsletter #184 starts with something interesting.

Maybe FDev is trying to tell us that they hate reddit?

It's not like every Power has a community open for recruitment on reddit and discord...

(Arkadi even collated them all into a stickied post here.

Maybe its a good thing. It would be nice to have a newsletter focus on each power written by the powers for visibility.

I'd be more troubled if they'd actually directed players to the Winters subreddit or FUC discord. Instead they are directing pilots to...a facebook page with 14 people? What on Earth?

Of the two, I'd actually prefer them directing players to the Winters subreddit and discord - by directing them to a Facebook page with 14 members, it gives interested players the impression that PowerPlay is beyond dead.

Right now I'm undermining her systems for Li-Yong merits.

There are people who won't follow a link to Reddit on principal (me being one). Maybe FD is finally getting the message.

Out of curiosity, why? I would never use facebook to coordinate with my power. I would never use my real name for this kind of thing.

More evidence that to engage in any meaningful way with any of the larger features of Elite Dangerous, you need to subscribe to 3rd party websites or software.

I wondered where my old sticky with the list of Reddits went.
Under a spoiler in Arkadi's thread. https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/328362-Powerplay-Guides
Good thread.
We should have a list of discords as well.

I gotta say the link to the FLC Facebook page got quite a few LOLs back at HQ.
So what is Perse's real name?
Does Frontier need a slap on the wrist for linking real names with game personas?
