Actually, how difficult is it to maintain character stats every update? This is far less work than that. Plus if it's done every update instead of every X days, it's kept in focus - so not as likely to be accidentally forgotten.
Then again, how often do people update their own inventory/stat changes? If it weren't for our fantastic wiki gnomes, a lot would be horribly outdated.
And the Hep page itself. How often does anyone from Hep, aside from syv, keep that thing really updated? Either way, that's just my thoughts on the matter, we'll see what majority vote says.
The successor to the HEP - the PEW! That's just perfect.
Still needs a name though. I think I'll keep the sunrise thing and call it the Zarya. But the PEW stays.
That's gotta be the first time I propose a name for something that isn't immediately nuked. Hooray!
Actually, why specify who one would work under (except maybe for clearance/vouching purposes)? The way I see it, all of the admins will probably continue creating some designs from time to time and doing other 'out of the field' work, and the positions are more about responsibility and authority than strictly designated field of work. Thus I find it perfectly acceptable for an assistant or something to work with a number of admins simultaneously, helping with their jobs. I mean, I was actually myself hoping to work with/under Emp on social engineering as a part-time activity.
Personally, I agree with this. Having the heads as responsible for their department, as opposed to only doing that, seems most flexible. So a temp worker could the just pursue his projects when nobody requests his assistance, but would need to get the appropriate head involved (for permission/help/clearance).
Small thing though: I think Lars is supposed to be head of propaganda, with Charles under him. Might wanna work that out, to keep things clear (unless toaster just gives his position to charles/emp, would probably be easier. Whatever, you guys can work it out).
