MELBOURNE Org Newsletter/Promo Leak Thread

[Petey C]

Cool stuff! Well done Zhent and Scooter, you have a sharp eye. I was going to do a count and then thought bugger it, life's too short.

It's all very hyperbolic and pukeworthy, isn't it.

And god save Scientology if Melb Day is the org that won the birthday game. It doesn't say much for the big US orgs.

Can anyone remember how many stats there are for Class V Orgs? What would be a good total for an org in a week?

Over the year, Melbourne Day scored 2358 which is an average of 45.35 points per week, and 14th placed Milano scored 1758 which is 33.81 points per week.

This doesn’t sound too good for the top 14 orgs on the planet, to me, but can anyone confirm?

Come on Scooter the difference in numbers may be for a couple of reasons:

1. The org is so upstat staff/volunteers are on annual leave cause it's been a year since the grand opening
2. Staff are being sent to the MECCA for training cause the expansion is so great
3. or the rent a crowd/volunteer was too expensive the second time round

All jokes aside the blow/attrition rate is certainly MECCA

I was at Flag when Mel Day & Fdn had about 20 people in training in the big push before the grand opening, and on this list I only see about 4 names I recognize from that group. Now, I was never clear about who was Day & who Fdn, but where are Matt Lucas and Jodie O'Grady, for starters? And weren't there lots more tech people on that big recruitment brochure that was posted about a month ago? They can't all be from Fdn.

What it says is that the big US orgs didn't get a 500-point bonus for going ideal last year. And Melbourne won't have it this year...

Count the staff in the two contrasted pictures

If you look at the first picture - see how small the tree is on the right of the picture?

Now split the staff behind the two EDs and count the number of Day staff there.

Then go to the bottom picture and count the number of Day staff. See how much bigger the tree is?

I make it that they've lost around thirty staff since the first picture was taken.

And THEY WON THE BIRTHDAY GAME?????

OMFG MELBOURNE ORG IS SCREWED

Good spotting Scooter.
Personally I think the original photo was padded out with staff from other orgs as it was the 'opening' photo.

Anyone with any news of Adelaide?

I don't actually have any leaks from Adelaide! (It must be very dead!)

All I have is Issue 400 of 'Comm Line', the org magazine but it is IDENTICAL to other ANZO orgs (except Melbourne), just full of generic scn international spam. There is only one paragraph of the mag that relates to Adelaide, which says they are creating an Ideal Org in Adelaide, and they have located a building. Of course it is still on 'approval lines' and they need more money to make it happen.

According to SO ED 5341 INT there are 27 different GDS that are awarded birthday game points for a Class V Org (affluence/power get more points + bonuses). I can upload the document if needed, it was leaked online many years ago.

What it says is that the big US orgs didn't get a 500-point bonus for going ideal last year. And Melbourne won't have it this year...

I have noticed a few funny things with the stats in recent months. When Cincinnati Ideal opened both Day and FDN got 282 points each for the weekly birthday game count (A week after opening they crashed to only 25 points each LOL). When Sacramento Ideal opened Day and FDN got 283 each that week. Is this the 500-bonus you are talking about or something different?

Note in the final stats posted Cincinnati has popped up in the top 10 and both Day and FDN have exactly 1812 points each. Its all very dodgy if you ask me..



BTW, where it says 107 staff total in the first post, is that Day only or Day/FDN combined? Also does anyone know if Day/FDN have a different dress code, or there is some way to tell them apart?

Hmmm. Don't know about the 282 point thing. All I know is that last year when I was still on staff and my org was in the hunt for the birthday game, our ED told us about the 500 point bonus the new ideal orgs got. We had a post-renovations "grand re-opening" and they CSW'd to get a 250-point bonus for it. Don't remember that they got it.

Also, the Day & Fdn orgs have identical uniforms, so it's impossible to tell them apart in a 2-org group photo.

To be fair, the tree is expanding.

In addition to the latest newsletters there will also be posted a selected backlog, because the crazy is just too good to miss.
