History

Lets face it, we all do stupid stuff in this game. Wouldn’t it be cool to have someone along that not only encourages it, but will laugh at you while they are patching you up? We thought so too, so we formed The Nightingale Initiative. We are a loose group of casual players with a focus on the medic game loop.

If I’m going to be 100% honest, we probably won’t single-handedly fight off multiple waves of Friday night griefers to come pull you out of a jam, there is another group that you can reach out to for that one, but We will accompany you on some missions if you want to knock out some content before the next patch.

We are a casual group of new and veteran players with multiple years experience in Star Citizen and with all of the current medical hardware. Hell, we even know how to use some of it. We have access to a vast fleet of well-equipped ships and we do events with multiple orgs. We swear, we mock each other, and occasionally insult each other, but we have fun doing it. If there is something you want to do and think some extra guns and Band-Aids will help, hit us up. If you want to be a part of these shenanigans, send us an application.

The Nightingale Initiative – If you are going to do something stupid, we’ll be right there with you.

Manifesto

Manifesto is such a tedious word and it strikes up images of twenty-somthings hiding in the steam-tunnels of Lorville filling notebooks full of rants and ravings about how Hurston Security is an armed tool of the bourgeoisie and oppressing the proletariate.

The Nightingale Initiative slogan sums us up nicely. “If you are going to do something stupid, we’ll be right there with you.”

Charter

Mission

The Nightingale Initiative mission is to field personnel and equipment provide medical support to all mission loops in the shared Star Citizen world.

Vision

We envision providing this service free and with a good and marginally irreverent spirit.

Core values

The Nightingale Initiative values fun and entertainment alongside an understanding of players real-life schedule and responsibilities.

We value camaraderie above all. Friends and fun are the core of this experience and we value fostering friendships. We invite players of all levels to join in the fun.

We value shared knowledge. Tips, tricks, hints help at all levels of the game are offered and well received. We belong to a vast network of experienced veterans that can help navigate the many quirks of the Star Citizen experience. Likewise, we are receptive to new tips that may help improve our user experience.

We will support all modes of game-play including piracy but we do not support griefing/bullying behavior.

Goals

The goals are to be able to field a squad of players that will promote extended time in the field because of our ability to hold off player deaths and loss of equipment. In the event of a player down, we want to bring the respawn/resupply mechanic to the operation rather than having to come in from a main city.

We will endeavor to understand and adapt to changes in the medical game loop in the game and use it to the best of our abilities.

Organizational structure

The organizational structure will consist of a group of trusted players that are empowered to make calls that affect the day to day operations. To be clear, this is not a leadership council or officers, but rather a group of players that understand the vision and can make administrative decisions and have the capacity to make admin changes at the application level. Every member has equal rank in the field.

Because the Org application makes us have roles, we must assign them. These roles are more indicative of the last thing we mocked you for rather than having any actual meaning. In order to satisfy the requirements of the Org application on RSI, we have selected the following:

  • Rank 0 – “Forgot to put on Helmet”
  • Rank 1 – “Might Shoot You”
  • Rank 2 – “Shouldn’t Fly”
  • Rank 3 – “Dumb-ass”
  • Rank 4 – “Smart-Ass”
  • Rank 5 – “Wise-Ass”

Commitment to the Community

We are committed to making the game richer and more fun for those that we encounter.

Participant Expectations

We hate having to put this here, but the reality is that it is necessary. Unacceptable behavior won’t be tolerated. Rule number one is Don’t be a dick. Other rules are to leave politics, religion, race, and thoughts about what others should or shouldn’t be doing with their naughty bits at the door. These topics do not matter here. Finally, if you have a problem with another NIIN player, be an adult and take it up with them directly out of NIIN comms. No one else cares, we do not need the drama.

We reserve the rights to put you in a time out or to boot you completely. Please don’t let this even be a discussion.
