Purpose of this meter
A number of you have asked for feedback on the status of MO:ULagain. Are donations covering MO:ULagain expenses? How many have signed up? How many are logging in? Here is a succinct way to easily see where we're at that's relatively easy to keep up to date.
Some of you already know the C.O. Meter, which was loosely based on the Homeland Security Advisory System. CAVCON (Cavern Condition) is loosely based on the Armed Forces' DEFCON (Defense Readiness Condition), which most of us know from the movie Wargames. :) It reflects the financial health of MO:ULagain.
CAVCON Level Definitions
CAVCON 5: Unlike some movies, which get the DEFCON levels backwards, CAVCON 5 is the best state. It means that donations are exceeding MO:ULagain expenses, there are a couple of months of MO:ULagain expenses in reserve, and extra money can be put toward server upgrades, bug fixes, new content, incorporating fan created content, etc.
CAVCON 4: This level means that donations are exceeding MO:ULagain expenses, and we are building a small reserve fund for future slow periods.
CAVCON 3: Donations are roughly equal to MO:ULagain expenses.
CAVCON 2: Donations are less than MO:ULagain expenses, and we're currently using the reserve fund to help pay for MO:ULagain expenses.
CAVCON 1: Donations are less than MO:ULagain expenses, and the reserve fund is empty. This would be A Bad Thing (tm).
