What Trackers Should Be Doing Right Now

Someone on the Elf Wall got a little wiggy the other day because Elf Pinky had not posted something new for a day or two.

Relax, elves. There’s a reason why you’re not hearing a ton from your Elf Supervisors: I’ve asked them not to post anything unless it is absolutely necessary.

With 5 sectors, a bunch of punchy elves in Flight Command, and millions of new trackers out there this website and our direction as a team in tracking Santa for Santa can become a big mess in a hurry if the Supes are posting a ton of stuff every day.

So how do you know what to do?

Well, for new trackers, it’s simple: first, go to Elf University and learn your job. Then, go to your sector news page and see everything your Elf Supervisor has posted for your Sector. Once you are caught up with all that you should know what to do.

Now, for ALL trackers right now, this is what we should be doing.

1. Weather reports, at least once weekly. This is becoming more and more important as Flight Command keeps sending out more sleighs. We need reports from everywhere.
2. Sleigh sighting reports. If you see one, report it. We are getting a LOT more reports of sleighs in the skies. Get pictures if you can.
3. Set up your home tracking center. Talk to other elves on the Elf Wall for ideas.
4. Listen to North Pole Radio News. I’m on there and I have a lovely voice.
5. Watch the North Pole Flight Command website. It has the most current news for trackers.
6. Recruit some new trackers. We just don’t have enough of them.

And that’s about it right now. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. If there is some big urgent important need in your sector your Elf Supervisor will post it. If they post something, do it. Right away. Check in daily. But for the most part, I’ve asked them to keep things to a minimum to keep down the distractions and the confusion.

Oh, remember: next Sunday, the 21st of December, I will be hosting the last North Pole Chat of the season at SantaUpdate.com. Guess what we’ll be talking about. That’s where final tracking direction will come. Be there if you can.

Thank you for your efforts.
