The role of dispatcher is primarily for experienced Rats to help manage and coordinate the chaos that can happen in #fuelrats during multiple rescues. When there's one rescue in progress the role of Dispatcher is almost not needed, but when there's multiple cases and CRs going on the Dispatcher collects, analyzes and distills information while coordinating a rescue plan with the rats, and instructing the client of what actions they need to take, all the time weighing risks and decisions based on game mechanics and our SOP.
What Dispatch Is:
- Communicator
- Getting information to and from the client and rats while the others are busy
- Planner
- Working with the rats to develop a plan when rescues are non-standard
- Primary Point of Contact
- They're the main "face" of the Mischief that the client sees and talks to until the limpet is fired
- Planner
- Working with the rats to develop a plan when rescues are non-standard
- Partner
- They're a partner in the rescue, working with the rats and client for a successful outcome
- Facilitator
- They help progress the rescue from step to step for a successful outcome
- Trusting and Respectful
- As you want to be trusted and respected to do the job of dispatcher you need to trust and respect the Rats working with you to do their job (reporting only what needs to be reported)
