All very valid points. Officers should be taking command when able. But keep in mind, when able. Please don't walk up to an officer, or chime in over comms and say "Hey, Triplicarius John! Why arent you OIC?" That's massively disrespectful. In most cases, if an officer isn't in command, it's because they know they would not be able to adequately hold the position. If you think an officer may be unaware that a Squigglysaurus is the OIC, send them an Instant Message asking if they could take it. Another point I'd like to bring up is, if Sesquiplicarius Joe is NCOIC, and Decurion Sam is active enough to criticize, then Decurion Sam is also active enough to BE the NCOIC, and as well he should.
