Operation Performance
Solid turnout for yesterday's mission on PS2; looking forward to tonight's.
Continuing to push basic mastery elements: use of numbers for call-sign, distribution of force, etc.
Opportunity still exists for individuals wishing to lead squads: simply volunteer, there's no detriment to be had.
Rank Evaluation / Roster Consolidation
In the near future, ranks will be finally re-evaluated and a core roster developed.
A bit of a challenging task, due to our distribution among games.
Lot more decentralized than what we were used to on SL.
Probability that initial elevations will even be passed on to individual unit commanders: ex; platoon lead can issue commendation people up to E-3, etc.
Still trying to figure the best way to handle the actually publication of ranks-- forums, database, etc.
The Uphill Battle
General post-SL fugue. Sentiment that I believe many share: SL was a lot of work, trying our damndest to avoid a lot of work here.
Reality? Any group building will be work.
However, going to focus on simply feeling out what's out there, recruit, and shaking off years of SL based habits.
Not going to be overly sensitive about "pulling weight;" going to give officers until 01MAR13 to select their area of interest to be afforded their position.
Group will certainly continue building, but a brief respite is likely a solid idea to let folks simply take a breath after a long run.
In short: we'll worry about recruitment and grasping what's facing us in our new adventure, then start worrying more about structure and formality.
Light Hearted Events Pending
Flash races across Indar? Probably.
Going to be offering up SC for winners. Should be totally ridiculous but entertaining.
