CHAT LOG:

[14:33] Steeltael Lykin: Alright then. looks like this is all for attendance today.

[14:33] Steeltael Lykin: I'll be as brief aspossible so we can go out and do something.

[14:36] Steeltael Lykin: Last week I announced a incentive or contest to reward whomever participated in the most century events or trainings. That was on Thursday , So I'd like to ecnourage everyone to put together a small practice session here and there, and to document it on the training forums. We always improve by practicing what we learn in our larger sessions. To put it into perspective. When I was yonger I was a avid Taekwondo student. But Icouldnt go to class every single day. I got good at it by practicing at home. Taking what I'd been taught and repeating it frequently untilit was sort of second nature.

[14:38] Steeltael Lykin: Everyone here has been doing very well. But there is always room for improvement. We can always squeeze in that one extra training. Or work on that pet project we've been thinking about for some time.

[14:39] Steeltael Lykin: There isnt any specifically important new's, other then to remind everyone that the contest's end date is this Thursday. So if your interested in the prize, to get practicing with your unit!

[14:41] Steeltael Lykin: Also, As a reminder, Rapax is always open to your idea's and suggestions. As well as any of your non combat related talents too! If you have a idea, put it on a notecard and it will get looked at! I'll bring up any suggestions or reccomendations from this point on.at every weeks meeting right beforeopen floor discussion.

[14:42] Steeltael Lykin: Alright then.

[14:42] Steeltael Lykin: Today we're goign to be doing some drills and combat practice. But, I'd liek your idea's and opinions on what you want to learn about or recieve more training in today?

[14:43] Yoki Mistwalker raises hand

[14:43] Steeltael Lykin: Yes Yoki?

[14:44] Yoki Mistwalker: I found something I need a little improvement on and might help for others a little bit. Some other tatics where when moving in combat is not perticable. Sorry can't spell today

[14:45] Steeltael Lykin: So, you'dlike to learn more about being less preditcable in your movement?

[14:45] Yoki Mistwalker: Yes

[14:45] Steeltael Lykin: Alright.

[14:45] Steeltael Lykin: Anyone else have a request for specific training?

[14:46] Steeltael Lykin: Okay then, Open floor discussion time. Anyone have anythign to bring up or suggest?

[14:47] Steeltael Lykin: Anybody?

[14:47] Morh Giffen raises a hand

[14:47] Steeltael Lykin: Mr Giffen

[14:48] Morh Giffen: Just a suggestion for our day to day operation

[14:48] Steeltael Lykin: Alright, please elaborate

[14:49] Morh Giffen: Like your training request just now, Yoki, or when anyone has similar training desires or just plain questions about something - ask in the Rapax group chat. Regardless of the time of day. You'll likely get an answer right away regarding whatever combat tactics question you had, and quite possibly a personalized training session, as well

[14:51] Morh Giffen: I don't want to get on your nerves by asking every single day "tell me if you want training" in IMs, that just ticks you off (I can demonstrate if you want! :P)

[14:51] Yoki Mistwalker: lol Skittles can volunteer for thet :P

[14:51] Morh Giffen: So if it's in the early afternoon, or late night SLT - I'm around. The rest of the time Steel is around. Bring those questions up outside of meetings, it makes it easier for everyone.

[14:51] Yoki Mistwalker: that*

[14:51] Morh Giffen: *laugh*

[14:52] Reactiv Sun is Offline

[14:52] Steeltael Lykin: While I would not say that, That is a day to day operation issue. I would however agree it's a good idea to just ask!. There are several experienced members of Rapax who can help you practice combat. And even newer members are great sparring partners.

[14:52] Morh Giffen: Oh I'm not saying it's an issue. I'm saying you can have answers right away most of the time.

[14:53] Avnas Etzel is Online

[14:53] Steeltael Lykin: If you find yourself in a rough spot. And want some 1 on 1 training or some personal attention on your skills. do not ever hesitate to ask anyone on the staff such as myself, or Exterminatus, or Morh. But you can also ask Vinnie as well. he's been around a long long time in SL combat

[14:53] Mercury: New contact: Nikki4 Aquitaine

[14:53] Nuada Soothsayer is Offline

[14:53] Nikki4 Aquitaine is Online

[14:53] Steeltael Lykin: but, Ask your comrades in general. I got good at combat by spending hours in the killhouse with random members of my unit

[14:53] Vinnie Lei waves his rusted bayonet from his (t)rusty Kar98k

[14:54] piDelia Magic raises hand

[14:54] Steeltael Lykin: Yes piDelia?

[14:54] piDelia Magic: one day we could do a training with another squad, for example rapax v/s liberatix, it would be interesting to do in Chronus, this can help to improve teamwork.

[14:56] Steeltael Lykin: While training with another squad is good. I'd rather mix its members together and pit mixed forces against one another. I do not want to inspire any hostile or negative competitive nature

[14:57] Steeltael Lykin: In short, a Us versus them scenario is not likely.

[14:57] Vinnie Lei raises tail,hand,antenna.

[14:57] Steeltael Lykin: Yes vinnie

[14:58] Morh Giffen: In the past we've mixed it up, has always been an effective training experience. Though with the additional coordination required these joint trainings occur slightly less often than normal trainings. Though - whenever the opportunity presents itself we do them.

[14:58] Vinnie Lei waits for Morh to finish

[14:58] Morh Giffen: Sorry Vinnie - go ahead

[14:58] Steeltael Lykin: This is currently open floor discussion. you do not need to raise your hands and be acknowledged to speak.

[14:59] Vinnie Lei: I dunno, but I'd like to see some non-combat get-togethers too... I dunno.. randomly /1 rez a poker table, or slopoly, or whatever. have fun? or tell jokes. it's not like everything has to be about putting lead into your comrades :P

[14:59] Anthony Lehane is Offline

[14:59] Yoki Mistwalker: I wouldn't make a game of greed or something. Not if sure everyone likes playing greend

[14:59] Morh Giffen: Recommend a good poker table?

[14:59] Yoki Mistwalker: Greed*

[15:00] Vinnie Lei: Texas Hold 'em?

[15:00] Steeltael Lykin: Well, We can certainly look into a non combat related get together.

[15:00] Morh Giffen: I mean, brand specifically. I'll IM you about that later.

[15:00] Xiolin Furlough: Greedy greed is a good game

[15:00] Xiolin Furlough: <.<

[15:00] Xiolin Furlough: >.>

[15:00] Morh Giffen: Never played that

[15:00] Xiolin Furlough: or whatever its called

[15:01] Steeltael Lykin: Okay then, We'll explore non combat related options as well.

[15:01] Yoki Mistwalker nods

[15:01] Steeltael Lykin: conscript you into the minecraft cult or something.

[15:01] Vinnie Lei: No.

[15:02] Vinnie Lei: :|

[15:02] Morh Giffen: Imma stay away from minecraft, it sounds evil

[15:02] Steeltael Lykin: Alright. Anyone else have any input to share before we go do some drills?

[15:02] Yoki Mistwalker: No more from me

[15:03] Steeltael Lykin: Any questions, comments, suggestions, complaints?

[15:03] Xiolin Furlough raises paw

[15:03] Steeltael Lykin: Yes Xiolin?

[15:05] Xiolin Furlough: Just wanted to mention even though some of you may not seem to show interest in the ART (Achievement Rating Tiers), it is highly advised you go ahead and read up on the forum posting of it as it will be going like hotcakes throughout Ordo, and I wouldnt want to see any of you left behind or confused on what is going on. If you dont have the link to said forum post, or dont even know what the ART is, you can go ahead and IM me, and I'll get ya the links and such.
