Be fair and liberal with disco re-up's.
« on: September 19, 2009, 01:29:37 PM »
 I think most of us veterans of FSO will agree that disco's in FSO seem a little more common since the update. It doesn't really matter if its game bugs or the "tubes" of the internet are clogged if the discoteer
is given a restart. Things take on a different tone however when a player is denied a re-up and five minutes later he watches from the tower as 2 members of the moderaters squad ask for and get a disco
re-up. I know the mods are busy but this is the kind of  frustration that can be avoided. Please try to be
accommodating as possible....to everybody.

I admit that a couple of reups do seem out or the ordinary, but the 1 "vanished without a trace" from your squad was well within the T+15 minute "no ask- no tell- just grab a plane and try again" time frame.

Did it take a long time to get back into the game, did he not know that you do not need permission to re up within the first 15 minutes as long as you have not been engaged or are you refering to something else intirely?

Not trying to argue the point from either side. Just a reminder for everyone about the 15 minute re up rule. 2 of my squad asked who they had to talk to about 7 minutes into the frame. Both have been in plenty of FSOs and just as soon as one was reminded of the rule, here came the other back from the disco lounge.

Nice kill BTW :salute

Who is the 'moderaters squad'? Who was allowed to reup after you were denied?

After T+30, there is no re-ups for any reason (unless you are in a second life AC)


I myself have been denied a disco re-up at T+32 minutes. As it should be.


Also you ONLY get re-ups for disco, or crash on TO, at the beginning of frame. If this happens inside of T+15, you normally do not need to ask. T+15  -  T+30, let the set-up know on PM or 202vox.

DO NOT use country vox, as there is no way to guaranty that the set-up will see that.
