Allies made a deal with Germany. We will give you all the sheep in the world just stay on the ground.

Nope... no axis orders here yet either.

Sounds like it will be a blast :aok

Allied CIC : To all Allied Pilots
Roll aircraft of choice and climb to 10,000 ft. Maintain 5K seperation from other Allied pilots to deny enemy's ability to accurately assess Allied strength. All Allied pilots are authorized to increase air speed by removing unnecessary weight like bombs and bullets in climb to 10,000 ft. Special cameras have been installed to take breath taking photos of the European landscape for the U.S. Bonds program. Volunteer Allied pilots wishing to partake in "Making Friends Abroad" program simply choose a desired location and bail from airplane.
Best wishes and see you later that evening at the O'club.
Axis CIC : To all Axis Pilots
Roll aircraft of choice. After 30 minutes of climbing and gazing at the wonderful cloud formations, please greet any incoming aircraft with your best "welcoming committee" jubilee. Please watch out for "New Friends" that may appear in the sky underneath a large piecees of cloth. Mark those locations so we may send our police to ensure their best health under our care.
Happy flying and Heil Helga!!!
I hope this clears up any confusion about late orders being sent.
-
Anyone see anything yet? This is cutting it too close :x
Thorsim... Are you out there???
-
Nothing here for Axis at least :noid
-
Nope no orders yet here either...
-
ahhh getting kinda late to not have any orders out yet isnt it?
-
Bueller...? Bueller...?
-
Hummmm.....dibs on the D-9 or the G-14 :headscratch:
-
We'll take the K4, then go "Protect some base, some where." Hopefully I can find one from the list, in the Frame Setup, that is't already claimed...
-
Just got the orders: shot the cons down!

?
Great scenario setup great planeset and no orders. Priceless.
-
Ok, enough kidding....where are the orders
-
The CM team is working on the issue.

ummm i sort of want to apologize however since i am PNG on the boards so i never ever log in
how the eff am i assigned cic and notified the day of the event ???
we beg and beg for a separate discussion board so there is something to read per orders and assignments and get stonewalled every time and now i get a pm the day of the event telling me i am cic and where are the orders ...
i.e. since there is no planning input on the boards and all orders go out through e-mail why would anyone look at the boards ...
i will try and get orders out but this whole system is comically preschool compared to the s3, time you guys grew the eff up and set up a board.

:rofl It works just fine for everyone but not you? I think the problem is on your end pal. It may not be the same in other games, but this is the way its been done since I've been here . Adapt to the situation or go back to S3, god knows they could use the extra players.

no it doesn't

Funny... I knew you were CIC a week and a half ago. At least 3 people in your squad get emailed and no one read the email...
Sounds like you guys need to talk more (and check your email more)...
-
yep, just incase i happen to be cic ...
any other reason to check it before t-60 ...
...
...
...
now you may get my point

Thorsim just do the orders. If you have issues with how FSO is run, take it up with Daddog (FSO team lead) or 68Raptor (CM team lead) after you fulfill your obligation.

CiC assignments were also also posted last week
CiC Frame 1 II/JG27 (last CiC date January 2010)
CiC Frame 2 VF-17 Jolly Rogers (last CiC date February 2010)
CiC Frame 3 The Unforgiven (last CiC date February 2010)

CiC assignments were also also posted last week
I received an e-mail last week stating that JG27 was the CIC for this upcoming FSO; do you not check your e-mail THOR? Now, I realize that being criticial will probably get JG77 into non-requested rides this frame (which will surely bring me the wrath of zila and confirm my suspicions); however I feel strongly enough about this that I must point out to you that if you do not check your e-mail then how is it the fault of the guys that run the FSO? Are you not a CO? How much hand-holding is required? Would you like a phone call, a certified letter..or what? A simple "I screwed up," would have sufficed and shown that you take responsibilty for your screw-up...instead you blame the system, that works for everyone else, on the fact that we still do not have orders 10 hours before the FSO. Were you not wondering yourself, as a CO, where the heck the orders were?
Apparently the e-mail did require you to click on a link (I know pretty tough) that would have shown you who the CiCs are.

Gents,
FSO side assignments have been posted for September. You can view them
here on the forums.
http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,295667.0.html
Or here on the events site.
http://www.ahevents.org/fso-view-side-assignments.html
Objectives for Frame 1 will go out tonight or tomorrow.
<S>

----------------------------------------------------------------
I for one appreciate all the time and effort the organizers of the FSO have put into an event of this scale. It surely cannot be an easy task, and having people complain about it is probably not adding to the "fun" of organizing these events. I for one :salute all of you FSO CMs.
This is my personal opinion, and mine only, if you are man enough you won't take it out on JG77 overall...we'll see.

I'm sorry thor but everyone else here has a point. You really don't have a leg to stand on my friend. How long have your and your squad participated in FSO? You should know that the objectives usually come out the week before, or most of the time at the latest the Saturday or Sunday before the first frame, and you know where they are posted on the bbs and on ahevents.org. I myself had objectives in my e-mail inbox on Saturday, August 28. I have also seen side assignments and what squads had CiC duty for the 3 frames on the bbs.
Let's see, you posted in another thread in the FSO Forum on September 1.
the lack of input for side planning is seemingly on a walk on event level ...
frustration due to perpetual lack of success can be an event killer as well ...
The side assignments that contained which squads had CiC duty were posted on August 27.
Objectives will go out tonight or tomorrow.
Frame 1 will be on Sept. 3rd.

CiC Frame 3 The Unforgiven (last CiC date February 2010)
Total Commitments Axis Min: 183 Max: 250
As always if anyone is unable to CiC please post or PM to find a replacement. It is a squads responsibility to find a replacement CiC if necessary, not the CM's.
Had to cut that down a little for size.
Also, you're not PNG my friend, you're a Parolee which I will probably be as well once this is done and it's locked down. I'm just saying I don't buy the excuses and reasons. You failed to do what was expected of you and then come in here complaining about the system trying to shift the blame away from you but as others have shown as well it's all on you. There was a slight glimmer of an apology there but it never materialized. Just be a responsible individual which a CO of a squad should be, even though not all are, and admit to the mistake, apologize to all that are on the Axis side for this one, and move on. I'm sure this all could have been avoided if that's how you would have started it in the first place but when you start trying to shift blame and make excuses you should know by now that this community doesn't put up with that too well.
Best of luck to you this week.

this all took me off guard guys, checking the preferred rides i see that i am not the only one not "on top" of things completely. it might be helpful if the CMs would e-mail the CICs a notification/reminder as soon as the CICs are assigned ...
the "form for event sides" would be for input into plans ant would be very good for effectiveness involvement and interest beyond frame night ...
as far as plane requests, like i said a forum would be very helpful ...
all just suggestions, but they are good ones.
axis players and squads: plan done, orders being typed, email out by 5:00 eastern, apologies for the delay.

p.s. i know my status on the boards better than anyone so call it what you will but my access is very limited therefore so is my interest.
-
thorsim, we all knew that you were CiC on Saturday. It is now Friday.
perdweeb
-
respectfully ...
if you are telling someone to do something, it would be nice to tell them. responsibility and consideration goes both ways gentlemen.
-
Gotta check Side Assignments and CiC assignments like the rest of us. Not complaining just mentioning for future references.

Ok, we get it. Lets save the bashing and angry comments for after the event or better yet lets just move on. Nothing good can come of it at this point in time. :old:

understood i screwed up, for future reference lets send out CIC alerts to the specific players squads responsible so no one ever needs to feel like i/we do now ...

Would'nt be a bad idea for all axis co's to glance over this frames' objectives before tonight.. :old:
-
not to sound like a jerk, but there is an upside here.....
the german command in WW2 was often confused and unaware of the big picture, and argued amongst themselves often.........like we are here.
you say disorganized, i say, perfectly historical and accurate to the re-enactment of the second world war :D
i'll shut up now.

This seems to be the only point not getting through so I feel I need to address it in this thread. The rest of the comments prior I will shoot you an e-mail about.
You were sent a CiC alert along with every other squad in FSO. Not only were you sent one, but so was everyone else you have listed as an FSO contact. Specifically:
rich (thorsim): richboswell at ...
Otis (lethrnek): gyrene81 at ...
Wagger (wagger): fphpcp at ....
Jeff (jeffn): jeffandapril at...
You and three other contacts for your squad received notification. And, as already mentioned it was posted in these forums. Sending you a 'private' e-mail about CiC duties seems redundant especially if your already not reading your FSO e-mails.
If you have a different e-mail account you wish to be contacted with please change the one you listed as your FSO contact address.
-
respectfully we were sent nothing that was called a CIC alert.
wouldn't it be prudent to make sure those responsible for the planning knew that they were up?
really, are another six e-mails too much work to ensure that everyone is aware and prepared?
???

6. Responsibilities.
Squad C.O.'s and X.O.'s are expected to keep up with the Squad Operations forum and current happenings of Squad Operations.
http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,295667.0.html
Not only was the information posted in these forums on Aug 27th, (above link), but a follow up e-mail. In addition, I am not sure the e-mail/s you requested would have been read. ;)
Please review the FSO rules. Sending out another 2, 6 or 20 e-mails is not the answer. Following the rules and guidelines for FSO is.
