Looking for FSO Setup CMs
« on: August 06, 2015, 08:49:03 PM »
Hey guys and girls,

We are actively looking for FSO Setup CMs amongst other spots on the CM team.

FSO Setup CMs rotate between Monthly Tours, and are responsible for setting up and moderating the arena. They also rotate "bouncing" the arena making sure players are in proper squad "uniform" before FSO starts.

If you are interested in being a setup CM, contact me via PM.  :aok
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

No replies.  So I will.  Candidly, it may ruin the game for you.  It is almost like the Matrix where you can see the code running.  But, you get to support the FSO community.  As an FSO setup, I am not suppose to single out our event and say that FSO is the best part of the game.  (But between me and you, FSO is the best part of the game.) And the FSO team, myself exclude of course, are the finest people you will ever meet.  Most of our private conversations end with the ruling: "Plissken, you are lucky to be here."  I have thought that for a long time, we should an intern program.  Every Friday, we take 2 or 3 and hold you captive on Chnl 202.  You are bouncer and you can watch the roster.  you see 49Goodguy long in out of colors and you relax and know that soon he will be on roster.  At the same time, you see a player called  Doggydump log in as a rook and ignores 3 PM's.  You think man, I am gonna to have to have him square by launch.  Everything is a button.  Some of the really good CM's don't even need buttons.  Some of the players you see on Friday night are Hallowed.  Warloc has lead FSO since Moses (if you count Daddog as Moses). Roc,  68Falcon and 68Raptor have forgotten more about being a CM than I will ever know.  Admins are weird.  They debate the smallest detail of an event.  Remember Coral Sea a few months ago and Bino tells you how many fighters were assigned to which carriers?  Doesn't that floor you?  Here's a guy that took the time to research all of that in detail for Friday Night Cartoon airplanes.  Truly the best in the game.  And here is a chance for you to join,  The Men in Black.  "Is it worth it?  Oh yeah it's worth it.  If you are strong enough."

On that private joke: "Plissken you are lucky to be here."  I love that joke because it it is incontestably true.  I am lucky to be here.  Anyone would be lucky to be here.   ~~~ Snake ~~~

I will be happy to apply for the Setup CM position.

I was a CM many years ago. Did a Saturday thing Combat Air Patrol it was called back in '02. Swoop, Gremlin, and myself ran it till it turned into FSO.

I know its been awhile but I probably wont need more than a little guidance to get up and running.

Let me know what you need. I am available almost every Friday night and would love to help out in FSO as I really enjoy it.

FSO is the best part of the game

This is the absolute truth.  I can tell you this, there is at least one person out there who realizes and appreciates all the work you guys do to put this on.  Me.  Thank you all very much.

Also, I am sorry, but I just do not have the skills required to help with this.  I also prefer just to be a cog in the wheel.  I joined JG11 because of Stampf and I knew I would be a follower, not a leader and that is exactly what I want and I still love it.

The CMs are trained to do Arena setups ect. We do not expect you to walk in and just start doing the job.
