Unless Gumbeau says otherwise, A8thumpr was not an legitimate player and his scores will not count.

Simaril's scores will count as he is a legitimate player in FSO.

Upon Drone's agreement he will tally the final scores with these changes in mind.

Regardless of final scores I feel this event was close to a tie, and well played by all.

IMHO events that score this closely are some of the best that are had. as the close scoring tells me that very few saw a one sided battle or died without having a good fight.

Sled,

As XXX has stated, A8Thumper was a gate crasher.
He joined our mission uninvited, and with no communication at any time before, during, or after the event.

Please do your score tally without counting his efforts.

So noted. Thanks for all your input gentlemen!

Simaril's efforts have been reinstated, since he had gotten the 'OK' from Repoman when he was having the roster problem.

A8Thumpr's contributions have been erased.

Now.. if everybody would stop for a moment and observe all the wasted effort we spent to clarify these issues, any doubts about why we insist on a clean roster should be expunged.

There are going to be times when people arrive late and won't be listed in the squad when it's time to roll. Commanders you do not need to be in the squads page in the O'club to manage your squadron. All the essentials you will need to perform you can do in flight.

Here is the page covering the radio dot commands:
Dot Commands

Specifically, these are the ones you will need to know.

Command: .sqdname SquadName

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Parameters: SquadName; the name of the squadron
Available: Online
This command is used to change the name of the squadron. Only the CO or any persons in the squadron the CO has granted permissions to, can change the name of the squadron.

When you perform the .sqdname command, it will refresh the roster with the current squad name for all members, including any that may have just been invited. It is not necessary for new recruits to log out of the game and back in.

Command: .sqdinvite GameID

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Parameters: GameID; the pilot handle of the player
Available: Online
This command is used to send an invitation to a player requesting them to join the squadron. Only the CO or any persons in the squadron the CO has granted permissions to, can invite a player to the squad.

Command: .sqdeject GameID

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Parameters: GameID; the pilot handle of the player
Available: Online
This command is used to eject a player from the squadron. Only the CO or any persons in the squadron the CO has granted permissions to, can eject a player from the squad.

You will need that one for when your squad hits 32 members and you can't invite any more.

And, as is so often the case with scenarios running, you will eventually invite somebody who is already listed with a squad. If this is the case have them withdraw from their old squad. This can be done by them entering:

Command: .sqdwithdraw

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Parameters: NONE
Available: Online
This command is used to withdraw from a squadron. If the CO executes this command, the squadron is disbanded as well.

I hope you find this useful.

Oh.. and when you're mucking around with changing the squad names.. PLEASE, Oh Pretty Please, keep the name as close to possible as the name you have registered on the events server. It can be a headache trying to match up what squad is what when we're tracking things like attendance and CiC duties.

Thanks and good luck.

Even though the .sqdname SquadName command is for changing the squads name, you can in fact use the exact same name.

Just in case there are those as literal minded as I:D

Correct Hacksaw,

As a matter of fact, my squad "USMC/ 71sqn", is actually two separate squads in the SEA with the exact same name, CAPs and all. This way we are not constantly having to eject and invite people.

Also we all show together in the logs later.

Gumbeau · « **Reply #20 on:** June 18, 2007, 06:17:26 PM »

Sorry I wasn't around to reply.

Glad XXX and Savlan covered for me.

Is there a CM command to send someone from flight to the tower?

If so... I would suggest a procedure to advise the CM of intruders so he can put them in the tower.

That would have been the desired result for me with A8thumpr.

I worried half the frame about his presence in our mission.

Better yet we have the eject button. But we only like to use this as a last resort.

That's been on the CM Wishlist for a few years now.

Still hoping.

In that situation Gumbeau, and others. All you have to do is advise the Host CM that you have a possible "rouge" player that is flying without your consent. That set-up CM will contact that individual, and guide or eject him as necessary.

Simaril · « **Reply #24 on:** June 19, 2007, 03:37:53 PM »

I always thought that "rouge players" were allowed. After all, Silat has ....umm...dressed up for years!

Dux · « **Reply #25 on:** June 19, 2007, 06:14:16 PM »

Rgr that Sim... there's a whole squadron of "rouge" players.

*sigh* Is it really that hard to spell "Rogue"...?

Easyscor · « **Reply #26 on:** June 19, 2007, 06:30:03 PM »

You mean we're not a bunch of lipstick sissys? Dang, no more purses fights on Fridays and we'll have to stay exclusive to our 50 cal loving. Find us another fight Dux, I'm doing my part.

Just wondering if you've had a chance to correct the logs. Daddog's been running cumulative stats for the squad since our return...and like I said, I don't want to miss the rare chance to log a landing and survival!

BTW, thanks for the dot command review. Not sure if he's said anything to you directly, but our squad BBS has been busy with discussion about using them!

APDrone · « **Reply #28 on:** June 25, 2007, 08:20:45 PM »

When you say 'correct the logs'.. are you meaning to edit the log data and rebuild the reports showing you as in the squad?

If so, then the answer is 'no,' nor do I have any intention of changing the logs. Not to be mean, but mucking around with data seemingly leads to many hours of recovery due to a silly mistake.

I would highly encourage daddog to manipulate his data... please.

Glad you found the dot commands useful. Seems like every night there's a squad somewhere wrestling with them.

Simaril · « **Reply #29 on:** June 26, 2007, 12:31:01 PM »

Hee hee...misunderstood the plan. If the logs are a headache, of course DON'T touch them. Leave it all alone!

Thanks for your help, and all the FSO work!
