YOU :!: are Invited to
The Fleet-Wide Squad of the Month Meet!


The scheduling of the August Meet is now OPEN.

Hello All,

Time to schedule this month's Meet! Choices are somewhat limited because I have been away vacationing in California and Wyoming, and it is too late to give notice for scheduling it on this coming weekend.

    Currently, I am favoring Saturday the 25th.

    The other choices are: Sunday the 26th, Saturday the 18th, and Sunday the 19th.


Scheduling Rules:
Post your scheduling choice in a reply below. Note that dates you say you cannot attend are more important than the dates that you say you prefer in deciding the date of the meet. We are trying to get the highest turn out of all squad members for the first hour. Thus, if 5 people prefer a date but 1 more can attend only on another date, then the date on which 6 can attend will win even though 5 of the 6 preferred a different date. It is assumed that you can attend all the date options, unless you clearly state otherwise in a post below or have communicated that fact to me directly.

Extra weight is given to the votes of squad captains, squad XOs, and anyone who is actually committing to showing up at a time (as opposed to "maybe" showing). Scheduling depends ultimately on who wants to participate and who will actually show up. In order to get the maximum turn out from US and European members, our starting time is traditionally set on a weekend at 10 PM in UK (which in winter is the same as GMT/UTC), but the time chosen depends on who is committing to be there.

What is Squad of the Month?
The Squad of the Month ("SotM") meet is a monthly fleet event which starts with an inter-squad competition to determine the Fleet's Squad of the Month. The competition is followed by group activities which may include: build advice, challenge match PvP, teaming up to cruise the PvE/PvP queues, and just hanging out together on TS. We are a casual fleet, and participation in any portion of SotM is optional.

The rules for the competition can be found posted here. The competition portion of the meet is not designed for perfect balance; there is no great honor in winning, nor dishonor in losing. It is intended mostly to provide a focus activity for everyone at the event which allows us to hang out together, improve our gaming skills, and have fun. :)

No fires nearby while in California or Wyoming, but we did have to cancel one hike due to too much smoke from the Ferguson fire.

I wish I could show up but I work Saturday's until Midnight EDT. Full blown cancer and working full time. Ugh. I'm actually thinking about getting back into this game. Canceled my Wow Sub because of the new expansion.

Take it easy - health comes first! You are always welcome to participate as a Veteran, and switching back to active membership requires only PM to your VA. :)

Your Squad Needs YOU!
Saturday, August 25 at 21:00 UTC
(i.e., 10PM BST, 5PM EDT, 4PM CDT, 2PM PDT)

Squad of the Month meet is THIS SATURDAY!
Attendance is a big part of scoring the winner. Don't let your squad go down without a fight!

The Meet will convene on Team Speak in a channel labeled "Squad of the Month" at the time set forth above. The rules for the Meet are here. The squad competition is in the first 30 minutes to an hour and is open to current members of any of the recognized division squads in the Fleet. After that we will have build advice, a challenge match PvP, teaming up to cruise the queues, and just hanging out together on TS.
