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



By order of the Council of Admirals, after completion of the competition portion of the Meet, there will be a drawing at this month's SotM for:


PRIZE GIVE-AWAY
:!: 20 Million Energy Credits :!:

Plus and additional 15 million EC donated by Baharat from his winnings at last month's meet
for a total of
35 Million Energy Credits!


The scheduling of the February 2024 meet is now OPEN.


Hello All!

Time to schedule the next meet!

    The leading option is Saturday the [17th].

    The other choices are: Saturday the [24th] or Saturday the 10th.

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 competition and prize give-away in the first half-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). Extra weight is also given to allow attendance of those who are administrating/organizing of parts of the meet or special events for the meet (e.g., myself, Teklor, and frequently Stromgold) .

The date and time chosen depends ultimately on who wants to participate and who will actually show up. Be sure of your commitment when requesting a date change, not showing up on a date that has been changed to accommodate your schedule will mean your choice will get less weight in future picks.

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 TFO queues, and just hanging out together on Discord. We are a casual fleet, and participation in any portion of SotM is optional.

Rules for Competition: The winner of the competition is determined by attendance during the first 15 minutes of the meet ("the grace period"). The squad with the most members logging into the Discord channel during the grace period wins. However, if any squad shows up with its full membership during the grace period but still does not have enough numbers to win the competition, then the result will be a tie between all squads with their full membership attending and the squad with the largest number of members attending. If there is a tie, then the winner of the competition will be determined either by dice roll (".roll" using the Security Bot on Discord), or by any other method agreed upon between the tying parties (e.g., PvP match, trivia question, etc.). Any method other than dice roll for resolving a tie, must be approved by the convener of the meet (normally me) as being swift enough to be resolved simply without taking up the whole meet or leaving the winner undetermined beyond the end of the meet.

No, new rules say that event administrators do carry weight in selection, and we have been relying on you, Teklor, to watch over the PvE during the initial PvP match. ;) As a senior MACO officer Val's availability also carries more weight, but she did not say (yet) that she could not make it for the c. first half hour on the 17th. Therefore, Saturday the 17th is the favored date for the moment. Selection period remains open until this Friday.

Scheduling has been open now for over a week, a preference the originally suggested date, but a conflict was raised to that date. No conflicts were raised to the optionally suggested date. Therefore, the date of the meet will be:

Saturday, February 17 at 19:00 UTC (i.e., 8PM GMT, 3PM EST, 2PM CST, 12AM PST) :!:


The scheduling of this month's meet is now CLOSED.

The 24th was the better date for me as I was guaranteed to be free. The 17th looked ok but was not guaranteed, but things are stacking up and I'd say it's coin flip odds now whether or not I'm going to be able to make it
