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 :!:


The scheduling of the FEBRUARY meet is now OPEN.


Hello All!
Getting started early on scheduling for next month!

    The leading option is Saturday the [19th].

    The other choices are: Saturday the [26th], Saturday the 12th, Saturday the 5th, Sunday the 27th, Sunday the 20th, Sunday the 13th, or Sunday the 6th.
If either the 5th or 6th or chosen, then selection will close on January 31st, to allow enough notice before the event. Otherwise, selection will close on February 3rd.

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). 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.

Well, it looks like Saturday the 19th is now the lead option, but the 12th and the 5th are still possibilities. :)

Your Squad Needs YOU!
Saturday, February 19 at 20:00 UTC
(i.e., 8PM GMT, 3PM EST, 2PM CST, 12PM PST)

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!

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 :!:


The Meet will convene on Discord in a channel labeled "Squad of the Month" at the time set forth above.

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. The winning squad gains the Squad of the Month trophy to display in its squad forum until the next meet, and each member of the squad whose attendance contributed to the victory is awarded an SotM ribbon.

Congratulations to Tactical's Gamma Squad ("Vipers") for winning the Squad of the Month meet for February 2022! Gamma won with an attendance victory, by mustering five :!: of its members during the initial grace period. Honorable showings were made as follows: Engineering's Charlie x2; Science's Epsilon x2, Section 31's Archer x2, Engineering's Alpha x1; and MACO's Bravo x1.


A prize of 20 million EC from our Fleet Bank was awarded based on dice roll among attenders. Although Marco had the highest roll, his free-to-play account allowed him a total of only 15 million in EC, so the prize was shared as follows:


Marco -- 14 Million EC
AshBlaster -- 6 Million EC

Kudos to all who participated in the meet with activities including: the initial competition; prize give-away; grand PvP Match; successful run of Undine Battle Zone; successful run of Battle of Korfez (Elite) mission with no successful missile launches by the boss at the end :); cruising of TFO queues (including a KDF group for several hours), build advice, and/or hanging out on Discord that went on until after 10:00 PM Central Time; including as follows:


AshBlaster
Cmdraftbrn
Compston
Gilush
Irishhawk ("Drake")
Jacen017
Jem_389
Kammus
Kuvak
Mavar
Marco
NDStache11
N5XTR ("Joel")
Ocie Denver
Steve14957
Stromgold
Sysil
BioHazzard90175 ("Vallrune")
