The Fleet-Wide Squad of the Month Meet! 20 Million Energy Credits Hello All! Time to schedule the next meet!
The other choices are: Saturday the [27th]. (Narrowed down the choices this month to reflect that Sundays are rarely an option based on organizers' availability.) 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. |

I would prefer the 20th, but the 27th works (just can't stay as long) |

Well no absolute conflicts with the 27th, but several have voiced preference for the 20th, and a partial conflict I had with that date is resolved. Therefore, "Saturday the 20th" is now the favored option. Will keep the selection open until tomorrow, before closing and announcing. |

Scheduling has been open now for over a week, and no prohibitive conflicts were voiced to the suggested date, but requests were made for the optional date to which no conflicts were raised. Therefore, the date of the meet will be: |

Your Squad Needs YOU! Saturday, January 20 at 20:00 UTC (i.e., 8PM GMT, 3PM ET, 2PM CT, 12PM PT) Squad of the Month meet is THIS COMING SATURDAY! Earth Space Dock ("ESD") The exact spot at ESD will be determined at the time. This will take the place of the customary gathering at our Fleet Space Station. The gathering in game at a public location is to show off our fleet label to the STO community. As always, the Meet will convene on our Discord in a channel relabeled "Squad of the Month" at the time set forth above. After completion of the competition portion of the Meet there will be a drawing on Discord for: 20 Million Energy Credits What is Squad of the Month? The Squad of the Month ("SotM") meet is a monthly fleet event which starts with an inter-squad attendance competition to determine the Fleet's Squad of the Month.

Rules for Attendance Competition: The winner of the competition is determined by attendance during the first 15 minutes of the meet (the "grace period").

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. |
