The 12th Fleet: Starbase Valhalla

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

The scheduling of the JUNE Meet is now CLOSED.

It is time to choose this month's meet date.

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. 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 say 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.

Currently, I am favoring [Sunday the 18th].

The other choices are Saturday the 10th, Sunday the 11th, [Saturday the 24th], and Sunday the 25th. Sorry, I have commitment to attend memorial at normal start time on the 17th this month, so it is off the list.

• 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.

Hmmm, some disadvantages to cut and paste. Actually, they were all June dates, month name was wrong, now corrected.

June 24 is perfect for me.

My only weekend off work (other than the current) is the 17 & 18th.

I'll be flying an experimental crusier build so theres that.

Well then, since as per the original post the 17th is off the table, that would make Sunday the 18th the lead date candidate. If anyone can't make it on the 18th, that could change the calculation, depending on their squad rank, but certainly it would change it if more than one person cannot make the 18th.

Scheduling has been open for over a week. Like last month, the choice of this meet date was between the best date for one person and the only available date for another. Following the selection criteria, only beats best. Therefore, the next SotM will be:

Sunday, June 18 st at 21:00 PM UTC (i.e., 10PM BST, 5PM EDT, 4PM CDT, 2PM PDT)

The scheduling of the June meet is now CLOSED.

Sysil and I will be trying some experimental builds this week, so if you fancy your chances...
