The 12th Fleet: Starbase Valhalla

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

The scheduling of the MARCH Meet is now OPEN.

Hello All,

Time to schedule this months Meet!

• Currently, I am favoring Sunday the [25th].
  
  The other choices are: [Saturday the 24th], Saturday the [31st], Sunday the 18th, and Saturday the 17th.

Note, because Europe goes on Daylight Savings/Summer Time later than the US this year, the time will be moved ahead for Europeans to 21 UTC (9PM GMT) if held on the 18th, 17th, or 24th.

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. 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.

I work the weekend of the 17th and 18th, and will be working on the 31st. Available on the 24th and 25th.

Sunday the 25th is the best day for me. I always work Saturdays.

OK then, looks like Sunday the 25th is in the lead now. Will leave selection open one more day.

Scheduling has been open for over a week. Two conflicts were raised to optional dates in the process. No conflicts were raised to the last suggested date. Therefore, the next Squad of the Month meet will be:

Sunday, March 25, at 21:00 UTC (i.e., 10PM BST, 5PM EDT, 4PM CDT, 2PM PDT)

The scheduling of the March meet is now CLOSED.

Space magic Sunday is a go.

Good, because it is too late to raise any conflicts now.

Won't be there. Grandy visiting for the night.
