CMDR/CPT Daniel Klivian reporting in for Omicron Squadron on the week of 19 October, 2001

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wing News:
-Wing vs Wing comp still almost finished, I wonder for how long still :P
-ECR phase III has started, get your graphics in by 29/10
-HGK coming soon

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Squadron News:
-I finally got the new Omicron banner uploaded, through the FSE's new banner uploader. (remember the Omicron banner comp waaaayyy back, that banner :P)
-LCM Alain has proposed the idea of having a Omicron Citations Officer (CitO) and I like the idea, so anyone interested in the position, mail me. What does the CitO do, you may ask...the CitO goes through all Omicron pilots' combat record, looks at the Omicron Citations, compares all that, and suggests (but strongly suggests!) to flying-capably pilots which battles to fly. Of course all competition battles are first and foremost to fly, and that's what the CitO is to suggest as primary battle to fly.
-AV has given me the access codes for the Omicron site on www.isdcolossus.com If anyone is interested in helping to make the site, mail me, if nobody is, I'll make it by myself, so don't feel absolutely obliged.

Squadron Orders:
The official Omicron Squadron Standing Orders:

Part A: For Everyone:
1) Abide all Colossus standing orders. (to be found on the Colossus web-site)

2) Competitions and other activity's: Everyone must submit something to a competition inside our squadron/ship, as long as they have the required tools needed for it (for flying comps TIE Fighter, for Graphic comps a Graphic Workshop)

3) Leaves: When you go on holiday, you go for a long weekend somewhere or anything that will prevent you from checking your e-mails and parrticipating in any other form of activity for more then 24 consecutive hours, do two things: set your TC profile on Leave status (log in on the site, select edit profile, scroll down until you find Turn Leave Status On, make sure that's checked, and then put the reason of your leave in the textbox, click submit at the bottom of the page and your done.) Second: mail me telling me the exact same stuff you put on your profile (when you're leaving, why, and when your coming back)
Note: This also counts for exams that you really and absolutely want to put yourself 100% for (actually should be all exams :P) and you want to get all distractions away from you, so you're not going to check your e-mails, then also put your leave status on for the duration of your studying+exam and notify me.

4) Semi-leaves: Other hindering RL stuff: If you have other things in RL (RL always comes first, of course!!) to do that prevent you from flying but you can still check your e-mails, you don't have to put your leave status on if you don't want, but do mail me telling me that so I know you can't fly for any comps.

5) Contact: Everyone is allowed and advised to seek out contact with me, using ICQ, MSN Messenger, AIM, IRC or e-mail or even through the zone. All my contact info is available on my personnel profile.

Part B: For FLs only:
1) Flight Leaders are to make a report of their flight every week, not public like my Weekly Squadron Report, but personal and give recommendations and individual activity reports for your FMs.

2) FLs are also advised to seek out contact with your FMs, through ICQ, MSN Messenger, AIM, etc. and keep contact through e-mail with them and me.

3) FLs are also supposed to be a example for your FMs, and a good example at that. That means, fly when you have to, participate in comps, keep in touch, and abide by all these rules!

Part C: For FMs only:

1) Everything you submit, and that means from tfrs to submissions for a fiction competition etc, go to not only the judge (in a case of a comp outside of the squadron), but also to me, and your FL. You are also advised to seek out contact with your FLs and fellow FMs (especially those in your Flight).

2) There is a certain minimum you need to do to be an active member of the squadron (meaning not getting shipped off to the RSVs for inactivity), namely, fly at least 1 mission a week. One mission is hardly a lot to ask for per week. If your joystick/TIECD/etc. is broken and you can't fly, try to participate in a graphics competition, fiction competition or try to do something. If you need ideas for graphics, just ask me for some examples, I'll always be able to give you some. If you continue to not do any activity, don't give a good reason for not doing so, then you may be subject to be transferred to the RSVs, which I will then discuss with COM Mell and WC Absolut Vodka.

Primary: Make your ECR graphic and submit it to your FL, me, the WC, and Mell (deadline 29/10)
Secondary: Fly! We need citations, until a CitO is appointed, start from TC 1 and work your way upwards
Tertiary: Recruit! We need more pilots! Notes 1) Recruit LEGALLY!! If you aren't sure about how to and how not to recruit, I suggest you read the FSO at
http://www.btinternet.com/~spellfire/general.html
b) I will give you an ISM for every two pilots you recruit into Omicron; you don't need to have gotten an MoI, but you need to give me a proof that you recruited the CT

CMDR's Corner:
-All in all, especially comparing to last week's WSR, I must say, good job Omicron! LT Robert has slowed down a bit, but I can understand after last week's flying frenzy.
-I hope this new CitO position is going to work out, just remember, as nutty as our ideas may seem, a wise man once said: "It's the weirdos that change the world" (and if no wise man said that before now, I just did :P)
