-COM having computer problems.
-Squadleague going on
-All Colossus squadrons have been knocked out of the BG Highlander comp :/

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

-The first round of the Squadleague has ended with an overall rather disgracefull loss for us. For one, I had no submissions except for LT Ardeth, whos mission I didn't get to BSF in time since I was…well, sleeping :P. And I do apologize for not reporting in for the squadleague comp to Drake, I should've reported in even if there wasn't anything to report in.
In any case, round two is on, and let's do better this time! I already have LT Ardeth's submission, now the rest! The mission is TIE-FREE 183, so get to it! (oh and by the way, our opponent is Eta)
-Omicron renaming competition has ended, and since I believe the amount of submissions is rather poor compared to what we could've thought up, I'm going to leave the Squadron's motto/nick unchanged (also thanks to VA Troutrooper for pointing out the meaning and tradition of them) Flight Leaders will be sent the complete list of submissions so they can see if something really strikes their fancy.
-No other fiction competitions at this moment, you're all advised to keep focused on the Squadleague. If you really feel like submitting a fiction, just write a fiction and send it to the EH Newsletter, Ccing me, and you'll get a nice little LoA as well.
-Omicron has suffered the loss of two pilots (although one seemingly temporary) this week. CM Alain Dindareanu has left for the RSVs, RL becoming too overbearing on him. LCM Aero Slasher left, too, rejoined just today.
-With Alain's leaving us, Flight 2 Leader has opened, but, I've appointed LT Ardeth Mordor to the spot, so don't bother applying.
-And with LCM Aero's leave, the XO spot was open, but again, I've appointed CM Wysseri Arestar as the new XO.
-Finally, with Alain's leave, CitO is now open for applications.

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 participating 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 MSN 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 Absolut Vodka and WC Drake.

Primary: Fly TIE-FREE 183 for Squadleague comp (deadline for tfrs at me 10th February 20:00 GMT)
Secondary: Recruit! Omicron is in need of people! (same as before, two recruits in->ISM)
Tertiary: Fly!! Let's get some flying done people, let's get a respectable place for SoM this month yet again guys!

-First, I belay my regrets of CM Alain Dindareanu's leave for the RSVs. He was a good officer, CitO, and FL, and will be missed, but RL comes first.

-Next, a big hurray to the new position promotees, CM Wysseri Arestar to XO and LT Ardeth Mordor to FL. A reminder though, all Flight Reports are due to me and the XO on Wednesday, the XO report due to me on Thursday. Wysseri can submit both her XO and Flight report together on Thursday if she likes.
-Citations Officer is now open, and I'm taking applications. If you're interested drop in a word at me and the XO.
-A word about citations, they have skyrocketed to 35, which is 3rd on the Colossus, only behind Iota (148) and Eta (52), nice going guys!
