-Battlegroups competition going on, all squadrons for themselves!
-Keep checking the stats page for info on SoM standings
-Wing Squadron league going on.

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

--The Omicron Renaming is still going on, and I need MORE submissions! I'm warning you, if I don't get enough submissions, the competition is cancelled.
-Our flying comp (TIE-TC 163) has ended. The winner is LT Ardeth Mordor yet again, go him (rec for the IS-BW is out)! And for the rest of us, let's try to give him more competition next time around! However, next time is a whiles away, since I think we should focus on the BG Highlander comp and the Wing Squadleague comp.
-Good job in the first round of the Highlander comp, guys! 50% participation, nice! (could be better of course, but still nice) Let's hope we're through to the next round and beat them, too!
-First round of the Wing Squadleague has started, with us pitted against Iota. Since it's a "home game" for Iota, they get to pick the TIE-FREE to fly. As soon as I know which one it is, I'll forward it down to you guys. Prepare to fly for your lives, let's show them what we're made of!

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: Be prepared to fly a TIE-FREE as soon as Iota CMDR decides on one!
Secondary: Submit stuff for the Omicron Renaming! (deadline 4th February)
Tertiary: Recruit!! We need more pilots! (same as before; recruit two, get ISM)

-A rather fine job from us flying wise, LT Ardeth Mordor showing great flying skills and lots of it, CM Wysseri Arestar is giving him a run for his money though. LT Rogue and LCM Aero Slasher each flying a few things here and there, LCM Ace on leave, Alain on a bit of a inactive spot…and me..well, I'm just doing awful. And it's the third or fourth week in a row at that. I really do hope to improve my activity soon. Leaving myself (and Alain I'm afraid) aside, all I can say is good job, and keep it up! And remember, it's almost MSE time ;)
-We had 50% participation for the BG Highlander comp (TIE-FREE 188). Wysseri, Ardeth, and I flew (3), and Ace was on leave. So 3/(7-1=6) is 50%. Now, what about the other three? I understand you might be busy, but I really MUST insist that you at least TRY to get the FREE mission (meaning only 1 mission!) done, you usually get a whole week or so to do it, too. Now, with the Wing Squadleague competition coming up, I am asking at least 75% participation. Meaning that at least 5 (rounded up from 4.5)/6 people (still -1 because Ace is on leave) submit for the comp. Meaning only one person who doesn't fly. Now, if you know that for the next week or so you won't have access to a working TIE or have so little time that you know you're just not going to be able to fly it, then send a mail to the Omicron Yahoo Groups telling us so. If you don't, I'll assume you can fly the mission and WILL. I'm depending on you.
