CMDR/CPT Daniel Klivian reporting in for Omicron Squadron on the week of November 23, 2001
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wing News:
-Competition vs Wing V going on: fly TIE-TC #169 -CM Saadam takes ISDCA, LC Drake runner up -The deadlines for all the other comps are over, awaiting results -Colossus ahead at the end of ECR Phase 1!!! -VA Mell takes BGCOM, Absolut Vodka new COM awaiting FO approval
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Squadron News:
-Fiction comp started by Alain Dindareanu has been approved and started, however, the number of submissions, 0, greatly disturbs me. This comp is primarily for those who cannot fly, but I haven't see anything from anyone...and the deadline is the 25th, only two days away from now! I want those fictions submitted to me asap! -As for the BoW, only LCM Wysseri Arestar has flown it, and got awarded the IS-BW, come on people, we need more participation! -Thanks to the recruiting efforts of LCM Alain Dindareanu, we might be having some new Omicron pilots soon. -LCM Alain Dindareanu has decided that his CitO reports would be easier to make if he did them after my WSRs, and I agreed. So from now on expect the CitO report after my WSR, probably with no more then 24 hours delay.

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 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 (TBA) and WC Absolut Vodka.
Primary: Write fiction for Omicron fiction run-on competition Secondary: Fly TIE-TC #169 for comp vs Wing V Tertiary: Fly whatever battles the CitO will tell you (expect it asap after the WSR)

CMDR's Corner:
-Well, activity hasn't been that great overall this week, and I'm guessing that, if anything, it'll go downhill from here with the exams (I know it will be for me) -I've seen this now all too much, that people fly a random battle and ignore the battles that we have to fly for a competition. We are a squadron, a team, onboard the Colossus, a bigger team. A team needs to work together, and that means the members of the team, us, need to do what is needed, meaning, fly for the competitions! If the battle is a bit hard, don't shy away, but try! If you can't seem to find an answer to what your problem is, try looking the battle over (but no editing!!!) with TFW, so you see if there are certain things you should/shouldn't do. If you still don't have a clue, post a message to the Omicron and/or the Colossus Yahoo groups, where lots of helpfull pilots will be more then glad to help a fellow pilot.
