CMDR/CPT Daniel Klivian reporting in for Omicron Squadron on the week of November 9th, 2001

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

Wing News:

-TCCOM's award goes to ISD Colossus!!!!
-ISDCA #2 & HGK commencing (see Squadron news)
-Two COM competitions going on (also see Squad news)
-ECR still on hold
-CPT Avantar takes off for command of Stalker Squad

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

Squadron News:

-XO's corner is under 'construction'
-Omicron Squadron Competition for TIE-TC #123 going on, fly that asap!
-COM competitions: All Omicron pilots, especially those that can't fly, are advised to participate in the COM's two competitions, the COM's own Flag Comp and the Motto & Nickname comp. More info on the news page of http://www.isdcolossus.com
-HGK & ISDCA: I am dissapointed in Omicron for the fact that not even one of us is participating in the first round of the HGK. I myself was going to participate, but a small misunderstanding prevented me from doing so. In any case, let's pick up ourselves and get going! I want everyone that can fly to participate in the current ISDCA #2 going on, missions to fly are TIE-FREE #160 & TIE-FREE #168. Both are made by our very own WC Absolut Vodka, so we can be sure of the quality.
-Only tfr I have for TIE-TC #123 is LCM Wysseri Arestar's so far, come on people, submit!
-New Omicron competition is coming up soon: fiction run-on! For this competition I hope to see everyone participate, even those that cannot fly, since this is a non-flying competition. Thanks to LCM Alain Dindereanu for submitting the starting idea for this. Details:
   Someone will start a fiction on a specific topic. Everyone is to write a short (100-800 words, note that length does not neccesarily     mean quality) continuation on the fiction, and I will select the best and add that to the fiction. The winning submitter gets an
   IS-BR. After the continuation has been selected, the next round will commence in the same fashion as the old.
   I hope to, at the end of a story, submit it to the EH Newsletter and/or the Colossus Pulse. Credits will be worked out when the
   time comes for that.

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 Mell and WC Absolut Vodka.

Primary: Fly TIE-TC #123, TIE-FREE #160, TIE-FREE #168 for competitions going on.
Secondary: Participate in COM's comps (design COM's Flag banner; make new ship Motto & Nickname)
Tertiary: Recruit! We need more pilots!
Notes:
a) 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:

-A slow, very slow week for us. Pick up the activity Omicron!
-As you can see (hopefully), the squadron report has changed format again. I did this because I found out that Outlook Express users see my divider lines as three seperate lines, and that my Squadron Reports were, as a result, rather ugly. So I've quickly imported my WSR into Frontpage Editor and spiffed it up a bit (black background, white text) If anyone has a suggestion or comment about the WSR, as always, don't hesistate to say them. I haven't worked any with colors yet, maybe in future reports.
-For the new competitions, I want to see at least 50% activity from the active pilots in Omicron.
-Don't forget that if you feel like flying to fly the battles recommended by the CitO, this way we can get more citations.
