[SALUTE]

Welcome to the COO Report!


SALES

There are sales on both Origin and GoG! Both have Star Wars MP games up for grabs at a low price (Battlefront is on at under £20, for example). Get them whilst the going is good!


MP SUBMISSIONS UPDATE

The initial responces to these proposals, puls those I've had from last week, suggest that everyone is ok with these guidelines. As such, the COO and COOA are now tracking any submissions that were not taken during a given week or month, if they appear to be counting towards competitions. I will update the COO Manual ASAP to reflect these changes.

To confirm, the new guidelines are:
  • Screenshots should be submitted within one week of the date the match was played, ideally within 24hrs.
  • If they cannot be for what ever reason, email the COO/COOA in advance, to discuss any implications for competitons, etc.
  • The submission of 'hoarded screens' as part of a competition is to be discouraged.
  • The submission of screens for any competition tracking activity within a given week or month that were NOT taken during that time period will be considered cheating. Small numbers of screens taken very near time boundaries may be accepted at the discretion of the person responsible for the competition, especailly if they do not alter the final outcome significantly (no medal positions, etc).
If you have any suggestions on how to improve, strengthen or alter my proposed guidelines, please get in touch.


COO COMPETITIONS - A FEW ANSWERS

Thanks to those who responded to my questions!

Here is a brief summary of the answers, almgamated as best as I can!

1) Do you change the way you play MP specifically to improve your performance in a competition?
No, it seems players don't. They play to win the mission, what ever that may require. Any competition winning score is simply a coincidence, and a bonus.

2) Do you feel competitions that are rewarding something other than total monthly participation (such as in the MP Ace of the TIE Corps) are best served by auto-entry, or should there be specific submission via email?
In general, people seem satisfied with the auto-entry nature of the competitions. They are seen as a nice bonus that recognises activity. I got a vague sense of if they had to do something else, not many would bother.

So, the status-quo seems accepted by all, and playing around with the format is unlikely to generate much new excitement. Will have to see what we can come up with post-rtf!
