- Aug 20 20:09:57 <Tarr|Laptop> Okay... thanks everyone for coming. We have some important things to discuss as we are making some changes to the way we do things. First of all, I would like to cover the topic of proposed changes to IRC requirements:
- Aug 20 20:09:59 <Tarr> IRC Activity when playing PS2. OP nights all members will have to be in IRC. Non-Op Nights? Open to discussion. Setting up irc is easy. And outfits like RMA require you use communication applications or you get booted. They are coordinated so pushing irc is important to our outfit
- Aug 20 20:10:43 <Tarr|Laptop> yeah I wanted to use my desktop for this but it's not connecting so I'm having to to the laptop/phone combo lol
- Aug 20 20:11:38 <Tarr|Laptop> anyone have anything to say about this?
- Aug 20 20:11:40 <Slip6836> kewl so IRC for ops night for all mebers = Requirement
- Aug 20 20:11:46 * dakirch has quit (Client exited)
- Aug 20 20:11:49 <Tarr|Laptop> yes, that's the idea
- Aug 20 20:12:01 <carnage4u> Sounds good to me
- Aug 20 20:12:08 * dakirch (~AndChat10@6A46D395:D5CA50DD:E9EEA45B:IP) has joined
- Aug 20 20:12:11 <SmiteDown> I only got a phone for irc
- Aug 20 20:12:11 <GodzClone> Is there a seperate ops channel?
- Aug 20 20:12:12 <Valiant418> how are we planning to use it. Not sure about others but my phone scren times out pretty quickly so I check it when I can but not constantly
- Aug 20 20:12:12 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> Or das boot
- Aug 20 20:12:17 <RoyalEngineer> Fair enough
- Aug 20 20:12:32 <Tarr|Laptop> yes we have an ops channel but its for officers only
- Aug 20 20:12:32 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> You should be able to change the timeout m8
- Aug 20 20:12:34 <GeneralGrinder> sounds good
- Aug 20 20:12:48 * the-swarm|9 has quit (Ping timeout)
- Aug 20 20:12:48 <Valiant418> That would kill the battery in nothing flat orphan
- Aug 20 20:12:53 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> My phone doesn't time out when I'm in this
- Aug 20 20:12:58 <Traf1805> I have a problem as i only have my phone and iPad so it logs me out everytime my device goes to sleep. Any ideas on solutions? Or is it not a problem as long as i keep logging in
- Aug 20 20:12:58 <ICULOOK> Yea the problem is only being able to have it on a phone and when you don't keep touching the phone it goes to sleep and disconnects....
- Aug 20 20:13:33 <Tarr|Laptop> you can set it up not to turn off the screen when it's plugged in on a charger
- Aug 20 20:13:41 <Mejji> I'm sure we all have access to q
- Aug 20 20:13:42 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> I don't have that issue..and if you're at home playing planetside then you should be able to plug it in
- Aug 20 20:13:51 <Tarr|Laptop> that's what I do... also some IRC apps have a setting for that too
- Aug 20 20:13:57 <Mejji> A charger and an outlet*
- Aug 20 20:13:59 <Fuzzy> yeah... i always have my devices near me and plugged in... otherwise laptop or whatever goes to sleep
- Aug 20 20:14:05 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> So, it's non negotiable
- Aug 20 20:14:11 <GeneralGrinder> You guys ever think about also using Zello walkie talkie app
- Aug 20 20:14:20 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> Ew no
- Aug 20 20:14:25 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> I despise zello
- Aug 20 20:14:30 <zerosin> I just get random dcs from irc even when my phone doesn't screen out but I'll keep a eye out for that.
- Aug 20 20:14:38 <SmiteDown> What about kik groups?
- Aug 20 20:14:43 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> Maybe
- Aug 20 20:14:52 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> Can those be made private
- Aug 20 20:15:07 <GodzClone> What is the point of a non squad leader to be in irc chat while already in a squad using voice chat?
- Aug 20 20:15:11 <Tarr|Laptop> that's the plan, yes... if you wanna be in a squad, you MUST be in IRC. We will no longer be accepting requests for squad invites over outfit during ops
- Aug 20 20:15:26 <dakirch> Irc fits out bot and api
- Aug 20 20:15:31 <welly> have you ever thought about using discord suppose to be pretty good
- Aug 20 20:15:31 <dakirch> Kik and other apps never will
- Aug 20 20:15:37 <DoubleVibes> thats fine
- Aug 20 20:15:43 <Valiant418> what other uses will IRC have for non SLs? Not being difficult just wondering.
- Aug 20 20:15:47 * mightyPrismo (~qwebirc@Swift-EB900EC.hsd1.wa.comcast.net) has joined
- Aug 20 20:15:48 <DoubleVibes> but i dont want to be trying to read some shit while im flying
- Aug 20 20:15:49 <CelticFury2> Clarification question - I understand the expectation that OPs nights = in IRC. Does this requirement expand to online during ops nights is expected to be mandatory?
- Aug 20 20:15:49 <dakirch> Swarmbot is a very amazing feature unique to us
- Aug 20 20:15:59 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> In case the SL is busy doing his job
- Aug 20 20:16:15 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> Members of the squad can suggest invites to SL
- Aug 20 20:16:22 <Tarr|Laptop> no the IRC requirement is just for ops nights
- Aug 20 20:16:25 <BigBWolfe> The leader shouldn't be the one looking at the irc
- Aug 20 20:16:31 <Ralibar> <3 the bot
- Aug 20 20:16:35 <Fuzzy> In fact.. my suggestion is that every SL designate a squad inviter
- Aug 20 20:16:37 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> Making sure that they can be focused on leading
- Aug 20 20:16:46 <BigBWolfe> Leaders are busy setting up way points and stuff
- Aug 20 20:16:49 <DoubleVibes> squad inviter? 1,2,3 not me
- Aug 20 20:16:54 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> Lol
- Aug 20 20:17:05 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> Squad inviter will be #2 in squad
- Aug 20 20:17:05 <dakirch> I usually do it when im ingame
- Aug 20 20:17:10 <Apok> I agree, squad lead is too demanding to be in irc
- Aug 20 20:17:11 <dakirch> "So and so needs invite"
- Aug 20 20:17:19 <WCR-jv27> leader... or designated person by leader...simple
- Aug 20 20:17:21 * skullthrone (Chris-Admi@DA46F159.E65041D7.E1EBCDDE.IP) has joined
- Aug 20 20:17:25 <Valiant418> no offense orphan but I was asking tarr not you. I do understand squaddies can help with comms but just trying to get the intent from tarr. Even your point would still only apply to one designated comm officer probably in squad
- Aug 20 20:17:33 <Tarr|Laptop> yea, that's another good point... squad leaders should be designating a member of their squad as their "comms officer" in charge of keeping an eye on IRC for invites and managing the squad via swarmbot
- Aug 20 20:17:37 * iTheKGBjr has quit (Quit: My Mac has gone to sleep. ZZZzzz…)
- Aug 20 20:17:42 <Traf1805> I don't mind doing the invites in a squad

- Aug 20 20:17:50 * iTheKGBjr (~textual@Swift-A6342CCF.hsd1.fl.comcast.net) has joined
- Aug 20 20:18:23 <Tarr|Laptop> swarmbot is a really useful tool and we need to take advantage of it
- Aug 20 20:18:25 <Traf1805> Not sure how to use swarmbot though
- Aug 20 20:18:32 <Tarr|Laptop> type :help
- Aug 20 20:18:32 <Ralibar> :help
- Aug 20 20:18:40 <Tarr|Laptop> in the ps2 channel
- Aug 20 20:18:45 <Fuzzy> i would say that one reason for non SL members to be in IRC is that we all know that it can get really busy in the game... so.. even though= you might not be SL or SI... you can still notice that someone is looking for a squad if you just died
- Aug 20 20:18:57 <dakirch> And we'll put up a cheat sheet into our call to arms writeup
- Aug 20 20:19:09 <Traf1805> Ok cool
- Aug 20 20:19:19 <Ralibar> Most of the squads I'm in don't have trouble inviting people using IRC
- Aug 20 20:19:30 <Fuzzy> and ... we have yet more functions in development that can be / will tied into Swarmie
- Aug 20 20:19:30 <Ralibar> Even non op nights
- Aug 20 20:19:40 <Valiant418> So just to clarify other than squad requests what other goals are we hoping to meet with IRC?
- Aug 20 20:19:47 <SmiteDown> I would take up as a squad inviter
- Aug 20 20:19:48 <GodzClone> Could we set up an ops invite channel...so the requests dont get washed out by non ops comms?
- Aug 20 20:19:58 <Fuzzy> personall. (my opinion) i thinik IRC should be close to mandatory on Ops AND primetime EDT hours
- Aug 20 20:20:01 <Tarr|Laptop> okay so moving on... the next topic that we want to discuss is the restructuring of the chain of command... dakirch, do you have a link to the post you made regarding that?
- Aug 20 20:20:09 <skullthrone> we treid that godzclone and no one used it
- Aug 20 20:20:14 <dakirch> Its only in staff forum
- Aug 20 20:20:15 <GodzClone> K
- Aug 20 20:20:34 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> We didn't finish that rework did we?
- Aug 20 20:20:41 <Ralibar> Bot has :lfs feature to cover that
- Aug 20 20:20:45 <dakirch> Nope still ideas ;)
- Aug 20 20:20:56 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> Okay so that's still tbd
- Aug 20 20:21:03 * mightyPrismo has quit (Ping timeout)
- Aug 20 20:21:07 <Tarr|Laptop> perhaps we should move it to general chat now?
- Aug 20 20:21:23 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> Ehh...
- Aug 20 20:22:06 <dakirch> https://www.the-swarm.net/showthread.php?3247-Call-to-Arms
- Aug 20 20:22:17 <dakirch> Chain of command idea is in there
- Aug 20 20:22:26 <chloroplasm> i love swarmbot.....swarmbot FRIEND!!!
- Aug 20 20:22:51 <Tarr|Laptop> okay good... everyone please make sure you read this
- Aug 20 20:23:07 <Tarr|Laptop> it's important for everyone to know who is in charge
- Aug 20 20:23:18 <Tarr|Laptop> and how to follow the chain of command
- Aug 20 20:23:42 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> We're pretty tired of it getting ignored
- Aug 20 20:24:17 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> These people are in charge for a reason.
- Aug 20 20:24:34 <Tarr|Laptop> only officers are allowed to use outfit comms during ops and we are going to start enforcing that rule from now on
- Aug 20 20:24:52 <Apok> Jave platoon commanders been decided yet?
- Aug 20 20:24:58 <dakirch> No
- Aug 20 20:24:58 <Apok> Have*
- Aug 20 20:25:11 <dakirch> But its been briefly talked about
- Aug 20 20:25:12 <dakirch> :)
- Aug 20 20:25:18 <Tarr|Laptop> so if you are not an officer, and you have some intel or something, tell your squad leader and if they deem it important, they will relay it over outfit comms
- Aug 20 20:25:23 <Valiant418> Is the full list of platoon commanders and squad leaders current on https://www.the-swarm.net/showthread.php?2312-Spec-Ops-Officers? Just checking since it isn't called out specifically in the call to arms post
- Aug 20 20:25:31 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> Regular swarmies are not allowed in outfit chat. Period correct
- Aug 20 20:25:40 <Tarr|Laptop> I know that armor platoon commander will be Maverick
- Aug 20 20:25:51 <Tarr|Laptop> Infantry will probably be Apok
- Aug 20 20:26:00 <Tarr|Laptop> And air... probably Slip
- Aug 20 20:26:06 <Valiant418> sounds good
- Aug 20 20:26:07 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> Yes
- Aug 20 20:26:10 <Tarr|Laptop> that's if they are up for the job
- Aug 20 20:26:12 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> Definitely Slip
- Aug 20 20:26:16 <Apok> Roger that

- Aug 20 20:26:21 <dakirch> Maverick cant
- Aug 20 20:26:28 <dakirch> He mentioned he has an internship
- Aug 20 20:26:33 <Slip6836> kewl
- Aug 20 20:26:39 <dakirch> So its opened
- Aug 20 20:26:43 <Tarr|Laptop> ah damn okay so we need another armor platoon commander then
- Aug 20 20:27:05 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> Does platoon leader decide on who they want as SL's?
- Aug 20 20:27:06 <WCR-jv27> insidiooouuussssssss....
- Aug 20 20:27:11 <Apok> Shit, we need more armor leadereship, air too
- Aug 20 20:27:22 <Traf1805> Look forward to taking orders from Apok = solid leader
- Aug 20 20:27:31 <Tarr|Laptop> yes, platoon leaders are in charge of SLs
- Aug 20 20:27:43 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> Lel Apok.
- Aug 20 20:27:52 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> You better not dun goof
- Aug 20 20:27:56 <marauder3299> i take it apok is platoon infantry leader?
- Aug 20 20:27:57 -Valiant418- DCC Chat (68.187.66.99)
- Aug 20 20:27:58 * Received a DCC CHAT offer from Valiant418
- Aug 20 20:28:10 * DCC CHAT connection established to Valiant418 [68.187.66.99:1024]
- Aug 20 20:28:27 <Tarr|Laptop> myself and ropkins will be "Outfit Commanders" and we are in charge of PLs
- Aug 20 20:28:35 <Apok> Thanks guys, i hadnt said yes though, newds more discussion with the HC
- Aug 20 20:28:46 <Apok> needs*
- Aug 20 20:28:49 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> I thought rop was stepping down
- Aug 20 20:29:13 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> If you don't wanna Apok I'll do it ;)
- Aug 20 20:29:35 <Tarr|Laptop> I heard as much too but he's still listed for now so until it's official, consider him an Outfit Commander
- Aug 20 20:29:47 <Apok> Good to know, but again undecided as of yet
- Aug 20 20:30:16 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> 10-4
- Aug 20 20:30:55 <Tarr|Laptop> okay so next topic is that we are adding Wednesday night as an ops night
- Aug 20 20:31:19 <Tarr|Laptop> so we now have 3 official ops nights per week
- Aug 20 20:31:30 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> MWF
- Aug 20 20:31:30 <Apok> Excellent
- Aug 20 20:31:32 <Tarr|Laptop> Sundays are for spec ops trainings
- Aug 20 20:31:44 <Traf1805> I have a quick question about Ops nights, is there a specific time that they end?
- Aug 20 20:31:45 <DoubleVibes> what days do the other factions have ops night
- Aug 20 20:31:57 <DoubleVibes> would be great to do ours on the same day
- Aug 20 20:32:06 <Tarr|Laptop> there may also be make-up sessions inbetween depending on instructor availability
- Aug 20 20:32:10 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> They end when DaKirch has his last beer
- Aug 20 20:32:21 <Tarr|Laptop> ops do not have a specific end time
- Aug 20 20:32:38 <Tarr|Laptop> they last until there is no more leadership or when it gets called
- Aug 20 20:32:48 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> My answer was best
- Aug 20 20:32:59 <dakirch> Shhh keep it serious please
- Aug 20 20:33:29 <Tarr|Laptop> not sure when other factions do ops but we scheduled it according to our own availability
- Aug 20 20:33:32 <Tarr|Laptop> there was a poll
- Aug 20 20:33:41 <DoubleVibes> ok
- Aug 20 20:33:43 <Tarr|Laptop> and Wednesday won
- Aug 20 20:33:59 * Marauder329_laptop (~qwebirc@Swift-3C2B7035.tx.res.rr.com) has joined
- Aug 20 20:34:07 <Apok> Question, although we have certains weeks designated for certain training. May we run them on any week for make up sessions? Infantry is slacking and id like to get everyone through
- Aug 20 20:34:08 * marauder3299 has quit (Quit: TurboIRC for Android. Available @ Google Play.)
- Aug 20 20:34:23 <dakirch> Yes
- Aug 20 20:34:35 <GodzClone> Second what apok said
- Aug 20 20:34:38 <Apok> Awesome thanks
- Aug 20 20:34:39 * BlackOpal (~androirc@Swift-17B81203.cinci.res.rr.com) has joined
- Aug 20 20:34:44 <dakirch> Just make forum post and make sure it gets added to event calendar
- Aug 20 20:35:07 <Tarr|Laptop> I guess we can but I would prefer if we had a week dedicated to one specific training
- Aug 20 20:35:18 <Marauder329_laptop> will there be a make up spec ops boot camp?
- Aug 20 20:35:19 <Apok> Roger, ill inquire later as to how to add to calendar
- Aug 20 20:35:57 <Tarr|Laptop> if there is enough interest in a make-up session though, and you are available to host one, I wouldn't discourage it
- Aug 20 20:36:17 <Apok> Okay tarr
- Aug 20 20:36:30 <Tarr|Laptop> basically, if you're in charge of infantry division, it will be up to you how you wanna run it
- Aug 20 20:36:50 <Marauder329_laptop> spam apok with stuff got it

- Aug 20 20:37:22 <Tarr|Laptop> if necessary
- Aug 20 20:37:40 <Apok> Haha, sorry marauder sometimes i get too many pm's, and roger that tarr, will do
- Aug 20 20:37:54 <Tarr|Laptop> okay so moving on... we need to talk about RESPECT and this is a big one

- Aug 20 20:39:45 <danofthedeep> ^^
- Aug 20 20:39:47 <Marauder329_laptop> is that for ops nights or in general?
- Aug 20 20:39:54 <Tarr|Laptop> we are instituting a zero tolerance policy for anyone who is being disrespectful in game
- Aug 20 20:39:54 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> What's the..tolerance or penalties regarding this
- Aug 20 20:40:01 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> Oh. Nvm lol
- Aug 20 20:40:06 <skullthrone> and there is a differece between complaining and sugusting something
- Aug 20 20:40:12 <AnarchySpecter> ^
- Aug 20 20:40:20 <RighteousNuts> Agreed
- Aug 20 20:40:31 <Tarr|Laptop> if you are causing problems, you will be INSTANTLY kicked from the outfit
- Aug 20 20:40:35 <Traf1805> I like this
- Aug 20 20:40:40 <danofthedeep> Generally. It ties up comms with nonessential chatter.
- Aug 20 20:40:51 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> And imo I'd say at all times. You start whining about your SL in outfit or whatnot. Bye bye?
- Aug 20 20:40:54 <danofthedeep> Hence why we have such a well designed website,and
- Aug 20 20:40:54 <skullthrone> i dont think there is an issue with asking why we are doing something some way or letting your SL know of something that may have been missed but if your being a dick about it thats a no og
- Aug 20 20:40:59 <Tarr|Laptop> you will have a chance to apologize and you may get back in if you promise not to do it again
- Aug 20 20:41:01 <danofthedeep> IRC
- Aug 20 20:41:20 <Tarr|Laptop> but... repeated offenders will not be allowed back in and will be banned from the community entirely
- Aug 20 20:41:30 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> Squad leaders have enough to deal with imo. Don't need backseat drivers
- Aug 20 20:41:56 <dakirch> I never rage quit this game until the other night. I was around since day 1 of phase 1 beta when population was 200 every night and nc would be warpgated. When someone said no to tarrs command...
- Aug 20 20:41:57 <Tarr|Laptop> yes, and this one applies at all times
- Aug 20 20:42:02 <dakirch> I turned the game off
- Aug 20 20:42:39 <skullthrone> you just gave me flashbacks kirch
- Aug 20 20:42:52 <Traf1805> It not only makes it harder on SLs, it also ruins ecerybody's experience to having some know-it-all player questioning everything with attitude
- Aug 20 20:42:57 <Tarr|Laptop> if you don't understand your orders, ask your SL
- Aug 20 20:42:59 <DoubleVibes> yeah people, including myself, get frustrated when shit is hitting the fan
- Aug 20 20:43:15 <Tarr|Laptop> do not under any circumstances start bitching about it over outfit chat
- Aug 20 20:43:51 <Tarr|Laptop> or squad chat for that matter
- Aug 20 20:44:02 <carnage4u> And since this game can kick someone into outfit chat at any time from squad, probably best not to bitch there, because the worst thing you say, will be the time the game switches your chat over
- Aug 20 20:44:08 <Tarr|Laptop> if u wanna complain, take it to the forums
- Aug 20 20:44:12 <danofthedeep> Squad, if its something you need clarification on, but take bitching to the forums or a private msg on IRC
- Aug 20 20:44:48 <Tarr|Laptop> we're all supposed to be adults here so we need to start acting like it
- Aug 20 20:45:01 <Traf1805> Twould you guys look into a probationary period for this?
- Aug 20 20:45:10 <Marauder329_laptop> Thats actually something
- Aug 20 20:45:11 <Tarr|Laptop> if certain people can't control their temper, there is no room for them here
- Aug 20 20:45:14 <Marauder329_laptop> I was thinking of
- Aug 20 20:45:29 <danofthedeep> Msg swarmbot if you REALLY wanna bitch (-> /dev/null)
- Aug 20 20:45:30 <Tarr|Laptop> yeah that's a good idea Traf
- Aug 20 20:45:31 <Marauder329_laptop> Say 2 weeks probation
- Aug 20 20:45:53 <Apok> Yeah, i disagree with even a warning orders are orders and they keep things in order
- Aug 20 20:46:13 <SmiteDown> I like the insta kick rule
- Aug 20 20:46:18 <Apok> No excuse imo, just me tho
- Aug 20 20:46:32 <Tarr|Laptop> we'll discuss implementing a probation period with the HC and officers later
- Aug 20 20:46:34 <RighteousNuts> Insta kick has more umph

- Aug 20 20:46:51 * AnarchySpecter_ (~AnarchySp@Swift-DE37DAF5.clsp.qwest.net) has joined
- Aug 20 20:46:53 <Tarr|Laptop> yeah, it will let everyone know that WE MEAN BUSINESS
- Aug 20 20:47:00 <Marauder329_laptop> a month seems too long a week seems too short 2 weeks seems about right if nothing else it will allow heat of the moment hot heads (read as me and some others) who have the good of the swarm in mind and are just angry for it
- Aug 20 20:47:00 <Apok> Had plenty of shitty orders, followed em all. No
- Aug 20 20:47:04 <welly> I'd go with insta kick aswell
- Aug 20 20:47:04 <GodzClone> Zero tolerance
- Aug 20 20:47:05 <iTheKGBjr> this apply to teak killing not swarm
- Aug 20 20:47:08 <Apok> Excuses
- Aug 20 20:47:10 <iTheKGBjr> non swarm
- Aug 20 20:47:15 <skullthrone> probably came for me :)
- Aug 20 20:47:29 <danofthedeep> SWRM > Military :)
- Aug 20 20:47:43 <CrimsonSteele> Military kicks you out slowly
- Aug 20 20:48:03 * AnarchySpecter has quit (Ping timeout)
- Aug 20 20:48:07 * AnarchySpecter_ is now known as AnarchySpecter
- Aug 20 20:48:08 <skullthrone> just saying even one of the strictest most structured orginization gives second chances in certian situations
- Aug 20 20:48:12 <Marauder329_laptop> hmmmmm I have followed crappy orders too...wont name names but c4ing a tank with a heavy assault in open terrain is interesting
- Aug 20 20:48:13 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> TK is insta ban imo
- Aug 20 20:48:18 <Traf1805> Military has $$$ invested in you
- Aug 20 20:48:24 <skullthrone> i know but still
- Aug 20 20:48:28 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> Guys off topic
- Aug 20 20:48:34 <skullthrone> TK purposly
- Aug 20 20:48:37 <skullthrone> *TKing
- Aug 20 20:48:44 <Traf1805> ^^
- Aug 20 20:48:53 <Tarr|Laptop> we will be have a discussion thread after each op to talk about the orders n tactics n such
- Aug 20 20:49:03 <skullthrone> ive killed lots of guys due to color difficencies them trying to get me/jumping round corners andstuff
- Aug 20 20:49:03 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> Well yea. Creaming someone with a vanguard cause you're trying to escape is one thing
- Aug 20 20:49:10 <Tarr|Laptop> that way we can learn from them and improve
- Aug 20 20:49:25 <CrimsonSteele> Agree with tarr
- Aug 20 20:49:35 <Fuzzy> blowing them up because they are "in your way"... no
- Aug 20 20:49:56 <DoubleVibes> there will be witch hunts if we insta kick for TKing
- Aug 20 20:50:01 <Tarr|Laptop> so next topic... SUNDERERS!
- Aug 20 20:50:11 <DoubleVibes> i think repeated offenses with proof that it was intentional would be great
- Aug 20 20:50:13 <Marauder329_laptop> So it should be proof of indiscrimate team killers
- Aug 20 20:50:21 <Tarr|Laptop> we should be pulling MORE of them
- Aug 20 20:50:30 <danofthedeep> ^^
- Aug 20 20:50:31 <Tarr|Laptop> especially infantry squad
- Aug 20 20:50:35 <skullthrone> go void on there asses
- Aug 20 20:50:38 <Tarr|Laptop> squads*
- Aug 20 20:50:43 <Slip6836> I agree
- Aug 20 20:50:47 <CrimsonSteele> Agree
- Aug 20 20:50:50 <Tarr|Laptop> the more sunderers, the better
- Aug 20 20:50:54 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> And more variety of the sundies
- Aug 20 20:50:58 <Marauder329_laptop> 12 sunderers?
- Aug 20 20:50:59 <Tarr|Laptop> that too
- Aug 20 20:51:01 <danofthedeep> And proper sunderer placement
- Aug 20 20:51:05 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> Ammo and repair sundies are useful guys
- Aug 20 20:51:06 <DoubleVibes> AA sundies please
- Aug 20 20:51:08 <SmiteDown> When I am in infa squad we pull 2 sundies
- Aug 20 20:51:17 <Tarr|Laptop> support sundies = armor squad
- Aug 20 20:51:18 <Marauder329_laptop> smite pull 3
- Aug 20 20:51:20 <iTheKGBjr> all i run
- Aug 20 20:51:21 <Marauder329_laptop> or 4
- Aug 20 20:51:23 <welly> I had a thought about sundys
- Aug 20 20:51:24 <skullthrone> i dont really like AA sundies cause they show the world where they are
- Aug 20 20:51:28 <Apok> Suggestion, its incredibly difficult for INF to hold sundies, what if armor defended one or two for us?
- Aug 20 20:51:30 <danofthedeep> Not just willy nilly bullshit have to walk 250m
- Aug 20 20:51:30 <Mejji> Fully agreed. We need more Sunderers
- Aug 20 20:51:45 <Tarr|Laptop> yes, we have skyguards for AA
- Aug 20 20:51:50 <welly> how about a combined anti air and sundy squad
- Aug 20 20:51:50 <Slip6836> We should have a SUNDDER BALL night to check everyones pimp'd out sunddie and give a prize
- Aug 20 20:51:51 <Marauder329_laptop> I have seen RMA pull a rep sundie and ammo sundie then lagger up
- Aug 20 20:51:51 <Tarr|Laptop> and infantry can help too
- Aug 20 20:51:54 <Tarr|Laptop> if needed
- Aug 20 20:51:56 <Marauder329_laptop> and rep and make a killing
- Aug 20 20:52:02 * Fuzzy has quit (Ping timeout)
- Aug 20 20:52:06 <Slip6836> Battle Cash... I'll give a donation for it
- Aug 20 20:52:11 <danofthedeep> Marauder that works great
- Aug 20 20:52:13 <DoubleVibes> do we have any guys that enjoy skyguards?
- Aug 20 20:52:14 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> And in armor, for the love of god don't block the vanguard
- Aug 20 20:52:15 <DoubleVibes> doesnt seem likt it
- Aug 20 20:52:18 <DoubleVibes> like*
- Aug 20 20:52:27 <Marauder329_laptop> I love skyguards
- Aug 20 20:52:31 <danofthedeep> I pull skyhuards alot
- Aug 20 20:52:36 <Traf1805> I like Skyguard
- Aug 20 20:52:38 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> Dude I go to town with my skyguard
- Aug 20 20:52:42 <danofthedeep> And have certed mine quite a bit
- Aug 20 20:52:46 <DoubleVibes> alright
- Aug 20 20:52:48 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> I see air, I'm shooting at it m8
- Aug 20 20:52:48 <skullthrone> too bad pilots are wimps and run off the second you hit them
- Aug 20 20:52:48 <DoubleVibes> was just curious
- Aug 20 20:52:49 <chloroplasm> im color blind so until they adept that i will get the occasional team kill on blueberrys
- Aug 20 20:52:52 <Tarr|Laptop> yes, we actually have quite a few people who like to play skyguards
- Aug 20 20:52:54 <CrimsonSteele> I pull skygaurds when needed
- Aug 20 20:52:55 <welly> think of it as a mobility devision with its only job to keep the outfit moving forward
- Aug 20 20:52:55 <DoubleVibes> lool
- Aug 20 20:52:56 <Marauder329_laptop> they make me happy spreading joy good cheer and 40 mm explosions to all the good little TR boys and girls
- Aug 20 20:53:20 <Tarr|Laptop> we also need to talk about TEAMWORK
- Aug 20 20:53:33 <welly> by creating no fly zones for armour and spawn points for infantry
- Aug 20 20:53:35 <Tarr|Laptop> and this is another thing that applies regardless if its an ops night or not
- Aug 20 20:53:36 <Marauder329_laptop> oh but scythes ruin my day usually in a skyguard
- Aug 20 20:53:37 <Jidiwise> Teamwork makes the dream work
- Aug 20 20:53:37 <Traf1805> ^^^!!!!
- Aug 20 20:53:55 <danofthedeep> No i in team
- Aug 20 20:53:55 <skullthrone> whats that?
- Aug 20 20:53:55 <danofthedeep> Unless you spell like skullthrone
- Aug 20 20:54:01 <skullthrone> hey ho
- Aug 20 20:54:02 <danofthedeep> Exactly.
- Aug 20 20:54:06 <Tarr|Laptop> We don't need the lone wolf types in our outfit
- Aug 20 20:54:10 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> M8 have you seen what 12 skyguard do? Holy shit man
- Aug 20 20:54:19 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> I say we have and skyguard squad
- Aug 20 20:54:24 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> A
- Aug 20 20:54:30 <CelticFury2> Lets try and dial back on the unnecessary chatter folks, keep this on topic.
- Aug 20 20:54:31 <Slip6836> no lone wolfs
- Aug 20 20:54:36 <DoubleVibes> i saw some vids of skyguards actually rolling with the air squad
- Aug 20 20:54:41 <Traf1805> I think we're on 2 topics here
- Aug 20 20:54:44 <Tarr|Laptop> if you are not with your squad you will be removed from it
- Aug 20 20:54:59 <danofthedeep> ^^
- Aug 20 20:55:03 <Tarr|Laptop> to make room for someone who is willing to work together
- Aug 20 20:55:10 <Marauder329_laptop> I assume discretion is up to SLs?
- Aug 20 20:55:15 <Tarr|Laptop> yes
- Aug 20 20:55:18 <CrimsonSteele> Agree.
- Aug 20 20:55:23 <welly> I like it
- Aug 20 20:55:29 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> We understand the spawn system is shitty lol
- Aug 20 20:55:34 <danofthedeep> I hate seeing a cluster of people and #7 is over in BFE whacking off
- Aug 20 20:55:40 <Tarr|Laptop> if it is a constant problem, you might be removed from the outfit entirely
- Aug 20 20:55:47 <dakirch> Or one sl is on another continent
- Aug 20 20:55:53 <dakirch> Because they hate hossin
- Aug 20 20:55:54 <Marauder329_laptop> hey...that was me whacking off that TR girl was hot
- Aug 20 20:55:57 <dakirch> Never. Fucking. Again.
- Aug 20 20:56:02 <danofthedeep> Shit that was a gimme in PS1 for most outfits.
- Aug 20 20:56:15 * ephron has quit (Ping timeout)
- Aug 20 20:56:19 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> You get your whiny ass on hossin lol
- Aug 20 20:56:24 <Tarr|Laptop> so just make sure that you are working with your squadmates at all times and not off doing your own thing and there won't be any problems
- Aug 20 20:56:34 <Marauder329_laptop> Hossin is an infantry happy place
- Aug 20 20:56:43 <Slip6836> got it
- Aug 20 20:56:51 <Marauder329_laptop> understood
- Aug 20 20:56:59 <GeneralGrinder> Roger that
- Aug 20 20:57:08 * ephron (~ephron@Swift-C5F20510.mycingular.net) has joined
- Aug 20 20:57:09 <OldDude_> SL need to be more clear where to go when leaving a base
- Aug 20 20:57:20 <WCR-jv27> hossin. best tank and lib map. love hossin
- Aug 20 20:57:37 <Marauder329_laptop> I recommend SLs at about 30 seconds from fall of base
- Aug 20 20:57:43 <Marauder329_laptop> change waypoint
- Aug 20 20:57:51 <Marauder329_laptop> and explain why
- Aug 20 20:58:09 <Marauder329_laptop> it could be just because you like the hologram base but say why
- Aug 20 20:58:11 <OldDude_> Explain why nice
- Aug 20 20:58:15 <CrimsonSteele> Would like that to. So we keep the flow going
- Aug 20 20:58:18 <Tarr|Laptop> also make sure you guys read the voice chat rules... we will be enforcing them strictly from now on:
- Aug 20 20:58:20 <Marauder329_laptop> it cuts down on chatter and gives a reason
- Aug 20 20:58:20 <Tarr> https://www.the-swarm.net/showthread.php?2306-Voice-Chat-Rules
- Aug 20 20:58:37 <Apok> We also need to work on coordinating our squads better, armor and infantry need better comms. Aomething to train on
- Aug 20 20:58:43 <CrimsonSteele> Will do the homework
- Aug 20 20:58:49 <Apok> Something*
- Aug 20 20:59:00 <Marauder329_laptop> infantry and armor rarely are in the same place
- Aug 20 20:59:03 <Marauder329_laptop> no idea why
- Aug 20 20:59:38 <Apok> I cant imagine thats true, just occupied with different objectives
- Aug 20 20:59:40 <Tarr|Laptop> yes, that is something that we will definately work on
- Aug 20 20:59:42 <Marauder329_laptop> All I can think of is that command needs to be in a squad together planning and talking

- Aug 20 21:00:00 <Marauder329_laptop> then relaying via outfit/platoons
- Aug 20 21:00:40 <Apok> I mostly mean protecting each other better en route and ensuring each others survival a bit better
- Aug 20 21:00:48 <CrimsonSteele> Thats why i would like the idea of a overall CO of the squads.
- Aug 20 21:00:54 <Apok> You know what we need
- Aug 20 21:01:01 <Slip6836> YES Apock bounding overwatch!
- Aug 20 21:01:04 <Marauder329_laptop> bjs?
- Aug 20 21:01:05 <WCR-jv27> vanguards cant fly... difficult to obtain and transprt
- Aug 20 21:01:09 <Apok> What crimson just said
- Aug 20 21:01:22 * RighteousNuts has quit (Ping timeout)
- Aug 20 21:01:40 <Marauder329_laptop> true wcr so would we need to commit to a front?
- Aug 20 21:01:42 <Apok> We need an overall leader who guides all squads. Not a fighter, a tactician
- Aug 20 21:02:15 <Marauder329_laptop> The problem apok is they dont have a map that the person can look at in real time
- Aug 20 21:02:34 <Marauder329_laptop> unless they are watching the irc and good at chess its hard to guage
- Aug 20 21:02:37 <Slip6836> apok yes, perferably some1 who can fly... I'm happy to rotate that role amognst SLs
- Aug 20 21:02:42 <Tarr|Laptop> speaking of maps... check out ps2maps.com
- Aug 20 21:02:43 <GeneralGrinder> It be nice if they had a map that you can bring up on the PC like Battlefield 4
- Aug 20 21:02:54 <welly> crimson and apok are right w
- Aug 20 21:02:59 <Slip6836> yup they have that
- Aug 20 21:03:08 <Marauder329_laptop> plus a bogged down infantry squad might need to fall back to excort up armor or pull skyguards
- Aug 20 21:03:16 <Tarr|Laptop> it's very useful and I'm hoping that they implement grids for mobile devices soon
- Aug 20 21:03:16 * blueberrys (~qwebirc@Swift-9201E133.tmodns.net) has joined
- Aug 20 21:03:21 <Marauder329_laptop> its too fluid until platoons come out
- Aug 20 21:03:22 <WCR-jv27> not really. they did it on purpose...only vehicle that cant be had everywhere and sometimes never... just part of the game because they are so dangerous
- Aug 20 21:03:23 <Apok> They dont necessary need to see as much if they have a recon team
- Aug 20 21:03:35 <blueberrys> here...late but here
- Aug 20 21:03:38 <Apok> Necessarily *
- Aug 20 21:03:43 <welly> someone who's thinking more strategy than tactics
- Aug 20 21:03:58 <Tarr|Laptop> platoons are *supposed* to be coming this month
- Aug 20 21:04:08 <Tarr|Laptop> we'll see though
- Aug 20 21:04:10 <Marauder329_laptop> tactics are squad level strats are tarrs land
- Aug 20 21:04:25 <Tarr|Laptop> until then, we gotta deal with what we got
- Aug 20 21:04:27 <Marauder329_laptop> I see person I order my squad to shoot and then zombie check
- Aug 20 21:04:42 <Tarr|Laptop> platoons will definately help us to get more organized though
- Aug 20 21:04:46 <Tarr|Laptop> so I can't wait
- Aug 20 21:04:51 <danofthedeep> Yup
- Aug 20 21:04:54 <Marauder329_laptop> wahts the word on the other outfits?
- Aug 20 21:04:58 <CrimsonSteele> Well tarr could always qaul someone as a CDO(command duty officer) for times when no big wigs are on
- Aug 20 21:05:08 <Marauder329_laptop> will we ever have KEQ or FURY helping us assult
- Aug 20 21:05:17 <Marauder329_laptop> or defend vs Void/abyss
- Aug 20 21:05:23 <danofthedeep> We have a command channel that we use and are in contact with KEQ and Fury
- Aug 20 21:05:52 <danofthedeep> Other outfits show up sometimes but those are our most valuable allies
- Aug 20 21:05:58 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> Who's allowed in that channel
- Aug 20 21:06:18 <danofthedeep> Currently upper management
- Aug 20 21:06:20 <Tarr|Laptop> just follow the chain of command. If an outfit commander is not available, PL takes over. If none of them are on, a SL takes over
- Aug 20 21:06:32 <Tarr|Laptop> it'll be on a voluntary basis
- Aug 20 21:06:40 <Marauder329_laptop> please let a PL be on...I am a terrible strategist
- Aug 20 21:06:51 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> So SL doesn't have access
- Aug 20 21:06:56 <danofthedeep> But we may allow regular SLs / designated comms officers
- Aug 20 21:07:08 <Marauder329_laptop> If I become a leader....get ready to assult whore island
- Aug 20 21:07:12 <Tarr|Laptop> as for coordinating with other outfits...
- Aug 20 21:07:24 <Marauder329_laptop> meant to ask tarr...
- Aug 20 21:07:28 <Tarr|Laptop> I am looking for people who want to be a "Swarmbassador"
- Aug 20 21:07:36 <blueberrys> lol
- Aug 20 21:07:41 <GeneralGrinder> Is there a forum post with what read should take first tech plant bio lab so on
- Aug 20 21:07:45 <Marauder329_laptop> could we liason with them. Send a guy over as a squadie and relay info back
- Aug 20 21:08:19 <Tarr|Laptop> their job will be to idle in the #nc-command-genudine channel and coordinate with other outfits whenever they are on
- Aug 20 21:08:35 <WCR-jv27> swarmbassador? my contacts are all enemies in RMA/VOID. lol
- Aug 20 21:08:41 <Tarr|Laptop> and also use any other means they deem necessary to keep the communications flowing

- Aug 20 21:12:57 <Marauder329_laptop> infantry and air usually are more populated
- Aug 20 21:13:01 <zerosin> I'm going to switch to just armor on ops nights
- Aug 20 21:13:15 <chloroplasm> yeah did he start the swarm?
- Aug 20 21:13:19 <Tarr|Laptop> I'm not sure exactly... we will probably have more interested after armor training next week though
- Aug 20 21:13:20 <ManbearPig> what all has been talked about?
- Aug 20 21:13:21 <Valiant418> I would go armor but haven't seen an armor ops training night. Not one I was available for at least.
- Aug 20 21:13:27 <WCR-jv27> apparently people in armor have lives to live. anyone seen my gunner or leader?
- Aug 20 21:13:54 <OrphanGeneral_Droid> Really..
- Aug 20 21:13:58 <Marauder329_laptop> I know I rip on air and armor but I love the reaver now and am hopeful to be at least proficient in vanguard tactics
