TEDF Posted November 1, 2017 at 09:58 AM Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 at 09:58 AM 1. Squad sizes depend on how many people shows up. If its around 20, I'd suggest having 4 five man squads rather than 2 8 man squads. 2. Theres a commander slot open If anyone has a plan and wants to be in lead, feel free to post up. 3. Kits will be standard modern GB rifles. Heavy ATs and AAs are disabled. TOWs and Stinger emplacements are disabled. 4. Kit limitations are same as on the regular server. I'll put up a banner and ingame auto posts about the event later today. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=VG= Kavelenko Posted November 1, 2017 at 10:52 AM Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 at 10:52 AM Ok thanks TEDF, I'll be there to lead Alpha Group, I'll try and organize or at least get players to commit to the event. Its added incentive if they know that the group is relying on them they tend to turn up. Randoms of course will be more than welcome to fill the gaps if we get AWOLs. Also I'm sure someone can lead a squad if needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jersans Posted November 1, 2017 at 12:03 PM Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 at 12:03 PM Can we do sign-ups for the event so we roughly know how many people intent to join? I should be there for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double_13 Posted November 1, 2017 at 12:06 PM Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 at 12:06 PM You could make a poll for saying you joining the event yes (17) no (3) maybe (6) you can count the signups that way without having to spamm the post with yea I join Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=VG= Kavelenko Posted November 1, 2017 at 01:02 PM Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 at 01:02 PM So my normal default kits for Alpha Group fighting on Goose Green would be: Officer Kit Medic 1 Medic 2 Breacher Automatic Rifleman Rifleman/LAT Grenadier Rifleman/HAT If we cut that back to 5 man squad i guess we go with: Officer Kit Medic 1 Engineer (for digging FOBs) Automatic Rifleman Rifleman/LAT @Double_13 You could try that poll idea to see if that works but some guys are not members of this forum.

TEDF Posted November 1, 2017 at 02:11 PM Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 at 02:11 PM There won't be any signups for the event = no poll or similar (except commander). It will only confuse people who haven't joined previously to think that the event is for "members" only. Everyone is free to join the event and squads will be managed prior to start to give everyone fair chance of joining the squad they wish and to avoid the usual OP squad that we always have issues with (=No locked squads / kicking randoms). On both maps, team has enough time to sort out the kits and people in the beginning. On first map, there's no time limit, so take your time before you head out with boats. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double_13 Posted November 1, 2017 at 02:43 PM Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 at 02:43 PM @=VG= Kavelenko Well ted doesn’t seem to want the poll and it is not my post so I won’t make it. The poll was not to HAVE to sign up but more a simple way to see who is joining but like I said not my call. i shall inform the ruskies about the event but I doubt many will join due to server/staff related events.

What are the suggested numbers for each squad? Also do we have a detailed battle plan other than what's here and what weapons kits are we able to use? Are there squad limitations on kits for example? I will update the in game Message of the Day with a promo for the event. I will also put up an announcement here at the website linking to this thread. I've already added it to the calendar here, but it's not used and not pinned to the home page.. I might find a space for it above the chat. Kav and I were talking about hosting weekly training events for various games, not just PR, and the calendar would help with that. Anyway, didn't mean to get off topic.. We'll get some active promotion going for this event. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok no problem, I can see what your intentions are for the event. I've already started recruiting players to come and play so Semler's idea to promote the event will help to point people in the right direction. If the event is primarily about getting more new players involved can I suggest that the password is definitely up on the page for those who do not use Team Speak or don't have mics? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=VG= SemlerPDX Posted November 1, 2017 at 08:02 PM Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 at 08:02 PM Announcement added here to website, upcoming calendar events added to home page (which would be an easy place for people to comment "I'll be there"), PR COOP TS3 Channel Description, and in-game MOTD updated, I assume it will go live on next server restart or maybe next mission load: "WELCOME! Join us November 11th 2017 for a Public PR COOP Event! Details at VETERANS-GAMING.COM" edit: when I updated the server just now, I did a mumble test with Kenji (who was in TS3) - before I left, I asked "you gonna be at the Event?" and he hadn't heard of it. Like Kav said, so many don't come to the website, so when you're playing, ask your friends and the people you play with if they are going to attend - if they've not heard of it, it's a good chance to direct them here to the website. I'm sure more than one will be impressed with the Mission Briefing that TEDF has prepared and we'll get more people joining it if we hype it a bit in-game over the coming weeks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok that gives me a target to aim for, Golakka from GI wanted to know whether they could play together I said I'd find out but I told him that intention of the event was to include all players and resist creating OP squads leaving the rest of the team unbalanced.

[GI] Nibbles Posted November 2, 2017 at 11:04 PM Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 at 11:04 PM Hey guys, Event sounds great! I'm afraid I won't be able to attend due to other obligations. [GI] will be attending though, under leadership of [GI] Goiakka. We are expecting a great turn-out from our part.

Must have missed it when I posted yesterday. But read and understood. Either way, Golakka has been asking around and assembling a team of [GI] and everyone is revved up for the event seeing that we haven't been able to participate in any of them so far. I understand the necessity of having to balance the game, so I'll let the boys know what to expect. ~ Nibs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double_13 Posted November 3, 2017 at 12:05 PM Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 at 12:05 PM Well for lol we could scramble the squads before hand using some fancy software. this prevents the creation of OP squads solely because they load up faster or wait with making a squad until the randoms are assigned. This is the only true way making random squads as one might put in a squad the never played with. This would be good as the player will have to interact with the people and so getting to know each other. However it will be hard to accomplish as not everybody reads the stuff.

TEDF Posted November 3, 2017 at 12:37 PM Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 at 12:37 PM The idea behind random squads is to get people to meet and play with others who they usually don't play with on vanilla matches. This would be a great way to have less experienced players learn from the veterans and people to get to know each other a bit more. I know it's more fun to play with your usual crew and I'm not going to micromanage the squads or start warning people for stacking up in one, but I do encourage you guys to split up and mix the squads. Veterans who don't wish to lead, don't join your favourite squad leader right away. Wait a few minutes for others to join up and then take the leftover spaces. If you see your squad is getting stacked, make the sacrifice and join the squad that has less experienced players. Let's try to make completely mixed squads with people who usually don't play together. VG guys, mix up with GI people and vice versa, for example. Don't kick randoms who start asking questions. Take your time to answer them. Don't kick people from your squads just because you are waiting for someone else to join. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
