We have changed the requirements - apologies to all - but we really want to target a particular audience for this event. I will work on another event which in all likelihood occur prior to this due to the level of coordination required - please don't think we are forgetting our older member base.

The clan captains are discussing the structure of the next Forum Member's Skirmish - and before we go down the path of numerous hours of preparation and planning are seeking the input from the people that this proposed event is geared towards. The purpose of the night is to introduce newer players to these events in a less stressful/ friendly manner, provide training, and to generally welcome new members to our community.

 

Please read carefully - This event is for new forum members/players (post count < 200/ and joined within the past 6 months*). If you don't fit into this category, please abstain from commenting and voting

 

If sufficient numbers aren't obtained - we will either open this up to other forum members or move to a skirmish layer map. In the event we do get 64 people signed up - priority will be given to newest members.

ETA: the purpose behind choosing this map is a sort of a 'lesson's learnt' exercise

count me in

count me in too

Count me in three

I think I'm just in the 6 months I'll be there

 

@Noddy, will clan captains and bD regs be squadleading and/or flying choppers?

Yes that's the plan

i wont vote, but if you need a positive LAV driver/gunner i will fill that spot. i would love nothing more than to show our new comers a good tactical time.

sounds good

count me in.. : )

 

 

*Edit- Any chance that if the numbers are sufficient, that we may have squads pre-planned and posted up. Just thought this may enable each squad to have a chat about their role and kits, and also give the squad leaders a heads up on what part of the structure that has been posted, that they will be designated.

I'd be up for joining him...?

since i managed to "pull it off"? so to speak?

:sweat:

I dare say chopper pilots and APC drivers will be chosen on their ability to wait patiently until ordered to do something, and not wander off and do their own thing in the interim, it's not specifically about who the "best" APC driver will be ... but Noddy will have to confirm.

This. I would like to see an APC in an actual infantry support role, rather than going hunting alone in South City etc

I'm in

same

be awesome if we could have our commander on TS so he can adjust accordingly... section 3 move to secure south of sec 4, LAVSEC move to support 3 and hold, would be a great game, and im all in for the extra role play if thats what you need. we could use it more like a dismount.

 

I have not voted and dont intend on doing so either.

I'm astounded that some people [5], after having their votes removed due to not fitting either criteria, still insist on voting again despite the big red text explaining what I can only deem a very simple set of appropriate voters.

Sound like a noob gathering! I sorta felt the during the last night I didn't have as much enthusiasm: partially cause the mec team kept pwning us... Reading the post i expected some hard-core gaming, but found it was pretty much just another night of pr for me

 

I hope this game will be more interesting

Ill probablly play, since it sounds more teamworky

im keen but im just out of the 6 mnths

Considering that it's highly unlikely that there will be 60+ people signed up in the last 6 months that will post here, chances are you'll be in. I'm guessing what will happen is that once initial 'newbie' interest is garnered, it will be opened up to sign ups with priority going to those who signed up to the forums closest to 2010... so someone like me would be screwed

 

Edit: Here's your 64 newest potential players

http://www.bigdgaming.net/memberlist.php?&order=Desc&sort=joindate&pp=65

 

edit again: Although I wish that there was a requirement to make at least 1 post in the "introduce yourself" thread before being able to view forum member areas, which would hopefully get people a little more involved... only 7 of those 65 people have actually posted since joining

Edited January 19, 201015 yr by Husker

Perhaps have a rolling server message on Servers 1 and 2 advertising the night?

 

Something like "Get more involved in the BigD Community, sign up at whereever and register your interest in a new member training night!"

I think there are enough worthless spam threads on this forum for me to avoid posting something u guys dont really need to read Ill be in this if im within the 6month time frame.

I like to let my actions and rifle do the talking

 

Edit: april, well i guess not then lol
