NA1 Events. Public LB, Canceled Post if you want to continue in the future

I want to bring up the idea of using specialists in a rotation method. That is, no single group or regiment has 'ownership' of a specialist type for the whole life of an organized event. Every week, or two weeks, a specialist slot that was occupied by one group or regiment could be a given opportunity for another group or regiment to try their hand at a particular specialist type. Provided of course, the specialist reservations are not already taken by a different group first already. Light infantry, riflemen (the skirmishers), cavalry, artillery and even the sapper can all be classified as specialists. This may, (but does not always) prevent stagnation of an event feeling like the same-old-same-old every week. The specialist units used by the same groups always can be a major turn off for new players or groups/regiments. Thoughts?

No one regiment will lock up a specialist slot or slots.  i plan on giving a fair shot to everyone who applies for one as much as i can.   if there are a lot of regiments going for the same specialist role, then a rotation may work.  as of right now, only the same 3 from last week have applied.  while i haven't decided who gets what yet, unless more people sign up, i do not see a reason to deny them it.

Fair enough. If no one else desires the specialist slots, then it is logical.

you got it

[Thunderstormer]

lb is in 45 min or so.  still got one skirm slot open.  we will modify specialist as necessary during the event.

ill be changing the name to nw....na1 public linebattle.  it should be on your favorite list still.  if its not, just look for a server with the appropriate name.

try and get there 10-15 min early so i can assign teams and do basic drill with the pubs.  we will be harsher with getting pubs on the right team and basically making it mandatory for them to be in ts.  they dont have to speak, just hear the commands. 

reg leaders, if you have a pub vol with you but they are not wearing tags, let an admin(mainly me) know so we dont swap them accidentally.

all good, were a few that didnt show up. hoping next week more people are there at the start so specialist can go their roles.   granted the line only didnt go too bad minus one hiccup.

Thanks to everyone who came, on time or late.  by the end the event was pretty full(180?)  even tho we were missing a few lines.  and thanks siwi's face for taking a bullet for me. 

wont be there for the next event(title updated) but it sounds like the staff will be able to cover it.  i'll still handle the stuff here.  specialist are open.


a reminder that you DO NOT have to sign up to attend this event.  It is open to all.  If you show up, you are expected to follow the rules.  if you and 5 friends decide to show up and make your own line, that is fine.   

sign ups are only required for specialist.   if the lb is fairly full and a regiment doesn't show up to take their specialist slot, it can be given to someone else.(like it was today with the 1stRRA)  be there 10-15 minutes early so we can assign teams and start at the top of the hour.

The 1st RRA does apologize for missing the event. There was a miscommunication between myself and the officer leading that night. We will not take a specialty this week as we do not deserve it and should show we can actually attend. Again do apologize.

If no one signs up for it and you still want it by then, let me know.(preferably by wednesday at the latest)

Was about to respond to one of your guys PMs but i can take care of it here.   you don't need to sign up to attend.  This event is open to all.  you only need to sign up for specialist roles.

you are still welcome to post here should you have any ideas, concerns, or just want to post about the events in general.  If you want to post here telling the staff you will be attending(and how many you may bring), that is fine by me. 

with 3 good size lines missing from the last event, we still managed to get 180 or so people.(from what i understand, all 3 still want to attend the event at least every now and then if not weekly.)

just a reminder, try and get there 10 or min early so we can assign teams and make sure everything is ready to go.
