PBF NL 1-6-02
Slyder sat at his desk, a mountain of paperwork towerd over him. He heard a buzz at the door.
"Come in." he said with a sigh.
The paperwork was so high, he couldn't see the door open, or even who it was come in. He didn't even know untill a hulking pair of boots slapped up on his desk and the familiar voice sounded.
"How's it go mate?" Fion asked. The words slightly gurgled under the Wyrens he was drinking.
"Can't tell?" Sly asked with a heavy sarcasim accent. "The fleet is jumbled at the moment. Transfer requests are comming in like they are going out of style, we've lost some pilots in action recently, and I have to get a report into Rahj by the end of the week."
Fion swallowed the sip hard.
"Everything is peechy." Slyder said.
Suddenly, and very quietly, the boots were pulled off the desk. A large yawn followed shortly. "Well, looks like it's about that time..."
Slyder could tell there was creeping going on behind the papers.
"Not so fast mister XO."
"I know you were going to say that." Fi grimased.
"Gather up 4 pilots...and have the deck prep 2 Xs and 3 As...I've got a special assignment for you."
Fion swallowed his last sip as he exited the office. "Great."
-----PBF News Flash-----
Not a lot of news this weeks folks, so I did leave in last weeks in case you
missed any.
1) Missed MRM on 310
Yes, the CS was really busy with a lot of discussions last week people. I must have missed the email with MRM cadidates in it, I appologize. MRM winners for 310 were GAd & Tym Angel. Congrats guys.
2) Mmebers of WC
So far I have been contacted by Face, and 2 other pilots for new placements. I need to hear from you all so we can put you into new homes. please contact me asap.
3) XOs on PBFCommand
All XOs, wing and squad level have been added to the list so they will be able to provde their own input.
4) Bad mission copy
Okay, as usual, for whatever reason, the version of 311 that I got and sent out was the wront one. I don't understand how I keep getting the wrong versions, but oh well. The correct version is available for download on the website.
Old News:
1) XOs joining command list
I know this isn't really big news, but we are going to be adding all XOs to
the command list in an effort to increase the productivity of our group, as
well as making that job more important. Hang tight, I'll finish it this
weekend.
2) Wing Disbannment
Well, we have voted on the third squadron dibannment, or voiced our
opinions, and I have decided that it is in our best interest to go ahead and disbann
WildCard. They have agreed to it allready, as it is best for the fleet. I
need members of WC to tell me where they'd like to go. Also, members of the
CS, we need to map out the new wing setups as we are going to disbann
(temporarily of course as with everything else) Provider. Jake, You will retain te
CO spot for when it is re formed. I'll talk to you guys more on this in the
group.
3) Mission deadline
With 311 going out late this month, I have set the deadline at the 31st of
january. Mainly to get us back on the monthly mission reporting at the end of
the month, but also because the CS is discussing a new way to fly and report
on missions, which will be easier to do on a end of moneth basis.
-----PBF Mission Standings-----
310 is fully done, congrats to all that flew. 311 is out, get flying.
PBF Top Ace: CMDR Shil 55 64,762 Crimson Squadron
You have the honor of adding the Top Ace medal to your signoff: [<|=(V)=|>]
PBF Top Squad: Crimson Squadron 343 348,744 9
PBF Top Wing: Provider Wing 518 554,554 14
-----PBF Mission Report Medal-----
The mission report medal for the previous month goes to:
You have the honor of adding the MRM medal to your signoff: [*MRM*]
The current Patriot Battle Fleet mission is:
311
The deadline for the current mission is:
Jan 31, 2002
You can download the current mission at:
http://www.rebelsquadrons.org/pbf/missions.html
Send reports with pilot files attached to:
pbfreports@rebelsquadrons.org
&
RS_Slyder@gmx.co.uk (to be safe), spokes1@mindspring.com and
fion_grell@gmx.net
Plus your own squadron CO.
The rules for flying the mission are:
1) You may run this mission as many times as you like but you MUST
get the MISSION COMPLETE message and have a valid *.plt file in order
to be eligible for the PBF Medal of victory. In addition, any score
not accompanied by a pilot file for verification will NOT be counted
by the PBF Command Staff.
2) Run the mission as "defect.xwi" ( this will place it as X-Wing
X-Wing TOD 1 Mission 1 ) so that your stats will be recorded in your
*.plt file.
3) Make a new pilot file to run the mission. If you fail the mission
and wish to run it again make sure to use a new pilot file instead of
re-running it with the same pilot. Any pilot file found to be
"unclean" will result in the score NOT being counted by the PBF
Command Staff.
4) Destroying "Friendly" craft to pad ones stats is strictly
prohibited. *.plt files containing "Rebel" craft kills will be
considered invalid.
5) You should also include a written report with your score laser/ion
shots and hits, missile shots and hits and kill totals in the email.
6) Pilot files will be manually calculated using the Official PBF
Standard scoring chart for X-wing. Anyone interested in obtaining a
copy of this chart, can email me to do so.
7) No individual scores will be changed after the deadline! If a
report is submitted that is never received at the report address
given above, it will not be added after the deadline. Neither will
the PBF CO accept a late pilot file. The only thing that can be
changed afterwards are errors made by the Command Staff.
8) There is a Fleet Wide competition based on this tour. Every pilot
who sends in a valid report will receive 1 merit point. The pilot
with the best overall score for the mission will be awarded a special
PBF Top Gun medal, along with receiving a 5 point bonus in the PBF
Merit System. In addition participating members from the squadron
with the best overall combined score will receive 5 bonus merit
points in addition to "Top Squadron" bragging rights. Also, the pilot
with the top score for each squadron (excluding the winning squadron,
and Top Gun) will receive 3 bonus PBF merit points. The reporting
members of the Squadrons on 2nd and 3rd places will get 2 bonus PBF
merit points.
*Note* In the even that the Top Pilot for the mission also happens to
be in the Top Squadron he may only receive the 5 bonus Credits for
one or the other. Same thing applies to each squadron Top Pilot and
2nd and 3rd place squadrons.
9) Mail problems including undelivered mail and corrupted *.plt files
are not the responsibility of the PBF command staff. If your *.plt file
becomes corrupted and you do not include a written accounting,
then your score will be counted as "0".
10) If a pilot retires from the PBF at any time during the course of
an active mission after having submitted a report, his report will no
longer count for his former squadron. He will still receive credit
for running the mission, but will be listed as "Inactive".
11) If a pilot transfers from one PBF squadron to another (such as
attaining a squadron CO position) during the course of an active
mission after having submitted a report, his report will will now
count towards the newfound squadron.
