Gold Squadron Newsletter - March 2013
Gold Squadron Newsletter
March 12, 2013
=== CO's Ramble ===
It's been a long time since I put one of these out due to low interest in the RS, but I'm getting back on track. As you've probably noticed, Session XIV started on Sunday and will end on April 21st. There's plenty of time for activities from the normal set to the RS Activity of the Month and a new writing competition; details on those last two are in the recent news on the site.
Go for the Gold!
- CMDR Hermus Dogan
=== Squadron Status ===
An AWOL check went on a few months ago, but I never actually announced the outcome. Everyone is around except for Domeno, who hasn't been active for a year and is out of contact. I've removed him from the squadron.
Gold currently has nine members.
=== Activity ===
Half the squadron reported activity during the last session, netting us fourth place.
From the leader board:
Anubis - 26.4 MP points
Darth Gumbo - 27.6 MP points
Hermus Dogan - 2 SP points
InterlinkKnight - 1 SP point
Nicolai Ginofev - 9.6 MP points
The new session began on Sunday, and ends April 21st.
=== Promotions ===
None to report.
=== Medals ===
None new to report, though a few have been awarded over the past few months:
Mar 3: COL jcmcgoo - 10-Year Service Medal
Mar 3: CMDR Hermus Dogan - RS Academy Instructors Medal (Academy)
Feb 25: MAJ Anubis - 5-Year Service Medal
Feb 11: 1LT Ace Antilles - 1-Year Service Medal
Feb 8: COL Nicolai Ginofev - 8-Year Service Medal
=== Squadron Activity ===
There's no special activity this month. If anyone has ideas, be sure to let me know!
-----
Otherwise, there are the usual batch of activities.
Simming - Many of you are already familiar with this. http://rpg.rebelsquadrons.org/
Flight sims and EaW - The new missions haven't been posted yet, but they'll be in the usual place. http://www.rebelsquadrons.org/itod/
Historical missions - You can always play old missions from the various platforms and report the results for a limited number of activity points. Listing here: http://missions.rebelsquadrons.org/ and reporting here: http://www.rebelsquadrons.org/itod/hist/
Multiplayer - Play matches of any game you can provide a screenshot of the results for, but at least two members of the RS must participate in the match to qualify. http://www.rebelsquadrons.org/multiplayer/mp_non_comp
Fiction - Introduced as a squadron activity in the last session, now a permanent option. Rules are in the section below.
= Fiction Writing =
This is a permanent activity for whenever you feel the inkling. Write about whatever your RS character might be up to: recent activities, a specific event in the character's life, playing a practical joke on another member, etc. If you're into simming with the ABG you can alternately pick any of the characters you've created for that. Yes, even dead ones. In addition, you can write about the (mis)adventures of your character(s) in Star Wars: The Old Republic if you like, or just use the Old Republic setting for a framework.
The fiction must be at least 300 words, but can otherwise be as long as you want. You'll receive a point for each piece of fiction you write. These rules are subject to change once the official fiction rules are sorted out.
You can post your fiction in this forum thread: http://www.rebelsquadrons.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=3410
=== Closing ===
That's all for now. Go for the Gold!
