I think Chutt would be the best choice for the Kitties, IMOHPO...
He will provide a great challenge in the way of strategy and tactics for the Coalition.

I did it last time and retured undefeated, I like that.

I prefer to be the little voice roaring in the RM's ear, and I'll be an active supporter and aide for them without any title. This seemed to work well on SGO7

Consigliere is the only title I like these days.

KAT Chuut-Ritt · « **Reply #3 on:** May 02, 2007, 12:11:37 pm »

Now Dizzy has already stated that he plans to fly Lyran for this, and I think he wouldn't be adverse to starting with a legendary crew.

He is online alot, has good voice coms clarity, is an excellent pilot, thinks somewhat strategically (Chuut will be advising him too), and can understand even his own rules.

I nominate Dizzy if the one who was tentative before decides not to do it.

Besides Dizzy, nothing will get you more PvP than the title and the legendary ship.

You know how quickly my 2 year old "Ensign Cuddles" can scuttle that ship, permanently?

Or how quickly "Admiral Wifey" can get that ship dry-docked and me involuntarily reassigned for the entire campaign? As it is, she busted her foot causing the RIS Dyer's Eve to spend over the last week of SGO7 on blocks...

Remember that a CAYL is considered a LINE ship for fleeting purposes. So that Legendary ship is basically your third leg in a 3 way fleet. Nasty, eh? Imagine a Fast cruiser, a DN and one of those. Someone doesnt fly the fast (real fast) game they are dead...

I thought a Fast cruiser was considered a capital for fleeting, therefore it cannot run with a DN right?

Here is a quote from the rules:

Fleeting Rules:

- No Capital Ships, (BC's, DN's, Multi-Ship Fleet included and CCX/CAX's), are allowed to fly together.
- No X ships are allowed to fly together.
- Fast Cruisers are treated as Capital ships.

Dizzy · « **Reply #30 on:** May 03, 2007, 10:06:38 pm »

Not anymore. The rules will be revised because they were too restrictive. I think relaxing them so Fast cruisers can wing with anything else that isnt fast... like fast dreads and other fast cruisers. But with the third ship being a line ship, that really levels the playing field and will allow us to see a few more fast cruisers in the game. Admit it, fast cruisers really didnt play a part in last server...

Dfly · « **Reply #31 on:** May 03, 2007, 10:22:26 pm »

all this talk about how dangerous a CAY would be yet it would not even be out till 2270. The actual ISC CA has 3 plasma G and becomes the CAW in 2265 and later the CAT and CATZ.
The other CA is the CAP,which has the 1 ppd and 2 plasma G does not come out till 2268 and it's upgrade is the CAY in 2270.

Of course, someone could always allow the CAY to come out earlier(hint hint).

Depends. It's the evolved head RM post of the team, so if it's a dispute free server, not too much. Still have to write daily battle plans, keep the troops focused, help deal with oddball conditions that require mid-server rule changes, and be able to handle any/all questions on the rules...

Dizzy · « **Reply #35 on:** May 04, 2007, 06:48:44 am »

It's a daily job. You need to post ops, get your players motivated, keep them motivated. You need to be leading from multiple levels... It's a damned tough job and the one who has been the most consistent and successful at it, imo, doesnt get the credit he deserves. It's a thankless job really... Just like running servers. I'll leave him nameless, but after AOTK2 which saw me move into a temp co-lead position with Hooch as his backup when he wasnt on, I realized quickly how tough a job it is and if you arnt 100% dedicated, let someone else that has the time do it. That's why I'm not sure, I dont think I'll be there 100%. DH missed a few hours and because of Hexx and the lack of backup RM's just a few hours made the difference in several VC's that could easily had been saved. So it's crucial you be there at all times. Give players your cell phone number, all that. Don't sleep. Eat breathe and live the server for a month. Love the game and hate your enemy. Basically u just have to wire the server connection into your ass and you're ok.

t00l in SGO6 setup, before the server started, a clear line of command from himself down to race RMs, and even day & night shift leaders. Even when he was not able to do his "leadership duties", other players knew what to expect, and who would typically up to do it.

There will always be moments of command gaps during a server, just like during a war. You do your best to address these and have key people to fill in gaps where you can. Kreug has consistantly done an excellent job but even he has gaps from time to time, so don't worry too much, do what you can do, get the right people helping you, and have fun.

When I knew I was going to have an absence ahead of time during AOTK II I temporarily turned command over to a race RM. Mutt did a great job of picking up the ball, as I knew he would for those couple of days. The basic plan was already laid out with some flexibility. Having initiative and some leeway he made the right decisions.

The key is having people that are able to make the call when you aren't around, and allowing them enough freedom to do so. Also, and most importantly allowing them to have fun doing so, alomng with everyone on your team.

KAT Chuut-Ritt · « **Reply #41 on:** May 04, 2007, 01:19:49 pm »

Oh, one more thing, the leader has to be decisivive and have enough ego to sell his plans to the team so that they can have confidence to follow the plans, but still be open-minded enough to see the merits of other ideas that teamates give to him and choose the best course.
