Just a quick note to say congrats to Gareth on running his first full-day fleet event and thanks for all the work that was put into it by G, the fab resources department and everyone else who made it possible.

The theme was a very cool idea and it was neat that everyone got on-board to change their signatures, the fleet logo and the site graphics to give it that extra feeling of immersion. Top notch fun!

Cheers all!

As someone who's worked closely with the leadership team for years, I can whole-heartedly say that you were not intentionally shut out of todays events. They always do their absolute best to ensure that everyone willing gets to participate, but they are not able to catch every instance.

It is unfortunate that you are feeling ignored, especially in this community where I find them to be a friendly bunch overall! Could it be possible that maybe they missed your messages in chat? If it's a question people don't usually respond if they are unsure of the answer. I've said stuff in chat, even whilst holding a leadership position, that have gone unanswered. I don't believe it has anything to do with popularity. (And honestly if someone believes themselves to be better than another in this fleet, then they can kindly sit in my ignore list.) It is more than likely that they were simply busy, albeit smashing the spacebar, paying attention to the chatter on TS, alt-tabbed, or having steamy chat conversations. (Oh, all of you do it, don't lie! :P )

Gareth has also offered to personally see to it that you are involved in the next events, and has tried to reach out to you today on multiple occasions, which I think says a lot.

I truly hope that you will reconsider your position and join us for future events. It can be a lot of fun and we need every member we can possibly get!

Best wishes,
~Andrew

Well thanks, too late for me. I am staying out of chat from now on and will participate less in the fleet. I have often felt ignored in the chat because when i say something or ask a question i just get dead air. If someone had of taken the extra energy to type in what you just did I would have been able to participate. However the lack of caring what people are asking in the chat is apparent and causes such misunderstandings. Popularity factor 0 equals being ignored regardless of the relevance to the game. Popularity factor 10 talks about passing gas and everyone is all over it. I stopped playing the popularity game when I was in high school. From now on I am a ghost until I find a better place to haunt.

I'm sorry to hear about what has transpired with your evening pinkscarab, I'm sure that with what you have noted would be taken into consideration for future event that happen in game and a clearer in-game conversation on what is required with certain PVE queue's is made clear when asked on to chat.

I must say, the feeling of being ignored is terrible to hear happen with you at this moment of time. With respect to Gareth, I'm sure that when future events come up that this kind of mishap won't happen again. But I ask if you could try to make further attempts with any new events to come, it would be disappointing to know you that you don't feel included with events.

Can I highlight in your other thread I responded within two minutes and got no response... we do our very hardest to make sure everyone is included. When running large scale event's it can be very time intensive for the organisers and there are a lot of things going on. Fleet chat can sometimes be overwhelmed with incoming communications and filtering through general chit chat and genuine calls for help can be difficult.

No one chooses to ignore you and if we had noticed the confused shout out we would have gladly given you a more detailed explanation of what we meant.

Had you stayed you would have possibly missed the large man teams but would have been included in the smaller gatherings, or you might have gotten into the larger ones once realising what we were doing.

Taking yourself away from chat and participating less within the fleet is your choice, but this is a very involved fleet and we do try, and succeed very well, at including everyone where we can.

General tips for the future, if in doubt, send a /tell to someone and they should be able to hear that notification and respond better than paying attention to fleet chat.

Any one of the leadership will be happy to assist when they are online, if you don't know who they are, this page should help!

:( did you not see my post above?

In the chat I was told that we cannot team up, the only way to play is to join random que's. So I thought that we cannot have the event like that so I went back to bed and missed the entire event. I was waiting for a week to play in the event and even took time off to be here. Got up at 6am ready to play and was told that I cannot play no one can team up. Is it my tag or something that puts people off me?

Anyway I hope everyone had fun

peace

Ohhhh with The big dig and another one, yea as Joseph said.. if we do a provate team it needs to be exactly 20 people to be able to start the game.. sadly only like 17 ot of 20 wanted to go, so we said.. ok we can just hit the pve button and queue for big dig ourselves.. and we would of all been in the same map.. that was the easier option to get in the game as we were so low on volunteers sadly :(

but after and before that we were running the standard "invites" to a team.

There are teams still queuing even now in game, so the days not over yet.

We all missed you in the pub quiz too :( i was looking for you in chat to see if you were comming for round 2, it was funny the last time :D

no fears there is another BIG event coming up very soon, Im gonna ensure you come to that one hehe. watch this space ;)

It was purely because we needed 20 people for the queues at the time and there wasn't 20 people in the fleet to play at that time. So we had to queue ourselves so that other people in the game would make up the remaining numbers. That's all. Everyone had to queue individually.

Damn I sure do love that bridge. Good screenshot!

How can we play if we cannot team up?

why cant you team? what l;evel are you?

some larger queues are very odd and need exact level people... but we have been running others that dont need that.

I did call out for you a few times. think you have gone

Rayne, thanks again for putting these together. I took a screenshot of Rand, Rayne, and I at the end of the evening as we were finishing up.

Name: Cai Jamm'n
Species: Adopted Trill
Alias: Douche-bag of Empok Nor
Department: Zek's Failed Emporium
Post: Bartender
Mission: Stay'n fly
Age: 19

-----------------------------------------------

Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a station called Empok Nor



In West Mirror Philadelphia born and raised
On the Parrises court was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
And all shootin some spring-ball outside of the school



When a couple of guys who were up to no good
Started making trouble in my neighbourhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
She said 'You're movin' with your uncle Garak in Empok Nor’



I begged and pleaded with her day after day
But she packed my suit case and sent me on my way
She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket.
I put my K-Opera on and said, 'I might as well kick it’.



Yellowstone, yo this is bad
Drinking Yamok Juice out of a champagne glass.
Is this what the people of Empok living like?
Hmmmmm this might be alright.


But wait I hear they're prissy, bourgeois, all that
Is this the type of place that they just send this cool trill?
I don't think so
I'll see when I get there
I hope they're prepared for the prince of Empok Nor



Well, the shuttle docked and when I came out
There was a dude who looked like a cop standing there with my name out
I ain't trying to get arrested yet
I just got here
I sprang with the quickness like lightning, disappeared



I whistled for a beer and when he came near
The tender said whut and it had fur in the ears
If anything I could say that this ferengi was rare
But I thought 'Nah, forget it' - 'Yo, home to empok nor’



I pulled up to the station about 7 or 8
And I yelled to the pilot 'Yo home smell ya later'
I looked at my kingdom
I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the Prince of Empok Nor

Wow ... I feel so honored that Manu has felt the article so worthy, that he has used it for his own promotional purposes

If you have not yet read this issue yet please do so. It took the internet by storm. In just after 24 hours of it being posted on Twitter / Facebook both sites suspended being able to click on the links as they were being hit too many times. The comments left by those who have read it have been amazing ... and they are still coming in too :)

Science log, Ensign T'Nel reporting:

Today, Captain Rayne called together Lieutenants Rand and Clavik, and myself, for a training simulation exercise aboard the Duranja. The first half of the mission, in which we engaged in space battle against Elachi vessels, went smoothly. However, there were some unusual issues during the ground portion of the simulation that warrant investigation.

As I walked through the corridor after our "beam-in", I perceived that I was not walking as fast as Rand or Clavik. In fact, at points it almost seemed as if I was walking backwards, a sensation not unlike walking on a treadmill, or feeling as if one were running tethered to an elastic band. I thought nothing of it at first, because I was focused on fulfilling the objectives of the simulation.

But then, as we turned a corner into a chamber, Lt. Clavik fell out of view. I contacted him via commbadge and received no response, even after several attempts. Just as suddenly as he disappeared, Clavik returned. There was no indication that he had beamed out and in again. He reported that it was as if he had "blacked out" for a few moments, and then returned to the holodeck.

As we proceeded through the simulation, Lt. Clavik underwent the same experience at least twice more. Then, with no warning, I too experienced the sensation of "blacking out" the lieutenant described, and perceived neither light nor sound until the end of the simulation.

At first, I considered the possibility that both Lt. Clavik and I were experiencing a psychological phenomenon unique to Vulcans, as Lt. Rand reported no such difficulties. However, I ruled out such a possibility, as the likelihood that both Clavik and I had suffered illnesses that involved the symptoms we reported was less than 0.2%.

So I considered then that the problem was actually related to the holomatrix. Both Lt. Clavik and I experienced visual difficulties--we both reported not being able to see anything, and my visual experience in the first corridor was incongruous with my motion. I thus conclude that there is a problem with the holomatrix, akin to the scratches on ancient analogue recording discs. These imperfections produced "skips" and blanks in the data. It would seem that there is a similar "scratch" within the coding of the holomatrix.

This hypothesis does not answer why Lt. Rand did not have the same experience in the holodeck. And it does not fully answer why Lt. Clavik and I received no other sensory stimuli--auditory or tactile--during our "blackouts". Capt. Rayne insists that these malfunctions were not a part of his simulation, so I must eliminate the possibility that this was a bit of subterfuge intended as part of our training. I will next file a report with the Engineering Department, so that they may analyze the coding of the holomatrix.

Computer, end log.
