Beginnings
In late 1995, Super (then Vice Admiral) created and implemented the concept of the Interactive Tour of Duty (ITOD). At that time, the ITOD was a way of playing the original X-Wing game within an ongoing, changing plot. Back in the day, ITOD was a very effective recruiting tool for Vice Admiral Super and the RS itself. The concept of ITOD has since been expanded to be used with other games by successive generations of RS members.
Brief Description
In an ongoing ITOD, the leader produces a weekly custom mission for their game, based on a general story. Each member then plays the mission and reports back on how well they did on their first attempt. The results of the mission are judged successful or not by the average results of those who provide their reports. Each successive mission in the ITOD is then based on the results of the previous missions. In this way, members feel as though they are really taking part in the story. It should be noted that an ITOD is not easy to manage. Any leader who runs an ITOD smoothly should be commended for their dedication, skill and imagination.
