== Introduction ==

Super was one of several persons that [[Re-founders|re-founded]] the [[Rebel Squadrons]] in July of 1995. His first command was the [[Gold Squadron (original)|original Gold Squadron]]. After some time he introduced the gaming method called [[Interactive Tour of Duty]], then referred to as InterTOD, now called [[ITOD]], which served as an early beacon for gamers looking for an interactive experience in the days before online gaming.

== Becomes First Fleet Commander ==

Due to his success and timed with failures by other leaders, the membership of the Rebel Squadrons held a club wide referendum in February 1996 to choose Super as the new leader. Once leader, he established the rank of [[Fleet Commander]] and he set out to restructure the RS better support club activities and prepare it for further growth. After a rocky shake up in March and April 1996, he and many other members where able to lay the foundation for the Rebel Squadrons' future.

[http://ho.rebelsquadrons.org/history/fleet/rf.php History of the RF] </center>

== Later Career Activities ==

Super disappeared on Nov 30, 1996 and re-emerged in April 1997 where he formally stepped down as Fleet Commander. [[Dialathos]] had been elected Acting FC by the [[High Command]], so Super proposed that the HC just make Dialathos the FC. Super settled in to his new non-FC role, reassuming direct command of [[Redemption Fleet]], and oversaw the start of several groups, including the [[Commando Division]], then called the [[New Republic Commando Division]]. At his request in late 1997, the NRCD was made a Fleet, and Super was promoted to Sector Admiral. He then retired from the Rebel Squadrons.

In mid-1998, Super returned to active duty, and started the [[Historical Office|Office of Historical Records]], and some sort of recruitment corp within the [[Redemption Fleet]]. With lack of time and changing enviroment, he was unable to effectively handle operations so resigned those positions after several months. At this point, Super felt he was no longer able to contribute to the Rebel Squadrons, so he retired from the club entirely in early 1999.

== Coming out of Retirement ==

Super returned again to active duty in 2005 to play the new Battlefront game. He was stunned to find the [[Commando Division]] (then called [[Rebel Squadrons Commando Division]] (RSCD)) in disarray. The then current [[Fleet Commander]] [[Spokes]] asked him to take command of the RSCD to return it to its former glory (or at the very least to give it someone who could run its operations). Super created the [[MMOC]], oversaw the retirement of the [[Katarn]]s, splitting the Jedi games from the other FPS games, the renaming of the RSCD to Command Division (CD), the demotion of the Commando Division to wing status under the [[RF]], and roster restructuring; all in an overall strategy to get Commando Division into a position to be built up around the new FPS games. His effects turned the Command Division around, but more work is to be done. In Nov 2006, Super resigned as Commando Division Commander.

Currently, he is again retired.

== Fiction Biography ==

=== Beginnings ===
Super was a young but ingenious strategist who first proved his talent in the Outland Pirate Bands. As a pilot in the Pirate Bands, he was reckless but brave. His bravery quickly earned him respect throughout the Outland. After a series of heated battles with rival bands, his recklessness was replaced by inspiration. His career in the Pirate Bands came to a climax when he organized and commanded a raid on one of our own Rebel Alliance Frigates, the Mainstay. After capturing the Mainstay, he renamed it to [[Warcry]] and turned his attention to attacking the larger targets of the Empire, with his ever growing number of loyal privateers and pirates.

However, Super soon discovered why the Rebel Alliance had so few capital ships at that time. They are extremely expensive to maintain. To account for this, he established an extensive privateer network to fund the Warcry operations. This gave Super much needed supply-line and economic experience. Rebel Alliance Intel observed Super for two years and finally offered him the opportunity to join the Alliance as [[Vice Admiral]] commanding his own Rebel Alliance fighter squadron aboard the Warcry. Accepting this position and flying the Rebel Alliance flag on the Warcry meant he had to get most of his loyal people to approve and sign on with him. Fortunantly for the Rebel Alliance, most of his people did sign on and joined us in the fight against our common enemy, the Empire.

=== Rebel Alliance/New Republic Career ===
Super was first given command of Gold Squadron within the reassembled [[Rebel Squadrons]] (RS). RS was then assigned to Frontier patrol duties in the [[Greeop Sector]]. Super moved up in the ranks within the RS. Soon after the Battle of Endor, he was promoted to Admiral and given the command of the RS as Fleet Commander. Super was able to use mandate to reorganized the Rebel Squadrons to conduct ever expansive operations. After only 8 months, Super was captured by Imperial spies and held captive for 6 months before he was rescued in a secret New Republic operation. He did return to active service within the RS for a time, but not as the Fleet Commander. After many years, Super still remains active in RS activies.

== Introduction ==

Super was one of several persons that [[Re-founders|re-founded]] the [[Rebel Squadrons]] in July of 1995. His first command was the [[Gold Squadron (original)|original Gold Squadron]]. After some time he introduced the gaming method called [[Interactive Tour of Duty]], then referred to as InterTOD, now called [[ITOD]], which served as an early beacon for gamers looking for an interactive experience in the days before online gaming.

== Becomes First Fleet Commander ==

Due to his success and timed with failures by other leaders, the membership of the Rebel Squadrons held a club wide referendum in February 1996 to choose him as the new leader. Once leader, he established the rank of [[Fleet Commander]] and he set out to restructure the RS better support club activities and prepare it for further growth. After a rocky shake up in March and April 1996, he and many other members where able to lay the foundation for the Rebel Squadrons' future. More details to this can be found at the following links: <center>

[http://ho.rebelsquadrons.org/history/brief.php Brief History of the RS] |
[http://ho.rebelsquadrons.org/history/fleet/rf.php History of the RF] </center>

== Later Career Activities ==

Super disappeared on Nov 30, 1996 and re-emerged in April 1997 where he formally stepped down as Fleet Commander. [[Dialathos]] had been elected Acting FC by the [[High Command]], so Super proposed that the HC just make Dialathos the FC. Super settled in to his new non-FC role, reassuming direct command of [[Redemption Fleet]], and oversaw the start of several groups, including the [[Commando Division]], then called the [[New Republic Commando Division]]. At his request in late 1997, the NRCD was made a Fleet, and Super was promoted to Sector Admiral. He then retired from the Rebel Squadrons.

In mid-1998, Super returned to active duty, and started the [[Historical Office|Office of Historical Records]], and some sort of recruitment corp within the [[Redemption Fleet]]. With lack of time and changing enviroment, he was unable to effectively handle operations so resigned those positions after several months. At this point, Super felt he was no longer able to contribute to the Rebel Squadrons, so he retired from the club entirely in early 1999.

== Coming out of Retirement ==

Super returned again to active duty in 2005 to play the new Battlefront game. He was stunned to find the [[Commando Division]] (then called [[Rebel Squadrons Commando Division]] (RSCD)) in disarray. The then current [[Fleet Commander]] [[Spokes]] asked him to take command of the RSCD to return it to its former glory (or at the very least to give it someone who could run its operations). Super created the [[MMOC]], oversaw the retirement of the [[Katarn]]s, splitting the Jedi games from the other FPS games, the renaming of the RSCD to Command Division (CD), the demotion of the Commando Division to wing status under the [[RF]], and roster restructuring; all in an overall strategy to get Commando Division into a position to be built up around the new FPS games. His effects turned the Command Division around, but more work is to be done. In Nov 2006, Super resigned as Commando Division Commander.

Currently, he is half-retired, remaining mostly inactive in [[EaW]] activities within the [[RID]], with some minor participation within the Commando Division and the Battlefront games.

== Fiction Biography ==

=== Beginnings ===
Super was a young but ingenious strategist who first proved his talent in the Outland Pirate Bands. As a pilot in the Pirate Bands, he was reckless but brave. His bravery quickly earned him respect throughout the Outland. After a series of heated battles with rival bands, his recklessness was replaced by inspiration. His career in the Pirate Bands came to a climax when he organized and commanded a raid on one of our own Rebel Alliance Frigates, the Mainstay. After capturing the Mainstay, he renamed it to [[Warcry]] and turned his attention to attacking the larger targets of the Empire, with his ever growing number of loyal privateers and pirates.

However, Super soon discovered why the Rebel Alliance had so few capital ships at that time. They are extremely expensive to maintain. To account for this, he established an extensive privateer network to fund the Warcry operations. This gave Super much needed supply-line and economic experience. Rebel Alliance Intel observed Super for two years and finally offered him the opportunity to join the Alliance as [[Vice Admiral]] commanding his own Rebel Alliance fighter squadron aboard the Warcry. Accepting this position and flying the Rebel Alliance flag on the Warcry meant he had to get most of his loyal people to approve and sign on with him. Fortunantly for the Rebel Alliance, most of his people did sign on and joined us in the fight against our common enemy, the Empire.

=== Rebel Alliance/New Republic Career ===
Super was first given command of Gold Squadron within the reassembled [[Rebel Squadrons]] (RS). RS was then assigned to Frontier patrol duties in the [[Greeop Sector]]. Super moved up in the ranks within the RS. Soon after the Battle of Endor, he was promoted to Admiral and given the command of the RS as Fleet Commander. Super was able to use mandate to reorganized the Rebel Squadrons to conduct ever expansive operations. After only 8 months, Super was captured by Imperial spies and held captive for 6 months before he was rescued in a secret New Republic operation. He did return to active service within the RS for a time, but not as the Fleet Commander. After many years, Super still remains active in RS activies.

|-
|[[Image:smsalute.jpg|Smilie salute]]
|}
'''(:"''', '''(-:"''', '''":)''', and '''":-)''' are all examples of emoticons, or text representations, for the [[Rebel Squadrons]] salute, sometimes referred to as the '''smiley salute'''. This is a casual, yet respectful manner to address fellow and superior officers within the club, for use in chat sessions, forum threads, emails, etc.

==Purpose==

The smiley salute serves as a way to show respect to fellow members of the Rebel Squadrons without being overly formal. One advantage for its use is that it is easier and quicker to type than other methods, such as ''<nowiki><salute></nowiki>''.

It was created as part of an over all effort to establish a fun atmosphere for the Rebel Squadrons. It provides a stark contrast to some other on-line game based clubs or clans, which may require more formality.

==History==

The symbol was created by [[FC]] [[Super]] in early to mid-1996. It was originally '''":)'''. However, due to the fact that instant messaging programs now convert the ''':)''' portion into a standard smiley face, thus ruining the smiley salute effect, the reversed '''(:"''' has become common.

'''(:"''' was included to [http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=%28%3A%22 Urbandictionary.com] on January 16, 2009, followed by '''":)''' later in 2009.

Licah is an RS God. Whatever he proposes is perfect.

There, no more red line. [[User:ThePoet444|Joshua Hawkins]] 10:09, 3 March 2006 (EST)

==Some template issues could use your attention==
Check out [[Battle of Blerthmore]]. Several problems here.
# the battle template is not accepting the image that I placed in it. ''This is now fixed.''
# the battle infobox is being infringed upon by the text and headings. ''Fixed now? I edited [[Template:Update]] accordingly.''
# there appears to be some issue with the way images get aligned. Or maybe this is just because there's no text on the page yet.--[[User:Dave|Dave]] 15:16, 26 January 2007 (EST) ''I believe these issues do not relate directly to the template, but are caused by the table of contents.

Sounds a bit like the Super effect. lol [[User:Fcsuper|Fcsuper]] 23:17, 16 July 2007 (EDT)

== Muwahahaha ==

Heh, apparently we both feel like massive wiki work today, :P

HeavyD 16:16, 19 January 2009 (EST)

: Yes indeed. I went on IRC to see if you were around :P What happened to User:RS David, which you used as recently as two months ago? Noticed it while working on some Commando Division stuff. -Licah 16:21, 19 January 2009 (EST)

:: I really have no idea. In fact I can't even really remember putting something in my talk page ever... Ah well.

:: HeavyD 16:26, 19 January 2009 (EST)

::: Well I'll be. Apparently there is both a Rs_david and RS_David account on there. Not fully sure why, but there is. I'm going to guess that it's because of one of two reasons: I created the rs_david one first thinking that the name would be all lowercase, and then correcting when I found out about the case-sensitive, or I forgot the password at one point a few years ago and created a new account resulting in a flip-flop between use of the two accounts, :P. Is there any chance of being able to merge the two users or delete one of them, Licah?

::: HeavyD 10:14, 5 February 2009 (EST)

== Sysop ==
I need to be promoted to sysop I think. i cannot edit the main page talk. I'm a trusted contributor on wikipedia.org, and a sysop on other quasi-commercial wiki. â€” '''[[User:Fcsuper|fcsuper]]''' ([[User talk:Fcsuper|What?]], [[Special:Contributions/Fcsuper|Where!]]) ([http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Inclusionism Inclusionistic] [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Eventualism Eventualist] ) â€” 19:34, 19 January 2009 (EST)

Thanks! and thanks for noticing the cool stuff. Although, the code for my signature is messy when I use it and then edit. I've made a template on another wiki that keeps the code clean. I'll bring it over here soon. â€” '''[[User:Fcsuper|fcsuper]]''' ([[User talk:Fcsuper|What?]], [[Special:Contributions/Fcsuper|Where!]]) ([http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Inclusionism Inclusionistic] [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Eventualism Eventualist] ) â€” 23:11, 19 January 2009 (EST)

Actually, nevermind, I guess this our version of metawiki automatically adds a SUBST statement to the sign when using a template. Oh well. it is what it is. Cool to look at on the reading page, and an explosion of code on the edit page. â€” '''[[User:Fcsuper|fcsuper]]''' ([[User talk:Fcsuper|What?]], [[Special:Contributions/Fcsuper|Where!]]) ([http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Inclusionism Inclusionistic] [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Eventualism Eventualist] ) â€” 23:36, 19 January 2009 (EST)

== One idea that won't be too ... ==

For your discussion on main/talk, I've commented with a possible idea. It shouldn't be too much trouble to set up. â€” '''[[User:Fcsuper|fcsuper]]''' ([[User talk:Fcsuper|What?]], [[Special:Contributions/Fcsuper|Where!]]) ([http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Inclusionism Inclusionistic] [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Eventualism Eventualist] ) â€” 10:56, 21 January 2009 (EST)

== Candidates for Deletion ==

Hey there Licah. I've been perusing the wiki a bit, particularly the special pages which show items needing updating, deleting, etc., and the "Candidates for Deletion" category got me thinking. How often do we actually go in and look at these marked pages? I did some looking and saw some which were tagged over a year ago and haven't been touched since. I deleted a few obvious ones, but didn't want to go on a spree before talking over it with someone.

HeavyD 12:11, 3 February 2009 (EST)

== Thanks / Edit summaries? ==

Heavy, the amount of work you've put into this in the past few days has been extraordinary.. it will really make the wiki more unified, better organized, and easier to use. Thank you for this. I've pointed out your efforts to some higher-ups :D

I'm wondering if, while you do this work, you could add brief edit summaries in the space provided? Even just "delete?" for a <nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki> tag would be enough to let other users know what you've proposed without having to click "show edit differences". It takes a second or two more per article but is worth it in the big picture, I think. -[[Licah]] 12:25, 5 February 2009 (EST)

: Aye, I'll see if I can start putting in some more summaries for you. And with regards to the merge or simple redirect... the wiki drives itself off a database, right? With posts/edits/etc linked to a user's ID number, correct? Might it be possible to run an SQL query to search for the IDs I want to change from and then replace with the one I want it to change to? Just some food for thought.

: As for all the editing I've done, it's part "this needs to really be cleaned up" and part "I'm so bloody bored at work", :P. - [[User:RS David|HeavyD]] 12:31, 5 February 2009 (EST)

== Categories ==

Licah, some items which I would like to bring to your attention for comments and ideas:

[[Categorization and sorting]]

There's some links at the bottom to the mediawiki category descriptor page, as well as a wiki extension for making categories expandable/collapsable, thus getting a tree view. Might be cool to look into and add in.

[[User:RS David|HeavyD]] 14:49, 20 February 2009 (EST)

== User merge extension link... ==

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:User_Merge_and_Delete

Have a gander. Might be worth looking into, as there are a few people who have multiple accounts on here. - [[User:RS David|HeavyD]] 11:53, 26 February 2009 (EST)

== Some ITOD stuff which I've been messing with ==

* [[PBF Tour 1]] (and its talk page)
* [[PBF 101]]
* [[RgF 409]]

You were the one who had originally made the RgF 409 page, and with the starship documenting task moving along so well I decided to take the ITOD page idea and build it up to something with a beefed up layout. I thought you might like to have a look at it and give some feedback.

I've also sent the links to Spokes and Castor so that they can either make the information gathering an activity for the PBF/PSG members or something of that sort instead of doing it all myself.

[[User:RS David|HeavyD]] 13:37, 27 March 2009 (EDT)

== Recent bout of spam ==

Hey there Licah. If you take a look at the recent changes, you'll see that we are apparently experiencing a bit of a spambot issue here. I think it might be wise to keep a watch on this and possibly be prepared for moderating user creation (at least for a short period of time).

[[User:RS David|HeavyD]] 14:36, 25 May 2009 (EDT)

: Licah, what do the Autoblock messages mean at http://wiki.rebelsquadrons.org/index.php/Special:Ipblocklist ? - [[User:RS David|HeavyD]] 14:45, 27 May 2009 (EDT)

== Template options for task forces ==

Hey there Licah. I'm thinking I want to show which ships were destroyed in a task force in the template as well, however I'm not quite sure '''how''' I want to represent it. So, I've currently come up with two options. Please let me know your thoughts!

== articles that need updating when FC changes ==

May I suggest some sort of marking, tag, hatnote or category that can be used to ID articles that need to be updated each time the FC changes? â€” '''[[User:Fcsuper|fcsuper]]''' ([[User talk:Fcsuper|What?]], [[Special:Contributions/Fcsuper|Where!]]) ([http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Inclusionism Inclusionistic] [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Eventualism Eventualist] ) â€” 00:09, 14 September 2009 (EDT)

'''Fleet Admiral''' is the highest club level rank. It is also currently the highest attainable rank in the Rebel Squadrons. It may be granted to persons who have proven activity and contributions to the Rebel Squadrons at the club level for a minimum of five months as a '''Admiral'''. A member only reaches the rank of '''Fleet Admiral''' through long service at the club-wide level, usually as a Fleet [[CO]] on [[High Command]] or as a member of the [[Executives|Executive staff]]. Promotion to this rank is at the discretion of either the [[Fleet Commander]] or majority vote by the [[High Command]].[[http://www.rebelsquadrons.org/bylaws/ranks.php]] The number of active '''Fleet Admirals''' in the Rebel Squadrons is intentionally kept at a low level to preserve the desirability of the rank.

==History==
The rank of '''Fleet Admiral''' has been the Rebel Squadrons' highest attainable rank since late 1997. Prior to that it was topped by [[Bar Admiral]] and [[Sector Admiral]].

Fcsuper: New section: color code no longer needed

All the previous discussions can be found [[Talk:Medals/archive|here]].

Recent topics of discussion:

* Fleets medals should be standardized and consolidated into fleet medals where possible.
* Commendation medals are too specific.
* Violet Cluster should not be retired because it is a "fun" medal.
* Alvace Star and Burdine Cluster should be replaced with names more relevant to the RS.
* MP Combat medals guidelines - should they be a daily averages or weekly total? should this include internal or just be for external competitions? should MP medals be recommended by the OO or MO?

|[[Image:smsalute.jpg|Smilie salute]]
|}
'''(:"''', '''(-:"''', '''":)''', and '''":-)''' are all examples of the text representation for the [[Rebel Squadrons]] salute, sometimes referred to as the '''smilie salute'''. This is a casual, yet respectful manner to address fellow and superior officers within the club, for use in chat sessions, forum threads, emails, etc.

==Purpose==

The smilie salute serves as a way to show respect to fellow members of the Rebel Squadrons without being overly formal. One advantage for its use is that it is easier and quicker to type than other methods, such as ''<nowiki><salute></nowiki>''.

It was created as part of an over all effort to establish a fun atmosphere for the Rebel Squadrons. It provides a stark contrast to some other on-line game based clubs or clans, which may require more formality.

==History==

The symbol was created by [[FC]] [[Super]] in early to mid-1996. It was originally '''":)'''. However, due to the fact that instant messaging programs now convert the ''':)''' portion into a standard smilie face, thus ruining the smilie salute effect, the reversed '''(:"''' has become more common.

'''(:"''' was included to [http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=%28%3A%22 Urbandictionary.com] on January 16, 2009, followed by '''":)''' later in 2009.

I was in favor of the AfD tag. However, upon looking at the "what links here" link, I am having second thoughts. However, it is unlikely someone looking for info on World of Warcraft will be coming to our wiki. And if they did, there's not much point in trying to attract them, unless by some small miracle that google will bring us potential new members who unwittingly find use by looking up sites that talk about WoW. :) â€” '''[[User:Fcsuper|fcsuper]]''' ([[User talk:Fcsuper|What?]], [[Special:Contributions/Fcsuper|Where!]]) ([http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Inclusionism Inclusionistic] [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Eventualism Eventualist] ) â€” 23:15, 5 February 2009 (EST)

keep or incorporate elsewhere - this was part of a proposed IO project. -[[User:Licah Fox|Licah]] 12:19, 5 February 2009 (EST)

: Do you have a link to or name of the proposed project? If so, we can then incorporate it into there. [[User:RS David|HeavyD]] 15:16, 5 February 2009 (EST)

:: it was more or less going to be an itemized accounting of how people earned every single one of their RS-wide and fleet merits. The merits would be added individually and not ever need their grand totals recalculated, as it is now. I think it sprung into action near the time of [[RS-wide merits]]. I'd classify it as medium-priority for the IO (would be pretty sweet to implement, and hopefully only a mid-scale project). I don't know of any particular wiki page that included this - "what links here" reveals nothing. I suppose: categorize it or move it to [[User:Licah Fox/Projects]] or an IO projects page. -[[User:Licah Fox|Licah]] 22:15, 5 February 2009 (EST)

{{update}}
'''Justice Fleet''' was one of the first three [[Fleet|fleets]] formed within the [[Rebel Squadrons]], as part of the club reorganization in the Spring of 1996. Before the reorganization, the Rebel Squadrons itself was viewed as a fleet. Justice Fleet was formed from the original AOL based squadrons that were centered around the PC version of [[X-Wing|X-Wing Flight Simulator]].

Yup, the "Projects" section should be split off (at least according to the system I've proposed on [[Talk:Main Page]]), like [[:Category:Internet Office projects]]; or at least the specifics can be split off and replaced with a general summary of current projects. The primary source material section is a little messy and in no particular order. I kinda just...slapped all that together while brainstorming one day. (Eventualist, hey? :P) And the [[Historical Office/Recent history]] page should probably be moved somewhere more sensible - maybe [[Rebel Squadrons history]] or something along those lines.

=== Service Medals ===

All the service medals should be awarded as the individual, crosses the particular milestone associated with the medal. Service medals are successive and only the latest medal will appear in each Member's Profile and on the uniform page. i.e., if you have a 7-Year Service Medal, it means you already earned the first six. Also, this is the only RS-Wide Medal that is "self-nominating" because so many of our Members joined before the use of the Profile DB and only those Members know for certain when they joined the Rebel Squadrons. However, any Member can nominate another Member if they know the join date.

*'''Level 1 Membership''' - '''1-Year Service Medal''' 
-Awarded in recognition of one year of active service to the Rebel Squadrons. '

== General Comments ==

===Order of Precedence===

The order of precedence of is determined first the level of the medal (Levels 1- 9) and then by its category. The following list indicates the order of precedence by category:

# Commendation
# Honorary
# Unit Commendation
# Combat
# Campaign Medals
# Service
# Graduation
# Fleet Medals

===Retired Medals===

Any RS-Wide medals not mentioned here, or listed as being phased out should still be available for viewing within a segregated and un-issuable area, with brief statements about which medals to use instead.

The following list of medals will be retired:
*Eye of the Jedi
*RSIO Assistance Medal
*Golden Eyes
*Unit Commander's Commendation
*Fleet Commander's Medal of Excellence

===Rules for MP Combat Medals===
1. The multiplayer medals are not applicable for ongoing events such as ITOD's, ladders or weekly reoccurring competitions.

2. The Citations are awarded to the recipient based on their number of standard gaming hours within the competition and the outcome of the matches. Each group that supports a multiplayer game within an interclub/clan competition shall establish how many minutes each match is worth. In order to determine the standard gaming hours, take standard match length and multiply that by the number of matches played by the individual.

3. With the MP combat medals being based on standardize time of play, the Fleet Commander gives authority to the Medal Officer to make guidelines and have final approval for the number of minutes which a match equals. This should be based on the game in question, and the type of gameplay on that game. Fleet CO's will use the MO's guidelines to create a proposal for each game and gameplay type. The Medal Officer will either approve the proposal, or request more information or adjustments. No medals may be issued for a particular game and gameplay type until the Medal Officer approves the number of minutes applied to each match.

Possible Examples of Standard Match Lengths:
Empire at War 20 min
Battlefront Match 30 min
Battlefront II Conquest Match 30 min
Battlefront II 2-CTF Match 30 min
X-Wing Vs. Tie Fighter Match 10 min
X-Wing Alliance Match 10 min
Jedi Academy or Outcast 10 min

Example of application:
If a person plays 10 matches in a week long Battlefront II Conquest competition event, they are assumed to have played five hours and are eligible for the appropriate award medal. Win/loss will also be factored in as appropriate.

4. The Violet Cluster is a special medal awarded to members who suffer grievous losses in MP combat. It is awarded in addition to other medals that the member may qualify for. The suggested qualifications for a Violet Cluster awarding are at least 3 losses and a winning percentage no greater than 24% in a single event. Hence, 0-3 or 1-4 would qualify, but 1-3 would not.

===Operations Manual Changes===
"In the Rebel Squadrons, you may find yourself being recognized for your efforts with a medal or award. Medals and awards fall into two categories: Fleet and Club. Club and Fleet medals will show up in the listing of medals which is stored in your RS Roster Profile. Club medals also show up on your Uniform, which is accessible from your RS Roster Profile. For an example, see the profile of former Fleet Commander, ADM Rahj Tharen.

''"Any member of the Rebel Squadrons can nominate any member for a Club medal, except when otherwise specified by the medal description.''

"The Fleet Commander is responsible to evaluate each Club medal nomination, either directly or through an authorized executive staff member (such as the RS XO or the Medal Officer). This evaluation includes consulting the necessary parties and determining the merit of the nomination. If the nomination is warranted, the medal is awarded by the Fleet Commander or authorized executive staff member. If not warranted, the nomination is rejected. Some high medals may have restrictions as to who may award them. Also, as a body, the High Command may evaluate a nomination, determine its merit and award or reject it.

"Club awards in the Rebel Squadrons are divided into several categories, listed here in importance from least to greatest: Graduation, Service, Campaign, Combat, Unit Commendation, Honorary, and Commendation. Combat Medals are divided into two subcategories, with the latter being greater: ITOD Medals and Multiplayer Medals. Additionally, each medal is assigned to a level, which is used to establish its ranking within the category and its overall importance. Below, each category and medal is listed in category rank order. ''

"Fleet Command Staff take care of awarding Fleet medals, which are categorized separately from the Club medals."

In addition, the remainder of that Ops webpage should be updated per the medals in this proposal.

== Additional Considerations ==

===Implementation===
The current plan for implementation is to freeze the medals as they are, and discontinue the use of the medals which are being retired. The new medals will be added and the purposed structure will be the one from which members may be awarded.

Fleet medals will be separated off from the rest of medal into their own section which will be listed by fleet after the club medals listing.

===Uniforms===
New uniforms will be created along with new graphical representations of the medals. The uniforms will display ribbons for the medals, rather than the medals themselves. Along with this, we might also consider revisions of the rank and position badges as well. Additional trinkets, like squadron patches and the like, might be something to look into developing.

===Display Cases===
Display cases will be for the purpose of displaying the medals themselves. It will likely be cool looking and stuff like that. This was Licah's idea.

== History ==

The first medals were developed in the collaborative effort of [[Greedo 96]] and [[Super]] in 1997. These first medals formed the foundation of a new club wide system for rewarding the work of the RS membership. Some of the medals had no practical use at the time but were created for future use, such as the [[Medals#Multiplayer Combat|Violet Cluster]]. The evolution of the medal system continues to current times. Although most of the original medals are still in use, the whole medal system has vastly expanded and evolved well beyond the original set up as each successive generation improves upon the previous.

Your mission is vast and never complete. Such is the work of a contemporary historian.
* Go through every unit's website that you can find and link to their history page(s). '''Done!!!'''
* Find Dave, or Rahj, or Castor, or someone willing to talk your ear off about the old days and isn't doing anything else in the RS at the moment. Ask them to just write what they remember and don't worry about precision or details - you can adjust their writing and fill in details later.
* Use [http://www.archive.org/index.php archive.org] to get membership counts at various points in the RS' lifetime.
* The website banner needs an update, talk to [[TJ]].
* If you get done with all of this, use archive.org to find other things of historical interest until more projects are specified. There is a very large amount of room for the HO to grow in terms of what is on its site right now. The issue is probably not trying to document all RS history, but rather relevant RS history.

{{update}}
'''Liberation Fleet''' was originally known by the name '''Internet Fleet'''. As Internet Fleet, it was one of the first three fleets formed within the Rebel Squadrons. It was formed from Internet Wing, which was made up of the original non-AOL based squadrons that were centered around the PC version of [[X-Wing|X-Wing Flight Simulator]].

It was originally commanded by [[Mykra]] under the name Internet Fleet. [[Noble]] was given command of the fleet after Mykra's retirement. It was renamed Liberation Fleet soon after Noble's appointment.

Fcsuper: /* Organization */ ok

Welcome to the RS wiki!

Please use other articles' discussion pages; if you have a question about the RS or this wiki, email [mailto:io@rebelsquadrons.org io@rebelsquadrons.org].

== Organization ==
The RS wiki contains a wide variety of articles and attempts to accomplish many things. One result is that there is noticeable dissonance between [[IC]] and [[OOC]] articles when navigating the wiki.

To facilitate clearer organization, the following overarching categories are proposed:

* '''[[:Category:Universe]]''' - contains all in-character material, such as planets, ships, and so on;
* '''[[:Category:Rebel Squadrons]]''' (a subcategory of [[:Category:Universe]]) - contains material that reflects the ''current'' state of the RS, from both [[IC]] and [[OOC]] perspectives.
* '''[[:Category:OOC]]''' (a subcategory of [[:Category:Rebel Squadrons]]) - contains OOC material which has no real IC explanation and reflects the ''current'' state of the RS. (An example would be [[Beginner's Path]].) Such material should have an "OOC" heading to alert the reader entering OOC territory.
* '''[[:Category:Projects]]''' (a subcategory of [[:Category:OOC]]) - contains OOC material that reflects the ''future'' state of the RS, not yet officially introduced. Such material should have also have an "OOC" heading.

This organization does not solve the IC/OOC problems inherent in articles about RS units, characters, missions, and so on. For such articles, the following structure is proposed:

# A brief OOC introduction and summary of the article. (For instance, it is necessary to establish that [[ABG]] uses D6 roleplaying before describing the material thus derived.)
# The complete IC version of the article. (Items referred to by battle names (e.g. [[Battle of Blerthmore]], planets, GrS years, and so on.)
# The complete OOC version of the article. (Items referred to by mission names (e.g. VSG 1.01), RL years, RL discussions, and so on.)

An article that meets this example is [[Dave Trebonious-Astoris]].

::This almost means setting a left side brain and right side brain wiki. I do think this needs to be addressed. It may take a bit more than categories to pull of the desired effect. Many of the articles are interwoven between IC and OOC. How much of the metawiki code and we mess with at its core. Is there a way to add a new tab to each article? Like one tab for IC and one for OCC?

::We can also just do disamg pages for each and every topic, but that will be pretty labor intensive.

::The other thought I have is that whatever we do, it will be best if we can keep editing of the articles accessible to as many people as possible without being bogged down in code. â€” '''[[User:Fcsuper|fcsuper]]''' ([[User talk:Fcsuper|What?]], [[Special:Contributions/Fcsuper|Where!]]) ([http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Inclusionism Inclusionistic] [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Eventualism Eventualist] ) â€” 23:59, 19 January 2009 (EST)

::I think I have one possible solution that won't be too much of a burden on anyone. Articles that have both IC and OOC elements can be written briefly with just IC and OOC headings and short summaries under each. We can employ a hatnote (some sort of two or three cell table template) that will automatically generate links to /IC and /OOC pages of that article. Under each section page, the same table can be used to link back to the main article and the alternate page. On any articles that are strictly IC or strictly OOC, we can use a couple simple hatnotes just stating that fact. If the hatnote template is sophisticated enough, we can even automatically assign the correct category to each particular page and article (whether it is IC or OOC). â€” '''[[User:Fcsuper|fcsuper]]''' ([[User talk:Fcsuper|What?]], [[Special:Contributions/Fcsuper|Where!]]) ([http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Inclusionism Inclusionistic] [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Eventualism Eventualist] ) â€” 10:52, 21 January 2009 (EST)

: Hmm. I'd prefer to keep IC and OOC all in the same article; having only one side and requiring someone to click "IC" or "OOC" likely means we'll lose a lot of potential readers of the side which needs a click to access. I've found that people are surprisingly lazy about just one more click. I agree that code should be kept out of the way as much as possible.
: As to your suggestion of tabs, I've looked into the matter and it would be possible to add "IC" and "OOC" as tabs at the top (along with "discussion", "edit", and all the rest). I attempted just now to make a JavaScript version that wouldn't require loading another page (dynamic tabs), but that didn't work so well (the wiki didn't seem to allow JavaScript, which is understandable).
: I added an example above of an article format that matches my idea, amusingly enough [[Dave Trebonious-Astoris]]. Dave just mailed me to say: ''I like the idea in theory, but it sounds like a pain to fix all our stuff and force it into that mold. :P Much of it needs significant overhaul anyway, though, so I guess forcing us to go through and change all those categories will at least make us look at the out-of-date stuff and perhaps spend some time on updating it.''
: I think an overall vision I have of this change would be for users to assume they're reading in-character things, unless there's an OOC tag (a nice nifty banner?) displayed above the text. I think that would be enough to differentiate the material - not sure if we need to split topics into multiple articles, although hatnotes is a nifty idea.
: Thanks for your input! Hopefully others will join soon, too. -[[User:Licah Fox|Licah]] 12:31, 21 January 2009 (EST)

::Hatnotes are easy and fun. We can rip them from wikipedia and just change the wording and image. Speaking of images, we should rip the image template from wikipedia, too.

::Just as a comment about the split articles, I image them feeling disjointed. Where do headings like external links and references get placed? Do we have these as subheadings under the particular IC or OOC main heading, or combine them all at the end some how, like maybe with their own IC and OOC subheadings? â€” '''[[User:Fcsuper|fcsuper]]''' ([[User talk:Fcsuper|What?]], [[Special:Contributions/Fcsuper|Where!]]) ([http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Inclusionism Inclusionistic] [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Eventualism Eventualist] ) â€” 15:48, 21 January 2009 (EST)

::: Yeah, I've placed hatnotes in many places here, like [[Rebel Squadrons Fleet Commander]]. Does Dave's article feel disjointed to you? To me, only "Former positions" doesn't quite jive with everything else, since it's suddenly a list. I think References - although we don't exactly...have those on the RS wiki :P - could be intermixed without a problem, and External links could stay at the end. Articles tend not to have that many external links here, anyways. I think the reader would accept the semi-OOC-ness of references and links all at the end. If you like, we could find an example article from each category - a Person, a Planet, a Mission, and so on - and present it several different ways according to the suggestions here. -[[User:Licah Fox|Licah]] 16:24, 21 January 2009 (EST)

::: We can make hatnote templates, but yeah, that's cool. I can create templates for those. I'm thinking of bringing over simplified disamb templates just for the fun of it, even though we won't often have use for them here.

::: Dave's article doesn't seem all that much different that what we are already doing. I guess when I was thinking IC vs OOC, I was imaging more stark visual clues that the style of article is shifting at some point, so if someone was specifically looking for OOC, their eyes can just find the location scrolling through the article without reading every heading. This is what started me thinking about an automated hatnote template with links to other pages. If Dave's article is the more desirable course, then perhaps we can use standard heading for OOC section to make is easily identifiable from scrolling and from the table of contents; something like ''"Out Of Character"'' section, then broken into any necessary sub-headings?

A person is likely to be the most complex scenario, since it involves IC, OOC ''and'' RL. [[Spokes]] article would a fun one to play with.â€” '''[[User:Fcsuper|fcsuper]]''' ([[User talk:Fcsuper|What?]], [[Special:Contributions/Fcsuper|Where!]]) ([http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Inclusionism Inclusionistic] [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Eventualism Eventualist] ) â€” 22:57, 21 January 2009 (EST)

Hey, just confirming a detail: when you write 'formal military bases', and 'formally called Boogiewoogie', do you mean formally as in, erm . . . a stormtrooper transport's formal name being ''Delta''-class DX-9 transport, or do you mean "the ''Imperial''-class Star Destroyer was formerly known as the ''Imperator''-class Star Destroyer at the end of the Clone Wars".

Do you mean its official name, or what its name used to be? Because I've noted your usage seems to indicate 'formerly', but you've put formally a lot, so I just thought I'd check to confirm.

: Ah, right, forgot about that. [[Talk:Main Page]] should be accessible to all now AND I'll make you a sysop, since clearly you're experienced with wikis and your RS credentials are impeccable. Nice trick with your talk page redirect, btw, think I'll copy that! Cheers, [[User:Licah Fox|Licah]] 19:48, 19 January 2009 (EST)

: I got your sig to work as follows:
<nowiki>{{User:Fcsuper/signthis}} ~~~~</nowiki>
(see [[User:Licah Fox/sandbox]] and [[User talk:Licah Fox/sandbox]]). I guess blank the "Nickname" field of your preferences to get rid of double-"Super". ...or maybe you tried all this and it didn't work, but it worked for me. o.O *shrugs* -[[User:Licah Fox|Licah]] 12:38, 21 January 2009 (EST)

I'll play around with it soon.

Licah, BTW, what do you mean by double"super"? {{SUBST:â€” '''[[User:Fcsuper|fcsuper]]''' ([[User talk:Fcsuper|What?]], [[Special:Contributions/Fcsuper|Where!]]) ([http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Inclusionism Inclusionistic] [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Eventualism Eventualist] ) â€”}} 15:32, 21 January 2009 (EST)

Licah, I think I know what you mean now. I just want to be about to use the <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> without typing in the reference to the template each time. The barf code in the edit box is a small price to pay for a cool sig, I guess. I'm done messing around with it for now. :) â€” '''[[User:Fcsuper|fcsuper]]''' ([[User talk:Fcsuper|What?]], [[Special:Contributions/Fcsuper|Where!]]) ([http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Inclusionism Inclusionistic] [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Eventualism Eventualist] ) â€” 15:36, 21 January 2009 (EST)

Fcsuper: hmm

Should these lists be in alphabetical order? â€” '''[[User:Fcsuper|fcsuper]]''' ([[User talk:Fcsuper|What?]], [[Special:Contributions/Fcsuper|Where!]]) ([http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Inclusionism Inclusionistic] [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Eventualism Eventualist] ) â€” 09:27, 18 January 2009 (EST)
: That would be helpful. The current design allows for searching for any term using a space after it, and the category separation can be helpful for learning groups of terms, but alphabetical might be better overall. Ideally there should be two versions, but only one displayed at a time; maybe some Javascript-fu could make that happen. -[[User:Licah Fox|Licah]] 16:32, 18 January 2009 (EST)

::If we can use <nowiki>#if</nowiki> statements on this site, we can set display conditions within a comprehensive template. The only concern I have with this is making it simple to edit the overall list so that someone doesn't have to wade through a maze of metawiki code. â€” '''[[User:Fcsuper|fcsuper]]''' ([[User talk:Fcsuper|What?]], [[Special:Contributions/Fcsuper|Where!]]) ([http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Inclusionism Inclusionistic] [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Eventualism Eventualist] ) â€” 20:38, 18 January 2009 (EST)
