Archangel Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Once again, thanks to this community (and it's higher ups) for supporting my crazy fever dreams. Today, I got the formal go-ahead to further organize a Joint Op consisting of Ourselves and Joint Task Force 2. Specifics and details are sketchy, and I will update this thread as information develops, but right now I will give you the bare bones stuff: -It's about a month out -I'm shooting for a weekend, preferably a Saturday, as near to Noon US CST as possible -I'm doing my best to negotiate as few Mods as possible (but will be trying to get ACRE on) -Given the numbers, and specialties the other groups have to offer, we will be providing a supporting role (I'm thinking Air transport, CAS, UAV, and maybe a special forces group or something... I'm not sure yet), while JTF2 offers us an Armor and Infantry. So, What I need here right now, since we don't have an official date yet, is a show of who is interested in attending such an event, and what they'd like to be doing in the game. Lastly, I ask that all of us, interested in the Joint Op or not, be respectful of everyone else. I don't think I have to say it, we are all generally really cool dudes, but just to err on the side of caution, lets remember our good manners, folks.

Ninjaneer Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I'm in, I just need to know a few weeks in advance so I can request the day off since I normally work on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny_S Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Sounds awesome! If we at Ahoy would only be giving a supporting role, would that limit the number of Ahoy representatives somewhat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLLGT3 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 13th MEU has been around our servers and they seem like a good lot. I'm interested in seeing this happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archangel Posted September 24, 2013 Author Share Posted September 24, 2013 Excellent question, Danny! Basically it depends on a few factors, but it looks like we'll have room for about 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 This sounds awesome as long as it is done right! Going by our current game night turns out we could probably do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny_S Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Excellent question, Danny!Basically it depends on a few factors, but it looks like we'll have room for about 20. 20 sounds pretty good! I look forward to seeing the details of this Op. progress! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archangel Posted September 25, 2013 Author Share Posted September 25, 2013 Ok. Good news and bad news. Good news is we've hashed stuff out, and should have an exact time and date by this Thursday. Bad news is there's only room for 10 of us. Billet for Ahoy to fill: 2 UAV Pilots 1 pilot 1 co-pilot/rifleman 1 medic 1 repair specialist 1 squad leader 1 marksman 1 riflemen 1 explosives specialist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paraclete Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Me first, since I' up in the middle of the ferecking night! Wait 10 slots? You need to re-negotiate? Whose server is hosting? Tell em to freak off......whose servers are top billet? UAV Pilot? Even Raz could handle that! Son, you and I need a weekend in Vegas to learn ya! You are not a poker player are ya?

Josh Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Have to agree to be honest! Seems a bit hash we're only getting an offering of 10 slots for our community. Of which doesn't even seem to be a squad. Surely we'd want to represent somewhat as AW-R which would mean us being squaded up together?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny_S Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 10 does seem a bit tight considering you're helping to organise it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingo Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Just a quick question who are the 13th m.e.u I've heard and seen of the 15th m.e.u as Jester814 post videos on YT with them, but have never heard of the 13th before now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjaneer Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I'll fill whatever role you guys need, but would prefer to be an Explosive/Repair Specialist. I am a Ninjaneer afterall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDCCLXXVI Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Hey Archangel Stallion 6-4 here. I'll put my hand up for a slot, don't really care which one. Co-pilot or Repair specialist if I had a choice. If guys with more AW cred fill the slots, I'll put my hand down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archangel Posted September 25, 2013 Author Share Posted September 25, 2013 Okay, so first thing, I'd like to say I'm really sorry that this mission will only afford us 10 spots. Its the result of a couple of factors, as I said earlier, like ArmA only reasonably supporting about 60 players, as well as the fact that, despite being the organizing force behind this endeavor, we here at Ahoy are the smallest of the three groups (by far). Claims of servers supporting 100+ players are suspect, and would probably be a "set 50 dudes here, 50 dudes there and let them shoot each other" scenario. Scripts, AI, and map size mean were gonna shoot for 60 peeps total.let's talk about the other Group:JTF2 is a much larger group, numbering in the 300's. They have dedicated Air combat elements, as well as an armored division. They will be providing us with a detachment of armor manned by 15 of their folks. They do not run ACRE, but are looking into it, so we're gonna try to have them implement it for the op.Ahoy will be running a small team, somewhat independent of the main platoon, for a number of reasons, and will consist of a SF team and 2 UAV CAS operators.There will be 1 head Honcho. If you want the consideration, let me know. The mission commander will be responsible for all 3 groups and all that jazz, so more power to you if you want to try and take the role, but know that there'll probably be others in the other two groups who want the position, so it'll probs be a rock paper scissor situation.(And if you want the CAS UAV operator slot, you need to be experienced using the Laser Guided Bombs and communicating with ground units)hmm.... I wonder if I'm missing anything.Ask away, questions, comments and concerns here and now all help me spot potential problems sooner than later, so I appreciate the responses.

Ninjaneer Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Did we decide upon a date yet? I still need to put in a PTO request to make sure I can get the day off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archangel Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 How does Saturday, October 19th sound? 2 time options: 11:00 US CST or 22:30 US CST? vote away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razgriz33 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 UAV CAS operator / pilot for me please! Yeah i understand we only get 10 slots and that sucks but guys, we do have to give way to the bigger group, it only makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoax Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 11:00 US CST would be easier for us Euros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjaneer Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Oct. 19 works for me, I will make sure I can take the day off. Any time on that day will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
