Great read, sadly I just came upon this today - deff agree withe the "Don't be a dick" although I believe the chatterbox'es are up there with them.

All I remmber hearing NemesisOrion yelling at us was "Shut up on TS or I will kick you from squad!!" But of course that thread was imminent for just about any incorrect action

It's been nearly 3 months since posting so i figure a quarterly bump is not a terrible thing. Thanks to those who have already seen and commented on it.

As someone with not much past experience leading bigger online squads and as someone who probably has to lead em with PS2 coming up, this thread wasnt much of use sadly.

I was really excited to read it and thinking it'll help me get started, but I'm not totally sure where the actual content was, I guess somewhere flooded between all the humorous remarks (that were way too many to actually be fun anymore).

But there were a handful of good thing for me to read there too

well if you were looking for the real Planetside Strategy thingy then here's my 50 page piece on running (some would say ruining) and maintaining squads in the first game (no really,50 pages with 100 images including base diagrams, air formations, tower takedown technique). That SONY herself emailed out in their newsletter to everyone that played the game back in 05 (not that anyone actually read it, lol)

Warrior Nation Sentinel Planetside Primer

The cracked piece is simply for fun (although I think the teamspeak part should be required reading for my guys) as I already covered the hell out of the serious part.

Link doesnt seem to work.

Edit: NVM, was my internet acting up

Sounds like my experience leading pug squads.

My favorite line to use on the dick:

I'm sorry, did the end of my sentence interrupt the beginning of yours?

Glad you bumped it. Very entertaining.

PS2 squad leading is easy right now. Look at map, find out what base is going to be captured next. Instruct your squad to get quads or ESF and zerg as fast as possible towards that base. When the base is captured, rinse & repeat.

It's very effective because everyone now knows that it's the easiest way to get XP and you will experience very little opposition from your squad members.

Good article. I enjoyed it. If you really want it to be seen, you need to spread it elsewhere, as well.

Well done and thanks for the laughs.
