    TGU: SL Basic, this Sunday

    Tactical Gamer University presents: the Battlefield 2142 Conquest Mode Squad Leader Basic class. This is not the sign-up thread.

    Class Details
    Module: BF2142 Squad Leader Basic
    Format: TS and ingame instruction followed by drills.
    Instructor: |TG-3rd| Zhohar
    Date: Saturday, March 14th, 2008
    Time: 1PM PST, 4PM EST
    Buffer: Show up 15 minutes before the class, so we can sort out VOIP and unlocks.
    Duration: 1.5-2 hours for instruction
    Location: TG Second Server
    Password: password and server IP to be disclosed in TS channel.
    Maximum number of students: 5
    Ribbon Earned:

    Sign-ups
    1. Signup thread: TGU thread.
    2. SIgnups end Saturday, 1PM PST.

    Miscellaneous Notes
    1. Please don't sign up if you are an experienced SL. We reserve the right to refuse your sign-up on the basis of experience. The aim here is to keep the class size small and managable so that meaningful discussion can occur.

    2. The class will be a bit less formal than in the past. There will be a lot more focus on what YOU don't understand, as opposed to what I think you ought to know.

    3. It is possible to fail this class.
    Chief criteria for judgment are:
    - quality and quantity of participation (ie. are you asking smart questions and are you giving meaningful comments regarding what's being discussed)
    - how well you demonstrate your squad organization skills during the drills at the end
    - how confident you are when you address the squad. This is a natural limitation for some people, but it's important to, at least, try to appear confident as I sincerely believe this is a very key attribute of a good squad leader.

    We're not aiming to be drill sargeants about this and fail people. What we are interested in is more involvement from the participants and more of a discussion than a lecture. Don't sign up if you are not interested in learning and participating. If you sit there quietly for 1.5 hours, you most likely will fail the class.
    Fight!

    Great idea and hopefully it will encourage more leadership in general. Will get Kudos when I can give them, thanks for stepping up Zhohar!

    Wasn't the ribbon replaced with the little pin? Just saying.

    Anyways, great to see TGU active and it won't fail to be a great class.

    If it is Sunday, sign me up but then again it seems that maximum has been reached. I would like to make it Saturday but one of the muppets is having their big boy 5 year old birthday party that day

    I'd really like to attend, but the girlfriend gets off work at 1:30 and she'd be quite peeved if I ditched her for some online gaming.

    if it's hanging on me, i would stick back. i'll join the army in a few weeks so i couldn't play for 2 moth. out of this point you're supporting member, so you're preferred.

    so just only sign me up if there is really a slot for me and nobody have to sit out because of me.

    Yes it was...


    And this is a brilliant class. If you haven't done this, DO IT!! In fact 1 of my favorite quotes by Zhohar was during this course, although it's not safe to repeat..

    It's on Saturday. Sorry for the confusing -- if any admins want to change the thread title, feel free.

    All the details and the sign-up thread itself list it as Saturday.
    Fight!

    Zho, how do you define "experienced"? If I've tried SL'ing a couple of times (but still suck at it), does that count too?
