Squad Leader Archive

When i first became a SL, we used to hunt on Endor and bring our dancer guildee along. Well she was very happy that she could run up hills with ease.

Also I'm one of the first SLs on our server that pvped full time. Now months later you will always see SLs lead the good pvp groups because I helped open ignorant eyes that SLs are a key factor in pvp, even though it is currently limited.

I was also nominated for SL of the year on Kauri in 2003, I lost though .

Thats great to hear.

Does anyone else have any Proud Squad Leader moments they would like to share?

One of my proudest. Well this isn't anything like the first one but.

Being able to manage a group of 20 stranges who I don't even know and they follow me because they had serve with me in PVP or when I was a SL doing Rancor missions and we worked perfectly in the DWB.

First time:
I joined a hunting party and became group leader. The group was quite good already although nobody knew each other bevor. Just a little tweak and guidance from me, we were buffed and unbuffed together and we hitting spawns and lairs in notime.
After two hours hunting, yepp it was a BIG group, Zib asked me join his guild because of my good "leading the group". It was an awesome party and I was very proud, since all I did ingame technically was: rally and shoot with my DH 17 carbine and telling ppl to watch out, stick to gether and all the other things I just copied from the "do you talk like a squad leader" post....

Second time:
I had my Master Squad Leader Tag ( how do I long for those days again, /sigh, ah Im almost Master Carb, then I can redistribute my BH and MM skills to Master Squad Leader again) and as usually just joined a hunting group and /tell'ed ailoovi to join, with who i was hunting already two or three times bevor.
We were about almost two hours hunting, got teamwork working quite fast, usually after the first two lairs, somewhere in between ailoovi said: "Liong Kicks Ass !"
And i was very very proud of that, since I had not aquired quite a good fighting skills then and those were definitly not meant. In addition it was th first time ever someone said that to about my char!
I joined on that day Rebels Red Circle and had a lot of fun there.

and this is an ongoing story...
I spend a lot of time in spatial and groupchat to coordinate the group and "roleplay" the hunting out, spamming just funny things or commands. I give away a lot of brandy to newer players who overuser specials and heal as good as I can, to keep everybody alive.
And in most cases, those end with something like this:
"Yeah this was a good hunt." - "This time not everyone is running around like an idiot." - "Tell me when you hunt again...."
That approves me every time that I have taken the right profession....

edit: for spelling

At the beginning of JTL I ran into a fellow MSL looking over the specs of his ship. We started to talk and the conversation turned into a three hour venture as we talked about formations and strategies up in space. We were both so wrapped up in the Squad Leader mentality of talking strategy and swapping stories that we didn't notice the other pilots crowding around us and listening to what we had to say. Well, I can tell you that it was pretty embarassing, but we both knew that we wouldn't have talked to each other if we weren't SLs
