Squad Leader Archive

Apologies to the other Vets who I didn't name specifically...I don't discount you!!!!

I feal about that thread the same way Vemnox felt about his last SotP report. The way I see it, that thread is for the non-Sl community, as the Devs already have our opinions.

But it is important. Its a central post TH can point the relevant Devs too so go ahead and post your ideas there.A tip: They hate links. Copy and paste the text if you must.No rush, you have until May 3rd (I believe) and something posted may 2nd has as much merit as something posted today.

Ok, posted. I used some links, but I also did a lot of copy-pasting. I doubt anyone but Devs (hopefully them) will read that behemoth post.

Had to split the mofo in two...

Hey Gang,

Our moment is finally here and our In Concept post is being filled by players who aren't even Squad Leaders!!

DiLune, Irott, Deplomatic, Yeraze, NarCranor... I've seen a couple of you post, but the rest of you need to get in there. You are the Veterans and you had the best ideas over the past half year. (I know I misspelled names, but you know who you are!)

I dont' have problems with new SLs posting there, you opinion is very valuable, but for goodness sakes who are these other clowns?

GET IN THERE!!!

I'm not an SL,but like I said in the Concept thread, Revamps aren't just for the Veterans or even just for current SLs. They're also for people who might want to play the profession if it were different, and for people who might be playing with and against those people.

Let's say, hypothetically,that all Iever wanted to do inthis gamewas to command a whole platoon of NPCs, and the only reason I'm not playing the profession is that this isn't possible. Does my opinion not count? What if, hypothetically speaking,all the current SL vets were proposing that any group being led by an SL would be totally impervious to CM attacks?Don't you think that CMs' opinions should be heard, even if they have absolutely no interestbeing anSL?

I'm not trying to diminish your tenure or your dedication to theSL professionor anything, but we all play this game, and everyone's opinion counts, not just yours.

Ok, fair point. I certainly don't think anyones opinion should not be counted. I was trying to point out that there seemed to be an abundance of non-SLs posting in the thread. While opinions are valued, the SL community has spent the past nine months coming up with ideas and now is finally our chance to post them. Yet it initially appears that many of the "vets" are not posting and thus some ideas that were dismissed by the majority months ago are ending up there, while other ideas that were shear brilliance have not made it there.

This was a rally cry to those of us who have been waiting for so long and now may be so beaten and disenchanted that they need a fire lit under their butts to get out there and post theirideas that were so inspiring a few months ago.

I'm also waiting till I have enought time to sit down and go through all the ideas before I put up my post. I think a free weekend will be enough time... Probably next weekend... And most of my ideas are already in there anyway...

I posted my thoughts on that thead a few days ago. Basically just added a lot of new skills such as the On your feet ability I thought up, the radio/comlink idea which would require another profession to make (sls should not be able to craft them, let our artisans or possibly DEs have some more lovin).

Also added what role we should play in the GCW, having all the professions unique abilities only being able to be unlocked when under the command of an SL. That should be our unique ability, I think that would be awesome since PC would seek us out in the war for that reason.

I didn't decide to post about passive abilities since I think posts such as DiLune, Panzer and a few others covered that and I totally stand by their ideas.
