Strategy Meeting
Why STRATEGY MEETING?
The most important thing is that it bring flavor to the mission.
I still remember the day when i first start as XO when there are no SO, CO, CMO, i was alone frail like a baby in the midst of chaos and the only one who support me back then was the CE which join in very late in the game. But that make me thinking there are no guidline for command center and obiviously most of the command was on the whim or meta knowledge, so here i am want to address that with this thing call STRATEGY MEETING.
As you can see when a round start you mostly see CO and sadly green XO thinking all by himself on that fancy command chair without talking to his trusted veteran people around him. Now what make XO such a great role is that you can be a very charismatic leader and any charming person need to be an extrovert that social with his subordinate (not mandatory but a nice touch). And here you see him all by himself that not good.
So to address this issue and potentialy help newbie XO learning and possibly get more attach to the role, i introduce to you STRATEGY MEETING.
What is STRATEGY MEETING?
STRATEGY MEETING is an activity we do at round start in CIC to let people shoutout their opinion on what to take priority in the mission, imagine it as your first day dating you don’t want to miss it. And everyone who have access to CIC can give their opinion.
How to STRATEGY MEETING?
There are 3 phase of STRATEGY MEETING:
- Discuss Primary Objective
- XO express that we need to rescue survivor and eliminate all threat ( since it distress signal most game so he will mostly say this)
- The need to restore power generator and it location
- Which LZ to drop?
- Dicuss Secondary Objective (This will take most time and mostly self interest)
- Command staff will want to rush admin or whatever CIC like down there to get more information about what happen
- CMO will want marine to rush research or medical center to get what important research down there cause they worry it might be destroy if going too late
- CE will want more mech cause it impossible to make one
- CL will want anything valuable down there for future funding like diamon for example
- Ofcourse there will some with tactical view and say that there a cave over there which look suspicious ( RP to your heart content but the location is important)
- Discuss Optional Objective only on announce not on squad objective ( Most RP happen here)
- You say that one of your relative is down there and start descript them (the character dosen’t need to be exist and dont tell name just feature of the person like hair color for example) dead or alive bring them back
- CL might talk about how good the cigar produce here and will pay to whoever find them
- CE want a plushy HA
- CMO want a personal note at a desk around the dorm
After discussing XO will give the final answer, yes no vote we give idea so the XO can pick one this will improve XO character.
XO will then tell SO of each squad what the primary objective of each squad are (optional)
XO will pick which location need to priority to start the search in Secondary Objective dicuss. And assign it to each active squad except Whichever squad stay at FOB.
XO will consider the optional objective which he can reject all and not announce any. The optional objective can only be announce and will not be set as second objective for squad.
After STRATEGY MEETING?
XO will then announce 4 mandatory Primary Objective to marine which is: Build FOB, Restore Power, Build OutPost ( depend where the Secondary Objective the Outpost will be in middle of LZ and that location), Rescue Survivor and eliminate all threat.
And while marine being drop SO will then remind the squad their objective and can assign them already approve optional objective.
