I tried using it, but no one actually cares even when I said it over comms. Since CIC just briefs SL and by the time their done briefing SL, its already 00:20 or 00:25

because contrary to popular belief 20 minutes for prep is too fucking short
how are people taking 15 minutes to get their gear on? every time i do a briefing earlier than 00:20 SL’s are late, or arrive just on time not to mention the times when they genuinely go I DOTN CARE IM IN REQ LINE WAH WAH

Love it when SL’s power nap for give minutes so they aren’t ready for brief.
Oh and then they complain that you set briefing two minutes earlier then usual so somehow it’s your fault that they didn’t get ready when they had 11 minutes to.

This is the main problem. If a XO doesn’t have marines deploying at the 20/21 minute mark, tons of people get pissed off, survivors banshee scream and xenos ask “where tall?” Personally I have no issue getting geared up by the 15 minute mark but you’re rushing non-stop, have more or less 2 seconds to roleplay and it just sucks the soul out of everything.
Almost every single briefing has a SL running late but guess what the briefing cant start until all SL are ready per the SOP. If a XO starts the brief with even one Bravo SL not there, admin can freely yell at the them and drop a fat note saying how horrible a human being they are.
However this isn’t going to change because it would require re-working things and devs wanna add stuff in, not edit stuff around like xeno evolution times and dropship refuelling timer.
The individual squad briefing rooms are a great idea but with the current script, completely useless.

I can’t even get most of my squad to report in during a headcount AFTER they all get geared, they won’t sit in the main briefing, they won’t eat breakfast, they won’t report in, sometimes i have to ask my SO where some of the less attentive members are so i can physically drag their ass to wherever they need to be.
If SL must obey command, we should add a very soft rule to obey SL if you have nothing better to be doing, even if you aren’t super comfortable RP’ing, a basic “PFC here” at roll call would suffice.

The fact of the matter is, 15 minutes is barely enough time to get prepped. It’s doable but it leaves very little time to do anything else, god forbid req is not being manned by a crack-addict who has 100 hours of playtime.

i mean COs need to give out more medals to support staff over all, but yes the addicts do really need them medals play req is a thankless roll.
Why are we necro’ing this thread. It sucks bad. The less people you see the less chances of you running into someone who is RP’ing. We need our prep less isolated, not more isolated.
This just means people who want to RP will rush out of their squad preps to any communal area as fast as they can, leaving the squad prep even more empty

Any CO that doesn’t ONLY gives medals to his XO, ASO and SOs is a soulless LRP failure
