The regiment is undergoing massive reforms at the moment. We have released the new teamspeak policy today. Our "open channel" policy has been reenstated along with the following rules.
1. Our Code of Conduct applies to teamspeak as well. The form of gameplay being used will carry over to teamspeak. If we are in "training" mode, excess chatter and off-topic discussion will not be allowed.
2. In adherence to common courtesy and the professional, mature community which we intend to uphold, members will uphold a respectful attitude at all times, limit the use of profanity, and refrain from obscene topics.
3. Teamspeak is reserved for Mount&Musket related discussion. It is alright to be in the channel and not be in-game. It is even alright to discuss non-game related topics as well, but this channel is not to be used for any games other than Mount&Musket unless previously cleared with the Hauptmann.
4. The 1st EPI teamspeak channel is reserved for regimental members only. Only in special cases that have been cleared with the Hauptmann, will non-1st Members be allowed in our channel.
If you have any problems on teamspeak with other members of the 1st, or non-members in our channel, inform an officer and they will deal with it.
Also, there is a new system of "spot reports" which will be issued by Sergeants and officers. These can be positive or negative reports and will go on your permanent record. Spot Reports will be issued to soldiers who either show exemplary performance, professionalism, leadership, and/or knowledge. They will also be issued to players who are having repeat dicipline problems or are involved in a serious issue. Spot reports will be used to establish a pattern of behavior and will give us a better picture of your overall behavior. Negative spot reports may prevent you from being promoted, cause you to be demoted, or in rare cases get you put on probation or dropped from the roster. Positive spot reports will help you to be promoted.
Everyone should come to training on Saturday because we will be releasing a lot of new information, introducing our reforms, and getting you all up to speed on how things will be run. If you miss it, make sure you approach us on TS or Steam to get brought up to speed. We hope that these reforms will help the regiment to grow and increase attendence from our members. Hope to see you all on Saturday and Sunday.
