* Pay attention. It's a very boring job but it has to be done. If you find yourself losing focus, just say so and remove yourself. No harm, no foul. It's just that we'll count on you looking at local. | * Pay attention. It's a very boring job but it has to be done. If you find yourself losing focus, just say so and remove yourself.

** A useful technique for watching local is to shift + click to highlight all names currently in local. New arrivals to the system will appear a different color, making it easier to keep track, especially in busy systems. | |||
** In the settings buttons immediately under the "local" chat window title, "show compact member list" can be clicked to allow more names to be seen at once. Again, this is most useful for busy systems. | |||
* If you don't have a cloak, sit docked in a station with the local window up, that'll be sufficient. Alternatively sit at a safespot in a cheap shuttle or a rookie ship. | * If you don't have a cloak, sit docked in a station with the local window up, that'll be sufficient.

* With a cloak you can sit on grid, in view of the gate you're picketing, to combine both local and a visual on the enemy capsuleer or fleet. That way you could not only announce to the fleet that a war target is coming, but also what ship he's flying. | * With a cloak you can sit on grid, in view of the gate you're picketing, to combine both local and a visual on the enemy capsuleer or fleet.
