Wartime Operations in EVE University: Difference between revisions

Line 87:

Don't worry if you went out and lost your ship, or if leading, wiped your fleet. This is okay. Learn from it and have fun. Flaming or raging at fleet members or FCs for mistakes will not be tolerated. Failure to repeatedly follow an FC or their delegate's commands will also not be tolerated. This is why it's so important that you have prepared yourself as per the above. This is the Uni and we want to exercise patience with everyone.

== Communications ==

War can be very exciting and many members and others will have questions and other curiosity about war. It's important that you keep your communications appropriate and be mindful of whom you may be talking to.

=== .E-UNI Channels and Mumble ===

All ''official'' Uni channels are password protected. Passwords only keep out the lazy and uninformed. It is widely known that our passwords are often given out both inadvertently and deliberately. It is very easy for a determined enemy to obtain this information and/or get an alt into the Uni. You should assume that alts are planted in the Uni and guide your communications accordingly. Both Ivy members and alumni have a right to the current password. Never provide anyone the password but rather give them this forum link [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=23156|Channel Password]. If they have access then they can get the password. Passwords are also provided in the NeoCom > Corporations > Alliance > Bulletins in game.

It can be common to see war targets (alumni) or even known alts in channels such as Chat.E-UNI. They can get a lot of information on what's being said in these channels. It's perfectly fine to have respectful and fun conversations with them. Just avoid war specific chat. You will also find them in our Mumble channels. Again, this is perfectly fine. EVE University is a very open community so just keep that in mind.

If you find a war target or war target alt acting inappropriately in a channel or on Mumble contact someone in Management so that they can take appropriate steps.

=== .ILN Channels and Mumble ===

The majority of our .ILN channels are set for Ivy members only and thus are not password protected. These channels are more ideal for you to ask questions and such about a war or appropriate questions about operations. Mess.ILN is a PvP oriented chat channel and sometimes fleet formation will be directed into here to keep Alliance clear. Command.ILN is also another channel where fleet formation can occur.

Mumble ILN fleet rooms. Please be mindful that you're not sitting in a fleet channel when you shouldn't be. If you are not part of a given fleet please get permission from the FC if you want to listen in. Please note that this will be rarely granted. The fleet rooms are set that they will only allow Ivy members into them. On demand channels can be created and given a password if needed.

Please note that in fleets often what will happen is that "Combat Comms" may become the norm. What this means is that you can expect swearing on occasion with the excitement of combat. Aside from this occasional swearing please be respectful of the [[EVE University Community Standards]]. If a fleet Mumble channel does not get a non-ECS tag please don't freak out if there is the occasional swear.

* LiveIntel.ILN is a specific channel with a separate password. The purpose of this channel is for members, alumni, and friendly alts to provide specific intelligence on war targets. Keep in mind that the information provided is only as good as the moment before the person posts a report. '''DO NOT''' ask questions or request intel in here, and don't provide running commentary, killmails, etc. in the channel. Avoid fragmentary intel as this will not be helpful in a lot of cases. Keep in mind that people keep this channel toggled to blink so unnecessary chat is very frustrating. This channel is not the be all and end all of what war targets are up to. It is only a tool try and be of help as part of the larger picture and practices of surviving war.

=== Reporting Intel ===

Under no circumstances should the location of any Uni Fleet or Wartarget be reported in any of the standard Uni channels (this includes Alliance and Corp). The enemy often sneak an alt in as a new member during wartime to monitor these channels.

All intel should be reported to your Fleet Commander. If you do not have a Fleet Commander (due to not being in a fleet), check your Alliance mail for alternatives.

The only channel that should be considered "secure" during wartime is the Fleet channel for the fleet you are currently in.

Intel may be reported in the LiveIntel.ILN chat channel. The password for this can be found under [[NeoCom|NeoCom]] > Corporation > Alliance > bulletins

While we appreciate that people may wish to help out by reporting Intel, any valuable tactical information reported in Alliance or Corp channels (or any other method that reaches the entire uni membership) will most likely have the following effects:

* Nobody will wish to act on said intel, as it is no longer of value once it has been widely disseminated across the uni membership.

* Any existing operations relying on the enemy not knowing that we are aware of this intel will likely have to be cancelled.

With a membership as large and open as ours, it is usually safe to assume that the enemy does have at least one alt or friend among us. Keeping intel "need to know" reduces the chance of leaks.
