First of all i wanna say to all our members an Merry Christmas and an happy Newyear.

I announced in november that we had 2 new aspirants. Falco did not forfill his trials, he didn't even started them so i need to reject him
as an aspirant.

Don't forget, Falco, you are still welcome to join our TS server.

TOP

Now that my 2 shops are settled, I found some more time to learn using FP. I am still a student but I succeeded to change some things on our site.

I managed to get some wall of fame papers free, so that we now have space for a few new members. I will figure out how to make complete new sites for members

But like I told you before, I am still in the learning process.

You will notice that our home page has changed. We can assume that from this moment we are officially the naval section of NORAD.

Meeting Minutes: Taken by Qu-T and Qu-U

 1:   Teamspeak:

  ---- Banning rights (Server Admin. Status) for all members.....Passed
  ---- Abuse of banning rights in teamspeak is to be revised at next meeting

2:   Assigning a Commodore:

   ----- Discussion of a commander in a game is to be experimented with and revised at next meeting.

3:   Realism settings for STAT games:

----- To be revisited once an official scoring system is in place.
---- This topic was a little unclear as to the final outcome, but one idea was each player must ensure he has made a kill in order for other players to gain a share of the overall tonnage in that game. (Leaving a ship crippled is not a kill). Another idea for scoring was that a player would get full tonnage for playing in realistic mode or hard setting, or half tonnage for playing in easy settings.

4:  The Forum:

 ----- Bernd and Steve to have forum admin. duties.

5: Modded or dual install games:

  ------ Dual install or modded games are not to be used for Qu-league games

 
6: G.M.T.:

 
   -----will not be used. (For scheduling games and meetings we will now use “Steven Time”)

 
7: – A proper schedule should be made for specific game nights. Any thoughts?

---Wednesday SH3 / Friday SH2, DC / Saturday SH3 (this is not to say that a “stat game” can only be played on these nights. SEND IN YOUR SCORES!!!) SH3 scoring system in construction.

--Friday night was allocated sh2 game night, with a view to changing this to every 2 week/3/4 dependent on interest. To be revised at next meeting.

8: Who would participate in a joint campaign? Who might help set one up?

------ There is talk of a joint campaign made possible through the forum for contactas more info emerges. Deferred until next meeting. updates, although little is known on this subject at this stage. Members will update as more info emerges. Deferred until next meeting.

As we all know the league is becoming bigger. The time for using the rules has become an obligation.

The XO’s had an internal meeting and decided to use finally this rule “The date of the last mission you did will be indicated on the wall. A member who didn't play one mission for the past 3 months will loose all rights (medals, rank, tonnage ...) as a member. He will have to restart as an aspirant, doing the 6 trial-missions all over.”

By using this rule we need to revoke Qu-Z, Qu-B, Qu-H, Qu-7, Qu-L membership.

TOP

Yes, time is going by. I am sure nobody noticed it. We have a celebration here!

Our site has been running now for 2 yrs. I am proud to have it updated all the time and this means that

our small league is still in the running. Certainly that we may remember that this all started has a joke.

I would like to thank all the people who are still members of this league. It is because of you all that this site has become

a statement in the world of online naval gaming!!!!

TOP

Well, we discussed it, we have several meanings but I guess we are about to merge with our NORAD friends.
 

NORAD wanted to play other games and that is why they wanted to expend. Naval, Air, Land section was born. Each division has a leader, and because I am an NORAD member and they knew I had already a complete clan behind me, they ask to me to be responsible for the naval section of NORAD.

Nothing is changing for QU-members. We keep our rules, habits, and fun. Qu-members are free to join NORAD games. We only need to use a NORAD call sign in front of our QU-name. So to all my members, if you want to change your name, well it is the moment to do it. Please let me know which name you are going to use, so that I can change the wall of fame when I am able to do.

Naturally, I need to update our site, and I have a lot of props with it since 6 months ago. But we are working on it.

I will explain in shorts words the problems. Like we all know, qu-7 (luc) made this site and I don’t know haw to make new member pages. It is possible that it has something to do with the 2 version of front page. (See previous news)

TOP

I think everyone saw that there were some probs with our site. It all started when my pc was broken. I needed to replace a new motherboard and a complete reinstall of XP and Office. When I updated the whole site and wanted to publish it, the whole site got fucked up.
Yes, only the homepage was there, rest was gone.

A few days past by and finally I solved the problem. Man, what was I glad.
I know there are still some faults in the site, but I am trying to solve them too. I know for sure that the wall of fame is working fine.
The problems are on the medailsite. Not all urned medals are showing for each member, but the last medal you see below the smaller medals is you last urned one. If you are not sure, you can always look at your last letter.

We spoke during our last meeting to relieve a new qu-forum. Well fellas its there.

We all tanks Hopieee for the time we may charred the ADV forum. It was really a great help for our league.
We certainly learned how important the use can be of a forum. Thanks hopieeeee.

I know I am God, but for making this forum I needed some help. I met some new friends and they were so kindly to help me. Strud, from the NORAD clan helped me with skinning of the forum. Thanks NORAD_STRUDERS, you were very kind.

An Email will be sent to all members how to log in. All I can say is, enjoy it guys !!!

Let us all welcome him witha great aplaus.

We may all welcome a new aspirant, named XSWARM. He had tried to join before, but he wasn’t able to finish his trials.

Now I am sure he will finish them. So if you see XSWARM (or john) play with him so that we will have a superior destroyer commander.

Welcome on board John.

As we already know, our clan, the marvellous Qu-league is still growing.

Now we may all welcome a new aspirant named “Bret48”.
Play with him, so he can do his 6 trials and that we may welcome him soon as a full member.

Welcome on board aspirant Bret.

Aspirant 'LTZ_Vandulm' became Qu-Q 26.09.05

The league is growing. Here is the proof; during our summer stop a new aspirant was announced. LTZ_Vandulm succeeded his trials and became our newest member in the league. His name became QU_Q.

Congratulations Qu-q, and welcome on board.  The whole clan hope to see you soon in the next battle.

Summery report on the meeting 13.03.05 13.03.05

Agenda items of Qu-8*, Fleet-Commander of the Qu-League:

1.       When DD’s are sinking their own convoy ships, the tonnage should go to the sub’s total sunk tonnage.

·        General voting result: Yes.

·        This rule will be applied only on vessels with playing members. So if a destroyer hits a convoy ship, that tonnage will not be added on top of the subs total tonnage.

2.     About the new PM-patches, should we use and install them?

·        General voting result: No.

·        We advice not to install or use them. For the moment those patches are in a test stadium. Let’s wait a wile, until we know there are no more problems. We will announce when to install and use them. Every member will receive an Email with the advice to wait to install the new patches.

3.     About the training missions for new members. Are we going to give them the appointment when a training mission will take place?

·        General voting result: Yes.

·        In staid of pointing out a member to be on ready to play a training mission, each new member will receive by mail the opportunity let us know if they want trainings sessions or not. If they want them, the executive members will arrange a training session for the new member.

Agenda items of Qu-7*, 2^nd Commander of the Qu-League:

1.      Should we reward a sub who survives the mission more then a sub who doesn’t?

·        General voting result: Yes.

·        Sam came up with an Idea, and I came up with the proposition how to integrate that idea.
From this moment on a survived sub will be rewarded for his effort. That way it would be an extra motivation to survive the mission.
We will give an even part of the tonnage to the sub who survived a mission.
         Example: 3 subs, having earned 120.000 tons, all survived:
                           each sub gets 40.000 tons.
If a sub did not survive, he will get half of his part.
         Example: 3 subs, having earned 120.000 tons, 2 survived, 1
                           dead: the 2 survived subs are getting 40.000
                           tons each; the dead one will get 20.000 tons.
                           Why does he still get 20.000 tons? Because he
                           was able to keep the dd's busy, why the other
                           subs could do their attack.

2.      Should we try to become a big League?

·        General voting result: No.

·        Let’s keep it small, pleasant and cosy. That’s why someone who wants to become a member has to do 6 pre-trial and 6 trials, before getting there. Also, that’s why we made the rule that if you don’t play for 2 or 3 months you will be kecked out of the league.

Agenda items of Qu-U*, Tactical Commander of the Qu-League:

1.       Should we, the Qu-League, not try to have the same rules as the ADV-clan?

·        General voting result: No.

·        That we still have to discus with Hopie

2.  The ADV-clan is working with a non realistic reload. Couldn’t we use that also?

·        General voting result: Yes.

·        Working with a non realistic reload will improve the aiming ability of our subs. We know that we are training to do clan battles, and at that moment we will be forced to use realistic reload. So thereby we dissident to count have the earned tonnage when we play non-realistic, and the full tonnage for a realistic game. At the beginning of each game there will be decedent if we are going to play realistic or not.
Some examples:
         Realistic reload, 3 subs, 1 dead, 2 survive, total tonnage   120.000 tons:
                           The 2 survived subs are getting 40.000 (1/1)
                           tons each; the dead one will get 20.000 (½)tons.
         Unrealistic reload, 3 subs, 1 dead, 2 survive, total tonnage         120.000 tons:
                           The 2 survived subs are getting 20.000 (½)
                           tons each; the dead one will get 10.000 (¼) tons.

 

Agenda items of Qu-3*, 3th Commander of the Qu-League:

1.   There are a lot of other games who are worth to look in to. Should we expand our site for those other games?

·        General voting result: No.

·        The games we are talking about are: ‘IL 2’, ‘IL 2 Sturmovik’ and ‘dangerous waters’. About ‘dangerous waters’: It appears to be one of the best Naval Sims on the Aprket now. You are able to do attacks with modern subs, modern DD’s, even planes and helicopters.
We won’t expand our site for those games, but you can learn a lot out of ‘dangerous waters’.

2.  If a sub is the last player in the game, and he is shooting a lot of tonnage, and by doing so he sees that he will be killed or ran over by an other ship, and thereby closes the game just before he is killed. Does the mission for him is counts as an survived mission?

·        General voting result: Yes.

·        It is the privilege of the last survivor to do so. But, if he closes the game down to late, and is killed, he will earn ½ tonnage (or ¼ if non realistic).

3.  Should we always wait for Qu-8 to appear on TS to start a game or to have a conversation?

·        General voting result: No.

·        The openings time of TS is always indicated on the QU-site. Even when it is not open, we can use MSN. It would be nice to have a chat with each other from while to while, when Qu-8 is not around. We have the impression that everyone is waiting for ‘GOD’ to have some fun …

Aspirant The Fly left the Qu-League 07.03.05 07.03.05

The last time 'The Fly' played a game as an Aspirant with one of the Qu-members was 26.12.04.
 
 If I am counting right that makes more than 2 months. The rule Aspirants (Nr 3) says:
 "The date of the last trial-mission you did will be indicated on the site-page 'wall of aspirants'. An Aspirant who didn't play one mission for the past 2 months will loose all rights as an aspirant. He will have to restart, redoing the 6 trial-missions all over, after he is repurposed to the Staff-Commanders."
 
 So his Aspirantship automatically ends today.

Nigel's birthday card 12.02.05
 
 In name of all Qu-members we send Qu-3 a birthday card (made by Qu-W) and some Belgian Beers. Unfortunately, although we send them in time, hoping they would arrive on his birthday, the package came back, because one of the bottles inside was broken. That's the reason Nig received them last Friday. His wife, thinking it was but an envelope almost broke her back carrying the heavy box. Nig was very pleased with the attention. In annex you'll find the card, and the text we wrote on it:
 

"Nigel,
If you’re sealing the right vessel, … then we wish you a lot of tons ….
But, …
If you’re sealing the wrong vessel, then we wish you a fast trip (one way) to the sea bottom … (lol)
In annex a little something from your Qu-Brothers

We did send it already once, but it came back on Saturday with a broken bottle
 Congratulations, M8 ..."

SumApry report on the meeting 04.02.05 04.02.05

 

Agenda items of Qu-8, Fleet-Commander of the Qu-League:

1. Should we challenge other Clans, and what will be the rules we are going to maintain?
         General voting result: No, not yet.
         It’s too early to start challenging other Clans. Let’s approve our skills whit DD and Subs, and let’s try to work
         together as a real Wolfpack, or DD protecting convoy group.
         The rules: Lets take a look at the rules from other clans, and lets take them over. There is no need to reinvent the
         hot water when it already exists.

2. Should we let the new members choose there own Qu-name?
         General voting result: Yes, in a way:
         We will take the first letter of the Nickname. The new member chooses his own nickname. Whenever that letter is
         already in use, the new member may choose a letter. If finally all letters are used we will find a solution by then …
         (lol)

3. Question asked at ADV-Qu-H: Is there a possibility that someone can get access to the forum, in particular the
    Qu-corner, to delete old messages so the forum stays well-organized?
         Qu-8, Max, did get from Hope the access he asked for. He is the only one who can delete messages from other
         Qu-members. Each member can delete, whenever he wants, his own messages on the forum.

4. Adjusting old rules. The will appear in the rules of members. (The executives had already approved those rules in the
    past, but they where not yet applied in the rules for members):
         1. When the time compression is up to 4, and you want to attack, you have to reset the compression on 1. Whenever
             a playing member is shot, and the compression wasn’t down to 1, the mission won’t count, and will be restarted.

         2. The DD’s should do a close protection of their convoy. They can and may not wander off more than 5
             nautical miles from the convoy, in the search for Subs.
 

Agenda items of Qu-7, 2^nd Commander of the Qu-League:

1. Should we make different ‘Allotment of medals’-letters for each medial?
         General voting result: Yes.
         It would give a surplus value on our Qu-Site.

2. Should we have more than one meeting a month?
         General voting result: No.
         If necessary we can start an emergency-meeting whenever needed.

3. How fast can someone become an Aspirant? (How many times does he have to seal with us as a non-aspirant?)
         General voting result: Six times.
         A ‘Wannabe’ (stage before becoming an Aspirant) has to play 6 times of the record before becoming an Aspirant,
         and starting at his 6 trials.

4. Should we announce in the beginning of the game, not only ‘in’, but also Number and sort of vessel, so everyone
     can make notes (and print-screen later)?
         General voting result: Everyone writes down all vessels, numbers and player names before the game begins.
         When the mission is reoffered, every player should take the same vessel.

5. Should an ‘err’-mission (due to crash) count as a non-survived mission? (Brings the average-survival rate unfounded
    down)
         General voting result: Yes.
         When a player is leaving the game due to an error, He will get his part of the tonnage, but the mission shall
          be counted as a non-survival mission.
         When a player is leaving a game (unfounded), he will receive no tonnages, but it will count as a non-survival mission.


Agenda items of Qu-3, 3th Commander of the Qu-League:

1. Should we give the Aspirants special trainings during their trials?
         General voting result: Yes.
         Aspirant will get the opportunity to ask training missions, where he will get personal aid whit software, where he
         can learn how to work whit a sub or a DD. Details will be given later. Qu-3 will work something out.

2. Announcements of Qu-3:

• We often speak of Qu-8 (Max) that he’s GOD. I want to confirm that the Qu-League is a democracy, where every member can give his opinion.  Whit that opinion he is able to refine rules, or he can bring up new ones. Calling our Commander ‘GOD’ is more a humorous reAprk.
• Whatever is dissident during a meeting … Never forget what the Qu-League stands for: Fun, Friendship and amusement. It’s but a game …
• We had to start this meeting without one of our executives: Qu-U, Sam. He had to much work. Whenever there is a thing that’s been discussed this evening, where Qu-U is not agreeing about, that item will be reopened the next meeting.
• We like to tank the ADV-Clan, especially ADV-Qu-Hope, for the use of there Forum. It’s been (and still is) a great help.

26.01.05: Meetings and voting (all members) ... 26.01.05

I want you to say that the next meetings will be open ones. I will explain what I mean.
Everyone saw already that I created a meeting room in our ts-lobby. That room is created for the executive members and is secured with a password.

I will give the password to all members who show interest in following the meting. You can hear what the executives are saying, but you can’t talk.
All meeting points on the agenda will be published in advance. All discussion points will be putted in the forum and in the Qu-news, so all people who have Ideas or suggestions can bring them forward, so one of the executives can defend your point of view.
After each discussion point there will be a voting, to agree or disagree with the subject.
Haw you can vote will be explained during the meeting itself.
You will have the opportunity to talk during the vote. We don’t want to have a discussion then, but you may tell if you are approving or disapproving the suggestion.

Yes guys, you heard it Wright, during the meeting itself, there will be no possibility to talk.
 So if you have an opinion on one of the agenda points of the meeting, you have to give it in advance to one of the executive members.

Thank you for your attention and cooperation!!!

Just click Forum on our site, and then click 'link to forum'.

Your Username will be your Qu-name, with ADV in front. Don't forget to use underscores in staid of hyphens and spaces. (Ex: ADV_Qu_7). To log on use the password Qu-H gave. If you forgot it, just ask Hope, Qu-8 or me. Insert your password in capitals!!

07.01.05: Request of Qu-8, Fleet-Commander: 07.01.05

I was wondering why nobody (except Qu-H) want to play when I am not around. When I give the batreps to Qu-7, I have to conclude that I was host in all of them.

I am wondering why nobody want to host a game for the Qu’s. It isn’t so difficult, and after the game just sent a mail to me and Qu-7 with following data:

General Info:

1. Date – hour end mission
2. number of QU-players
3. Mission name

Particular info of each player:
Qu-name player // Sub or DD // number of used vessel // survived or dead // sank Tonnage

Put all the info on a word-Document and sent it to me and to Qu-7. If possible you may put a print screen of the score whit it, but no harm is done when it isn’t included.

Qu-fellows, just give it a trial … Thanks, and see you all L8r …

30.10.04 (03.35cet): Reaction of Qu-7: 30.10.04

After several trials, some of the site pages don't work like it should be. Because I must rewrite the whole site in an other program, Qu-8 and me decided to announce the existence of our site to all members, including the Aspirants. So all results are finally filled in. Meanwhile I am busy to rewrite the site, so we can use him on his full potential.
By the way, if you have a reaction, ore an announcement to make, please send me an mail, I will publish it in 'Latest Qu-News'.
I just hope you'll like my work so far. Enjoy ....

Thanks to Qu-8, and his friend Chris, our site  saw first day-light on the Net on 21 October 2004. We all hope it will inform a lot of people. At last, Qu-League is getting there ... It took me a lot of hard work to realize this site. I hope everyone is pleased with it.
