[gunswat]

Yea i know ive been with them before and yea I think we need em5asap haha

[Jand2562]

Hi Gunswat,

 

Unfortunately we do not allow other clans to be members we request our membership to be committed and fully loyal.  We tend to find that members who are "Double Clanning" don't dedicate enough time to both clans to be considered contributing members.

We would love to have you join us, however, we are developing new mods, and unlike some other persons here said, our multiplayer is stronger than ever, especially with our new releases, and the new mods we are developing.  and of course, once EM5 comes out, Blackrock Cliffs will be finishing development! So we are very excited for that!

Dive- Please do not speak for the clan, you are not affiliated with, nor a member from our clan since your removal.  Thank you.

I will speak about the clan if i want i will speak about the experience i had with the clan all i want to also. And new releases you just edit skins and move vehicles around stations, that isn't anything big. There have been no major changes to the mod in a long time and im talking changes like blackout did in V3

[MikeyPI]

The clan dynamic of this community really is frustrating at times, if one has the right to advertise their clan, then it is fair for users that have used a clan to state their opinion regarding a clan as well. In the end in my opinion I think clans could work together and cooperate far more than they have in the past, hopefully in the future they will since in-fighting and disputes lead only to drama, and in fact generally cost users to a community as opposed to strengthening it.  @ Dive, you have a right to your opinion and to state it in a courteous manner, @ squad 55, you have a right to respond to opinions courteously and professionally without causing any nonsense.  In the internetz people will say what is on their mind, not all of it you will agree with but part of the perks of freedom of speech is the cost of having others have the same right.  The key is to keep it reasonable and not let it degrade into a flaming contest.  I've said my peace on this matter, hopefully people can manage mature behavior in the future and save headaches for all.

[gunswat]

Yea I couldent agree more and there all clans that will work together and I think that's great:)

Depends, if youre still playing standard EM4, LA Mod, or NYC v1 it can die out pretty quickly but that is why me and NYCERU are releasing products so often and trying to change things up, we constantly are bringing new content to light the spark again. We can get tired of V3 and move to Brooklyn for a month and this month we went back to V3 for most of our games, and thats what pushed me to go ahead and finish it off with 3.0.5. If youre with a group like NYCERU or Squad 55 that makes there own content and updates frequently with new stuff. EM4 MP will never die down. MERU/NYCERU has been playing for 3 years now and with new stuff its still just as exciting as the first.

 

As for your attitude CFD, that needs to change. You got banned from Squad 55 for a reason, find something better to do than talk trash about them or try to convince members not to join. 

[Newfoundking]

 The key is to keep it reasonable and not let it degrade into a flaming contest.

This was the important part to remember from what MikeyPI said.

[CFDDIVE11]

The reason that I got banned was a misunderstanding that me and the members have sorted out and they even said it wasn't me and someone else within or outside the clan. I explained the situation to DC stove on a seperate TS. And the squad now knows that this certain situation that happened is a misunderstanding.

[Jand2562]

@Dive - You have had several issues, not just the final ban (which is your second perm ban from the squad, the first one was my mistake for allowing you to return because I actually liked you a lot). Regardless that is not here nor there.

 

I absolutely agree with what @Raf said - when you are part of a clan that tries to keep things changing and interesting for its members, the MP will never die down, just like MERU/NYCERU, Squad 55 has been around for 5 years!!! And still going strong.  We actually just completed a new mod that we are using to train members, and we released the new public version to stir interest in EM4, we are almost finished with all skinning on Harbor County, and are finalizing the map, hopefully if the lead modder Helljumper returns from his latest deployment soon we will be ready to release that one in the next few months.  and EM5 is on the horizon which will change the landscape of Emergency Multiplayer and we are truly excited as Im sure EOC and NYCERU are as well!

 

And @gunswat, I do agree, that I hope the clans can come together more in the future.  We are trying to work out a "Family Day" for the clans where we can all get together on a single teamspeak and play a ton of games together on all kinds of different mods just to have some fun!!! I hope the other clans will join us and continue the talks we've been having about this.  We are a community of online gamers, and as such we should be a community together!!!

 

Cheers,

chief jand2562

It shouldn't need to be said, but just in case, further discussion regarding the banning of members should be carried out and not in private. 1. It makes you clan look bad. You're airing your dirty laundry out for others to see, and no one wants to get into that sorta drama. 2. It isn't wanted on this forum, and should be dealt with privately.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Squad 55 LiveCAD System Launch

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
OFFICE OF THE CHIEF
COMMUNICATIONS DIVISION
ANNOUNCEMENT:
NEW SYSTEM FOR DISPATCH AND RESPONSE 
SQUAD 55 LIVECAD SYSTEM RELEASE INFORMATION
POLICY EFFECTIVE: 5/24/14
AFFECTING: ALL DEPARTMENTS, ALL CITIES

SUMMARY:
It is with great pleasure and privilege that I get to announce the launch of our NEW LiveCAD System. Our Communications Division has been hard at work developing a new system to improve Dispatches and response times throughout the cities we serve. As such we have invested in a new LiveCAD System for Squad 55 Communications Division's Use. The system is currently viewable by members by selecting the Member's Area tab on the website and selecting LiveCAD. Choose an active game from the list to begin viewing the Public/In-Game view of the dispatches for that game. You may currently only view the game titled "Squad 55 CAD Showcase" which serves as a demonstration of the abilities of our new system. You will notice the page also autorefreshes periodically to ensure units in the field, and the local news agencies in addition to the command staff have the latest information instantly available.

PURPOSE:
Squad 55's Communications Division is charged with receiving all requests for service within our cities from 911 callers and other means of communication, and routing appropriate personnel within the jurisdictions we are contracted to service. Communications Division handles countless calls for service each and every day. The division's personnel are tasked with not only multi-tasking but effectively dispatching and routing all units to respond to these calls each and every day. This charge can literally be the difference between life and death for our constituents.

EXPECTED BENEFITS:
The system is expected to enhance response times, dispatcher efficiency, and ensure proper units are routed to each call for service. We anticipate after the learning curve a percentage increase in overall productivity for the department of at least 60% (with a standard deviation of 10.5%).

TRANSITIONAL INFORMATION:
In the coming days, Dispatchers will be briefed on how to use the system, as well as officers how to administrate it. We are still uploading all of the run-cards into the system which is the only delay right now in our use of the LiveCAD. It does recommend units for dispatch based on run-cards making our Dispatchers live's easier, so we do have to upload each alarm level and run card into the system. Communications Administration is working hard to get this completed.

OTHER INFORMATION:
The great benefit of this system is the ability to scale and expand. Not only do we own the code, the program, and the license for it, but we can modify, change or otherwise manipulate the system as we grow and we have a great programmer we have worked with on it. 

It also allows for us to add additional mods/cities for our use. This means we can add Harbor County (when released), BlackRock Cliffs (when released) and any other publicly available mods including the Boston Mod, LA MOD etc. Each City can have its own map, stations, units, call types, and run cards associated with it. 

I am very excited about this release and look forward to its use by the clan. I think our dispatchers will truly love this new system!

You can also navigate straight to the page itself by pointing your browser to www.dispatch.squad55.com.

PUBLIC INFORMATION:
Public LiveCAD access is available by selecting an active game with no login required. To dispatch you must select the admin login link and login using your username and password that you registered with on the CAD site. 

COMMUNICATIONS DIVISION INFORMATION:
(Edited for public view-text removed)

All dispatchers should expect a training on the new cad system coming within the next week. If you are unable to make it reach out to a chief to schedule your training on the new system.

CONCLUSION:
Exciting developments for Squad 55 all. As always I welcome any and all feedback regarding the system and we will make changes as the need arises. 

Chief Jand2562
