>Imperfects Declassified Emergency Response Protocols (I DERP)

Good day to you, mercenary hero! Congratulations on your acceptance into the Tomorrow's Imperfects Today program. You're well on your way to becoming a certified TIT.

In your previous lesson, we explained how the electrodes we've attached to your arm can automate trigger presses at superhuman speed... but it's no good being a glorious badass with a Tactical Assault Rifle if you don't know where the enemies are!

Today you will be instructed on communicating strategy and relaying tactical information efficiently in the heat of battle.

Important Considerations:

Do not allow radio silence until each mercenary has drawn his last breath. Though our communications are encrypted, it is likely that the opponent is scanning the available channels and will use the distinctive pattern of static that an occupied but encrypted channel creates to determine whether you are still in the area. A constant stream of menacing noise will provide an effective reminder that you remain engaged with the enemy and is a recommended method of psychological warfare.

At the start of the engagement, quickly and methodically establish which combat role each mercenary will fill. An example of an acceptable exchange follows:

Quote:

A: BRO WHO IS OUR SLAYZORS?

B: ME BRO, I AM OUR SLAYER BRO. BRO.

A: LOL BRO SHUT UP WHO IS OUR SLAYZORS FOR REAL?

B: ME BRO. I'M A SLAYER. I AM RUNNING

C: BRO, [B] IS A SLAYER, BRO.

B: TOLD YOU. SCRUB.

A: LOL

B: LOL

C: LOL

A: BUT WHO IS SLAYZOR FOR REAL?

Mercenaries often awaken in their clones with a slight disorientation. Studies have proven that an effective remedy for this disorientation is to clearly explain the obvious functionality of commonly used equipment to trigger a feeling of familiarity in your comrade. The most common example of this is for one of the twelve Field Commanders to explain the functionality of a drop uplink in what would otherwise be unnecessary detail.

Insulting one another creates a sense of camaraderie and reinforces group cohesion.

It can often be difficult to determine the priority of any given piece of information. To effectively communicate this, first rate the information you are relaying on a scale of 1 to 10, then repeat it that many times. Examples follow.

What their leader, now a CPM representative, all did for the community and the passion and quality of discussion their members brought to us via IRC (Telc, Noc, Skytt, Beers...) only reassured this 'something special' image of their somewhat closed, small-in-numbers, elite club. At one moment I even called them intelligentsia of DUST; beside all the hate and jalousie that was generated toward them, their victories and successes (and their trolls, of course) -- they kept thinking sharp, fresh and bold and kept feeding the community, and hopefully CCP, with ideas on what this game is and what it may become. To cut the story short, it all fell down when the recent video of a battle with STB was released, together with their internal comms during the match. Shocker. Growth in numbers and terrible drop of troll-quality (both in content and charisma) was not without reason. Imps lost something they used to have. Their comms revealed one undisciplined herd, a bunch of first peasant shooters, 16 elite single-players, with a lot of trash and clutter, and with no vision what to do with... objective C and an OB. Let's not even to talk about vision of what DUST is and should be. My heart broke. Still some good old Imps from IRC, ones I referred when I talked about the DUST intelligentsia, assure it wasn't always so and that it will change to better again. I really hope so. I hope recent, far from stellar, results and public leakage of this scandalous match/comms make them change how their internal stuff works and give us back those old Imps -- Imps we as a DUST community deserve. Wish you luck!
