To alleviate the stress on Gross and other campaign admins, I plead to everyone:
Please join the server 15min early, rather than 1min late. Less drama for everyone, mission gets to start on time and all will get to bed earlier
Join server, take your slots, press fly, and then have the briefing if not already done so. At least on the blue side, we regurarly have mission briefings on the forum one-two days prior to the mission, so every squad leader should already know what they are to do and slots they have in the mission when they launch the game. Squad leaders can brief their flight even in the air if need be
I personally won't ask to "open the door" when the mission start time has passed, even when some of our guys are still outside trying to get in. They are late, and maybe next time they will know better
So, let's make things go smoother by getting in on time.
) that was early (they were all briefing in front of the map) but accidentally disconnected when mioving from the briefing to the arming sceen. He requested to come back in just prior to the mission start time which makes this an exception that can be tolerated, as it didn't really delay the start time of the mission. The delay incurred by restarting the mission was also agreed by all in the chat.
