Now that we've got the basics, Art, how do we improve.

"So tell the judge I'm ready for the vases.
I'll dance in their faces when the guitar sounds.
Won't be long, I won't be gone.
Been leaning towards the shadows all along.

Ok I have finally begun entering these into Wiki.  Once this process has been completed, I will begin grading any story whose completion date is past the date when this programme was first announced.  From there I will begin to evaluate stories and make adjustments.  I am considering whether or not to include major stories from the previous year and, in particular, the ESC.  I am leaning against it at the moment given the fact that all long-standing members have received various term of service bonuses.  Nevertheless, some of the ratings for long-serving pilots are probably low by their character's standard.  I may consider grading older posts by a tougher standard.  That is for a later date.

"The way of war is a way of deception. When able, feign inability; when deploying troops, appear not to be. When near, appear far; when far, appear near. Lure with bait; strike with chaos. If the enemy is full, be prepared. If strong, avoid him. If he is angry, disconcert him. If he is weak, stir him to pride. If he is relaxed, harry him; if his men are harmonious, split them. Attack where he is unprepared; appear where you are unexpected. This is victory in warfare; it cannot be divulged in advance. Victory belongs to the side that scores most in the temple calculations before battle. Most spells victory; least spells defeat; none, surer defeat. I see it in this way, and the outcome is apparent." -- Sun Tzu

I realize this is an old topic, but I was wondering whether or not these proficiency ratings are still under construction, or whether the system was disbanded. I have the template in my Wiki, I just don't have anything else.

If this is no longer being used, I'll remove the template. If it is something that is still in the works, then I'll leave it on my page.

Many thanks to any who can clear up the issue.

I may have misread what you were saying, and this idea could be what you meant, but I'm lazy so I'll post it here.

What if the exams actually granted you more points. For instance, if you passed the Aviators exam you recieved 3 points. If you passed with distinction, you get an extra point. The SAE works the same way, giving you three more points in the pilot profeciencies to work with. MEs and the MAE, three more each. I don't know if that would be feasible, but it would be easy to keep track of.

I think we're still trying to figure that out.

There's probably no problem affording people points based on some of the exams; we just wouldn't let them start messing with those points before they passed the SA, at which point we could say "Here's three points- for this: you can use all three or none at all- that's up to you..."  And then, as you progress to those bigger exams, we afford more points, that type of thing.  The idea that I don't want us to get in mind is that these point values somehow show a limit- that's just not correct: they would show a kind of norm.  Afterall, just as everyone has a bad day where they can't seem to hit the broadside of a moisture vaporator, so, too, can we have days where we fly with brilliance: people sometimes exceed their own expectations.  That doesn't make them better pilots though, lol- it's a fluke.  So- these are more like guidelines that we would expect people to kind of follow along with.  In all reality, they should mirror what we already do- new recruits shouldn't fly like aces, but aces shouldn't be able to take down every pilot they see: this is more like our own, personal evaluations of our characters' skills based on the region we're expected to be in. 

If you've been flying for two years, you might have a wealth of points, but you may not use all of them because it's just not your character- he's better or worse at different things, so on and so forth.  OR- we're getting to technical and we might just have some licenses and stick to the "this is how good my character is" idea where they just put points where they think they ought to be.  I kind of like the second option better because it requires less observation, appears less technical, and, in my opinion, just feels like we have less red tape.  Thoughts?
