Amount of commander players in the Project Reality Tournament

[Michael_Denmark]

The nominal history of the commander players in the Project Reality Tournament
2006 - 2016

Dear commander players and others interested

I want to find out how many tournament players, who has played the function of the PRT Commander, since campaign 1, back in 2006 until campaign 12, our time, in 2016. The function is incredibly difficult to master and as consequence it is far from all having completed a full campaign.

Motivation
My curiosity is based on my original question:

Can the commander players learn anything, from the absolute amount of commander players, having completed the entirety of one or more tournament campaigns, compared to the amount not having accomplished a full campaign?

Nominal data needed
In order to ask that question, however, the nominal figures has to be established first;

• How many commander players has there been in total?
• How many did not complete a full campaign?

For the players having completed at least one full campaign, I ask the following questions:

• how many completed one full campaign?
• how many completed one full and partly a second campaign?

• how many completed two full campaigns?
• how many completed two full and partly a third campaign?

• how many completed three full campaigns?
• how many completed three full and partly a fourth campaign?

I my self completed one full campaign as the appointed commander of the C5 PELA Team - People's Elite Liberation Army ? Opfor and partly as the appointed commander of the C6 CATA 2 Army - Central Asian Treaty Alliance ? Opfor.


My questions to you
I therefore ask to anyone, who remembers, either who in person or how many, who was appointed as the tactical team commander, in the following twelve campaigns:

Is it shameful not to have completed a full campaign?
The short and full answer is no. Having stepped up to the plate is simply put brave. Because when doing so, you expose your self in so many ways, to everyone, while simultaneously, confront the most steep learning curve in the entire game.

Please understand this is not about who is best or not. Competition is not an issue here.

Both the CO and the SCO function, really is incredible difficult to master. It involves hundreds if not thousands of decisions to be made, throughout a single campaign. Hundreds of meetings, opinions, agreements, disagreements, expectations, frictions, ambitions, compromises, adjustments, initiatives and so forth.

This is about getting the numbers down and from there on, start to ask questions.


Why I decided to post my questions in this forum
I respectfully posted in the commander forums, since very few of the old commander players seems to visit the tournament site.

My hope is that at least some of the old players from those teams may remember who or how many commander players, was appointed to a specific team, during a specific campaign.

I hope you will help getting the numbers down, so we can start to ask questions based on data.


NOTE
this post will be edited as names or numbers are posted in the thread.
Please read Post 8 for updates on information needed!

You might also need to define what you mean by Commanders, as some of those functions changed as the PRT evolved.

In the modern PRT we have Supreme Commanders who are responsible for administration and management of the team, and Commanders who are responsible for the planning and execution of PRT matches. In the past I think those functions overlapped a lot more, and may not even have been separate roles.

In addition to that, last campaign (C11) I played the role of XO for MRF where I took up a number of responsibilities in support of both the SCO and CO including team admin, and in-game support for the CO and his decision making processes. Should XOs therefore have consideration within the framework of your question?

- C9 NATO Alpha & Charlie Armies - North Atlantic Treaty Organization - Blufor (NATO Alpha CO: AgentMongoose)
- C9 Unified CATA Team - Central Asian Treaty Alliance - Opfor

...

- C11 PDI Team - Pacific Defense Initiative (SCO: Danger, CO: Hotfranc)
- C11 MRF Team - Mediterranean Response Force (SCO: Cossack, CO: Aleon)

[Michael_Denmark]

Campaign 9 and 11:

Thanks Web_cole

Yes, of course, I should have defined the function as the tactical Team Commander.

The Supreme Commander, was if I recall correctly, introduced in Campaign 6 and the administrators, should I recall correctly, also asked us as tactical Team Commanders, about the idea, back in the last part of Campaign 5?

- C11 PDI Team - Pacific Defense Initiative (SCO: Danger, CO: Hotfranc)
- C11 MRF Team - Mediterranean Response Force (SCO: Cossack, CO: Aleon)

Did all four complete the full campaign?

- C9 NATO Alpha & Charlie Armies - North Atlantic Treaty Organization - Blufor (NATO Alpha CO: AgentMongoose)

Do you know if AgentMongoose complete the full campaign?

[Michael_Denmark]

Campaign 11:

It seems, from the tournament news, campaign 11, that

SCO: Cossack, CO: Aleon and SCO: Danger all completed a full campaign, right?

[Cossack]

Yeah, me, Aleon and Danger completed full campaign.

[Web_cole]

Did all four complete the full campaign?



Do you know if AgentMongoose complete the full campaign?

All of them did as far as I know, yes.

[Michael_Denmark]

Campaign 10:

Okay then, Campaign 10, copy pasted from the tournament news, starting and ending SCOs and COs:

PAC
Both SCO Spook and CO Cruzmissile [PAC], seems to have completed the full campaign, right?

Supreme Commanding Officer (SCO): Spook, Germany
Commanding Officer (CO): Cruzmissile, United States of America

EMF
SCO Norby [EMF] seem to have completed a full campaign?
CO Age [EMF], CO Danger [EMF] and CO Snipd [EMF] seem to have partly completed a campaign, right?

Supreme Commanding Officer (SCO): Norby, Germany
Commanding Officer (CO): Snipd, United States of America

***

Yeah, me, Aleon and Danger completed full campaign.

Thanks for that information Cossack, much appreciated.

[Michael_Denmark]

Some of the following player names found, was deployed after a search I made throughout the member list of the tournament. Other player names has now been added by people from the community. Many times it is important that an information has more than one source, so validation from others is important.

I attempt to thank everyone having helped with information.

Web_cole, DonDoom, Wicca, Murkey, Fnixer, L4gi, Alex L., HunterMed, Saobh, Outlawz, decoy.dk, PFunk, sweedensniiperr, Cossack, Sekh765, AgentMongoose, MaSSive, Yrkidding, H1tman, Woolfson, Danger_6, Hotfranc, Spook, DEDMON5811, Smeggles

INFORMATION WANTED


DEDMON5811, the first and only EJOD team CMDR, from campaign 1, and I found him October 26th, PM send to him and he replied on the same day, after having been offline the forums for a very long time.

DEDMON5811 completed the first campaign from start to end, thereby being the first commander player, having completed a camping in the tournament. So, with his PM, we now have response and information, from one of the first two commander players, in the great Project Reality Tournament. Awesome and Thank you again DEDMON5811!

The EJOD team, also being the first Opfor team, is to this day in 2016, the only team in the tournament having used the same name as a PR map.


CasualtyUR, I am so far unable to get in contact with him through the PM system and I do not have any other contact information, so if anyone from the community has such a contact, it will help the project a lot, to notify him on this tread. CasualtyUR has participated in at least 7 campaigns, from the start of the tournament and he stepped up to the plate as commander, helping a team once again, in campaign 10.

Maverick, is the PR player using the name "the.ultimate.maverick" ...after having gone through some of his threads today October 26th, I found the proof in the "USM" Thread, where he post on having run an ASOG training, in the Project Reality Tournament.

USM
I've just run an ASOG (Project Reality Tournament) practice. It ran from about 2000GMT till 2330 GMT with about 30-35 guys there.

https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f10-pr ... 8-usm.html

Question then is if he has continued to call him self the.ultimate.maverick in other PR related places, clans end etc.

Afvalbak retired CATA CO, might have information on both the starting and mid campaigns, however, I am unable to get in contact with him, his PM inbox is full. If anyone here can get in contact with him, please tell him that his memory is needed.
Hitperson, he participated in the beginning campaigns and I do remember him too, however, not if he played as CO at some point, - help?
bonsai - Retired CATA SCO C7, did he complete the full campaign? Also CO in C7 and C9, please help with validated information?
Grayeknight NATO, did he not play both as CO and SCO in C6?, before being appointed to tournament lead?
Salah ad Din, CATA 1 CO, but in what campaign?
Khidr did play as CATA CO did he not? C6 or C7 perhaps? information needed?
I also remember a player with the name Clypp, did he play in the tournament as a CO? Before C5 that would be.
We need to find out if Alex L. resigned in campaign 6 or 7, because with that we will know when Casualty was NATO SCO, Grayknight perhaps NATO CO and SCO too. In post 11 a source describe the replacement that took place.
Fnixer - starting PDI CO (source PM October 4th and post 36, however, new source October 20th state Fnixer should be mentioned as an appointed CO having participated in a very short amount of time, no battle commanding included. The two reasons for mentioning Fnixer, are to [1] respecting he stepped up to the plate and [2] letting the community know he has been appointed by the tournament administration)
So it is most probably Hotfranc, having done most or all of the commanding, remember to watch the videos!

we will only post the names from the current campaign in this draft post, until the campaign is over. Hereafter they will be deployed in post 1.
_____________________________________________________

Info on amount of work involved in the list so far:

1. Asking the Tournament Administration for access to the archives - my request was denied.
2. From Tournament Admin Onils advice, I started searching the tournament member list for people who had been mentioned as either CO or SCO. The search gave me some 15-20 player names and I indirectly learned, that a certain amount of the Admins also had been playing as either CO or SCO, although their profile does not mention it?
3. After my initial search through the tournament member list, I started a PM and Email operation, counting until today, between 50 to 100 PMs and emails. That is a minimum of 50-60 send, and an unknown amount replied. I have not counted the replied yet.
4. Created a thread in the commander forum, on the PR main site. Against my expectations, it rapidly got a lot of views and response. Glad for that - big time, boosting my dedication quite a bit.
5. From all the correspondence I learned that at least some people mentioned youtube videos as potential sources, so I started to search for videos and that proofed to be a useful source.
6. Asking the Tournament Administration to expand my PM inbox - my request was granted.
7. Sending out befriend to every CO and SCO player from the tournament, plus a few public COs too. Much more easy if I have their profiles listed. Besides commander players should befriend each other, why haven't I thought about that before, Jesus Christ 10 years has gone, how slow minded can I possible be - LOL?
***

Thoughts on my mistakes I so far have noticed my self:

First of all, I should have made a default formula, for people to fill out. That would have made both the personal interactions and the data collection, more easy to develop. I dont think the formula would have been an obstacle for some of the more difficult conversations I have run into, because with it, there would always have been the option to fall back on it, and restart an otherwise loaded dialogue.

Secondly, I should have created a deeper definition of the two completion statuses, I decided to make use of. Being, Completed and Partly Completed. So for the future result list, I now think a deeper definition should be considered. That way, we ensure every single person having stepped up to the plate, gets noticed by the community. I will post on it in the thread and ask for suggestions too. In fact, I should probably have asked for suggestions from the start.

Thirdly, when facing situations, where conflict of acknowledgment exists, and they do more than I had thought of, before I started up this project, I should have initiated a debate on the issue, with the people in the thread, before starting to contact anyone. Should probably have asked questions like; a) when two or more guys wants to be credited for the volume of work involved, in this CO/SCO dynamic, how to 1) approach that in the first place, and 2) should it be left out of the data collection, in order not to stir things up?

Fourthly, regarding the video sources on the battles, I should have prepared my self, by creating a dedicated thread for all of them, which everyone reading the thread, could use to confirm related statements and lack of memory.

PR Official Tournament - Signups are now OPEN.
https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f82-pr ... -open.html

Alex L.
The tournament will last for 5 to 7 matches, which are placed in a 2-week battlecycle. Matches are big (1 map with 900-1000 tickets) and usually last 1,5 to 2,5 hours, every other Saturday. Team trainings will be announced by the commanders. With 5 matches, that will place the end of the tournament roughly in February 2007. The first match is Saturday the 25th of November; 10 days from the day this post is written.

Tournament matches will be hosted on gloryhound servers, during which time the public server will be dissengaged in order to diminish lag issues.

The tourmanent is considered to be the teamwork experience in the community. Teams are very tighly organised to provide the most realistic experience possible. Previous succesful team commanders include battle-experienced leaders such as UK_Force, Wraith and Gaz, who serve on the R-DEV team today.

I can wholeheartedly reccomend joining one of the teams (US/Brit vs MEC/Insurgents) to participate in this unique experience; its heaps of fun and will let you experience the new 0.4 release from a whole new perspective - that of extensive teamwork and professionality. Its great for noobs to learn some new skils, too.

[Michael_Denmark]

All of them did as far as I know, yes.

Web, I found you on the tournament site too, so question is, if the XO function is equivalent to the old CO function?

WebCole - Retired MRF XO

WebCole - Retired MRF XO

No, not really. The XO is to the SCO and/or CO, what the NCO is to the Squad Leader. And like how every tournament squad has a different dynamic in how they operate, I'm sure the same can said for the "top three" in any team.

P*Funk - Retired NATO CO (Was this also campaign 7 and did he also go SCO at some point?)

P*Funk completed C9 as the SCO of NATO. He probably also had CO responsibilities for NATO Charlie during C9, and I believe he was promoted to SCO/CO at some point during C8, but I'm less clear on those last two points.

[Michael_Denmark]

Campaign 9:

P*Funk completed C9 as the SCO of NATO. He probably also had CO responsibilities for NATO Charlie during C9, and I believe he was promoted to SCO/CO at some point during C8, but I'm less clear on those last two points.

Right, we need more info then, before we deploy him on the list.

No, not really. The XO is to the SCO and/or CO, what the NCO is to the Squad Leader. And like how every tournament squad has a different dynamic in how they operate, I'm sure the same can said for the "top three" in any team.

Oh, I think you already explained that to me in another thread, sorry. thanks again, getting older here, so if I ask you again in a week or so, please dont mention it

Campaign 11:

We also have PDI, Commanding Officer (CO): Fnixer, he is posted from the SCO/CO announcement of the campaign, so I assume he partly completed the campaign, or did he leave before the campaign started

What about NiGHTWoLF? was he the one leading the BCST team?

Okay, found this from Alex L, the great dictator, for those of us who remember his reign. he was in fact quite successful as a CO, should I recall correctly. Won all his battles, did he not?

Arrow New Tournament Lead
Hello everyone,

The first battle cycle has been completed. Months and months of hard work has finally paid off. Unfortunately, not completely without problems but hey, what else is new in the tournament. I haven???t had a single campaign yet where everything was perfect. This time we had some server problems surrounding the Basra map. Though there is an elaborate way around the problem, we have decided to remove Al Basra from the battle map until the problem is resolved by the developers.

Under my guidance, the tournament has quadrupled in capacity, become much more professional and streamlined. The appearance of the tournament has been modernized and standardized, with our very own house style, custom icons, etc. New modes have been introduced, including the very recent continuous battle cycle with interactive battle map. After some experimenting in C5, we have even introduced the ???SoldierCP???, which includes a comprehensive rank system and much more features especially designed for the tournament. Features that will be expanded upon by the tournament staff. Conclusively, I???m proud to say that our tournament is up to par with most commercial alternatives.

However, for the tournament to grow further, new ???fresh blood??? is required. Although it was not publically announced, I have been on LOA for a few weeks now, pending my graduation from university. I am pleased to inform you all that I have successfully graduated. Subsequently, I have accepted a job in line with my studies. For this reason, and because I feel the tournament can no longer expand and evolve under my guidance, I have decided to retire my position as Tournament Lead.

Naturally, I will not leave you all to squander away. The tournament needs a Great Dictator! For a while now, I have been very impressed with the work of my commanders and completely in line with the tradition of selecting Tournament Leads from the commander pool, I have offered the position to one of the allied commanders. He has graciously accepted. As such, I am honored and thrilled to announce that the fourth Tournament Lead will be: Grayeknight. Congratulations!

During the next few weeks I will not disappear completely. I will remain on the staff as a consultant (like previous TL???s) and I will also be guiding Grayeknight in his new function so that the transition progresses as fluenty as possible.

Obviously, with Grayeknights moving up in the world, the position of Allied Supreme Commander has become vacant. In my last act on active duty, I have decided that CasualtyUR is promoted to General and will be in command of NATO. It will be up to him and grayeknight to find a suitable commander for NATO 1.

But wait, there???s still more to tell: due to his persistent health problems, my friend and esteemed colleague Pipodeluxe has too announced his retirement. I wish him all the best in his revalidation and thank him for his yearlong contribution to the admin team. For those who don???t know, he???s been our main guy responsible for the tournament house-style, including the forum Icons and the flash header. You shall be missed!

Alright. That???s it for the big announcements. It???s been great fun these last two years. First as chopper pilot for Echo (I was Echo-5, lol) and then on to HCO and eventually Commander and Tournament Lead. I???ve had successful times, and we???ve had troubled times. Overall, I???m glad to say that I???ve never had the urge to resign or quit based on the sometimes emotional attacks on the administration and that the good times have dominated. I thank everyone for that. Though, If I may add something, please give your new Lead a while to adjust, lol. It takes some time to develop elephant-skin and a group of angry tournament-players can be crude as hell! So be nice and behave.

Good luck everyone! Seeya!

So grayeknight was a partly SCO in campaign what?
And CasualtyUR, CO and or SCO too, help?

Was Pipodeluxe ever in command? He was btw, the one taking care of me back in 2006, as new team CO. Very good guy!

Question: Which teams did Alex L command?

[R-DEV]Mineral, thanks, my apology deployed.

Okay, so I finally found a video from campaign 1. Apparently both Gaz and Deg played here, so I am gonna contact Gaz now, already contacted Deg.

Check it out, this is old PR:

Another thread with potential, is the one Requim, The Founder of Project Reality, created back in September 2005, where he asked the community if it found the idea of a tournament appealing?

So here is the Link to the very thread, that maybe became the formal public start, of this enterprise, the Project Reality Tournament, we or us, the following two to three thousand players, has participated in.

[Mineral]

Cool to see you excited about this. But we have edit buttons. Don't double post again please.

[sweedensniiperr]

I recall at the end of C10 Spook took on some more CO responsibilties due to cruz being a bit more busy. Can't tell you the details since I don't know them. You probably need to hear it from them.

[Cossack]

Norby - SCO of glorious EMF during C10. From first to last battle.

[L4gi]

Aquiller was the supreme commander of CATA in C7. He also commanded Cata3 in C7. I think Afvalbak did CATA2.

In C8 I was the Supreme Commander of CATA aswell as the commander of CATA3. Dont remember the CATA2 commander.

[Michael_Denmark]

I recall at the end of C10 Spook took on some more CO responsibilties due to cruz being a bit more busy. Can't tell you the details since I don't know them. You probably need to hear it from them.

So you are saying that CO Cruzmissile did not complete C10 as appointed CO? Or are you referring to an internal agreement between these two individuals?

Norby - SCO of glorious EMF during C10. From first to last battle.

Copy Cossack, already posted him in Post 1, the bottom part. Thank you for validating the information.

Aquiller was the supreme commander of CATA in C7. He also commanded Cata3 in C7. I think Afvalbak did CATA2.

In C8 I was the Supreme Commander of CATA aswell as the commander of CATA3. Dont remember the CATA2 commander.

Aquiller
Right, Aquiller did both SCO and CO in C3, glad I convinced him too, to start releasing his PRT potential.

L4gi
And then you also covered both the SCO and CO in C8, but - after you took over from Aquiller right?...meaning that Aquiller was also SCO and CO for CATA 3 in the start of C8, or what, HELP?

In which campaign was CATA 3 formed as a team?
I am still confused about CATA 3; was it formed in C7 or C8?, because according to The History of the PRT - Campaign Ribbons-site, it was formed in C8, but you guys talk about it, as it were formed, already in C7?

C7 CATA 1 & CATA 2 Armies - Central Asian Treaty Alliance - Opfor (here in C7, no CATA 3?)

C8 CATA 2 & CATA 3 Armies - Central Asian Treaty Alliance - Opfor (here we see CATA 3 the first time)

Check out the history site here:
The History of the PRT - Campaign Ribbons - Project Reality Tournament Forums

Thanks for the information guys, gonna cover L4gi and Aquiller now.

[L4gi]

I answered your PM.

Edit: I also have like 99% of battleplan material saved from these campaigns.

Also:

[Michael_Denmark]

Thanks L4gi, replied.

Think we maybe are getting closer to why we see this growing pattern of people - only partly completing those campaigns, not completely sure of course, but think we have some indicators at least...of a structural problem.

[Murkey]

A few other titbits:

Wolfson wasn't CO if memory serves. He was an SL and NCO in the Cougars (CATA recon outfit) for C8 or 8.5.

Also what about Orthas? I have several memories of him badgering me to get things done when I was an SL. Maybe C8 and 9 for CATA

Cheers, Murkey.

[L4gi]

Orthas actually played in NATO before C8. I recruited him into CATA, and in the coming campaigns he ended up going from CO to Supreme Commander too. Dont remember the campaigns tho, probably C9 or so.
