  2. Resignation of Detachment Leader Joseph justjoseph63

    in Announcements

    Posted · Edited by themaninthesuitcase
    Corrected typo.

    As many of you may now be aware, yesterday evening justjoseph63 tendered his resignation as detachment leader to the FISD staff.

     

    The Legion COG team was then notified of this, who today accepted this resignation and have now begun to take the appropriate actions as defined by the Operations Protocols.

     

    What does this mean for the detachment?

     

    The OP provides for 2 options:

    • The XO may step up and assume the DL position, subject to a confidence vote by the detachment membership.
    • Should the XO not be willing, and emergency election will be held.

     

    As XO I have informed the LCOG team that I am willing to assume the DL role. Details of the confidence vote can be found in this detachment members only post:

    At this time I would like to request you honour Josephs request for privacy in this matter. This was not a decision that he came to lightly. I am sure you will all join me in wishing Joseph the best in what must be difficult times.

  13. Themaninthesuitcase F-11D Standard build

    in Weapons of the First Order

    Small amount of movement, only a test but promising.

     

    I thought that having a movable hinge on the front grip could result in a lot of stress on the threads that may eventually just strip out of the blaster.  To fix this I have added some heat set inserts.

    This gives me some nice metal threads that can't wear out.  Similar to how I have added space for nylocs in the body for the "holster" bolts.  In hindsight I wish I had used inserts here as well. If I have to reprint I probably will do.

    I also added them to the magazine mount. I have a power switch mounted here so ease of access is important, and so is a secure fix.

     

    These are easy to add.  I just need a hole the right size added the the 3D file, I have values setup for this now.  Once printed I simply drop in an insert which has a "nose" to locate it, and then use a special tip on a soldering iron set to 210C to slowly push them home.

    Dead simple.  

     

    Like all projects as I near completion on them I look back and think of all the things I would do differently if I started over and adding these more widely would be one such change.

     

    I have some electronics parts on order, so hopefully my next update will be on that front.  I also have some printer updates happening which I am hoping will release the flow on parts I need to complete the build.

     

    Then it's "just" paint :shok:

    Approved means that the costume has passed review by a GML, and active Detachment membership means that you have logged in to the Detachment forum for that costume at LEAST once a year. Some Detachments go by the Legion term year (Feb-Jan), while others go by the Calendar year (Jan-Dec). This must be done for every Detachment you have an approved costume.


     

     

    I'll need to find out if that ship has sailed, or if this login will count.

    So... why did I go from a full member yesterday to 'expired' today as the 'voting' hasn't started yet???

    Hi Jervis,

     

    You are currently marked as 501st TK here, are you referring to the Legion status?

     

    There are certain processes that get run in the run up to the elections, and this would include expiring membership where appropriate.

     

    I don't have access to the full data, but I would expect this is what has triggered this status change.  My first guess was when was the last time you logged into the forum before today?
