We identified the issue, and it should be resolved.

We’ve also enabled a reporting feature. You can now report messages, posts, comments, users, etc., and block accounts. If anything is reported five times, it becomes automatically suspended, and an admin will be notified.

I think some groups call it “Captain’s Orders” or something but the basic premise is the same. Some groups also change up the names of the locations. Like we used “Aft-deck” and “Fore-deck.” I think some groups come up with their own commands to add into the mix of “bombs” and “torpedo.” Like we never did “machine gun.”

When I was leading a battalion only a few years ago, there was only the one option (which the quest update is based on). Personally, I found the greatest hurdle with getting that one off the ground was the look and feel of the book was dated, and the early requirement of getting a mentor was crippling. It would seem that the quest update…
