Hey everybody!  Bob mentioned this topic earlier today in his detachment newsletter, but the discussion for it has thus far been on the staff-only section of the forums, which isn't visible to the membership at large.  So, I would like to duplicate my comments here to solicit more feedback.
 
I would like to make three changes to the judging standards used by deployment officers to judge L2/L3 (Executor/Imperator) submissions.  I believe these changes will remove some subjectivity and ambiguity from the process.  These changes primarily affect Imperator (L3) submissions since the criteria for those is higher than they are for Executor (L2).
 
1. Judging done on CRL specifications only; no unwritten/subjective criteria
 
In the past, applicants have been judged on criteria that are not explicitly spelled out in the CRL, such as the presence of undyed vs. dyed edges on belts, edge grooves on belts, numbers of belt holes, jodhpur shape, tunic length, etc.  Since these are not spelled out in the CRL (or were not in the past; some may be now), there is no way for the applicant to prepare in advance unless they are "in the know", and there is no guarantee the unwritten criteria will be applied consistently across all applicants and different deployment officers.
 
Going forward, we will judge applicants solely based on what is explicitly stated in the CRL.  Some of the criteria I mentioned above have since been added into their respective CRLs (such as undyed belt edges on the ANH Staff Officer CRL) anyway.  If any deployment officers or other IOC staff believe we should be judging based on criteria that are not currently in the CRL, we will discuss them as CRL edits and get them added there (if the consensus goes that way) before they will be used to judge any L2/L3 submissions.
 
This does not mean that deployment officers are prevented from making recommendations or suggestions to applicants based on details that are present in reference material but aren't explicitly stated in the CRLs.  However, these recommendations will be in the form of suggestions only, and will not be used to deny L2/L3 applications.
 
 
2. Emulating an on-screen/canon officer is encouraged, but not required.
 
One of the current expectations for L3 submissions is that the applicant emulate a specific officer configuration (in other words a specific rank bar + code cylinder + belt box + glove + sidearm + any other accessory configuration).  Again, for "generic" CRLs, this isn't spelled out as a L3 requirement.  As long as the applicant's individual costume pieces meet CRL criteria and they are in a configuration that makes sense for that costume (for example: no OT rank bar with Rogue One belt boxes), we will not require that the applicant pick a specific officer configuration and emulate them.
 
We still encourage applicants to emulate a specific officer configuration since that's the easiest way to be really really accurate  and it's a way to show love to a favorite canon officer , but again, this is only if the applicant wants to.
 
 
3. One submission per CRL/version
 
In the past, multiple L3 submissions have been allowed on a single CRL, due to the requirement that applicants emulate an on-screen officer.  Some applicants were then able to rack up many L3 awards on a single costume by switching accessories (for example: submitting their line officer as Admiral Piett, then General Tagge, then Captain Needa). Instead, we propose to allow only one L2 and one L3 submission for an approved costume on a single discrete CRL.  
 
The exception to this will be for CRLs with version tabbing.  An applicant can submit one L2 and one L3 submission for each version of a CRL.  For example, Krennic has four version tabs, so someone could conceivably submit four L2 and four L3 applications if they have all the required options.

My flashback Krennic has been approved after the removal of the grey hair requirement so I am very happy about it. I attached an image for you guys

I bid a fond farewell to the staff of the IOC.  It's been an honor and a privilege to serve the IOC for the past 8 years.  
 
So good luck to all, I'll still be around to advise, but I now fly into the wild blue yonder.
 

Here are screencaps of the Officer, the ISB Agent, and the Death Trooper on Tatooine. If I compare the color of the officer's boots to the clothing of the ISB Agent then the clothing looks black to me. The tunic of the officer is light to medium gray and the yoke of the ISB Agent is dark gray.
 

Hello, the head circumference I used as a base for the model was 60cm. Here are the dimensions for both width and lenght. If you print it please let me know, I want to see how it looks in real life!
 

I'm also doing the RK-3 Blaster for 3D printing

I'm working in my office. Our museum is closed, so I don't have too much contact with people. But we don't know what will come. We don't have visitors, we don't have lessons with children, some events are cancelled... Schools in Poland are closed till Easter (but I think it will be much longer). Fortunately I live in small city and my museum is in a village, so... we will see.
 
Free time I spend with my children playing games, drawning and model making... I'm working on my ISB agent costume, but slow and my Star Wars diorama...
And we trying not gone mad.

Hey IOC,
 
Who's all our Emergency Service Professionals?  Firefighters, EMS, Medical, Police?  Please post and be recognised.
We thank you for all you're doing and all that you're sacrificing to help others!!
 

Hello IOC, 
 
How's everyone holding up all over the Earth?  Who's still working?  Who's holed up at home?  How is everyone passing the time?
 
As of today, I'm still working.  Luckily, I've been local, so not the travel that I sometimes have to do.  I have been feeling safe up until yesterday.  One of my coworkers came back from Florida, at the beach, and she came right back from work...I hope all will be well, but we'll see.
 
Let's hold tight and we'll all get thru this.

I am still working at this stage, most of Australia hasn't locked down yet though, my job involves physical work and limited contact with others so as long as my co-workers and myself are safe and don't come in contact with anyone infected we hopefully won't shut-down.
Have heard of others who have lost their livelihood due to most outdoor sporting and entertainment venues barring spectators.

I'm a nurse so I will be working throughout, my thoughts are with everyone who may not be able to work during this time. Hopefully everyone can use a bit of common sense and not take any unnecessary risks and we can all get through this quickly and safely.
 
Stay safe my fellow officers!  

I'm working from home, kids and wife are home from school.
 
I wish my job took this more seriously, but at least we finally have a way to not be in the office.

Life is pretty much the same for me except the forums are empty 

My school has moved all the classes online, so I have that to entertain me while sitting at home.

I'm doing ok. Still working. But if Ohio shuts down we are jobless for a while.

Doing fine here...My team was fortunate to be able to work from home, so now I'm working from home.  A lot of people where I work don't have that option.
Not trooping is giving more time to work on costumes...now if the weather would cooperate....

My school is closed until April 13th. So far. I should know in a couple of weeks if the rest of the school year will be cancelled.
The state of Iowa was fortunate to have 20 or less confirmed cases of the wuhan virus until yesterday. In the past 48 hours our number has increased by 45.
At least I can still get in the car and drive around town. Don't have to shelter at home. Yet.
At this time there are only 4 confirmed cases in my county/city.
My wife is a nurse at a local hospital so I should have more information when she gets home tomorrow morning.
 
Be safe everyone and follow the guidelines provided by your local, county and state governments.
 

As a first responder I’m still working. Kids are home from school and the wife is now working from home. I start nights this week so sleeping all day while everyone is home should prove interesting. I hope this is controlled soon, would really like to get back to normal life.

In South East Asia, Malaysia just have a lockdown few days ago. Singapore is still going and fighting. 

XD I am pretty much trying to top up fabric and paper stuff incase of a lock down 

Knocking out my TK during quarantine. Got basic approval about a week ago. Just the other night I got EIB. I'm working on Centurion now! 
Stay safe everyone! 

All the theaters are closed in Austria and all my performances of the last week got cancelled. So I'm staying at home, trying to learn for my diploma examination which is postponed into May instead of April. In the meanwhile I'm reading poems and put them on my new YouTube channel to have some sort of creative distraction.
 
May you all stay save and healthy!
