D13 Status Report
Hey sports fans,
Now that D13 has experienced it's first spontaneous mission, you can expect a punishment and evaluation log to go up within about a week. Backtagging the mission is still totally alright and encouraged, but in the interest of keeping the pace and understanding what your character's will experience, we'd like everyone to know what punishments or rewards they're in for.
In order for this to happen, all D13ers will need to check into this post and rate your character's performance. It's up to you to do a small summary or just a few words, remember that D13 is looking for ruthlessness and efficiency so anything that prompts hesitation or weakness in your character would be an example of poor performance. This round in particular is special because there was no real success.
In a related note, D13 characters can expect a surprise of sorts that will be set after their punishments but the post may arrive before then. As usual, the quicker this gets done, the quicker character's can receive their evaluations. It should not impact their reactions too much, nobody will receive immediate severe punishments.

Send a strongly worded note.
So the following is pinned below his evaluation on the bulletin board not long after the results went up.]
To Whom It May Concern;
In light of this training mission's outcome, I must lodge a formal complaint for how it was presented and run and the post mission rating criteria used. My complaints are as follows:
Being expected to fulfill a mission objective when no such objective was given at the start of the exercise. This too goes for an apparently expected understanding that we should have attempted to use the tools given to us individually during the mission. In this scenario, we were given no briefing and no objective, instead made to awaken and simply react. As we took the situation to be real, it was prudent for each member of the group to play to their strengths and therefore redistribute supplies where they could be most useful. Which according to your rubric was wrong. So too, your rubric scores us on "accomplishing what was required," when we were not told what was required in the first place.
I understand the need for training exercises; I have conducted many in my own time and world, but for said exercises to be effective, they must simulate actual real-world conditions, otherwise the reactions and outcomes are not based on the traits the test is supposed to measure but instead on uncertainty and other factors.
If similar takes place again, I will be taking up by grievances in person.
