Here are some frequently asked questions asked by BLACKOUT members.

This list is always subject to change and update.

Do I Have to Attend a Basic Training in Order to Join Events?

No, at Blackout, we allow freedom for our members so new members are allowed to attend all events. The only events that do have restrictions are operations and divisional tryouts.

Do I Have to Always Be Active or Will I Get Kicked Out For Inactivity?

No, we understand that people have things to do so we allow for those who are inactive to come and join us whenever they feel like they have free time.

Where Can I See Where The Events Are Being Hosted?

To start off, an officer will start with an event poll in the #event-poll channel to see which type of event people want to see. From there, officers will announce the event in the #event channel.

How Do I Check How Many Points I Have?

You can check how many points you have in #bot-commands in the Discord server and do "p!bal"

What Uniform/Weapons Do I Use?

Check Uniform and Standard Issue Weapons either in our discord or on this site.

What Are Squadrons?

We have three squadrons: Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie. Squadron Alpha are those who are in European and African timezones. Squadron Bravo are those who are in the American timezones. Squadron Charlie are those who are in Asian and Oceanian timezones.

What are Departments?

Departments are for those who are interested in further improving BLACKOUT internally and externally. We currently have six departments:

• Department of Recruitment - Recruits new operatives into BLACKOUT

Accreditations are certifications after passing a certain event.
