This guide will help you navigate the BFMS to report activity not automatically recorded by the system.  
The '''Bravo Fleet Gaming Policy''' defines how gaming ribbons are awarded and which games are officially supported by the Gaming Office.  


=== General Activity Reporting ===
==1 — Overview==
All of the types of activity in this section are reported directly by you, and are nominated for the appropriate ribbons by your Task Force staff. If you're not sure what something counts for, report it, and we'll figure out if it's eligible for something on our end.
# Bravo Fleet officially supports two video games:
## Star Trek Online
## World of Warships (PC Only)
# Gaming Nights are synchronous events organized by members under the coordination and approval of the Gaming Office.
## Information about organizing gaming nights is found in the [[Guide:Gaming_Nights|Gaming Nights Guide]].


You do not need to report the following items: fiction (these awards come automatically), placement in competitions, promotions, staff positions, awards, or your Discord level. '''You do not need to report anything that shows up on the front-end of your dossier, which includes ribbons, medals, or ''placing'' in competitions.''' These items are checkable by the staff in other ways. Video game activity reporting is covered in the next section.
==2 — Gaming Awards==
# As defined by the Office of the Chief of Staff, there are three awards related to gaming:
## Strategic Action Ribbons, awarded for solo gaming actions.
### Members may only earn 20 Combat Action Ribbons per day.
## Combat Action Ribbons, awarded for group gaming actions.
### Members may only earn 50 Combat Action Ribbons per day.
## Campaign Ribbons, awarded for meeting long-term gaming goals.
# Members earn gaming awards by submitting their gaming activity to the gaming activity form on the BFMS with a screenshot that clearly identifies the activity in question and the member(s) participating in it.
## Submissions for Combat Action Ribbons should only be made once per action, with one member submitting a screenshot, the BFMS IDs of the other members, and a list of which in-game handle or screen name matches each BFMS ID.
## Officially supported games have defined formulae for earning gaming awards.
## Groups of members may play non-supported games to earn Combat Action Ribbons, as described in Section 5.


It's a good idea to report the following items: completing academy courses, competition entries, competitions organized, joining RPGs, social media follows, and having joined the STO fleet.  
==3 — Star Trek Online ==
#Bravo Fleet has officially supported in-game fleets on PC (Federation and Klingon) and on XBOX (Klingon Only), which provide members with various resources and perks.
#Members may also earn ribbons for STO gaming in factions or on platforms where Bravo Fleet does not maintain an official presence.


# Go to the Dashboard and click "Record Activity." It is on the top left of the dashboard, under the site menu.
=== 3.1 — STO Awards ===
# In the "Activity Label" box list the the category of activity (competition organized, competition entered, RPG post, etc.).
## You should separate your activity reports by type (rather than putting everything all in one report) to make it easier for staff to read and process.
# Describe the activity you are recording
## For simple actions like following Facebook or Twitter, joining the STO fleet, or joining an RPG, just note that.
## For competition entries, list the competition(s) you entered
## For competitions organized, provide a URL to the competition itself. NB: you can only generally get credit once the competition has been finished and graded.
## For anniversaries (to earn dedication ribbons) just list your Bravo Fleet join date.
# Hit "Submit for Review," which will notify your unit staff to check your activity and make any appropriate nominations.
## Once nominated, the system will show that the activity has been approved by the staffer who did so.
# If necessary, repeat the process for other activity types.
Once you have submitted your activity report, your TF staff will be able to nominate you for the appropriate item, if applicable. Note: promotions at the junior officer ranks are also listed on your activity tracker as a series of milestones. It's not necessary for you to note which of these you are attempting to complete, or to list particular items you'd like to be used, as TF staff will select the most efficient path for you to advance.
