-======Crest Waitlist======
+======Waitlist======
-The Valhalla Project is using a new waitlist system built and maintained by Aygo Swagtomo. Where the old wait list functions primary using the old and now removed In Game Browser with basic added crest functionality the new waitlist is designed around crest using it to function as efficiently as possible. This guide is aimed at explaining how the new waitlist works, and is here to answer questions you may have.
+We use a website-based waitlist system to allow players to queue up for fleet, and for FCs to efficiently manage their fleet and perform invites.
-=====What is the Purpose of the Waitlist======
+You should read through this page and familiarise yourself with usage of the waitlist.
-The Waitlist is a  tool used by The Valhalla Project, it is aimed at helping our FCs more efficiently manage fleet invites. You can think of it as a **digital cue system**.
-The waitlist does this by letting pilots x-up with fits and roles they are willing to take, giving the FC a list of those pilots in the order they waitlist up in, and then has a two click - invite function.
+=====Authentication=====
+The waitlist allows you to login using your EVE Online character through CCP's Single-Sign-On (SSO) API. If this sounds meaningless to you then basically just know this:
-=====Using the Waitlist=====
+  * We do not receive your user account details, just a special token which CCP sends to us after you finish authenticating.
-//This section is aimed at public pilots, for FC info click <wrap em>[[fc:crestwaitlist|FC Waitlist Guide]]</wrap> - **Note: FC wiki access required to view that guide.**//
+  * The token allows us to access certain pieces of information about your character which will be shown when you authenticate, as of now, we require access to the following information:
+    * **characterCloneRead** - Allows us to check your implants.
+    * **characterLocationRead** - Allows us to check that you are online, and if you are online, which system you are in.
+    * **characterNavigationWrite** - Allows us to set your destination on your client for you, not currently used but will be used to allow you to set destination to the HQ system by clicking on it.
+    * **characterSkillsRead** - Allows us to view your skills and check them to ensure they meet our minimums, we will also check periodically that you are skilling up and improving your efficiency over time.
-====Sections of the Waitlist====
+<WRAP group>
-The new user interface has four sections for use by public members:
+<WRAP 65% half column>
-  * Character Information Section (Dark blue section on the right hand side of the waitlist - login/out)
+To login, simply click the **Log in with EVE Online** button in the sidebar on the homepage and then follow the instructions on the CCP website.
-  * Fleet Status Section (Green or Red section on the left hand side of the waitlist - Shows if a fleet is active, who the FCs are what system the FC is in, status of the fleet, and the size of the waitlist.)
-  * Waitlist Section (Light Blue section in the center of the waitlist - allows you to select roles, see your position in the waitlist and test your teamspeak poke (if you have waitlisted) and write a comment to the FC)
-  * Manage fits (Dark blue section at the bottom - add and remove fits)
-====Character Information=====
-===Login===
-//Dark blue box on the right of the waitlist. Allows a user to log in, view their permission set (User/Fleet Admin) and log out.//
-    - Click the log in CREST button - This will re-direct you to the Eve Online website, from here login with the account and password associated with the character you wish to use. The log in happens on the CCP servers and is authenticated by CCP. We do not get any of this information all account data is protected by CCP under the EULA.
-    - Select your character - on the **Authorize** page, you can select your character by clicking on the name of the character that shows up, and selecting the name of the character you wish to log in as. Please note if you log in with the wrong character we will not be able to invite you to fleet.
-    - **__Grant the required scopes:__**
-         * characterCloneRead - allows us to view your implant set (if applicable)
-         * characterLocationRead - allows us to view what system the character you log in with is in. This way we do not invite you to fleet if you are not near by
-         * characterNavigationWrite - allows you to set your autopilot destination to the FC's system by clicking in the system name on the public page.
-         * characterSkillsRead - allows us to view your skills and check them against our skill requirements, this eliminates the need for pilots to make and give us access to their Eveboards.
-You are now logged in, you can confirm what character you logged in with by looking at your character portrait and name.
+Please do not:
+  * Revoke the waitlist's access from the CCP website, this will force you to login again.
+  * Attempt to interfere with the authentication process in any way: the system has auto-detection in place for if you attempt to remove requested scopes before authenticating, and will lock you out from the waitlist pending administrator action.

-===Log out===
+=====Viewing and Interpreting the Fleet Status=====
-If you have logged in with the wrong character or you wish to waitlist up with a different character click the **Log Out** button next to your character name on the **Character Info** section of the waitlist.
+<WRAP group>
+<WRAP 65% half column>
+On the left hand side of the waitlist, there will be a box displaying the current fleet status.
-====Fleet Status=====
+When there are no active fleets, this box will be red and will state "No Active Fleets" with no further information displayed. During this status, no one can join the waitlist. Generally if this status is displayed it means we have just moved to a new focus, the fleet has been down for a significant amount of time or the fleet is down for EVE downtime and will be restarted as soon as possible after EVE downtime concludes.
-This box has two states, if a fleet is running the box will be green, be titled "Fleet Up" and will list the following information:
-  * FC - The person in charge of the fleet
-  * Backseat - The FC who is overseeing a training FC
-  * System - The system the fleet is in
-  * Status - the status of the fleet
-  * Waitlist Info:
-        * DPS - number of people and wait time
-        * Snipers - number of people and wait time
-        * Logistics - number of people and wait time
-  If there are no active fleets running on the waitlist the box will be red and say ** No Fleets Active**.
-====Waitlist====
-This section allows you to select the roles you are willing to take, write a comment to the FC, and waitlist up.
-Once you are on the waitlist you can change your comment or roles by adjusting the appropriate information and clicking **Update**, unless you remove all of your fits, clicking update will not make you loose your place. When you are on the waitlist there will also be a **test poke** button, and it will display what cues you are in, and what your position is in each of those cues.
+At all other times, the following information will be displayed:
+  * **FC** - The current Fleet Commander
-====Manage Fits=====
+  * **Backseat** - If FC training is taking place, this will indicate the senior FC overseeing the training and ensuring fleet safety is not compromised.
+  * **System** - The system the FC is in.
+  * **Status** - The status of the fleet:
+    * **Forming** - The fleet is currently docked and forming up, invites are being performed and the FC will undock as soon as the fleet is ready.
+    * **Active** - The fleet is currently undocked and running sites.
+    * **Standing Down Imminently** - The fleet is on its last site and will dock up immediately after it, it is unlikely any additional invites will be performed.
+    * **Docked** - The fleet is docked and stood down temporarily for an unknown reason.
+    * **Docked, Awaiting FC** - The fleet is docked and stood down temporarily awaiting the arrival of a qualified FC.
+    * **Kundalini** - The fleet is either preparing to, or currently running the Kundalini Manifest site (final site of the incursion). The fleet can hold up to 80 people for this site so if you see this status, get on the waitlist quickly!
+  * **Members** - The number of members in the active wing, if this number is less than 40 then invites will be due out as soon as the FC gets to them.
+  * **Waitlist Info** - Shows the number of people waiting in each queue, please note that the same person can be on multiple queues, e.g. if there are 3 DPS, 3 Snipers and 3 Logi this could be the same 3 people in all 3 queues!
+    * **DPS** - Vindicators (and newbro Hyperions)
+    * **Snipers** - Machariels and Nightmares (and newbro Maelstroms)
+    * **Logistics** - Basilisks and Scimitars

-=====FAQ=====
-====Logging In====
-**[[guides:crestwaitlist#character_information|For information on the Scopes requested click here]]**
-**Why do I have to Login Twice?**
+Simply tick the roles you are willing to perform (or learn!) and then click the **Join Waitlist** button.
-When you go to log in, you are required to accept a limited amount of permissions to allow the waitlist to work. If you are an FC however we require extra permissions to for fill FC duty's such as CREST invites, so you will be redirected to log in a second time. When this is completed you are fully logged in, you are now able to FC.
+If you wish, you can enter a comment which the FC can read when viewing your waitlist entry. Please keep comments short and relevant: //"Fast invite please!"// is a pointless comment. //"I would like to try out voicing (FCing)"// would be an example of a useful comment.
-====Joining the Waitlist====
-**Why do I have to re-tick roles I'm willing to do every time I waitlist?**
+**Why do I have to re-tick roles I'm willing to do every time I waitlist?**\\
 This is to ensure that all users who tick the boxes for roles are willing and able to do them for the session. This allows us to enforce the fact that people who tick the boxes for roles should volunteer when asked and ends the previous system of everyone ticking the boxes and then claiming they forgot to untick the box and are feeling very tired. This way FCs can give the priority invites (when needed) to the people who are really willing to do the roles.
+====Automated Checks====
+When you click the **Join Waitlist** button, the system will perform a number of checks and then you will be redirected to the homepage when the process is complete. The following checks are performed:
+  - Your ships are checked to ensure at least one of them is a ship we accept in fleet. Please note that at this time we do not automatically check fits, your fit will be checked when the FC wishes to invite you. To avoid delays please ensure you are flying a fully doctrine fit.
+  - The system checks if you are online (logged in to EVE Online).
+  - The system checks that you meet our absolute minimum skill requirements for all of the ships you have added.
+  - The system checks that there are no active bans on your character, corporation or alliance.
+  - The system checks whether you have a valid Ascendancy clone and records this detail.

-====Waiting for an Invite====
+=====Ascendancy Clone Checker======
-**I was in position #1 but for DPS but another DPS pilot was invited instead of me, what happened?**
+When you join the waitlist, the system checks whether your active clone contains the following implants:
+  * **High-Grade Ascendancy Alpha**
-Invites are issued at the active FC's discretion. If there is heavy contesting happening, or there is particularly high demand for the fleet, they may choose to occasionally skip basic fits in favour of advanced fits to keep the fleet running fast.
+  * **High-Grade Ascendancy Beta**
+  * **High-Grade Ascendancy Gamma**
-**TeamSpeak says "Not Found" but I am on TeamSpeak, what should I do?**
+  * **High-Grade Ascendancy Delta**
+  * **High-Grade Ascendancy Epsilon**
-Please ensure your TeamSpeak name matches your in-game character name exactly, including spaces, capitals and any symbols, then click the "Re-check" button and the waitlist will attempt to verify that you are online again.
+  * **Eifyr and Co. 'Rogue' Warp Drive Speed WS-618** or **High-Grade Ascendancy Omega**
-**Will I lose my place if I change my fits?**
-Please ensure you always have at least one fit in your fit management area to avoid losing your waitlist place. If you wish to update a fit, please add the new fit and then delete the old one. You will be warned by the system if removing a fit will lose your waitlist position.
+If you have all of these implants, you will see "**Ascendancy Clone?** **YES**" on your waitlist status information. The active FC will see a lightning bolt next to your name on the waitlist, allowing them to prioritize invites for players with Ascendancies during contesting times, or at any other time they see fit.
