TL;DR - Hail Caesar, for we who are about to be pixelated salute you!

mistake # 1 - i goofed on the fighter/upwell commands while rescuing the oracle (sent fighters accidentally off to another target when they were pounding that frigate tackling the oracle)
OP SUCCESS tho, because oracle got away cuz i spooked the enemy trying for vengeance for that lost ikitursa.

mistake # 2 - forgot that by grabbing the 36 grams i had no room to grab the fighters i launched to await them being abandoned at upwell destruction...i needed to make the choice and decided asset safety for the grams (next time i'll be able to prepare better)

mistake # 3 - messing up fleet creation...i needed to send target command broadcasts to help the oracle pick out my target, and i hadn't joined fleet and realized i didn't have standings...too much happening and i panicked...thus didn't get someone else in squad leader to invite manually

mistake # 4 - that damned target lock anchor was in the totally wrong position...it had been great when i was just soloing upwell defense...now it was in the way of eve-o preview badly...i could have started up my other version of preview which placed things on the far right...but panicked

mistake # 5 - i really should have focused on jamming the guardians only...i was trying to do too much with too little support from my erstwhile alliance mates who are usually online at this time...i won't comment on their state of mind but it's not comforting for sure.
hopefully i can get lucky hull timers that put my last stands after DT so Erroneous can pitch in.

mistake # 6 - i'm too hard on myself, we did fantastic...i could bitch at myself for not getting my suicide griffins off field, and that i was hamfisted with fighter commands...all in all though things worked almost as planned.

mistake # 7 - i committed the mwd griffins to the field and they all capped out. i believe the design philosophy was: "well, an mwd is when there's interceptors on the field and i'll be eventually warping off anyways so 2min is generous."
I'd actually meant to commit more expensive hulls that were cap stable, merely using the tethered griffins to lull folks into assuming that's what i'd use - except i wasn't quite organized yet by the time of the RF timer that i simply didn't have the time to swap ships.
This was actually the very first time i committed suicide griffins to a battle, and i was also surprised at the low numbers of guardians...i'm sure they counted on logi from leshaks to make the difference (and they're right, they do pump out a decent rep rate, especially if there's no neutral bumpers about)
