LMS - Last Man Standing.. Not FMS (First Man Standing) - This game is for night time only, not morning, afternoon, or evening.. NIGHT TIME ONLY!!

At night while most of the world is sleeping there are some members which are looking to socialize since they have no one else to speak to; they play a really exciting and fun game which basically every couple minutes you write a comment, the comments range from standing to sleeping, from young grasshoppers to old grasshoppers. it usually begins around 1:00 am EDT

RULES OF THE GAME:

1) Game starts at 1am Eastern, 12am Central, 11pm mountain, 10pm pacific... You get the point.
2) Anyone can call a roll call, just make a reply with "Roll Call". The roll call must be readable to the naked eye.
3) No more than one roll call every thirty minutes.
4) You have 30 minutes to respond to the roll call to stay active.
5) To respond to a roll call just post a reply with "Here" or "y y y"
6) If after one hour there are no more "Roll Calls" or "Heres", then the last person to post correctly either by calling a roll call or with a reply of "here" is declared winner of LMS.
7)You must have been awake for at least 12 hours before making or answering a RC.



OR IN SHORT:

When someone calls for a roll call. No more than one every 30 minutes and you have 30 minutes to respond "Here".

its almost comical the way discrimination of the highest levels in Arab countries is brushed to the side while Israel sneezes and the world condemns.
Case in point: Qatar Airways (along with the other gulf carriers)

It's in Milwaukee. Some guy who lives on the approach to the airport painted that on his roof to troll passengers.

Any grammar Natzis around? I知 writing an instruction manual and am stuck:
 
In A:B mode, only groups A and B fire, and power output for groups A and B is set at a ratio.

I believe number 2. I always thought that "is" is singular while "are" is meant for plural.

Option 2 reads better

option 1 is correct i think
is it 1 output, or different outputs?

Problem is the subject may be either the singular "power output" or the plural "groups".

the subject is not groups
its the power output
for groups a and b is a prepositional phrase

ya i think that would be better
if its a separate output for each group, then it should probably be outputs and are

It seems like the subject here is "power output".

"Outputs" is not an option since each output is part of a whole. That means the total output doesn't change; the power only gets distributed differently between the groups.

I'm also bound by the industry nomenclature, which dictates "output", even though it may not be 100% correct.

Here's a bit more context:

The VS-570C offers three wireless TTL master modes, which are ABC, A:B, and A:B+C.
 
- In ABC mode, all three groups fire at the same power output.

- In A:B mode, only groups A and B fire, and power output for groups A and B is set at a ratio. For example, if the A:B ratio is set at 2:1, group A fires at twice the power of group B.

- In A:B+C mode, all three groups fire. As in A:B mode, power output for groups A and B is set at a ratio. Additionally, group C is the same power output as group B and is adjusted by EV. For example, if the A:B ratio is set at 2:1, and group C is set at -2 EV, group B will fire at 1/2 the power of group A, while group C will fire at 1/4 the power of group B. In this scenario, group C will be 1/8 the power of group A. For more information on EV, refer to Using Flash Exposure Compensation on page XX.
