GM_Kadann | Welcome all to another Vast Empire meeting |
GM_Kadann | I just posted up the results for the best droid poll on the comnet, so go check it out to see if you're one of the lucky ones that are in the drawing |
GM_Kadann | we'll be doing the drawing here in a few minutes |
GM_Kadann | I just want to say good job on all the pay per click links |
GM_Kadann | we're climbing up the ranks and staying in high positions |
GM_Kadann | If you didnt notice, you can now see some of the top clickers (the top 10) |
GM_Kadann | so you'll be able to check your rankings among the pay per clickers |
GM_Kadann | Lets go ahead and do some division reports |
GM_Kadann | if someone has the Navy report, msg me now |
GM_Kadann | Fury, good to have you here again, you have the Army report? |
HG_Fury | I believe so. |
HG_Fury | I apologize for being away as much as I have. RL adventures do that sometimes. |
HG_Fury | First things first. The story has stagnated at Yag'Dhul. |
HG_Fury | This needs to be corrected. Hopefully I can take a moment of Admiral Japheth's time together to work on advancing the plot. |
| * HG_Fury looks up |
HG_Fury | Phrased wrong, but you get the idea. |
HG_Fury | Next up. We all have been getting a lot of recruits lately. Granted, some think they are merely joining a clan and are mentally incapable of grasping the entire grand strategy of this club. |
HG_Fury | Those we'll keep or lose. It is the other recruits I am concerned about. |
HG_Fury | Drill squad has always been an inefficient filter for our new members. |
HG_Fury | Despite the best efforts of Liquid and Cosmic and others, it just doesn't do exactly what it should to provide new members with an introduction to the Corps. |
HG_Fury | I'm sure the navy has the same problem. |
| * |RAD|KT|Japheth| nods vigorously. |
HG_Fury | For my part, I'm going to put up a thread on Army Main Comnet. |
HG_Fury | Give me your thoughts, especially you newer recruits, on what we could do to make that a better process. |
GM_Kadann | /join #vehc |
HG_Fury | We already have some thoughts from LT Rizzit and others, but let's open the floor to all members as well. |
HG_Fury | erm, CPT |
HG_Fury | CPT Rizzit, my bad. |
HG_Fury | nm |
HG_Fury | Okay, having messed that one up, let's move on. |
HG_Fury | I don't like poaching on other divisions, but I do like active troopers. |
HG_Fury | I would like to announce today the transfer of a naval officer to our ranks. He's done a great job for our flying comrades and comes to us fresh from retirement with a slight rank reduction. |
HG_Fury | Troopers, give a warm welcome to SFC LoneWolf who now joins the Dark Dragoons. |
HG_Fury | Well, he's gonna be shy I guess. |
DJK_LoneWolf | um thank you for the welcome i hope to serve the army as well as i have done for the navy |
HG_Fury | Thank you for weighing the option to come over. Glad to have you with us. |
| * DJK_LoneWolf salutes and steps down |
HG_Fury | I need to catch up with the story and work on new orders for us. |
HG_Fury | I also need to consolidate the earlier recommendations for promotion and recognition throughout the first two phases of the chapter. All SLs are on notice to send in any updated lists througout the week. |
HG_Fury | Keep up the good work folks. That's all from the army this week. |
GM_Kadann | Thank you Fury |
GM_Kadann | Japheth, you have the Navy report this week? |
|RAD|KT|Japheth| | Yeah |
|RAD|KT|Japheth| | Well, Naval activity has, unfortunately, been on the steady decline. Our story thread for Chapter 8 stagnated early on and has only fitfully revived itself a few times before its last post half a month ago. |
|RAD|KT|Japheth| | Timeline-wise, its quite a bit behind the Army's thread. Hopefully we can catch it up and reinspire some interest in it. |
|RAD|KT|Japheth| | Activity in the Navy has, in general, been lower than I'd like recently. I think I may post a thread on the Navy Main Comnet regarding this and take any input anyone, regardless of division, may have. |
|RAD|KT|Japheth| | On the bright side of things, recruitment is up |
|RAD|KT|Japheth| | Lt Liquid informs me that all of the trainees currently remaining on the training roster have sent him a bounceback email, and so hopfully we can get them moved over to active status soon. |
|RAD|KT|Japheth| | If all of them were to become active, we would need to reopen a second squadron, something I am all too willing to do. |
|RAD|KT|Japheth| | Now, if LucasArts would just grace us with another SpaceSim game... |
|RAD|KT|Japheth| | Anyway... |
|RAD|KT|Japheth| | I think thats all from the Navy this week. |
GM_Kadann | Thank you Japheth |
GM_Kadann | From looking at the pay per click directory, Caleb has been clicking like a mad man...keep it up |
GM_Kadann | You all have some clicking to do in order to catch him |
GM_Kadann | Now for what you've all been waiting for.......droid drawing time |
GM_Kadann | this week, the best droid is the MixRMastR Commercial Bartender Droid |
GM_Kadann | Someone will be having some drinks today |
GM_Kadann | first person to msg me gets to roll the dice |
GM_Kadann | *poke* - someone msg me |
GM_Kadann | Looks like JR will be rolling the dice today |
SSG_JR | yay |
GM_Kadann | go ahead and type !d8 |
SSG_JR | !d8 |

SSG_JR | danm it |

| * SSG_JR starts swearing rapidly |
GM_Kadann | Thanks JR |
GM_Kadann | Hashi, you'll receive your autographed MixRMastR Commercial Bartender Droid shortly |
GM_Kadann | I have a server update from Stonefish |
GM_Kadann | I'll let him say something about that |
SGM_Stonefish|LCRW_Jaerin | Thanks |
SGM_Stonefish|LCRW_Jaerin | Some of you may have read on the comnet that I recently changed providers, and now have a full dedicated server box to myself |
SGM_Stonefish|LCRW_Jaerin | This means that I can provide more game servers for us to play on |
SGM_Stonefish|LCRW_Jaerin | Currently, I have two JK2 servers running |
SGM_Stonefish|LCRW_Jaerin | The first is sabers only, limited force, and is on 195.20.109.112:28070 |
SGM_Stonefish|LCRW_Jaerin | The second is Guns and FF on 195.20.109.112:28071 |
SGM_Stonefish|LCRW_Jaerin | I have limited them to only 8 players each |
SGM_Stonefish|LCRW_Jaerin | I am also presently running (in place of the previously advertised UT server) a Joint Operations cooperative server |
SGM_Stonefish|LCRW_Jaerin | You'll find this named 'PsychoFish's server' in the server browser for International Novaworld |
SGM_Stonefish|LCRW_Jaerin | That's about all for now, I'll post on the Comnet when I change things |
SGM_Stonefish|LCRW_Jaerin | Let me know if you have a map request |
GM_Kadann | Thanks Stonefish |
GM_Kadann | I'll get those things also added to the vastempire.com gaming server list |
SGM_Stonefish|LCRW_Jaerin | :) |
GM_Kadann | Thats all for this week...thanks to all for coming |
HG_Fury | For the record, the MixRMastR Commercial Bartender Droid is on sale at Imperial Center with more to come in stock later this week. |
