GM_Kadann | Welcome all to another Vast Empire meeting |
GM_Kadann | Thanks to those that showed up today |
GM_Kadann | If someone has the Navy report, msg me now |
GM_Kadann | As you probably noticed, the total post count routines have been updated to reflect a more fair post count |
GM_Kadann | excluding those threads that are used to boost post count totals |
GM_Kadann | therefore, in order to raise in ComNet post rank, you'll have to post more relevent information |
GM_Kadann | Lets go ahead and start on the division reports |
GM_Kadann | Fury, you have the Army report today? |
HG_Fury | Yes sir. |
HG_Fury | First off, it appears that our mission on Bestine is over. If anyone wants to wrap up some issues you have a few more days before we call it a wrap. |
HG_Fury | Next, we are evaluating the current ARC team members and there will be some changes in the near future. Also, a new mission. Stay tuned. |
HG_Fury | As you may have noticed, there is a new Holiday Squad Competition coming online. Big thanks to Rizzit and Raziel for putting this together and to Cosmic for conjuring up a website to track the activity. |
HG_Fury | Get a hold of your squad leaders, check Comnet, get on IRC to set up game matches and just be as active as you can be. |
HG_Fury | We have some kudos to pass along today. |
HG_Fury | The following stormtroopers are promoted to the designated ranks due to their activity in their squad, particularly through Chapter 8: |
HG_Fury | Giovanni Bryden - LCP |
HG_Fury | Sandwich Sam - CPL |
HG_Fury | Zafo - CPL |
HG_Fury | Congrats to all of them. |
HG_Fury | We have one more piece of outstanding news to deal with. |
HG_Fury | Sergeant Major Ramon Stonefish, please step forward. |
| * SGM_Stonefish looks up |
HG_Fury | You have been an advocate of increased gaming in this club and have gone to great lengths to provide the means for that. I don't think this has been recognized enough. |
HG_Fury | Therefore, you are awarded the Red Crescent of Devotion [RCoD] - A medal for the members of the Army that have increased morale and activity by keeping the attitude of the Army during hard times light and energetic. |
HG_Fury | It's a small token of our appreciation for your contributions. |
HG_Fury | Thank you. |
| * HG_Fury salutes |
SGM_Stonefish | Oooh, shiny |
| * SGM_Stonefish salutes |
HG_Fury | indeed |
HG_Fury | And for fun, a million credits is being deposited into your account. |
HG_Fury | Don't spend it all in one place. |
HG_Fury | Wait! Do. |
| * SGM_Stonefish flicks to the Captial Ships section and looks to see if he can afford one yet |
SGM_Stonefish | thanks |
HG_Fury | You are most welcome. |
HG_Fury | With that happy business complete, this concludes the army report for this week. |
GM_Kadann | Thank you Fury |
GM_Kadann | Talon, you have a report from the DJO? |
SM_DJM_Talon|COM_CEO_Claw | I do, thanks. |
SM_DJM_Talon|COM_CEO_Claw | After a mission to help break a choke point on Bestine IV, the Dark Jedi Order has pulled back to Lopen. We've needed to catch a couple of our newer members up in the storyline, as they joined while their character was on that battlefield. |
SM_DJM_Talon|COM_CEO_Claw | Those that are in the DJO are in for some fun stories. I've been planning a few things with certain members that should keep everyone entertained. |
SM_DJM_Talon|COM_CEO_Claw | Chances are, we will be spending some time on Lopen as we're about to shuffle the Order around a bit. Expect to see physical changes. |
SM_DJM_Talon|COM_CEO_Claw | While I have everyone's ear, I'm going go to straight into my OO report. |
SM_DJM_Talon|COM_CEO_Claw | After securing Bestine IV, it's time for the VE to rebuild and prepair for more. This is why the push to the Core is going to take a long time. It's not going to be a clean sweep the whole way there. |
SM_DJM_Talon|COM_CEO_Claw | Nothing has been confirmed yet, but intel suggests the NR is far from pleased with us. We might see some retaliation from them. The Navy's High Council has been shifting their focus to defense of our systems as a result. More info as it comes. |
SM_DJM_Talon|COM_CEO_Claw | Now.. roleplaying aside, some of you know that I'm in the US Navy. Those that don't... well, I am. I've been in training for a long time and it's finally time for me to do my job. December 16th I graduate my class and head to my sub. Because of the boat's schedule we're getting ready to go underway as soon as I get there. Don't expect to see much of me around Christmas. After the first of the year, I expect I'll be under water. |
SM_DJM_Talon|COM_CEO_Claw | Sorry.. typed too long. "I expect I'll be under water." |
SM_DJM_Talon|COM_CEO_Claw | I hope to have the story at a nice stopping point where the divisions can do smaller missions. After I come back I'd like to hit it hard again. |
SM_DJM_Talon|COM_CEO_Claw | I'm still trying to gather ideas from the masses. If you have some idea of what you'd like to see happen, post it in the thread on ComNet. |
SM_DJM_Talon|COM_CEO_Claw | aaaand.. I'm spent. |
SM_DJM_Talon|COM_CEO_Claw | Thanks. |
GM_Kadann | Thanks Talon |
GM_Kadann | We wish you luck on your sub trips with the US Navy |
GM_Kadann | and...May the Force be with you |
GM_Kadann | Japheth, you have the Navy report? |
| * |VAD|KPT|Japheth| nods. |
|VAD|KPT|Japheth| | The Navy has recently finished its encounter at Thyferra. I'll be posting a wrap up to that as soon as I can dig up enough consecutive free time. |
|VAD|KPT|Japheth| | There has been a lot of talk about reports on the Kaph board |
|VAD|KPT|Japheth| | They are vitally important, and I'm glad that the squadron commander has been stressing them. Its hard for me to give a substantial report without them. |
|VAD|KPT|Japheth| | That said, I don't think I ever got one from Kaph squadron this week. Ironic. |
|VAD|KPT|Japheth| | In the event of not actually sending it to me, flight leaders and squadron commander should feel free to make use of the much-neglected commander's comnet. It hasn't seen any love in a while. |
| * HG_Fury mutters something similar |
|VAD|KPT|Japheth| | Besides that, only a few short notes: |
|VAD|KPT|Japheth| | 1) I'm planning the next mission for Kaph, it'll hopefully be out by the end of the week, providing school doesn't eat my brain. |
|VAD|KPT|Japheth| | 2) Squadron commanders and flight leaders should start thinking of recommending people for medals and promotions, its been a LONG time since anyone has gotten any and its about damn time. |
|VAD|KPT|Japheth| | 3) Go out and recruit! We only really need a few more really active pilots (say, 3 or 4) before we can afford to open another squadron. |
|VAD|KPT|Japheth| | And with that, I'm done. |
GM_Kadann | Thanks Japheth |
GM_Kadann | If anyone has anything to add, msg me now |
GM_Kadann | Guess not....This meeting is over |
