GM_Kadann | Welcome all to another Vast Empire meeting |
GM_Kadann | Thanks to those that came today |
GM_Kadann | As you all know, I was out all last week so am almost caught up with things |
GM_Kadann | Just as a reminder, we have the VE Anniversary celebration next Sunday starting at a regular meeting time |
GM_Kadann | I hope to see everyone there |
GM_Kadann | there will be quite a few events going on that day so make your best effort to be there |
GM_Kadann | Also, I will be saving the Imperial Lottery drawing for next Sunday during the Anniversary celebration |
GM_Kadann | The jackpot is up to 10,000,000 ICs, so make sure to get your tickets in before then |
GM_Kadann | Talon, do you have anything to report this week? |
SM_DJM_Talon|COM_CEO_Claw | I do, thanks. |
SM_DJM_Talon|COM_CEO_Claw | I've got a couple of things planned for the anniversary. I will be here to accept Jedi Knight challenges. My usual 2 million IC bounty will be upped to 5 million for that day only. Sharpen your rifles and grab your knife ammo. I'll be waiting for you. |
SM_DJM_Talon|COM_CEO_Claw | You haven't seen much coming from my desk lately, as I've been gone a lot. Sadly, it doesn't look like things will be slowing down any time soon. I know you've all been waiting on the rest of Chapter 8, but being gone for 3 months really made it hard to keep track of the situation in the story. We WILL make it out of this chapter... some time. ;) |
SM_DJM_Talon|COM_CEO_Claw | That's all I have for this week. |
GM_Kadann | Thanks Talon |
GM_Kadann | Also, I wanted to congratulate Willtconq for his efforts on the pay per click system |
GM_Kadann | He's reached past the 2000 click marker and is continueing his clicking routine |
GM_Kadann | Keep up the good work |
GM_Kadann | Fury, you have something from the Army this week? |
SM_Fury | I do. Something, but not a whole lot. |
SM_Fury | The good news is that I am getting reports and I thank the squad leaders for diligently keeping up with that. |
SM_Fury | As most of you know, SGM Stonefish has taken command of the new Nightstalker squad, which is going great guns right out of the gate. |
SM_Fury | He had a website up within hours and a training plan for his troops. |
SM_Fury | Take a bow, Fish |
| * SGM_Stonefish takes a bow, with a flourish |
| * SM_DJM_Talon|COM_CEO_Claw throws confetti |
SM_Fury | Thanks for all your hard work on what was a surprise appointment. |
SGM_Stonefish | Yay! |
| * SM_Fury salutes |
| * SGM_Stonefish salutes and returns to the ranks |
SM_Fury | I hate doing this, but I'm going to turn the rest of my report to personnel matters. |
SM_Fury | First off, if you are recruiting people, take special care to remind them of the rules of character names. |
SM_Fury | We've gotten some real winners lately, so if you can, get the word out on that. |
SM_Fury | Granted, this won't cover the average illiterate who refuses to read the rules as they find us. |
SM_Fury | And if you do see a new |
SM_Fury | "Darth" or "Admiral", let them know the score. |
SM_Fury | Next, I want to cover something I've dealt with in a less public situation, but feel it needs a bigger audience. |
SM_Fury | You know I loath having new members abused and insulted by people here and on ComNet. |
SM_Fury | We need new blood to keep us inspired, and running off those members does us no good. |
SM_Fury | This also applies to our leadership. |
SM_Fury | If you receive a new member in a squad, give them a chance. |
SM_Fury | Don't go headhunting because you have some urge to hold godlike powers. |
SM_Fury | Be aware of the needs of your troops and serve *them* and not your petty ambitions. |
SM_Fury | This is geared towards one person in particular but I want it to be a good object lesson to all of you regardless of position. |
SM_Fury | We serve the club, not a single squad or other unit. |
SM_Fury | That said, for new folks once in the system and serving in the ranks, your behavior is still held to a high standard. |
SM_Fury | We have, once again, a member who flaunts and abuses the system we have. |
SM_Fury | This member has been told to prove themselves worthy of membership in our ranks. |
SM_Fury | The desired result has not yet been met. |
SM_Fury | I give this person one week to step it up or be banished from us. |
SM_Fury | No insulting and cursing your squadmates. |
SM_Fury | No false comradery with the command staff. |
SM_Fury | No *cute* arguments to get out of situations. |
SM_Fury | Pass the word on. I'm done with morale-killing idiots in the ranks. |
SM_Fury | For the rest of you, keep up the good work. |
SM_Fury | Get moving on the stories and training. |
SM_Fury | Keep welcoming the new folks in as we get them. |
SM_Fury | Let me know what is on your mind and how I and your other leaders can work on improving things for you. |
SM_Fury | That is all. Have a good week folks. See you in hopefully happier times at the anniversary. |
GM_Kadann | Thank you Fury |
GM_Kadann | And thanks for addressing that point |
GM_Kadann | This club is about fun, so let's have some |
GM_Kadann | We need to all be friends here; so let's do that |
GM_Kadann | If someone has the Navy report, msg me now |
GM_Kadann | I guess not |
GM_Kadann | Make sure you're all at the Anniversary celebration next week |
GM_Kadann | We have a few surprizes for you that day ;) |
SM_DJM_Talon|COM_CEO_Claw | Kad's prengant? |
SM_DJM_Talon|COM_CEO_Claw | Oops... spoiled one of them. -_- |
GM_Kadann | That's all for this week; thanks to all who came |
GM_Kadann | doh |
GM_Kadann | shhhh |
GM_Kadann | Dismissed |
