GM_Kadann	Welcome all to another Vast Empire meeting
GM_Kadann	Thanks to those to made it today
GM_Kadann	I know finals are coming up this next week for those of you in College
GM_Kadann	So good luck with those
GM_Kadann	Starting on Friday of this next week, I'll be going on leave until Jan 10th
GM_Kadann	I'll be in CO visiting with the family and going skiing
GM_Kadann	I most likely won't be able to make it to the meetings, but I may be able to make a couple
GM_Kadann	No meetings on Dec 25th and Jan 1st
GM_Kadann	I'll just go ahead and say that now
GM_Kadann	Also, in case you all didn't notice the ComNet topic, I am advertising some web space that you could potentially make 1,000,000 ICs
GM_Kadann	So make sure to check that out
GM_Kadann	Let's go ahead and start with the Navy report today
GM_Kadann	Arturus, you had the Navy report?
ESN_Arturus	That week was a much more active week for the navy and I believe it is a sign of things to come. First of all, we had several new members join this week so a big welcome to all of them. Stay active and have fun!
ESN_Arturus	Kaph and Nazgul squadrons both have stories on the go at the moment. Kaph's started only a couple of days ago and is starting to get underway. Nazguls's started a the beginning of the week and the first phase is just about complete now. I must say, the posts have been well beyond expectation so congratulations to everyone for the excellent, detailed posts and the high frequency of them!
ESN_Arturus	Other than that, nothing else to report this week.
	* ESN_Arturus steps back
GM_Kadann	Thanks Arturus
GM_Kadann	Rizzit, you have the Army report today?
	* LTC_Rizzit shuffles through his papers. "yeah, somewhere around here."
LTC_Rizzit	ah! here it is
LTC_Rizzit	I've just been informed that our beloved "Fishy" a.k.a. Ramon Stonefish is going to be transferred to the reserves
LTC_Rizzit	this means that we have a squad without a leader
LTC_Rizzit	I have not reached a decision yet, and need to talk to Fury on it regaurdless : so hopefully Alasse can handle things in the meantime
LTC_Rizzit	on the story front
LTC_Rizzit	it seems that we're making progress on the final competition story, let's see if we cant finish that up in two weeks before the holidays
LTC_Rizzit	I've also noticed that you're making decent progress on your own individual stories, so you should all be commended for that
LTC_Rizzit	lastly, I noticed that some of our new recruits that made it to the squad level seem to be just dropping off like flies. Squad Leaders, I'm counting on you to see if you can motivate them back into activity unless they're on leave
LTC_Rizzit	and that's it for me today.
GM_Kadann	Thanks Rizzit
GM_Kadann	It doesn't look like anyone purchased any Imperial Lottery tickets for this week
GM_Kadann	So we'll go ahead and postpone the drawing until next week
GM_Kadann	The drawing will be for 20,000,000 ICs
GM_Kadann	So make sure to get your lottery tickets purchased before then
GM_Kadann	If anyone has anything else to add today, msg me now
GM_Kadann	Guess not
GM_Kadann	For those of you that are here today on IRC, make sure to stick around
GM_Kadann	I'll be making a special announcement later this evening
GM_Kadann	Those of you on IRC will get to hear about it first
GM_Kadann	I'll then be making a post on the ComNet about it so those that aren't here can read about it later
GM_Kadann	That's all for today
GM_Kadann	Thanks to everyone for coming
GM_Kadann	Dismissed
