GG_Fury | Alright, welcome to another Vast Empire meeting. |
GG_Fury | This is going to be a short one as it is a holiday weekend for many of us. |
GG_Fury | To start off with, everyone here is getting a, um, 20,000 credit bonus just for showing up. |
GG_Fury | I'll take care of that after the meeting. |
GG_Fury | First off, we have been asked to join a couple of gaming competitions in the coming months. |
GG_Fury | I would like all of you to think of what games you have and what you are good at. |
GG_Fury | I'd like us to focus on forming a few gaming pods. I don't care what division you are in, get with a few other members in similar time zones/online times and start practicing against each other. |
GG_Fury | I figure four to a pod would be optimal but a buddy system would be just as good |
GG_Fury | Practice playing, let us know who are interested in the competition as well. |
GG_Fury | We haven't committed the VE to anything yet. It really depends on the response we get from you. |
GG_Fury | One of the comps is the next phase of the Outer Rim Wars, which some of you have participated in in the past. |
GG_Fury | These will be against other clubs, grouped by faction in the case of ORW. |
GG_Fury | This is your chance to make a statement amongst the Star Wars online community, so if you are serious about it, let's get our club a nice turnout |
GG_Fury | It wouldn't be bad for recruiting new members either. Let our actions speak for us and let's see if we can earn some respect as well as new members. |
GG_Fury | I'm sure Kadann will have more on this soon. |
GG_Fury | Alright, other news which I have nothing on. |
GG_Fury | Chapter 9 is coming. I just don't know when. |
GG_Fury | Hopefully we'll get an answer for you soon on that. I know the Army is on stand-down and awaiting the chapter to start. |
GG_Fury | I am not sure where the navy stands. |
GG_Fury | As far as the army, other than a massive squad re-arrangement over with the Dark Dragoons, I don't have much to report. |
GG_Fury | Just a lot of bored troopers waiting for something to do. |
GG_Fury | I really hope we get that something for you soon. |
GG_Fury | If anyone can speak for the Navy thing week, PM me. |
GG_Fury | Ah. |
CMD_Shazam | Thanks |
CMD_Shazam | I've basically been thinking upon similar lines with Chapter 9- we really don't know where anyone stands |
CMD_Shazam | The Navy has three squadrons in the middle of stories, though I'm sure we could end them pretty quickly if we had to, and really we're just wainting for official notice of when Ch. 9 starts |
CMD_Shazam | In the meantime, I've been really, really busy but I'm doing my best to get out the updates on the academy |
CMD_Shazam | Those updates entail the internships and careers we're going to be starting up in the Navy, namely people wanting to put their character's on board ships, become commanders or work in the VENA-S |
CMD_Shazam | Also, I've been working on the site for the VENA-S (That's staff, btw), and I should have that up by either tonight or tomarrow morning- way over due, I might add |
CMD_Shazam | the information for the minor exams (MEs), primarilly the equipment exam (ee) and technical test (tt) is there and done, it just needs to be reviewed and proofread so we can have everything ready before we put it on the site |
CMD_Shazam | after those are nice and complete, we can put up a final MA, and then we'll be pretty much satisfied for the time-being; focus will go to setting up the Strike-Cruiser "Doashim" |
CMD_Shazam | Also, though I don't see him here, we have two young men who just got out of Basic Training (BT), and I'd just like to congratulate them |
CMD_Shazam | CRW Feris Landala has been promoted to Senior Crewman for absoluely superior work in his time with us at the Academy- he's been placed with Aegis Squadron under Jaden (That squadron seems to be coming together well, btw) |
CMD_Shazam | The other recruit I'm going to wait on actually, I'll add him to the thread when I create it. |
CMD_Shazam | Also, Trevor Evenson will be taking Aletheia's (Jen Knight) spot as my XO in Nazgul Squadron- I'm still sorting out a few other positions and movements, but that's definetly going down. |
CMD_Shazam | And that's all I have to say besides the fact that the Navy looks to be in a kind of mid drift 'Okayness.' We've reached normalcy but need Chapter Nine to put us back up to our mark. |
CMD_Shazam | Thank you for your time. |
GG_Fury | Thank you Shazam. |
| * CMD_Shazam nods |
GG_Fury | You all have your meeting attendance reward. Thanks for making it today. |
GG_Fury | Unless there is anything else, I'm going to wrap this meeting up and let you all get back to having fun. |
GG_Fury | Going once.... |
GG_Fury | Twice.... |
GG_Fury | Alright, have a good week. |
