GM_Kadann | Welcome all to another Vast Empire meeting |
GM_Kadann | As you all probably noticed, we're running on a new server now |
GM_Kadann | It's quite a bit faster than the old server |
GM_Kadann | Though, it may or may not be noticible as we were already running pretty fast |
GM_Kadann | We do have a 100mbs internet connection now though; instead of the 10mbs line |
GM_Kadann | So that will definitely help with page download times |
GM_Kadann | Expecially under heavier load times |
GM_Kadann | Everything seems to be running pretty good so far |
GM_Kadann | If anyone sees any problems, let me know |
GM_Kadann | Let's go ahead and start with some division reports |
GM_Kadann | Fury, you have the Army report today? |
GG_Fury | I do. |
GG_Fury | Good news is: I am still getting regular reports from your squad leaders. |
GG_Fury | Bad news: There isn't a whole hell of a lot going on. |
GG_Fury | I know a lot of us are on stand down waiting for Chapter 9. |
GG_Fury | Let's not let that discourage us from working on specialties and cross-training. |
GG_Fury | There's a lot of gaming to do, some websites to cleanup, etc. |
GG_Fury | I know it might not be the most fun you'll ever have in the club, but go ahead and be proactive and find out what you can do to pitch in. |
GG_Fury | There is also wiki work to be done if you can dedicate yourself to the task. |
GG_Fury | I don't have a lot to go on this week. I was out of town through last weekend and the week and it appears I fly out next Sunday again for a week. |
GG_Fury | I will leave you in the hands of Merrick and Rizzit, respectively. |
GG_Fury | I encourage you to work on some quick shot stories and character dev to pass the time. I know we're in a holding pattern but don't just waste the moment. |
GG_Fury | Have a good week. Have fun. See you in a couple weeks. |
| * GG_Fury steps down |
GM_Kadann | Thanks Fury |
GM_Kadann | Shazam, you have the Navy report this week? |
CMD_Shazam | Indeed I do |
CMD_Shazam | Due to the fact we cannot control RL factors, despite our best efforts activity has continued to go down |
CMD_Shazam | this isn't a personal failure on the part of the Navy, just a sign of the times. In short- school sucks. |
CMD_Shazam | It's good for you, but you can't tell your social studies teach: "Sorry I didn't complete the assignment, I was busy studying up for my TE so that in the event that my oxygen tube became obstructed I'd know how to switch to the auxillary..." |
CMD_Shazam | In any case- we've decided that two good squadrons is better than three totally stagnant ones- plus its just more fun in general. |
CMD_Shazam | Thus, Aegis has consolidated with Nazgul so that Jaden has been placed as Nazgul XO and Zurth Scrace has been put under Darius's flight. |
CMD_Shazam | The goal for now is to enjoy ourselves and get activity goin with the members we can use. Others are going to be concerned with school work obviously, as most of us are anyways, but others can make some pretty serious times- so lets work with that. |
CMD_Shazam | The idea for now is to get our squadrons active, then rebuild them to the point where they're above maximum capacity- then re-open Aegis or create a new squadron. We like working hard to make our squadrons, but at this point its illogical to work such a steep slope. |
CMD_Shazam | Also, on the VENA front- I'm proud to say we actually had someone who thought their breathing tube was more important and completed the TE (Technical Exam.) Congratulations to Than Sion and I hope he'll continue through the LE so that he can get his Master Aviator's Certificate and do some damage in this club |
CMD_Shazam | Other than that, we've got some recruits who look promising and we'd like to get them into these revitalized squadrons so that we can really get warmed up before Chapter 9. |
CMD_Shazam | Thanks for your time and if you have and problems or would like to share greif over the temperary loss of Aegis Squadron you can take it up with myself and Jaden. Thankyou for your time |
CMD_Shazam | Rock on. |
GM_Kadann | Thanks Shazam |
GM_Kadann | Since this is quite an upgrade to the server, I am going to try to run some gaming server(s) on it |
GM_Kadann | currently, I have a Jedi Academy server running at version 1.011 |
GM_Kadann | to connect to that, you'll just have to use the IP address: 72.51.38.159 |
GM_Kadann | we'll see how it goes....if it starts to slow down the web page loads, then I might have to modify the settings or turn it off |
GM_Kadann | If anyone has any other gaming servers you'd like run, let me know |
GM_Kadann | This is a linux server, so the game would need to have a linux version for a dedicated server |
GM_Kadann | I installed a administration feature with the JA server; so if anyone needs the information for that, let me know |
GM_Kadann | we'll probably want some admins in there running the server |
GM_Kadann | Jaden, you have something else to add for today? |
CWO_Jaden|SGT_Squall | ah |
CWO_Jaden|SGT_Squall | Attention to All Navy members |
CWO_Jaden|SGT_Squall | There will be a meeting at #phoenix_wing right after this meeting ends, so come on down |
CWO_Jaden|SGT_Squall | some important things about warming up for chapter nine will be discussed, along with new squadron assignments |
CWO_Jaden|SGT_Squall | That is all |
CWO_Jaden|SGT_Squall | :) |
GM_Kadann | Thanks Jaden |
GM_Kadann | That's all for today |
GM_Kadann | Thanks to all who came |
GM_Kadann | Dismissed |
