GM_Kadann | Welcome all to another Vast Empire meeting |
GM_Kadann | I've been busy updating some of the sites with some features to hopefully help drive more traffic to the VE sites |
GM_Kadann | Mainly updates to display more information on the main VE page from either the VE Today or the ComNet |
GM_Kadann | Having the ComNet syndicate it's content through RSS feeds, this allows anyone to read the ComNet posts through any RSS supported reader |
GM_Kadann | including having the posts display on other websites |
GM_Kadann | Let's move onto some division reports this week |
GM_Kadann | Cosmic, you have the Army report today? |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | Yes, thank you. |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | I can say with confidence that the new Academy is on the brink of officially opening. |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | The Echelon rosters have been completed and we'll be doing just a few more addons to the online roster to reflect the new Assistant Commanders of Training. |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | And speaking of which, I'd like to congratulate those who have been selected as the very first Assistant Commanders of Training for the new Stormtrooper Corps Academy: Gunnery Sergeant Kami, Gunnery Sergeant Hashi Shiyun, Sergeant Darr-Rann, and Sergeant Aeos. |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | Once all examinations and email templates have been created, we'll be open for business. Due to the holidays, the date at which we will be opening may probably be extended into next year, but I'm hoping we can get those tasks done sooner. |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | That's all from my end. |
GM_Kadann | Thanks Cosmic |
GM_Kadann | Shazam, you have something from the Navy today? |
CMD_Shazam | I do |
CMD_Shazam | To start off, in case I haven't mentioned it before or the Wing Story hasn't reached all ears, the Navy has been taking part in a competition between its flights. |
CMD_Shazam | Rather than the usual Squadron vs Squadron idea, myself and a few others have broke down some of our problems and noted that most of them spawn from inactivity within the flight itself. In this competition we urge Flight Leaders to be more involved, autonomous and responsible for thier own storylines rather than relying on the members with most initiative |
CMD_Shazam | Points are assigned on a day-to-day rather than most points overall- flights with more members would have an obvious advantage so we thought we'd equal it out a bit. Either way that's where the majority of our activity has been focused |
CMD_Shazam | What have we accomplished? Namely- we've found more problems! However, by groups and fixing those weaknesses, I think I can say that each flight has achieved some signs of autonomous work, or is about to. |
CMD_Shazam | Also, we've implemented a few things like breifs for every post so that people who get caught up in schoolwork or just don't want to read all that, because people do post rather quickly, can just read the discussion for about five minutes and know everything that's happened. |
CMD_Shazam | I'll be editing a post on the story as well as the discussion, so keep your eyes open for the influx of information I'm about to give everyone. |
CMD_Shazam | In the academy, its been a pretty slow week, but we're not disheartened. Demonic has been gracious enough to build us a website and I think we may have a few pilots finally getting placed into squadrons- so keep your eyes open for that as well. |
CMD_Shazam | And my final note of today- watch for our professions aboard larger ships like the 'Doashim.' In light of recent events we may be taking people from squadrons or offering them bi-lateral jobs where they can function as a pilot as well as develop their characters by performing new activities aboard ships |
CMD_Shazam | That's really all that springs to my mind at the moment- but keep up the excellent work folks; you don't know how much I appreciate the work you put into these stories and the amount of resolve it may take at times to work as a time |
CMD_Shazam | team* |
CMD_Shazam | Thank you |
| * CMD_Shazam steps back |
GM_Kadann | Thanks Shazam |
| * CMD_Shazam nods |
GM_Kadann | And just a reminder for those members in the VE Today... |
GM_Kadann | The VE Today is still paying 25 ICs per word for each post approved and posted on the VE Today site |
GM_Kadann | If you're looking to make some extra money, this might be something you could look into joining |
GM_Kadann | More site updates are coming soon...so keep an eye out for those |
GM_Kadann | That's all for this week |
GM_Kadann | Thanks to all who came today |
GM_Kadann | Dismissed |
