GG_Fury | Howdy. |
GG_Fury | It's Sunday afternoon. Thanks for coming to another Vast Empire meeting. |
GG_Fury | Those of you attending receive the satisfaction of being in my presence. |
GG_Fury | Since I ran the script, I'll start. |
GG_Fury | In the Army, we are trying to do a little reorganizing and housekeeping. We have a squad reorganization on the horizon, keep your eyes peeled for that. |
GG_Fury | We are also looking to revamp our squad leader training. Namely, recreating it since our most recent SLs have been more or less thrown in cold. |
GG_Fury | We apologize for that but we had some months of real fluid roster structure. Now that things have settled down, we'd like to get things back in shape. |
GG_Fury | Anyone who has access to the army command comnet, please throw in your two credits on what you would like to see given as material. |
GG_Fury | For you regular army grunts, the same thing applies to your training. We have a wiki, it lies waiting for further use. Help us decide what is credible and what isn't. |
GG_Fury | I apologize for not getting too deep into the reports as I only got home from a flight yesterday. |
GG_Fury | If there are anything in those reports for me to address I will do so this week. |
GG_Fury | Stay active, give us your ideas, help you provide you the activities you want and need to be successful in the Corps. |
GG_Fury | Have a good week folks. |
GG_Fury | Flyboys, your turn. |
|FAD|KT|Japheth| | Alrighty. |
|FAD|KT|Japheth| | Several people were rewarded last week for capitalizing on the offer Shazam made last week for work on the wiki. In particular, C-3PX2 and Tomas stuck out as having gone above and beyond and were thus rewarded appropriately. |
|FAD|KT|Japheth| | Remember that any activity that sticks out to us (the squadron commanders and the NHC) does not go unnoticed. We attempt to reward such activity in order to encourage it. |
|FAD|KT|Japheth| | A large push has been made to include some sort of specialty-esque system in the Navy. Shazam and Arturus have been hard at work hammering out the details, more on that to come as things pan out more. A semi-preview can be found on the Navy Comnet under the sticked VENA Update/Professions topic. I think there will be a bit more on that topic here in a moment as well. |
|FAD|KT|Japheth| | The squadrons generally have their orders. This is looking to be a stabilizing and maintaining week. Keep activity up, as it seems to be on the rise. |
|FAD|KT|Japheth| | With that, I'll turn the floor over to Lt Arturus. |
`1LT_Arturus | Thank you |
`1LT_Arturus | First of all, I want to give recognition to Cyleaf Aehait, Willtconq, and Demonic who have all been awarded the Silver Writing Commendation based upon the latest tally. In addition, Tokijin has be awaded the Bronze version of the award. |
`1LT_Arturus | It has come to my attention today that Raigen was unfortunately missed during the last tally and had infact attained the level for the Bronze so he too is awarded the Bronze Writing Commendation. |
`1LT_Arturus | Well done everyone and keep up the activity. |
`1LT_Arturus | Finally, and unfortunately she is not here today, I wanted to award Tokijin for her activity in writing about her service on the Doashim. In particular, I want to recognize her for the quality and detail of her writing and the fact that it has been done without much direct interference and involvement from myself. It is a self-directed exercise that has worked out well. |
`1LT_Arturus | Therefore, I am pleased to promote Tokijin to the rank of Chief Petty Officer and award her the Victory Cross with Blue trim. |
| * `1LT_Arturus steps back |
|FAD|KT|Japheth| | Thanks, Arturus. Next up is Commander Shazam. |
CMD_Shazam | Ah yes |
CMD_Shazam | just one last thing before I move on- would our dear Commander and Chief step up? |
CMD_Shazam | *cough*Japheth*cough* |
| * |FAD|KT|Japheth| stands back up. |
|FAD|KT|Japheth| | Err, ok. |
CMD_Shazam | I'd just like to add that Japheth has also recieved the Bronze Writing Commendation |
CMD_Shazam | congratulations |
|FAD|KT|Japheth| | Oh my. |
|FAD|KT|Japheth| | Thank you. |
CMD_Shazam | Thank you :) |
| * |FAD|KT|Japheth| sits back down. |
CMD_Shazam | Anywho- Japheth mentioned our specialties |
CMD_Shazam | however, rather than be as 'specific' per se as that, we're offering a friendly neighbor |
CMD_Shazam | In every pilot there is one or two things that they do, besides flying, fairly well |
CMD_Shazam | of course, here in the Navy, we hope that they fly best out of those three skills, but in order to make the other two evident, myself and Art have hashed out some basic categories for skills |
CMD_Shazam | Unlike the specialties, these don't make you an expert- rather, they make you well-informed. |
CMD_Shazam | While that may seem like: "Why Do it?" How many times do pilots get into a battle, maybe win, and then go home? Every mission right? |
CMD_Shazam | What if that wasn't the end of the story? |
CMD_Shazam | Say that person also happens to be trained as a medic- when they get back to that flaming base, you bet your butt they're going to be put to work. |
CMD_Shazam | While our specialties have a lot more to them- that's the basic gist. Our characters will be able to develop in ways that could only be hinted at before: now its official. |
CMD_Shazam | Furthermore, taking note of certain concerns from the Army, and us of course, we've made sure to not step into the boundary of what we should not be capable of. |
CMD_Shazam | Weapons for instance- there's no real reason someone should be taught how to operate a massive RPG assembly if they're in the Navy- that just doesn't make sense. |
CMD_Shazam | But- people will have hobbies :)\ |
CMD_Shazam | In short: expect to have some briefs on these new positions very soon and expect them to go into effect fairly soon. Hopefully this will add a new level of interest to the Navy. |
CMD_Shazam | That's all :) |
|FAD|KT|Japheth| | Alright then. |
|FAD|KT|Japheth| | I think that wraps it up from the Navy this week. Keep an eye on the Navy Main Comnet for more information. |
GG_Fury | Cool. Anything else anyone has to report? |
GG_Fury | If not, I'll wrap this meeting up for the week. Thanks for coming folks. |
