GG_Fury | Alright, welcome to the Mother's Day 2007 edition of the Vast Empire meeting. |
GG_Fury | We'll try to make this short, sweet, but informative so you can get back to thanking your mother for not smothering you as you slept in your crib. |
GG_Fury | Well, at least for those folks in Texas. |
GG_Fury | The rest of you had fine mothers I'm sure. |
GG_Fury | Anyone who has Navy news just pop me a PM. |
GG_Fury | The Army is getting ready to begin Phase 1 of Chapter 8.5. There is still room for a Naval mission in Phase 2 but I have yet to get together with Admiral Japheth on that. |
GG_Fury | That said, prior to going into the campaign, we have some folks we would like to acknowledge. |
GG_Fury | In no particular order as I'm working off some notes here, I would like to recognize some of our best troopers and reward their work. |
| * SSG_Darr-Rann|WO2_Demonic steps forward |
GG_Fury | SSG Darr-Rann, you are everywhere these days. You lead by a very active example. |
GG_Fury | Sometimes your squad follows, sometimes not. I'm not going to penalize you for that because you are definitely putting forth the effort. |
GG_Fury | For that and your many efforts to advance our Corps activity, I promote you to Gunnery Sergeant. |
| * GG_Fury salutes. |
SSG_Darr-Rann|WO2_Demonic | Thank you sir |
| * SSG_Darr-Rann|WO2_Demonic salutes |
GG_Fury | Also.... |
GG_Fury | You are hereby granted the Iron Heart [IH] - A medal for the troopers of the Vast Empire Army that have shown their bravery, courage, and honor by increasing a squad�s or platoon�s activity and having a major effect on the overall activity of the Regiment. |
GG_Fury | Thanks much for your hard work. |
GSG_Darr-Rann|WO2_Demonic | Thank you sir! |

| * GSG_Darr-Rann|WO2_Demonic steps down |
| * SSG_SandwichSam steps up |
GG_Fury | Here too is another leader who has tackled many challenges but still finds the time to contribute to our overall efforts. |
GG_Fury | If you haven't noticed his activity, you aren't paying attention. |
GG_Fury | Sam, I promote you to Gunnery Sergeant as well. |
| * GG_Fury salutes |
| * SSG_SandwichSam salutes |
GSG_SandwichSam | Thank you Sir! |
GG_Fury | You also are awarded the Cross of Resolve [CoR] - A medal given to the troopers that from day to day show manners and activity befitting an officer. These troopers are very active and ready to help the Vast Empire any way they can. |
GG_Fury | Which you very much have earned. |
GG_Fury | Thanks much. |

| * GSG_SandwichSam salutes |
GSG_SandwichSam | Thank you again sir! |
GG_Fury | Hmm, who else is here? |
| * GSG_SandwichSam steps down |
GG_Fury | Ah! |
| * CPL_Aphamos steps up |
GG_Fury | Aphamos here is online more than most of us. I say we promote you to Sergeant in the hopes you become one of our future leader types. |
| * GG_Fury salutes |
| * CPL_Aphamos returns salute |
SGT_Aphamos | Thank you Sir |
GG_Fury | You have also earned the Emperor's Shield 2nd Class - The standard excellence award of the Vast Empire Stormtrooper Corps, it may be bestowed for any outstanding service. |
GG_Fury | Thanks again. |
GG_Fury | This feels good. |
GG_Fury | Nice to see folks stepping up and doing a good job. |
GG_Fury | We have some more troopers to recognize but they are not here at the moment. Feel free to let them know they were honored when you see them. |
GG_Fury | Zafo is one of our long time vets returned to the fold, and he jumped back in in a big way. He is promoted to Sergeant First Class for his effort. |
GG_Fury | Arnaut is a frequent presence in the Corps, usually here on IRC, doing good things with the Wraiths. He is promoted to Senior Sergeant and awarded the Emperor's Will 1st Class. |
GG_Fury | Squall is a holy terror at times, but is always active and that counts for a lot around here. He is awarded the Emperor's Shield 2nd Class. |
GG_Fury | Last buy not least, Rogueboy has been around the block for awhile and is constantly looking for ways to contribute. You can ignore that level of dedication and so I won't. He is promoted to Senior Sergeant and is awarded the Emperor's Will 2nd Class. |
GG_Fury | Incidentally, thanks to all of you who pitched in on the recent "post-a-thon". I'd like to see more activity like that from time to time. |
GG_Fury | As stated, your long-awaited mission orders should be coming up. I am on the road this week but it is a nice place and I should be able to get online reasonably well. |
GG_Fury | As for store news, there is a new starfighter in stock for you, and hopefully I should get some weapons in stock before I head out. |
GG_Fury | I will turn the meeting over to Kadann or whoever wants to take on the Navy report. |
GM_Kadann | Thanks Fury |
GM_Kadann | If someone has the Navy report, msg me now |
GM_Kadann | I am finally back and getting back up to speed here |
GM_Kadann | though, I will be leaving this Friday for another couple weeks |
GM_Kadann | I won't have internet connection during this time |
GM_Kadann | I haven't heard anything of a Navy report |
GM_Kadann | So we'll go ahead and make this meeting short |
GM_Kadann | Thanks all who came today |
GM_Kadann | And make sure you tell your Mothers 'Happy Mother's Day' |
GM_Kadann | Dismissed |
