GM_Kadann | Welcome all to another Vast Empire meeting |
GM_Kadann | You've all probably seen the stock quote updates on the site |
GM_Kadann | I've added some instructions on how to use those |
GM_Kadann | If there are any questions, let me know |
GM_Kadann | I don't have much more today |
GM_Kadann | I've been working on a few things; but I won't say much more than that |
GM_Kadann | I'll be announcing a release here in the next month or two |
GM_Kadann | So keep an eye out for that |
GM_Kadann | Fury, you have something from the Army today? |
GG_Fury | Thank you. |
GG_Fury | Not a lot from the reports this week so I once again encourage you to get some missions up and going or have someone check with Rizzit or me for a quick mission outline that you can start on. |
GG_Fury | That said, there is a lot I would like to cover today. |
GG_Fury | Since I have had some time to work on my character's wiki page lately, I would like to once again thank Riqimo for his efforts on creating templates for our use. Also thanks to Tomas for working on other special wiki projects. |
GG_Fury | Since we've concluded Chapter 8.5 for the most part - and I may post a wrap-up post this week to tie up some loose ends - I think it is proper to acknowledge those who did a fantastic job in pushing the campaign along. |
GG_Fury | Indeed, thanks to everyone who did their best in the missions to find the Hast Shipyards and then to help neutralize it as a functional New Republic resource. |
GG_Fury | I will work on adding the following to the Corps manual, but I would like to issue all of those who participated, including our Naval brethren - with the Banner of Hast. |
GG_Fury | You can already find the ribbon for this campaign award on the Army Ribbon page of the wiki if you'd like to add it to your character page. |
GG_Fury | That said, some folks did a lot of work to get this mission off the ground and to keep the storylines moving. |
GG_Fury | I would like to award the Shield of Hast to those individuals. |
GG_Fury | This campaign ribbon supercedes the Banner and is more prestigious, so those who receive it can just forgo the Banner entirely. |
GG_Fury | The following individuals will receive the Shield, in no particular order other than my collating them. |
GG_Fury | Our own Naval awardee is Shazam for interfacing with me on the planning of the Naval portion of the campaign. |
GG_Fury | If there are any others whom the Naval contingent feels deserving, please let me know. I'd not like to speak for another division. |
GG_Fury | as for the rest, the list is as follows, pardon the flood: |
GG_Fury | Kanderin Draken |
GG_Fury | Giovanni Bryden |
GG_Fury | Arnaut |
GG_Fury | Jennabelle |
GG_Fury | Sniping101 |
GG_Fury | Riqimo |
GG_Fury | Wicket |
GG_Fury | Brightstar |
GG_Fury | Jelly Bean |
GG_Fury | Alater Osted |
GG_Fury | Jersh |
GG_Fury | Saphira Striker |
GG_Fury | AlanRJ |
GG_Fury | Luckystar |
GG_Fury | Sandwich Sam |
GG_Fury | Rogueboy |
GG_Fury | Namyr |
GG_Fury | Dante |
GG_Fury | Eviscares |
GG_Fury | It was a long campaign and these folks held the line for the duration. |
GG_Fury | I would also like to address some other medal and award issues within the Corps. |
GG_Fury | Seeing as our own Riqimo has done a lot of work in creating the ribbons for our awards, I thought it would be nice if we retroactively made sure everyone received the awards they deserve. |
GG_Fury | So, I went through the stats for Comnet and found the Main Storynet and Army Storynet posts by our members and have tallied the total posts by member. |
GG_Fury | If you have already received the medal you are listed as achieving, please ignore this award issue as obviously you cannot receive this award twice. If you have received, for example, a Gold Cross today and have never received the prior awards, consider the issue date of a Bronze and Silver Cross today as a retroactive award. |
GG_Fury | So, those who have posted more than 250 storynet posts and receive the Gold Cross are: |
GG_Fury | Angel |
GG_Fury | Argon Viper |
GG_Fury | Fury |
GG_Fury | Kuroishi |
GG_Fury | Raziel |
GG_Fury | Rizzit |
GG_Fury | For 175+ posts, the following receive the Silver Cross: |
GG_Fury | Afyon |
GG_Fury | Kairo |
GG_Fury | Kami |
GG_Fury | Luckystar |
GG_Fury | Riqimo |
GG_Fury | Rogueboy |
GG_Fury | Sniping101 |
GG_Fury | And those, who have have at least 75 posts receive the Bronze Cross: |
GG_Fury | Aeos |
GG_Fury | AlanRJ |
GG_Fury | Arnaut |
GG_Fury | Cosmic |
GG_Fury | Cyanus |
GG_Fury | Dante |
GG_Fury | Darr-Rann |
GG_Fury | Garet Daimun |
GG_Fury | Giovanni Bryden |
GG_Fury | Jelly Bean |
GG_Fury | Jersh |
GG_Fury | Kanderin Draken |
GG_Fury | Leon |
GG_Fury | Merrick |
GG_Fury | Namyr |
GG_Fury | Ramon Stonefish |
GG_Fury | Rema |
GG_Fury | Saphira Striker |
GG_Fury | Squall |
GG_Fury | Tanus Solvona |
GG_Fury | TK-112 |
GG_Fury | Tnepres |
GG_Fury | Virius |
GG_Fury | Zafo |
GG_Fury | If this list went too long, please consult Army Main Comnet for the list. |
GG_Fury | Also, all Army Service Ribbons are retroactively awarded today if you have not received them for your service time. |
GG_Fury | Please consult the wiki for any links to what the ribbons look like and for what duration. These are good for those who were members prior to their issue as well, so all old-timers get a few awards today. |
GG_Fury | In recently earned awards, I have asked Kadann for a few favors and he is allowing me to present some High Command medals. |
GG_Fury | The Meritorious Service Medal is one of our highest awards in the Vast Empire. The axiom write-up is as follows: |
GG_Fury | The Meritorious Service Medal is awarded to those members of the Empire who have distinguished themselves by meritorious service or achievement while assigned to a joint activity. |
GG_Fury | I am proud to award this medal to Riqimo |
| * SFC|Riqimo salutes |
| * GG_Fury salutes |
GG_Fury | Thanks for all your hard work on behalf of the Corps. |
GG_Fury | Incidentally, this past week Storm Platoon Leader Kairo decided to go into retirement for personal reasons and Riqimo has been appointed to fill his shoes. |
GG_Fury | Congrats on that as well. |
GG_Fury | In recognition of your new position, you are promoted to Sergeant Major. |
| * GG_Fury salutes |
| * SFC|Riqimo salutes |
GG_Fury | Now, don't him too much attitude about all this since it has been my idea to inadvertently make it Riqimo Day here. |
SFC|Riqimo | >.> |
GG_Fury | Things just kind of fell into place that way. |
SFC|Riqimo | <.< |
GG_Fury | Another HC award I would like to issue is the Valorous Unit Award, which reads as follows: |
GG_Fury | The Valorous Unit Award is to be awarded to units of the Empire for extraordinary heroism in action against an armed enemy while engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing foreign force or while serving with friendly foreign forces engaged in an armed conflict against an opposing armed force in which the Empire is not a belligerent part for actions. The unit must have performed with marked distinction under difficult and |
GG_Fury | Hmm |
SFC|Riqimo | "under difficult and..." |
GG_Fury | Extended periods of combat duty or participation in a large number of operational missions, either ground or air, is not sufficient. Units that have participated in single or successive actions covering relatively brief time spans will earn this award. It is not reasonable to presume that entire units can sustain Medal of Honor performance for extended time periods under the most unusual circumstances. Only on rare occasions will a unit larger |
GG_Fury | That may be all of it. Check the axiom if not. |
GG_Fury | In any case, I grant this award to our latest ARC team, Eclipse squad, and Wraith squad. |
GG_Fury | Congrats to those members for their service in recent months. |
GG_Fury | And thanks to all of you for showing up today. |
| * GG_Fury hands the meeting back over to Kadann |
