[SI]Phoenix[2LT]Angel | Greetings everyone, and welcome to another Vast Empire meeting. |
[SI]Phoenix[2LT]Angel | We've got a great show for you today and I hope to not chew up too much time with all the pomp and circumstance. |
[SI]Phoenix[2LT]Angel | If anyone has a Naval report, please PM me now. |
[SI]Phoenix[2LT]Angel | That being said, let's get down to business. |
[SI]Phoenix[2LT]Angel | The Storm Competition wrapped up last week with an incredible surge by Paladin and Blackjack at the end. However, some last minute heroics (not kidding about last minute, Jegora's final post came with 45 minutes left) put Jester ahead to stay. |
[SI]Phoenix[2LT]Angel | The final results have been posted on Comnet all week, as well as some impressive statistics. The competition averaged 900 words per post, and had an average quality score of just above 3. |
[SI]Phoenix[2LT]Angel | Great work everyone, you should all feel proud of the great job you did. |
[SI]Phoenix[2LT]Angel | I'd tell you to give yourselves a pat on the back, but I've got something better than that for you today. |
[SI]Phoenix[2LT]Angel | First off, I promised some special awards for individual accomplishments in the competition (best graphic, best gamer, MVP). |
[SI]Phoenix[2LT]Angel | This year's MVP award goes to a trooper who was responisble for over 50% of his squad's total points. He single handedly carried them through their first two objectives and impressed me immensely with his writing. |
[SI]Phoenix[2LT]Angel | GSGT_Garyll Gates, please step forward. |
| * GSGT_Garyll steps forward |
[SI]Phoenix[2LT]Angel | For your incredible efforts in the competition while your SL was down and out, I hereby promote you to Sergeant First Class. |
GSGT_Garyll | Thank you, sir |
[SI]Phoenix[2LT]Angel | In addition, you are awarded with the Ring of Merit [RoM], the highest award for competition participation. |

[SI]Phoenix[2LT]Angel | In addition to being one of the few to brave my graphics rules, you compiled an impressive post total and helped propel Paladin close to victory. |
[SI]Phoenix[2LT]Angel | For your efforts you are promoted to Sergeant and awarded the Emperor's Will, First Class [EW1]. |

[SI]Phoenix[2LT]Angel | Now for a word from General Rizzit. |
GEN_Rizzit | thank you Angel, and as Angel said congratulations to all of you who were awarded |
GEN_Rizzit | hopefully Wildcard will have just as good of an awards ceremony when it comes to their turn |
GEN_Rizzit | now, on the note of Wildcard, I would like to share some news with you about Sergeant Major Arnaut |
GEN_Rizzit | this past week he has been given the official Officer's Exam of the Stormtrooper Corps and therefore has been elevated to "officership" and given the first officer rank: Second Lieutenant |
GEN_Rizzit | congratulate him when you see him |
GEN_Rizzit | now before I pass on the podium I would like to call 2nd Lieutenant Angel back up here |
| * [SI]Phoenix[2LT]Angel skips to the Podium |
GEN_Rizzit | Angel, since we gave you YOUR exam and placed you on the Army High Command you have done nothing but impress us not only with this competition but with the overall improvement of our troopers' writing that we've noticed since you took office. |
GEN_Rizzit | Therefore, I hereby promote you to the rank of First Lieutenant. Congratulations! |

[SI]Phoenix[2LT]Angel | /nick [SI]Phoenix[1LT]Angel |
GEN_Rizzit | I also have one more item here for you |
[SI]Phoenix[1LT]Angel | I see that banana in your pocket. |
GEN_Rizzit | sorry, but you'll have to get higher up in the ranks for that |
GEN_Rizzit | for today, you'll have to settle for the Red Crescent of Devotion [RCoD] |
GEN_Rizzit | A medal for the members of the Army that have increased morale and activity by keeping the attitude of the Army during hard times light and energetic. The Executive Officer and Army Commander may give out this medal. |
[SI]Phoenix[1LT]Angel | Thank you sir. |
GEN_Rizzit | We are going through hard times indeed and I believe you demonstrated that you can keep the morale where its needed when you want/need to. |
GEN_Rizzit | You're welcome...and now I believe you have a few more notes to give? |
| * GEN_Rizzit sits down. |
[SI]Phoenix[1LT]Angel | Yes just a few items briefly. |
[SI]Phoenix[1LT]Angel | First, I've been informed that there is no Naval Report today. |
[SI]Phoenix[1LT]Angel | Also, FSG Kanderin Draken has informed me that Wildcard troopers have an assignment from him in their inboxes, and he'd aprpeciate if he get entries back asap. |
[SI]Phoenix[1LT]Angel | Also. As you know Storm Platoon commander will soon be vacant as I will be moving up to Phoenix Company Commander in the next few weeks. I have used the competition to evaluate candidacy, and decided I would like to see a bit more first. |
[SI]Phoenix[1LT]Angel | Therefore I will have applications opening this week. |
[SI]Phoenix[1LT]Angel | Check the Comnet by Monday morning for more details. |
[SI]Phoenix[1LT]Angel | Finally, I will be running a "side-competition" as squad's return to normal stories. |
[SI]Phoenix[1LT]Angel | This will commence once Wildcard finishes it's competition. |
[SI]Phoenix[1LT]Angel | The few details I have worked out, are that it will be a Short-Story competition and will have some very nice rewards. |
[SI]Phoenix[1LT]Angel | Look for more on that in the coming weeks. |
[SI]Phoenix[1LT]Angel | That's all I have this week, if anyone has anything else to add, please PM me now. |
[SI]Phoenix[1LT]Angel | Going once? |
[SI]Phoenix[1LT]Angel | Going twice? |
GEN_Rizzit | SOLD! |
[SI]Phoenix[1LT]Angel | Doc would like to add "Pizza." |
| * [SI]Phoenix[1LT]Angel bangs his gavel, "Meeting Adjourned!" |
