GEN_Rizzit | Thank you for attending this week's vast empire meeting. |
GEN_Rizzit | Been a time for busyness around here which is always a good thing. Changes are afoot in several areas of the VE even if they have not been made yet although I am sure you are all aware of the changes that HAVE been made as they are made. |

RAD_Stormz | That's all for me, back to General Rizzit |
GEN_Rizzit | thank you |
GEN_Rizzit | This week OSK has some news to report in on as well so I'm going to give Jeg the floor for a bit. Jeg? |
`1LT|ADT|PLRD_Jegora | Thankee |
`1LT|ADT|PLRD_Jegora | I have awards to...award to every single Osk member present here today. |
`1LT|ADT|PLRD_Jegora | You guys didn't even know we had awards, did you? |
`1LT|ADT|PLRD_Jegora | So, to start us off, I'm going to award the Knave's Spirit to three individuals. |
`1LT|ADT|PLRD_Jegora | The description of the Knave's Spirit award is as follows |
`1LT|ADT|PLRD_Jegora | "Awarded typically by Captains to their Underthings, the Knave's Spirit is actually an ornate mug filled with a strong drink of the Pirate King's secret brew when first awarded. Afterward, most Oskers tend to keep the mug tied to their belt or bandoleer, as one truly never knows when an opportunity will present itself to drink." |
`1LT|ADT|PLRD_Jegora | So, without further ado I award the Knave's Spirit [KS] to Privateer Valthir, Swabbie Jamasis, and...Bastard. I don't know his rank. |
`1LT|ADT|PLRD_Jegora | ...well played. |
`1LT|ADT|PLRD_Jegora | The next award is for Pirate Captain Havock. |
| * `1LT_JRN_CPT_Havock bows |
`1LT|ADT|PLRD_Jegora | "Scallywag's Plunder" [SP] - Awarded at the end of each heavy raid or operation (aka. each major story line) to the Osker who shows the epitome of what it means to "live the life" of the company. Typically the Pirate King or a designated other will evaluate the contributions made to the operation and award a choice piece of plunder or loot. As such, there is no real designation of what |
`1LT|ADT|PLRD_Jegora | this award may actually be. If the plunder is stolen, the Pirate King considers it an insult to his own judgment and the offender is usually in store for a horrific death. |
`1LT_JRN_CPT_Havock | yippie aye kay yae |
`1LT|ADT|PLRD_Jegora | Havock, your specific plunder is your new ship. Enjoy. |
`1LT_JRN_CPT_Havock | thank you your lordness |
`1LT|ADT|PLRD_Jegora | And finally, we have a promotion of sorts and a medal for Raz |
`1LT|ADT|PLRD_Jegora | Raz has been doing a lot of work for the Company recently, and so have decided that he deserves the completely meaningless and arbitrary title of Pirate Baron. |
| * MJR_DJK_Raziel drinks to that |
`1LT|ADT|PLRD_Jegora | Well done. He will also recieve the Carouser's Swag |
`1LT|ADT|PLRD_Jegora | "Carouser's Swag" [CS] - Awarded to the few that manage to impress the Pirate King himself. Usually accompanied by far too many rounds than recommended by seven out of five doctors, followed by a massive hangover. |
| * MJR_DJK_Raziel drinks to that too |
`1LT|ADT|PLRD_Jegora | ...that's all I got. |
GEN_Rizzit | thank you Jeg |
`1LT|ADT|PLRD_Jegora | It was my pleasure |
MJR_DJK_Raziel | It is time for the Dark Jedi Order |
| * MJR_DJK_Raziel bows low and turns down the lights with a single gesture |
MJR_DJK_Raziel | Before I reveal those who will join our ranks |
MJR_DJK_Raziel | I have two awards |
MJR_DJK_Raziel | For her persistant activity within the order |
MJR_DJK_Raziel | and producing some of the best writing ever to grace the comnet over the past five years |
MJR_DJK_Raziel | Dark Jedi Knight Kami shall receive the Star of Yavin IV |
MJR_DJK_Raziel | And for her hard work during training |
MJR_DJK_Raziel | I award Journeyman Havock the Valor Pin First Class |
| * `1LT_JRN_CPT_Havock bows |
MJR_DJK_Raziel | And now our new trainees |
MJR_DJK_Raziel | I had many applications, some excellent |
MJR_DJK_Raziel | Two in particular were very close to making the grade, but have fallen short |
MJR_DJK_Raziel | I will speak to those two about future applications and they may join us in the future |
MJR_DJK_Raziel | We are taking on six members today, but this comes with a caveat |
MJR_DJK_Raziel | I can count on one hand the number of Knights ordained in the last few years |
MJR_DJK_Raziel | Few make it through training |
MJR_DJK_Raziel | Firstly from the Army |
MJR_DJK_Raziel | Corvin |
MJR_DJK_Raziel | Then from the Navy |
MJR_DJK_Raziel | Drac |
CWO_Drac | I am honored. |
| * MJR_DJK_Raziel hands Drac his white robes |
| * CWO_Drac dons them and bows |
MJR_DJK_Raziel | I will be seeing you, shortly |
MJR_DJK_Raziel | Then from the army Garryll |
MJR_DJK_Raziel | And Bloodhound |
MJR_DJK_Raziel | And finally |
MJR_DJK_Raziel | Jager and Valthir |
| * MJR_DJK_Raziel hands Valthir his robes |
MJR_DJK_Raziel | That will be all from us |
GEN_Rizzit | thank you Raziel |
GEN_Rizzit | and now a word from our Supreme Moff |
GEN_Rizzit | Boss? |
SMF_Kadann | Thank you General Rizzit |
SMF_Kadann | Being the super bowl today, I was surprised to see the meeting running |
SMF_Kadann | But, I decided to stick around as I was working on a few things |
SMF_Kadann | A few updates on the server move |
SMF_Kadann | We have a new server up and running now |
SMF_Kadann | it will take me a couple weeks to get everything transfered over and setup |
SMF_Kadann | Once I start the transfer, then I'll announce it on the ComNet |
SMF_Kadann | I'll put instructions on what shouldn't be updated once I start |
SMF_Kadann | But once we're all complete, we'll be operational as normal |
SMF_Kadann | More information on that to come |
SMF_Kadann | I also have a few updates to the ComNet ready to go |
SMF_Kadann | However, I haven't been able to make them live due to the current server having some issues. |
SMF_Kadann | They'll be up once we're on the new server :) |
SMF_Kadann | Some fun things will be added |
SMF_Kadann | Another note |
SMF_Kadann | Chanserv and Nickserv lost their databases |
SMF_Kadann | so, we'll have to rebuild them by adding ops and by you registering your nicknames |
SMF_Kadann | if you need an op in a channel, message me or your commanders |
SMF_Kadann | That's all for now...General, I'll let you wrap it up. Back to you |
GEN_Rizzit | thanks Boss |
GEN_Rizzit | if anyone else has anything to add, message me now |
GEN_Rizzit | no? Allright then. This meeting is concluded! Enjoy the superbowl everyone! :D |
