| * COMD_Atrasin slaps PFC_Rawr around a bit with a large trout |
| * COMD_Atrasin slaps PO2_Dunny|PvT_Unforgiven around a bit with a large trout |
DJC_LTC_Raziel | Right then |
DJC_LTC_Raziel | Once that's done with we'll get started |
MF | Welcome to the weekly Vast Empire meeting. Those who may need any privileges, let me know, but it looks like we've got enough division heads and higher ups around to handle that work. For those of you this relates to, Happy Father's Day. |
MF | Or maybe we just toss it up to anarchy |
MF | Go on.... |
| * MF goes to find a cold beverage and a seat |
DJC_LTC_Raziel | Right then we'll start with the army side |
DJC_LTC_Raziel | And I'll say a little on Thyveck before Havock rolls out the awards |
DJC_LTC_Raziel | I know its been a long campaign, but I hope you've all enjoyed the chance to work on something a little different |
DJC_LTC_Raziel | I hope that between the settings and the leave posts you've been able to do some good character development |
DJC_LTC_Raziel | If you have seen the topics on the main about characters and chapter 9, please do go ahead and contribute! |
DJC_LTC_Raziel | It won't belong before Fury gets us moving forward in galactic events |
DJC_LTC_Raziel | I really recommend everyone takes a bit of time to read his posts on "storynet" |
DJC_LTC_Raziel | I know it doesn't get used as much as it did a while back, so you may have missed them |
DJC_LTC_Raziel | but the "Matter of Empire" pieces he has written are not only good reads, but should help everyone get grounded in out situation as we move away from established EU canon |
DJC_LTC_Raziel | Havock, do you have the list of awards, before I make some special mentions? |

DJC_LTC_Raziel | Right then |
DJC_LTC_Raziel | before the final scores, two things |
DJC_LTC_Raziel | First of all Jegora has done more than half of the marking for this campaign |
DJC_LTC_Raziel | and I hope you can all appreciate how much work that entails given the nature of the marking |
DJC_LTC_Raziel | So he'll be receiving an award for all his hard work too |
DJC_LTC_Raziel | Secondly, I'll state now that the scores are so tight in places here that I'm going to double check EVERYTHING tomorrow |
DJC_LTC_Raziel | so consider these preliminary |
DJC_LTC_Raziel | We'll start with the scores for the main campaign |
DJC_LTC_Raziel | In third place with 256, Eclipse |
DJC_LTC_Raziel | In a close second with 402, Raiders |
DJC_LTC_Raziel | In first place with 466, Blackjack |
DJC_LTC_Raziel | HOWEVER |
DJC_LTC_Raziel | You may all have noticed some furious activity on the leave stories this week |
DJC_LTC_Raziel | and I hope you remember that they are scaled by word count |
DJC_LTC_Raziel | So in leave stories: |
DJC_LTC_Raziel | In third place with 73, Raiders |
DJC_LTC_Raziel | In second place with 104, Blackjack |
DJC_LTC_Raziel | In first place with a monumental 229, Eclipse |
DJC_LTC_Raziel | What an effort, special mention to Thengil, that may be the longest official army story post in our history at nearly 12,000 words |
DJC_LTC_Raziel | So, final scores |
DJC_LTC_Raziel | rounding up to the nearest whole number |
DJC_LTC_Raziel | In third place with 467, its the leaders for the first half, Raiders |
DJC_LTC_Raziel | In second with 477, Eclipse |
DJC_LTC_Raziel | But the clear winners |
DJC_LTC_Raziel | with nearly 250 points just from Garryll |
DJC_LTC_Raziel | with 571 points |
DJC_LTC_Raziel | Its Blackjack |
DJC_LTC_Raziel | Congratulations! |
DJC_LTC_Raziel | I will double check all scores before confirming 2nd place tomorrow, as its just sooo close! |
DJC_LTC_Raziel | Right that's all from me |
DJC_LTC_Raziel | Anyone else from the Army, before we pass you over to the Navy? |
DJC_LTC_Raziel | Then will someone step forwards from the Navy please? |
COMD_Atrasin | thank you Colonel |
COMD_Atrasin | it's been a quiet week in the Navy |
COMD_Atrasin | a quiet we have put to good use in some much needed revision and trainings |
COMD_Atrasin | we welcome SCRW Furthing and SCRW Norsedragoon to the Naval roles |
COMD_Atrasin | both have hit the deck running and were awarded the Star of the Academy for their great work during training |
COMD_Atrasin | if you haven't already said hello to them, do so. |
COMD_Atrasin | one of our major revisions this week has been the continued work on the Ship's Captain's Training Course |
COMD_Atrasin | WO2 Trykon has put much time and effort into this program and it has begun to bear fruit |
COMD_Atrasin | as of today we have 4 trainees in the system and well on their way to garnering their own commands. |
COMD_Atrasin | however, as successful as this has been we have seen a need to give options to members out of the gate |
COMD_Atrasin | we are actively working on creating a parallel Fleet Training system |
COMD_Atrasin | so that new members can begin their careers immediately in the Fleet, while not diminishing the role of the Starfighter Corps or the people who wish to make that their primary career path |
COMD_Atrasin | look for more information as the revisions progress |
COMD_Atrasin | we do have one item to hand out for the work done so far... |
COMD_Atrasin | WO@ Trykon, please step forward |
| * WO2|IN_Trykon steps forward |
COMD_Atrasin | WO2 Trykon for your dedication and tireless work in creating and expanding the Fleet Training Program we hereby award you the first ever Naval "E" Ribbon for Excellence and Effort |
WO2|IN_Trykon | Thank you very much, sir. An honor. |
COMD_Atrasin | keep up the great work Mr.Trykon, you are a pleasure to have around. |
COMD_Atrasin | next up, we have also re-activated Naval Intelligence |
COMD_Atrasin | this division will have a primary role in creating and fostering all future Naval stories |
COMD_Atrasin | and to help keep things organized and w/i VE canon |
COMD_Atrasin | if any Navy members would like to join and immerse themselves in the world if Galactic spookdom, please pm Captain Grey. |
COMD_Atrasin | finally, one last award. |
COMD_Atrasin | PO2 Dunny please step forward |
| * PFC|Unforgiven_P02|Dunny steps forward, hopefully getting it right this time. |
COMD_Atrasin | lol |
COMD_Atrasin | yes, you're fine |
PFC|Unforgiven_P02|Dunny | WHEW! That's a bloody relief, no mistake...uh...sir. |
COMD_Atrasin | PO2 Dunny has also been a tireless worker in both squadron stories and in discussions and efforts tot move the Navy forward in it's dual Fighter/Capital Ship roles |
COMD_Atrasin | for that effort he is hereby awarded the first Imperial Navy Achievement Medal |
COMD_Atrasin | congratulations Dunny |
PFC|Unforgiven_P02|Dunny | O_O Wow! Thank you sir! |
COMD_Atrasin | well, earned |
COMD_Atrasin | Dunny may also be the first navy person to achieve all their Certifications in record time |
COMD_Atrasin | ...and garner a most if not all skills...he's a beast on those. |
COMD_Atrasin | keep up the good work!! |
COMD_Atrasin | and that's all from the Navy side |
COMD_Atrasin | back to you Colonel |
Raziel | Thank you all for coming! |
Raziel | That ends todays meeting! |
