FM_Threeof4 | A lot has happened this week |
FM_Threeof4 | it has been a week filled with resignations, and rumors and stress. |
SA_Majere | ehehe |
SA_Majere | oops, sorry |
FM_Threeof4 | I guess I should start with the resignations. |
FM_Threeof4 | Ambassador Tiana has resigned from the Vast Empire. |
FM_Threeof4 | This saddens me because she was badgered out of the Vast Empire, because she did what she felt was morally right. |
FM_Threeof4 | She brought up charges on several influential members of the Vast Empire, and people have taken it upon themselves |
FM_Threeof4 | to retaliate against her. |
FM_Threeof4 | I hope you guys are proud of yourselves |
FM_Threeof4 | Now on to happier things. |
FM_Threeof4 | Division of the month will start today. Please message me telling me which division you are in, so that your division will get credit for your attendance at the meeting. |
FM_Threeof4 | Division of the month for last month, was the Army. Congratulations HG Crysus. |
| * HG_Crysus_VA_Jackal applauds all Corps members. |
| * SA_Majere claps |
FM_Threeof4 | Site of the Week: |
FM_Threeof4 | Captain TJ, i'm proud to present your Viper Squadron page with this honor. And to show my appreciation for getting a site online, I award you 5000 IC's |
FM_Threeof4 | I now turn the floor over to SA Majere for his operations report. |
SA_Majere | i would like to start with something that is very important to Kadann, Threeof4, and myself |
SA_Majere | the CoC and the Praise in Public, Punish in Private policy |
SA_Majere | the CoC was developed as a safety blanket |
SA_Majere | you should know it - read it - and adhere to it |
SA_Majere | it was developed just in case someone got really out of hand |
SA_Majere | however - it is not something that should be adhered to - to the letter |
SA_Majere | every now and then someone will curse - or show some general anger at nothing |
SA_Majere | this is not looked upon highly - but it is not something we are goin to punish you for |
SA_Majere | there is something else that we are going to get pretty strict on |
SA_Majere | and may god help whoever breaks this policy |
SA_Majere | Praise in Public, Punish in Private |
SA_Majere | Threeof4 has something to say about the Praise in Public part so i will not be getting into that |
SA_Majere | the punish in private is something i am very strict with |
SA_Majere | under no circumstances are people to be cursed at, harrassed, or anything that will ruin their fun |
SA_Majere | everyone will get 1 verbal warning |
SA_Majere | if they continue they will get banned from the VE channel for 24 hours until they speak with FM Threeof4 personaly |
SA_Majere | afterwards they will be removed from the VE permanently |
SA_Majere | no demotions |
SA_Majere | no suspensions |
SA_Majere | you will be removed |
SA_Majere | the Vast Empire is about having fun |
SA_Majere | and i dont think it's fair when people start infringing upon that |
SA_Majere | now as for those with OPS |
SA_Majere | you will answer directly to Threeof4 and i can promise you that he will consider very highly going directly to punishment #3 |
SA_Majere | if you have OPS in this channel it means we respect you, and trust you to enforce the rules and policies that we have set in place |
SA_Majere | if you break something that you are supposed to be enforcing that is just like lying to me |
SA_Majere | i don't like that... |
SA_Majere | now..FM Threeof4 would like to add something to what i just said before i continue with my Operations Report |
| * SA_Majere nods to FM Threeof4 |
SA_Majere | that is unless he is about to lag out, hehe |
FM_Threeof4 | I'm getting really tired of people on the council sec, or people that have brought up charges, taking flack from people for doing their jobs. |
FM_Threeof4 | These people have my respect. The decisions made by these people were correct, and it's not fair for members to harrass them about it. |
FM_Threeof4 | The Council Sec especially, because they were told to remain quiet about this, and therefore can't defend themselves against these people |
FM_Threeof4 | that have felt it nessicary to get their punches in. |
FM_Threeof4 | Because of this, I'm going to bring this out in the public, so that you people can see what has really gone on here. After i finish explaining it, and after this meeting is over |
FM_Threeof4 | It will not be brought up again. |
FM_Threeof4 | Several memebrs of the Navy High Council, for reasons related to stress, felt it nessicery to break the CoC's in this Channel. |
FM_Threeof4 | I have a log that is about 20 mins of nothing but swearing. |
FM_Threeof4 | Several members took offense to this, and brought up charges |
FM_Threeof4 | The council sec took all of the logs, and statements and weighed out all of the things that they were sent before they made their decision. |
FM_Threeof4 | I stand behind their decision, and if you have a problem with their decision, you bring it up to me. You do not goto them. People will not be harrassed or badgered for doing their jobs. |
FM_Threeof4 | Tiana's resignation came directly from myself not stepping in and controlling this problem, I'm doing it now, and it will stop. |
FM_Threeof4 | Are there any questions about this incident? |
FM_Threeof4 | `2LT_SG_ExarKun-- are we allowd to discuss things with people, as long as we dont badger them? |
FM_Threeof4 | you may, but the moment they ask you to stop, you will. |
FM_Threeof4 | any other questions? |
FM_Threeof4 | Josh-- are the punishments that council sec made going to be taken away, or are they still going to be enforced? |
FM_Threeof4 | The punishments made by the Council Sec will be enforced, with the following exceptions: |
FM_Threeof4 | Because i feel the navy needs it's commanding officer back, Atrus and Paan will resume their duties. |
FM_Threeof4 | They will remain on probation, but they will resume their duties. |
FM_Threeof4 | This decision was made by a group of 5 people in the Vast Empire, and was not made by just one person. |
FM_Threeof4 | anything else? |
FM_Threeof4 | good, Majere you may continue with your report. |
| * SA_Majere nods |
SA_Majere | thank you Threeof4 |
SA_Majere | god help the next person that brings this up publicly |
SA_Majere | now on to some fun stuff |
SA_Majere | as you all know i am the Chief Operations Officer |
SA_Majere | i am in charge of general activity |
SA_Majere | along with giving advice and other things to commanders to help them with their activity |
SA_Majere | with the permission of Admiral Atrus i have taken command of Kaph Squadron |
SA_Majere | this is a Navy Squadron - but I want you Army Squad Leaders to pay attention too |
SA_Majere | i will be doing things that can be adapted to other squad(rons) that should make being in a squad(ron) a lot of fun |
SA_Majere | as Squadron Commander I will be answering to a Wing Commander, all the way uup to Atrus |
SA_Majere | just like anyone else |
SA_Majere | they all know that they are to treat me just like everyone else |
SA_Majere | this is so all of you can see what i am doing and you will know that it will work |
SA_Majere | in 1 day i got 2 of my pilots to post on the campaign run on |
SA_Majere | all i did was tell them about it |
SA_Majere | that is the most impressive display of fun that i have seen to this day |
SA_Majere | i will reserve the rest of my Kaph Squadron details until after Atrus makes his report |
SA_Majere | as for the rest of the COO_ i will be getting back into the plotline |
SA_Majere | i have a lot of plans with that |
SA_Majere | and i also plan to start working on websites for the shipyards and factories |
SA_Majere | equipment in the VE is old and i plan to restart the factories so we can all have some more fiction and fun |
SA_Majere | you can expect a lot of great things to come out of my office in the future - so stay tuned |
| * SA_Majere nods to FM Threeof4 |
FM_Threeof4 | I would like to mention one more thing |
FM_Threeof4 | before i give the floor to Kadann |
FM_Threeof4 | I'm very proud of the performance we have had in the Outer Rim War. |
FM_Threeof4 | Tj is currently working on a website to keep track of how we are doing. |
FM_Threeof4 | he should have it finished sometime this week, hopefully by tomorrow. |
FM_Threeof4 | www.angelfire.com/sd/teejay/outerrim/main.htm |
FM_Threeof4 | Please keep up the participation. |
FM_Threeof4 | GM Kadann, you have the floor |
SA_Majere | we took second place for activity :) |
SA_Majere | soon we take first place :) |
GM_Kadann | thank you Threeof4 |
GM_Kadann | as you all know, i have been on extended leave for some time now. |
GM_Kadann | this is due to the fact that i have a heavy school load this semester |
GM_Kadann | i will be all done soon, and will have more time to spend working on things for the VE |
GM_Kadann | there are quite a few new applications that myself and Threeof4 will be implementing over the next few months |
GM_Kadann | first I will be upgrading the VE Bank and Stock Market |
GM_Kadann | We have plans upwards of 10 new sites |
GM_Kadann | plans for... |
GM_Kadann | I will not be giving out any details at this time, as it will all be a surprize |
SA_Majere | grrrr |
GM_Kadann | ;) |
GM_Kadann | When the time comes, i will be needing some testers for these new applications, and will come to the VE channel |
GM_Kadann | Those of you who are here, will get a chance to test them out (even get to see the parts you'd never know about) |
GM_Kadann | ;) |
GM_Kadann | that is all i have to say |
GM_Kadann | the floor is yours, Threeof4 |
FM_Threeof4 | HG Crysus your report |
HG_Crysus_VA_Jackal | Army: |
HG_Crysus_VA_Jackal | The army is doing well, we have new recruits coming in, |
HG_Crysus_VA_Jackal | and they seem to be getting through the academy well. |
HG_Crysus_VA_Jackal | We are taking time to get back to normal business, and most |
HG_Crysus_VA_Jackal | are awaiting the promotions from the IOC before they do any real |
HG_Crysus_VA_Jackal | work that has been planned during the IOC. There will be people moving |
HG_Crysus_VA_Jackal | around in squads and positions, but we were waiting until the IOC is over |
HG_Crysus_VA_Jackal | so that we don't have to keep going back and changing ranks everywhere. |
HG_Crysus_VA_Jackal | So look forward to new developments from the Army very soon. Some developments |
HG_Crysus_VA_Jackal | will be the position changes, there will also be new positions made. We will |
HG_Crysus_VA_Jackal | also be starting another campaign/competition, but this one will be for |
HG_Crysus_VA_Jackal | recruiting. |
HG_Crysus_VA_Jackal | I am working on a temporary site for the Army, but I still need to do some |
HG_Crysus_VA_Jackal | work on it, but I think it will be ok for a temp. site. The address is |
HG_Crysus_VA_Jackal | http://www.the-federation.org/Misc/Vast_Empire_Army/main.html |
HG_Crysus_VA_Jackal | If you have any questions or comments about it, just send them to me in private. |
HG_Crysus_VA_Jackal | I also created a page for our elite squad (currently Squad 1: Iron Horses). This site |
HG_Crysus_VA_Jackal | will be used as the intro for the elite squad. If another squad becomes the elite squad- |
HG_Crysus_VA_Jackal | due to competitions, then I will simply change the info and links. Here is the address for |
HG_Crysus_VA_Jackal | that: http://www.the-federation.org/Misc/Vast_Empire_Army/elite.html |
HG_Crysus_VA_Jackal | These addresses will be changing if people seem to like the ideas. I will either |
HG_Crysus_VA_Jackal | get them loaded up on the VE domain, or just redirect with cjb.net. |
HG_Crysus_VA_Jackal | IOC: |
HG_Crysus_VA_Jackal | The Campaign is over, and Craff is taking some time to tally the scores up. I am |
HG_Crysus_VA_Jackal | ready to update the page as soon as I get the email from him, and I check over |
HG_Crysus_VA_Jackal | the scores to make sure they are right. I am hoping this will be done by sometime |
HG_Crysus_VA_Jackal | in the middle of this week. If you have any questions (which I don't think you will) |
HG_Crysus_VA_Jackal | send them to me - [email protected] |
HG_Crysus_VA_Jackal | Navy: |
HG_Crysus_VA_Jackal | The Devastator just got a new Wing Commander- I am pleased to announce that |
HG_Crysus_VA_Jackal | 1LT Keith Vaddocx has been chosen to be the Wing Commander onboard the Devastator. |
HG_Crysus_VA_Jackal | He has also been promoted accordingly to Lt. Commander. For now he will also |
HG_Crysus_VA_Jackal | remain as the squadron leader for Sting Squadron. |
HG_Crysus_VA_Jackal | The Devastator is coming alive, and I plan on working closely with Majere to get |
HG_Crysus_VA_Jackal | some little competitions going. Kaph squadron seems to want that elite title badly. |
| * HG_Crysus_VA_Jackal sits down. |
HG_Crysus_VA_Jackal | That's all |
FM_Threeof4 | well then |
FM_Threeof4 | Atrus anything to add? |

FM_Threeof4 | open the floor for questions |
SA_Majere | Kaph is simply.....the best |
HG_Crysus_VA_Jackal | I just want to bring something to everyone's attention, if I may |
FM_Threeof4 | please crysus |
HG_Crysus_VA_Jackal | Spartacus, and Tiana recently retired from the VE, it is on the comnet. |
FM_Threeof4 | Thank you crysus. |

HG_Crysus_VA_Jackal | not from me. |
Sesswanna | I'd like to pipe in |

Sesswanna | I'll be resigning, as well |
Sesswanna | right after I fulfill my responsibility of finding someone to replace me in my position |
FM_Threeof4 | i'm sorry to hear that |
SA_Majere | I would like to say something to everyone |
SA_Majere | if i may |
SA_Majere | i will wait for my turn though |
FM_Threeof4 | go ahead |
HG_Crysus_VA_Jackal | I don't think anyone is competing for the floor. |
SA_Majere | Sess- please pay attention as this is directed at you - tiana - and Spart |
SA_Majere | lately i have been unbearable |
SA_Majere | Atrus - Tiana- Spart, and Threeof4 can attest to this |
SA_Majere | i have been through hell in life recently - and it's not over yet |
SA_Majere | i went through a company layoff |
SA_Majere | got a divorce |
SA_Majere | and the first time in my life i will be alone for the holiday |
SA_Majere | you can only see how i feel if you are in a big family like me |
SA_Majere | for that i took my anger, frustration, etc all out on some people i considered my friends |
SA_Majere | even yesterday i bit the head off of Tiana for saying something - she didn't deserve it |
SA_Majere | i apologize - ask for your forgiveness - and i hope that some day we can be friends again |
SA_Majere | this will be the last time i speak of this - for i am dropping my pride to be a human being here |
SA_Majere | thank you -= if there is nothing else..... |
SA_Majere | this meeting is finished - thank you |
