| GM_Kadann | Welcome all to another Vast Empire meeting |
| GM_Kadann | In case you hadn't noticed, we have a new ally |
| GM_Kadann | You can read more about them under our ally link on the main VE page |
| | * HG_Fury looks up |
| GM_Kadann | I have also announced the new bot name for KadBot...which is 'Hal' |
| GM_Kadann | This name may or may not work seeing as it is quite difficult to parse the messages to determine if someone is talking to 'hal' |
| GM_Kadann | Also, It's that time again |
| GM_Kadann | Time for the VE Anniversary celebration |
| GM_Kadann | I'll be posting up some information on this later today so keep a look out for that |
| GM_Kadann | Talon, you have something to report this week? |
| SM_DJM_Talon|COM_CEO_Claw | I guess I could say a few words. Thanks. |
| * SM_DJM_Talon|COM_CEO_Claw stands and smooths out his uniform as he approaches the podium |
| SM_DJM_Talon|COM_CEO_Claw | Many people have been asking about Chapter 8's status. It's not quite finished yet. We need to tie it up. The majority of the posting is done, it's just that things fell to the sidelines when I left on deployment. I will be looking into wrapping the chapter up soon, so no worries. For those that are waiting for the next chapter, now's a good time for a small mission. |
| SM_DJM_Talon|COM_CEO_Claw | I've had a few attempts at the 2 million ICs for beating me at Jedi Knight, but nothing successful yet. Just remember that you lose only your pride when you lose to me, so step right up and give it a shot. I have a habit of teaching people as I play, so you may some day get me. ;) |
| SM_DJM_Talon|COM_CEO_Claw | For some reason I've been getting back into Battlefront now that it's been out a while. I'm not that great, but I have fun playing it. If you want to whip some Rebel posterior together sometime, let me know. |
| SM_DJM_Talon|COM_CEO_Claw | I may start up a competition for that too soon. |
| SM_DJM_Talon|COM_CEO_Claw | We'll see what the demand for that is. |
| SM_DJM_Talon|COM_CEO_Claw | That's all I have from the Operations Office today. |
| * SM_DJM_Talon|COM_CEO_Claw takes his seat |
| GM_Kadann | Thanks Talon |
| GM_Kadann | Now on to some division reports |
| GM_Kadann | If anyone has the Navy report this week, msg me now |
| GM_Kadann | Fury, you have the Army report this week? |
| HG_Fury | I do. Not that I have a lot to report |
| HG_Fury | I am now receiving reports from most squad leaders on a regular basis. |
| HG_Fury | To which I say, thank you. |
| HG_Fury | We are having a discussion on creating a promotion board to streamline a process that has always been pretty random. Basically that of promotions and of awarding medals. |
| HG_Fury | Hopefully this is something we can use the Command Center for down the road as well. |
| HG_Fury | Meanwhile we are discussing the rules and procedures to help this along. |
| HG_Fury | We are also looking to revamp squad websites and possibly move them to domain space. If you are an SL that has not put your two cents into this discussion, do so. If you are a squad member who wants to contribute to this, get a hold of your SLs. |
| HG_Fury | I am looking for a quick storyline but have not run it past the SLs. So, given that school is wrapping up and many of us are in transition in some way, I was hoping a low intensity story might pass the time without being too involved. |
| HG_Fury | More on that if the idea passes muster. |
| HG_Fury | Excitement is up due to the movie coming out. We need to get our best face on for new members, of which we have many new ones coming in. We also need to - without being obnoxious - get our club out their as a known entity. |
| HG_Fury | Post on boards where necessary and put us in the tag line. |
| HG_Fury | Talk us up where you can. |
| HG_Fury | That's it for me this week. |
| GM_Kadann | Thanks Fury |
| GM_Kadann | Shazam, you have the Navy report this week? |
| CWO_Shazam | Yea... |
| CWO_Shazam | I suppose I've got just two or three things to say and then you guys can go hang out with you moms |
| CWO_Shazam | First off, awesom activity this week, and I must say that we're really starting to come back together |
| CWO_Shazam | I'm talking almost ten post on the Nazgul vacation story in a day |
| CWO_Shazam | that's pretty darn good |
| CWO_Shazam | Also, our new members are really showing their potential, and I'll be requesting some promotions soon, so watch out for that |
| CWO_Shazam | and last, but most certainly not least, I put a new poll on the website,(that's freewebs.com/nazgulsq), so check that out |
| CWO_Shazam | So, good week, and I should probably start reinforcing reports, but I got caught up in the activity |
| CWO_Shazam | Awesome job guys, keep it up |
| CWO_Shazam | Thanks Kad |
| GM_Kadann | Thanks Shazam |
| CWO_Shazam | Rock on |
| GM_Kadann | Don't forget to say thanks to your Mothers today |
| GM_Kadann | Fury, you have something else to add? |
| HG_Fury | Thanks. |
| HG_Fury | A couple things really. |
| HG_Fury | One, Imperial Center will (once I get off my butt) begin the Dawn of the Empire Days promotion. |
| HG_Fury | Existing Clone Wars era gear will be on sale. |
| HG_Fury | New items will come in stock as the days go by. |
| | * GM_Kadann cheers |
| HG_Fury | We will start off, predictably, with starfighters. |
| HG_Fury | Those who always wanted a droid army will finally get the chance...given the credits to do so, of course. |
| HG_Fury | You WILL find spoiler-ish items if you haven't paid much attention, so be warned. |
| HG_Fury | More details as the days go by. |
| HG_Fury | The second item is something that I have personally seen, and that has been brought to my attention. |
| HG_Fury | We still have a lot of bickering and fighting and abuse thrown from one member to the next. |
| HG_Fury | We also have a lot of focus on the "nuts and bolts" detail stuff in at least the army division. |
| HG_Fury | May I offer the following two caveats as we move forward? |
| HG_Fury | 1. Play Nice. |
| HG_Fury | 2. Have Fun. |
| HG_Fury | That's it. |
| GM_Kadann | Thank you Fury |
| GM_Kadann | well said |

| GM_Kadann | That's all for this week |
