GM_Kadann | Welcome all to another Vast Empire meeting |
GM_Kadann | I've still been pretty busy lately with selling my house and such |
GM_Kadann | Hopefully I'll get some more time here soon so I can work on a few more things |
GM_Kadann | I've been also doing a few minor updates to sites to make them more search engine friendly |
GM_Kadann | Looks like we have a good turnout today, so we'll be having a lottery drawing at the end of the meeting |
GM_Kadann | Let's move onto some division reports |
GM_Kadann | Cosmic, you have something from the Army? |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | Aye, I do. |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | I was initially just going to give an Academy update, but I decided (after talks with Fury about getting the VE Army back to it's former glory) that we should start taking action now. |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | So, first off, Academy update. The Academy, I'm pleased to announce, is on the verge of becoming fully operational. I had assigned the Assistant Commanders of Training the task of creating some basic Echelon exam templates for use. Both Kami and Aeos have sent them in, and I'm very pleased with their work. I'll be working on rough draft examinations for each Echelon and should be sending in some of these proposals today at the ear |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but I'm confident that the new Academy will definately be up and running in early February. |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | Now, on to the next subject - former glory. It used to be that everyone looked forward to the weekend meetings because that's when all of your hardwork was paid off. In recent years, we've slacked off in awarding those that have earned their rewards, so we're trying to get back to that original state. |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | Seeing as the Raiders are the ones that have won the HSC, and that Sergeant Darr-Rann was the only Squad Leader (that I saw) that offered recommendations for rewards, I'll begin with them for this week. |
| * KPT_MG_Cosmic sifts through the paperwork |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | Alrighty. Found it. Sorry for the wait. ;) |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | Sergeant Darr-Rann, will you please step forward. |
| * SGT_Darr-Rann|WO2_Demonic steps forward |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | For your much-appreciated hard work as Squad Leader and as a soldier of the Vast Empire Stormtrooper Corps, you are hereby elevated to the rank of Senior Sergeant. Congratulations. |

KPT_MG_Cosmic | For your great dedication to the Stormtrooper Corps Army, and your outstanding performance as both soldier and comrade, you are hereby elevated to the rank of Sergeant. |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | Also, but recommendation of your superiors, you are hereby awarded two medals. |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | Seeing as I can only bestow one of them, I'll do the one that I can, which is the Cross of Resolve. |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | Cross of Resolve [CoR] - A medal given to the troopers that from day to day show manners and activity befitting an officer. These troopers are very active and ready to help the Vast Empire any way they can. This medal may be given out by Company Commander�s and above. |

SFC_Kairo | thank you sir |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | Thank you for your service. |
SFC_Kairo | And while I'm up here, I'll sneak in a congrats to my platoon. Without them, I couldn't have gotten this. |
| * SFC_Kairo steps down |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | It doesn't look like any of the Dark Dragoons are here, but these are for their efforts: |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | Private First Class Durrandal, Kael, and Urukai are all promoted to Lance Corporal. |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | And by recommendation, Lance Corporal Urukai is also awarded the Ring of Merit. |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | Ring of Merit [RoM] - A ring for troopers that have given their life, shown their bravery, and displayed their courage by giving one hundred percent in a competition or campaign. The Army High Command may award this medal to any trooper that has displayed these traits. |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | And for her excellence and great acheivements, Gunnery Sergeant Kami is hereby promoted to Sergeant First Class. |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | For the moment, that is all I have. There are some individuals that have been recommended for medals that I cannot bestow, so they may be getting those as well. Also, for those who did (and did not receive awards/promotions today), expect a more detailed Army report by the Army High Command with more commendations. |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | Congratulations to all that have been recognized. For those who haven't, check out the Army report, and here's hoping for the original VE fun. ;) |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | That is all. |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | I thank you all for your patience. I know this was a long one. |
| * GM_Kadann wakes up |
CMD_Shazam | Suppose it's my turn? |
CMD_Shazam | Lol |
| * GM_Kadann clears his throat |
GM_Kadann | ok....thanks Cosmic |
GM_Kadann | Congrats to all who were given awards |
GM_Kadann | You've all been doing a great job |
GM_Kadann | Shazam, you have something from the Navy? |
CMD_Shazam | ? |
CMD_Shazam | Oh yes |
| * CMD_Shazam sifts through papers |
CMD_Shazam | Now, I'd just like to echo what Cosmic said- it's very important everyone comes to the meetings |
CMD_Shazam | so... |
CMD_Shazam | THE FIRST ONE TO PM TOKIJIN WITH 'IT'S CHRISTMAS, HARRY!" GET'S A PROMOTIONS! |
CMD_Shazam | But anyways |
CMD_Shazam | That's not a joke, btw |
CMD_Shazam | Oh- and everyone get's one |
CMD_Shazam | just wanted to see who was on thier toes |
CMD_Shazam | Now then, down to business |
CMD_Shazam | A few of you may have seen, but for those of you who haven't |
CMD_Shazam | I've stepped back from the Nazgul Commander position and I'd like to present thier new commander |
CMD_Shazam | 2Lt. Jaden will be heading Nazgul for the times ahead, and I'd just like to let my group know their in good hands |
CMD_Shazam | Now- why did I pull back? |
CMD_Shazam | In short- the Navy has really been in the dumpster as of late- I can't juggle three jobs at once around here and still be effective- rather, I've relegated myself so that I can do a few things a whole lot better |
CMD_Shazam | First off, as Wing Commander, I've created a taskforce to red flag our problems in the Navy, create solutions to those problems and assign members to correct them |
CMD_Shazam | Furthermore, immediate changes in the way we do everyday business is at hand- expect greater emphasis on the role of Fls and XOs and a greater overall communication within every squadron |
CMD_Shazam | Also- the Academy has received very, very little recruits |
CMD_Shazam | actually, I shouldn't say that- we've received an incredible number of recruits |
CMD_Shazam | very little that every make it to the ComNet though |
CMD_Shazam | I assure you that either myself or a member of the VENA-Staff looks through every admission and sends a personlized message telling that member exactly what to do |
CMD_Shazam | so why aren't they coming? |
CMD_Shazam | Very simply- we're explaining the wrong thing. |
CMD_Shazam | Since the fall of flight simulators in the last three or four years, the Navy has had an especially difficult time in drawing members that can actually game- those members make up the majority of the VE's surplus |
CMD_Shazam | Though the members don't make it to the ComNet, on about eighty percent of the applications they express interest in D20 gaming- that's gaming, just not the type we're used to |
CMD_Shazam | thus, if we can get that eighty-percent to do what they want to do- won't we have that eighty percent? |
CMD_Shazam | As of right now, I'm asking all members of the VE for help in creating a suitable Naval RPG that can be used through IRC, can be easilly managed and realistically created within the month |
CMD_Shazam | Furthermore, additions to the Academy will have to include basic RPG templates, easy to follow instructions, and new instructors- people that can run other's through the process. IN short- we need to create our RPG |
CMD_Shazam | I realize Demonic is hard at work on something of his own, but we need something sooner than that. Yes, our Squadrons are hard at work, they're becoming more organized, efficient and controlled- but that will mean little if we don't have suitable members to participate. |
CMD_Shazam | So- Navy or Army, keep my words in mind and offer whatever solutions you can: they'll be checked out and I'll see to it that those who give good ideas will be rewarded and can receive proper credit. |
CMD_Shazam | And, for those send Toki a PM, you'll also be receiving 10,000 ICs because you decided to show up to a meeting: as you can see, we announce things here :) |
CMD_Shazam | I believe that's about all I have to say- each squadron should know that they're jobs as of right now are to address themselves to the above objectives and fulfill any duties to thier squadrons like writing, giving ideas for future stories or assisting in the retreival of our pilots. |
CMD_Shazam | Recruiting is important, but making those recruits into members is more so. |
CMD_Shazam | Thank you for your time. |
