|FAD|KT|Japheth| | Welcome, all, to another Vast Empire weekly meeting. |
|FAD|KT|Japheth| | I think most of our representation is unprepared, so I'll go first to give them a chance to figure out what to say. |
|FAD|KT|Japheth| | On the VE front as a whole, some of you may be aware of the Outer Rim War that is currently ongoing. |
|FAD|KT|Japheth| | I'm going to be speaking with the other HC members during this week to see what we want to offer as incintives for participation. Gaming used to much a much larger facet of this organization, so it'd be nice to see a bit of a resurgence there. |
|FAD|KT|Japheth| | I'd esspecially like to congratulate Arturus and Kairo who've been largely holding down the fort for the VE in the ORW. |
|FAD|KT|Japheth| | Ah, I should throw this in here I suppose: If you've got anything you want to add to parts of the meeting, pm it to me and I'll try to fit it in. |
|FAD|KT|Japheth| | Alright, now I'm gonna pass the floor to Kadann. Take it away! |
GM_Kadann | Thanks Japheth |
GM_Kadann | Looks like we actually started on time this week..hehe |
GM_Kadann | If anyone has the Army report, msg me now |
GM_Kadann | I am going to be going on leave for about a week starting today |
GM_Kadann | I will be spending a lot of time packing up my house and getting ready for the move |
GM_Kadann | I'll be checking email and reading the ComNet in the meantime |
GM_Kadann | Next weekend is when I'll be totally offline for a few days while I travel |
GM_Kadann | I should be back up and running the following week sometime...around Feb 27th |
GM_Kadann | Cosmic, you have something from the Army this week? |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | Aye, small but exciting. ;) |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | In a previous meeting, I stated that the new Academy would be up within the first week or so of February. The Academy is at 99% completion. ;) I have just submitted the proposal (possibly final proposal for a while) of the email template that recruits will receive upon joining the Army division. Upon the AHC's approval, the email template will be sent to Kadann for implimentation. Once that's complete, the Academy will officially |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | Unfortunately, both Hashi and Aeos had to pull out from the duties of Assistant Commander of Training, leaving the remaining ACoT's to be Darr and Kami. However, due to her exceptional performance and demonstration, both on the field and in mIRC, Lance Corporal Namyr has offered her assistance in this matter to become an ACoT. |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | Although she is not here, I'd like to spend this time to congratulate her on her successful nomination, and promote her to the rank of Sergeant. |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | For future reference for ACoT candidates, the minimum rank requirement I'm wanting to see from all Assistant Commanders of Training is Sergeant. Having Corporals and/or Lance Corporals as Commanders of Training (a position of authority) doesn't exactly mix in well with the lower ranks. ;) |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | I know Grand Moff Kadann is heading off for a while to get settled in, but upon his return, I'm sure the Vast Empire will be welcoming the new Stormtrooper Corps Academy. |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | That's all from me. |
GM_Kadann | Thanks Cosmic |
GM_Kadann | Jakireth, you have something to add? |
INI_SGT_Jakireth | Yes, sir. |
INI_SGT_Jakireth | It's no secret that the Army is somewhat lacking in it's overall activity, and it is quite easy to see, even being back for only a few days. |
INI_SGT_Jakireth | The recent squad-story competition was fantastic, even with our newly formed Eclipse coming in second, but as we fall back to our original squads, things seem to...disintegrate. |
INI_SGT_Jakireth | As Japh mentioned, gaming hasn't been brought into the everyday scheme of things as much as it used to; in fact, that was the sole factor of which I joined. The writing fell into place after that. |
INI_SGT_Jakireth | Remember all, the existence of the VE isn't simply to promote fan fiction (which we do very well), but gaming and art concepts should fill in equally. |
INI_SGT_Jakireth | If anyone has a game they think would work well in multiplayer, let someone know! Pop into IRC with an idea, or even spread around your art! |
INI_SGT_Jakireth | The more people we get interested, the faster this will become habit. It's also a holding factor for new recruits, finding the inconsistent activity somewhat... in need of seasoning ;) |
INI_SGT_Jakireth | And for all my NSs out there, you can lok forward to great changes within the squad. Those will be announced soon. |
INI_SGT_Jakireth | We have plenty of new squad leaders around, and they are greatly encouraged to take initiative. It starts at that level, folks, in this atmosphere and out. Lets all work together to bring the Vast Empire as a whole back to full capacity, and start a new generation of activity. |
INI_SGT_Jakireth | Enough of my blabbing, I wish you all a great day. |
GM_Kadann | Thanks Jakireth |
GM_Kadann | Japheth, you have something from the Navy? |
|FAD|KT|Japheth| | I do, indeed. |
|FAD|KT|Japheth| | In the Navy, we're seeing a steadily increasing rate of activity, which had been on a decline until recently. The squadrons are involved in stories of their own making, which are moving along nicely. |
|FAD|KT|Japheth| | In other news, Than Sion was promoted to Chief Warrant Officer and awarded an upgrade of the Victory Cross for his successful completion of the now arduous Master Aviator's exam. He has also become the Executive Officer of Kaph Squadron, as Demonic has recently requested a move to the reserves. |
|FAD|KT|Japheth| | Also, Shazam is also offering a 15K IC bounty to everyone in the Navy that updates their wiki page�s information by the end of the weekend, certainly an easy way to make some quick cash. |
|FAD|KT|Japheth| | The Naval Academy has also recently created the Stars of the Academy, an award to encourage swift completion of the Academy's initial curriculum. I�ve also altered the roster a small bit, I made positions for some of the crewmembers on the Doashim, as there really weren�t positions in place for people crewing a ship, rather than being pilots. |
|FAD|KT|Japheth| | And thats really about it for the Navy this week. |
GM_Kadann | Thanks Japheth |
GM_Kadann | That's all I have this week |
GM_Kadann | I won't be around for the meeting next week, so someone else will have to run it |
GM_Kadann | Thanks to all who came today |
GM_Kadann | Dismissed! |
