GM_Kadann | Welcome all to another Vast Empire meeting |
GM_Kadann | I've been pretty busy lately so not had a lot of time to work on much |
GM_Kadann | But I should be getting some more time to devote to things |
GM_Kadann | Let's go ahead and do some division reports |
GM_Kadann | Fury, you have something from the Army today? |
GG_Fury | I do. |
GG_Fury | I apologize for being away for much of the recent past. Business has taken over my schedule but seems to be easing off for awhile. |
GG_Fury | A couple things I would like to address off the bat. |
GG_Fury | First, there has been a rash of really poor behavior by a few of the members. We have cancelled the relative freedom of Night Shift because of this and KadBot has had his enforcer module turned back on. |
GG_Fury | I would apologize for this restrictive environment but it frankly isn't my fault that things are this way. |
GG_Fury | I'd like to thank those who have reported incidents. There was a lot of information without any pointed snitching or finger pointing. Folks just let events speak for themselves. |
GG_Fury | I appreciate that and applaud the mature behavior of most of our members. |
GG_Fury | I hope we can loosen the reins a bit in the coming days and get back to having some more fun around here. |
GG_Fury | I would also like to address a recent incident of planned insurrection in the Corps. |
GG_Fury | We are still assessing our response but I would like to advise you all that plotting to violate CoCs or go along with such a plot is grounds for character termination and permanent ban from the Corps if we deem the situation serious enough. |
GG_Fury | That's my scare tactic statement but if events warrant it, we will take action. |
GG_Fury | I spent way too long with the last such incident and overall morale suffered for it. This will be dealt with as soon as I get my facts correct. |
GG_Fury | Alright, on to more fun things |
GG_Fury | First off, Fish is back and is looking to revive the ARCs. |
GG_Fury | I'll be submitting a mission outline to him soon to see if he likes it. |
GG_Fury | As for the rest of you, I found that while we wait for Chapter 9, the Corps is going to intervene in the Borderlands conflict and set some accounts to rights. |
GG_Fury | Get ready for a multi-planet campaign with quick strikes and a variety of missions. |
GG_Fury | We will not be working for territorial gains but the set both the New Republic and Thrawnists back a few steps. |
GG_Fury | Details should be forthcoming to your commanders and squad leaders. |
GG_Fury | I have noticed activity is on a real low level right now |
GG_Fury | Hopefully this stirs people into action. |
GG_Fury | That said, I hope to see a change in the army that gets everyone motivated to participate more. |
GG_Fury | As such, only one big kudo to announce today. |
GG_Fury | SGT Leon has been recommended for a medal for his activities of late and this has been approved. |
GG_Fury | I was hoping he would be here today, but congratulate him when you see him. |
GG_Fury | Leon is granted the Emperor's Shield, Second Class, bestowed for outstanding service to the Empire |
GG_Fury | That is all from me. I want to turn over the rest of the army report to Rizzit |
COL_Rizzit | thank you Fury |
COL_Rizzit | now, as most of you know I've been running the Stormtrooper Specialization Stories for a few years now |
COL_Rizzit | the troopers choose a specialty and get a whole roster worth of stories to write on their own, and upon completion recieve a promotion |
COL_Rizzit | I'm very pleased to announce that quite recently, someone has finally completed their entire program! |
COL_Rizzit | I was hoping he would be here to recieve his promotion, but he is on a mini-vacation currently |
COL_Rizzit | Platoon Sergeant Kairo is hereby promoted to First Sergeant |
COL_Rizzit | he will be starting scout later this week after completing his vehicle crewman specialty |
COL_Rizzit | be sure and congratulate him when you see him |
COL_Rizzit | that's all from me. |
GG_Fury | Alright, thanks Rizzit. I will hopefully be here next week with better news. Have a good week troopers. |
| * GG_Fury steps down |
GM_Kadann | Thanks Fury |
GM_Kadann | Japheth, you have something to report today? |
| * |FAD|KT|Japheth| steps up. |
|FAD|KT|Japheth| | I do. |
|FAD|KT|Japheth| | Alright, a least one big thing from me today. I must sadly announce my retirement from the post of Naval Commander in Chief today. |
|FAD|KT|Japheth| | As several of you are, I�m sure, aware, I�ve been having a hard time with school. That, combined with my overall low activity in the past several months and an anticipated lack of free time in the foreseeable future has led me to the decision that the only responsible course of action for me is to retire. |
|FAD|KT|Japheth| | I�ve been speaking to the High Council about this for a while, already, and I�m sure they�ll have a few announcements regarding my former post and whatnot. |
|FAD|KT|Japheth| | Needless to say, its been a fun ride, I�ve enjoyed myself an awful lot here in the last five years, I grew a lot as a writer and (a long time ago) as a gamer. |
|FAD|KT|Japheth| | I don�t really want to retire, but it is for the best. I�d like to thank everyone who has worked with me during this time an offer a salute for everyone�s hard work in keeping this place great. |
| * |FAD|KT|Japheth| salutes. |
| * |FAD|KT|Japheth| sits back down. |
GM_Kadann | We're sorry to see you go Japheth |
GM_Kadann | You've done the VE a great service with fixing up the Navy |
GM_Kadann | You will surely be missed |
GM_Kadann | Just make sure to pop online every once in awhile to say hi |
GM_Kadann | Now comes something that the HC has been discussing for awhile now; and have been dreading to see it actually have to take place |
|FAD|KT|Japheth| | Will do. |
GM_Kadann | But, with the retirement of Japheth, this might be the best time to do this |
GM_Kadann | We've noticed that the activity of the Navy has been lacking |
GM_Kadann | Also, the number of 'active' members in the Navy have seemed to slowly dwindle away |
GM_Kadann | As a result, we will be rolling all the Naval members into the Stormtrooper Corps |
GM_Kadann | There will be a new detachment created in the Army for the Navy members |
GM_Kadann | This will be kind of like a Marines detachment |
GM_Kadann | We've been toying with this idea for awhile now; and it just makes sense to do this with Japheth retiring |
GM_Kadann | All the current Navy members will be required to go through the Army's basic training |
GM_Kadann | This will ensure that all Navy members are up to speed with how the Army works |
GM_Kadann | As far as the current Navy ranks go; when transferring to the Army, you will be fitted with an equivalent Army rank |
GM_Kadann | Colonel Shazam will be heading up the new Army detachment |
GM_Kadann | Fury will be working with him to get the roster all setup for the new detachment |
GM_Kadann | All other navy members are to report to Major General Cosmic to start your basic training |
GM_Kadann | And we wish you luck in the future Japheth |
GM_Kadann | I need 3 volunteers for a lottery drawing |
