CMD_Shazam | Ahh |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | Welcome to another Vast Empire weekly meeting. |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | We'll start with the Navy division report, so I'll hand this over to Shaz. |
| * CMD_Shazam looks around |
CMD_Shazam | Oh |
CMD_Shazam | I suppose I'll start off by letting everyone know that I'm back and should be for some time |
CMD_Shazam | I kind of had a vacation sneak up on me- told everyone else but the folks here about it. |
CMD_Shazam | What I've found on my return is a bit disappointing, but to be expected |
CMD_Shazam | As Arturus mentioned to me today, around this time last year activity really started to slow down, and that's probably due to any number of reasons, but school seems to be the best one |
CMD_Shazam | What I have been encouraging is that we clean up our rosters to reflect the true members of our squadrons, even if they're only on leave- otherwise we don't know what to expect from ourselves. People scratch thier heads when they see such a small number of post but the squadron is still over half full |
CMD_Shazam | The good news is that we've still got people coming in and there are some folks posting: our leaders try pretty hard. |
CMD_Shazam | Speaking of new members, could I have CRW Sol step down? |
| * CRW_Sol steps down |
CMD_Shazam | For completing your Aviator's Exam with perfect marks, you've been promoted to the rank of Senior Crewman |
CMD_Shazam | congratulations |
| * CMD_Shazam salutes |
| * CRW_Sol salutes |
CMD_Shazam | Thankyou- Sol has also been sent to Nazgul Squadron, so hopefully he'll do well there |
CMD_Shazam | We have one other member I think will be through BT either today or early tomarrow, but more on that later |
CMD_Shazam | I thought I'd just encourage people stay active for this week- help one another out: don't turn it into a chore. IN the meantime, I'll do my best to get the Skills and Studies section of the Wiki done so we can start implementing it |
CMD_Shazam | my hope is that, with the help of a page or map that details all of our pilots options, we can draw people back more effectively and make more stable groups come summer time |
CMD_Shazam | Also, Etan Evenstar is to be promoted to SCRW- that was meant for a few weeks ago but I didn't have the opportunity to update the Roster or announce it |
CMD_Shazam | I think that's about all for this week. |
CMD_Shazam | Blue skies, folks |
| * CMD_Shazam nods and steps back |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | Thank's Shaz. |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | We'll start with the Army report. Gunnery Sergeant Jakireth, you have something for Paladin? |
INI_GSG_Jakireth | Aye. |
INI_GSG_Jakireth | Might I say as a little blurb, and for all those that aren't here right now, I commend all of my members for excellent activity. |
INI_GSG_Jakireth | We've remained quite steadfast on the path to Army excellence. |
INI_GSG_Jakireth | But for the specifics: Because of her fantastic IRC activity, and wonderful ability to help Paladin squad members when I and Alan are not around, PFC Finch is hereby promoted to LCPL, and is to receive the Emperor's Shield, First Class. |
INI_GSG_Jakireth | Maybe even a Correllian Whiskey, I'm nice like that. |
INI_GSG_Jakireth | That's all from my side of the barracks. |
INI_GSG_Jakireth | Thanks. |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | Thanks, Jak. |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | I started a mini-squad competition earlier this week - the winning squad's members would receive 30,000 ICs. |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | So, here are this week's results. |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | Five squads have sent in their post counts. |
GG_Fury | !orderfor LCPL_Finch cwhiskey |
| * tsume gives LCPL_Finch a tall glass of Corellian Whiskey and puts it on GG_Fury's tab. |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | Fifth place: Dark Dragoons |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | Fourth place: Paladin |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | Third place: Eclipse |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | Second place: Raiders |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | First place, and the winner of 30,000 IC's/member: Wraith |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | It turns out that I have a good 29+ million ICs in my account, so I will be awarding ICs to all of the participating squads. 1st Place would receive 30k, 2nd 15k, etc. |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | Congratulations to those squads that have participated - I'm hoping we can have more competitions like this to provoke activity. |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | Ah, and for a reminder, Jak has informed me to remind you all that he's matching another 30k ICs for the winning squad. |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | I'll hand this over to your local Prefect. ;) |
| * KPT_MG_Cosmic steps down |
GG_Fury | How goes troopers? |
GG_Fury | (and our esteemed pilots as well) |
| * CMD_Shazam salutes modestly |
GG_Fury | Looks like the high points were hit for the Army and I thank Cosmic for that |
GG_Fury | Actually, Cosmic has been doing a lot around here lately. |
GG_Fury | Revamping the Academy, filling in where he can for myself and others, doing lots of activity promotion and graphics work. |
GG_Fury | It is high time someone promoted him. |
GG_Fury | That would be me. |
GG_Fury | Could you step up here please? |
| * KPT_MG_Cosmic stands and takes his side opposite Fury |
GG_Fury | Cosmic, this is long overdue and very well deserved, so please do me the honor of allowing me to promote you to Lieutenant General. |
| * GG_Fury salutes |
| * KPT_MG_Cosmic salutes |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | Thank you, General. |
GG_Fury | Thank you. Seriously. |
| * CMD_Shazam applauds along with rest of auditorium |
GG_Fury | Open bar after the meeting. Take that seriously too. |
KPT_MG_Cosmic | /nick KPT_LG_Cosmic |
GG_Fury | Alright, that is primarily what I ran home to do as I've been trying to do so for a couple weeks here. |
GG_Fury | You all thank Cosmic for a great job please. |
GG_Fury | One more minor note for squad leaders and above. |
GG_Fury | I have some initial notes for Chapter 8.5 that I will hopefully post tonight. |
GG_Fury | I'd like some volunteers for various mission elements and I'd like to get that formalized this week if I can. |
GG_Fury | Also, I would like to discuss some of this with the Navy if at all possible as I believe we have a role for you folks if you would like. |
| * CMD_Shazam lifts eyebrow |
GG_Fury | That would be all for me however, other than to thank Cosmic again. |
GG_Fury | We have one more item from Darr. |
SSG_Darr-Rann|WO2_Demonic | Hey. |
SSG_Darr-Rann|WO2_Demonic | I'd just like to remind you guys that we're running the VERPG every friday at 7EST - However, because of server problems and other factors this week, the session is after the meeting today |
SSG_Darr-Rann|WO2_Demonic | I'd also like the announce, that due to the sucsess of the RPG, I'm announcing a second RPG to run simultaniously (Saturdays at 7EST, not fridays though) |
SSG_Darr-Rann|WO2_Demonic | Keyon Modern - Set a few thousand years after our current RPG, it should present an interesting change. It uses the same base rules as the main rpg, so anyone interested should contact me before next week. |
SSG_Darr-Rann|WO2_Demonic | Anyhow, that's all I have for now. |
GG_Fury | Alright, thanks Darr. |
GG_Fury | Anything I am forgetting this week? |
GG_Fury | If not, we'll close out this meeting and wish you all a good, productive, entertaining week. |
GG_Fury | Alrighty, have a good one. |
