GM_Kadann | Welcome all to another Vast Empire meeting |
GM_Kadann | We're still experiencing some difficulties with the VE IRC server |
GM_Kadann | Hopefully that will be online soon |
GM_Kadann | If someone has the Army and Navy reports, msg me now |
GM_Kadann | Fury had to leave for something he was already committed to |
GM_Kadann | Actually, Fury is here |
GG_Fury | Actually, I'm here for a few minutes |
GM_Kadann | And we'll go ahead and start with him since he has to leave soon |
GM_Kadann | Fury, you have a report today? |
GG_Fury | I do. |
GG_Fury | I did not get a lot of reports this week and those I have show an army waiting to do something. |
GG_Fury | I have posted the introduction to Chapter 8.5 on Army Storynet and have also posted the mission orders. |
GG_Fury | It will be up to your squad leaders to post the individual mission threads. |
GG_Fury | However, please read the background info and mission orders and feel free to ask questions or add comments as need be. |
GG_Fury | I will try to answer what I can. |
GG_Fury | Basically, the campaign is as follows. |
GG_Fury | We are developing intelligence that Thrawn is making backdoor deals with the New Republic. One of those deals leaves the NR free to operate in space near the Tapani Sector. |
GG_Fury | Most of these planets was to be independant traders and want out of the war. We are willing to abide by those wishes, but first we have to get the New Republic out of the region. |
GG_Fury | Our job is to help galactic citizens throw off the yoke of oppression. We are not mobilizing to conquer this area of space. |
GG_Fury | Please keep that in mind moving forward. |
GG_Fury | These initial missions will compose part of Phase I. Phase II should bring in our friends in the Navy as we move to confront a greater threat. |
GG_Fury | Good luck and, more importantly, have fun. |
| * GG_Fury steps down |
GM_Kadann | Thanks Fury |
GM_Kadann | Arturus, you have something to report today? |
| * `1LT_Arturus steps up |
`1LT_Arturus | Well as I just announced moments ago, the navy has just begun ESC 2007. I think it is going to be an excellent competition this year with three very strong units and it should do wonders for activity. Good luck to all of the units and the pilots who are, again, competing for individual categories as well |
`1LT_Arturus | I would like to point out for those who have not seen it yet, that updates on the story background have been posted late this week and there have been a few rule clarifications made on the overview thread |
`1LT_Arturus | In addition, the initial rules post has been amended. The amendments deal with categories for graphics and wiki entries so please consult that as you plan your first entries. Shazam has emphasized again that Academy work on the wiki is acceptable and indeed encouraged. |
`1LT_Arturus | If nothing else, your entries will help polish up and fill in some of the gaps that we have in the information for the navy and the academy. It also helps your overall score; I think that alone says enough about that. |
`1LT_Arturus | That is all from me this week. Again, good luck to everyone and may be the best unit and pilot win. The ESC shall conclude on July 7th at 5pm est with a special awards meeting at 7pm that night. |
| * `1LT_Arturus steps back |
GM_Kadann | Thanks Arturus |
GM_Kadann | As you all know, I've just moved into my new place and am busy with unpacking all my stuff |
GM_Kadann | I'll be pretty busy doing that for a week at least |
GM_Kadann | I should then start getting some more time to devote to VE things |
GM_Kadann | As for those of you that have participated in ORW3, I do have rewards for you |
GM_Kadann | Please be patient as I get those together to announce what they are |
GM_Kadann | Then Arturus will be in charge of making sure all those who participated get the correct rewards |
GM_Kadann | Thanks for volunteering Arturus ;) |
GM_Kadann | I don't have much else for today |
GM_Kadann | Thanks to all who came |
GM_Kadann | Hopefully we'll be back on the VE IRC shortly |
GM_Kadann | Dismissed |
