GG_Fury | Alright, folks, welcome to a late Vast Empire meeting |
GG_Fury | Thanks for your patience. |
GG_Fury | I honestly haven't received many reports in my inbox and I haven't checked ComNet all morning. |
GG_Fury | Therefore, I really want to reiterate to all army squads to wrap up your Phase I missions if you have not already. |
GG_Fury | I don't mind character development, but let's get this done and move on. |
GG_Fury | I also need to connect with our navy counterparts to get their part of Phase II going and see what assets they will commit. |
GG_Fury | In the meantime, let me pass this over to the Navy for a few. |
LCP_Shazam | Alright- thanks Fury |
LCP_Shazam | Well, I spoke to Arturus for some technical background, he told me about Fury's template for Fleets or something like that, but I'm not exactly sure where that is or if Fury just mentioned it in passing? |
LCP_Shazam | Either way, I liked the way it distributed the ships and kept one group from being the entire fleet |
LCP_Shazam | One thing I do need to know from Fury here is when we're expected to start our 'Phase II' writing and if I'm allowed to tell peopel the storyline or if it would cross over to the Army folks who don't know what's going on- or do they? |
LCP_Shazam | Again- communication |
LCP_Shazam | Either way- I'm tired of sitting around and I'm just ganna have to push this beast into motion myself |
LCP_Shazam | As for the ESC= I've been talking with people and everyone has thier oppinions on it, obviously |
LCP_Shazam | But at this point, if someone is going to get owned, so be it: they've had plenty of time to gather resources. It's the job of the commander's to kick thier squadrons in shape |
LCP_Shazam | As it stands, I'm fairly sure we'll have a group that makes itself stand out, which is what the ESC is all about |
LCP_Shazam | I can't tell you exactly how it's going to be scored yet, I need to talk with Art and get those numbers he crunched from the first half of the ESC, and if I can't get those then we'll have to go on raw scores. |
LCP_Shazam | As for when it will start- as soon as our part of the story begins. |
LCP_Shazam | I'm looking for good quality here, so expect every flight or small group to have a story made up of its own |
LCP_Shazam | I'll be posting in this story and trying to make sure everyone is still going, but more than anything, I want to see our squadrons running the way they should be. I don't wanna feel like I have to hold someone's hand to get thier group functioning- I'll help but it's not my job to run a squadron. |
LCP_Shazam | We have experienced commanders, some of the best writers in the VE, and a whole hell of a lot of heart- don't tell me we can't write up a story like this: I'll be planning it immedietly following this meeting. |
LCP_Shazam | So- Commanders be responsible, FMs kick butt on your own accord as well as that of your Flight, and get involved: be the one who steps up. Encourage eachother. And have an excellent time- thankyou. |
GG_Fury | Alrighty, thanks for the report |
GG_Fury | Like I said earlier, wrap up your stories, and if the SLs of those squads will give me a heads-up and a quick synopsis of how those missions went, I'll get on churning out orders for the next phase for everyone |
GG_Fury | A note on the Fantasy Football League, the VEFL draft will be this Friday evening at 9:30 Eastern |
GG_Fury | Good luck to everyone and let's have a fun season |
GG_Fury | Before we depart, Cosmic has some news from the Academy. |
KPT_GN_Cosmic | Aye, thank you. |
KPT_GN_Cosmic | Well, all of you know that the Academy has undergone a completely restructure. |
KPT_GN_Cosmic | We've been trying out different ideas, testing methods, etc. |
KPT_GN_Cosmic | Basically working out the kinks in the system. |
KPT_GN_Cosmic | The next idea we have will, I'm hoping, be a more useful method for the Academy to use. |
KPT_GN_Cosmic | Currently, the idea is to have people post their "hey/hello" messages in the Academy comnet. Seeing as we have the four Echelon squads, Darr and I were thinking about making those four squads represent the four general branches of Specialties you can choose from. |
KPT_GN_Cosmic | Those specialties being: Medic, Vehicle Engineer, Combat Specialist, and Hacker/Splicer (the names aren't set in stone). |
KPT_GN_Cosmic | Upon joining, the recruit would have the option to choose which path they'd like. They could complete different "tiers" of the specialty, and eventually learn more complex "skills" (yes, bringing in some D&D here). |
KPT_GN_Cosmic | So |
KPT_GN_Cosmic | Before we move any further, I'd like for all of you to give both Darr and I your input on that matter. |
KPT_GN_Cosmic | So, either send us a PM here, via email, or ComNet message. |
LCP_Shazam | In open here? |
LCP_Shazam | Oh |
| * LCP_Shazam shuts up |
KPT_GN_Cosmic | That's all from me. |
GG_Fury | Thanks Cosmic for the update. Sounds like a good plan. |
GG_Fury | And thanks to all of you for showing up. |
GG_Fury | See you next week. Same time, same place. |
GG_Fury | Have a good week. |
