GG_Fury	Welcome to another Vast Empire meeting.
GG_Fury	This week, we advise you to boil your water as Rebellion saboteurs have been seen near the water plant.
GG_Fury	Also, stay away from the veal. They haven't done anything to it, it just tastes awful this season.
GG_Fury	For the army, not a whole lot to report. I *have* reports, it is just that not a lot appears to be going on according to the contents of same.
GG_Fury	Though thanks for the updates folks. I like to get them despite the levels of activity.
GG_Fury	I reiterate that if anyone would like a story concept, please let me know.
GG_Fury	I am on the road in RL again this week so won't be checking my email that often.
GG_Fury	That said, I hope to have some free time to work on store items and a project I've mentioned before which we'd like to roll out to you in coming months.
GG_Fury	So let me know anything you might want via my vastempire.com account tonight or i'll likely not be getting to it until i get back later in the week.
GG_Fury	What else? Oh, you may have noticed the VESA stock at Imperitrade. It isn't doing a whole lot of sales as folks are sitting on those stocks, but keep checking.
GG_Fury	Also, the IC25 stock now exists, based on the top 25 items at Imperial Center.
GG_Fury	Buy some stock, then get a grip of urinal cakes and see if it moves up.
GG_Fury	You'll enjoy the experiment and everyone will enjoy the increased assets.
GG_Fury	Alright, let me turn this over to Riel for any Navy news going on.
RAD|FSM|Riel_Fury	Thanks Grandpa
RAD|FSM|Riel_Fury	I'm pleased to say that activity has increased a significant amount in the past week, despite a good number of people being on leave. Let's keep that activity rising and post on your squadron stories and get those wrapped up.
RAD|FSM|Riel_Fury	We're getting a lot of new members, and I'm happy to say a lot of you are jumping right in there and being active participants in your squadrons. Keep up the good work and you'll go far.
RAD|FSM|Riel_Fury	I named arturus my adjutant, so if I'm not around and you need something, feel free to bug him
RAD|FSM|Riel_Fury	I don't have any awards, medals, promos, or anything like that to announce this week, so those of you hoping to move up the ladder will have to wait a little while longer
RAD|FSM|Riel_Fury	We're at a turning point in the Navy's history, and I'd like to see us continue on the course we're on and show those ground pounders what's what
RAD|FSM|Riel_Fury	That's it for me
RAD|FSM|Riel_Fury	the floor is yours, grandpa
GG_Fury	Alright, moving on....
GG_Fury	We *do* have a lot of new recruits as of late, and so let's all do a good job of welcoming them in and seeing what we can do to help them acclimate to how we operate.
GG_Fury	Apparently, we've received feedback that there are things we can do better and we've been discussing those over drinks in the O Club, but if you current members have anything to add, please do so.
GG_Fury	For the army, just revive any of the dormant threads Cos, Rizzit, or myself have out there.
GG_Fury	For the Navy, Skype Riel at about 4am. He should be getting back from the strip joint at about that time.
GG_Fury	Alright, unless there is anything else this week, I let you get back to watching fantasy football scores and/or tweaking the wiki, posting, or playing a game or two.
GG_Fury	I've got the new Death Star book to read followed by some Team Fortress 2. If anyone has interest in the latter being a supported game, just let us know.
GG_Fury	No PMs. Guess you're all free to go. Have a good week.
