GG_Fury | Welcome to another Vast Empire meeting |
GG_Fury | It is the week of VD/SAD so celebrate accordingly |
GG_Fury | This week brings a lot of shuffling to the Stormtrooper Corps. We've got another situation where a squad has a lot of internal squabbles and other squads need the manpower. Therefore, one squad suffers through no real fault of their own to make the rest of the Corps stronger. I apologize for the choice we ended up making and hope you all understand and make the best of it. |
GG_Fury | I understand your concerns and emotions may anger you but please understand this is not a form of punishment. |
GG_Fury | It is one of those impasses that doesn't have an easy solution. |
GG_Fury | I will let newly minted 2LT Riqimo make the announcement. (By the way, you're promoted. Enjoy!) |
`2LT|Riqimo | As Fury as stated on the lack of manpower to support all of our squads, we had to make a difficult decision. |
`2LT|Riqimo | And as thus, today I am announcing that Eclipse Squad is stepping down from service and her members redistributed to other squads where they are needed. |
`2LT|Riqimo | I am proud of what Eclipse has achieved in her little over a year of service, and that only makes the decision harder for me, but at the same time, I realize that I shouldn't hoard all the active members ;) |
`2LT|Riqimo | Alater and Blackout are sent to Wraith |
`2LT|Riqimo | Valmet, Wicket, and Gimp to Paladin |
`2LT|Riqimo | Xenos, Saphira, and Jelly Bean to Iron Horse |
`2LT|Riqimo | As for myself, I am focusing fully on Platoon Commander duties and leaving the Squad Leader position. |
`2LT|Riqimo | That's all from me |
GG_Fury | Thank you. I know that wasn't an easy decision to make, and I hope you all have a good transition to your new squads |
GG_Fury | In other squad news, SSG Aeos wanted me to pass along that LCP Jinx has been requested and approved for the Emperor's Will Second Class for their quick dedication to thier squad |
GG_Fury | Also, Darr-Rann is stepping down from his post as Raiders SL and will be replaced by SFC Sniping 101 who is coming over from the Wraiths. For his long dedication to the Corps, Darr-Rann is promoted to Platoon Sergeant. |
GG_Fury | Also, General Rizzit wanted to pass along the following preliminary results from the HSC. |
GG_Fury | These will be listed by Callsign, Rank promoted to (if applicable) and medal earned (if applicable) |
GG_Fury | Alan RJ - GSG and Emperor's Will Second Class |
GG_Fury | Vince - Emperor's Shield Second Class |
GG_Fury | Ken Alibek - LCP |
GG_Fury | Leon - SSG and Cross of Resolve |
GG_Fury | Orobos - CPL and Cross of Resolve |
GG_Fury | Urakai - SGT and Emperor's Will Second Class |
GG_Fury | Garryl Gates - Emperor's Will First Class |
GG_Fury | I want to thank you all for showing up today. Good luck to all those moving around. Congrats to those who earned awards today. |
GG_Fury | One last thing and this was brought up by Wicket. Apparently, our own General Talon celebrates his 8th anniversary today. Once a trooper, always a trooper I say, so don't forget to buy him a drink later today. |
GG_Fury | Thanks much, and I will turn this over to GM Kadann if he has anything to add. |
GM_Kadann | I do, thanks Fury |
GM_Kadann | Been having a few connection issues for some reason |
GM_Kadann | I've been looking into why the server has been slow lately |
GM_Kadann | Trying a few different things so we'll see if that helps |
GM_Kadann | Just let me know if you notice any slow performances or errors on the server |
GM_Kadann | Let's go ahead and do the Navy report today |
GM_Kadann | Shazam, you have something from the Navy today? |
LCP_Shazam | Indeed, I do |
LCP_Shazam | Indeed I do, sir |
LCP_Shazam | First, I'd like to acknoledge the difficulties of the Army- we certainly know how that is on our end and hope the best for them in the future; we're always around to help out in what ways we can. |
| * GG_Fury nods |
LCP_Shazam | Second: this is quite a showing for a Sunday afternoon- thanks to everyone who decided to show up: I hope we can keep this kind of attendance going. If it does, expect to see more ceremonial affairs, at least in regards to the Naval Academy. |
LCP_Shazam | But for those of you who might have noticed, I've been gone most of this week and that's due mostly to school affairs, but I've left my two XOs in charge. Tomas, first off, has been left in charge of the Naval Academy and Denethor in charge of Phoenix Wing. |
LCP_Shazam | I suppose what I'm trying to say is that I expect, whenver such an occurance comes up, that they be treated with the same level of respect and authority given to me. As it stands, I think we need to work on how effective they are in my stead, just yet, but I intend on improving that through our use of the leave board. |
LCP_Shazam | Also, I'd like to mention that we've got quite a few wiki projects going at the moment and need to make sure that everyone is thanking those folks for thier work. Currently, Ibram is working on the Pilot Skills and Studies, C-3 has a number of projects and Tomas seems to be just about everywhere: they're working hard to help you- remember that. |
LCP_Shazam | On a final note: I will continue to encourage people to step up in thier squadrons. I know we've seen some incredible activity as of late, even from the newest members, but never be to bashful to step up and take charge. Even if it's just helping out one person, encouraging them to post along with you: it makes a world of differance. I thank all members who go out of thier way to help our new and old alike. |
LCP_Shazam | With that, I think I'll turn it over to Commander Darkhawk. |
SW|COM_Darkhawk | Thanks, Shaz. |
SW|COM_Darkhawk | I just wanted to say "great job" to the pilots of Viper Squadron and Nazgul Squadron |
SW|COM_Darkhawk | You guys have really done an awesome job with this story so far |
SW|COM_Darkhawk | And I wanted to give a big thumbs down to some of the members of my task force |
SW|COM_Darkhawk | You know who you are |
SW|COM_Darkhawk | Anyway, let's try to wrap this story up sometime in the next week or so |
SW|COM_Darkhawk | Trevor and I are working on some planning, and I'd like to get Tomas involved as well |
SW|COM_Darkhawk | Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who's been active recently, especially with so many members of the NHC not really being around and active |
SW|COM_Darkhawk | That's all from me - back to you, Kadann/Fury :) |
GM_Kadann | Thanks Darkhawk and Shazam |
GM_Kadann | Fury, you have something else to report? |
GG_Fury | I do. |
GG_Fury | I have a long overdue announcement to make concerning the PA for WildCard. Rogueboy has been serving in this role for awhile and I have not been around to properly announce his new role and congratulate him for taking on the task. |
GG_Fury | So, sorry about the late announcement |
| * GG_Fury salutes |
| * GSG_Rogueboy stands up and salutes |
GSG_Rogueboy | no problem |
| * GSG_Rogueboy does the I got promoted dance but slips down the stairs before he can finish it |
GG_Fury | Classy |
GSG_Rogueboy | ;) |
GG_Fury | Alright, one other thing that has come up. |
GG_Fury | When the Eclipse member realignment was being made, the Dark Dragoons AWOL clearing out had not been completed. You were not being stiffed by this decision, we just didn't put two and two together. |
GG_Fury | Apologies and you'll get the fast track on our plethora of new recruits unless some of the former Eclipse members would care to volunteer. But please check with your new SLs first. |
GG_Fury | Thank you. Have a good week folks. |
LCP_Shazam | Thanks, Fury- had one last comment |
LCP_Shazam | This is actually aimed at the folks working on the VE Today: I know some of you were looking for comissioned work so I went on ahead and posted some. |
LCP_Shazam | Just thought I'd direct some folks there in the event they hadn't noticed- I'll try and keep 'em coming. If other people have work they'd like to commission: go for it :) |
LCP_Shazam | That's all I've got for today. |
LCP_Shazam | Thanks, Fury. |
GG_Fury | Thanks |
GG_Fury | One more last thing from me |
GG_Fury | In Paladin squad, GSG Luckystar is now the full-time SL and she has appointed GSG Wicket to be her ASL. Congrats to you both. |
GG_Fury | Kadann? All your's. |
GM_Kadann | Thanks Fury |
GM_Kadann | Thanks all for today then |
GM_Kadann | *Thats |
GM_Kadann | Thanks to all who came today |
GM_Kadann | Looks like a nice show |
GM_Kadann | Dismissed |
