|HAD|KT|Japheth|	Welcome to another weekly meeting of the Vast Empire.
|HAD|KT|Japheth|	I know some of you aren't used to seeing me here. Try to contain your excitement.
|HAD|KT|Japheth|	We'll start out with the weekly Army report.
|HAD|KT|Japheth|	... and whoever is planning on giving that can start talking :P
KO|HG|CHM|Cosmic	Aye, I have a bit to announce in terms of squad activity for this week.
KO|HG|CHM|Cosmic	I was just looking over the numbers, and Wraith squad has an amazing lead for this week.
KO|HG|CHM|Cosmic	Granted, some of these numbers may not represent squad-as-a-whole participation, the activity from certain members is outstanding.
KO|HG|CHM|Cosmic	These are the numbers for this week's squad-post participation:
KO|HG|CHM|Cosmic	Paladin - 6
KO|HG|CHM|Cosmic	Jester - 7
KO|HG|CHM|Cosmic	Iron Horse - 2
KO|HG|CHM|Cosmic	BlackJack - 6
KO|HG|CHM|Cosmic	Wraith - 18
KO|HG|CHM|Cosmic	And I've just been informed that Raiders has about 14 total posts as well.
KO|HG|CHM|Cosmic	I'm going to hand the report over to Riqimo who has a bit more to announce:
`1LT|ACO|CE|Riqimo	This weekend's Quick Write has gone both well and poorly, depending on how you look at it. It certainly sparked a large activity spike, however, there are some issues that must be addressed unfortunately
`1LT|ACO|CE|Riqimo	If you have an issue with another member, please do not 'spar' in public, I prefer you take it to PM or a private channel. It does not reflect well upon the club for any new people coming onto IRC.
`1LT|ACO|CE|Riqimo	Secondly, yes this is a competition, but is still meant to be fun
`1LT|ACO|CE|Riqimo	Give other people a change to work with you, rather than working against them, I will reward extra points accordingly for teamwork, regardless if they are not in your squad.
`1LT|ACO|CE|Riqimo	Other than that, look for the weekday competitions, which should be up shortly on the army main
`1LT|ACO|CE|Riqimo	That's all from me, thank you for your time
KO|HG|CHM|Cosmic	Thanks, Riq. That concludes the Army report for this week.
|HAD|KT|Japheth|	Ok, I'll go ahead and give a bit on the Navy report.
|HAD|KT|Japheth|	Which will be very brief, because there isn't a lot to report. Activity seems to be in a bit of a slump. However, we've been working to put together a new competition to help generate more, and hopefully that'll be put into motion pretty soon. Its shaping up to involve not only writing but some gaming elements as well (as evidenced by Denethors post requesting to know what sort of games people have).
|HAD|KT|Japheth|	And that's really all we've got from the Navy.
|HAD|KT|Japheth|	If anyone has anything further to add, please PM me now. Otherwise its looking like that's about it for this week.
KO|HG|CHM|Cosmic	I have one thing to announce.
KO|HG|CHM|Cosmic	All promotions/awards will start rolling back in once the Quick Write competition has ended, so be sure to kick it into that last gear for the last stretch.
`1LT|ACO|CE|Riqimo	This includes those from the Platoon Stories
KO|HG|CHM|Cosmic	Also, I must re-state the post-count for Raiders: they had an amazing 21-23 posts. Huge kudos.
KO|HG|CHM|Cosmic	That's all from me.
|HAD|KT|Japheth|	Ok, anyone else?
|HAD|KT|Japheth|	Hearing none. Alright, well that wraps things up for this week. Thanks for attending. We'll be here next week. Same time, same channel.
