`2LT_Rogueboy | Welcome to another Vast Empire meeting |
`2LT_Rogueboy | I will be your host for the army aspect of this meeting |
`2LT_Rogueboy | I have quite a few bones to throw today so please be patient :p |
`2LT_Rogueboy | but before I do those, I would like to give an update on what exactly I've been working on |
`2LT_Rogueboy | as some/most of you know I have been working on updating/redoing the specialties |
`2LT_Rogueboy | the work has been really slow going and I must admit I took quite some time off from doing them, I started going full tilt again on monday and am working on brainstorming each individual spec before finalizing on them and to start work on putting aspects of them on the wiki |
`2LT_Rogueboy | this is going to be a lengthy process so there is no reason why you should wait for me to finish these specs before continuing on yours |
`2LT_Rogueboy | now back to those bones that I promised I will be throwing |
`2LT_Rogueboy | Will Private Second Class Atoll come one down! |
| * PSC_Atoll|PRSP_Noose steps forward |
`2LT_Rogueboy | From this day forward you will be promoted to Private First Class Atoll |
| * `2LT_Rogueboy pins a shiny rank badge onto Atoll |
`2LT_Rogueboy | congratulations |

`2LT_Rogueboy | Next will Private First Class Drexhel step forward! |
| * PFC_Drexhel steps forward |
`2LT_Rogueboy | From this day forward you are promoted to the rank of Lance Corporal, wear it loud and wear it proud |
| * `2LT_Rogueboy gives Drexhel two free drink coupons as well |
PFC_Drexhel | Thank you sir |
| * PFC_Drexhel salutes |

`2LT_Rogueboy | so give those fellows a pat on the back, and buy them a drink since I get to keep their coupons, who wants to split a hovercab home? :p |
`2LT_Rogueboy | There is a medal that I would like to give to two members |
`2LT_Rogueboy | the Cross of Resolve [CoR] is given to members that show conduct befitting an officer in the day to day struggles |
`2LT_Rogueboy | as well as those willing to help the Vast Empire in any way they can |
`2LT_Rogueboy | the two members in question are; Senior Sergeant Luckystar, and Sergeant Abalar |
`2LT_Rogueboy | so give them a congratulations |
`2LT_Rogueboy | Allow me to make an amendment |
`2LT_Rogueboy | Sergeant Major Luckystar* |
`2LT_Rogueboy | that will be all for the army aspect of the meeting, I am now passing the floor to Willtconq for the Navy meeting |
`1LT_Willtconq | Thank you Lieutenant |
`1LT_Willtconq | A good week overall for the Navy. |
`1LT_Willtconq | First of all, I'd like to welcome Roth back to active duty. He was even so kind as to attend the meeting today. |
`1LT_Willtconq | The joint squadron training mission between Tuk'ata and Rhegent's Reign is finally underway. |
`1LT_Willtconq | aye |
`1LT_Willtconq | A good number of our pilots have already gotten to work on their respective sections of the story. |
`1LT_Willtconq | oops |
`1LT_Willtconq | I hope there will be many posts to come in the coming weeks. Good job people. |
`1LT_Willtconq | on the Admin side of things, unfortunately, Shaz has been away this week, so any further adjustments has been postponed until next week. Though you guys don't know who you are, sorry. |
`1LT_Willtconq | On a brighter note though, Art, our recently returned and newly promoted Admiral, has been quite busy this week. |
`1LT_Willtconq | He's been putting in a lot of work toward the VEN Intelligence Division. |
`1LT_Willtconq | I'm sure we can expect a lot more from him in the near future as well. |
`1LT_Willtconq | Now, Senior Crewman DeepSix, please step forward. |
| * SCRW_DeepSix steps forward |
`1LT_Willtconq | For your exceptional writing contribution to the Navy as a whole since graduation from the Academy, I hereby award you the Merit Cross 2nd Class. |
`1LT_Willtconq | Congratulations |
| * SCRW_DeepSix thanks and salutes |
| * `1LT_Willtconq salutes |
`1LT_Willtconq | you may be seated |
`1LT_Willtconq | And that will be all from the Navy this week |
| * SCRW_DeepSix returns to his seat whilst patting his new medal |
`1LT_Willtconq | Now, I believe the Pirate King Snipes has a message for you all |
PRTKNG_Sniping101 | I have a few, actually. |
PRTKNG_Sniping101 | Thank you all for showing up, I've got news, awards and promotions for this meeting; so there's a little something for everyone. |
PRTKNG_Sniping101 | I think I shall start with Promotions, I have two major promotions. Since only one of the members are here I'd like to Ask Privateer Ron to step forward. |
| * PVR_FSG_Ron steps forward |
PRTKNG_Sniping101 | Ron, your activity slipped once or twice during this last campaign, however you kept coming back and contributing quality works to Osk; most notably the Osker's Skull and some of your behind the scenes work. |
PRTKNG_Sniping101 | For this it is my great pleasure to promote you to Pirate Captain and grant you command of your own vessel and own crew. |
| * PRTKNG_Sniping101 takes an enormous hat and places it on Rons head. |
PRTKNG_Sniping101 | What have ye to say for yeself? |
| * PVR_FSG_Ron grabs his hat, flourishes and bows, "Thank ye, Cap'n!" |
PRTKNG_Sniping101 | It's a pleasure. |
PRTKNG_Sniping101 | Now next on the list of promotions is the Pirate Overseer Kami, who unfortuneately can't make it due to living in the future. |
PRTKNG_Sniping101 | As Oskers know Kami has been my right hand for awhile now and has worked tirelessly on The Osk Company, I have moved much of the responsibilites of running it over to her as she shall be caretaking this mad little group until my return. |
PRTKNG_Sniping101 | In light of her outstanding activity and her newfound responsibilities I am giving her a double promotion to Pirate Lord, aswell as the honorary title of High Lady of The Osk Company. |
PRTKNG_Sniping101 | We'll have to mail her a circlet or something Lordly since she isn't here to get it. |
PRTKNG_Sniping101 | In addition to that Pirate Captain Tanus Solvana is awarded the honorary of Pirate Baron, Pirate Captain Jegora Fal is also awarded the Honorary of Pirate Baron for his tireless work and enthusiam he's shown recently. |
PRTKNG_Sniping101 | I had intended to hand out the awards today, but it seems that must wait until I post notes on the new and shiney Osk forums. |
PRTKNG_Sniping101 | So, since that order of business is completed I'll move on to news. |
PRTKNG_Sniping101 | Just to reitterate something, I should be gone next week; may or may not be able to be active while I'm deployed, depends on where I go; so Kami is going to be running things for me with the help of the Captains. I expect to see great things come from this and have already had a sneak peak at the next story which I must say will make a great followup to the recently completed Abraxas arc. |
PRTKNG_Sniping101 | Osk does have it's own forum, now. I encourage even non-members of Osk to check it out and see what we're all about. |
PRTKNG_Sniping101 | Speaking of which, to clarify some recruiting questions: It is never too late to join, currently it just requires posting on two topics, the Prospectives story thread and the Welcome to The Osk Company thread. |
PRTKNG_Sniping101 | I am starting to drone on a little now; so I'll just say this, keep an eye on the forum, new things happening soon. |
PRTKNG_Sniping101 | Thank you VE, that is all for now. |
