As of 12JULY09, the Urramaich Union is dead. Vanguard has absorbed all of their members. So much for that great break-away and fresh, innovative approach to the community. :| I called it.
What are the words that describes this best... "I told you so" "Saw That coming" "Surprised they even lasted that long" "Wonder how long till they throw a hissy fit and rage quit VG"
As I PM'd to Xang: For his duties and service, Lestat and I have agreed Xang be anointed as a permanent Ordo officer, regardless of time or retirement. He is a legacy and a foundation of what the Ordo is today.
The new reputation system is pretty cool. If someone makes a good and useful post, you can show your support to their efforts and bump them up a reputation point. It really adds up over time if everyone participates. If someone makes a not so helpful post, or flames, spams, or degrades, you can down their reputation! I drew a vector directional field to help visualize the experience.
In March, Aryte introduced the handbook exams, to test and reassure your knowledge of the handbook in order to be eligible for a promotion. I stumbled upon mine while reading my messages, and the exam (Form A.II), being so old I was wondering if its ever been updated since then, or if its just out the window entirely. Just wondering and it might clear up some "y no promotz" for some people, if its still in act. And if it is, could it be found and pinned? <3
I hold a little bit of pity for them.. Good god I burst out laughing just typing that, my sarcasm meter broke.. Heres some more phrases to explain it, since vanguard is almost the lowest you can go: "Serves them right." "Karma." "POW right in da kissa" >:D
