Dagger Exonar

I have a picture of Kanaki in an oven from 2005 back when he was a luskwood.

It's called a BELT for a reason.

Hint: The heavy belt IS the belt. It's also the abs. This is exactly what I'm referring to when I say people mix and match pieces and nobody wears the heavy set correctly.

Don't donate to me, I recommend someone much higher in rank (Preferably Aryte himself) collect the money and find someone to build simple sculpties to add on or even replace certain parts of our current uniform (Until we fully re-do the uniforms and armor, as it is a long term goal.) Also, this is not a 'Do as I say not as I do' kind of post, I fully intend to donate to the cause as well as suggest it, even if I do not get to use it due to rank I feel our appearance should match our reputation for professionalism. Our weapons and gadgets (Jetpack, anyone?) are becoming lower ARC as well as more efficiently scripted over time, why not our armor?

Anyone else interested in pooling L$ together to get someone to do some good sculpty stuff for the Ordo? Cuffs and collars for the Class A's perhaps? Boots, gloves, official(!!!) shoulder items? Besides, I'd love to see an official ordo version of the fairlight gloves everybody is running around with these days. I think one of the main reasons the Ordo suffers from so little drama is because some of us spend the majority of our idle time on duty modding our armor (Something not many other militaries get to enjoy) Because of this, there's not really many people who have 'from the box' versions of the Medium and Heavy armor (To date, the only person I've ever seen wear the Heavy Armor correctly was Iven, Most, if not all, combine heavy and medium armor pieces to actually look somewhat decent) Another issue that springs to mind is the rather awkward issue of getting armor modifications approved. There should be one central authority to go to instead of one officer to OK it and another officer to say What the hell is that (Without naming names, I know of one officer who will OK almost anything and another that will say any sort of prim moving on the armor is compromising the structure of the armor, I don't think this is really an acceptable way of doing things and once you get to know people you can easily play the system to your advantage.) I would assume Kitsy and Aryte are the only two people who can give definite Yes or No approval to mods, but is there anyway we can get a lictor or someone who's not extremely busy/important to be incharge of modifications and keep records (via notecards, example being '1/19/09 Approved the use of a trench coat ontop of heavy armor for milites XXXX. This would be posted on the curia forum or perhaps a public forum so people can see what is approved and what isn't and have a general go-to for modifications or add-ons without either 'just doing it' and not seeking an officer's approval, or going to one officer to OK it so another officer can deny it. Or vice-versa.) of what has been approved and what hasn't? If possible, I'd also like more on this topic to be covered in Schola as in who to talk to and what is or isn't acceptable. This is a good time to bring these sort of issues up, as we're entering a phase of the community that's marked by a lack of combat and unity. (With the collapse of the AN as a superpower and our only real targets being minorities from other countries, most armies enter a 'Six months of peace, internal drama / old vets leaving / fast promotions for the new guys phase) I'd really like to see more uniformity in the ranks and more pride in our armor, our units (Squads, cohorts, etc) and in the Ordo as a whole to prevent any sort of splintering. Well, that, and I think we're the only army without sculpty armor (I was told the AN was switching to sculpty stuff soon, this depresses me) and the fact that not many people can wear our armor 'as is' due to the neckpiece being... difficult (6 pathcut prims instead of one sculpty makes for difficult resizing and placement.) Perhaps now would be a good time to invest more time and effort into something the entire community can use.

Sekonda Huet for stepping up to the plate and doing an amazing job with Armatura. I was very impressed.

Damn.

But spy checking in the past has done us so much good... Cleanse it with fire and all that... Anyway heart Euro.

Intus what have you done...
