  1. LOL Desereck. And yeah, trying to beat Aryte in post count without breaking rules is like dividing by zero, like licking your elbow, or rhyming with the word orange. It just doesn't work.
  2. Is it possible to get a complete list of all the Ordo personnel that attended?
  3. Imperator's Address - Jul 7 2009; post-vacation. [18:01] Aryte Vesperia: Let's get started. [18:01] Aryte Vesperia: This will be fairly brief. [18:01] Aryte Vesperia: Essentially, just a mini-weekly meeting, since we missed last week's. [18:02] Aryte Vesperia: I would like to take the time to recap events, congratulate some folks, and address recent events. [18:02] Aryte Vesperia: After which, I'll resume doing battle with notecard hell. [18:03] Aryte Vesperia: To begin, I would like to thank everyone for allowing me to have a fantastic vacation. I thoroughly enjoyed myself, thanks to the individuals who remained behind and held down the fortress. I have nothing but admiration for the efforts of all of you. [18:03] Aryte Vesperia: Sosarin Demar, beyond all else, your command and control over the group in my absence was exemplary. [18:04] Aryte Vesperia: You have infused a faith in me beyond my expectations. [18:05] Aryte Vesperia: During my absence, Titan was attacked over twenty times, by various levels of sophistication, at various times. The assaults ranged from outright griefing, to large scale raids by talented foes. [18:06] Aryte Vesperia: All incidents were dealt with in a timely manner and properly recorded for my review. [18:07] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you all, very much, for being steadfast. [18:08] Aryte Vesperia: I will be working on promotion and merit arragements for the proper meeting this Saturday, in order to recognize those of you responsible for the excellent standard. I would encourage anyone who was present to provide some help in the way of recommendations. [18:09] Aryte Vesperia: At this time, I would also like to recognize all of the volunteers who have stepped up to provide Schola and Armatura a continued presence. Without you, we'd degress back into the stone age pretty quick. Keep up the good work there. [18:09] Aryte Vesperia: I have a couple major events to announce-- bad and good news, really. [18:10] Aryte Vesperia: Foremost, the Iron Symphony's charter is being reinforced to explain the identity and original intent of the IS: we are not a military alliance, but a system of thought. [18:10] Aryte Vesperia: As such, all IS groups are not required to maintain an alliance-- they never were. To exercise this, the MC and the Ordo will be going to war in the coming days. [18:11] Aryte Vesperia: This is likely no surprise for many of you, as relations with the MC have been dire. [18:11] Aryte Vesperia: The Merczateers and the Ordo have affirmed, beyond the Symphony, the strength of our allegiance to one another. In addition, the prospects are high that the Alliance Navy will be joining the IS envelope. [18:12] Aryte Vesperia: Earlier today, Jason Backer assumed command of the Alliance. He was formerly an AN admiral, prior to joining the Ordo. With my blessing and with full knowledge of his intent to provide an opportunity for the Ordo and AN to prosper together, I've bitten the bullet and married off one of my favorite British people back to his group of origin. Haha. [18:14] Aryte Vesperia: As mentioned in the post I made: Although I must say it is with great regret that I see him leave, I am thrilled and infused with a sense of relief to see the AN now under his watch. Jason is one of the finest, most diligent individuals I have ever met. Beyond that, he has presented a sense of loyalty and honor to the Ordo Imperialis, without pause. It is now a new era, one that has erased years of history and a tendency for xenophobia between the AN and Ordo. [18:15] Aryte Vesperia: The Ordo will be providing military, intelligence, and if necessary, developmental support to the Alliance. [18:15] Aryte Vesperia: It is our hope to ensure their success, in the face of bold threats from groups like Vanguard. [18:16] Aryte Vesperia: Earlier today, Vanguard leader Christoph made the bold claim to the AN "we should ally, so I don't have to send 80 people to your sim all day to destroy you." [18:16] Aryte Vesperia: I have to commend him for his . . uh, clever diplomacy. [18:17] Aryte Vesperia: Yesterday, Takkun Gray, Merczateers . . went rogue and returned the Merczateers regions. [18:18] Aryte Vesperia: He promptly joined Vanguard and has pledged to do anything he can to destroy the Merczateers. If you've forgotten: Takkun's been making that claim to the Ordo for over a year now. [18:18] Aryte Vesperia: We can thank Takkun for sealing Vanguard's death. [18:18] Aryte Vesperia: Sparta and 2142 reportedly have blacklisted and banned Vanguard. [18:18] Aryte Vesperia: CS has approached and requested negotations. [18:18] Aryte Vesperia: AN has already given VG the "fuck you." [18:18] Aryte Vesperia: Merczateers, MC, and Ordo concur. [18:19] Aryte Vesperia: VG just sealed itself into a corner. [18:19] Aryte Vesperia: In the most peculiar of ways, VG has served as the catalyst that has launched the very idea of what the IS has tried so hard to be. [18:20] Aryte Vesperia: Through their flagrant disrespect, and obvious disregard for reality . . . they’ve propagated the success of the IS ideal. A more closed circuit, controlled, respectful combat routine. [18:21] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you Christoph-- who, by the way, told a member of the Ordo that "VG attacked Ordo and took over the sim since all the Ordo were at AC." [18:21] Aryte Vesperia: I guess he didn't know we can check Mercury to see when VG was here. :| [18:22] Aryte Vesperia: It's with a certain, almost cynical glee that I am able to high five Christoph and say "thank you for proving to the community what none of us want to be." [18:23] Aryte Vesperia: Now that the majority of the Ordo has returned, and I am refreshed after a week of running around complaing how tired I am, I intend to launch full out into the projects I've promised. Curia, Frumentarii, Guard are first up for revision. Prior to which, we will finalize the unlocks (or beat Inoue with a stick). [18:24] Aryte Vesperia: I will stress accountability, not only to myself, but to all command staff. [18:25] Aryte Vesperia: It is now our time to ensure the success of the Ordo, and provide for the future of the IS and the community. If it is necessary, command positions will be shuffled. [18:25] Aryte Vesperia: The first formal, weekly IS meeting is scheduled for this Sunday at 3:00. I look forward to reporting to you all our discussion and the findings of the gathering. [18:26] Aryte Vesperia: I don't look forward to somehow having a billion meetings in the same day, but that's ok. [18:26] Aryte Vesperia: We are at 249 members. We have ten new applications on file, most of which seem to have high prospects for acceptance. [18:26] Aryte Vesperia: Over twenty cadets. [18:27] Aryte Vesperia: If we're not at 250 by the end of the week, I am going to strangle Anlysia. [18:27] Aryte Vesperia: (That's what she gets for snide comments on Ventrilo.) [18:27] Anlysia Gregoire: \o/ [18:28] Kytec Switchblade: I'll do it for you. Would be my pleasure. [18:28] Jayce Iredell: (Gives us a reason to try and prevent our member count from hitting 250) [18:28] Aryte Vesperia: Shh. [18:28] Aryte Vesperia: Set-backs are really unavoidable. I know that bumps will continue to show up on our path. [18:29] Aryte Vesperia: I know that many of our goals, pledged or otherwise, may take a lot longer than intended to reach. If ever, really. [18:30] Aryte Vesperia: But beyond that, the presence of hope, faith, and intent to provide are greater than any single feat. We cannot afford to lose our hope, nor our faith. As a group, we will succeed. Even if that means we do so alone. But I don't think that'll be the case. The list of people on "our side" of the fence is suddenly growing a lot larger. [18:31] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you for coming. There will be a combat raid organized within the next hour. Aside from that, please check the weekly roster. Do note the "huge fucking battle planned for Saturday" comment. [18:32] Aryte Vesperia: Ah-- to add, I will be rectifying the issue of officers being gunshy at leading raids without my presence. I plan on taking any interested field officer out, and provide them with practice. [18:33] Aryte Vesperia: Any quick questions? [18:33] Aryte Vesperia: You are dismissed. Dascede has volunteered to handle the log. Thank you. [18:33] Aryte Vesperia clasps his fist to his chest, presenting a salute.
  4. Dammit Garion, why did you post the answers only? Now I have to scroll up and down through the long list to see the answer compared to the question. :C
  5. I lol'd at Aryte's comment. But that reminds me. Please tell me.. did you guys salute each other? O:
  6. Can't imagine the effort it would take to tailor armor like that... or our dress uniform. But I'd be amazed if someone did it.
  7. The only people I recognize are Aryte... Sera... Lestat and Zrazor.. with the exception of those that are labeled. You guys should tell us where you are if you're in the row pictures. D:
  8. Everyone spam Aryte's profile with reputation +'s!
  9. [18:00] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you all for joining me this evening. This should be fairly brief and painless. [18:00] Aryte Vesperia: Those of you in the back can hear me, yes? [18:00] Aryte Vesperia: Kuriaface? [18:00] Jester Spearmann: aye [18:00] Aryte Vesperia: Awesome. [18:00] Dragon Massiel: yes I mean no [18:00] Aryte Vesperia: The reason I have called you all here is to take the opportunity to touch upon the recent events regarding the EU, along with make some comments on my vacation. [18:01] Aryte Vesperia: First off, it is with regret that I am forced to announce that our allies in the Echelon Union have formally crumbled. Roo Tenk, EU Archlord, closed the doors earlier this morning, following an insurrection orchestrated by his officer staff. [18:01] Aryte Vesperia: The break-away cadre formed the ‘Tetra Combine’ and has slated an anti-IS stance, with some alignment toward Chaos Decterum. [18:02] Aryte Vesperia: The unrest with EU occurred on account of two major reasons: foremost, the belief that the IS was oppressing their ‘traditions,’ and secondly, the belief that Roo Tenk no longer provided active leadership. [18:02] Snowean Avro: whoever has the radio type /4radio i believv eor remove it [18:02] Aryte Vesperia: Those involved in the coup claimed Roo no longer represented them. In all of their resignation letters, comments were made in regards to the Iron Symphony being “oppressive.” [18:02] Dascede Aluveaux: It's /4 vol [18:02] Aryte Vesperia: Quiet please. [18:03] Aryte Vesperia: EU fell, not because of the actions of outsiders, but by the lack of faith of those within. [18:03] Aryte Vesperia: Rather than stay the course, affirm their leadership, and honor their pact . . . they usurped command and welcomed Chaos into the sim, until Roo logged on and was forced to reset the region to get them to leave. [18:03] Aryte Vesperia: This is not only a tragedy for EU as our allies, but for the Symphony. We have lost a friend, and replaced it with a foe. [18:04] Aryte Vesperia: Chaos triumphs this as a “victory,” coining it as “Operation Echelon Heresy.” In reality, Chaos played a minor, if not entirely insignificant role. Their only participation was managing to sit in the sim and litter it with /4/chan photos. [18:05] Aryte Vesperia: Within the Symphony, remain three organizations. The Collective, the Ordo, and the Merczateers. [18:05] Aryte Vesperia: Our relationship with the Collective is dire, if not entirely eroded. The Collective has accused us without evidence, claiming we’ve “spied” upon them. [18:05] Aryte Vesperia: Raideur Ng, their leader, expressed that there is an “uncorrectable” disliking for the Ordo among the MC. [18:06] Aryte Vesperia: Over the course of a several hour meeting last night, Lurdan Huszar of the Merczateers and I listened to Raideur’s argument. We dissected it and pulled it apart. The claims of Ordo “spying” were preposterous. [18:06] Aryte Vesperia: They considered the fact Aelus Janus messaged an MC Officer and asked questions—questions in concern of MC’s security—as spying. An over Ordo officer. In full tag and uniform. Speaking in formal terms. Spying. [18:07] Aryte Vesperia: I proposed “then Raideur, what is the difference in you sending MC Officers here the last two weeks to ask questions?” He replied "there isn't one." [18:07] Aryte Vesperia: His second argument was “Ordo conduct.” Lurdan asked “what complaints do you have?” He provided a log of a new Ordo E-1 who called the MC “IS rejects.” [18:08] Aryte Vesperia: I asked, “did you report this to me?” Raideur said no. I assured him that it’d be dealt with and then asked “So what did you do about the MC Officer who lambasted the Ordo as a ‘gay yiffy club’ during an MC command meeting?” [18:08] Aryte Vesperia: He didn’t answer. He then proposed “well, Ordo keep coming to our sim using gear we don’t allow.” I asked. “Did you report it?” He replied. “No.” So I asked. “How is this different from MC visiting Titan, dancing in our spawn, heckling our defenders with signs as they fight off CS?” He replied. “It isn’t.” [18:09] Xayvien Rau: r [18:09] Aryte Vesperia: So he promptly informed us, “I’m not pushing for this, my men are.” [18:09] Aryte Vesperia: Lurdan and I spoke in private after. We affirmed the necessity up holding the ideals of the IS. Greater than that, we affirmed the alliance between the Merczateers and the Ordo. [18:10] Aryte Vesperia: It is my prediction we may see an era not unlike many summers ago—the Merczateers and the Ordo shoulder and shoulder, tackling the grid together. I say: glory to our brothers in the Merczateers, then. We welcome this day. [18:11] Aryte Vesperia: As I prepare to embark upon my vacation, I lament the destruction brought upon the EU, and I regret the disdain established by the MC. But I take heart in what remains and what’s yet to come. I take heart in the greatness of the group here, my Ordo. My beloved Ordo. [18:11] Aryte Vesperia: When I look at the situation that destroyed EU, I am unable to relate. I sympathize, and I understand. But I am truly unable to relate. [18:12] Aryte Vesperia: In my time here—right now, at this moment, I look to the crowd before me and see nothing but brotherhood and sincere affection for those I work with. [18:12] Aryte Vesperia: It is cheesy. Really cheesy, but it is without a doubt that I am able to say there isn’t a person here that I don’t truly have an affection for. You enrich my time here. You’re the reason I bother logging on. [18:12] Aryte Vesperia: Yes, even Faril. [18:13] Aryte Vesperia: I know there are days where I am cold and aloof. I know that some of you doubt my sincerity and sometimes feel that I disregard your IMS, or don’t pay attention. For that, I apologize for. [18:13] Aryte Vesperia: My coldness is not direct or intended. It is simply on account of being busy. My respect and affection for you all is paramount. If I had the time to hold 250 conversations at the same time, I’d do it gladly. I affirm, you are all always in my mind and in my heart. I do everything I do, not for myself, but for you. [18:14] Aryte Vesperia: I leave tomorrow for a few days, not only as your commander, but as your friend, your family, and your comrade. I know that I leave this group in the hands of the finest people this grid has to offer, and, beyond that, people I value and trust like no other. [18:14] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you, for everything. Have a fantastic evening and a great week. A schedule will be posted by midnight, detailing plans for the group. Remember, Sosarin is in command in my absence. In addition, I’ll be in touch. Be good and have a wonderful week. I'll be loitering this evening as I pack. Feel free to bug me. [18:15] Aryte Vesperia: Dismissed. [18:15] Aryte Vesperia clasps his fist to his chest, presenting a salute.
  10. Grats on Vice Commandant. Now you get to manage the education system. Dun dun dun... like someone said, goodbye to your freedom. XP Maybe not. Iunno. But well wishes to you as you take up the spot.
  11. ~ORDO IMPERIALIS~ OFFICIAL DOCUMENT <=====================Extend to this length=========================> <===========================================================> **********Meeting Report********** NAME/RANK/DIVISION: Dascede Aluveaux / Triplicarius / Terra Antesignani ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DATE: 27 JUN 09 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUBJECT: General topics. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUMMARY: Ordo gathered and discussed. ============================================================ CHAT LOG: Meeting Opener [18:00] Aryte Vesperia: Let's get started. [18:00] Desereck Creeggan: assumption song is amazing [18:00] Aryte Vesperia: As per the norm, I do request you all hold your comments and so forth until I provide the opportunity. [18:00] Desereck Creeggan: Oh, sorry. [18:01] Aryte Vesperia: Speaking out of turn will make everyone sit here a lot longer. [18:02] Aryte Vesperia: To begin, weekly report from me. Imperator's Report [18:02] Aryte Vesperia: Currently sitting at 249 members. All accounted for. No resignations last week. [18:02] Aryte Vesperia: 7 applications, 3 accepted, 4 denied. 4 additional added today. [18:02] Aryte Vesperia: 22 defensive manuevers last week. [18:02] Aryte Vesperia: 9 offensive manuevers -- 2 more than last evening! [18:02] Aryte Vesperia: Last week, rather. [18:03] Aryte Vesperia: Diplomacy and the likes has been solid. No real pressing matters to note, aside from Sparta. [18:04] Aryte Vesperia: Second Chance, the Spartan region, is kaput. Assumption is LL caught up with Bruno Ziskey's claiming "charity" discount on the region, realizing he was full of it. But that is based on circumstance, and not yet confirmed. Regardless, Sparta essentially camps out at Thorium now. [18:04] Aryte Vesperia: AISC activity (anti-IS Coalition) has been relatively high. Several engagements this week were against them, including a joint-task deployment of Merczateers and Ordo on their headquarters in Mountain. [18:05] Aryte Vesperia: Combat there proved fruitful, as we essentially blew everything up and ran around setting up sandwich shops with the Mercz. [18:06] Aryte Vesperia: All in all, it was an incredibly good week for Ordo in the way of foreign deployments. Very good work. [18:07] Aryte Vesperia: Let's move on to unit reports. Divisional Reports [18:07] Zerowinged Vasiliev raises his paw. [18:08] Aryte Vesperia: Zerowinged, for Terra. Terra [18:09] Zerowinged Vasiliev: One major thing to point out with Terra this week. Xang Xiao has announced that he is stepping down from the position of Legates of Terra due to a increased need for his service in Korea. In turn Lestat Umarov has been elevated to take his position as Legates. For more information please read the "[Ordo] Promotion Ceremony/Meeting" in the forums in "Reports; Meeting" subforum. Now, with that said, unit reports. [18:09] Zerowinged Vasiliev: From Keller for Invictus: "Invictus has continued picking up the pace. Brief, spontaneous training sessions have been held in Tsume's new killhouse, along with a more elaborate exercise to be held Friday evening. The Spectre SMG is nearly complete and should be handed out in the next couple of days (Tsume did an -awesome- job with it)." [18:09] Zerowinged Vasiliev: From Gulliver for Antesignani: "One exceedingly successful raid on TCG, 6.20.09. Tsume built a training facility with the idea that bullets shouldn't ghost through prims. One training session held as of early Thursday morning. Trevor, Melna, and Vas were named as trainers and given authority to schedule and hold impromptu sessions. So far only Melna's gotten that going. Our builder broke ground on our LMG and we're happy about that." [18:10] Zerowinged Vasiliev: From Xayvien for Fulminata: "Fulminata this week concluded our collection of getting a total of ten members. We welcome to our ranks a veteran of Second Life combat who has a proud history of work, Faril Iredell. We also have the dedicated Ordo Imperialis member under the name of Kazuhiro Schnyder, who I welcome to our squad with open arms. As such we have started working towards other goals within the group." [18:10] Faril Iredell: :D [18:10] Zerowinged Vasiliev: And from myself for the Auditor Staff: "We had a meeting earlier this week which ironed what exactaly the roles in the staff will entail and the duties for such roles. A completed version of the handbook describing what was discussed, will be issued as soon as it is finished." [18:11] Zerowinged Vasiliev: I am Triplicarius Vasiliev and this concludes this weeks report for Terra. [18:11] Aryte Vesperia puts a check next to Faril for "OUT OF TURN." [18:11] Faril kisses Dominic's nose. [18:11] Faril kisses Dominic's nose. [18:11] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you Zer-- [18:11] Aryte Vesperia adds two. [18:11] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you Zerowinged. [18:11] Dominic Zapotocky: I will stab you, Faril. [18:11] Aryte Vesperia: Astra? Astra [18:11] Sosarin Demar raises his hand for Astra. [18:11] Aryte Vesperia: Sosarin. [18:11] Sosarin Demar: Astra combat participation has been good on the defensive and offensive fronts. We had a mixed-team dogfighting event with Alliance Navy and it went extremely well. Their air division has a new second in command who is quite personable. I bet we'll have more activities with them in the near future. [18:11] Sosarin Demar: The Apostles, our instructor staff, recruited additional personnel. It has been a turtle-paced process, but we endeavor to have instructors of quality in a group with a limited number of necessary staff. Since we pushed on bolstering the staff about a month ago, we've added about four fighter aircraft instructors and incorporated the present bomber instructors. I thank all who've been patient on the candidacy list. [18:12] Sosarin Demar: Fighter aircraft training proceeds at a normal pace. Special thanks to Heather and Cyric for their help this week on that. Diplomacy with other military air divisions continues. Astra needs to appoint some new flight leads, continue training, and push more on diplomacy for the up and coming week. That concludes this week's report for Astra. [18:13] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you, Sosarin. [18:13] Aryte Vesperia: Do any other units wish to report? [18:13] Kraa String raises a hand [18:14] Aryte Vesperia: Kraa, for Tactica? Tactica [18:14] Kraa String: Tactica is working hard on pushing out plans for the upcoming summer operation. This should be complete for a week after AC is over. We just need to get a few dates from yourself Aryte and work out some numbers. [18:15] Aryte Vesperia: That would be perfect. We can start immediately after returning. I look forward to hearing your brief and take on the plans. [18:15] Gulliver Carpool raises his hand. [18:16] Aryte Vesperia: Gulliver. [18:17] Gulliver Carpool: I'm sure some of us who aren't going to be going to the furry party are wondering: How much Ordo planning will go on there, and will us homebodies/humans have a say on things through regular means, e.g., forum, inworld meetings, etc? [18:17] Aryte Vesperia: The keynote discussion is all about that. [18:17] Aryte Vesperia: This is unit reports. [18:17] Aryte Vesperia: You're slightly ahead. [18:18] Aryte Vesperia: Do any other units wish to report? [18:18] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you. Old Business [18:18] Aryte Vesperia: On to old business then. Any topics to bring up this evening? [18:18] Intus Infinity raises hand. [18:18] DamionStJames Webb raises hand [18:18] Aryte Vesperia: Intus. [18:20] Intus Infinity: As many of you have witnessed, our forum was upgraded to version 3.0.0 from 2.3.6 . It has fixed two major bugs that allowed individuals like Dagger Exonar to exploit and see private posts. [18:20] Anlysia Gregoire: .o7 [18:21] Intus Infinity: I will *not* be making a skin for the website. Anyone and everyone is who is willing to do so is welcome. [18:21] Intus Infinity: (Contact me after meeting please) [18:21] Intus Infinity: On to statistics: [18:21] Intus Infinity: Current ordoimperialis.com website statistics for the week of 06-20-09 to 06-26-09: There was a total of 2,972 visits (14.94% were new visits), 669 unique visitors, 20,628 page views, and the average time on website was 07 minutes, 13 seconds. Most visitors are from the US(2,080), Canada(266), and the UK(219) (Canada is beating the UK for once! Woo!). For a more detailed analysis, please see PDF document: http://intus.ordoimperialis.com/wrd062709.pdf [18:21] Intus Infinity: Thank you, and as a reminder please do not be afriad to send me or my administrators an IM if your rank is not updated on the forums, or any other sort of question. [18:22] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you Intus. [18:22] Aryte Vesperia: Damion? [18:23] Faril Iredell: wtf [18:23] DamionStJames Webb: yess I wanted to remind people about the regulations again about unauthorized vehicles. I've seen alot more of it despite me reminding people about our policy. I respect developmental testing, but not everyone is developing and I cant beleive ever claim of it [18:23] Snowean Avro steps on the cricket... [18:23] Snowean Avro: ............................................................................................................................... [18:23] Snowean Avro: ............................................................................................................................... [18:23] Snowean Avro: ............................................................................................................................... [18:23] Snowean Avro: ............................................................................................................................... [18:23] Faril Iredell: my hud just flipped out, sorry about that [18:24] Snowean Avro: fuck gesture... [18:24] Sera Otoro: shhh [18:24] ribena Homewood: Sssh.. [18:24] Aelus Janus elevated a five-digited peripheral of his, ergo placing himself in the communicatory queue. [18:24] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you. Aelus? [18:25] Aelus Janus: For the purpose of mitigating rumors: the Alliance Navy does not plan on an alliance with Vanguard. [18:25] Aelus Janus: Direct enquiries to my IM window. [18:25] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you. [18:26] Aryte Vesperia: Any further old business? [18:26] Aryte Vesperia: Excellent. [18:26] Aryte Vesperia: Moving right along to new business. Keynote Topics [18:27] Aryte Vesperia: Three topics to cover this evening. [18:27] Aryte Vesperia: Foremost, if you didn't notice . . [18:27] Aryte Vesperia: Chronus is reattached to Titan. [18:28] Aryte Vesperia: Just. In the wrong location. [18:28] Aryte Vesperia: It will be moved to the opposite end of the spawn, to the east. [18:29] Aryte Vesperia: That should take a couple days. So don't mind the giant blank sim with a happy face. [18:29] Aryte Vesperia: Questions? [18:29] Desereck Creeggan raises his hand. [18:30] Aryte Vesperia: Desereck. [18:30] Desereck Creeggan: Is Chronus now an indefinate addition to our sims, or is its future still unsteady? [18:30] Aryte Vesperia: It'll be here forever. [18:31] Desereck Creeggan: Yay! [18:31] Aryte Vesperia: Indeed! [18:31] Aryte Vesperia: Moving right along. [18:31] Aryte Vesperia: Second topic this evening. [18:32] Aryte Vesperia: Accountability. Currently, a lot of projects are outstanding--Schola instructor volunteers, leadership positions, and so forth. [18:33] Aryte Vesperia: Unfortunately we have had a strain of problems revolving around individuals volunteering to "do" something, taking a limited position, and then . . not following through. [18:34] Aryte Vesperia: In response to this, I do want to give a general warning: accountability and project management are going to be more strictly examined. [18:34] Aryte Vesperia: For example, if you volunteer to be a Schola instructor and then drop the ball . . [18:34] Aelus Janus cracks his knuckles. [18:34] Aryte Vesperia: Don't expect to be eligible for volunteering for any other limited positions until your accountability is demonstrated. [18:36] Aryte Vesperia: I will be sending out quasi-nastygrams to several people this evening and tomorrow. It is unfair to occupy a role, without intent to carry through. [18:36] Aryte Vesperia: There are a lot of folks who're eager and willing to take those positions. [18:37] Aryte Vesperia: So please do try to be a bit considerate before raising your hand and bouncing around going "memememe!" [18:37] Aryte Vesperia: Questions? [18:38] Rei Kuhr raises a hand, "Just a comment." [18:39] Aryte Vesperia: Rei. [18:39] Rei Kuhr: If you guys really want to volunteer for something, ask the person in charge to know what you're going to be doing. [18:39] Rei Kuhr: Gives you a better idea if it's up your alley. [18:41] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you. [18:42] Aryte Vesperia: Any other questions? [18:42] Aryte Vesperia: Excellent. [18:42] Aryte Vesperia: Aaand on to the big one. [18:43] Aryte Vesperia: As mentioned last week, as of Tuesday, June the 30th, I will be vacation. This period will last until Monday, July the 6th. [18:44] Aryte Vesperia: In addition to my absence, a significant portion of both Terra and Astra’s command staff will be on the same vacation outing—not to mention various other members. [18:44] Kytec Switchblade: Aswell as nearly all of the Praetorian guard. lol [18:44] Aryte Vesperia: During the six days I will be gone, some provisions have been arranged to ensure the function of the group. The purpose of this discussion here will be to explain my expectations, detail the plans I have for you all, and go over a rough schedule of availability (on my part). [18:46] Aryte Vesperia: Foremost, let me touch on the expectations portion. For those of you who have been part of the Ordo for a few months probably remember the time I took off in January, and probably remember this same speech! But, bear with me. [18:46] Aryte Vesperia: Time away from the group is, as cheesy as it sounds, really hard for me. I am naturally a worrier, and there are few things that I worry as much about as the well being of my group. [18:47] Aryte Vesperia: It is important to me that all of you are taken care of and are provided adequate support, thus when I am out and about with limited connection, it puts me off balance. [18:47] Tsume Xiao raises hand/paw thing [18:47] Snowean Avro: ... [18:48] Aryte Vesperia: Do not interrupt. [18:48] Tsume Xiao lowers said hand paw thing [18:48] Aryte Vesperia: That is not to say I down credit any one of your capabilities, but it makes me feel slightly helpless when I’m unable to simply jump on at a moment’s notice when I am needed. [18:48] Aryte Vesperia: As such, it means the world to me that all of you are extra attentive and on your best behavior while I am on vacation. [18:49] Aryte Vesperia: For the last . . . five vacations I have taken, there have been /zero/ incidents. To be able to go out of town and enjoy myself while the Ordo continues to function at optimal levels, simply blows me away. I ask of you that you please make this the sixth time I am able to go out of town without a hitch. [18:49] Aryte Vesperia: I promise you, if you make my vacation enjoyable, I will make your efforts enjoyable and rewarded when I return. [18:50] Aryte Vesperia: Remember, if there is any problem, document it meticulously. Whether that’s an internal or an external issue! Also, remember to confide in your officers. [18:51] Aryte Vesperia: Several of our most veterans will still be present and have pledged to be as available as possible while I am away. In addition, if there’s truly something that requires my attention, I will provide ways to reach me—I’ll also be dropping in daily to check up! [18:51] Aryte Vesperia: (Xayvien has pledged, he just isn't aware yet.) [18:51] Aryte Vesperia: While I am away, Legates Sosarin Demar will assume the senior command role within the group. [18:52] Aryte Vesperia: Tomorrow during the officer meeting, we will be arranging two primary tasks: raids and training opportunities. It is my hope to have the officer staff commit to hosting at least two major training routines for the entirety of the group. [18:53] Aryte Vesperia: In addition, it is my hope that at least two raids will be hosted during my time away. To clarify, Sosarin will have the highest authority during my absence. [18:53] Aryte Vesperia: Diplomacy and policy will be in his hands. Over the course of my experiences, there are few people I trust as much as Sosarin—if you have not had the pleasure to work with him, I can affirm he’s one of the most talented officers I have ever met. If you have anything that would usually require my attention, Sosarin will be able to take care of it for you. [18:54] Aryte Vesperia: On June 30th I will be departing in the early morning. Most of the day will be spent in transit, but I should return to having some availability for contact around 3:00 PM SLT. Most of the 30th will be pretty lazy and low key, so it is probable that I will be on and functioning relatively normal in the evening. A raid hosted by me is quite possible in the late evening. [18:54] Aryte Vesperia: July 1st will also be a relatively laid back day; I will likely be on and about several times to check up. Once again, it is possible that a raid may be hosted in the evening. I will be available throughout the day to answer e-mails and offline IMs. [18:55] Aryte Vesperia: July 2nd is my birthday! Haha. It will likely be a busy one for me, but I will attempt to drop by for a checkup. Again, I should be relatively able to answer e-mails and offline IMs. [18:56] Aryte Vesperia: July 3rd will likely be the busiest of days for me, but an evening (and morning) checkup likely. Offline IMs and e-mails fine. I will attempt to have an officer hand a training session this day. [18:56] Aryte Vesperia: July 4th will be an Ordo holiday. Sim will be secure and casual dress approved. So this’ll be a lazy day for you all! The weekly meeting will not be conducted. Instead, a week-wrap up post will be made on the forums to allow for weekly reports to be submitted. I know you'll miss me bantering for two hours, but, we'll make up for it the week after. :D [18:57] Aryte Vesperia: July 5th will probably be pretty damn hectic, but I expect to check up in the morning and possibly in the evening. This will be the other day I will try to convince an officer to host training. [18:58] Aryte Vesperia: July 6th will be another miserable travel day for me. I will be back in the late evening. And lastly, July 7th will be a catch up day for me and mark the resumption of normal business! [18:58] Aryte Vesperia: If at any time during my absence you need me, the best ways to contact me: a) drop me an offline IM, b) or, if urgent contact an officer (they all have my phone number) and have them bug me. [18:59] Aryte Vesperia: Hell, 90% of people in this room have my phone number. Lol. [18:59] Kytec Switchblade: For emergencies simply call 609-457-9003 :D [18:59] Aryte Vesperia: A couple things to note while I am gone: Schola will continue as normal, but there may be a delay on inductions. [18:59] Aryte Vesperia: Schola instructors, please make sure cadets are aware. [18:59] Kytec Switchblade: thats mine not Arytes [19:00] Aryte Vesperia: If an officer wishes to run an additional raid, all I ask is they give me a good heads up so I can quickly survey the field (if applicable). IE: “Gulliver sends me a text at 12:00 PM SLT and says ‘thir I want to attack here, with x amount of dudes, at 1:00 PM SLT.” [19:00] Aryte Vesperia: Otherwise, as mentioned, we will try to work out some predetermined raids during the meeting tomorrow. And finally, I will be asking an officer (or possibly another volunteer) to maintain a thread on the forums that summarizes the day’s events and provides links to any applicable reports—raid, defense, etc. That will simply make life a lot easier for me. [19:00] Aryte Vesperia: I will be here for the remainder of today, as well as for Sunday. Monday, I’ll be available for the evening. At that time, I’ll give my farewells and final tidings of “be good or I’ll beat you.” [19:01] Aryte Vesperia stares at Xayvien. [19:01] Aryte Vesperia: Oh. Karlhockey wanted me to tell everyone he’s already on his way to vacation and is not here. Or something. [19:01] Aryte Vesperia: Questions? [19:01] Nikolai Thorkveld raises a hand. [19:01] Aryte Vesperia: Nikolai! [19:01] Sera Otoro: me [19:01] Rei Kuhr raises a hand. [19:01] Nikolai Thorkveld: Just a few comments sir. [19:02] Nikolai Thorkveld: Firstly, I'd like to wish you a happy, albiet early, birthday! :D [19:02] Aryte Vesperia: Go right ahead. [19:02] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you! :D [19:02] Aryte Vesperia makes a note to promote Nikolai. [19:02] Sera Otoro splats. [19:02] Nikolai Thorkveld: Second, I'd like to thank everyone in Ordo for making my first week so enjoyable, I look forward to spending several more with everyone. [19:02] Kraa String: Only several? [19:03] Tyenshinsi Takaaki: ... [19:03] Aryte Vesperia: Haha. Shh. [19:03] Dynamic Drinkwater: You mean years :D? [19:03] Nikolai Thorkveld: And lastly, I hope you're going to inform Geodan you'll be away.. Won't you? >>; [19:03] Aryte Vesperia: Our pleasure, Nikolai. :) I hope a year from now you're sitting back going "I R OLD AND JADED." [19:03] Aryte Vesperia: . . Why would I tell Geodan? [19:04] Aryte Vesperia: The guy rarely attacks when I am here. I am usually sleeping. [19:04] Nikolai Thorkveld: His feeling might be hurt if noone tells him. xD [19:04] Aryte Vesperia: HAhaha. [19:04] Aryte Vesperia: Fine! [19:04] Nikolai Thorkveld: He's practically part of the family as it is. [19:04] Aryte Vesperia: Anything else, Nikolai? [19:04] Nikolai Thorkveld: No sir, that's all. [19:04] Aryte Vesperia: Awesome. Thank you. :) [19:04] Aryte Vesperia: Sera. [19:04] Sera Otoro: mainly comments for this. [19:04] Seb Yakan raises his hand :D!

[19:06] Zerowinged Vasiliev: ;( [19:07] Sera Otoro: passport, Visa, and all that stuff... it would have been much easier if my mother didnt make me overstay in the US... [19:07] Sera Otoro: but i am most definately looking forward to flying from the UK to meet those that are going to be there. [19:08] Sera Otoro: secondly, happy birthday for the 2nd of july aryte, but im buying you dinner early, (30th) [19:09] Sera Otoro: third, those who are going, dont do a loki and raid the babyfur room [19:10] Sera Otoro: lastly, those who arent going, make us proud [19:10] Sera Otoro: that is all... [19:10] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you. [19:10] Aryte Vesperia: Rei? [19:10] Rei Kuhr: I was just curious, how many of the staff going to AC are going to be the estate managers? Will we have enough to make sure griefers are handled? [19:11] Aryte Vesperia: Only two of the EM are going. [19:12] Aryte Vesperia: Seb? [19:12] Seb Yakan: Aryte, which do you prefer: chocolate or vanilla? Also, what's your favorite color? [19:12] Aryte Vesperia: . . [19:12] Aryte Vesperia: Vanilla, blue and white? [19:12] Aryte Vesperia: Haha. [19:13] Seb Yakan: Perfect. That's what I needed to know. [19:13] ribena Homewood: I just would like to say that I hope you enjoy your vacation, and . . I promise not to nuke Titan while you're gone. *searches sim-wide nuke and grid crasher on SLX* [19:13] Aryte Vesperia: Ribena? [19:13] ribena Homewood: Oh, and I'll buy you something awesome for your birthday. A taco in a giftbox. [19:13] ribena Homewood: Also: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbNP5yqg7hc [19:13] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you, haha. [19:14] Vinnie Lei raises hand [19:14] Aryte Vesperia: Vinnie?

[19:15] Vinnie Lei: Don't worry, ahve a great time ya'll.. the ones that are staying on Titan will make sure it stays safe, etc. oh.. and happeh birtday '=||| (bad attempt at ASCII pie?) [19:15] Xayvien Rau raises hand. [19:15] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you. [19:15] Aryte Vesperia: Bob? [19:15] Bob McKinley: Where the heck are you all going, location wise? SOrry I am lost. [19:15] Aryte Vesperia: Pittsburgh. [19:16] Bob McKinley: Oh lame ok. Thanks :) [19:16] Aryte Vesperia: Xayvien? [19:16] Xayvien Rau: Just wanted to say this...Not going to AC myself, going to be holding this hammer the entire time. With a muffin in the other, but...In brief is this statement: KEYSTONE'S MINE. >8X - End statement. [19:16] Jayce Iredell: If you see lord stanley'mug, drink only canadian beer out of it. [19:16] Ty Zucker raises hand. [19:17] Aryte Vesperia: Ty? [19:17] Aryte Vesperia: Haha. [19:17] Aelus Janus raises the previously-used peripheral for a second time. [19:18] Ty Zucker "Not sure if everyone's aware of this or not, but Wolfjoya is in the hospital recovering from heart surger. He says he should be back Sunday. When he comes back, be sure to give him a nice firm pat on the back as a 'Welcome back, hope you're feeling better' gesture. :P [19:18] Ty Zucker: surgery** [19:18] ribena Homewood: I'll give him a welcome back deadarm. [19:19] Ty Zucker: thats the spirit! :D [19:19] Tyenshinsi Takaaki: ... [19:19] Kraa String gets out a paper bag ready to scare Wolfjoyal [19:19] Kraa String: *! [19:19] Aryte Vesperia: HAha. [19:19] Aryte Vesperia: Aelus? [19:20] Aelus Janus: Intus and I will be in New York from next wednesday to the following teusday. I suggest dropping a notecard if you need something, due to the heavy IM-load. [19:21] Aelus Janus: Er, that is all. [19:22] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you. :D [19:22] Desereck Creeggan raises his hand [19:22] Aryte Vesperia: Desereck? [19:23] Desereck Creeggan: What would you do if I had everyone who'll be here, text you on your birthday, so around 100 text messages saying "Happy Birth-Day"? [19:23] Aryte Vesperia: Delete them? [19:23] Dynamic Drinkwater raises hand [19:23] Desereck Creeggan: ;-; [19:23] Aryte Vesperia: Last comment. Dynamic? [19:24] Dynamic Drinkwater: It's to Desereck's, it would not be possible because if the europeans texted him he would get a high sky bill. Also Happy Bday, I will miss you Aryte when your gone ;) [19:24] Aryte Vesperia: Haha. Thank you guys. [19:24] Aryte Vesperia: Like I said, I'll give final farewell and such on Monday. [19:25] Aryte Vesperia: Let's move on. [19:25] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you all. Promotions [19:25] Aryte Vesperia: Promotions and merits. [19:26] Aryte Vesperia: A large majority of them are in the E-1 to E-3 range. [19:26] Aryte Vesperia: We'll focus on higher tier promotions next meet. [19:26] Aryte Vesperia: Good work to all the new folks. [19:26] Aryte Vesperia: Please hold comments and celebration until end of meeting! [19:26] Aryte Vesperia: (Officers, read your forums.)

  13. ~ORDO IMPERIALIS~ OFFICIAL DOCUMENT <=====================Extend to this length=========================> <===========================================================> **********Meeting Report********** NAME/RANK/DIVISION: Dascede Aluveaux / Triplicarius / Terra Antesignani ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DATE: 20 JUN 2009 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUBJECT: General topics. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUMMARY: Ordo-wide discussion. ============================================================ CHAT LOG: Meeting Opener [18:00] Aryte Vesperia: Let's get-- [18:00] Aryte Vesperia: Idiot. [18:00] Vinnie Lei: ... [18:00] Aryte Vesperia: Dealt with. [18:00] Aryte Vesperia: Mercz. Lol. [18:00] Zerowinged Vasiliev shouts: >=| [18:00] Tyenshinsi Takaaki: Facepalmed [18:01] Christoph Batra facepalms [18:01] Kazuhiro Schnyder facepaws >.< [18:01] Snowean Avro: are you shitting me... [18:01] Aryte Vesperia: Anywho. [18:01] Aryte Vesperia: Focus up please. [18:01] Aryte Vesperia: As I was saying. [18:01] Snowean Avro: sorry sir [18:01] Aryte Vesperia: Welcome to the weekly meeting. [18:02] Aryte Vesperia: This will be as brief as manageable. [18:03] Aryte Vesperia: Please do not interrupt or speak out of turn. I will give you the opportunity to speak. [18:03] Aryte Vesperia: I will begin with my weekly brief. [18:04] Aryte Vesperia: After which we'll move on to unit reports, old business, keynote topics, and then close with promotions and merits. [18:05] Aryte Vesperia: Without further adieu. [18:05] Aryte Vesperia: We're currently sitting stable at 246 members in the main group. [18:05] Aryte Vesperia: 15 total applications over the course of the week. [18:05] Aryte Vesperia: 2 accepted. 8 denied. The remainder are under review. [18:05] Aryte Vesperia: As of today, three additional applications have been added. [18:06] Aryte Vesperia: Last week, we had seven offensive deployments documented. [18:06] Aryte Vesperia: Twenty-two documented defensive manuevers, not counting multiple unreported brief visits by Frokos and Catirandomdude#9039203. [18:07] Aryte Vesperia: Politically, several new enemies have popped up. [18:07] Aryte Vesperia: Last week, Silverhawks were ejected from the IS. The Ordo engaged them yesterday in our first raid against them. It went very well. We will definitely visit again in the future. [18:07] Aryte Vesperia: Today, the group "Corsair" announced its return. We are currently on neutral standings, pending examination. [18:08] Aryte Vesperia: And lastly, Vanguard has been confirmed as returning. Politically, hostile. [18:10] Aryte Vesperia: Internally, the Ordo has progressed at a stable rate. Activity remains high, with zero turnover, and a continued flow of applicants. [18:10] Aryte Vesperia: I do have a lot of good news to bring up during the keynote. [18:10] Aryte Vesperia: So we'll move on! Divisional Reports [18:10] Aryte Vesperia: Unit reports? [18:10] Lestat Umarov raises hand [18:10] Aryte Vesperia: Mr. Umarov, for Terra. Terra [18:10] Lestat Umarov: Much has happened in terra this week. Some command roles have been shifted, and some people have been elevated to fill the roles required. I'd like to welcome Xayvien Rau to administratio and Karlhockey Forte to the Centurion Council as the Cohors A commander. On another note, I have something to bring up to Octet and Century commanders. If it does not apply to you disregard. It is imperative that you turn in your reports on time and that I recieve a copy. If you fail to submit your reports on time/at all without a valid reason repeatedly you will be reassigned and replaced by someone that can. Now, moving on to unit reports. [18:12] Lestat Umarov: From Keller for Invictus: "Invictus has begun implementing a new training regimen, with the first exercise being held Friday, the first of many. The search for candidates to fill the current roster vacancies is nearly complete! Tsume Xiao has scripted and... 'sounded' the new Invictus SMG, a 50 round variant of the Spectre M4. The last step is texturing before it is ready for testing / approval from Munitorum for distribution. A training schedule has been developed and put into effect, effective this Friday. It will see sessions held three times a week, along with weekly raids into enemy territory. Jason Backer and Scientific Waffle have taken on roles as training instructors, so that in addition to scheduled trainings, random spontaneous ones may take place. [18:12] Lestat Umarov: From Gulliver for Antesignani: "No real news to report. Two open spots to fill. Very little training: Zerow and I were both AFK a lot. Looking into getting a howitzer made. Changed builders for the Negev and Galil projects. Looking to expand scheduled training and appoint two more squad members to run at least one scheduled training exercise and have the ability to muster bored Antesignani for impromptu sessions." [18:12] Lestat Umarov: From Xayvien for Fulminata: "Fulminata has been going rather good. We have our assigned members and their gear in the proper place. A BETA for two trainings has been completed and a third should be looked into shortly. I plan on discussing matters with joint training along the other Squad's when given a chance to sit down. As this is my first report being written for a meeting (Going to keep it brief, usually it's me taking them and handing em' over) I'll cover some of the updates for Fulminata. We currently have a new XO as Lilium has stepped down and Hokusai was appointed. He's no doubt going to be a great XO and has shown this through dedication in the past. Lilium is going to be missed in the Fulminata family." [18:12] Lestat Umarov: "A BETA of the handbook has been written and put into place. It's developed to describe some of the gear and training we may be conducting soon. I'm working on getting everyone elses time written down for possible meetings to be conducted weekly. As the current CO I have an open door approach, so if anyone wishes to speak with me in regards to Fulminata matters I don't mind. As of this time we're looking to appoint a training NCO and get two final spots filled sometime soon." [18:12] Lestat Umarov: And from myself for the Adiutor Staff: "The adiutor staff will be meeting on monday to discuss additional duties and possible reassignment of certain tasks. All members of the staff are asked to post which times are good for them on the forum thread for the meeting. On the equipment front, as I said last week a new revolver is on the way which will be scripted by Tsume Xiao. Several gasmasks are also being worked on by keller which will be completed shortly." [18:13] Lestat Umarov: That concludes my report for this week. Any additional reports may be presented at the discretion of the Imperator. [18:13] Aryte Vesperia: Excellent, thank you. Astra? [18:13] Sosarin Demar raises his hand. [18:14] Aryte Vesperia: Mr. Demar. Astra [18:14] Sosarin Demar: Astra bolstered its flight instructor group with some new members. Air combat participation, where applicable, bore favorable reports. We had an air exercise plus an event with the Mercz that went very well. My thanks to all who participated and applied themselves to seeing these activities through. [18:14] Sosarin Demar: As a personal project I've been working on an air combat survey which will be an overview of sim rules, expectations, and opinions of other groups on aerial warfare in general. The purpose of collecting this data is to interpret the general mood people have for air combat so we can find the right buttons to press in order to stimulate it naturally without hindrance. I'll be posting this data tonight for everyone to have a look'see and discuss. [18:14] Sosarin Demar: Next week I'd like to see more focus on training as well as a continuation of diplomatic activities with other groups. That concludes this week's report for Astra. [18:14] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you, Sosarin; please add Silverhawks to the list of groups to approach. [18:15] Sosarin Demar: Done. [18:15] Aryte Vesperia: Do any other units wish to report this evening? [18:15] Aryte Vesperia: All right, moving right along then. Old Business [18:16] Aryte Vesperia: Any old business to bring up this evening? [18:16] Snowean Avro raises hand [18:16] Aryte Vesperia: Snowean. [18:17] Snowean Avro: Sorry two question one general the other something i have cooking in my mind [18:17] Snowean Avro: THis is open questions right? [18:17] Aryte Vesperia: No, old business that has been touched on before. [18:17] Snowean Avro: or more like open topics. [18:17] Snowean Avro: oH SORRY [18:17] Aryte Vesperia: No problem. [18:17] Snowean Avro: nvm then sir [18:17] Aryte Vesperia: Moving right along, then. Keynote Topics [18:17] Aryte Vesperia: Keynote topics this evening. [18:18] Aryte Vesperia: I have three topics to discuss, after which I'll open to general topis. [18:18] Aryte Vesperia: Topics, rather. [18:19] Aryte Vesperia: Foremost, touching base on the unlock revisions. [18:19] Aryte Vesperia: Inoue is working tirelessly on bringing Mercury up to speed to accomodate the changes in the unlock system. At this time, she is working on finishing up the authorization portion of the scripting. [18:20] Aryte Vesperia: After which, it will be as simple as clicking on a locker and choosing "yes or no" on whether or not you wish to unlock an item. [18:20] Aryte Vesperia: In addition, a "get new" locker will be set out. Any member will be able to click it, and Mercury will send you the newest version of all the gear you should have. [18:21] Kynnaria Merlin raises her hand. [18:21] Aryte Vesperia: Inoue is not clear on when it will be prepared, but it's coming along nicely. [18:21] Aryte Vesperia: Kynnaria? [18:21] Kynnaria Merlin: Nevermind, that answered my question. [18:22] Aryte Vesperia: Perfect. [18:22] Aryte Vesperia: Any other questions? [18:23] Aryte Vesperia: Next topic. [18:23] IcedPhoenix Seferis raises a hand [18:23] Aryte Vesperia: Or not. [18:23] Aryte Vesperia: Iced? [18:23] IcedPhoenix Seferis: If someone would have unlocks pending or waiting to be used with they be available after the system is implemented? [18:23] Aryte Vesperia: You will be compensated, yep. [18:23] IcedPhoenix Seferis: Thank you that is all. [18:24] Aryte Vesperia: The way the system will work is pretty simple. We'll just tell the server . . for example. "IcedPhoenix has x amount of available unlocks to be used." [18:24] Aryte Vesperia: And the server'll do the rest when you click. [18:24] Tsume Xiao Raises hand/paw/thing [18:24] Aryte Vesperia: Tsume? [18:25] Tsume Xiao: About weapons and Mercury. Are we switching our small arms Auth to Mercury instead of Local? And If so.. would there be anyconcern about what happens if mercury screws up? [18:25] Tsume Xiao: Not to sound silly.. But like in MGS4? [18:26] Aryte Vesperia: Weapon auth (ie; attaching it) will be local. [18:26] Aryte Vesperia: Getting weapons from a locker will be server based. [18:26] Tsume Xiao: I was reffering to the attach auth, thank you. [18:26] Aryte Vesperia: So no "Mercury is down, all of our guns broke. >.>" [18:26] Aryte Vesperia: Just. "Aryte I can't get my minigun q.q!!!" [18:27] Tsume Xiao: And then Lestat runing around going "BANG!" at Praeda's with his fingers. [18:27] Tsume Xiao: D: [18:27] Aryte Vesperia: Right. [18:27] Aryte Vesperia: Any last questions? [18:27] Aryte Vesperia: Awesome. Next topic. [18:28] Aryte Vesperia: The octet leader position in Terra has been filled. As mentioned last meeting, Tyler has been deployed to Afghanistan, opening a spot. [18:29] Aryte Vesperia: I have chosen Kazuhiro Schnyder to fill the role, based upon his time in service and understanding of the position. Other volunteers will be contacted individually after the meeting and be notified as to why Kazuhiro was chosen over their qualifications. [18:29] Aryte Vesperia: Congratulations Kazuhiro. I'll get you set up and into the slave laboring this evening. [18:29] Kazuhiro Schnyder: Thank you, Sir [18:30] Aryte Vesperia: Aaand on to the next topic. [18:30] Aryte Vesperia: I would wager there's a lot of you here who don't know what "Chronus" is. [18:31] Aryte Vesperia: So I'll start from the beginning. [18:31] Snowean Avro: ... [18:31] Aryte Vesperia: We will be introducing a second simulator into the Titan cluster, to our north. The area will be used to extend the enemy approach, as we prepare to turn Titan into a city scape. [18:32] Aryte Vesperia: I have placed the sim requisition order today. So it'll likely be online within a short time. [18:32] Rei Kuhr raises a hand. [18:32] Aryte Vesperia: Quiet. [18:32] Aryte Vesperia: Initially, Chronus will be a homestead, to take advantage of the offer from LL to grandfather the price. Down the road, we will eventually upgrade the region (as planned) to bring it to a C5 like Titan. [18:33] Aryte Vesperia: The reason we've decided to uncover Chronus is simple. Linden Labs wants to give homesteads back without a charge, and keep the lower price. [18:34] Aryte Vesperia: Ordo/Titan are more than capable of upkeeping Chronus without an issue, indefinitely. A second full sim would put some strain, so we're delaying that project until economic standards have stabilized to a better quality. [18:34] Aryte Vesperia: Likewise, we want to be prepared to /build/ a second full sime. [18:34] Aryte Vesperia: -e. [18:35] Aryte Vesperia: What this means for the Ordo: [18:35] Aryte Vesperia: Extended combat zones and sim build changes within the next couple of weeks. [18:35] Aryte Vesperia: Heightened presence of attackers, as the operational zone is dramatically increased. [18:36] Aryte Vesperia: . . More space, since we're gigantic and kind of need to actually move around. Haha. [18:37] Aryte Vesperia: Questions? [18:37] Rei Kuhr raises a hand. [18:37] Snowean Avro raises hand [18:37] Aryte Vesperia: Rei. [18:37] Rei Kuhr: Want me to rewrite the spawn regulations? D: [18:37] Aryte Vesperia: Not at this time. [18:37] Aryte Vesperia: Snowean? [18:38] Snowean Avro: ow much natural cover are we talking here sir for Terras perspective in case of frontal assaults? [18:38] Snowean Avro: how much* [18:38] Snowean Avro: not including our ressable barricades [18:38] Aryte Vesperia: The entirety of the region is slated for a massive overhaul. [18:38] Aryte Vesperia: So. You'll see! [18:39] Snowean Avro: kk thank you sir [18:39] Aryte Vesperia: Any further questions? [18:40] Aryte Vesperia: All right. Opening up to general topics at this time. [18:40] Snowean Avro raises hand [18:40] Aryte Vesperia: Snowean. [18:42] Snowean Avro: Actualy sorry sir i thin that this is not much of a question just an Idea of mine that i do not know how to voice at this time and who to voice it too [18:42] Intus Infinity raises hand. [18:42] Aryte Vesperia: All right. [18:42] Aryte Vesperia: Intus.

[18:43] Intus Infinity: (no idea why I shouted. :|) [18:43] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you, Intus. [18:44] Aryte Vesperia: Next topic? [18:45] Capn Robonaught raises hand [18:45] Aryte Vesperia: Capn? [18:45] Capn Robonaught: I do not know if you are aware, just in case you all are not.. [18:46] Capn Robonaught: [June 20 18:37pm PDT] - At approximately 23:00 (11:00pm) PDT tonight, one of Second Life’s primary datacenters will be undergoing emergency maintenance. For an orderly maintenance cycle we will be bringing approximately 5,000 regions offline during the course of this maintenance [18:46] Aryte Vesperia: Oh whoa. [18:46] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you for the heads up. [18:46] Capn Robonaught: yesi sir. [18:47] Ty Zucker raises his hand [18:48] Aryte Vesperia: Ty? [18:48] Desereck Creeggan raises his hand. [18:49] Ty Zucker "Yes, i don't know if you went over this already or not because i walked in kinda late (sorry again v_v ) ... the moment that alot of sims were going offline, i think Titan also went offline, and for a split moment that it came back online, someone managed to hack the Outpost door and get in. [18:49] Aryte Vesperia: Aye, was taken care of. Thank you. [18:49] Ty Zucker: alrighty ^^ [18:50] Aryte Vesperia: Any last topics this evening? [18:50] Desereck Creeggan: o/ [18:50] Aryte Vesperia: Desereck. [18:50] Desereck Creeggan: Will we have a voidscape like we do now, in the new sim build, so that we cant sit on prims that dont have a sitscript in it? =x [18:51] Desereck Creeggan: Voidscape being the pretty megaprims outside the sim. [18:51] Aryte Vesperia: I really don't know. Niiya? [18:52] Aryte Vesperia: She isn't here, is she? [18:52] Aryte Vesperia: Oh she is. [18:53] Syl Kiranov: She's not, but I don't believe there's a solid voidscape planned. [18:53] Aryte Vesperia: Haha, thank you. [18:53] Aryte Vesperia: Any other topics? [18:54] Aryte Vesperia: Awesome. [18:54] Aryte Vesperia: All righty. Promotions [18:54] Aryte Vesperia: On to promotions this evening. [18:54] Aryte Vesperia: A few things to note before we get ther. [18:54] Aryte Vesperia: There. [18:55] Aryte Vesperia: First, the list is short and purposely so! As mentioned, letting the rank tree stabilize a bit before making larger shifts. I am also trying to avoid giving out dozens of unlock points before the new system sets in. [18:56] Aryte Vesperia: So don't be surprised if a lot of the commendations are lower end. [18:56] Aryte Vesperia: It's not because I hate you, I promise. [18:56] Aryte Vesperia: Well. [18:56] Aryte Vesperia: Most of you. [18:56] DamionStJames Webb: ^.^ [18:56] Aryte Vesperia: After I go over the list, pleaaaase do not cheer and shout until I handle the final words. [18:57] Aryte Vesperia: After which, I will dismiss the meeting and get to handing out the merits and ranks. It should take me about thirty minutes! So be patient.

Very, very good job to everyone. Thank you for a great week. I will be off and on the remainder of the evening, so please hold "omg Aryte!" IMS for a bit while I get situated.

[19:03] Scientific Waffle: lol [19:03] DamionStJames Webb raises hand [19:03] Aryte Vesperia: I believe Lestat wants to DJ and such. So it'll be laid back, just, with guns. [19:03] Snowean Avro: Yay!

But that NCO sure can't "punish" for failure to adhere to that request. Regardless, is it not within that NCO's interest (along with everyone's?) to ensure all comrades are guided appropriately." NCOs may not administer punishment. Clearly stated.
  15. ~ORDO IMPERIALIS~ OFFICIAL DOCUMENT <=====================Extend to this length=========================> <===========================================================> **********Meeting Report********** NAME/RANK/DIVISION: Dascede Aluveaux / Triplicarius / Terra Antesignani ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DATE: 13 JUN 2009 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUBJECT: General Topics ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUMMARY: Ordo gathered and discussed. ============================================================ CHAT LOG: Meeting Opener [18:00] Aryte Vesperia: All right, let's get started. [18:00] Aryte Vesperia: I do request that everyone please be quiet. [18:00] Aryte Vesperia: I will give you chances to comment and ask questions. Until that time: shadudp. [18:00] Aryte Vesperia: Welcome, all of you. [18:01] Aryte Vesperia: Let's get right to it. First up, my weekly brief. Imperator's Report [18:01] Aryte Vesperia: Currently sitting at 245 members participating within the "main" group (non cadets). 22 cadets, two of which are close to graduation (thanks Zero Itamae). [18:01] Aryte Vesperia: Total new applications last week: 22. [18:01] Aryte Vesperia: 5 approved. 16 denied. 1 under review by Cruria. [18:02] Aryte Vesperia: 2 additional applications have been added as of today. [18:02] Aryte Vesperia: 28 total defensive operations last week; shaved a couple off on account of Herdy84 whatshisface being a frequent visitor. [18:02] Aryte Vesperia: 9 offensive deployments last week. Very good job. [18:03] Aryte Vesperia: This week has proven to be a little curious. Combat has been rather steady, as has diplomacy. [18:03] Vincent Lucerne: ao off [18:03] Aryte Vesperia: Currently, the Ordo is not facing any major diplomacy issues, however there are several new developments to mention. [18:03] Aryte Vesperia: Foremost, early this week the Ordo was subject to a purposeful attack on our gear via-copybot. [18:04] Aryte Vesperia: This was following another exploit related attack against Titan Industries. [18:04] Aryte Vesperia: Both of the events were orchastrated and carried out by "Pattehph0x Katsu" (alias Banned Mode, Phox Soup, Easy Mode), or someone related/involved with Pattehph0x. [18:05] Aryte Vesperia: The situation temporarily stalled operations on Tuesday, but was largely within control by the end of the day. [18:06] Aryte Vesperia: The SCAR and the Terra-version armor were both hit. As for Titan, the AK5, MP5N, DL-18, E-11, and FNP90 were hit. [18:06] Aryte Vesperia: At this time, both Pattehph0x and those involved are banned from the grid. [18:06] Aryte Vesperia: To clean up the lingering copies, Niiya and I filed a DMCA to Linden Labs. LL has complied with the legal order and are purging the copied items. [18:07] Aryte Vesperia: If at any time oyu have suspicion of content theft, or see an item victim of content theft, please notify me immediately. [18:08] Aryte Vesperia: Although SL's security is downright shoddy, the Ordo will not tolerate the theft of our creator's hard work. [18:08] Aryte Vesperia: We will not, however, allow for these individuals to harm our daily routine or detract from the fun. [18:08] Aryte Vesperia: To briefly cover armor/gear conduct, remember: [18:09] Aryte Vesperia: 1. Armor and attire should not be utilized outside of official duties without permission. Within duty does include visitation of allied bases. [18:09] Aryte Vesperia: 2. Please be very attentive in locations like New Jessie. The region is frequented by /everyone/. A single malcontent could probably nab most army's basic gear by just sitting in NJ's hub for an hour. We do allow for the armor and weapons to be used there, but I do ask that you be attentive. [18:10] Aryte Vesperia: Try not to maximize the potential of being a target/limit risk exposure by not sitting around in the hub gossiping, etc. [18:10] Aryte Vesperia: Also, remember Astra assets and other vehicles are /not/ OK to be used in NJ [18:11] Aryte Vesperia: And again, be very sure to report anything that seems out of norm. Let's face it . . if someone wants something, they'll copybot it. There's no way to avoid it. SL's a leaky boat in the world of security. [18:11] Aryte Vesperia: So our best defense is an active awareness. [18:11] Aryte Vesperia: Politically, we're looking at a very eventful summer. [18:11] Aryte Vesperia: As mentioned in notices yesterday, an anti-IS coalition has been formed. [18:12] Aryte Vesperia: TCG, CATI, Raven Raiders, 39th . . to name a few, have banded together to attempt at tackling the Symphony's combined strength. [18:12] Aryte Vesperia: On several occassions this week and last weekend, we've faced them in defensive operations and during raids. [18:13] Aryte Vesperia: The main element of our summer attack plans will focus around defeating their efforts. [18:13] Aryte Vesperia: Questions? [18:13] Tsume Xiao raises paw [18:13] Aryte Vesperia: Tsume. [18:14] Tsume Xiao: I know MBC made it clear that they will NOT bejoining the A.I.S.C, as one of their generals talked with me about it and provided me with a spacial chat log of the invitation (and his denial) and a picture of some of the A.I.S.C. people. Also. Concerning the Iron Symphony... After the most recent gear leakage, are Silver Hawks still in the Iron Symphony? [18:15] Aryte Vesperia: Let me touch on that real quick. [18:15] Aryte Vesperia: Yesterday (and the day before?) the Silverhawks were involved in leaking some gear from other groups. The SH are the newest IS members. [18:15] Tsume Xiao: Also the"Gift box" of RoG Officer Uniform thing was from teh AISC, but sent out by an SH. [18:16] Aryte Vesperia: I did vote in favor of ejecting them from the Symphony. [18:16] Aryte Vesperia: I do not know if they were at this time. [18:16] Aryte Vesperia: I believe Lurdan planned to go through with it, if he hasn't already. [18:17] Aryte Vesperia: Any other questions? [18:17] Tresia Beck: um [18:17] Tresia Beck: what type of gear was leaked do we know? [18:17] Aryte Vesperia: Of Silverhawks? [18:17] Aryte Vesperia: By, rather. [18:17] Crash Silverfall: She crashed sir, she is probly meaning our [18:18] Aryte Vesperia: Ah. Our SCAR and armor were copied. Divisional Reports [18:18] Aryte Vesperia: All right, let's move on to unit reports. [18:18] Lestat Umarov raises his hand [18:18] Aryte Vesperia: Lestat Umarov, for Terra. Terra [18:18] Lestat Umarov: Gonna move right into unit reports this week as that's where the majority of the news is coming from. [18:18] Lestat Umarov: From Keller for Invictus: "Invictus had a busy week, starting with it's first raid in some time last Sunday, along with a training session with Antesignani Thursday night. The squad is still searching for a couple fine men to join, but these positions will likely be filled shortly over the next few days." [18:19] Lestat Umarov: From Gulliver for Antesignani: "Two official training sessions, one so unofficial I didn't do a report. The first two: One was a raid on NJ where we went in to take the flags. When we arrived, Faril had already taken them, so we locked down the sim for an hour only losing a flag periodically for a minute or so. Another was the Wednesday training in Rostok. More Bullet Tango. Afternoon session cut short by botter crisis. The unofficial was NJ that consisted of goofing around and eventually leaving because we were kinda bored anyway. Antesignani raid of 6.6.09, MBC. We took subobjectives and gave them a decent fight for near 45 minutes. Typical rocket attacks, explosive bullets, and semi effective walls dislodged us, and we more or less decayed into swarming. We eventually got the flag for a minute or so. I hereby request this be a weekly visit to somewhere." [18:19] Lestat Umarov: From Fulminata, I have nothing to report. [18:19] Lestat Umarov: From Myself for the Adiutor Staff: "The meeting that was supposed to happen this week will be rescheduled for sometime early next week. I'll be making a forum post after the meeting to get a time that works best for everyone. At the meeting we'll be discussing the current direction of the staff and possibly assigning additional duties. I have some good news in terms of unique equiptment for the staff. The masks I had commissioned ages ago are almost done, and I've secured a commission for a custom sculpted and scripted revolver ffrom a friend. I don't wanna give too much away but the revolvers going to be beastly." [18:20] Lestat Umarov: From Dascede for Armatura: "Armatura has been seeing slow progress from its coma. I have begun a new outline with a few major changes in mind. Two new magisters have been added to the team: Idle Rebane and WolfJoya Furse. Idle has been doing extremely well for his first couple days, and has taken pretty much the whole burden of teaching on himself for the last two days. My commendations to him. Wolf is a brand-new addition and I will be getting him ready as soon as possible. I have a few other candidates to consider, and I will still be talking to those of you who have approached me about the position. I would like to thank those who have expressed interest, and remind the rest of you that I am still in need of a few hands to help out." [18:20] Lestat Umarov: That concludes my report for Terra. If anyone has anything further to add please do so at the discretion of the Imperator. [18:20] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you very much. [18:21] Aryte Vesperia: Astra? [18:21] Heather McKay raises her hand. [18:21] Aryte Vesperia: Go ahead, Heather. Astra [18:21] Heather McKay: Sosarin asked me to report on his behalf: Combat participation appears good. Training continues as normal, although trainees seem to pop in and out of activity or interest. Special thanks to Williamca for planning and hosting an event for Astra this week. It's much appreciated! Next week will concentrate on training, possible events, and the like. [18:21] Heather McKay: In addition to what Sosarin has said above, I would like to commend the actions of pilots Cyric Paine and Desereck Creeggan today in dealing with the defense of Titan from the air. Protection from above. Secondly, we wish to pick up on the Apostles training as there are several candidates in the queue. Also I wish to add my thanks to Williamca Zenovka, for leading an event this week. At this time, if he wishes to mention anything further at this time concerning the event, I encourage him to do so. Thank you, and that is the report for Astra. [18:22] Heather McKay: Oh, I neglected to say, that some of our members are in the process of making plans for future events. [18:22] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you, Heather! [18:23] Aryte Vesperia: Do any other units wish to report this evening? [18:23] FireFox Breed rises hand [18:23] Aryte Vesperia: Firefox. Terra (cont.) [18:24] FireFox Breed: Some more for Terra. Some work between the elite squads is going to be done. As you all know Some of the heads are eather MIA or new. Along with some of the lower enlisted who are intristed might be getting a command 101 class or somethinglong thoes lines soon. Its a new project I am working on. [18:25] Detox Exonar: . [18:25] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you, Firefox. [18:25] Aryte Vesperia: Any other units wish to report? [18:26] Vincent Lucerne handraises :D [18:26] Aryte Vesperia: Vincent Lucerne. [18:26] Vincent Lucerne: \o/ [18:26] Vincent Lucerne: Reporting on behalf of the Chaplains and cult members Imperator >:O! [18:26] Aryte Vesperia: Oh lord. [18:26] Justice Capalini: .... [18:26] Aryte Vesperia: Go ahead. [18:26] Tyenshinsi Takaaki: ... Chaplain [18:27] Vincent Lucerne: Faith in the ranks as well as morale is extremely high as of late! [18:27] Vincent Lucerne: Our recent victories inspire our tropps to greatness in their daily pursuits! [18:27] Vincent Lucerne: troops too!* [18:27] Jester Spearmann facepalms [18:28] Vincent Lucerne: We are working on getting distributable banners to properly display the glory of the Imperium. [18:28] Vincent Lucerne: I'll keep you posted sir! [18:28] Aryte Vesperia: . . hahah. [18:28] WolfJoya Furse face desks apple sauce everywhere. [18:28] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you Vincent. [18:28] Aryte Vesperia: (Stop.) [18:28] Vincent Lucerne salutes. "Faith eternal. Glory through service." [18:28] Aryte Vesperia high fives. [18:28] Vincent Lucerne: >_> [18:28] Aryte Vesperia: Okay. [18:28] Vincent Lucerne: xD [18:28] Aryte Vesperia: Moooving on. Old Business [18:28] Aryte Vesperia: Any old business to bring up this evening? [18:29] Crash Silverfall: things about a hud old to? [18:29] Blaze Wiles raises hand [18:29] Aryte Vesperia: Sure, Crash. Go ahead. [18:30] Crash Silverfall: Well lately i wondering, that people sometimes ask say rank, so i thought about when we say check in command offcourse, that also the rank of the person pops up, would be easier. [18:30] Aryte Vesperia: Hm . . [18:30] Williamca Zenovka raises hand to add to this. [18:30] Crash Silverfall: Like you say check get a list, etc etc and add to that the rank [18:30] Aryte Vesperia: I . . am not sure how doable that is. I'll write it down and ask the gurus when they (she?) is working on it. [18:31] Aryte Vesperia: Williamca? [18:31] Williamca Zenovka: Instead of making it combined with check , why not just make it a seperate command that shows name and rank like /1 checkrank [18:31] Justice Capalini raises hand. [18:32] Jason Backer raises hand. [18:32] Aryte Vesperia: Again, not sure how much of a load that'd put onto the server if everyone could randomly ask it "rank?" "Rank?" "RAnk?" [18:32] Aryte Vesperia: Justice? [18:32] Justice Capalini: Two things [18:33] Justice Capalini: First, about lictor openings, and people curious of them, I will put a post up when we start to accept applications for lictors until then please don't bug our current curia staff. [18:34] Justice Capalini: Second, Uniform modifications and there in; Unless you have had your headgear/footgear/uniform mods approved by Me or Niiya then do not assume its okay to just wear it in normal operations. [18:34] Justice Capalini: Thats all I have. [18:34] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you. [18:34] Cyric Paine raises his hand for something also related [18:34] Detox Exonar: raises hand [18:34] Blaze Wiles still has her hand raised [18:34] Aryte Vesperia: We apparently changed topics. Going back to Blaze. [18:35] Justice Capalini: sorry for change of topic, i have to leave soon so i had to get that out there. [18:37] Blaze Wiles: relating to being causiouse around using our equipment and armour at new jessie, I was wondering if there has been a change to the exact uniform polocy about visiting new jessie, I seem to remember in the orriginal fourm noticce our uniform was listed as required there, if things come down to security, personally I have a perfectly usable set of tactical gear I can use there in stay of the armour [18:38] Aryte Vesperia: Currently, I'd prefer that uniform is worn within NJ for the sake of formality and representation. Most (if not all) other groups within the Symphony do, if not all of those outside of the Symphony. [18:38] Aryte Vesperia: Cyric, go ahead. [18:39] Cyric Paine: When i did my schola training, pone thing i found an issue was the communication problem. I did mention about perhaps having a comm unit that could listen to ours, so the cadets arent left out of the loop etc. Could have a security feature where as they need to input a code to use it on a daily basis to stop any abuse of it. Just wondering if anything was spoken about on this Idea? [18:39] Aryte Vesperia: A new Ordo HUD is currently in the works. That possibility would (will) be included. Just haven't quite gotten there. [18:40] Aryte Vesperia: Detox? [18:40] Detox Exonar: sir - can you elaborate a bit on our current combat status with SPARTA - as I have heard a couple of conflicting reports [18:42] Aryte Vesperia: Sparta has given us an unban, and in turn, banned the Merczateers. We have decided not to engage Sparta just yet, pending their removal of banishment and the terms of combat they've placed upon us. The administration of the Ordo has taken the stance that Bruno's expectations are childish-- he will only allow us to attack if one of his former high guard, such as Jaxx, leads the battle. Although I particularly like and trust Jaxx, we're not bending over backwards for Bruno. [18:42] Aryte Vesperia: Secondly, the Merczateers have suggested giving them a big "lol no" until Sparta removes their current ban against them. [18:43] Detox Exonar: thank you sir [18:43] Aryte Vesperia: Welcome. [18:43] Aryte Vesperia: Any further old business to bring up? [18:43] Intus Infinity raises hand. [18:43] Aryte Vesperia: Intus. [18:43] Intus Infinity: Current ordoimperialis.com website statistics for the week of 06-06-09 to 06-12-09: There was a total of 3,153 visits (11.70% were new visits), 570 unique visitors, 26,749 page views, and the average time on website was 10 minutes, 21 seconds.

For a more detailed analysis, please see PDF document: http://intus.ordoimperialis.com/wrd061309.pdf [18:43] Intus Infinity: Thank you, and as a reminder please do not be afriad to send me or my administrators an IM if your rank is not updated on the forums, or any other sort of question. [18:44] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you! [18:44] Aryte Vesperia: (UK is beating Canada, get to it Keller!) [18:44] Keller Teichmann: (D:) [18:44] Aryte Vesperia: (F5,f5,f5.) [18:44] Aryte Vesperia: Moving on to new business this evening. Keynote Topics [18:45] Aryte Vesperia: I have a couple topics to cover before we move on to general session. [18:45] Aryte Vesperia: First up, I do want to give everyone a heads up in regards to the planned "major campaign" this summer. [18:46] Snowean Avro ears perk [18:46] Aryte Vesperia: I have turned over the initial planning and think tank sessions to Ordo Tactica. [18:47] Vincent Lucerne: >:D [18:47] Aryte Vesperia: Quiet. [18:47] Aryte Vesperia: The task has been given to them to: a) determine a strategic paradigm; ie; "what would classify an extended campaign, within realistic standards?" b) determine targets for said campaign; c) prepare briefs on how to establish a successful outcome at said targets. [18:48] Aryte Vesperia: Until that time, we will continue increasing our overall combat deployment capacity, in preparation for extended battles. [18:48] Aryte Vesperia: In addition to that, I have made it a personal goal to deploy Astra more frequently. [18:49] Aryte Vesperia: As suggested months ago, the idea of "air raids" will be more readily embraced. Although this raises an especially unique problem -- finding someone who won't q.q to an airfroce -- I will devote a heavy level of attention to ensuring it is done. [18:50] Aryte Vesperia: I do want to recognize all of Astra, especially Sosarin Demar, who've been working very hard on keeping air combat real and available. Major kudos. [18:50] Aryte Vesperia: Questions? [18:50] Aryte Vesperia: Excellent, moving on. [18:51] Aryte Vesperia: Next topic. Another general heads up. [18:52] Aryte Vesperia: From June 30th to July 6th I will have limited availability . . as will a good deal of other Ordo. Although I will be on vacation, I will maintain active contact with the ranking individual (presumably Mr. Sosarin Demar) who'll be left in control of the Ordo in my absence. [18:52] Aryte Vesperia: Assault authority will be passed to him, and I'll probably drag all of the Ordo who're on vacation with me over to a computer to conduct the weekly meeting on that Saturday (oh god). [18:53] Aryte Vesperia: So in short . . I'll be gone, but business will go on! [18:53] Aryte Vesperia: There will be more on this the week before the actual time of leaving, but I wanted to alleviate some concerns I've heard about "D: ARYTE GONE NO RAIDS?" [18:53] Aryte Vesperia: Any questions? [18:53] Lestat Umarov raises hand [18:53] Aryte Vesperia: Lestat. [18:53] Tsume Xiao Raises hand [18:54] Crash Silverfall: ((during my study period, more stuff D:)) [18:54] Lestat Umarov: Just a statement I have to add. I'll also be gone the 30th through the 6th. So, I'll have to find someone to handle Terra business in my absense. [18:55] Aryte Vesperia nods. [18:55] Aryte Vesperia: Tsume? [18:55] Tsume Xiao: I'll have a laptop you can commendeer :> [18:56] Aryte Vesperia: I will have mine, thank you though. Haha. [18:56] Aryte Vesperia: Any last questions? [18:57] Aryte Vesperia: Awesome. [18:57] Aryte Vesperia: Hum, hum. One more from me. [18:57] Aryte Vesperia: I just wanted to announce some Terra staff changes (lol as usual). [18:57] FireFox Breed coughs [18:58] Aryte Vesperia: Karlhockey Forte, Praetorian, will be stepping in to Cohors A to lend command assistance for the time being. [18:58] Aryte Vesperia: Hunter Abrams has assumed command of Cohors C, Century 1, freeing up Zerowinged Vasiliev to focus on Adiutor work and Antesegnani XO. [18:58] Aryte Vesperia: Xayvien Rau will be stepping up as the new Fulminata CO. [18:59] Aryte Vesperia: We will be looking for a replacement for . . [18:59] Aryte Vesperia: [COHORS B; CENTURY 1; OCTET 1]. [18:59] Aryte Vesperia: As Tyler will be deploying to Afghanistan next week. [18:59] FireFox Breed: :< [19:00] Aryte Vesperia: Major best wishes to him and, as I've told him, I'll miss griefing him at 3 AM with admin abuse. [19:00] Crash Silverfall: (( you always have ribena for that sir )) [19:00] Aryte Vesperia: I will be looking for (OMG IMS) a replacement within the next couple of days. [19:00] Aryte Vesperia: Any questions? [19:01] Aryte Vesperia: Awesome. [19:01] Aryte Vesperia: All righty, opening to general session at this time. [19:02] Vincent Lucerne: >.> [19:02] Aryte Vesperia: Annny topics? [19:02] Blameux Scribe says something stupid. [19:02] Vincent Lucerne: I made a tank o.o [19:02] Vincent Lucerne: er....thing.. [19:02] Aryte Vesperia: . . [19:02] Vincent Lucerne: <.< [19:03] Vincent Lucerne: WELL NOBODY ELSE WAS CONTRIBUTING [19:03] Vincent Lucerne: :| [19:03] Aryte Vesperia: Well thank you. :D [19:03] Vincent Lucerne: :D [19:03] Crash Silverfall: Ordo in blockland? [19:03] Melna Milos: :D [19:03] Crash Silverfall: :D [19:03] Vincent Lucerne: :| [19:03] Melna Milos: :> [19:03] Anlysia Gregoire: I think we can move on, sir. [19:03] Aryte Vesperia: . . okay moving on. [19:03] Aryte Vesperia: All righty. [19:03] Aryte Vesperia: Promotions this week. [19:03] Faril Iredell: we should raid lots of people at once and use our numbers to our advantage.... [19:03] Faril Iredell: .. [19:04] ribena Homewood: Sssh. Promotions [19:04] Aryte Vesperia: Again, please keep in mind promotions are a bit light this week (as they were last week). We're allowing some things to stabilize while slave laboring Inoue to finish the unlock system on Mercury. [19:05] Vincent Lucerne: *gets the whip* >:O! back to work Ino :|! [19:05] Aryte Vesperia: And, as a reminder: promotion and merit recommendations are awesome, please send them in! Any rank, any position. We really love to see people get recognized. Your officers try their damndest, but sometimes we miss folks. [19:05] Aryte Vesperia: After I am done with the list, please hold for my final comments before saluting and all that. [19:05] Jester Spearmann: shhh [19:05] Aryte Vesperia: Leeet's get to it: [19:05] Aryte Vesperia: Blaze Wiles - [E-7]; [Comrade Support] [19:06] Aryte Vesperia: Crash Silverfall - [E-5]; [Ace] [19:06] Aryte Vesperia: Cyric Paine - [E-3];[Homeland Defense] [19:06] Aryte Vesperia: Daffe Vita - [Ace] [19:06] Aryte Vesperia: Deathcore Torok - [E-3] [19:06] Aryte Vesperia: Dominic Zapotocky - [Combat Prowess] [19:06] Aryte Vesperia: Dynamic Drinkwater - [E-2] [19:06] Aryte Vesperia: Ethan Schuman - [Ordo Achievement];[Architect of Unity];[Diplomacy];[Good Conduct];[Extended Service];[Recruitment];[Merit of Honor];[Crown of Preserver] . . . .

I will have everything passed out within the hour. By 8, we'll be heading out on a Phase 4 Armatura raid. This evening I'll be working on some admin junk, but feel free to bug me if necessary! [19:09] Aryte Vesperia: Very good work this week. Thank you so much and please keep up the good work. [19:09] Jester Spearmann: [meeting log will be posted as soon asap] [19:09] WolfJoya Furse is having a stroke. [19:09] Aryte Vesperia: Oh: don't go up above 2k! [19:10] Crash Silverfall: (( whats with the light on the ceiling here )) [19:10] Aryte Vesperia: Waaay up there . . we're working on something special! [19:10] Aryte Vesperia: Don't ruin the surprise! [19:10] Keller Teichmann: ... [19:10] Desereck Creeggan: what about like [19:10] Jayce Iredell: You realize they're going to want to go up there now. [19:10] Aryte Vesperia: Yes. [19:10] Anlysia Gregoire: That's why there's autokillers now that don't care about group. [19:10] Lone Marksman: Pew, pew. [19:10] Aryte Vesperia: I did that on purpose, so Niiya can practice with her shotgun . . like clay pigeons! [19:10] Aryte Vesperia: I kid. [19:10] Aryte Vesperia: Anyways. [19:10] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you all. Dismissed.
  16. You had to retire... couldn't take leave for a week instead?
  17. Gunau's been in Chaos for a while. He joined rather shortly after he resigned.
  18. ~ORDO IMPERIALIS~ OFFICIAL DOCUMENT <=====================Extend to this length=========================> <===========================================================> **********Meeting Report********** NAME/RANK/DIVISION: Dascede Aluveaux, Triplicarius - Terra Antesignani ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DATE: 6 JUN 2009 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUBJECT: General Topics ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUMMARY: Ordo gathered and discussed. ============================================================ CHAT LOG: Meeting Opener [18:00] Aryte Vesperia: Let's get started. Thank you all for coming this evening. When I say: I'll try to keep this short, I actually mean it. I'm exhausted and want to nap. Hahaha. [18:00] Aryte Vesperia: For the sake of routine, keep it quiet, no comments until I provide the opportunity. [18:00] Aryte Vesperia: Let's begin with the weekly report. Imperator's Report [18:00] Aryte Vesperia: Congratulations, Ordo is currently at 246 members. Four short of our 250 goal. [18:00] Lunus Ferraris Salutes! "Hail To The Imperator, Baby!" [18:00] Aryte Vesperia: 15 new apps: 7 denied, 8 approved. [18:01] Aryte Vesperia: 4 new applications as of today currently on the server. [18:01] Aryte Vesperia: This week there were -18- defense operations. [18:01] Aryte Vesperia: 7 offensives. [18:02] Aryte Vesperia: No major changes in politics aboard-- Sparta waged their first major attack on Titan today, so that's an uplifting surprise. [18:02] Aryte Vesperia: Performance across the board in combat and cohesion is satisfactory and beyond. No major incidents to note. [18:03] Aryte Vesperia: I do have a few major topics to cover this week, but they should be simple to touch on. With that said, unit reports? [18:03] Sosarin Demar raises his hand for Astra. [18:04] Aryte Vesperia: Sosarin Demar, go ahead. Astra [18:04] Sosarin Demar: Overall Astra combat participation appears to be great. I give thanks to those who've hosted personal exercises, as well as to the progress (albeit little) made with training new flight instructors. Fighter aircraft training is proceeding thanks to the hard efforts of Heather McKay. Keystone Gray is working on gathering more Thanatos trainers. We were presented with obstacles this week when it comes to networking with other air divisions to schedule activities -- difficulties contacting people or lack of response. Next week will entail more flight training, some event planning, more effort to boost the instructor staff, and hopefully more events with other air divisions should they be more receptive. [18:05] Sosarin Demar: That concludes this week's report for Astra. [18:06] Lestat Umarov raises hand [18:06] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you Sosarin [18:06] Aryte Vesperia: . [18:06] Aryte Vesperia: Lestat Umarov, for Terra. Terra [18:06] Lestat Umarov: Nothing new to report for terra as a whole this week. We have some new members and combat has picked up quite a bit. Without further delay, onto squad reports. Forgive me if they're a bit light this week. [18:07] Lestat Umarov: From Keller on Invictus: "Work has begun on a killhouse to do CQC and objective-based combat in, and the squad is building in activity, including a planned raid this weekend. The search for candidates has led to two new faces being brought on board, Teron Gray and Voxsu Aluveaux. Aside from that, however, all quiet." [18:07] Lestat Umarov: From Gulliver on Antesignani: "No major developments. One excellent training session held. Coordination of a LMG project done; preliminary talks about a sniper rifle (Vai/Ayn and Zerow with one of those? Yes.)" [18:07] Lestat Umarov: From Lilium on Fulminata: "Some inactivity issues, A forum meeting was called to help fix this situation. A new gun was put into test created by hokusai, awaiting the proper approval, The training program is undergoing review for modifications to better fit what is now required of an alpha squad. " [18:08] Lestat Umarov: From myself on the Adiutor staff: "I will be holding a meeting early next week to go into detail on the staff duties with the current squad members. This should put to rest any confusion of what exactly they're supposed to do, allow them to ask questions and provide suggestions, as well as give them additional duties." [18:08] Lestat Umarov: I have nothing to report on Armatura, altho Dascede may have something herself. I plan on having a meeting with her tommorow to discuss proposed changed to the current training. [18:08] Lestat Umarov: That concludes my report for this week. [18:09] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you, Lestat. Do any other units wish to report this evening? [18:09] Dascede Aluveaux raises hand. [18:09] Aryte Vesperia: Dascede Aluveaux, for Armatura. Armatura [18:10] Dascede Aluveaux: I am disappointed to report that activity this week has been rather sparse. I am down to only a few magisters at the moment, and I will be looking for new staff. Keep your eyes open for a forum post. Before I can do this, I would like to get the meeting out of the way. Watch next week or so. [18:11] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you, Dascede. [18:11] Aryte Vesperia: Any other units? [18:12] Aryte Vesperia: Awesome. [18:12] Aryte Vesperia: On to old business. Old Business [18:12] Aryte Vesperia: Does anyone have anything they'd like to bring up in the way of old business? [18:13] Aryte Vesperia: Eeeven better. Moving right along. Keynote Topics [18:13] Aryte Vesperia: I'll start with covering today's event. [18:14] Aryte Vesperia: For those of you who were here-- we were the target of what appeared to be "MMC 3." The inventively named "Make Mercz Cry" assaults done by large coalitions of anti-IS groups. The last two attacks (go figure) were on Merczateers. [18:14] Aryte Vesperia: As for an outcome . . the attack made it no where. Combined with the sheer number of people teleporting in (Ordo reinforcements and enemy included), it bogged the sim down to .01 TD. [18:14] Aryte Vesperia: By the time the enemy regrouped, Ordo's defense was up to forty+. [18:15] Aryte Vesperia: CATI, CS, ROG, Sparta, RR, TCG, and SCS were all involved. [18:15] Aryte Vesperia: Only two individuals made it across the ridge. [18:15] Aryte Vesperia: Both of which lagged there. [18:15] Aryte Vesperia: A third made it halfway across the north bridge before Williamca pistol whipped him. [18:16] Aryte Vesperia: The Ordo promptly counter attacked CATI and TCG. [18:17] Aryte Vesperia: Both assaults were highly successful. [18:17] Mihr Angel Wings 4.2.1: Systems Online [18:17] Aryte Vesperia: At this time, we expect another assault is planned for Sunday. [18:18] Aryte Vesperia: However it is not certain when, as the Merczateers host their weekly meeting about mid-day. [18:18] Aryte Vesperia: If any large attack occurs, you will be alerted via-group chat or notice. [18:19] Aryte Vesperia: As a wrap up, I'd like to commend all of you for your participation today. You were outstanding, on both offense and defense. [18:19] Aryte Vesperia: Especially, kudos to Anlysia for her leadership on the attack on CATI. It was excellent and very well handled. [18:19] Anlysia Gregoire: .o7 [18:20] Aryte Vesperia: Any questions! [18:20] Sosarin Demar raises hand. [18:21] Aryte Vesperia: Mr. Demar. [18:21] Anlysia Gregoire raises her hand. [18:21] Sosarin Demar: Were any air assets used? (Sorry, I missed the event) [18:21] Aryte Vesperia: There were, during the defense of Titan. [18:21] Sosarin Demar: Okay, thank you. [18:21] Aryte Vesperia: Williamca, Bob, Blaze, and Niiya were all in the air -- pardon me if I missed someone. [18:22] Aryte Vesperia: All enemy planes were dealt with without incident. [18:22] Aryte Vesperia: Anlysia? [18:22] Anlysia Gregoire: Desereck for a bit, too. But he had problems with graphics. Also, you mention another on Sunday....against us, again, or Mercz this time? Or unknown? [18:22] DamionStJames Webb raises hand [18:23] Aryte Vesperia: The probability is that they will engage the Merczateers, based upon the fact our defense is too substantial numerically. The Merczateers have more space to defend with an equal number of folks as us on guard. It'd only make sense to attack them. [18:24] Aryte Vesperia: Damion? [18:24] DamionStJames Webb: I wanted to know if I could bring something to peoples attention on another point [18:24] DamionStJames Webb: Or should I wait [18:25] Aryte Vesperia: If it isn't pertinent to this topic, then await the appopriate time. [18:25] DamionStJames Webb: Sure no problem I withdraw my hand till later [18:25] Aryte Vesperia: Any other comments or questions? [18:25] Morten Hassanov raises hand [18:25] Aryte Vesperia: Morten. [18:26] Morten Hassanov: now this isnt relevant military business, just a request [18:26] Aryte Vesperia: Is it pertinent to the current topic? [18:26] Morten Hassanov: no [18:26] Aryte Vesperia: . . Then again, please wait until the appropriate time. [18:26] Keystone Gray raises his hand. [18:27] Aryte Vesperia: Keystone. I will kill you if this isn't pertinent. [18:27] Keystone Gray: It is, sir. [18:28] Keystone Gray: In regards to the effect of deterrence via defensive infeasibility, are we any closer to the sim rebuild? I can imagine that the sooner we get on that, the more willing they'd be to start attacking us, if the rebuild is more strategically fair to the attackers. Titan, currently, is a bottleneck-ridden killing floor. :P [18:29] Keystone Gray: Err, offensive infeasibility* [18:29] Aryte Vesperia: I don't believe any sim build would provide a sense of fairness at our size. A second region is really needed. Neither of those goals are beyond an idea. [18:30] User not online - inventory has been saved. [18:30] Daffee Vita Raises hand? [18:30] Keystone Gray: Okay, thanks. [18:30] Aryte Vesperia: Daffee? [18:30] Daffee Vita: Give the enemy the base, and we get the hub, then it will be fair? =P [18:31] Keystone Gray: ... I ... [18:31] Keystone Gray: Lemonade came out of my nose. [18:31] Aryte Vesperia: If you can get forty enemy, sure. [18:31] Snowean Avro: haha [18:32] Aryte Vesperia: Let's move on. [18:33] Aryte Vesperia: It was announced before, but it is official at this point. Kitsy Bunnyhug, Curia Consul, has stepped down from her position in order to focus on school. She will still be about to torment her friends and help Curia on an advisory level, but we're unfortunately forced to let real life have her for a little bit. [18:34] Tsume Xiao: o.o [18:35] Aryte Vesperia: Kitsy /is/ my oldest friend. I met her on my third day of Second Life, in a sandbox. She was standing on a friend's head, and then shot me with a watermelon gun. Her constant presence here will be missed without doubt, but she is certainly not "gone." [18:36] Aryte Vesperia: This does shift power in Curia. Justice Capalini will assume the role as the primary Consul, effective immediately. [18:36] Aryte Vesperia: This leads me into my next topic: reworking integral portions of the Ordo for efficiency. [18:37] Aryte Vesperia: Curia usually seats two Consuls. This leaves a vacancy to be filled. We will be looking for an individual to take the position, but in the long run I have three primary goals this summer: [18:37] Aryte Vesperia: 1. Restructure Curia to be more judicially sound, efficient, and effective. [18:38] Wolf Tail >^.^<: Keystone Gray pulls out a staple gun and staples Lunus Ferraris's tail to the ground. Let's see you get away now! [18:38] Keystone Gray: ... [18:38] Karlhockey Forte: . . . . [18:38] Aryte Vesperia: Stop. [18:38] Williamca Zenovka: ... [18:39] Aryte Vesperia: 2. Increase the investigative soundness of Frumentarii, but enating ethics and real strategy of operation utilized in the law community. [18:39] Aryte Vesperia: By enacting, rather. [18:40] Aryte Vesperia: 3. Review and tailor Terra to better fit activity requirements and total quality management for officer staff. [18:41] Aryte Vesperia: It is my goal to be prepared with #1, the Curia restructure, by the end of this month. [18:41] Aryte Vesperia: My tentative plan is increasing Curia staff, by including a third consul. [18:42] Rei Kuhr raises a hand. [18:42] Aryte Vesperia: The primary consul will act much as they do now, a supervisor with wide encompassing powers, whereas the two sub-consuls would specialize in different areas-- applications, incident reports, armor and so forth. [18:42] Aryte Vesperia: In the event of an incident report requiring judicial review, a quorum of consuls would decide upon the situation. [18:43] Rei Kuhr lowers hand. [18:43] Aryte Vesperia: It would also permit the idea of open-forum trials. [18:44] Aryte Vesperia: Allowing for a higher level of justice, routine, and established precedence for rule of law within the Ordo. [18:44] Aryte Vesperia: Lastly, the idea of precedence will be followed. A database of past rulings will be kept, publically available. [18:45] Aryte Vesperia: Thus allowing for the law to actually be living and more fair, rather than arbitrarily applied to situations. [18:46] Aryte Vesperia: As a law nut and a justice major, the idea is exciting to me. What it means to you all: living, intelligent, fair justice. [18:46] Aryte Vesperia: Although Curia has performed admirably to date, the size of the Ordo does require changes to our group, to continue to evolve and to continue to provide services to the members. [18:47] Aryte Vesperia: #2, the Frumentarii development, is currently underway and will also likely be finished by the end of this month. [18:48] Aryte Vesperia: As per the nature of Frumentarii-- I can't quite say much. But we're working to change the paradigm of the intelligence operation, moving it towards a blanket agency with technological and communication powers, providing protection for the group from threats that aren't always readily apparent. [18:49] Aryte Vesperia: Most of all, the Frumentarii will be formal and available, with channels of cooperation with Curia to increase the capabilities of Curia through investigation. But, with that increased capability, there will be checks and balances. [18:50] Aryte Vesperia: Gone are the days where the Frumentarii have this mystical air of cloak and dagger. [18:51] Keystone Gray: I use the Dead Ringer. [18:51] Lestat Umarov: I can't use fiber wire anymore? :c [18:51] Aryte Vesperia: Again. [18:51] Aryte Vesperia: Quiet. [18:52] Aryte Vesperia: Rather, they are to be viewed appopriately, as military intelligence and an active, progressive shield for the group. [18:53] Aryte Vesperia: And lastly, #3 is a long term project. [18:53] Aryte Vesperia: I am reviewing the overall structure of Terra, including the possibility of shifting current standards of octets and centuries. [18:53] Aryte Vesperia: I wish to garner maximum potential from the group, while providing more opportunity for participation. [18:54] Aryte Vesperia: Please don't ask too many questions on this topic-- it's still one I'm very much so thinking hard on. [18:54] Aryte Vesperia: I will take some questions at this time. [18:55] Aryte Vesperia: Last call for questions on this topic. [18:55] Jayce Iredell raises his hand.... [18:55] Aryte Vesperia: Jayce Iredell. [18:55] Jayce Iredell: I just thought about it since mentioning of database, I haven't been on mervury for sometime as you can probablyimagine, but the last time I was on it it was in need of some major information updates...... Possible that might come into affect aswell? [18:56] Trevor Russell: (just as inoue logs off) [18:56] Jayce Iredell: (Conveniently :P) [18:56] Aryte Vesperia: Mercury is constantly evolving. Inoue is very keen on keeping it on the leading edge of our needs. [18:57] Aryte Vesperia: For example, the unlock system-- Inoue is nearly done with the back-end hardware for it, allowing for easier distribution of our weapons and better management of unlocks. [18:57] Aryte Vesperia: Information wise, we do have several people devoted to keeping it up to date. [18:57] Aryte Vesperia: Beyond that, all officers are able to add and change classifications, so as to make sure there's less lapses in accuracy. [18:58] Aryte Vesperia: Any other questions? [18:59] Aryte Vesperia: Last call. [18:59] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you. In short: look forward to some good changes. Ha ha. [18:59] Aryte Vesperia: Opening up to general topics at this time. [18:59] Trevor Russell raises hand. [18:59] Aryte Vesperia: Trevor Russel. [18:59] Aryte Vesperia: +l [18:59] DamionStJames Webb raises hand [19:00] Trevor Russell: This is a question from Morten Hassanov. He would like to know if the armor pack could come with a generic shape, for people who don't care what shape they are, and just want the armor to fit? [19:00] Intus Infinity raises hand. [19:01] Aryte Vesperia: That can be done, but keep in mind Niiya made the armor. And Niiya has breasts. [19:02] Tsume Xiao mutters something on how technically males have breasts too.... just not as pronounced... [19:02] Aryte Vesperia: Damion? [19:02] Aryte Vesperia mutters something about people constantly commenting out of turn. [19:02] DamionStJames Webb: SOrry got Im swarmed [19:03] DamionStJames Webb: I was going to comment that I noticed alot of people rezzing illegial vehicles within titan, I had to catelogue two instances earlier this week and I wanted to remind people about the policy regarding authorized vehicle use [19:04] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you.

[19:05] Rei Kuhr raises a hand. [19:06] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you! [19:06] Aryte Vesperia: Rei? [19:06] Rei Kuhr: Just wanted to point this out as it's been a bit of an issue lately. If you're going to host any form of live fire training exercise, always clear it with the OIC first. [19:06] Rei Kuhr: There's been a lot of what's seen as random firing going on lately. [19:06] Aryte Vesperia: Oh yes, thank you. [19:07] Gebastram Andretti: sling [19:08] Aryte Vesperia: Any other topics this evening? [19:08] Vinnie Lei raises hand a bit [19:08] Ethan Schuman raises his hand. [19:08] Aryte Vesperia: Vinniiie. [19:09] Vinnie Lei: I've kinda seen officer kinda hats on some and even if it looks really cool, can't stop but feel it should be as it meant to be... for occifers? [19:09] Aryte Vesperia: A formal ruling was not made to limit visor caps to officers. [19:10] Aryte Vesperia: They are generally universal in use. [19:10] Aryte Vesperia: It's not specific to officers. [19:11] Aryte Vesperia: Eeethan? [19:11] Ethan Schuman: I'll be brief. Quick update on VerticalSim. Nexii has gotten tanks working, while I work on aircraft. Expect a demo soon, probably by Tuesday. [19:12] Aryte Vesperia: Awesome! Looking forward to it. [19:12] Aryte Vesperia: Give us a brief idea as to what VS is. [19:12] Aryte Vesperia: Or you'll have 90 "wot dat?" ims. [19:12] Ethan Schuman: VerticalSim is the concept of flipping a sim onto its side so that instead of being 256m wide by 256m long, it's 256m wide by 4096m long. [19:13] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you. [19:13] Lone Marksman raises his hand. [19:13] Aryte Vesperia: Mr. Marksman? [19:13] Aryte Vesperia: "Read the Ordo Dispatch for an explanation!" [19:13] Lone Marksman: The [Ordo Dispatch] made its debut last Sunday and with great success, and we've been hard at work and've got another edition ready to roll out in the morning, so be sure to keep updated and check out the [Ordo Dispatch] terminals tomorrow to keep current on the news! We've got a number of hot button and interesting articles featured in this one. Check us out! [19:13] Aryte Vesperia: O. [19:13] Lone Marksman: Haha, and yes, what the Imperator's said. We featured a Vertical Sim article last week. ;P It'll be available for the remainder of the night in the terminals around base. [19:13] Aryte Vesperia: :D Thank you. Looking forward to the next issue. You guys are doing an awesome job. [19:14] Aryte Vesperia: Any laaast topics? [19:14] Ethan Schuman: No. Dismiss the meeting and go to bed, you baby eating bastard. [19:14] Aryte Vesperia: Hahah. [19:14] Aryte Vesperia: Nooo. [19:15] Aryte Vesperia: On to promotions. [19:15] Aryte Vesperia: Okay, before we get into this, I want to make a quick comment. [19:15] Aryte Vesperia: The list is pretty tiny this week (comparatively to last week). [19:15] Sera Otoro: zzzz.... thank you ethan..... zzzzzzzz..... [19:15] Aryte Vesperia: There are a few reasons. Promotions [19:16] Aryte Vesperia: One . . new unlock system almost here, so I am trying not to stack people with unlock points. And two, letting the hierarchy stabilize while I do officer promotions. [19:17] Aryte Vesperia: So don't be surprised if I focus on lower (or rather, if we as officers focus on lower) ended promotions -- E-1 to E-3 areas. [19:17] Aryte Vesperia: Otherwise, hold your cheers and confetti until after I make my final words at the end of the list.

We've had a rough start to summer, but it's really coming around. [19:21] Ethan Schuman: Thanks. Now, on behalf of the Ordo... GO TO BED. [19:21] Aryte Vesperia: I appreciate your time and look forward to next week. [19:21] Aryte Vesperia: I am not going to bed, dammit! [19:21] Aryte Vesperia: You're dismissed.
