~ORDO IMPERIALIS~ OFFICIAL DOCUMENT <=====================Extend to this length=========================> <===========================================================> **********Meeting Report********** NAME/RANK/DIVISION: Dascede Aluveaux / W-1 / Terra Antesignani ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DATE: May 30 2009 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUBJECT: Ordo General Discussion ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUMMARY: Ordo gathered and discussed group-wide topics. ============================================================ CHAT LOG: Meeting Opener [18:00] Aryte Vesperia: Let's get started. [18:00] Aryte Vesperia: I will keep this as humanly short as possible (I say this every week). [18:01] Aryte Vesperia: Everyone please wait your turn to speak and all the usual antics. I do have an extensive merit list to announce this evening . . so I cut down my topics to make sure this doesn't go until 9 PM. Imperator's Report [18:01] Aryte Vesperia: First up, overview on the week. [18:01] Aryte Vesperia: 241 members, 23 cadets (not included in 241). [18:01] Aryte Vesperia: 19 applications last week. [18:01] Aryte Vesperia: 10 denied, 5 approved, 2 in Curia review. [18:01] Aryte Vesperia: 4 new applications on server. [18:02] Aryte Vesperia: Currently looking at 7 offensive manuevers last week, with 19 defensive operations (whoa). [18:03] Aryte Vesperia: Diplomatically, Sparta has officially unbanned the Ordo (thank you Scientific and Jaxx). Their expectations for combat are a bit ridiculous and they just banned the Merczateers, but hey, we'll see how that goes. [18:03] Aryte Vesperia: MC issue has been formally resolved. Part of the keynote will detail Raideur's apology to the group. [18:04] Aryte Vesperia: Activity has been steady. All in all, solid, good work. [18:05] Aryte Vesperia: Welcome to all of our newest members. Thank you for joining us this evening. Divisional Reports [18:05] Aryte Vesperia: Let's move on to unit reports. Volunteers? [18:05] Lestat Umarov raises hand [18:05] Aryte Vesperia: Lestat Umarov, for Terra. Terra [18:05] Sekonda Huet raises hand. [18:05] Lestat Umarov: It's been a busy week for Terra as a whole, not so much in terms of new developments but in regards to Major command shifts. Roles have become vacant, been filled, and promotions have been handed out. Now, onto unit reports. [18:06] Lestat Umarov: From Lilium for Fulminata: "Fulminata CO and XO have both taken personal time for the last week, A training was attempted but nobody was on for it, This is a recurring problem that will adressed in a TBD Fulminata meeting. Both the CO and XO should be back and ready to begin running regular training within this weekend." [18:06] Lestat Umarov: From Anlysia for Invictus: "Invictus is down 3 people now, because Zero got bored to death. And left. And so we're looking for more people. And have several ideas on people, so, it's all good and stuff!" [18:06] Lestat Umarov: From Gulliver for Antesignani: "Only one major training exercise. One more squad member added (Vai). Discussions with XO Tandem and others lead us to some sorta buddy system. Issues with Zraz and Aeriese showing up. I plan to create--presently--a spreadsheet to begin charting the squad member's activities. This will be an unofficial role sheet." [18:07] Lestat Umarov: From myself from the Adiutors: "The adiutor staff has all positions filled, with the new members settling into their assigned roles. This next week I plan to have a meeting to discuss the squads purpose as well as pave the way for any future ideas and tasks that I'd like to see go into practice shortly. For those in the Staff I'd like to ask that you contact me with the times you're available for a meeting. I'll be posting on the forums as well. [18:07] Lestat Umarov: From Dascede for Armatura: "Progress has been inching forward in Armatura with my members. A good deal of them are graduates. I will push those active ahead when I've time later this week." Sekonda may have some additional information to bring up. [18:07] Lestat Umarov: That concludes my report for this week. If anyone has anything to add they may do so at the discretion of the imperator. [18:07] Tsume Xiao raises paw/hand/thing [18:07] Aryte Vesperia: Tsume? [18:08] Heather McKay raises her hand. [18:08] Tsume Xiao: Im in Terra now ( again, the circle is complete). Just so no one is confused [18:08] Aryte Vesperia: .. Ok. [18:08] Aryte Vesperia: Sekonda, at the end. Heather, go ahead. Astra [18:08] Heather McKay: Reporting for Sosarin Demar, so I'll simply quote what he wrote: [18:09] Heather McKay: "Air Division networking met with success in a good event with the Mercz. CS was a no show but they said they'd like to reschedule with us sometime. Still waiting on their word. Special thanks to Lunus Ferraris for hosting two different events this week. Astra training went at snails pace this week. Priority needs to be placed on expanding the fighter aircraft instructor pool. Availability and workload problems are highly evident and have delayed the process itself. Only one person has been completed since the endeavor began a few weeks ago. I'll be diving in personally to see it finished, since it looks like help is required." [18:10] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you. [18:11] Aryte Vesperia: Any further units wish to report before Armatura? [18:11] FireFox Breed has one but it can wait after arma [18:11] Aryte Vesperia: Very well, go ahead Sekonda. Armatura [18:11] Sekonda Huet: :D [18:12] Sekonda Huet: I would like to express my sincere apologies to my Armatura Staff who have worked effortlessly and selflessly for all of our cadets. I also apologise unreservedly to the cadets whom I may now inconvenience. [18:12] Sekonda Huet: [This is formatted so live with the c&p] [18:12] Sekonda Huet: There are so many people in this organisation who I have enjoyed my time with and I pay my tribute to Aryte because he provides an enviroment for individuals who have an opportunity to express their most artistic talents like Niyya and Scientific (to name but a few) and those who crave acceptance or worth in one way or another. He provides this to all of you much out of his own pocket when neccesary to create a fun enviroment. Unfortunately for me this is no longer fun and my time is needed elsewhere. [18:13] Sekonda Huet: I have decided to step down and am resigning my position as W-1 and Terra Commandant effective immediately. This will be my last time on Titan. I have enjoyed my time here when things were much simpler. [18:13] Sekonda Huet: I have made many friends here in the Ordo, but also many enemies. Those who could not tolerate my success or my personality and those who meerly did not like me. You are all entitled to your opinions but for me, my time here is at an end. I am mostly disappointed in myself for abandoning my post at Armatura and hope that my choice of replacement, with immediate effect Terra Commandant Dascede Aluveaux, will be able to take control as I trust she can do. Please direct all your Armatura related stuff in her direction. [18:13] Sekonda Huet: aithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens. Goodbye to you all and good luck with whatever you choose to do with your lives. ^,...,^ Arwarwarwar [18:13] Sekonda Huet: Throw in an F [18:14] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you for your last words, Sekonda. [18:14] Sekonda Huet: :3 Bye guys. [18:14] Aryte Vesperia: If you'd like to be in the old-fogey group, drop me an IM. Otherwise, best wishes to you. [18:14] Tony Zadoq salutes! [18:15] Aryte Vesperia: And he can't TP out, hahaha. [18:16] Aryte Vesperia: A moment before we move on. [18:16] Tony Zadoq: no you cant leave were keeping you! [18:17] Aryte Vesperia: To clarify, Sekonda's resignation is with group cohesion in mind. He does recognize that he has created an extensive list of enemies by his demeanor and attitude. It is with a great deal of maturity that he steps down to allow for Armatura to continue on unhindered. [18:18] Aryte Vesperia: His resignation in public serves two fold. Foremost, to point out that even officers are not exempt from being implicated in conduct reports. [18:19] Aryte Vesperia: Secondly, to underline the importance of this maturity and understanding for the betterment of the group. It was very responsible. [18:19] Aryte Vesperia: So I do honor him for that. [18:19] Aryte Vesperia: To Dascede: congratulations, it will be an honor to see you as our new Armatura commander. [18:19] Aryte Vesperia: Firefox, go ahead. Staff Database [18:20] FireFox Breed: Work on the staff database is going well. The amount of bugs fixxed is over 30 now. Also more permissions have been added for more control. There was a issue with the merit section with on my part. You need to reenter your merits once again. Please use it and keep it up to date so your chain of command knows what is going on with you and it will aid them greatly with merits and other paperwork. [18:20] FireFox Breed: http://firefoxinc.net/ordo/ is the master link to it. If you can not get into it or have any problems/sql errors. Please im me about it and i will fix it asap. [18:22] FireFox Breed: Also a side note to add. As of late there is some changes going on in the high level of Terra. More of the things that happen to members, when it comes to counceling and promotions. It will be logged on that database for record keeping. So please do register on it and keep it updated. It would be in your best intrist. [18:23] Aryte Vesperia: . . haha, thank you Firefox. [18:23] Aryte Vesperia: Any last reports? [18:24] Intus Infinity raises hand.

Keynote Topics [18:27] Aryte Vesperia: On to new business. I just have a few topics to cover, in order to save some time. [18:27] Aryte Vesperia: Foremost, let's touch on the MC issue. As mentioned, Raiduer has issued an apology to the Ordo. [18:27] Keystone Gray: <3 [18:27] Aryte Vesperia: It reads: [18:28] Aryte Vesperia: "1. The cause of this issue was the result of lack of proper communication between myself, Raideur Ng, and my group due to IRL issues. It allowed false information to be directed to my attention that Ordo members had attempted acts not becoming of an offical ally in the Iron Symphony. This was further aggrevated by the confusing amoung the Ordo ranking personnel for obvious reasons." [18:28] Aryte Vesperia: "2. All Iron Symphony personnel are welcomed to Nerva, period. They will be treated as guests and their officers or respective ranking members treated with the utmost dignity during their stay here. The Militant Collective recognises the faults in communication and has introduced new regulations to prevent any further disruption of our otherwise flawless cooperation." [18:29] Aryte Vesperia: "I, Raideur Ng C-3, convey my apology for the trouble this has caused both our groups." [18:29] Aryte Vesperia: I have accepted his apology on behalf of the Ordo Imperialis. A meeting is scheduled for IS High Command to discuss recent events beyond this matter, tomorrow at 7:00 PM (yay >:( ). [18:30] Aryte Vesperia: I have removed the request that Ordo not visit Mc. You are able to at this time. If you do, please be sure to respect their regulations, and the orders of their personnel. [18:30] Aryte Vesperia: Please be certain to notify me if you have any problems. Detail events meticulously. [18:30] Aryte Vesperia: Questions? [18:30] Keystone Gray raises a hand. [18:30] Tiridates Mikadze: /me [18:30] Aryte Vesperia: Keystone. [18:31] Tiridates Mikadze: whoops [18:31] Keystone Gray: I'd just like to point out that if you do go there, make sure that if someone is on Voice and problems do arise, do your best to recap the comments made on Voice. Be objective; no bias. [18:32] Keystone Gray: Oh, and list witnesses if such an event occurs. [18:32] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you, Keystone. [18:32] Aryte Vesperia: Tiridates? [18:32] Tiridates Mikadze raises his hand. [18:33] Tiridates Mikadze: SO, like, I have to scrap all my daring warplans and contingencies then and sigh about the war that never was :(? [18:33] Aryte Vesperia: . . [18:33] Aryte Vesperia: Next topic. [18:33] Aryte Vesperia: Terra staff. As mentioned by Firefox, we are quickly filling the remaining roles.

^ thinks he needs some sleepehs. < is not an officer yet, but feels well on her way. v likes 90's themesongs.

We keep track of them so that if they show up in the spawn, they're already banned and we don't have to spawncamp them to keep them out. They're banned because they are a group of quasi-griefers who primcopy other militaries' hard work, and do nothing but cause trouble and stroke themselves while everyone is pissed off.

Alter is a bot?

Other than this no new changes." [18:09] Lestat Umarov: From Keller Teichmann for Invictus: "A quiet week for Invictus. Training has continued, culminating in a large Terra & Astra exercise held on Wednesday. Work continues on training, and the squad as a whole has been active in raids and exercises. Currently searching to fill the two recent vacancies." [18:09] Lestat Umarov: From Gulliver Carpool for Antesignani: "Status quo. A slowed week training-wise. Focusing on filling our roster's holes. Main concern: Squad activity. Would like to get bimonthly scrimmages against Invictus going. Perhaps get the whole Ordo involved to watch/cheer, Army Navy game style. Perhaps have the rosters filled out ahead of time and whoever has slots open have a lottery among the non-Alphas to participate" [18:10] Lestat Umarov: From myself on the Adiutor Staff: "Sekonda Huet has stepped down per my suggestion as Adiutor XO to focus his attention on Armatura. He's been increasingly busy irl and this is for the good of the squad and his schedule. I'll be filling the vacancy shortly and plan to get the squad working more smoothly. [18:10] Lestat Umarov: From Sekonda Huet for Armatura: "Armatura had recently welcomed Astra cadets to take Armatura and much to my suprise a huge number of you took that opportunity. I am glad to say a significant number of cadets were graduated within a few days and issued their wings patch. Hopefully they have benefited from their training. The settling in of new instructors is over, they are now taking classes as and when needed and in accordance with the schedule so if you are looking for Armatura training the first place you should look is here ---> http://tr.im/h1wc <-- and you will get the names, classes and class times. This information is always kept up-to-date. And finally, I could still use another Instructor for here and there work. If you're interested in participating please drop me a Notecard. That concludes Armatura's Report." [18:11] Lestat Umarov: This concludes my report for Terra. If anyone has anything further to add do so at the discretion of the imperator. [18:11] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you. [18:11] Aryte Vesperia: Next? Astra [18:11] Sosarin Demar raises his hand. [18:11] Aryte Vesperia: Legates Demar, for Astra. [18:12] Sosarin Demar: Invictus and Astra had a joint combat exercise this week. It went superbly, to say the least. Everyone fought and behaved well. The admonitor as a dropship presented an interesting component to the combat, and the objective within the base was a challenging goal to pursue. People on both teams went above and beyond what any of our other foes could do to our base. I feel we should have another in the future sometime. [18:12] Sosarin Demar: Also, I personally experienced Thanatos training and give it a double thumbs up. I give a special thanks to Keystone and Kraa for developing and putting it into play. Already many people have received Thanatos training. On that note, the fighter aircraft training queue now has one person left in it. We're finally caught up, as it were. [18:12] Sosarin Demar: After the meeting, Astra is going to have a free for all engagement with AN for the sake of aerial combat fun. It'll take place above 1,000 meters, so it shouldn't be too disruptive. Astra is pursuing events with other groups, such as Mercz and CS. We've scheduled an event with CS this monday, for instance. We hope to stimulate air combat in this fashion. [18:13] Sosarin Demar: Astra combat participation is great, both ground and air. Next week I hope to see the Apostles wrap up or start with some of the other flight instructor candidates. In addition, a strenghtening of bonds through Astra's air activities with other air groups. That concludes this week's report for Astra. [18:13] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you. [18:13] Aryte Vesperia: Do any other units wish to report this evening? [18:13] Aryte Vesperia: Moving right along, then. Old Business [18:14] Aryte Vesperia: Old business. Are there any old topics to discuss this evening? [18:14] Aryte Vesperia: Vinnie Lei. [18:14] Vinnie Lei: Any news on UU? [18:15] Aryte Vesperia: Yes, actually. [18:15] Aryte Vesperia: Kono Kestenabum submitted his resignation from the UU earlier today. [18:15] Ragerat Sands: 0 [18:15] Aryte Vesperia: Mazzy Fastback, UU's leader, is unaccounted for. The account "Mazzy Fastback" is missing from search. [18:16] Keller Teichmann raises his hand. [18:16] Aryte Vesperia: As I understand, Mazzy Fastback now is under the alias Leia Mercy. [18:17] Aryte Vesperia: As for the reasoning, I do not know. [18:17] Tsume Xiao raises paw [18:17] Lestat Umarov raises a brow [18:17] Aryte Vesperia: Keller Teichmann? [18:17] Tsume Xiao lowers hand again [18:18] Keller Teichmann: From what Kono told me when we spoke last, her account has been banned for disclosure, or something along those lines. [18:18] Lunus Ferraris raises a paw [18:18] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you. [18:18] Aryte Vesperia: Lestat Umarov? [18:19] Lestat Umarov: I didn't have a question, just looked at the picks in the profile and was like "k..." [18:19] Aryte Vesperia: Ha ha . . [18:20] Aryte Vesperia: Lunus Ferraris? [18:20] Lunus Ferraris: Oh ummm I was gonna ask about the disclosure thing but I asked Keller in IM's so nvm [18:21] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you. [18:21] Aryte Vesperia: Any further old business this evening? [18:21] Vinnie Lei raises hand.. [18:21] Aryte Vesperia: Vinnie Lei. [18:21] Anlysia Gregoire raises her hand. [18:22] Vinnie Lei: I had received an invitation to visit the UU sim, but declined feeling too hurt to even consider it... but what's the status on communicationg with.. UU. [18:23] Aryte Vesperia: As in, formally, or on an individual basis? [18:23] Vinnie Lei: Both, actually. [18:23] Aryte Vesperia: The Ordo has no interest in controlling who you can or can not speak to. That would be your decision. Formally, communication has been through my person. [18:25] Aryte Vesperia: As of this morning, the UU was actively soliciting other Ordo to enlist. So, use your head. [18:25] Aryte Vesperia: Anlysia Gregoire? [18:25] Anlysia Gregoire: Meeting sometime soon plz. [18:26] Aryte Vesperia: For Titan? [18:26] Anlysia Gregoire: Yes. [18:26] Aryte Vesperia: When the opportunity arises. [18:26] Anlysia Gregoire: Righto, that's all. [18:26] Aryte Vesperia: Next topic? [18:26] Keller Teichmann raises his hand. [18:27] Aryte Vesperia: Keller Teichmann. [18:27] Keller Teichmann: Is there any update on Chronus? I forget where we are with that. c.c [18:27] Aryte Vesperia: Update on what part? [18:28] Keller Teichmann: Where we sit in terms of funds / plans to get it back online. [18:28] Aryte Vesperia: We have the necessary amount to purchase a second Class-5 region. The hold at the moment is less of "affording" and more of being ready to do something with the region. [18:29] Keller Teichmann nods. [18:29] Crash Silverfall raises hand for comment [18:29] Aryte Vesperia: Crash Silverfall. [18:29] Crash Silverfall: on that [18:29] Jinxy Fluffball raises a hand [18:29] Crash Silverfall: i think its better to build it first in here in titan, like 4k up and then you buy the sim and put it in it [18:30] Aryte Vesperia: Something to that effect would likely be the approach. [18:30] Aryte Vesperia: Jinxy Fluffball. [18:31] Crash Silverfall raises paw again [18:31] Jinxy Fluffball: what is the status on the new sim build, i ask since 1. this one is gettin old ^^, and two, ive visited the UU base and i see many similar traits, [18:32] Aryte Vesperia: Well, we don't have control of who decides to mimic our build. As for a new region design, there are ideas on the table, but no progress as to actually making it happen. Constructing a set up is an extraordinary amount of resources, in both time and effort. [18:32] Aryte Vesperia: Crash Silverfall? [18:32] Crash Silverfall: Recently i made this topic in " Suggestion Box " Named " Sword event " i was wondering about that, people said it would be cool, But who to approach to let it actually happen? [18:33] Aryte Vesperia: Did you intend for the fight to be Ordo only, or versus/involving another organization? [18:34] Crash Silverfall: Well i dont really mind if others join or wether its just ordo. [18:34] Crash Silverfall: Only Ordo would be cool to [18:34] Aryte Vesperia: If it is internal to Ordo, it would be as simple as posting a time to garner interest on the forums, and then clearing it with an officer (or myself) who can secure the region for you. [18:35] Crash Silverfall: Ah okay Thanks. [18:35] Aryte Vesperia: Very welcome. General Session [18:35] Aryte Vesperia: Opening up to general session. Old and new business. Next topic? [18:35] Lupus Mielziner raises paw (new topic) [18:35] Aryte Vesperia: Lupus Mielziner. [18:37] Lupus Mielziner: Some ppl gt confused about afk ppl on the walls and all around the base , in some moments its very hard to get a good overview for the personel in charge to know how many ppl are active in combat or just afk so my i dear or topic would be a place on the sim maybe a room in the lower floors for ppl to leave there avatar afk [18:37] Lupus Mielziner: some officers pointed on that before in vent that it would be something "good" [18:38] Aryte Vesperia: As mentioned several times, it would be acceptable to idle in the armory. I don't really see the need for creating an entirely seperate "afk lazy people room." [18:38] Rei Kuhr raises a hand for a comment. [18:38] Aryte Vesperia: Rei Kuhr. [18:39] Rei Kuhr: Lupus does have a point though. Even if it's been said that the armory is acceptable for idle, we still have a good number that still go idle on the wall or other inappropriate places. [18:40] Crash Silverfall: raises paw for comment on that [18:40] Aryte Vesperia: Crash Silverfall. [18:40] Crash Silverfall: even though this may sound impossible to make, imma say it anyway [18:41] Crash Silverfall: If people would go afk on wall, there should be like an auto remover and auto sender that sends the person to the armory or that special place that will be made or afk people [18:42] Aryte Vesperia: I would like to avoid anything of the sort. [18:42] Crash Silverfall: Ah [18:43] Aryte Vesperia: Next topic? [18:43] Intus Infinity raises hand. [18:43] Aryte Vesperia: Intus Infinity. [18:44] Intus Infinity: Current ordoimperialis.com website statistics for the week of 05-16-09 to 05-22-09: There was a total of 3,283 visits (13.56% increase from the previous week), 540 unique visitors, 29,420 page views, and the average time on website was 11 minutes, 24 seconds.

[18:44] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you. [18:44] Aryte Vesperia: Next topic? [18:45] Vinnie Lei raises hand... [18:45] Aryte Vesperia: Vinnie Lei. [18:45] Trevor Russell raises hand. [18:45] Vinnie Lei: Me and Crash had ideas for possible update or replacement for the Velox Jetbike... I'd like to pursue further with him if that's allright with ya. [18:46] Aryte Vesperia: You are free to, but keep in mind the possibility and potential denial of use. [18:47] FireFox Breed rises paw [18:47] Aryte Vesperia: Trevor Russell. [18:48] Trevor Russell: I would just like to add, if Intus isn't around, you may IM me for rank changes on the forums as well. Usually, it means i forgot, or got lazy that week (updating them now aryte D:) [18:48] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you. [18:48] Aryte Vesperia: Firefox Breed. [18:49] FireFox Breed: Just a reminded for people. Please keep your profiles up to date on the staff database. In the upcoming weeks I am going to add more options for squad leaders and such so they can keep track of there troops. I would like everyone to at least keep your metirs and ranks up to date on it. [18:49] FireFox Breed: If you have any questions on it. Like password resets please im me [18:50] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you. [18:50] Aryte Vesperia: Next topic? [18:50] Aryte Vesperia: Final opportunity. [18:51] Crash Silverfall: yes [18:51] Crash Silverfall: raises paw [18:51] Aryte Vesperia: Crash Silverfall. [18:51] Crash Silverfall: I would just like to say, for within a few hours when the astra event will be starting, also dunno wether this is importent or not but just like to add [18:52] Crash Silverfall: To not start attaching massive lag scripts & stuff so astra can try to have a free lag sky [18:52] Crash Silverfall: Thats all ty [18:52] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you. I will be coordinating with Sosarin and the AN to secure the region. [18:52] Aryte Vesperia: Last call? [18:53] Aryte Vesperia: All righty. Thank you [18:53] Aryte Vesperia: Shortest meeting in months. [18:53] Aryte Vesperia: Ha ha. [18:54] Aryte Vesperia: Moving on to promotion list this evening. Promotions [18:54] Aryte Vesperia: Please hold your salutes and congratulations until I have my final words after the list.

[19:03] Aryte Vesperia clasps his fist to his chest, presenting a salute.

'57 Corvette. Nice painting.

If there's anything I could do to help, I could maybe put in some contribution...

Une cr

It still stirs anger in me to see their cute little advert they posted on the NJWJ, and I will always remember the shock that it gave me to see two of them as close friends of mine there, and know that THEY, of all of us, were being two-faced backstabbers, trying to leak out more of us while we continued our trust in them... I am especially hurt at their lack of... of care, really! They didn't care enough to tell us about miscontent, to try and reconcile things. No, they let it rot and then it came to this. This is what I get for joining a community on SL. With the shit I see on NJWJ, I guess I can't really say that I shouldn't have seen this one coming. We can try as hard as we want but the drama will always seep into the corners. A sad fact of life. Sometimes I wonder what the point of bonding together is if this can just happen... but in my bitterness, I forget that that's what makes us so great is how close we are. It is time to get up and move on. The bleeding stump, in analogy, was a small one and is on its way to sealing and hardening, and eventually healing as we either forget them or accept what they did. (sorry if that was kind of graphic) I tend to hold grudges... I'll be damned if I can just let this one go in two days. I may not outwardly show it, but I want to do some rather bad things to them. It's my nature when I am pissed off, hurt, sad, and surprised in bad ways... For those of you who are going "o.O Why do you give a fuck?" ... well. My apologies to you. Sorry. I guess it's just me to take it personally across an internet connection, right? -.=.-

:D I'm observant... usually. X3

~ORDO IMPERIALIS~ OFFICIAL DOCUMENT <=====================Extend to this length=========================> <===========================================================> **********Meeting Report********** NAME/RANK/DIVISION: Dascede Aluveaux / Duplicarius / Terra Antesignani ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DATE: 18 May 2009 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUBJECT: Short Ordo-wide meeting to discuss certain things. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUMMARY: The Ordo gathered and discussed. ============================================================ CHAT LOG: Meeting Opener [16:59] Aryte Vesperia: All right. [16:59] Aryte Vesperia: Let's get started. [17:00] Aryte Vesperia: This will be brief. Main Topic [17:00] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you all for joining me. I have some words to say in reference to recent events, namely our little incident of treason. [17:00] Aryte Vesperia: I warn you, my tone will be rather harsh. [17:00] Aryte Vesperia: I am not in the least bit amused. [17:00] Capn Robonaught coughs. [17:01] Aryte Vesperia: Understand that I do not have anything personal against these individuals, but I have quite a lot of fault with their situation. [17:01] Aryte Vesperia: I have been doing this for a very long time. But even after so many years, the sensation of betrayal is something that still astounds me. Over the course of my career, I have truly lost count of the times the Ordo has been victim to this sort of deception. It is simply the nature of the community. [17:02] Aryte Vesperia: There are those who will join a group and ride out their time until it fizzles off, only to reminisce years later of the “good ol’ days.” And then there are those who will sell you out the moment they see an opportunity to fulfill their ambitions and delusions of grandeur. [17:02] Aryte Vesperia: Treasonous activity is usually entirely rationalized by the committers. It is easy to convince yourself that something is “correct” when the implication of self interest is interjected into the equation. [17:03] Aryte Vesperia: So quick are people to forget their loyalty when there’s that twinkle in their eye. Let us be perfectly blunt. What we experienced and are experiencing is just that: treason. Seven members of the Ordo Imperialis have committed treason, all of who participated in the creation of the “Urramaich Union,” a group created by yet another former Ordo Imperialis member. [17:04] Aryte Vesperia: Mazzy Fastback’s group, ironically, coined the term “Urramaich,” which translates to “union of respect.” There is nothing respectful about what has happened here, regardless of how the picture is painted. [17:05] Aryte Vesperia: Iccarus Infinity stated that his reasons for leaving were “I didn’t feel I could contribute enough to the Ordo.” [17:05] Capn Robonaught: pfft [17:05] Aryte Vesperia: Quiet please. [17:05] Aryte Vesperia: Instead of trying to contribute, exert effort, and work toward actually . . . trying to contribute, Iccarus determined he could better help the community by secretly participating in creating another group. Somehow, by being deceitful, creating damage within the Ordo Imperialis, Iccarus intends to help the community. [17:06] Aryte Vesperia: The means to help the community by generating the very sensation that destroys it: dishonesty, disrespect. That’s an extraordinary plan. I am not entirely sure that I believe his excuse. [17:06] Aryte Vesperia: Xegras Xue claimed that he “wished to help spark the community,” and had “approached Mazzy in the past about creating a group to do so.” [17:07] Aryte Vesperia: Xegras was a rising star among Astra. In less than six months he had become a flight leader, with several commendations for combat valor. [17:07] Aryte Vesperia: Rather than assist Astra’s massive undertaking of bringing all militaries to the table—allied and hostile alike—to enrich and increase the excitement in air combat for the community, Xegras decided it’d be a better approach to misuse the trust put within him, dual enlist secretly, and alienate the individuals placed under his care as a flight leader. I wish him the best in his endeavors to inspire the community, but I am still perplexed as to how the community is benefiting from deceit. [17:08] Aryte Vesperia: Silver Meridoc stated “the way things were going, there was so much that could be done that aren’t.” That is a very complex and veiled statement within itself. [17:08] Aryte Vesperia: I agree whole heartedly with Silver: there is quite a lot that could be done that is not being done. [17:09] Aryte Vesperia: But my question to Silver is . . . then why not take it upon yourself to do it? If you recognize something that can improve the Ordo, go for it. [17:09] Aryte Vesperia: Kono Kestenbaum stated he was unhappy with how the Ordo was heading. He claimed that alpha squads have been “nerfed” and he was tired of the “cold bitch” Niiya Narayan. [17:10] Aryte Vesperia: He also stated he wanted to create “an enemy from within” for the Ordo to fight. In short, Kono is mad because Niiya slapped him on the wrist and forced him to choose a specific piece of equipment for Antesegnani. [17:10] Aryte Vesperia: Niiya informed him that no, Antesegnani could not have tanks, power armor, a special hud, and variable weapons. Niiya’s benevolence to pour her efforts in to a specific product and desire to maintain a status quo by giving Antesegnani an edge without making other units redundant . . . apparently made her a “cold bitch.” [17:11] Aryte Vesperia: Kono effectively destroyed over six months of meritous service because he could not have all the toys that he wanted. I hope Kono enjoys his new tank and the subsequent bans he’ll receive for utilizing it in other regions, as we warned him here in the Ordo. [17:12] Aryte Vesperia: Sasami Zwilling and Esichs Sommerstein were really not of any surprise. Sasami is the significant other of Mazzy and Esichs lives with Mazzy. [17:12] Aryte Vesperia: Although I would’ve preferred some honesty and a lack of dual enlistment, I do respect their attachment to Mazzy. I don't respect the deceit and the fact they recruited other Ordo members to their new club. [17:13] Aryte Vesperia: Finally, Dralkanen Hextall, the senior most of the individuals who dropped out, is the only one with the fortitude and respect to have done so without some vestige of secrecy and cloak/dagger antics. [17:14] Aryte Vesperia: Dralkanen explained his reasoning as general discontent at how the “Ordo has evolved.” My only, vivid, most annoyed complaint . . . how in God’s name did Dralkanen not know to voice his complaints? His reply “I dropped hints.” Ah. [17:14] Aryte Vesperia: Hints. [17:14] Aryte Vesperia: Right. [17:14] Aryte Vesperia: Hints. If you have a problem, you need to own up and speak about it. Not drop hints. I do not sit here for hours a day for people to drop hints at me about their disdain in a situation. [17:15] Aryte Vesperia: I do not have an open door policy and a near-constant availability to be hinted at. I do not promise to honor and give every idea for improvement within the Ordo a fair chance, to be hinted at. [17:15] Aryte Vesperia: As much as I love Dralkanen and am incredibly sad to lose him, the intense irritation that I feel to find out he’s gone because he “hinted” at his disdain, rather than sit down and speak about it is incredible. [17:16] Aryte Vesperia: What we have here is not a command failure, nor an issue that would have been unsolvable. [17:16] Aryte Vesperia: We have a dash of greed, a dash of ambition, and a whole lot of failure to communicate to solve these “concerns.” The thing that irritates me almost as much as that is the fact seven people just destroyed their careers here. [17:17] Aryte Vesperia: Seven people, who invested their time here, and in turn, had a great deal of time invested in them. Call me a bitter old bastard, but I have seen this trend and I have seen this same ordeal happen a half dozen times. [17:18] Aryte Vesperia: Every “break away” organization that I have ever witnessed fizzles out disperses otherwise good members into various other factions. [17:18] Aryte Vesperia: I have been called “cold and unapproachable” in this situation. If that is the perception of more than just the individual, I deeply apologize. [17:18] Aryte Vesperia: I am neither intending to be cold nor unapproachable. I was told by Mazzy that “I didn’t value” these individuals who left. That I “never showed it to them.” [17:19] Aryte Vesperia: If that is a shared expression, I apologize again. [17:19] Aryte Vesperia: I was under the impression that my love for the Ordo was evident by the amount of time I spend here. And by loving Ordo, I certainly love and value every individual inside of it. [17:20] Aryte Vesperia: When I induct new members, I always say the words “you begin with my respect.” There is no deviation there. The moment you step into this group, you are my friend, my comrade, and my family. [17:20] Aryte Vesperia: I try diligently to ensure everyone is aware of how valued they are. If I had 48 hours in a day, I’d be damned sure to contact each of you every day just to chit chat. But I do not. I have the responsibility of protecting your interests, overseeing your management, and ensuring the continued existence of this group. [17:21] Aryte Vesperia: I hope that everyone understands through working, I am demonstrating my affection and respect for you all. If I did not want you here—if I did not like you, you would not be here [17:21] Aryte Vesperia: When you join, you take an oath. That oath is not intended to simply be humor or set the RP tone. It is a valid, real oath. [17:21] Aryte Vesperia: You pledge to uphold your comrades, as they will uphold you. Part of this equation is not only loyalty, but respect and understanding the necessity of voicing your concerns. [17:22] Aryte Vesperia: Every opinion is considered. It does not mean if you simply do not agree with something, that it will change. It does mean that you are valued and we value your individual wishes. [17:22] Aryte Vesperia: Every person, unique and individual, comes together to create the atmosphere of the Ordo. Duty is doing what you must do for the good of all, rather than for the good of yourself. Sometimes, that means going against your own opinion. [17:23] Aryte Vesperia: Your officers and I are here to work for you. We are here to work for this group, not to boast our e-egos, or wield some sort of imaginary power. [17:23] Aryte Vesperia: We are here, I am here for you. I do not know how else to prove it to you than to give you my every spare moment. [17:24] Aryte Vesperia: We are not harmed by this loss, no structural damage has been done. We are, however, offended. [17:24] Aryte Vesperia: Our morale has taken a natural hit, especially for those who were and are friends with the individuals who left. It has created a sense of unease. A curiosity if “will anyone else leave?” [17:24] Aryte Vesperia: My assumption at this time is: no, I believe we’ve lost all who intend to leave. [17:25] Aryte Vesperia: If I am incorrect, then that is unfortunate, but the Ordo and our existence will go on. We are a constant, so as long as there is at least one other individual interested in this group, I will be here. [17:25] Aryte Vesperia: I don’t expect this to be a major set-back. It is a minor speed bump. We will move on; it is not necessary to forgive, or to forget what has happened. But we will accept it, as we have always accepted every temporary pain. [17:26] Aryte Vesperia: As your leader and as your friend, I promise you every thing I have always given. My time, my faith, my affection, and my respect. [17:26] Aryte Vesperia: Beyond that, I promise you I am neither here to offend or to be cold. If you ever have a problem, I implore you to speak up. [17:26] Aryte Vesperia: . If I ever have to face another situation where I lose parts of my organization on account of failure to communicate concern, I will be incredibly mad. I make myself available, not to be ignored, not to be hinted at, but to be utilized as your instrument to success within the Ordo. [17:27] Aryte Vesperia: May you all look back a year from now, honorably retired, or still seated among this group. May you shrug it off with a smile, as you should now. You are Ordo. You are my family. Thank you. [17:27] Aryte Vesperia: Questions? [17:27] Teron Gray raises paw [17:27] Sekonda Huet: Here here :D [17:27] Redemption Islander: WHOO! TO FAMILY! [17:28] Tsume Xiao raises hand paw things [17:28] Zonra Darkmatter: /rme raises paw [17:28] Anlysia Gregoire raises her hand, as well. [17:28] Seb Yakan: Prepare your questions ahead of time :> [17:28] Aryte Vesperia: Teron. [17:28] Keystone Gray raises his hand. [17:29] Teron Gray: First off, I would like to say that you are far from cold or unapproachable, to outsiders that may seem to be just from the aura that stems from the RP element of our group. But you are quite personable, outgoing and charismatic. As for my question, this was a simple loss of members, no compromise of gear or equipment? [17:30] Sekonda Huet raises hand, has to go too. [17:30] Aryte Vesperia: No, as far as I understand our gear is secure. And thank you. [17:30] Aryte Vesperia: Sekonda. [17:30] Sekonda Huet: I'll just say this, I'm still here and I'm a jerk at times, thus Aryte loves me. You shouldn't feel a need to explain yourself to people on this matter, as Teron said most of us here understand what your up against. [17:31] Sekonda Huet: Don't beat yourself up on our part. :p [17:31] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you. [17:31] Aryte Vesperia: Tsume. [17:31] Xayvien Rau: (SEKONDA TOUCHED ME. Dx) [17:31] Capn Robonaught rasies hand. [17:31] Sekonda Huet: c.c? [17:32] Voxsu Aluveaux: ((musta enjoyed it to scream it.)) [17:32] Keller Teichmann: (Shhhh.) [17:32] Tsume Xiao: I could so many things right now... I had something written but the program froze on me. What makes me the most dissapointed... Is that these people would give up so much on such a small whim, that they would just trash their loyalty because of ... gear issues and other small things... I know there are people who could say I am not one to talk... But wow... That is what makes me the most upset about this. [17:33] Aryte Vesperia nods. "Thank you for your comment." [17:33] Aryte Vesperia: Zonra. [17:33] Dracko Pera is possibly sending you a message... [17:33] Redemption Islander raises paw. [17:33] Sosarin Demar raises his hand to make a comment, when and if he may. [17:33] Zonra Darkmatter: I must say that i have as a new recruit never seen you as cold or unaprotchable, as you said you gave uss your respect at the initiaton and i feel that you have not broken that word. So cheer up and keep loking to the tru Ordo that stay with you. I can only say that i fell that i vould never do sutch a thing as this <.< [17:33] Capn Robonaught raise shis hand again. [17:34] Redemption Islander wants to go last. [17:34] Aryte Vesperia: I appreciate it. Thank you. [17:34] Aryte Vesperia: Anlysia. [17:34] Niiya Narayan raises her hand. [17:34] Anlysia Gregoire: (Pre-typed, hoo.) [17:34] Anlysia Gregoire: Just a comment, but, I just want to say as this is something I've heard before...people saying nobody "knows them", or nobody goes out of their way to speak to them. Well, honestly, there's a huge amount of people in this group and...if you don't make yourself known, if you don't make yourself personable and available and a friend to others...well, so many people come in this group, and say nothing and do nothing, and disappear...we don't really have time to get to know everybody who shows up. If you feel outside of the process, or outside of the "clique", or anything like that...well, that's up to you, to make yourself included. Just...say hi to people, we're all pretty generally nice. Even Aryte, who eats babies. He's only not-nice to the babies. [17:34] Aryte Vesperia: . . [17:35] Lestat Umarov: Hey [17:35] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you, ha ha. [17:35] Anlysia Gregoire: ❤ [17:35] Lestat Umarov: Arytes not a dngo [17:35] Aryte Vesperia: Well said. [17:35] Aryte Vesperia: Keystone. [17:35] Keystone Gray: I believe that it was mentioned somewhere by one of the individuals that there were fifteen members who planned to defect. Is there an investigation looking into the validity of that statement? [17:35] Aryte Vesperia: I believe that was a misunderstanding. [17:35] Aryte Vesperia: There are currently "fifteen members" of UU. [17:35] ShadowFang Blessed raises hand [17:35] Aryte Vesperia: Including non-Ordo. [17:35] Dascede Aluveaux is possibly sending you a message... [17:35] Keystone Gray: I see. Thank you. [17:36] Aryte Vesperia: Good question. Thank you. [17:36] Aryte Vesperia: Capn. [17:36] Euro Zapatero raises his hand. [17:36] Capn Robonaught: Artie, you took ME in, no one can ever say you're cold and unapproachable. You're tolerant and ar emore than fiar, it shows with my enlistment. Thank you. [17:36] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you. [17:36] Aryte Vesperia: Redemption. [17:36] Mizar Korobase raises a hand [17:36] Redemption Islander: Can I go last? :D [17:37] Aryte Vesperia: Yes. [17:37] Aryte Vesperia: Cold one, go ahead. [17:37] Niiya Narayan: I guess i whould probably say that although i can come off as a "Cold Bitch" at times; it's very rarely personal. I'm indefinately acting for the best interest of the group. I'm a very perceptive individual, and i can tell when most people are in "whine till i get my way" mode... put frankly i have no time for it: i'm often wrapped up in many projects, some of which are for The Ordo itself. [17:37] Niiya Narayan: *should [17:37] Niiya Narayan: *should [17:37] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you. [17:38] Aryte Vesperia: Shadow? [17:38] Aeriese Descenna: Thank you Niiya ^.^ [17:39] ShadowFang Blessed: i once approched you and asked what you used in your hair, you said "the blood of the innocent". i still did not find you cold/unaprochable [17:39] ShadowFang Blessed: ❤ [17:39] Aryte Vesperia: . . [17:39] Aryte Vesperia: Haha. [17:39] ShadowFang Blessed: :3 [17:39] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you. Euro? [17:39] Redemption Islander: Haha. [17:39] Hokusai Otsuka was there for that. c.c [17:39] Euro Zapatero: I know this question may already be answered in a indirect way, but will there be any damage if we remain to be friends with one of them, aka not being able to be friends due to what happened. Just making sure for myself knowing how this can go. [17:39] ribena Homewood raises hand. [17:39] Karlhockey Forte: Can I make a comment to that? [17:39] Aryte Vesperia: Not at all, Euro. [17:40] Aryte Vesperia: Karl. [17:40] Vinnie Lei raises hand [17:40] Euro Zapatero: Thank you, I still want to keep my friendship dearly with Silver. [17:40] Aeriese Descenna raises his paw [17:41] Karlhockey Forte: I would hope everyone is perfectly able to seperate friendships from combat groups. Just because someone is hostile in this arena, they can still be within friendship. I had to do the same when I left the AN to come here more than a year ago. I still am friends with most of them. [17:42] Aryte Vesperia: Of course. [17:42] Aryte Vesperia: Mizar. [17:42] Mizar Korobase: I'm really irritated to some extent by this whole event. I lost a few friends. It causes me to look back on times when I wondered 'why didn't things go the way I wanted them to?'. But really, you get what you give. Here and everywhere else. The fact that I should loose comrades over gear issues is rediculous. I would hate to leave; I've been here so long. I've disappeared for a while yes, but never without intention to return. All of you are friends, and irreplacable. Also, Niiya isn't a cold bitch, she's freaking awesome. She takes so many ideas from the community into consideration. [17:43] Mizar Korobase: Jammed all of my ideas into one unstructured paragraph, sorry. [17:43] Lion LittleBoots: lol point got through [17:43] Aeriese Descenna waves his paw in the air :D [17:44] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you, Mizar. [17:44] Aryte Vesperia: Ribena. [17:44] DamionStJames Webb: Please forgive my tardyness [17:44] ribena Homewood: Suuuure, I can be a jerk at times and have a habit of going afk all of a sudden for a beer, but what's great is that . . Aryte still likes me (I THINK D:) and he does the same with all of you, and I believe that it'll remain like that. Why? Ask him a question. He'll reply in a second, busy or not. He invests SO much time in to this group that it's quite unbelievable. And I think that some of us (take the seven who left for example) take it for granted. Aryte has an open door policy, and even if it isn't Ordo related, you can still have a nice chat with him. Just wanted to say that as I found it quite a relevant time. Whenever you have a problem, tell him before you leave, he just may be able to sort it out for you. [17:44] ribena Homewood: Regardless if they all left or not . . I remain friends with all of them, they're all great, but I do agree that what they did was totally wrong. As for Kono, his comment on Niiya sort of shocked me. Niiya probably has no legs because she has been running around for a while now making the base as perfect as possible. For this, I think Niiya. :D [17:44] ribena Homewood: I'd just like to say now, to Aryte and to everyone else. Thank you. You're awesome. All of you are. [17:44] Aryte Vesperia: That was the nicest thing you've ever said about me. [17:45] Aryte Vesperia: Too bad an hour ago you called me fat. [17:45] ribena Homewood: I'm on a roll, sir. [17:45] Aryte Vesperia: (Thank you.) [17:45] ribena Homewood: Hah. [17:45] Aryte Vesperia: Vinnie. [17:45] Crash Silverfall: (( that was me aryte) [17:45] Vinnie Lei: With all the changes I've seen on Titan, the group, it's always been for better of the group. Never I've seen change here that would end up being bad in the long run. I enjoyed being here and will remain doing so. Even now, in the dark godforsaken hours of euroland. [17:45] Capn Robonaught: yes, thank you artie for letting me be in your group. [17:45] Capn Robonaught smiles and nods. [17:46] Lion LittleBoots raises his hand [17:46] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you, Vinnie. [17:46] Aryte Vesperia: Aeriese. [17:47] Capn Robonaught: Nad is always greifing me. [17:47] Aeriese Descenna: I just wanted to take a moment to say that where being friends with former ordo members is concerned, the best way to avoid drama may be to simply put SL militaries out of the conversation. Just talk about other stuff and you should be fine [17:48] Aeriese Descenna: I still talk to a couple former Ordo members and we get along fine [17:48] Hokusai Otsuka: (Like Tater Tots! :D) [17:48] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you. [17:48] Aryte Vesperia: Lion? [17:49] Lion LittleBoots: I came here not to long ago, and in the short time I have bee here, most of you have helped me in one way or anothe,whether that be fitting my armour o my skinny ass, or answering one of my dumb questions..... Alll I realy hav to sa is I could not askfor a better family [17:49] Aryte Vesperia: Haha, thank you. A pleasure to have you with us. [17:49] Aryte Vesperia: Did I miss anyone? [17:49] Lion LittleBoots winks at Shermie lol [17:49] Shermie Eames: raises a hand :> [17:49] Aryte Vesperia: Shermie. [17:49] Tsume Xiao: STOP BEING FURRY >:( [17:49] Shermie Eames: oh hehe [17:50] Shermie Eames: Umm just wanted to say that I might have been afk alot these past 2 weeks [17:50] Shermie Eames: but i was studying and im friendly and not gonna leave :> [17:50] Shermie Eames: that's it. [17:50] Xayvien Rau raises his handpawfootclawtalonforearmscalething. [17:51] Tsume Xiao cuts it off and replaces it with a titanium claw. [17:51] Aryte Vesperia: :) All right. Xayvien? [17:51] Xayvien Rau: I just wanted to add if I haven't somehow managed to drive Aryte crazy with my comments there are few people who would. In regards to Niiya she's not a cold bitch, although I do stand beside her in the summer...On a more serious note: I myself left the Ordo a few times due to drama and have come back, but Aryte was there to listen to the concerns, and actually helped me into the Ordo again. I wasn't malicious or anything just pretty stressed (Snow kitty) out and didn't actually bother talking. I made the same mistake a few people have...But I can also be used as an example that just because you leave the group bridges don't need to be burned. Also, Gunau helped a lot with getting me back with his talk of bean-bag chairs. It's a story for another day, though... [17:51] ShadowFang Blessed raises paw [17:51] Hokusai Otsuka: (Keith's reponce from just listening on ventrilo and watching my screen. "I love Ordo") [17:52] Aryte Vesperia: Hahah. I love you too, Xayvien. Thank you. [17:52] Aryte Vesperia: Shadow? [17:53] ShadowFang Blessed: what will our polociy with the UU be? free to visit if unarmed or? [17:53] Aryte Vesperia: Hostile. [17:53] ShadowFang Blessed: k [17:53] Euro Zapatero raises hand. [17:53] Aryte Vesperia: Declared at the decision of OIc if they want to visit. [17:53] Aryte Vesperia: Euro. [17:53] Crash Silverfall: i think its that civilian [17:54] Euro Zapatero: Nevermind, you said it. [17:54] Aryte Vesperia: Roger! [17:54] Aryte Vesperia: Any last comments? [17:54] DamionStJames Webb raises his hand [17:54] Aryte Vesperia: Damion. [17:55] DamionStJames Webb: I just wanted to say thaat this place has done awesome things for me. For those that knew me at the tart, I was a little abrasive, but thanks to you and the other officers here, I managed to better myself. I've acomplished more here in my opinion than I ever have anywhere else. Nothing was ever handed to me, I always earned it [17:55] Aryte Vesperia: Glad to hear it. T hank you. [17:55] Aryte Vesperia: Capn. [17:55] Capn Robonaught force hugs you. [17:55] Aryte Vesperia: . . [17:55] Aryte Vesperia: Hahaha. [17:55] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you. [17:55] ribena Homewood: D'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw. [17:55] Aryte Vesperia: Dascede. [17:56] Euro Zapatero: Who's watchin'?! [17:56] Aryte Vesperia: Shh. [17:56] Keystone Gray: That's the money that you could have been saving if you wouldn't have blown it on your own sim by staying with Ordo. [17:56] Keystone Gray: Poor fella. [17:56] Keystone Gray: By not staying* [17:56] Keystone Gray: Fffff I butchered that sentence. [17:56] Dascede Aluveaux: I think I speak for more than just myself when I comment that I feel partially responsible for the incident here… it makes me feel as though I did not do my job, for the lack of communication; none of these personnel were officers and were under the command of people like myself. [17:57] Aryte Vesperia: It is not your fault, nor anyone else's fault. [17:57] Aryte Vesperia: It is impossible to solve an issue when it is not voiced. [17:57] Aryte Vesperia: We are not psychic. [17:57] Capn Robonaught: ahem [17:57] Aryte Vesperia: Well. Most of us aren't. [17:57] Zerowinged Vasiliev: Tenaki is. [17:57] Tsume Xiao: I totally said that Des D: [17:57] Aryte Vesperia: There's no need to feel down on yourself. [17:57] Emma Roy coughs [17:57] Lion LittleBoots: woot for precogs [17:57] Aryte Vesperia: So please don't. [17:57] Euro Zapatero: So is the -Money- you could save is Psychic [17:58] Aryte Vesperia: And lastly: Redemption. [17:58] Redemption Islander: I must say, I am probably one of the older members of the group. and I simply laugh at the comments of these fools who left are. They obviously do not know what they are missing out on. I had a time where I was sad, and thought no one liked me, I thought people hated me. I thought my work went on unnoticed. So I went AFK from SL.. I just left. And it was the biggest regret of my time here. I slapped my self for my heretical insolence. As im sure they will do with time. Aryte. You are the kindest, most tolerable person I have met. You are forgiving, and I know these these betrayals hurt each time it happens. I know. But we will endure, as we always have. We love you Aryte, and Aryte loves you all. I love you all too.. I guess.. :P. Just because Aryte eats babies and washes his hair with blood of the innocent, and bathes in the blood of heretics.. doesnt mean he isnt an awesome, understanding, loving individual. Same with you "Cold Bitch". We love you. XD [17:58] Redemption Islander: We love you too Aryte. <3. Now then.. CHEER UP COFFEE FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY!................... BOOBIES. That is all. [17:58] Capn Robonaught: is that Niiya's rank now? I am confused. [17:58] Zerowinged Vasiliev: Summery; HART ARYTE [17:58] Crash Silverfall: HOly [17:58] Keystone Gray: Coffee Tank. [17:58] ribena Homewood: HAAAAAART [17:58] Aryte Vesperia: Aw. . ha ha. [17:58] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you. :) [17:58] Redemption Islander: No problem <3 Meeting Closing [17:59] Aryte Vesperia: And thank you all for coming today. [17:59] ShadowFang Blessed: ❤ [17:59] Aryte Vesperia: I appreciate your time. If you have /any/ questions, message me. I am setting aside the remainder of the evening for conversations. Please pardon me if I am a little aloof-- I've got a line already. Haha. [17:59] Kytec Switchblade: Group hug on Aryte! [17:59] Aryte Vesperia: You're dismissed. Glory to you all. [17:59] Aryte Vesperia clasps his fist to his chest, presenting a salute. [17:59] Aryte Vesperia: And omfg.

As you may know, Documenta, the Ordo newspaper, was started some time ago and has yet to make any progress or publishings. Unfortunately, the chief of the magazine has ... well ... I'll just say that he is not in the Ordo any longer. He has left the group to me in his likely permanent absence. Honestly, I don't have the time or the desire to maintain the group at all. So... If there is anyone in the group or not in the group that is interested and has some experience, you can have the spot. Otherwise, I'm just leaving the group to sit there. I really don't want any more to do with it since he is gone.

I see this as a wakeup call, as the senior NCO I am. As the link between the enlisted I command and the officers that command me, I feel partially as though I have failed my task to communicate. Perhaps it is not my fault directly that they decided to come to nobody... but I wonder if I myself as an NCO do not present the atmosphere and impression of welcome. I am open to questions and answer any that I can, but I cannot answer them if nobody wants to ask. ._. Perhaps I need to be even more open to each new recruit... Learning who some of them are, additionally has me hurt and shocked.

I agree. The Ordo is under constant change; the miniscule details are innumerable, countless, and always increasing. And the reality is in any world, with people that change to the sway and rhythm of life, groups and individuals will always, always strive to change. Stronger, faster, more efficient, more streamlined. Just like war. Like the performing arts. Like sciences, and sports. Always changing, never standing still. I'm sure this gets overwhelming, and sometimes to the point of being unbearable to some. But if the Ordo is really ever standing still, that day would be a very bad day for the Ordo. It would only mean that the life of the organization had suddenly vanished. Fortunately for us, we are capable of not only keeping up, but excelling, striving ahead and leading. That is one of the reasons why I love the Ordo so. Brotherhood... and excellence, as well. For that, I have to give a thanks to every single personnel. We all contribute in some ways that keep that forward motion. As for whether or not these changes in the Ordo are a complete revolution, or positive, I would have to say they certainly are both. They have made noticeable changes, and many of them are positive.

You's welcome. <3
