Aryte

This afternoon, the sentiment was expressed to me by another member of the Ordo Imperialis that I there is a lack of authority provided to members of the organization--spare myself. I do not know if this is something that is shared among multiple individuals, singular, or simply a misunderstanding. I do, however, want to address it immediately. To say that I, Aryte, treat the officer staff as "children" is somewhat . . no, extremely offensive to me. The individual staff of each division is provided a huge amount of oversight in all matters of designing and running their organization. So much that I believe I "strangle" officers at times, by giving them so much capability to determine their own command path without the guidance. There are, however, certain rights that I reserve for myself. The Ordo Imperialis is an autocracy. It always has been, and it always will be. In any matter, I possess the full capability to step in and overrule a decision. Do I exercise this power often? Hardly. Beyond that, I solely reserve the power of ordering (or in the case of an officer requesting it; approving) offensive maneuvers. This is a practice that has largely been fathered by the Ordo Imperialis and adopted by other militaries. Simply, flailing around and assaulting at your wish is something of a half-baked militia. If you wish to have free reign to assault others at your will like a band of terrorists-- go join Vanguard. You are free and always will be free to join another military if you do not enjoy the way I run things. Otherwise, welcome to the Ordo Imperialis.

So, today I was interviewed by an SL Herald reporter . . who is a Spartan. Hm. Anywho! Transcript below. [19:10] Vegna Fouroux: Hello Aryte [19:11] Vegna Fouroux: So exactly where did the idea of Ordo come from (for readers who are not familiar)> [19:13] Vegna Fouroux: Also grammar and spelling and so forth will be edited, also any questions you have an issue with needn't be answered, not an interrogation. [19:13] Aryte Vesperia: I have always had a fond liking for all things Roman. The whole concept of a collective society, imperialism . . it just appeals to me. The Ordo was, in truth, designed at a spur of the moment. The organization that the Ordo succeeded was named the Venuma Coalition, which was tied to the region that it operated out of--Venuma. While I was on vacation one week, the owner of that region turned sour and betrayed us. So, I largely came up with the Ordo while eating cookies on the beach. [19:14] Vegna Fouroux: But you've come a long long way since then, what do you think has been the key to The Ordo's success? [19:17] Aryte Vesperia: There's hardly any single reason. But if I had to choose one, I'd say we've been blessed with a great deal of good fortune-- it's the day to day member that makes us what we are. Hard working, humble, benevolent people. [19:19] Vegna Fouroux: Indeed that is good to hear. A point that has raised some controversy with other groups (and also a topic I discussed with some of your officers earlier) is that you don't allow enemies on base at all to socialise when they are unarmed and put restrictions on your enlisted to go to other enemy bases to catch up with friends, why is this? [19:24] Aryte Vesperia: That's half right. Foremost, we do not disallow that someone visits an enemy base-- that is dependant upon the specific enemy regulations on the matter. However, yes, you are correct on the first part: we do not allow individuals who are members of any enemy faction to visit out of tag and uniform. It is a policy we've followed well over a year now, for several reasons. Security; it's simply much easier to count someone as hostile if they're hostile, rather than "hostile . . sometimes!" [19:25] Aryte Vesperia: Secondly, we run into too many befuddling politics otherwise. As in, allied parties showing up, fights breaking out. That sort of thing. [19:27] Vegna Fouroux: Ah I see, is the Ordo taking part in the STABLE II talks? [19:28] Aryte Vesperia: The Ordo is, yes. [19:28] Vegna Fouroux: And how do you feel they are going? [19:31] Aryte Vesperia: Heh, slowly. It's difficult to achieve middle ground when you've put polar opposites at a table with the orders to "make good and figure this out." For every gain we do manage, we add twenty more questions that need addressing. But, we'll just have to deal with that. [19:32] Vegna Fouroux: And how are your relations with hostile groups as a whole? [19:32] Vegna Fouroux: As good as they can be? or strained? [19:33] Aryte Vesperia: Depends largely on the organization. Heck, in some organizations, it depends upon which enemy officer you ask. [19:34] Aryte Vesperia: Overall . . strained, is a fairly good explanation. [19:34] Vegna Fouroux: But improving? [19:36] Aryte Vesperia: There are hints of such, but I'm not so bold as to say we're making any fantastic strides forward. [19:37] Vegna Fouroux: And are relations with your allies as secure as ever? [19:40] Aryte Vesperia: We're quite blessed to share rather healthy bonds with all of our allied parties, actually. Incidents between members are scarce; problems between command staff are nonexistent. I think we benefit greatly by having the luxury of most our upper echelons being friends of old. For example, Anthony Lehane and Lurdan Huszar of the Merczateers are people I

I appreciate the reminder, guys. I usually don't notice what people call me these days. Ha ha.

He . . hangs out with us? Official duties haven't been determined. Aaaand technically Kitsy is, but she'll appoint someone.

Blade Syakumi is now the Merczateer liasion to the Ordo Imperialis. :D

Name is Aryte. Go figure.

He will be missed. D:

I was going to roll on a PVP RP, but the channel was filled with "noooos!" That, and in my experience, PVP RP seems to be lacking on the people to slaughter.

[1:33] Gunau Sodwind (COM): Rule 34 Vae Victus vs Moley [1:33] Aryte Vesperia (COM): .. Nooooooooooooooooooooooo. [1:33] Gunau Sodwind (COM): YES [1:33] Gunau Sodwind (COM): that'd be so hot [1:33] Aryte Vesperia (COM): Vae Victus is like 1000% its size. [1:33] Joseph Spearmann (COM): It will be Vore porn... the Vae eating the molay as the doors of the hangar act as teeth. [1:33] Gunau Sodwind (COM): i know :) [1:34] Aryte Vesperia (COM): Oh God. Quoted.

Jim and Nanao weren't on to see it.

MEANWHILE, Harlequin is about to get gang raped by the rest of the AN's officers for cooperating with Christoph.

what u say?

D: Keno, nooo.

I'm on Tyranny.

:) Hello. Sent you your group invites.

There have been some overly basic incident reports filed as of late. Not to mention the many threats passed around of "I'll report you!" Foremost, the Ordo Imperialis is very big on personal responsibility and accountability-- if it's something small, don't skip right to reporting them. And never "wave" the threat of reporting under someone's nose. Instead of say . . writing a report and sending it to Curia (mandatory investigation and a waste of their time), simply message the individual and deal with it politely, in private. That's all.

Welcome!

[13:09] Aryte Vesperia: Yes? [13:09] Splinter Batz: I suppose you heard of my Ordo account? [13:10] Aryte Vesperia: Splint Streeter. [13:10] Splinter Batz: Correct. [13:10] Splinter Batz: I want you to know that I was never a spy. [13:10] Splinter Batz: Lies about Ordo cheating are... Pathetic. [13:10] Splinter Batz: And also, I DID enjoy my time served there. [13:11] Splinter Batz: I did it for the experience, nothing else. [13:11] Splinter Batz: Just encase you think I was a spy or something. [13:11] Aryte Vesperia: Ayep. Thanks. Two things: One, Splinter is a Spartan. Two, "heard of my Ordo account," as in several members knew yet didn't care to tell me until I just asked in Vent. Ahem. A general rule of thumb is "tell Aryte, even if you think someone else is going to tell him." The "well, someone else is gonna do it so I can be lazy" tends to encompass even the person you think is going to tell me. Otherwise, amusing.

.. . . Bahhahaha. Oh my God. I thought Keno was a tree before I read his name.

We'll be able to join them all together soon, and created the One Gun.

I will. I think. I am going to try to.

Simple as that . . if you're going to AC, let's hear it. I want to get an idea of who I'll be seeing. :D Gunau is not allowed to post in this thread.
