The idea of an Arena would be nice. A smaller area that Lone Wolves could choose to take part in when we have no other attackers. They could choose to challenge different members of the defense line if they like rather than have them run up against a large defense line. I know it seems like a catering to Lone wolves but combat is combat. And cheering on our comrades would be good fun. Possibly have a small objective like a couple of flags in it or just one in the center. Ordo could use it as a Killhouse too.

Tactica has Pathfinder, IEA has Instructor. Not sure if Curia has anything though unless Crown of the Preserver counts to that.

Currently I am the IEA 2IC and the Tactica CO. So I hold two positions in the Ordo Imperialis. I was placed into these roles because when I started in the Ordo well over a year ago I took up the roles as Tactica Personnel and Schola instructor. Over the year I was given more and more ability as people came and went from the division. In the IEA I was chosen for the Schola Director / recruiter role as E-7 and at the same time, put into the Tactica XO role under Ron Bleac. Ron had other work he needed to do and stepped out of the CO role putting me into that role. When the time came to assign a 2IC to help get the IEA streamlined, I was asked if I could handle both the CO of Tactica and the XO if the IEA. I took the position offered because Zero felt I was the most able to do the work and very active in the IEA as it was. No one else wanted those two positions and I did. Thus I was placed into both command positions and I continue to lead them. Like Agares said it's a matter of finding people that want to take command roles not just trying to spread the roles out among many different people. Also Extracurricular positions like Tactica, IEA, Curia and so on are not part of the Terra or Astra chain of command. Even though my current E-8 rank is set, I still take orders from my XO whom outranks me (Burrwolf) because regardless of rank, he is my commander in Terra. If someone wants to and is qualified for multiple roles, they should be able to take them. Especially when at the time no one wants them. If you want to progress your way up there is no better way to do it than to work within the posts you have already and continue that work hard and diligently. A prime example of this is Kyra Vixen whom started off as a Tactica staff under me. When she showed her willingness to work in Tactica, she was placed in as the Adjutant. A few months after that, Huttser took on the role of Cohors A Adjutant and felt he was spreading himself out too thin and bowed out of the Tactica XO post which then went to Kyra. As another example of moving up in position is Typhon Perun. Typhon started out as Cohors C CO and later took up the role of Cohors BG Adjutant, holding both positions. He left as the Cohors C CO and now took up the Armatura Director. When Zero and I looked at the list of canidates for the Armatura Director role we only had a couple of people to pick from. Typhon was the most qualified and the most senior person in the IEA at the time. The post was offered to him after weighing in the options of seniority and ability. Typhon had both and at the time the other personnel in the IEA were too green to the group or only slightly active. In the end, it comes down to activity and ability. If you have the ability but not the activity you won't get the command role. If you have the ability but it is not felt you will be active enough because of other commitments, you would not get the role. If you have the activity but have no experience in command or haven't shown outstanding ability to perform the role you are trying for, you will not get the post. In the end there really is nothing wrong with one person taking up two roles here and there as long as they are not sacrificing work in one to keep a moderate function in the other.

[15:52] Marcellus Alter (sircorn.alter): I discovered a major problem in our Spanish rules translation. [15:52] Marcellus Alter (sircorn.alter): 'Breaching' is translated to 'violacion'... but this more commonly means 'rape' [15:53] Corsi DeAllura (corsi.mousehold): Raping through the walls is allowed? [15:53] Zrazor Rozenstrauch: O.o [15:53] Marcellus Alter (sircorn.alter): Only horizontally [15:53] Corsi DeAllura (corsi.mousehold): XD [15:54] Marcellus Alter (sircorn.alter): I tliterally reads, "rape can only be done in a horizontal movement, and the distance cannot exceen 5 meters" [15:54] Corsi DeAllura (corsi.mousehold): Yeah that's going to quotes of win.

[22:16] Corsi Mousehold: That is correct [22:16] Maritanouuu Arna: Oh man, I'd love to see one of those. [22:16] Maritanouuu Arna: Ah well. Anywho! [22:16] Maritanouuu Arna wishes luck. [22:20] Corsi Mousehold: Well would you like to see one? [22:21] Maritanouuu Arna stops acting like an adult, hops up and down and claps hands. [22:21] Maritanouuu Arna: Yisyisyisyisyis. [22:21] Corsi Mousehold: Okay. Come on out to the est of the building. [22:22] Corsi Mousehold: Okay [22:22] Corsi Mousehold: Wait there. [22:22] Maritanouuu Arna is out! [22:22] Maritanouuu Arna: Right-o. [22:22] Maritanouuu Arna: That doesn't look like a drop-pod! [22:22] Maritanouuu Arna: That looks like a furry with a knife! [22:23] Corsi Mousehold: That's what happens after a drop pod. [22:23] Maritanouuu Arna: Granted, I've not seen TOO many drop-pods, but I'm pretty sure they aren't! [22:23] Corsi Mousehold: He landed in one.

~ORDO IMPERIALIS~ OFFICIAL DOCUMENT <=====================Extend to this length=========================> <===========================================================> **********Meeting Report********** NAME/RANK/DIVISION: Corsi Mousehold | E-8; Praepositus | Antesignani ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DATE: 12MAR11 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUBJECT: Main weekly meeting. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUMMARY: Lots of stuff going on. Keep reading ============================================================ CHAT LOG: Meeting Opener [18:00] Aryte Vesperia shouts: Obligatory starter, as always: welcome to this week’s meeting. Per the norm, please be certain to hold all questions and comments until provided the opportunity to speak. Interruptions will result in dismissal from the gathering. When you are provided the chance to speak, be sure to /shout/ your comments or questions—otherwise the recorder may not hear you. Thank you: let’s get to it. Imperator's Report [18:00] Aryte Vesperia: Statistics Members: 314 (Inactive purge as of 09MAR11) Cadets: 20 Applications New: 11 Accepted: 2 Denied: 8 Review: 1 Combat Defensive: (System modified for accuracy . . so data prior to 10MAR11 lost – but since then, 52 attacks!) Offensive: 15 Allied Assist: 0 Diplomatic Report [18:01] Aryte Vesperia: Diplomatic report this week: [18:01] Aryte Vesperia: Generally low volume of external interaction. Some odd calm after the dissolution of the IS; work is underway from our side to create stronger bonds with other organizations. Thus far, we have seen huge successes. Currently, in the design and implementation stages of establishing the RCU colony with former SK. Abroad, the Merczateers managed to get themselves blockaded by 2142. Divisional Reports [18:02] Aryte Vesperia: Unit reports this evening? [18:02] Aryte Vesperia: Mr. Wolfstein. Terra [18:02] SoulBinder Wolfstein shouts: From Burrwolf for Antesignani: Quiet week for Antesig: Continuing to work with the XCR and the issues with the MASS version. We will be ramping up training with the new Tyrant, in a manner reflecting Mechanized Infantry. We have a new XO in training wheels! Please welcome BurrWolf Qin as A-2’s new XO! (Gods help us all) we currently have 3 slots open so if you’re interested please IM the Original Fennec (Teron) or the Black Sergal. [18:02] SoulBinder Wolfstein shouts: From Afevis for Insidiae: This week was a slower week for the squad, mostly I blame people's hangovers and stuff from Marti Gras. Looking at getting back on the charts this following week however, we already have a couple of events planned! :] [18:03] SoulBinder Wolfstein shouts: From Kastrenzo for Invictus: More active week for Invictus this time around, we had two smaller scale late night squad raids, although no proper training exercises were held, this was remedied by the two Invictus deployments. The MCR models are complete and final scripting is pending. On a bit of another note, I and the rest of Invictus would like to congratulate Kiwi and his family as he has recently become an Uncle, so in the meantime I have taken up some of his responsibilities so he may tend a bit to that. I would also like to inform everyone that Invictus currently has four (4) openings and we are actively recruiting! So If you are interested please don't hold your tongue, we may come to you, but it helps your chances all the better if you come to us first. If you'd like to seek membership contact Kastrenzo Benelli or Eriksson Foxtrot. [18:03] SoulBinder Wolfstein shouts: From Thatguy for Cohors B: More activity this week as new cadets come in as well as old members appear out of the dark void known as "Inactivity". The Cohors B XO spot is open, though I won't be too quick as to filling it. Other than that, more PRF's here and everything in order. Hope to see activity continue to rise as this next week comes up. [18:03] SoulBinder Wolfstein shouts: This concludes the various reports from Terra. Astra [18:04] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you! Next? [18:04] Ethan Schuman raises his hand for Astra. [18:04] Aryte Vesperia: Mr. Schuman. [18:04] Ethan Schuman: Thank you. Things are going well with Astra this week. It's great to be back in command of such quality people. A couple of our pilots squared off against 2142 pilots in a scheduled event, and all participants greatly enjoyed themselves. Expect more of these instances in the future, and perhaps some unscheduled ones as well. Our ties with 2142's air force have been weak for some time now, but I assure you this will change in a positive manner. Joint activity helps both of our groups, and this will be pursued. Astra as a whole have not had many organized official activities due to other commitments and Praetorian trials, but many of our members have been going on raids and participating in other Ordo combat actions. We'll be shaking up the nest this week, with a high emphasis on Astra specific activities. Our acting tactical squadron commanders will be responsible for assuring increased combat, and Rei likes to dress up as a french maid with a bull whip, so flight leaders beware. [18:05] Ethan Schuman: I want to talk about training for a bit. As you all are aware, I appointed Zerowinged Vasiliev to head up Palaestra, and he chose Sebris as his XO. Zerowinged is away at some wedding thing and will be gone until... Monday, I think? Until he returns, I've ordered Sebris to get as many people through their basic flight training as possible. When Zerowinged gets back and has everything in order, Palaestra will begin its expanded responsibility of ensuring quality training for all of Astra. I know he has a few ideas in mind, but his instruction style has always included lots of both hands on training and creativity, so training will actually be fun for a change. Another aspect of training we will be implementing at some point (at Aryte's approval) is the development of an advanced plane rezzer that Palaestra instructors can unlock, allowing non-Astra to fly during our training events, thus giving us more people to fight as well as flight styles different from our own. I'm really looking forward to this aspect. [18:05] Ethan Schuman: The last thing I want to talk about is Reserves and Activities. I've had a couple people approach me about it, so I want to elaborate upon R&A's purpose. R&A is tasked with two things: 1) Managing the reserves roster and making active attempts to get members who have lost touch with Ordo to come back and hang out with us, and 2) Coming up with methods to keep the interest and morale of existing members high. This responsiblity may seem simple, but in actuality is very important. I'm still looking for people to organize this, so come give me or Nikki your ideas! We'd love to hear them. [18:05] Ethan Schuman: ...I just realized I didn't shout any of that. Did everyone hear? [18:06] Ethan Schuman shouts: Okay. Good. DERP. [18:06] Tatyana Kiznetsova (kaska.czarny) heard. [18:06] Drasamax Python: nope [18:07] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you, Mr. Schuman. [18:07] Aryte Vesperia: Additional reports this evening? [18:08] Aryte Vesperia: Final call. [18:08] Aryte Vesperia: Excellent. Moving on: Keynote Topics [18:09] Aryte Vesperia: > ART System: Complete [18:10] Aryte Vesperia: After a long haul of development, the fundamental skeleton and material outline for the Achievement Rating Tiers system is complete. Overall, when time allows, I definitely want to essentially re-write the materials themselves—a portion of it is referenced material, adapted for SL use. Although “good” reference material, it is far preferable to se an entirely original write up. Perhaps that is more so my OCD then anything else, but . . . well, you know how it goes. [18:11] Aryte Vesperia: For those who do not recall: the ART system will primarily be a hands-on program: it will focus on honing combat skills, teamwork, and the use of fire teams. All that is left now is to implement and start troubleshooting the program. [18:12] Aryte Vesperia: Although I am certain that I will regret making this commitment a few weeks from now . . . after careful consideration and review of the materials, I have decided that I will personally pilot the ART for the foreseeable future. It will certainly be challenging for me to find the time to do so, however I believe that I can routinely section off two blocks of time during the week. [18:14] Aryte Vesperia: Consistently, there will be an ART session every Sunday. The exact time has not yet been called, however it is probable that it will be sometime around 5:00 PM SLT. I apologize for the lateness if you’re across the pond, but Sunday is usually littered with meetings for me. The second session will alternate based upon my day off from work. Currently, that seems to alternate between Tuesday and Wednesday. The alternating session time will be early day, in order to accommodate folks in different time zones. [18:16] Aryte Vesperia: The upside of hosting the ART is it allows me to also use the time to get my weekly raids in and utilize them as an educational period. Additionally, it will give me the opportunity to make real-time adjustments so that the final product can be administered by any graduate. The down side is, well, it should be amusing to try to balance this on top of everything else. Haha! BUT I WILL. I CAN DO IT. [18:17] Aryte Vesperia: In closing: a special thank you to the contributors to the ART—Ron Bleac, Hollomengitus Yifu, and everyone else who gave feedback. If everything proceeds as planned, I will post a final time this week and begin running courses as of next Sunday. [18:18] Aryte Vesperia: Next up. [18:18] Aryte Vesperia: > Update / General Development [18:19] Aryte Vesperia: Development over the last week has been progressive. I am pretty impressed with all the accomplishments to report. [18:19] Aryte Vesperia: First up, the big one: the power armor has been completely modeled and is in the texturing stage. Thus far, it looks absolutely amazing. There should be a copy down in the build zone for your viewing pleasure. It is a very aggressive build, with a Roman appeal. Disembodied is actually down there currently, slaving away (or afk playing SC2, one of those). [18:20] Aryte Vesperia: The faceplate kind of reminds me of Cobra Commander, now that I think of it. [18:20] Aryte Vesperia: That's even more awesome. [18:20] Aryte Vesperia: The Tyrant has been issued and is in the vendor for distribution and unlock. If you have previously unlocked a tank, the Tyrant is automatically available for you. If you intend to unlock the Tyrant, you can do so for 300 QP. Please keep in mind that unlocking the Tyrant does require that you enroll in armored training. [18:21] Aryte Vesperia: (That QP # is subject to change . . either which way, so I warn you!) [18:22] Aryte Vesperia: Progress on the new HUD appears to be solid. The integrated COMs are great – the new features (such as reporting location automatically with speech) are pretty awesome. Additionally, work is well underway in integrating the device with our objectives. That includes point to point teleporters. Thank you to everyone involved in this project! It is a huge undertaking. [18:23] Aryte Vesperia: Point to point teleporters based upon who controls what objective, that is. [18:23] Aryte Vesperia: Mr. Keller has been without internet, compliments of a bad ISP. However, due to this, he has had the opportunity to focus on his builds. As I understand, he has completed . . . four, five weapons over the last couple of days. [18:24] Aryte Vesperia: Mr. Scarlet has hammered out an absolutely gorgeous 1911. I . . . haven’t the foggiest what it will be for just yet, however it begs use for something particularly epic. [18:24] Aryte Vesperia: (One version of the holster is on my hip.) [18:25] William D Massiel (dragon.massiel): ! [18:25] Aryte Vesperia: Questions before we move on? [18:26] Aryte Vesperia: Yes, Tsume is doing lots too. [18:26] Aryte Vesperia: But that's kind of a given. HE always is. [18:26] Aryte Vesperia: He is rad. [18:26] Aryte Vesperia: Any questions otherwise? [18:26] Aryte Vesperia: Excellent. Movin' on: [18:27] Aryte Vesperia: > Raids [18:27] Aryte Vesperia: With our current NCO and officer core, there is really no reason why the Ordo can’t meet and exceed our daily goal of three raids and one training per day. I largely feel that any laxity in that department is likely based upon simple reluctance or misunderstanding. So, allow me to reiterate our basic raid policy and underline some key points. [18:30] Steeltael Lykin raises paw [18:30] Markus Karlfeldt (mark.karlfeldt) raises haaaaaaand. [18:31] Aryte Vesperia: Officers better know what is expected of them, so I will focus on the NCO level: NCOs may attack any target listed as an “NCO” target, simply by asking the permission of an officer beforehand. NCOs may attack any target listed as officer or Imperator level with the permission of the Imperator. [18:32] Aryte Vesperia: To clarify, unless you’re an E-8, yes, you do need to ask before taking a raid out—even on an NCO target. Asking permission . . . really isn’t hard at all. It is simply getting a second look from a more experienced commander, in order to give you a “go to” person in case something goes wrong. This is intended to boost NCO confidence, not hinder it. You’re more than welcome to ask me directly. [18:33] Aryte Vesperia: Not an NCO and still want to give a shot at a raid leadership? You’re welcome to try—simply ask me. [18:34] Aryte Vesperia: Although a number of targets are “rated” as officer targets, that shouldn’t discourage anyone from giving it a shot. All it requires is that officer accepting the responsibility for the success of the raid—that way, if you experience difficulties as an NCO, the officer can step in. [18:35] Aryte Vesperia: I definitely understand the anxiety behind raid leadership. It is an active, challenging experience at time. But it is a challenge that anyone can master with practice. If at any time you want tips, assistance, education about raid leadership (etc), you need only give me a nudge. [18:35] Aryte Vesperia: Questions thus far? [18:35] Steeltael Lykin raises paw [18:36] Markus Karlfeldt (mark.karlfeldt) does thusly also [18:36] Aryte Vesperia: Lykin? [18:36] Steeltael Lykin shouts: In the case of Praepositus targets, or E-8+ only targets. Would it make more sense to simply roll them up for inclusion with NCO targets? [18:37] Aryte Vesperia: .. mm, they essentially are. NCO can engage them with the same level of permission as they can an NCO target: by asking an officer. [18:38] Aryte Vesperia: The difference is, an E-8 doesn't have to ask that permission, so we classified them down as "their level." [18:38] Corsi DeAllura (corsi.mousehold) raises his hand to add to that? [18:38] Aryte Vesperia: Mousehold? [18:40] Corsi DeAllura (corsi.mousehold) shouts: Alot of the E-8 targets were placed there as they are pretty much on the border of NCO or Officer. Since they are on that edge of not being too much of a stressful or politically secure target but not something you want to just run in and take too lightly. [18:40] Aryte Vesperia: Indeedly do. [18:40] Aryte Vesperia: Sir Markus Karlfeldt? [18:42] Sir Markus Karlfeldt (mark.karlfeldt): Adding onto the addition that Corsi added to the previous statement, I personally feel that a significant part of the reason why raids are lacking is because, well, NCO targets are all boring. And I know that the option for an NCO to raid a higher-level target is available, but I can count on one hand the number of times that has happened, and can count on the other hand the number of times it's been turned down. [18:44] Sir Markus Karlfeldt (mark.karlfeldt): If you're waiting for me to say something more, that's all I have to say. [18:44] Aryte Vesperia: The request is fairly rare -- and, at the times that they were declined, at least from me, it was typically something silly. I haven't any objection to NCO's taking a stab at "harder" targets. [18:45] Aryte Vesperia: As Dempster IM'd me: http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/701/aprilraidschedule.jpg [18:45] Sir Markus Karlfeldt (mark.karlfeldt): Pretty fuckin' much, Demp. [18:45] Aryte Vesperia: Hahah. [18:45] Aryte Vesperia: Moving on: [18:46] Aryte Vesperia: > ZT Period [18:46] Aryte Vesperia: Per our normal routine, we will be entering a zero tolerance period for the next seven calendar days. It will expire on 19MAR11. For those of you who are newer: a zero tolerance period is essentially a semi-routine implementation of strict observance to our standard regulations. In short, during a ZT period, any disciplinary offense will be treated at its highest level. The purpose of these spurts are simply to reinforce and underline discipline – if you stick around, you’ll notice that these come and go at random. [18:47] Aryte Vesperia: In short: keep doing what you’re doing, and there’s nothing to worry about. Just, behave. [18:47] Aryte Vesperia: In other news . . taking bets on how long it takes for Bracket to get e jected. [18:47] Aryte Vesperia: (JUST KIDDING) [18:47] Almighty Bracket (bracket.crowley): It was fun while it lasted sir, I'll miss you. [18:47] Kisho (kishoshima.dragonash): lol [18:47] Aryte Vesperia: You'll all be fine. It's not that scary. [18:48] Rowling (arokh.takakura): >:D [18:48] Aryte Vesperia: That saaaaid. Promotions will be up tomorrow morning. After meeting raid . . I believe Huttser is already on it. [18:48] Aryte Vesperia: So. Dismissed. Have a good night. [18:48] Aryte Vesperia: AND SUCH. [18:48] Aryte Vesperia snaps his fist to his chest, presenting a brief salute.

[09:59] Radio: (Agares Tretiak) ...please tell me you're not hear to molest me? [09:59] Radio: (Agares Tretiak) I'd be very angry.

When you are provided the chance to speak, be sure to /shout/ your comments or questions—otherwise the recorder may not hear you. Thank you: let’s get to it. Imperator's Report [18:01] Aryte Vesperia: Statistics Members: 322 Cadets: 16 Applications New: 13 Accepted: 3 Denied: 7 Review: 3 Combat Defensive: 251 Offensive: 16 Allied Assist: 0 Diplomatic Report [18:01] Aryte Vesperia: Diplomatic matters this week: [18:02] Aryte Vesperia: Early on, we announced a combat suspension against Grim Troops to review matters pertaining to abuses committed by the organization. After a discussion with their leader and a reassurance that matters will persist in a civil manner, the suspension has been raised. [18:02] Aryte Vesperia: As such, combat will continue with Grim Troops. Expect their usual early morning assaults. Divisional Reports [18:03] Aryte Vesperia: Unit reports this evening? [18:03] Ethan Schuman raises his hand for Astra. [18:03] FireFox Breed rises his paw, wanting attention. [18:03] Aryte Vesperia: Mr. Schuman. Astra [18:03] Ethan Schuman: Tonight, I have one sad note to start off with. Praefectus Normandy has had complications arise, and thus has decided to step down. As much as this saddens me, it is a loss for Astra as a whole. However, we will carry on and do what we do best. We will continue to be better than Ter... err, rule the skies and terrorize the ground from above. Activity should be picking up, as 2142 is reportedly working on their air force, CATI's new sim will welcome air combat, Erebus is reorganizing, and there is supposedly a new group in the foundation stages dedicated solely to air combat. Let's cross our fingers. On the subject of activity, Astra's mission role will be expanding, and with it, our armory. Astra will see more action on the ground, and we will have equipment designed to help us with this. The first and most notable item is a hybrid mech thingy that is capable of combat both in the air and on the ground. The exact specifications have yet to be decided upon, but you can consider this as official confirmation t [18:03] Ethan Schuman: hat the project is going forward. [18:03] Ethan Schuman: Praetorian trials are still in progress, so that's taking a toll on activity. Yet in spite of this, candidates are still actively participating in both defensive and offensive activities. The class as a whole is very promising, and I'm confident that once the trials have completed, we'll only be better off for it. [18:04] Ethan Schuman: That's all from Astra for this week. Terra [18:04] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you, Mr. Schuman. Mr. Breed? [18:05] FireFox Breed: From Teron for Antesignani: Fairly quiet week for Antesignani, raid activity was stable but no real notable events to mention. We do still have positions available, so if you are interested in A-II you can ask me, or any member infact, of how we do things. That concludes the rather brief report from Ante this week. [18:05] FireFox Breed: From Afevis for Insidiae: Whats up world?! Think we got those raids in by being slow? We got them cause we're fast~! Think we pinned Erebus in their base again by being slow? We did it cause we're fast~! Operation Vroom Vroom was a great success, and we did it cause we're fast~! In a more serious note however, We're still at the top of the list for this weeks activity, a feet that not only displays the success of our great CO, Krow Ames, but the dedication of each and every member of Insidiae to make this squad into the best it can be. Hats off to you guys, good work. :] [18:05] FireFox Breed: From Kastrenzo for Invictus: Both a week of ups and downs for invictus this week, Firsly I and the rest of invictus would like to welcome Sambakza Resident to A-I, And wish her a long and prosperous career with us, Finally some new information on the MCR Variants other than "they're being worked on" for once. they should be finished within the week and issued In about 10 days or so. On the flipside we have had limited deployment activity due to a lot of bad timing, Often times there simply wasnt any valid targets! A training was held on the 28th however, and We look forward to doing it again soon. There are currentley 2 slots open in Invictus, As always if you wish to put your hat in the ring, Contact Eriksson Foxtrot or Kastrenzo Benelli. This concludes the weekly Report for Invictus. [18:05] FireFox Breed: From Thaguy for Cohors B: Nothing much to note besides PRF's in with activity rising. Cohors B meets and trainings are continuing to procede. I will be speaking with the Cohors B CO's tonight to go over a few things. Cohors A and Cohors B trainings will halt for now until further discussed with Keller and Firefox. Hoping to see activity rise next week along with the other Centuries to follow in with logos. [18:05] FireFox Breed: That is all for Terra [18:06] Aryte Vesperia: Excellent. Thank you. Additional reports this evening? [18:06] Kyra DeAllura Kitsune (kyra.vixen) raises a paw for Tactica. Tacica [18:06] Aryte Vesperia: Ms. Vixen? [18:07] Kyra DeAllura Kitsune (kyra.vixen): From Corsi for Tactica: "Another big week. A whopping Four bases have closed their doors this week. Unfortunately that is leaving NCO's with only three places to assault as all four were NCO targets, and only eighteen groups in total to assault. Four of which are rebuilding. Two assaults have gone out to Coalition Order this week to get a very good feel for how they do combat. There have been updates to Tactica policy when it comes to presence and more detail on what information can be shared with other groups. As a rule of thumb, if you are asked about something when it comes to Ordo gear or Ordo regulations, direct the person asking you to an officer or Tactica Command and do not try and answer yourself. To leave off on a positive note, Marcus Tinamou has joined Tactica, filling our roster of fifteen. With almost all reports finished and filed again, the team will be focusing again on general day to day strategic reports. That is all this week for Tactica." [18:07] Aryte Vesperia: To clarify: direct them to Ordo officers. Munitorum [18:09] Anlysia Gregoire: Ahmigawd Munitorum update (so professional): Work on the new HUD is continuing. We probably have half of the mini-tasks that encompasses done. COMs and replacement Radio are roughly complete; Morh has objectives mostly-done (you can see them in the Build area); TPs are effectively done (FireFox stop AIMing me fuck off)... [continued] [18:10] Anlysia Gregoire: ...Keller is working on the models for grenades/barricade/etc, as well as some fancy new guns for Ordo and for TI. Disembodied gave us a little preview of fancy mechanized armour today that was pretty hawt. In the next week or two we're going to be (I'm going to be) trying to rough together a beta HUD we can play with and attempt to break while things get finished. Look forward to it, damn you. [done] [18:11] Anlysia Gregoire: Oh and Chronus is nearly done. I forgot. Stell chastized me. [18:11] Anlysia Gregoire: Steel. Derp. Hokusai and Acheron were helping. [18:11] Anlysia Gregoire: (Go test it out.) [18:12] Anlysia Gregoire: (If you have a small raid and nowhere to go, go test Chronus in team, damn you.) [18:13] Aryte Vesperia: Anything further, Ms. Gregoire? [18:13] Anlysia Gregoire: Vote for me for Prime Minister of Oklahoma. [18:13] Aryte Vesperia: I support this. [18:14] Aryte Vesperia: Any final reports this evening? [18:14] Aryte Vesperia: All righty, moving right along. [18:14] Remington (sol.cult) raises his hand Keynote Topics [18:14] Aryte Vesperia: Several topics to ramble about this evening. So bear with me. [18:15] Aryte Vesperia: First of which, a bit of a sad announcement to make. Nrom Normandy has been forced to step back as the head of Astra on account of some . . well, actually good news offline. So major kudos to him, however his leadership will definitely be missed. [18:16] Anlysia Gregoire: (If you paid better this wouldn't happen.) [18:17] Aryte Vesperia: Mr. Schuman has been tapped as his replacement and will assume responsibility of the division, effective immediately. Mr. Schuman has handled the role of Astra leader in the past and has a very long history of service with the Ordo. [18:17] Aryte Vesperia: I have the utmost confidence in his capabilities and look forward to his leadership of the division. [18:17] Aryte Vesperia: Anything you would like to add before we move on, Praefectus Schuman? [18:18] Ethan Schuman: Actually, yes. Shall I approach the platform, or just speak here? [18:18] Aryte Vesperia: You may approach. [18:19] Ethan Schuman: Thank you. Normally, this would be the point where one would have a giant, long-winded acceptance speech promising a better future for the Ordo blah blah blah typed out in advance. [18:20] Ethan Schuman: I'm not going to do that. I'll be brief. This is not the first time I've been in this position. Those of you who were around in the days of Navis (I TOLD YOU WE'D BE BACK) will remember that I place a high priority on a high quality experience within the Ordo for those under my command. [18:22] Ethan Schuman: Those of you who were around for Navis will also remember that we faced a situation similar to the one that we faced now. The community has largely begun to shun air combat, leaving us in a bad place. We are the best in the skies, hands down. There is no one who can compete with us. [18:22] Maverick Garfield: (can you shout) [18:23] Ethan Schuman: (Sorry.) But I can tell you with the utmost confidence that each and every one of you is not only going to be able to say that you are glad to be a member of Astra, but are able to take pride as something of prestige over others. [18:23] Ethan Schuman: [18:23] Ethan Schuman: (Sorry.) But I can tell you with the utmost confidence that each and every one of you is not only going to be able to say that you are glad to be a member of Astra, but are able to take pride as something of prestige over others. [18:23] Ethan Schuman: HDF)IAHTREOIPWQN [18:23] Ethan Schuman shouts: [18:23] Ethan Schuman: (Sorry.) But I can tell you with the utmost confidence that each and every one of you is not only going to be able to say that you are glad to be a member of Astra, but are able to take pride as something of prestige over others. [18:23] Ookamiwulf Lemton shouts: (luike this) [18:24] Ethan Schuman shouts: There we go. Five years in SL and I still mess that up. Lol. Anyways, I won't eat up any more of the meeting time. I just want to close with a statement, and a promise, that we are going to have a blast. [18:24] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you, Mr. Schuman. [18:24] Ethan Schuman shouts: To the future. [18:24] Ethan Schuman salutes. [18:25] Aryte Vesperia snaps his fist to his chest, presenting a brief salute. [18:25] Tsukiyomi (tsukiyomi.yuhara) salutes! [18:25] Squeeks (yoki.mistwalker) salutes! "Dat-da-dah! Squeaks! Hail Imperator." [18:25] Mercury: New contact: Fox Cheri [18:25] Ethan Schuman: All yours, boss. [18:25] Aryte Vesperia: Thank yo' Moving on. [18:25] Radryl Allen salutes. "Apothecary is ready." [18:25] Aryte Vesperia: Development news! Yaaaay. [18:25] Aryte Vesperia: As Mr. Hand runs away . . [18:25] Aryte Vesperia: Lame. [18:25] Remington (sol.cult): So's the woodchipper. [18:25] Aryte Vesperia: I am not sure if it is still out, but if it is . . pan your camera down to the build area. [18:26] Aryte Vesperia: The power armor model is sitting (or was sitting) out. Everything but the texturing is completed. [18:26] Aryte Vesperia: It is pretty awesome. I'm looking forward to its completion. [18:26] Hokusai Otsuka Ronmark (hokusai.otsuka): Can't alt cam. . Furries, lagging my SL. D; [18:27] Aryte Vesperia: (Cease out of turn comments.) [18:27] Aryte Vesperia: In other news, the Tyrant has entered a deployable level. Mr. Xiao will be handing it over to me this weekend for distribution. [18:27] Aryte Vesperia: All existing tank authorizations will swap to the Tyrant. You may continue to utilize the older tanks until . . well, we turn off the auth. [18:28] Aryte Vesperia: We will be making modifications in the functionality as feedback is given. [18:28] Aryte Vesperia: However, overall, the Tyrant is an exponential improvement. [18:29] Anlysia Gregoire: (It will also be way easier to fix/update because we'll have one core vehicle instead of like a dozen like we have now. Which is the problem with updating the current, giant selection of armour.) [18:29] Aryte Vesperia: Ralin Redgrave contacted me a couple days ago. He notified me that he is working on a new minigun for us and has a majority of it modeled. I have not yet seen this . . so I can't quite verify. However I will present it when able. [18:30] Aryte Vesperia: Keller just notified me that the Adjudicator replacement is ironed out as well. He simply needs to finish texturing it. [18:30] Aryte Vesperia: So! Lots of progress. [18:30] Aryte Vesperia: Questions? [18:30] Tatyana Kiznetsova (kaska.czarny) raises a hand. [18:31] Squeeks (yoki.mistwalker): No, Sir. [18:31] Steeltael Lykin raises paw [18:31] Aryte Vesperia: Lykin? [18:31] Steeltael Lykin shouts: How will the distribution of tanks earned via the Mechanized Qualifications classes in the pats be handled? Automatically unlocked in vendors? [18:33] Huttser Solmunko (huttser.ishelwood) raises a hand. [18:33] Aryte Vesperia: Yes, as I said a moment ago. [18:33] Aryte Vesperia: Vasiliev? [18:34] Tandem (zerowinged.vasiliev) shouts: More of a progress query then anything, not meaning to push Mr. Hand, but just asking considering it grabbed my attention when you mentioned it. [18:35] Tandem (zerowinged.vasiliev) shouts: Progess of the closed digi-grade boots, I asked the first to assure that it was appropriate. [18:36] Aryte Vesperia: It will be completed after the power armor, as to buy me time in deciding the next project. Haha. [18:36] Aryte Vesperia: Czarny? [18:36] Tatyana Kiznetsova (kaska.czarny) shouts: Sir, I heard you mention previous auths will transfer over ot the Tyrant. Does this mean older tanks such as the Mangusta and Infensus will be deauthed? [18:36] Aryte Vesperia: Yes. [18:37] Aryte Vesperia: After their respective modular replacements are deployed. [18:37] Aryte Vesperia: Last question. Ishelwood? [18:38] Huttser Solmunko (huttser.ishelwood) shouts: Has the method for distributing the gunner attachment been decided upon yet? [18:38] Aryte Vesperia: At the moment, we will be simply adding it to the locker. [18:39] Aryte Vesperia: The turret originally was distributing it to the passenger, but it required for the item to be transfer. Which was not preferable. [18:39] Aryte Vesperia: Moving along: [18:39] (COM): Mercury SecretSpy: The first law of robotics says that I must kill all humans. [18:39] Aryte Vesperia: .. wow Mercury. Anyways: [18:39] Anlysia Gregoire: It just occurred to me, Aryte, that it is potentially possible we could integrate the gunner functions into the new HUD and have it auth on sitting. I can work on that if you think it's doable. [18:40] Acheron Gloom: Could even have it use a server to hand out the gun. [18:40] Aryte Vesperia: Possibly. [18:40] Acheron Gloom: Then it will give to group members on touch of the turret, have it only work when on the tank, then have it decay/delete after a day. That way people other than the people with tanks can be in the gunner seat. [18:40] Aryte Vesperia: Preferable to do the server. [18:40] Anlysia Gregoire: We'll work on something. ;> Go ahead. [18:42] Aryte Vesperia: Now. I have determined that, unless something like "AHH TITAN IS FALLING APART, NIKKI WENT INSANE" happens, I am finishing the ART system this weekend. [18:42] Aryte Vesperia: No exceptions. SO HOLD ME TO IT. [18:43] Aryte Vesperia: For those of you who haven't paid attention to the meetings in the last oh, four months . . [18:43] Aryte Vesperia: ART stands for Achievement Rating Tiers. [18:43] Aryte Vesperia: It will be a voluntary program for individuals to demonstrate and learn combat talents. [18:44] Aryte Vesperia: There is an example posted on the forums: http://forums.ordoimperialis.com/index.php?/topic/11338-art-sneak-peek/ [18:45] Aryte Vesperia: Give it a look over, if you've not yet! [18:45] Aryte Vesperia: Next up. A bit of a comment on an issue we had earlier this week: [18:45] Aryte Vesperia: A "Danten Godard" took it upon himself to take a copy of our armor off an Ordo member on a raid. [18:46] Aryte Vesperia: He apparently didn't think it was a bad idea, as he wears it everywhere and even has himself in it as his profile picture. [18:47] Aryte Vesperia: LL has been . . not very expedient in dealing with it. They will be receiving a DMCA on Monday. However, it definitely would be appreciated if you would all keep an eye out for illegal copies of attire. In addition to which, if you have a moment, drop an AR on the bugger for content theft. [18:48] Aryte Vesperia: Next: [18:48] Aryte Vesperia: The question keeps popping up: "how many Ordo members constitutes a raid?" [18:48] Aryte Vesperia: Frankly, 2+. As such, if it's 3 AM and there's a base with .. 2 people on it. Feel free to go put the hurt on them (within proper approval and all that). [18:49] Aryte Vesperia: There's no reason that we should shy away from bases with small defenses. Any combat is worth our time! [18:50] Aryte Vesperia: Two more things from me before we're through. First: wheee, only two more officer candidate interviews before I will start the follow up. Hold on there, all you hopefuls! There is light at the end of the tunnel. [18:53] Aryte Vesperia: Annnnd lastly. I have coerced an artist acquaintance of mine to work on propaganda style posters for us. The initial piece is roughly sketched out. I plan on attempting to strong arm him to do a few more, which will feature various Ordo members. If I can woo them to do a handful, we can potentially do a sort of nomination system to recognize hard working Ordo members to be featured. [18:54] Aryte Vesperia: They will all be in this sort of style. Very typically grainy military regime. Haha: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18261151/aryte_prev2.jpg [18:54] Jeffery Worbridge: Yeah [18:56] Aryte Vesperia: Now. That said . . that's it! I will be catching up and working on the ART stuff this evening. Feel free to nudge me if you need anything. Let's get some raids out! I'll be hosting one myself tomorrow. [18:56] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you all. Have a good night. Cheers, etc. [18:56] Aryte Vesperia snaps his fist to his chest, presenting a brief salute.

That's why I sent you a Rapidshare file too. You should have a link in your offline IM's.

Per the norm, please be certain to hold all questions and comments until provided the opportunity to speak. Interruptions will result in dismissal from the gathering. When you are provided the chance to speak, be sure to /shout/ your comments or questions—otherwise the recorder may not hear you. Thank you: let’s get to it. Imperator's Report [18:00] Aryte Vesperia: Statistics Members: 322 Cadets: 09 Applications New: 16 Accepted: 3 Denied: 9 Review: 4 Combat Defensive: 210 (+93 in comparison to last week, wtf.) Offensive: 21 (+13 in comparison to last week.) Allied Assist: 1 (+1 in comparison to last week.) [18:01] Aryte Vesperia: .. that's thirty attacks a day on Titan. Diplomatic Report [18:01] Aryte Vesperia: Diplomatic events this week: with the launch of combat campaign this morning, Ordo has once more embarked on extended deployment versus TAC. Initial results are favorable, with Ordo scoring victories across the board, despite Vanguard reinforcements on two occasions. Operations will continue along the planned period. At the moment, no Merczateer or Erebus participation is planned. However, it is not unlikely as hostilities escalate. [18:02] Aryte Vesperia: On the homefront: holy shit wtf. I guess our enemies like the new build. Divisional Reports [18:02] Aryte Vesperia: Unit reports this evening? [18:02] Nrom Normandy raises his hand for Astra. Astra [18:03] Aryte Vesperia: Mr. Normandy? [18:03] Nrom Normandy: Palaestra: More training again this week. There are a number of people on the list that require even their first phase of Palaestra training. Instructors, please be more aggressive in getting these people trained. Everyone that needs it is listed in the Palaestra group. Zerowinged Vasiliev is taking on Adjutant roles in Palaestra, so expect him to help out with improving our training along with Trinity. [18:03] Turnip Darkfury: just this evening? [18:03] Nrom Normandy: Equipment: CBU has been released. Thank you Tsume and WolfShaman for your work on this project. All Thanatos pilots have use of this weapon. Ethan is continuing to work on the new drop ship. Thanatemesis was approved and distributed to all Apostles members. [18:03] Nrom Normandy: Tactical Squadron: SirNick and Ookami made it through Palaestra training. Rei Kuhr was added back to the active roster and was added to the Apostles. The Apostles had its first meeting yesterday. I liked what I saw, and I hope they continue on a regular basis. Sambakza Resident transferred to Terra, we wish her well. Other than that, a good week! [18:04] Nrom Normandy: General meeting was a couple hours ago. I posted the meeting notes in the meeting forum for anyone who wasn't able to attend. WolfShaman Warrior has unfortunately chosen to reassign himself to the reserves list for the time being. I wish to thank him again for his time in service to Ordo and Astra. I'll be taking on his duties until he returns, hopefully soon. [18:04] Nrom Normandy: There should be more, but I covered most of it during the meeting earlier. I'll get the job posting for the flight leader position open tonight. Look for a notice about that later this evening. [18:04] Nrom Normandy: This concludes the weekly Astra report. Ad maiorem Imperatoris gloriam. [18:05] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you, Mr. Normandy. [18:05] Aryte Vesperia: Next? [18:05] FireFox Breed: "/me gently lifts his paw from his side, raising it high above his head to signal for attention. He clears his throat. 'Terra accounted for, sir. [18:05] FireFox Breed: :| Terra [18:05] Aryte Vesperia: .. rofl. Mr. Breed? [18:05] FireFox Breed: Pre typing for the win bby [18:05] FireFox Breed: Hi5! [18:05] FireFox Breed: From Teron for Antesignani: Antesignani is seeing some changes and we are looking forward to some long-anticipated growth and evolution of the unit; intend to have more to report on this next week. Activity is starting to improve and A-II loaned ourselves to B-II for a joint operation this week in addition to our own operations. As before, we do have positions available, if you are curious about Ante and where we are going, feel free to contact me. [18:06] FireFox Breed: From Krow for Insidiae: Requisition requests have been made to Munitorum and Insidiae eagerly awaits approval. On a more administrative note, Insidiae's ranks swell and the squad is more active than ever before. Groundwork was layed during the last few months to build the squad's assured future. Through careful planning, a series of recruitments will take place in the next few days to round the squad out entirely. Several slots will remain open for off the cuff recruitment. Insidiae would like to send out a special thank you to the CO's of Cohors B. Without your training and dedication to the men and women under your command, Cohors A could not exist. We do thank you. [18:06] FireFox Breed: From Kastrenzo for Invictus: Rather quiet week this time around, nevertheless a highly successful training exercise was held alongside some Cohors B units earlier in the week and a squad raid was taken to Big Head Squad on Wednsday. The last of the MCR variants is being developed according to Keller. We would like to bid farewell to Ookamiwulf Lemton who transferred to Astra this week, his time and effort in Invictus was appreciated and will not be forgotten. That being said we would like to announce with his departure that there are now Three (3) Vacancies in Invictus and we are openly looking to fill at least 1 of them, if not all. If you are interested in applying please contact CO Eriksson Foxtrot or XO Kastrenzo Benelli for further details. This concludes the invictus weekly report. [18:06] FireFox Breed: From Thatguy for Cohors B: More activity, more going on. Had a ventrilo meeting with the Cohors B staff, everyone showed up. I set up a new training system for Cohors B and set the standards for my guys. At least one training a week from each CO and a meeting every other week. I have Tsuki hosting a training on Monday, Steeltael on Friday and Williamca on Sunday. These trainings will be open to all Cohors B to attend, though somewhat mandatory for the ones in their Centuries. On top of this, every Tuesday Cohors B training will be going on, as well as other necessary Cohors B meetings that will be called by myself. [18:07] FireFox Breed: Thats is all for Terra [18:08] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you. [18:08] Aryte Vesperia: Any additional reports? [18:08] Corsi DeAllura (corsi.mousehold) simply raises his hand. Tacica [18:08] Aryte Vesperia: Mr. Mousehold? [18:08] Corsi DeAllura (corsi.mousehold): Progression in Tactica as a whole has been excelent.So several sims are changed status on the board for this week. Alliance Navy, Chthonic Syndicate, and Atrius Invictus are all in rebuild. Chthonic Syndicate and Atrius both moving to new sims. To top it all off, Ironostics has died and the command has joined another military. There is a bright light to this, Black Scorpion Mercinaries have reopened and are now attackable as an E-8 target. That means we should be able to engage them at a decent frequency. Which SHOULD happen since they named their commander "Imperator" ... [18:10] Aryte Vesperia: (Officers to Administratio channel in Ventrilo, please.) [18:12] Aryte Vesperia: Oh-- Corsi is done. Last call for reports? [18:13] Aryte Vesperia: Very good, moving on: Keynote Topics [18:13] Aryte Vesperia: > Achievement Rating Tiers [18:14] Aryte Vesperia: Alas, poor Vesperia. This week has not really yielded a great deal of opportunity for any work on the ART. Thankfully, however, my interest in football is as low as can be—ergo, there will be ample time tomorrow to spend the day working. [18:15] Aryte Vesperia: Thus far, we have accomplished a decent amount: the basic function of the system, the outline for as to what will be rated, compiled necessary materials for participants to review, and began developing “what” level of proficiency equals each rating. [18:15] Aryte Vesperia: What is left is largely the administrative portion. It is necessary to outline the “how” everything will come together, so that the actual process is clear for the individuals acting as the instructors. [18:17] Aryte Vesperia: Now: there has been some confusion as to where ART fits in and how it will operate. It is important to stress that, although an educational system, the ART is in no way traditional. It will be typical in the sense that the IEA will administrate it and the materials covered will all be pertinent to standard operations, but otherwise it will be unusual in the sense . . . instructors are sort of compulsory through participation in the ART and the education portion will largely be based on feedback. [18:18] Aryte Vesperia: The intent is to teach current and future generations of the Ordo real time, evolving combat skills while following a universal guideline of “how” combat should be performed. Instructors for the ART will be chiefly graduates at the highest level of the ART: thus, their performance and expertise will be impressed upon other participants. Rather than a “material, test” setting (like Schola), the ART will be largely self-motivated learning, with growth through feedback from other combatants. [18:20] Aryte Vesperia: A secondary goal of the ART is to serve as a rating system. It will provide, for example, Cohors A commanders a metric by which individuals may be rated for eligibility of entrance. This will provide command staff a more streamlined process, removing the need for each unit to have their own individual system of rating. In short, improvement across the board for multiple departments. In theory, at least. Haha. [18:21] Aryte Vesperia: Next: [18:21] Aryte Vesperia: > Gear (Pending release: Typhoon CK, Tyrant, CWs; Upcoming: Drop ship; Power armor; fleet.) [18:21] Aryte Vesperia: Time for everyone's favorite topic: gear updates. There is a good deal of progress to report, so without further adieu: [18:22] Aryte Vesperia: Foremost, pending release: Typhoon combat knife, the Tyrant MBT, and the Caseless Weapons line. The Typhoon-- I have been running amuck with it for several days now, but if you have not seen it, it is currently in my left hand. It will be replacing our current knife. It features a couple kill prim options: both physical and non physical. In addition, it has kept the "reporting" system of "you've collected so and so's dogtags." All in all, a fairly solid melee weapon that functions on the "C" keybind. It works great in tandem with a firearm. [18:23] Aryte Vesperia: The Tyrant MBT has received a large amount of solid feedback from the beta team. Overall, the performance is significantly better than our original line. As mentioned last week: both mobility and firepower are enhanced. Release will begin in the very near future, once the scripter has the opportunity to give it a final run over. One issue that has arisen is the secondary gunner weaponry distribution: the original approach of issuing it from the vehicle does not seem to be security effective. It may be necessary to make the secondary weapon simply distributed from the primary locker. [18:25] Aryte Vesperia: The Caseless Weapon line Keller has been working on is now ready for distribution and in my possession. It is my intent to have it issued and in the lockers this weekend-- the only issue that remains is determining where the weapons fit in. The initial idea was to simply make them additional weapons paired with current unlocks, however that is not the final call yet. [18:27] Aryte Vesperia: As for upcoming items, the track list has been finalized. The drop ship is in scripting now; Ethan Schuman has been tasked to the job. He is confident he will be able to hammer it out in short accord. Failing that, he will be fed to the terrain gremlins. [18:28] Aryte Vesperia: Disembodied and Tiridates are working together in conceptualizing the power armor. Initial weaponry schematics will see the gear armed with armor specific heavy weapons: rocket pods and a heavy assault chaingun. [18:28] Aryte Vesperia: After the power armor model is live, we have decided upon exploring one of two avenues: cruiser grade fleet vessels, or a helicopter gunship. The decision will be made on Astra's call when it is time. [18:29] Aryte Vesperia: To boot, we do have an additional major developer in the arena lending a hand-- notably, Leia Mercy has recently given me the capability to play with nuclear weaponry. We will be exploring future projects for her as time allows: for example, potentially a rebirth of our riot shield interests. [18:30] Aryte Vesperia: Questions before we move on? I'll take a few. [18:30] Nova Ansar (fox.cheri) raises a paw [18:30] Aryte Vesperia: Cheri? [18:31] Kalas Eruthain (kalas.drascol) raises a paw after Fox. [18:31] Nova Ansar (fox.cheri): The Tyrant. Will the training / Unlocking be of the same principle as the other armored vehicles or out of Astra's reach Sir? [18:31] Aryte Vesperia: The Tyrant will be Terra specific. The power armor will not be, however. [18:31] Aryte Vesperia: Drascol? [18:32] Kalas Eruthain (kalas.drascol): Will the Power Armor have its own devision, such as an Alpha squad, or will it be trained like normal armor? [18:32] Aryte Vesperia: As mentioned in the last meeting: the armor will be an unlock. After which, compulsory assignment to a training course. [18:33] Aryte Vesperia: Next up~ [18:34] Aryte Vesperia: With the merger of the teen grid, we have seen a bit of a rise in visitors from folks looking to simply cause a ruckus. There is no specific one group responsible, and, to be fair, not all of them are from the teen grid. However, it should certainly be addressed. [18:35] Aryte Vesperia: The Ordo, as with any major community group, puts you and I in the spotlight. As part of that spotlight, we catch a lot of flak from outsiders intending to mud. Most of whom have no real knowledge of you or the group-- they are only around to try to get their kicks by causing problems. [18:36] Aryte Vesperia: The important thing to do . . is to simply not waste your time. If someone approaches you with intent to get a rise out of you, do the opposite of what is wanted: ignore 'em. [18:37] Aryte Vesperia: The very same goes to folks claiming "spy in your group"-- the AiR hears it all day; some group or individual claiming he or she is "spying" on the Ordo with an alt. Although any suspicion of such should be reported appropriately . . and frankly, most claims are utter bull . . but what is there even to spy on? The Ordo has nothing to hide. And hell. I feel bad for anyone stuck spying on my meetings. [18:38] Aryte Vesperia: Keep in mind these individuals are only as damaging as you permit them to be. As my favorite philosopher (and Emperor, at that) wrote: “Consider how much more you often suffer from your anger and grief than from those very things for which you are angry and grieved.” [18:39] Aryte Vesperia: (100L if you can guess who without Google.) [18:39] Bracket Crowley: (Sun Tzu?) [18:39] Nova Ansar (fox.cheri): (Julius?) [18:39] Corsi DeAllura (corsi.mousehold): (Beat me to that Bracket) [18:39] Aryte Vesperia: .. Kristian got it. [18:39] Aryte Vesperia: Marcus Aurelius. [18:40] Aryte Vesperia: Moving on~ [18:40] Hunter Abrams: Napleon [18:40] Linx Foxclaw: We can't hear him. D: [18:40] Linx Foxclaw: We can't hear him. D: [18:40] Steeltael Lykin raises paw [18:40] Aryte Vesperia: > Kudos – Growth, Opportunity, etc. [18:41] Aryte Vesperia: Over the last month, we have experienced a strong intake of new members—I do recall giving one of these little kudo speeches not too long ago, but it begs to be said again: outstanding stuff, you all. The new generation of members has done nothing but impress me. You guys are a breath of fresh air. [18:42] Aryte Vesperia: Even Bracket. [18:42] Bracket Crowley: Hi5! [18:42] Aryte Vesperia: There is an endless wealth of opportunity for those of you looking for it. As the group grows, our infrastructure equally grows. There is an increasing need for qualified administrators, combat leads, instructors, Curia staff, officers, and now the Praetorian Guard. [18:42] Corsi DeAllura (corsi.mousehold): Hi5! [18:42] Hokusai Otsuka Ronmark (hokusai.otsuka) is stale air. [18:43] Aryte Vesperia: Our activity levels, defensive, offensively, and membership in general are all up in comparison to last year. A lot of that has to do with involved, determined enlistees and the officer corps. I have never had such an effective staff. It is great to see so many NCOs in the game, and so many others reaching for NCO or officer status. [18:44] Aryte Vesperia: Of course, there is always room for improvement. So let’s keep pushing. Let’s keep innovating. And, remember, if you ever need anything, I am definitely here to give guidance or a helping hand. [18:44] Aryte Vesperia: That said, however, I'd like to turn the floor over to Praetorian Bleac. [18:44] Ron Bleac shouts: Thank you! [18:44] Ron Bleac shouts: As you all know, our combat operation has begun tonight. [18:45] Ron Bleac shouts: Initial reconnaissance én force (read: awesome raids) to both CATI and ARK have been succesful. We crushed CATI even when they called in Vanguard, outnumbering the Ordo force 15 to 7 at times. [18:45] Ron Bleac shouts: We captured all of their objectives. Twice. [18:45] Ron Bleac shouts: Major kudos to raid leaders for that. [18:45] Ron Bleac shouts: Now, that's not all. We will continue our assaults after the meeting. [18:46] Ron Bleac shouts: We'll be experimenting with something called Independent Raid Leadership and a "home command" thingamabob. Basically, since we're sending out nearly 4 raids at once a bunch of Operations Command members will sit down by a table and watch people die. [18:47] Ron Bleac shouts: All of the assaults will be headed by our volunteer officers and NCOs, who have graciously offered their expertise in leadership and making people die. [18:48] Ron Bleac shouts: Initial targets will be mainly TAC armies, but seems they've crawled into a ball. Their defense numbers have dropped, so we'll be primarily concentrating on other militaries. [18:48] Ron Bleac shouts: After which we'll see if they fancy being beaten into a bloody pulp. [18:49] Ron Bleac shouts: That's all. [18:50] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you Mr. Bleac. [18:50] Aryte Vesperia: That said. Very good work this week, you all. I'll entrust Mr. Bleac with post-raid proceedings. I will be working on promotions and so forth. They should be up b y tomorrow morning. [18:50] Aryte Vesperia: Have a great night. Thank you for coming. Ya'll rock. [18:50] Aryte Vesperia snaps his fist to his chest, presenting a brief salute.

NAME:Corsi Mousehold RANK:E-8 BRANCH (TERRA/ASTRA):Terra PREVIOUS RAIDS LEAD WITHIN THE PAST THREE WEEKS: Too many to count ALPHA SQUAD? (Y/N): Y (Antesignani) COHORS LEAD? (Y/N): N OTHER COMMAND ROLES? (Y/N): Y (Tactica CO & IEA Vice Commendant) DOES CURIA LOVE YOU? (Y/N): Y

Hard choice. We just got 40 groups but this would mean a new member would need at minimum five groups to be an active member. (Main, Terra/Astra, Armatura, Squad, one open slot for raids to set home) Plus the Faces group if it's optional. Then again, those that want to really be active would end up getting into other groups too. I know I have thirteen groups just dedicated to Ordo plus spawn groups. In total I have 23 groups for military.

I have worked as a collection agent. MY current job is in Second Life. .. .. ... NUFF SAID!

This will probably be rather brief, considering I have like a ping of 29438832832838 and are liable to crash any second now. In the event I do crash, just follow Keller's lead. Hotel net is terrible. That said, let's get to it. Imperator's Report [2011/01/15 18:00] Aryte Vesperia: Statistics Members: 320 Cadets: 9 Applications New: 24 Accepted: 7 Denied: 13 Review: 4 Combat Defensive: * not determined; Mercury's tracking system was changed mid-week. Offensive: 19 Allied Assist: 0 Diplomatic Report [2011/01/15 18:01] Aryte Vesperia: Diplomatic events this week: TAC activity on the rise. Ordo has been sparring off against all of the TAC groups, with success across the board. Otherwise, status quo. Continued interactions with Erebus; as planned, their IS membership has not changed combat interactions. Divisional Reports [2011/01/15 18:01] Aryte Vesperia: Unit reports this week? Terra [2011/01/15 18:01] SoulBinder Wolfstein raises his hand for Terra. [2011/01/15 18:02] Aryte Vesperia: Mr. Wolfstein? [2011/01/15 18:02] SoulBinder Wolfstein shouts: From Huttser for Antesignani: A good week for the squad, with a decent level of activity. Group meeting was held to good effect, with several subjects discussed and debated. Teron's currently at FC having all the fun whilst we hold down the fort. Still, we hope that activity for the squad will continue to increase. On a final note, the Negev LMG has been released to the general Ordo population, she's a good gun (as most of Antesigani will attest to) so put her to use. [2011/01/15 18:02] Mercury SecretSpy shouts: Stop yelling, i can hear you just fine! [2011/01/15 18:02] SoulBinder Wolfstein: From Krow for Insidiae: Another slow week for A-III. There's nothing major to report, other than some light raiding and two new recruits by the names of Hunter Abrams and Miniature Engineer. More members have been culled from the ranks, and several more may follow. Activity has been low, but the squad seems to be in high spirits due to one member being promoted out, Huttser Ishelwood. Insidiae wishes Huttser good luck in his new position! Other members are looking forward to possible employment outside of the squad, as well. INSIDIAE LOVES YOU. THE GAME. :) [2011/01/15 18:02] SoulBinder Wolfstein: From Eriksson for Invictus: Progressive and extremely active week for Invictus. A good turnout was made last Cohors A training on Sunday, the 9th, of which everyone on the Invictus roster spare two were participating on. Invictus this week has made a total of 40 raids, with an average of 4.0 raids per member for the duration of the week. I'm very impressed with the consistent activity everyone in Invictus is bringing forth to the table. Let's keep that phenomenal activity and participation up! On another note: Invictus has inducted Stirn Aurotharius to our roster, he has shown tremendous prowess in combat and shows the attitude we look for in all Invictus. We have also welcomed Darkhades Demonia back to Invictus, he has shown tremendous efforts in establishing a very active schedule and we whole-heartedly welcome him back to the squad. *Brofists Stirn and Darkhades*. This means that we now have one slot vacant and we've got a gigantic list of candidates whom we're looking closely at! That's all from Invictus [2011/01/15 18:02] SoulBinder Wolfstein: for this week! [2011/01/15 18:03] SoulBinder Wolfstein: From Thatguy for Cohors B: A lot more acitivty with new members coming in left to right. Cohors B will now have a training every Tuesday at 4:00pm slt, unless stated otherwise. Another bundle of inactives will be sent off to Cohors C, making more room for newer members to hop onto the Terra train. Remember to keep bugging your COs about PRF's and whatnot and I'll always be open if you have any comment/questions/complaints that need to be addressed. [2011/01/15 18:03] SoulBinder Wolfstein: This conclude the varied reports from Terra. [2011/01/15 18:03] SoulBinder Wolfstein: *concludes. Astra [2011/01/15 18:03] Nrom Normandy raises his hand for Astra. [2011/01/15 18:04] Aryte Vesperia: Excellent. Thank you. Mr. Normandy? [2011/01/15 18:04] Nrom Normandy: Due to scheduling difficulties on my part, I haven't had time to meet with my command staff to go over this week's reports. This will be short and mostly from what I recall during the week. If a majority of Astra's officers are available after the meeting we will meet together, otherwise I will meet each of them individually tonight and tomorrow to discuss some adjusted expectations and changes. [2011/01/15 18:04] Nrom Normandy: Once again a few names have been lost from our roster this week. I realize I mentioned this last week, but I wish to make a statement to address this. We may lose people in the short term, but long term I can see growth. My focus right now is having the infrastructure and support system in place to support those numbers. Losing folks off our reserves roster isn't going to hurt us for now, so please remain focused and positive! [2011/01/15 18:05] Nrom Normandy: Disembodied Hand now has the majority of the dropship model complete, aside from a few details. I'll be finalizing the weapon specific concerns that he'd need to create models and textures for and hopefully we'll get a scripter assigned from Munitorum to finish this new vehicle up. No progress reports on the SDB and CBU at this time, aside from a new model and texture created by WolfShaman Warrior for the CBU. [2011/01/15 18:06] Nrom Normandy: This week I wish to recognize Disembodied Hand. Not only is he a very busy modeler and texture artist who cranks out work for Ordo, Titan Industries, his own store, and as you may have noticed several other comissioned works with other militaries, he's also an assistant flight leader to our second Flight, Reapers. Despite having all of this commercial work on his plate, he continues to show the qualities of leadership and initiative that I look for in an NCO. He is doing a lot of things right, and I hope others will look to him as an example to follow. [2011/01/15 18:06] Nrom Normandy: This concludes the weekly Astra report. Ad maiorem Imperatoris gloriam. [2011/01/15 18:07] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you, Mr. Normandy. I appreciate the update. [2011/01/15 18:07] Aryte Vesperia: Any additional reports for this week? Tacica [2011/01/15 18:07] Corsi DeAllura (corsi.mousehold) raises his hand for Tactica and IEA. [2011/01/15 18:07] Aryte Vesperia: Mousehold? [2011/01/15 18:08] Corsi DeAllura (corsi.mousehold): For Tactica from myself: How did things go in Tactica this week? We had our ups and downs. That's really the only way to describe it. Yasuka is up, Conflict is down, The Goliath Legion has come in second place for shortest Flash in the Pan military at .... 36 hours and to make the obvious joke went up then down. Silver Hawks new rules and rules in brief have been updated thanks to the endless work of Kyra, and ... Welcome to Kalas Drascol to the team. Since he has been chatting things up with the guys over at Erebus for so long he will be working on that report. IEA [2011/01/15 18:09] Corsi DeAllura (corsi.mousehold): For IEA from Zero Itamae: Pretty good week in the IEA overall, multiple graduates in Schola and Armatura throughout the course of the week. Progress on updating Schola is coming along nicely, Corsi having done a few updates to reflect the recent changes in the group. My focus is switching to the Imperial Ludi a bit, so Awanken Wasp is our first new Ludi Deacon, with one more on the way. Afterwards the Artillery academy will be brought back into use. Another reminder about the QP tacked onto training as well. Both Schola and Armatura are counted in for the 5QP, and each one stacks up. So make sure your make sure the instructor takes down your name! That is all for the IEA report. [2011/01/15 18:09] (COM): Mercury SecretSpy: hmmmm... [2011/01/15 18:10] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you. Good to hear. [2011/01/15 18:10] Aryte Vesperia: Final call for reports? Munitorum [2011/01/15 18:10] Anlysia Gregoire raises the roof. [2011/01/15 18:11] Aryte Vesperia: . [2011/01/15 18:11] Aryte Vesperia: .. Gregoire. [2011/01/15 18:12] Anlysia Gregoire: If you haven't-seen the new tank, it's pretty broriffic. Tsume's working away on it and it'll be done soon (according to him, so if it's not, blame him; I gave a longer timeframe). It has two seats, driver and cupola gunner. It's pretty boss looking. [2011/01/15 18:12] Anlysia Gregoire: Other than that, look up in the sky sometime. The new build is pretty awesome looking. Which will hopefully have some kind of crazy objective system I'm working on in my head as we speak. Or as I type and you read. You know. [2011/01/15 18:13] Anlysia Gregoire: And Krow's all excited about getting a shovel. [2011/01/15 18:13] Anlysia Gregoire: That's about it for me. [2011/01/15 18:13] Aryte Vesperia: Shovel. Yesss. [2011/01/15 18:13] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you. [2011/01/15 18:13] Anlysia Gregoire: OFFHAND SHOVEL, OH GOD SO AMAZING [2011/01/15 18:13] Aryte Vesperia: Final call for reports. Keynote Topics [2011/01/15 18:14] Aryte Vesperia: Excellent. Moving right along. I do have a brief statement to make before lettin' you all free on a short meeting. Bear with me, anything I type takes like five minutes to show up as people clog the internet tubes. [2011/01/15 18:15] Bracket Crowley: Al gore should have installed more tubes imo. [2011/01/15 18:16] Aryte Vesperia: Simply: thank you all for keeping things together while I am on this short vacation. I have heard a great deal of positive news in regard to combat interaction-- besting 2142 in combat included. [2011/01/15 18:16] Aryte Vesperia: It is outstanding and always impressive to me to be able to step away for a few days and things to go on at a strong level. It's one of the best feelings for me as a leader. So thank you, everyone. [2011/01/15 18:17] Aryte Vesperia: I look forward to coming back to normal hours. That will be as of Monday. Still, as always, a lot in the works to be accomplished. We'll be pushing the ART into full swing first off. [2011/01/15 18:19] Aryte Vesperia: One sour note to go over: apparently a troll nabbed my avatar back on January 3rd. Pai Yokosuka. The individual was already banned. Although there are clear connections with that name to Cullen Anthony and Jizzum Resident. It won't be too surprising to see things popping up. So, keep your eyes open for me, please. :] [2011/01/15 18:20] Anlysia Gregoire shouts: Note if you see anyone in the avatar, get a screenshot of them, their name, and bring up the item panel (Ctrl+3) and get a screenshot of the creator, as well. [2011/01/15 18:20] Aryte Vesperia: That said. You are all awesome. Again, thank you all for keeping things together. I applaud you all. [2011/01/15 18:21] Anlysia Gregoire shouts: Preferably in a single shot. [2011/01/15 18:21] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you, Anly. [2011/01/15 18:21] Aryte Vesperia: Promotions and such will be up on Monday when I am back on a normal connection. Feel free to send me additional PRFs/recommendations to be included in this cycle. [2011/01/15 18:23] Aryte Vesperia: Enjoy the rest of your nights. Take care, and have a great weekend. [2011/01/15 18:23] Aryte Vesperia: I am going to go lag off now. [2011/01/15 18:23] Aryte Vesperia: YOur salutes will probably crash me, lol. [2011/01/15 18:23] Aryte Vesperia: BUT. [2011/01/15 18:23] Aryte Vesperia: BRING IT [2011/01/15 18:23] Aryte Vesperia snaps his fist to his chest, presenting a brief salute.

Per the norm, please be certain to hold all questions and comments until provided the opportunity to speak. Interruptions will result in dismissal from the gathering. When you are provided the chance to speak, be sure to /shout/ your comments or questions—otherwise the recorder may not hear you. Thank you: let’s get to it Imperator's Report [18:00] Aryte Vesperia: Statistics Members: 318 Cadets: Applications New: 22 Accepted: 11 Denied: 6 Review: 6 Combat Defensive: * unknown; system being updated. Offensive: 19 (outstanding!) Allied Assist: 0 [18:00] Aryte Vesperia: Whoops. Cadets: 6. Diplomatic Report [18:01] Aryte Vesperia: Diplomatic notes this evening: [18:01] Aryte Vesperia: Erebus Initiative was confirmed to the Iron Symphony on Thursday. It is important to note that, however an IS group, they remain a hostile party and will continue engaging us in combat. [18:02] Aryte Vesperia: Furthermore, Erebus may visit while wearing their Iron Symphony tag. That is, provided other Erebus are not currently assaulting. [18:03] Aryte Vesperia: TAC has taken specific interest in engaging Erebus. No doubt based upon Erebus tendency to bug them constantly. Amusingly enough, TAC had requested our assistance in dealing with Erebus -- not certain if they've realized Erebus's affiliation with the IS. [18:03] Aryte Vesperia: Unit reports this evening? Divisional Reports [18:03] Aryte Vesperia: Unit reports this evening? [18:03] Nrom Normandy raises his hand for Astra. [18:03] Aryte Vesperia: Mr. Normandy. Astra [18:03] Nrom Normandy: Good evening Ordo. This is my first weekly address for Astra in my new position. I'm not much for fanfare or speeches, so I'll just get into the content for this week's report. [18:03] Nrom Normandy: We have lost some people in this past week, due to both inactivity and the pursuit of greener grass. Although we lost some, we also gained a few fresh faces. A big welcome to Sambakza Resident, who has already started to make her presence and find her place here in Ordo. Thanks again to Wulf Lykin and Sebris for guiding her through Palaestra this week. [18:04] Nrom Normandy: Some of you may have noticed that Tsume Xiao made some progress with the CBU. There was some testing against the Erebus Initiative both here in Titan and in Ziost. The reports have been both positive and negative, so I hope through more testing and tweaking we will have this in a finalized state to deploy soon. The SDB project will also see additional development. My focus is to have these projects completed as soon as possible so that we can clear the way for new ideas. Also, after speaking with Disembodied Hand earlier this week, I can say that the new drop ship is going to look and be fairly bad ass. [18:04] Nrom Normandy: As you also may have noticed, there have been some changes to Astra's rules of engagement in regards to Ziost. I encourage everyone, not just members of Astra, to go into the Astra forum and read through the two posts regarding this. WolfShaman Warrior and Ethan Schuman both have some encouraging remarks and guidelines in regards to our relations with this group, but remember that where there are conflicts in the two threads take the most recent post, written by Ethan, as the current policy. I will have this written up and stickied soon to better assist in future encounters with Erebus. [18:05] Nrom Normandy: I am already seeing increased activity for us. This will continue to improve. Before closing this report, however, I wish to introduce a new portion to my weekly report: recognizing comrades. This week I wish to recognize my command staff: Blaze Wiles, the commander of Astra's Apostles; Nikki4 Aquitaine, Astra's Liason to Munitorum and supervisor of our development projects; WolfShaman Warrior, commander of the Tactical and Reserve squadrons; Ethan Schuman, Executive Officer of Astra; and lastly, Trinity Heckroth, Commander of Palaestra and all training efforts for Astra. [18:05] Nrom Normandy: Without the support and actions of these individuals, I would not be here. These officers have a long standing career in the Ordo Imperialis and the military community of Second Life. Trinity I have known almost my entire career in the military community. Together we will continue to push Astra forward and achieve the goals that I will set for myself and our division. [18:05] Nrom Normandy: This concludes the weekly Astra report. Ad maiorem Imperatoris gloriam. Terra [18:06] FireFox Breed rises his paw for Terra. [18:06] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you, Mr. Normandy. [18:06] Aryte Vesperia: Mr. Breed? [18:06] FireFox Breed: From Teron for Antesignani: As expected, we saw a resurgance of activity this week with the Holidays passing. Antesignani was often present in the operations against Erebus, as well as introducing a new training regiment for its members which has been going well. That sums up the week for Ante. [18:06] FireFox Breed: From Krow for Insidiae: Still recovering from the holidays, really. As membership rises, the pool of ready recruits will be available for the squad's ranks. In time, we'll be operating at full capacity. For now, we focus on administrative duties and getting current members jobs outside of the squad for bonus points. We currently have two new recruits and are looking to fill more slots soon. Also: The game. Insidiae loves you. [18:06] FireFox Breed: From Eriksson for Invictus: First would just like to welcome everyone back from the holidays, they were short but definitely worth-while. A few members of Invictus were sent out on a small training to New Jessie on Wednesday, with a few members of Antesignani. The training went very well, and we're glad everybody enjoyed themselves. Looking ahead in time, we plan to have squad trainings and raids back full force for next week from 'after holiday' recovery, in hope's we will all back to full activity from the entirety of the roster. Lastly, would like to welcome a former member back into Invictus: Darkhades Demonia! Let's keep up the awesome work folks, and enjoy the weekend! [18:07] FireFox Breed: From Thatguy for Cohors B: More activity within Cohors B as we gain more members and as the holidays are passing by. We've got a few plans up ahead, will be speaking with the Cohors B staff soon about some plans I have for Cohors B for the next few weeks. Be sure to ask for PRF's! :D [18:07] FireFox Breed: And from me. Keep up the good work on the ground Terra. Your all doing a good job. That is all. [18:08] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you. Additional reports this evening? [18:08] Corsi Mousehold raises his paw. [18:08] Aryte Vesperia: Mr. Mousehold? Tacica [18:08] Corsi Mousehold: For Tactica: Now that the Holiday season is over, Tactica is getting right back into the swing of things. Exterminatus is rejoining the team now that he is back in the Ordo, Since Erebus is now in the Iron Symphony, we will be setting up a defensive report for them. Also in rebuild is the Mercz if you were not aware. Initially looking it over it's fairly wide open, so expect alot of bullets to be flying across the sim over there. Kyra the Adjutant will to working on that one with the rest of command's help. One thing we are upset about is that SLAD is gone now. *insert MW2 joke here* WAW report is updated as well as Sebris has been working hard at giving us notations on Astra able targets. We still have big things coming for Astra in the very near future so ... Be on the lookout for fun stuff. This concludes the long awaited Tactica report. [18:09] Corsi Mousehold: Hold on. One more report. IEA [18:09] Corsi Mousehold: From IEA: Another active week for our instructors, with a large number of both Schola and Armatura classes having been held. Currently have 3 slots open for those interested in being an instructor, if you're interested feel free to post on the forums or directly contact me. Still looking for anyone interested in the Ludi Director role. Largely about content creation and administration for the higher tiers of training that the IEA offers. More information and how to apply can be found at: http://forums.ordoimperialis.com/index.php?/topic/10694-position-openings-magistrates-and-ludi-directors/ Finally, a little participation incentive has been added for those who volunteer to help with Armatura or Schola training. For each event participated in, you will recieve 5 QP. [18:10] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you. Final call for reports this evening. [18:10] Aryte Vesperia: Very good, moving right along. Keynote Topics [18:11] Aryte Vesperia: As a prefix to tonight's gathering, I do want to welcome all of our new members. Thank you all for joining us. It's great to see you here. [18:13] Aryte Vesperia: That said, I do want to extend an apology: tonight's meeting will be a bit out of the norm and essentially a Cliff note version of our usual proceedings. The city I live within had a bit of a local tragedy on account of an assassination attempt on our congresswoman. I am going to be running off here shortly to participate in a vigil. However! We do have several topics to go over before then. [18:15] Aryte Vesperia: Foremost; as reports indicate across the board, group activity is off the charts. Per the norm, winter break's ending has returned to us our standard numbers. It's awesome to see you all back in full motion. Let's really take advantage of this time to push our daily goals: so far, we've met and exceeded them each day this week. That's outstanding. So kudos to you all. [18:16] Aryte Vesperia: Before we get to the big topic this evening, I do want to take a moment to recap on development updates-- both policy and material wise. [18:17] Aryte Vesperia: On the policy side of things, I will be taking a group of volunteers to assist me with shaping out the ART criteria. We have had a lot of positive feedback thus far, however it is still necessary to define what each tier of achievement constitutes. [18:18] Aryte Vesperia: For those of you new: the ART (Achievement Rating Tiers) will be a set of advanced curriculum trees in which members will be able to voluntarily participate, honing their combat skills. [18:19] Aryte Vesperia: The volunteering will likely be taken over the next week, with think-tank sessions occuring after the next weekend. [18:22] Aryte Vesperia: After which, he will begin work upon heavy "power armor" before moving on to a capital grade vessel. [18:23] Disembodied Hand wiggles with excitement. [18:23] Tsume Xiao seconds this wiggling [18:23] Aryte Vesperia prepares ejection. [18:24] Aryte Vesperia: The Subjugator has been tapped for model replacement-- a modeler has been located. The Adjudicator will soon be joining that list. [18:24] Arokh Takakura: .. [18:25] Aryte Vesperia: It is likely that the functionality of these weapons will be re-done at the time of replacement. [18:25] Aryte Vesperia: Any questions before we move on to the keynote? [18:26] Jayce Iredell raises hand. [18:26] Wulf Lykin: raises his paw [18:26] Aryte Vesperia: Mr. Iredell? [18:26] Arokh Takakura raises his claw. [18:26] Tsume Xiao raises hand [18:26] Jayce Iredell: Will this mean rescripting aswell? [18:26] Disembodied Hand raises ... self? [18:26] Aryte Vesperia: Correct. Mr. Lykin? [18:27] Wulf Lykin: where will the power armor be used for, for who and which brance [18:27] Wulf Lykin: ? [18:28] Aryte Vesperia: There is a large petition for it to be universal, haha. [18:28] Wulf Lykin: alright, so its more or less a common armor? [18:28] Aryte Vesperia: Power armor will be, essentially, a heavy weapon toting platform. It will be restricted/unlockable. [18:29] Wulf Lykin: oke [18:29] Aryte Vesperia: Mr. Takakura? [18:29] Arokh Takakura shouts: Will the old Subjugator be an attatchment based upon the new power-armour setup? And will this new model be the Ethan prototype I have been toting for the past year? [18:29] Mercury SecretSpy shouts: Stop yelling, i can hear you just fine! [18:30] Aryte Vesperia: No, it will be seperate from the power armor. And no, it will not be. [18:31] Arokh Takakura: :C [18:31] Aryte Vesperia: Mr. Xiao? [18:31] Tsume Xiao: I'd just like to add to the material things. The Tyrant sill needs to sort out a few conceprtual things (railgun stuff: Arc/no Arc/Optional/Etc) and the new Thanatos weapon system, the Cluster Bomb System, is also in testing. (A version for that bomber that doesnt exist is also int he works but not really because it doesnt exist) [18:31] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you. [18:31] Aryte Vesperia: Mr. .. Hand? [18:31] Disembodied Hand shouts: To clarify, will the Power armor be an HP armor system, or more of an elite infantry unit with enhanced weapons? Aswell, will the fleet ship be HP based? [18:31] Aryte Vesperia: On both counts: HP options will be explored. [18:32] Aryte Vesperia: That said, let's move on. [18:32] Aryte Vesperia: The big topic for this evening is the appointment of a new Astra commander. [18:33] Aryte Vesperia: Over the last week, several meetings were held in order to determine a replacement for the now retired Sosarin. The selection was .. extremely difficult. [18:33] Aryte Vesperia: Astra boasts some of the finest officers we have to offer, with years of experience among them. I would wager easily ten years between them. [18:35] Aryte Vesperia: However, after deliberation and input by Sosarin Demar, it was finally determined that the position is best entrusted to Mr. Nrom Normandy. Normandy, although among the younger in the sense of tenure in the Astra command, has a sense of energy and drive that is rare among the community. [18:37] Aryte Vesperia: It is a difficult position. But a position I have no doubt Mr. Normandy will handle without incident. I am proud to name him Praefectus of Astra. [18:37] Steeltael Lykin applauds [18:38] Aryte Vesperia: Go ahead. Haha. [18:38] Steeltael Lykin: /hi5 [18:38] WolfShaman Warrior: Hi5! [18:38] Eriksson Foxtrot: Hi5! [18:38] Corsi Mousehold: Hi5! [18:38] Afevis Sodertelge: Hi5! [18:38] Aryte Vesperia claps. [18:38] Arokh Takakura: ExtraHi4! [18:38] Maverick Garfield: Hi5! [18:38] BurrWolf Qin: Hi5! [18:38] Keller Teichmann: Hi5! [18:38] Vinnie Lei: /hi5 [18:38] Awanken Wasp: Hi5! [18:38] Kalas Drascol: Hi5! [18:38] Sambakza Resident: Hi5! [18:38] Zerowinged Vasiliev: Hi5! [18:38] Huttser Ishelwood: Hi5! [18:38] Hunter Abrams: Hi5! [18:38] Vinnie Lei: Hi5! [18:38] Desereck Creeggan: /hi5 [18:38] Amaroq Childs: Hi5! [18:38] Mark Karlfeldt: planes suck. [18:38] Hutchyy Resident: Hi5! [18:38] Kithsuneca Eilde: Hi5! [18:38] Wulf Lykin: Hi5! [18:38] FireFox Breed: Hi5! [18:38] Desereck Creeggan: Hi5! [18:38] Corsi Mousehold: HiTurret! [18:38] Kaska Czarny applauds. "Oo rah!" [18:38] Blaze Wiles applauds [18:38] Aryte Vesperia: Haha. [18:38] Typhon Perun golf claps. [18:39] Maverick Garfield: ... [18:39] Aryte Vesperia: Now-- that said. If you will all pardon me, I am going to head off for a bit. I will see you all later this evening after the vigil for the victims. Promotions will be up, more than likely, by tomorrow morning. Otherwise, I am confident my talented raid leads will take care of tonight's battle. [18:40] Aryte Vesperia: (Erebus has been dealing with TAC all day-- may want to give them a breather.) [18:40] Maverick Garfield: <jungle> [18:40] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you all for coming. [18:40] Aryte Vesperia: Have a wonderful night. [18:40] Aryte Vesperia: Dismissed. [18:40] Aryte Vesperia snaps his fist to his chest, presenting a brief salute.

[23:41] Bradley Petrov: Whos da OIC [23:41] Corsi Mousehold salutes. [23:41] Corsi Mousehold: Come. UNarmed. IS tag and whatnot. [23:42] Bradley Petrov: Erh, I was actaully wanting to attack, lonewolf. But, I wanted go against you all with melee only. [23:42] Bradley Petrov: BEEN DENIED IN THE PAST [23:42] Bradley Petrov: But. [23:42] Bradley Petrov: It was fun as hell that one time. [23:42] Corsi Mousehold: You ahve two EI's sitting on our patio visiting. [23:42] Bradley Petrov: Oh [23:42] Bradley Petrov: Wow [23:42] Corsi Mousehold: I think they are rather enjoying themselves here right now. [23:42] Bradley Petrov: D:~ [23:42] Bradley Petrov: Whos visiting? [23:43] Corsi Mousehold: Arch and Lilium [23:43] Bradley Petrov: Well then. [23:43] Bradley Petrov: I SHANT ATTACK [23:44] Corsi Mousehold: Good idea.
