Any ideas on what you'd like to see from the Ordo, new services,general improvements or perhaps some unique idea none of us have thought of? Post them here or send them to me via a PM.

I think we're severely lacking in the age-old classics of musket raids.

 

Not that we have muskets handy in most of the games out there, but wacky things were always fun. It's practically what all the popular gaming youtubers do these days. So long as everyone is in on it, inspire the masses, the end result will be hilarious.

I think it was mgs-greyfox that said it on the TS the other day, but more random "fun" events in the various games (I'm suggesting in ToR mostly its because it's what I play, it's probably easier to set something like that up on there and it's what he intended when he first put the suggestion forward). Things like scavenger hunts, mini Olympics, fun challenges, with prizes or awards or god knows what else. 

THIS IS THE START OF OUR SPEARMAN GUIDE THAT IS CURRENTLY IN PRODUCTION

The new ESO trailer continues from where the last one left off.  ;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVMNQozxqos

Thought I would give my formal introduction. Im NYAP1019. I also go by BDAWG.  I played SWG from Sept '03 - Dec '11. I have been playing the EMU since its birth in '06. I actually just came back 2 months ago from a 1 year break, but back and ready to kick some ass.  I also play WW2 Online: Battleground Europe.  I am a pilot 95% of the time, yet I am efficient in all areas of the game.  I do belong to the best pilot squad in the game, and cannot leave that squad. Sorry for that in advance. lol  Anyways, I am in SWG daily, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask. 

I can manufacture all the clothing we need, just looking for a bioengineer. I'll also move Amethyz to Huttsers camps, and we'll PARTY.

Had to post this, I regret nothing.       https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ig9z_hDSjuU

I would so totally play. ;_;

It's not as bad as you might think. You may need to keep your draw distances down, but the game is significantly better optimized than ArmA II. And the inventory system is magical compared to previous iterations.

Good/Bad News.

Bad News: Free to play version is canceled.

Good News!: They are canceling based on alpha feedback that it didnt feel properly command and conquer with the free to play setup. There is a good potential they are going to bring in a new team and "get the game back on track" so it may be a legit $60 purchase Generals 2 now

▶ Chapter I: Introduction

The following document serves as the basic codification for the military combat gaming group known as the Ordo Imperialis. The materials listed herein are available for public view and shall be treated as unclassified. All registered members and potential applicants to the Ordo Imperialis are expected to understand and abide by the contents of this document. Questions relating to materials may be directed to the presiding Tribunus officer corps.

Individuals wishing to pursue enlistment within the Ordo Imperialis are encouraged to read this document in its entirety. After which, an application may be found at the following web address: http://forums.ordoimperialis.com/index.php?app=groupjoin


▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀

▶ Chapter II: Getting Started

The following chapter outlines the basic experience and expectations that an applicant to the Ordo should be prepared for.

➡ Mission of the Ordo Imperialis
The Ordo Imperialis is a professional grade virtual military combat organization. Founded originally as part of the Second Life Military Community, the Ordo has over six years of experience in combat gaming. The Ordo aims to provide a regimented, respectful atmosphere for anyone wishing to serve within a stable, efficient group. Personnel of the Ordo are to hold loyalty to one another, honor, discipline, and dedication to the highest of regards. All members are expected to serve within whatever duty assigned with pride and distinction, without exception.

The Ordo’s slated goals are to exert military excellence at all times, and produce a respectable foundation for the gaming community. To be a member of the Ordo Imperialis is to be part of a continuing family, with traditions and values that have been born through years of experience. From cadet to commander: every Ordo member is held to high regard and respected as a brother at arms.

➡ The Process
Application: In order to initiate one’s career, the first step is to submit an application. To do so, you must access the web form: http://forums.ordoimperialis.com/index.php?app=groupjoin

As a general rule: an individual who takes time to answer each question on the application honestly and thoroughly will have a far greater chance of making the cut. Upon submitting a complete form, the application is put into a queue for review. Wait times vary dependent upon current loads: expect to wait at least two business days, but typically no greater than five.

Most applicants will be contacted by a member of the command staff; please be certain to respond to inquiries, as failure to do so will delay or result in a failed application. In the event that an application is deemed unacceptable, a denial letter will be sent detailing the reasons. After which, an applicant will be provided the opportunity to reapply after seven days. In the event that an application is deemed acceptable, the applicant will receive further instructions and enlistment invitations. 

Schola: Upon entrance to the Ordo, a new member is subjected to the Schola program. Schola is, for all intents and purposes, the Ordo’s “basic training.” Schola is designed to provide cadets all the basic information that he or she will need to survive—additionally; it is an opportunity for command members to review the cadet thoroughly for any issues that may inhibit their participation within the group at a proper level.

Schola is separated into several phases: each has a particular focus. Overall, Schola is typically conducted over the span of several days. Scheduling a phase may occur in two fashions: at random or on demand. Random classes occur based on instructor availability and will be announced over the group via notice. On demand classes occur based upon cadet request—to make a request, simply find an online instructor and send them a message.

Induction: Provided all phases of Schola are completed at a satisfactory level, a cadet is graduated and inducted into the Ordo Imperialis as a full member. At such time, the cadet will be awarded the rank of [sG-1] and granted access to all group functions.

Greetings!

 

I’m posting this to explain some changes to our community ranking structure that is coming down the pipe. For most of you, you will not notice much of a change, But for our Vets, this will be a bit of a shift from our traditional ranking system.

 

The Goal of this system is to move to a ranking system that more reflects our community as a chapter based community from that of a Single Platform mil-sim group. We’re going to be implementing the Billitied Ranking system that we’ve been talking about for a while.

 

Billited Ranks basically mean that You hold the rank for as long as you hold the position. When you no longer hold the position, you will return to a member rank. Please note, that Bilited Ranks to not transfer between chapters. If you’re SG3-4 in PS2, You do not automatically become command or staff of SW:TOR.

 

Ranking Changes

 

SG1 = Community Member

-Entry Rank, Majority of people here.

 

SG2 = Community Veteran

SG1 Minimum time requirement = 6 months.

-Ordo people who’ve been around for a long time or have served in chapter leadership. Current Principales will be moved here.


 

SG3 = Chapter Specialist / SGT - Billet Rank

-Support staff position. Your squad/group/event leaders, Special Group Leaders (Think OSWO), Recruiters, Quartermasters, etc.

-Billet Exemption: As Recognition for their service and achievements, Former CENTCOM Members will be awarded SG3 as a global community ranking.


 

Enlisted Ranks Above

================

Officer Ranks Below


 

SG4 = Chapter Commander / Officer Staff / JR Officer - Billeted Rank

Officer Rank. - Chapter Grade

 

Billeted to Chapter Commander and XO. Additional slots available depending on chapter size and CENTCOM review.

 

People in this rank are considered Officers of the Ordo Imperialis, and are expected to conduct themselves as such, as they will become ambasadors of the community as a whole as we expand into new communities. They will be tasked with General day to day Administration of their chapter.

 

As with the limited scope of SG3, Chapter officers focus on their chapters and officer powers do not extend into other active chapters, But that does not limit an SG4 officer from providing input and advice when asked from other officers in another chapter.

 

Potential CENTCOM members will spend time in the SG4 rank where Community officers can observe their administrative and command ability.

 

SG5 = CENTCOM - Community Administration - Billeted Rank (Believe it or not!)

Officer Rank. - Community/Global Grade

SG4 minimum Time Requirement = 2 months.

 

All Current officers will be combined into this one rank, and not much outside of that has changed. CENTCOM are the community managers who take care of all the back end stuff. This is the only group who maintain their influence across all platforms. SG5 personnel will typically be involved in the setting up of new chapters, settling disputes, and drinking coffee.

 

SG4 officers who show interest and potential for working in an administrative role and show dedication to the community as a whole may eventually find themselves promoted to this role.

 

CENTCOM has become a bit more dynamic in these days. We’ve recently had some officers opt to step down from CENTCOM due to increased RL Demands. We’ve had some in the past who’s stepped down because They’ve lost interest or didn't have anything to do. These people have served the group well, and offer their space to the newer generation of Ordo to advance and bring their skills to the table.

 

SG6 = Imperator - Aryte

 

Nothing has changed here. Keep Dreaming.

A special citation this week, the issuing of the [Corona Vallaris], our second highest award for combatant ability to the following individuals...
Odin047, Gavrielloken, MadSeasonOfGrief, Angelin01, Wolf Shaman
This citation reads:
"The Battle of the Traverse.

Ordo was moving to take the NW part of Esamir from the NC. We had just captured the Freyr Network compound from the raw recruits that the NC left to garrison the base, when NC Population Spiked as the alert hit.

After capping the point, Ordo was counter-attacked by an air based outfit. Three Liberators, suppoting fighters, and a Galaxy that unloaded drop troops, and provided gunship support.

Ordo fought them off as best as we could, delaying their progress into TR Territory. Eventually we were pushed back into the Transverse.

While shaking off the initial shock of the air attack, We managed to knock down some aircraft and pop some additional ground support armor. At one point, we had one second on the clock and we were able to fight our way to the point, stall the clock for 10-15 seconds while we hunted down and cleared the last NC from the point, then flipped it back.

On the map, Territories around us were flipping blue and some lesser willed NC Left the fight at the Transverse to go fight elsewhere, slowly evening the odds. We sent a few people back into the network compound to hack turrets and harass NC while we waited for the point at the transverse to recap.

With half of NC chasing after cloaked infiltrators and playing flip the point, Ordo was able to push NE back into Freyr Network Compound and then retake the base in time to see TR re-link with the squad and push on into Freyr Amp."
As such, for exceptional performance in the commission of battle, the previously listed  individuals are awarded the Corona Vallaris.

Only a couple weeks left of basic. Miss you guys! Hope you've all been well!

Keep it classy, Ordo!

Ps: crawling 200 m in the mud at midnight while having machine guns fired over your head is a thrill.
