[17:59:40] Jeffery Worbridge: pop

[17:59:58] Aryte Vesperia: Meeting start time: going forward please be certain to hold your comments and questions until given the opportunity to speak. Failure to do so will result in a dismissal from the meeting.

Allied Assist: 0

[18:00:37] Aryte Vesperia: Diplomatic notes for this week: operations and political standings remain steady this week. We have had no notable shifts, outside of steadily increasing run ins with the Alliance Navy. Thus far, our interactions have been primarily on the offensive at the AN’s new region. Unfortunately, thus far we have experienced some politicking around gear permissions. This is rather out of the norm for the Alliance, considering their religious investment in explosives and tracking missiles. In other news, we have been routinely beating New Rome into submission. Their leader spends the entirety of the battle silent, ignoring attempts to cooperate, to promptly throw a baby fit and claim victory (despite being stuck in his own spawn for the whole fight).

[18:01:05] Aryte Vesperia: As a side note, Badnarik is being attacked by a massive amount of TG armies right now. We've a team there helping their defense. So be vigilant for potential .. TG crusade attempts.

[18:01:37] Aryte Vesperia: Unit reports this evening?

[18:01:39] Disembodied Hand raises his hand for Astra.

[18:01:46] Aryte Vesperia: Mr. Hand.

[18:01:55] Disembodied Hand: Overall, Astra had a really good week. All flights and Palaestra report good or great activity, with several tasks completed as well as a large increase in Astra pilots. Because of the boost in activity and enlisted pilots "Caellum", a third wing to better manage activity. This third wing would free our most active up for our primary wings, Reapers and Aquila. Combat wise Astra took out a notable amount of raids this week, and will continue to do so.

[18:02:05] Disembodied Hand: On a development front, Astra is nailing down final decisions on new tiered merits to be added that will better reward our pilots for specific tasks. Doing so will allow us to put Ace pilot on a pedestal as it were, making it a more elite merit. These will hopefully be rolled out in the coming weeks to reward our pilots for their dedication and skill in a more accurate way. Merits aside Enforcer is officially being rolled out to qualified pilots as an OIC discretionary death dealer, and Letalis mods and air cavalry systems are officially in que to be developed.

[18:02:13] Disembodied Hand: That is all from Astra.

[18:02:52] Hollowmengitus Yifu raises hand for Terra.

[18:03:16] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you. Mr. Yifu?

[18:03:22] Hollowmengitus Yifu: COHORS A:

> A-I, Invictus: From Pr0wer Miles: In a time of bland weekly summaries, the readers looked crossed eyed and with a bit of drool on the side of their mouth as the keyboard looked more like a pillow with each passing second. Invictus was sure to be another boring report that most would oversee for sure…but with nothing but raids to report it became harder to find something of prime interest to entertain the masses. So the CO thought long and hard of all the potential that hadn’t be used from previous meetings and knew it wouldn’t be easy as the clock drew nearer to the deadline when it hit him…write about how it sucks writing these reports.

[18:03:51] Hollowmengitus Yifu: > A-II, Evalidus: From Huttser Ishelwood: Nothing much to report this week, looking forward to the completion of the Chronus training ground, initial training runs on the sim have proven to be rather interesting. Aside from that, A-II still has a few slots we're looking the fill, so if your interested contact either Huttser Ishelwood or Awanken Wasp.

[18:04:12] Hollowmengitus Yifu: > A-III, Insidiae: From Mackenzie Macbain: Many an enemy came, saw Insidiae before them, and were sent home in pieces. Glory to the empire. Insid FTW!

[18:04:27] Hollowmengitus Yifu: > A-IV, Praescius: From Afevis Sodertelge: Nothing new to report. If you would like to join contact either Afevis Sodertelge or Liam Macalroy. :]

[18:04:37] Hollowmengitus Yifu: COHORS B:

> From thatguy Andel: More and more going on with Cohors B these days, congrats to Riff for making the XO of B-I. Activity is picking up on top of Genesis contacting everyone in B-II. Kudos to that. Looking forward to more meets and greets, more raids and trainings, and more general activity all around in Cohors B.

[18:04:47] Hollowmengitus Yifu: MISC.: If you fail a promotion exam, you can redo it. That said, get doing them thar promotion exams.

[18:04:59] Hollowmengitus Yifu: That's all from Terra.

[18:05:20] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you.

[18:05:25] Aryte Vesperia: Any additional reports this evening?

[18:05:27] Radryl Allen raises his hand for Adstutia.

[18:05:27] Drasamax Python raises hand for the IEA.

[18:05:32] Aryte Vesperia: Mr. Allen.

[18:05:53] Radryl Allen: Good evening ladies and gentlemen, it took a while but we finally got some informations. Sadly we had some delay during two weeks because "someone" had been trying to interrupt our working by contacting exactly the people that we talk with to get informations, anyway there are the news! New organizations coming up, so Tactica, get ready!

[18:06:13] Radryl Allen: We have two new organizations coming up, one of them is SCI, the group already makes part of the UBC Alliance together with ISA and Meggido, but for now they still under construction, so we will keep looking up to see when they will open.

The second organization is called by SHIELD, they are also under construction, we got a confirmation, and they are also looking for a Alliance with Ordo.

[18:06:32] Radryl Allen: Also, FRAG just gave Megiddo and ISA their materials full perm, so expect some more explosions and all that stuff. But at this point some of you already saw that during the raids.

[18:06:46] Radryl Allen: Anyway, moving up, Adstutia still looking for members! As some of our guys are being a little busy with RL we need some people to handle their paperwork, besides of course, get your own missions! Here are the requirements:

-Be at least a E-3

-Be able to speak more than one language OR:

---Be able to handle paperwork and be handle difficult situations.

- Be able to run like a crazy incase they decide to shoot at us. Also bring some potatoes.

[18:06:53] Radryl Allen: That is all from Adstutia.

[18:07:28] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you. Ms. Python?

[18:07:47] Xoza Tyron raises hand.

[18:08:15] Aryte Vesperia: Mr. Tyron, while Ms. Python relogs.

[18:08:28] Xoza Tyron: The Chronus build team is happy to announce that Chronus is open and operational now. You can find more information on the Munitorum forums or go check it out and please utilize it as much as possible! If you have any questions or further ideas. Please let me know! That is all.

[18:08:51] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you. Very good work.

[18:10:04] Aryte Vesperia: Drasamax, have you returned?

[18:10:07] Drasamax Python: From myself for The Imperial Education Administration: 17 Schola classes, 7 Armatura classes (Seperate Modules), and 1 NCO-A Ludi Class. The Armatura rewrite has Modules: C-3, D-2, D-3 complete this week. Getting closer to the next step of the rewrite process.

That is all from the Imperial Education Administration.

[18:10:49] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you.

[18:10:53] Aryte Vesperia: Final call for reports.

[18:11:04] Anlysia Gregoire: Want me here, or later?

[18:11:09] Aryte Vesperia: Go ahead.

[18:11:30] Anlysia Gregoire: Hi there, I'm Anlysia. I'm the fancy head honcho person of the Munitorum division. We make the shiny things that put the bullets in the bad men.

We are presently looking to expand our repretoire of people in a new direction: Some more non-developers. We have two new openings for NCOs that we're looking to fill.

[18:11:37] Anlysia Gregoire: First; an NCO Adjutant to primarily manage our revamped and relaunched beta-testing program. This is foremost a paperwork position, where you select and oversee beta-testers of new equipment, collect reports, etc.

Second; another NCO Adjutant to do some forum management, and maintain our third-party weapon database. Due to changes in LSL and the Estate Tools, our previous method of testing weapons doesn't-work anymore, so we're working on a new method that doesn't require Estate Admin.

[18:11:45] Anlysia Gregoire: These two roles would also cross-interact a bit, in case of unavailability by one or the other person.

If you're interested in applying for one or the other of these positions, I'll direct you to this forum thread: http://forums.ordoimperialis.com/index.php?/topic/16494-ordo-munitorum-operational-manual/

[18:11:51] Anlysia Gregoire: You can read over some more specific information about the jobs there. If they sound like something you'd be interested in, we'll be posting up a thread taking applications for the positions in the future.

If the idea of being a beta tester in general interests you, we're also going to be looking for those at an upcoming date. So keep your eyes open for information about that.

[18:11:59] Anlysia Gregoire: (Yes that was long. Read it in the log later.)

[18:12:02] Anlysia Gregoire: (I'm going back to bed.)

[18:12:45] Aryte Vesperia: Excellent. Piggy backing off that:

[18:12:49] Aryte Vesperia: > AiR Opportunity

[18:12:57] Aryte Vesperia: Another opportunity related to open positions: the AiR is actively seeking individuals interested in starting a career within our intelligence department. Selection will be incredibly stringent, but anyone interested (who meets the criteria in the recruitment post) are cordially invited to give it a try.

[18:13:24] Aryte Vesperia: Recruitment into the AiR is a rare and exclusive feat. New applicants are encouraged to keep their candidacy entirely private. Any indication that your application has been revealed to others will result in a removal from the opportunity. If appointed, new AiR members can expect a long period of service in a passive role, assisting the AiR in various tasks as part of a probationary period.

[18:14:02] Aryte Vesperia: Even upon making it beyond the application status of enrollment, there will be a great deal of heavy scrutiny before an individual is granted a standard operative status.

[18:14:33] Aryte Vesperia: The AiR routinely engages in lengthy, entirely covert investigations aimed at providing internal security to the Ordo. It requires its members to be capable of handling difficult situations, potentially disturbing information, and be willing to maintain absolute secrecy during and after service within the AiR.

[18:15:28] Aryte Vesperia: Additionally, Mr. Bleac has something to say regarding the AIR.

[18:15:40] Aryte Vesperia: Mr. Bleac.

[18:15:49] Ron Bleac: Yes!

[18:15:58] Ron Bleac: The AiR is pleased to note that Guardsman Scarlet Flaks has been placed into the Overseer post and will be assuming command of our commissariat of Internal Affairs. Flaks has served with the Agentes for an extended period of time and has accrued an outstanding service record with the Agentes and the Ordo itself. The Agentes have faith in his ability to protect and serve the Ordo, her members and her legal government against all enemies, foreign or domestic.

[18:16:23] Ron Bleac: What does this mean?

[18:16:50] Ron Bleac: Well, effectively, Flaks will be in direct control of all assets that maintain our daily security activities. He will be responsible for investigations into illicit activities within the Ordo and the removal of persona non grata organization wide, in tandem with Officium Curia.

[18:17:15] Ron Bleac: Don't be afraid to say Hi to him.

[18:17:24] Ron Bleac: Thanks! That's all.

[18:17:36] Aryte Vesperia: Excellent, thank you.

[18:17:38] Aryte Vesperia: Next up:

[18:17:45] Aryte Vesperia: > Promotion Exams

[18:17:49] Aryte Vesperia: As a general reminder, all personnel seeking to pursue elevation within the Ordo are encouraged to take promotion exams. Promotion exams are /minimum requirements/. As such, completion does not guarantee elevation. It is simply an effective way to note you are ready and willing to move up, by putting your name into a queue for consideration.

[18:18:32] Aryte Vesperia: Individuals who do not wish to complete exams certainly do not need to. It simply means you will remain at the rank you’re currently in. Furthermore, please feel free to take as many exams as you would like: you may take all of them, even if you’re an E-1. It’s perfectly fine to get ahead!

[18:19:17] Aryte Vesperia: As a side note, keep in mind as part of the minimum requirements, there are also time limitations. You can find all of these under the promotion menu on the Firefox database.

[18:19:32] Aryte Vesperia: Moving right along . .

[18:19:39] Aryte Vesperia: > OIC TISRP

[18:20:00] Aryte Vesperia: Big kudos to everyone who has been stepping up to the plate to hold OIC! It is great to see how quickly people have been racking up points. Please keep track of your time: click the board and let me know if you reach one of the thresholds so you may be rewarded appropriately. The first threshold is 75 hours—it used to be 50, but folks were getting to it too damn quickly! Haha.

[18:20:33] Aryte Vesperia: Again, if you notice you have reached a threshold (list here: http://forums.ordoimperialis.com/index.php?/topic/10326-ordo-policy-awards-qpprfs-and-special-rank-provisions-26dec11/) drop me a notecard or just nudge me.

[18:20:51] Aryte Vesperia: Unrelated to the TISRP, if you have an Ordo title . . . the merits for ‘em are complete. If you have not had it added to the database, nudge me for that too. It’ll automatically update your merit grid after it is added.

[18:21:21] Aryte Vesperia: Next up:

[18:21:23] Aryte Vesperia: > Sunday!

[18:21:35] Aryte Vesperia: Tomorrow is the last Sunday of the month. What does that mean? Free day. Casual attire approved as of 12:00 PM SLT. We will be relaxing for the day, but all business functions will continue. ART included. Have a good day off. :}

[18:23:13] Aryte Vesperia: On that note. I am going to sneak off and go eat. Meeting a little early today. :} Go use the time to kill things. Actually, stay alert on account of the ongoing combat in Badnarik.

[18:23:22] Aryte Vesperia: Please be sure to keep Titan secure, but feel free to go raid.

[18:23:29] Jeffery Worbridge: yeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyy

[18:23:33] Aryte Vesperia: Thank you all for coming. It was a great week.

[18:23:36] Aryte Vesperia: Dismissed.

[18:23:37] Aryte Vesperia snaps his fist to his chest, presenting a brief salute.

[18:23:39] Maverick Garfield salutes. May God lead us to victory.

[18:23:39] Zerowinged Vasiliev presents a clean salute, "Guardsman Vasiliev. . ."

[18:23:39] Drasamax Python salutes! "Fidelis ad Mortem."

[18:23:40] Jeffery Worbridge slaps his left arm across his chest and states, "Glory to the Imperium! Pro Patria."

[18:23:40] Kasumi Quartz salutes, " Ruhm zu dem Imperator"

[18:23:41] Tala Spingflower Salutes. :D!

[18:23:41] Azimuth Summerwind salutes!

[18:23:41] Disraeli Calderwood salutes.

[18:23:41] Corinth Resident salutes!

[18:23:42] Awanken Wasp thumps his fist against his chest for a salute "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit !"

[18:23:45] Riff Petrov salutes!

[18:23:45] Shizzerk Kostolany salutes!

[18:23:45] BurrWolf Qin salutes! "For the Glory of the Imperium!"

[Kellervo]

[18:16:50] Ron Bleac: Well, effectively, Flaks will be in direct control of all assets that maintain our daily security activities. He will be responsible for investigations into illicit activities within the Ordo and the removal of persona non grata organization wide, in tandem with Officium Curia.

GULAGS FOR EVERYONE. \o/
