<MGN_Burton> Greetings Imperial Officers and Citizens, and welcome to the 36th GE:ER Meeting!
<MGN_Burton> Official Rosters currently stand at 126 active Imperials, with an overall membership count of 891 officers...!
<MGN_Burton> As per usual, please do NOT message myself or other chanOPs with announcements until invited to do so...
<MGN_Burton> Unfortunately, Fleet Admiral Fel could not be present today. He has left a copy of his announcements with me, though, so here they are:
<MGN_Burton> Announcements from the Supreme Commander
<MGN_Burton> 1) GE Administration Fixed!
<MGN_Burton> Thanks to the efforts of Moff Jansen, GE Administration is back in working order. We have had a lot of difficulty with the hosting company, but we are working through issues as best we can. Please continue to report any troubles you have...
<MGN_Burton> 2) New Activity Requirements!
<MGN_Burton> In conjunction with GE High Command, I have decided that it is no longer adequate for the members of the GE to simply report in and remain on the roster, doing nothing...
<MGN_Burton> As such, in addition to the standard requirement to report in once per ten days, it is necessary that some other GE activity be done as well. These include, but are not limited to:
<MGN_Burton> SP Play (eg. Combat Chamber Missions; Main Campaign of a Game)
<MGN_Burton> MP Play (eg. ICTE, GE Ladders, Recruiting online for the GE)
<MGN_Burton> Taking an Academy Exam
<MGN_Burton> Completing a BCC or ACC
<MGN_Burton> Designing a Mission
<MGN_Burton> Working on Your Unit's Website
<MGN_Burton> These are just some of the most obvious examples that come to mind, but there are many more.
<MGN_Burton> We will have some understanding - you will not be sent to the reserves for missing a single ten day period, but your activity will be watched by your commanding officers. In addition, we have understanding for real-life considerations, such as exams and other commitments. In these cases, simply notify your commanding officer, and we will not hold it against you.
<MGN_Burton> If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to e-mail me ( fel@empirereborn.net ). Please note that the new requirements are effective immediately!
<MGN_Burton> 3) Increased Academy Graduation Requirements: Next Month!
<MGN_Burton> Starting next month, we will also have increased requirements for cadets who enter the Imperial Academy. While they will be more difficult than they are now, they will in fact be equivalent or even easier than the requirements under Grand Admiral Daemon. Full details will be announced next month!
<MGN_Burton> 4) Unreal Tournament: Troopers Debuts!
<MGN_Burton> The Army has introduced a new platform - Unreal Tournament: Troopers. This mod for Unreal Tournament 2004 is really well done, and is reportedly great fun to play. As an extra incentive to recruit officers for UTT, the first to get a new army officer to graduate from this platform will receive a Bronze Seal!
<MGN_Burton> 5) Outer Sectors II Continues
<MGN_Burton> Outer Sectors II continues on, with the next chapter coming on Thursday. Many of you have mentioned that scores are somewhat out of date - please be patient as Moff Jansen has been busy of late with the hosting company. Your patience is appreciated!
<MGN_Burton> That ends the announcements from the Supreme Commander. I believe Commodore Mar has the Commander of the Navy's news?
<CD_Mike_Mar> I do
<CD_Mike_Mar> -= Imperial Navy News =-
<CD_Mike_Mar> 1. Current Navy membership is 53 (-3) Officers, with 22 (-2) Cadets in the Academy.
<CD_Mike_Mar> --
<CD_Mike_Mar> 2. Outer Sectors II
<CD_Mike_Mar> Good work so far, there's been quite a bit of actiivty and I've been seeing FPRs flow
<CD_Mike_Mar> through my office quite regularly.
<CD_Mike_Mar> Remember, the most important points are gained completing missions during that given
<CD_Mike_Mar> chapter. Other missions should come second.
<CD_Mike_Mar> And if you're not in the lead now, there's plenty of time to make it up. The winner
<CD_Mike_Mar> is only decided in the last round, anything can happen!
<CD_Mike_Mar> --
<CD_Mike_Mar> 3. Imperial Archives
<CD_Mike_Mar> COL Longstreet is seeking help mainly from the older officers with history of the GE.
<CD_Mike_Mar> If you have any information regarding TCs, the Legion, Survey Corps and Recon Dep,
<CD_Mike_Mar> etc (dates would be nice as well) please pass it on so it may be recorded in the
<CD_Mike_Mar> Archives
<CD_Mike_Mar> In addition, if you have historical information (or even current) about your unit,
<CD_Mike_Mar> feel free to place it into the Archives for your unit!
<CD_Mike_Mar> -= IDMR News =-
<CD_Mike_Mar> - There's been a few updates recently, all of which are posted on the MBs.
<CD_Mike_Mar> I have another YOGEME update standing by, but I will likely hold that until I return
<CD_Mike_Mar> from my semi-LOA.
<CD_Mike_Mar> Due to that LOA, don't expect to see me much, but hopefully I'll get quite a bit of
<CD_Mike_Mar> work done.
<CD_Mike_Mar> -= fin =-
<CD_Mike_Mar> I am done with the Admiral's notes
<CD_Mike_Mar> General.
<MGN_Burton> Thank you, Commodore Mar. And now for my news as Commander of the Army.
<MGN_Burton> News from the Commander of the Army
<MGN_Burton> 1. The biggest news is the merging of the Brigades. Obviously, this was not an easy decision to make, but we made it nonetheless. The merger was made partly to ease the difficulties in finding competent unit leaders and also to provide Companies with more members rather than having them needlessly spread out.
<MGN_Burton> 2. The Army has a new platform - Unreal Tournament Troopers, which is a Star Wars mod of Unreal Tournament 2004. If you know anyone who has it, send them our way! The first person to recruit an UTT trooper gets a Bronze Seal, so get cracking!
<MGN_Burton> 3. Lieutenant Colonel Hennings submitted his resignation as Brigade Commander and has since been transferred to Viper Company as a Staff Sergeant. Colonel Nexant, the Brigade's previous Executive Officer, has been promoted to replace him.
<MGN_Burton> Commodore Mar, do you have Tactical Coordinator news?
<CD_Mike_Mar> I do, General.
<MGN_Burton> Then you have the floor again.
<CD_Mike_Mar> ---=== Office for Tactical Coordination ===---
<CD_Mike_Mar> Greetings Imperials.
<CD_Mike_Mar> The first TC Report as been released :
<CD_Mike_Mar> http://empirereborn.net/holonet/viewtop ... c15d746faf
<CD_Mike_Mar> Most of the stuff is right there. But I have some more to tell you.
<CD_Mike_Mar> I am presently investing a lot of time and effort into Empire at War. Not for map creation, but for modding and scripting. If everything goes well, I will soon release a new 'Installation' method for our EaW Combat Chamber missions.
<CD_Mike_Mar> Patch 1.05 is required and 'Steve's Ewok Mod' will be use as the official launcher.
<CD_Mike_Mar> One of those changes will be : Maximum population capacity increased (which is easy to do). Another (where I have mucho problemo) is that I want the name of the missions to appear on the screenshots you are sending.
<CD_Mike_Mar> In fact, I have already fixed those things. But the Master text File of EaW is huge and doesn't fill the size requirement of 'under 50k' to be added in the Combat Chamber. So I'm cutting out everything that is not needed from the Master File. I have spent about 6 hours on this and I still have about another 10 more to go.
<CD_Mike_Mar> --== Test Pilots ==--
<CD_Mike_Mar> I wish to announce the new 'Official Imperial Test Pilots' of the GE:ER
<CD_Mike_Mar> This team will be made of three Members. As of now, I have found two.
<CD_Mike_Mar> Captain Longstreet and Lieutenant Antillies
<CD_Mike_Mar> My thanks for your time and dedication, gentlemen. You will ear from me soon on this matter.
<CD_Mike_Mar> I am still looking for a third Pilot. If you talked to me about this in the past and I have not named you. Please contact me again by e-mail.
<CD_Mike_Mar> ---=== End of intervention ===---
<CD_Mike_Mar> This is all from my Office, General.
<MGN_Burton> Excellent, thank you very much.

<MGN_Burton> That's a question for Vice Admiral Jagged Fel.
<LT_Antillies> As I thought, thanks anyways
<CD_Mike_Mar> That was a nice meeting, General. Well done.
<EN_Falcon> It will float around, intil a gunboat with a mystery person shows up
<MGN_Burton> I suppose. Thanks.
<LT_Antillies> I concur, well done General
<EN_Falcon> good job so much news
<HP|Around> There was no trivia
<HP|Around> This upsets me
<EN_Falcon> for one person
<MGN_Burton> Sklib, I have a single question trivia.
<CD_Mike_Mar> I have the answer already. :p
<MGN_Burton> Who is the son of the father of the offspring of the paternal parent of Luke Skywalker?
<CD_Mike_Mar> R2-D2
<SL_Fewr> N-sync
<MGN_Burton> Hint for idiots: The answer is in the question.
<Xayun> Luke Skywalker
* MGN_Burton sets mode: +v Xayun
<Xayun> A WINNAR IS ME!
<Xayun> It's not hard to work out
<Xayun> He asked who's the son of the father of the son of the father of the son
<SL_Fewr> don't explain it
* CD_Mike_Mar is now known as Scimitar1
<Scimitar1> Time to fight!
<Xayun> Would it fry your fragile little brain?
* LT_Antillies is now known as Scimitar5
<EN_Falcon> back to ICTE
<MGN_Burton> I know he knows I know he knows. But he doesn't know that I know he knows that I know.
<CM_Jamie> Well to be fair, Anakin Skywalker has more than one child...
<Xayun> Except only one of them's a son
<CM_Jamie> As you said offspring for the second time.
<MGN_Burton> ^
<MGN_Burton> Yes, but either way, it goes back up.
* Ocih (~o@ool-44c25730.dyn.optonline.net) has joined #galactic_empire
