[13:06:35] <@FA_Polanski> Welcome to the 6th Galactic Empire, an Empire Reborn meeting! (please correct me if the number is incorrect!)
[13:06:53] <@FA_Polanski> As per usual, please do not message myself or any of the ops during the annoucements phase.
[13:07:04] <@FA_Polanski> < http://www.empirereborn.net/docs.php?page=irc >
[13:07:11] <@FA_Polanski> As per usual, I have the honor to start the annoucements.
[13:07:16] <@FA_Polanski> :: News from the Office of the Supreme Commander ::
[13:07:25] <@FA_Polanski> #1. Fleet Status
[13:08:20] <@FA_Polanski> I am happy to annouce that due to recent graduations and influx of cadets, the rosters are up to 101 active imperials, and 384 in total. This is a rise of 9 officers (active) and 14 in total. This is a great rise, and I hope to see it continue until the next meeting!
[13:08:50] <@FA_Polanski> In particular, I hope that you will be all be able to recruit during the OuterSectors Campaign, as many points are awarded for that purpose. More on this later.
[13:08:57] <@FA_Polanski> ---
[13:09:04] <@FA_Polanski> #2. Combat Ladder results
[13:09:54] <@FA_Polanski> In my interpretation, three combat ladders are worth awarding medals for during this session. Of course, all those who have won will have their multiplayer scores raised on the pages. I am awarding medals to the following:
[13:10:03] <@FA_Polanski> --: X-Wing Alliance :
[13:10:36] <@FA_Polanski> (1) Col. J. Fel - an IVC-BW (2) LC Vortagh - MoM (3) La Forge - MoM
[13:10:57] <@FA_Polanski> --: Jedi Knight :
[13:11:11] <@FA_Polanski> (1) EF Zwible - IVC-SL (2) LC Vortagh - IVC-BL
[13:11:17] <@FA_Polanski> --: Jedi Outcast :
[13:11:53] <@FA_Polanski> (1) Col. J. Fel - IVC-GL (2) JTL Dayton - IVC-SL (3) PFC Seppen - IVC-BL
[13:12:44] <@FA_Polanski> I would like to thank all those who took part in the ladders, for the activity is slowly on the increase. I am particulary happy to see activity on the JK ladders and also a little on the BF ones.
[13:13:19] <@FA_Polanski> ---
[13:13:42] <@FA_Polanski> #3. Tactical Coordinator Announced!
[13:14:52] <@FA_Polanski> As I do not believe I have mentinoed this in a meeting, I would like to announce that LC Vortagh has been appointed (Navy) Tactical Coordinator. For the time being, all simulations should be sent to him. This office and position is due for a small revamp in the near future, with an official namy change to reflect the overall work by this person.
[13:15:45] <@FA_Polanski> Please send all submissions to tactical@empirereborn.net for his review. They will then, if they pass, make it into the Combat Chamber. MoT's will then be awarded automatically.
[13:16:47] <@FA_Polanski> ---
[13:17:24] <@FA_Polanski> #4. Disturbing rumours!
[13:18:34] <@FA_Polanski> I have uncovered some rumours about some members of the club forming underground groups claiming to be official parts of the Empire... I'd like to make it clear that the official Empire is what is seen on http://www.empirereborn.net/ and if it is not listed there, it does not exist.
[13:19:32] <@FA_Polanski> At the moment I am hoping that given this annoucement, that the rumours will subside and will not go further, I will be pursueing anyone who is caught up in these sorts of undermining activity should any actual surface into the open. Please note, you have now been warned...
[13:19:53] <@FA_Polanski> ---
[13:20:01] <@FA_Polanski> #5. Outer Sectors News..!
[13:21:12] * Joins: Syndic (Syndic@dial-62-64-132-15.access.uk.tiscali.com)
[13:21:25] <@FA_Polanski> It's my great pleasure to annouce that the first chapter in our campaign will be released tomorrow. This chapter will entail a detailed simulation for the TIE platform, together with other orders for different parts of the fleet. It is our intention that the fleet responds to the story, and thus not everyone will have simulations to take part in each of the chapters.
[13:21:46] * Joins: PiruLaith (~PiruLaith@212.50.199.203.incapfurniture.fi)
[13:22:14] <@FA_Polanski> Please keep an eye out on the forums what relate specifically to the OS campaign; located at http://empirereborn.net/holonet/index.php?c=9.
[13:22:41] <@FA_Polanski> Most important is the wide range of activities you may participate in, please see the current listof scoring events on the annoucement forum.
[13:22:55] <@GEN_Jansen> a
[13:23:04] <@GEN_Jansen> lol sorry..:-)
[13:23:39] <@FA_Polanski> There is already one sub-competition being undertaken: Your task is to construct a Galactic Battlegrounds Simulation. The restriction of not using clone campaigns has now been removed...
[13:24:15] * PiruLaith is now known as CM_Laithlis
[13:24:21] <@FA_Polanski> A nice total of up to 25 points is available; and you have until March 15th to submit this... Good luck!
[13:24:35] <@FA_Polanski> ---
[13:24:50] <@FA_Polanski> #6. Roundup of smaller news
[13:26:00] <@FA_Polanski> The High Command were just recently discussing Republic Commando; we aim to evaluate this new game as soon as possible and it could see itself (if suitable) as a new platform in the Empire. Any comments regarding it is most appreciated! (Post on the messageboard)
[13:26:45] <@FA_Polanski> We will also in the near future be re-introducing Combat Medallions for squadrons - these are awarded for over all squadron simulation completion... keep an eye out for an annmoucement regarding these within the next 2 weeks.

[13:28:26] <@FA_Polanski> Just a quick message that if anyone knows of good websites or other ways to advertise our club, please take the necessary steps and contact myself. I am hoping that the current Campaign will attract many new recruits!
[13:28:27] <@FA_Polanski> ---
[13:28:45] <@FA_Polanski> That is all my annoucements for now, I wish to hand over to Vice Admiral Fel for news from the Navy....
[13:28:47] <@FA_Polanski> Admiral Fel ?
[13:29:44] <@VA_Fel> Thank you, Fleet Admiral... But you've mentioned all my announcements for today already. :-)
[13:30:06] <@FA_Polanski> Understood... Moving on then.. General Jansen - news from the Army?
[13:30:23] <@GEN_Jansen> Just one Admiral..
[13:30:31] <@FA_Polanski> Please continue :-)
[13:30:40] <@GEN_Jansen> In the up coming weeks, there is going to be a need for Raider Company to be opened again. It will be a JA platform company.
[13:30:49] <@GEN_Jansen> Anyone who thinks they can take on the burden of command, send applications to myself at COA@Empirereborn.net and COL Fel at darkjedibob13@yahoo.com.
[13:30:55] <@GEN_Jansen> Having JA is a plus, but not required. Must have completed and passed the Army Officers exam at the academy to qualify.
[13:30:57] <@GEN_Jansen> --
[13:31:03] <@GEN_Jansen> That is all..
[13:31:10] <@FA_Polanski> My thanks!
[13:31:40] <@FA_Polanski> Please do apply, as leading a unit is the first stage of becoming a command officer, and in the future the need and opportunity for these sorts of people should be vast..
[13:31:57] <@FA_Polanski> If anyone else has annoucements, please message me now, else we shall move into open disucssion..
[13:32:39] <@FA_Polanski> A few messages from Line Captain Wedge...

[13:32:54] <@CL_Wedge> Thank you Admiral. just a few short ones
[13:33:06] <@CL_Wedge> 1) AWOL Check Results - We've recently completed an extensive AWOL check aboard the Nemesis. Though we have lost a few people becuase of it I am fairly sure we've cleaned out most of the MIAs in preparation for the Outer Sectors Campaign.
[13:33:10] <@CL_Wedge> -
[13:33:35] <@CL_Wedge> 2) Gimel Flight Leader Position Open - Due to the recent departure of one of flight leaders, Lieutenant Daltin is now accepting applications. Only active persons need apply. those interested can conntact Lieutenant daltin at ChrisDaltin@hotmail.com
[13:33:53] <@CL_Wedge> that's all for this week.
[13:34:01] <@FA_Polanski> Many thanks!
[13:34:25] <@FA_Polanski> As no one else has messaged me, I'll un-moderate the channel and go for some open discussion...
[13:34:26] * FA_Polanski sets mode: -m
[13:34:51] <@FA_Polanski> Anything anyone would like to ask ?
[13:35:16] <@VA_Fel> Bear in mind most of the Outer Sectors data is still classified.
[13:35:59] <@CL_Wedge> And leaking classified information will get you shot, or thrown out an airlock. Or both. :P
[13:36:20] <@VA_Fel> Yes, but do we shoot before or after you're out the airlock... hmmm... why not both? :P
[13:36:31] <@GEN_Jansen> Both..:-)
[13:37:23] <@CL_Wedge> Not such a bad idea. Admiral Polanski, I'l like to nominate Admiral Fel for the Temporary Duty Assignment of Chief of Torture and Other Unplesant Things. :)
[13:37:30] <@CL_Wedge> *I'd
[13:38:19] <CM_Laithlis> That's... TDA as CoTaOUT :P
[13:38:23] <CM_Laithlis> Quite a title
[13:38:31] <@CL_Wedge> Pardon my spell, I finnally broke down and bought a new keyboard so I could use the v key again. unfortunately this one is slightly different in style and key sensativity, so I'm not quite used to it yet.
[13:38:50] <@VA_Fel> So can we call you "Vedge" now? :P
[13:38:59] <@CL_Wedge> No. :P
[13:39:10] <CM_Laithlis> I know what you mean, Wedge. That's why I still use a 12 years old keyboard on my own comp :P
[13:39:18] <@CL_Wedge> Not unless I can call you Vice Admiral Viberious Vel. :P
[13:39:22] <CM_Laithlis> I type at half the rate at best with this one I'm not used to :P
[13:40:13] <@FA_Polanski> My keyboard batteries keep playing up ;-) and my wireless mouse has broken that goes with it.. :(
[13:40:22] <@VA_Fel> No "o" in Tiberius, Wedge. :P
[13:40:24] <@CL_Wedge> Actually I'm getting quite speedy with this one, which is pretty good since I bought it last night. It is similar to my older Keyboard, but this one just seems to be a bit more compact and it's throwing me off.
[13:41:08] <@CL_Wedge> Tomato Tomato, Admiral. :P
[13:41:50] <@CL_Wedge> Of course It's not the keyboard I'm smiling about, it's the P4 3.0 GHz system it's attached too. :D
[13:41:52] <@VA_Fel> Except the difference is pronunciation, not spelling. :P
[13:42:34] <@CL_Wedge> Okay, I apologise. Viberius <-- Better? :P
[13:42:35] <@FA_Polanski> Well, if no one has any pressing issues to talk about, I guess we'll wrap the meeting up :-)
[13:42:43] <@VA_Fel> Only slightly. :P
[13:43:14] <@CL_Wedge> Well seeing as the talk is mostly centered around keyboards at the moment, I'd say it might be a good idea to end the official log before we get on a truly wacky topic.
[13:43:56] <@FA_Polanski> My thoughts exactly....
[13:44:13] <@FA_Polanski> My thanks to all those attending, although I think the motto for next time is "Bring a friend"...
[13:44:21] <@FA_Polanski> Until the next meeting!

[13:44:44] <@FA_Polanski> (official log closed, you may continue your keyboard chatter)

[LC La Forge]

Looks good. About how many people were able to make the meeting today?

[Syrtaras]

Playing devil's advocate again: Where were the "many important announcements" you promised, Fel? :P

[Wedge]

La Forge: 14 or 15, I believe.

[Vortagh]

That must have been the shortest meeting ever. :P

Syrt: [13:29:44] <@VA_Fel> Thank you, Fleet Admiral... But you've mentioned all my announcements for today already. :-)

[AD Polanski]

Wasn't very long no...

and the ladders will be reset once I have recorded the results into the DB...

if i ever get my chinese done (and the OS things that need to be done today!)

[Vortagh]

Wouldn't there be a way to get this done automatically?
As in it enters everything for you, gives you a "report" on a page and you just select (drop down menu) the medals for the first three places (if any)?

[AD Polanski]

There's a module yes, I need to check it over (or else we might "LaForge" the data again.... )
I will do it soon enough

[Qorl]

Just to add to the announcements in the meeting.... The windows button on the keyboard is plain evil.

[LC La Forge]

Yay! I'm a verb now.

But actually, I looked over Ladders Management when you said you would be reseting them just to make sure nothing bad happened.

[Vortagh]

Maybe we should create a GE dictionary? Most of the words in there would deal with La Forge! :P

"bunk - see La Forge" :P

[LC La Forge]

I'd be up for a GE dictionary; that'd be fun.

[Vortagh]

Could be an interesting project, but it'd be a lot of working digging out all kinds of words for it.
Like "pull a La Forge" will be known to everyone, but what about other, older things? Very few people will remember them, so at the end all the work will basically go to a few people (again).

Allthough, we could just add something like this to the database.

[Jagged Fel]

Yeah, now there's something useful we can use the Archives for

Speaking of which, I've got the meeting log on there too, cleaned up a bit.

[Vortagh]

Well, then let's start it.
La Forge can add a point for it, we will add more entries together then :P
