Membership

General News/Announcements

My utmost thanks are extended to Grand Admiral Ronin and Sector Admiral Astatine for appointing me as Grand Moff of the Directorate, and to Fleet Admiral Karva for recommending me as his successor, I look forward to serving the Directorate and Emperor's Hammer in this role. My thanks are also extended out to former Deputy Grand Moff Attom for his work, and I hope he will remain with us as Adjutant to the Grand Moff for some time to come. I will be upholding Attom's act of appointing former Grand Moff Karva to an advisory position of Grand Moff Emeritus and would also like to congratulate FA Karva on his appointment to the High Court as an Inquisitor.

Due to Archduke Attom's resignation, the position of Deputy Grand Moff is vacant, and will remain in that state until I see fit to appoint a replacement. I will not be calling for general applications at this time, but anyone is more than welcome to send in their ideas relating to the position, as well as any general ideas for the Directorate.

Over the next few weeks I will be evaluating all the areas of the Directorate, looking at the skills and talents displayed by all members from Ministers to Surface Marshals and therefore some minor organisational changes may be drafted for the memberships approval and input. I will also be upholding one of FA Karva's final act of a no-tolerance system, and establishing a simple 'points' system concerning the reports and work of senior Directorate members...It may seem harsh, but if reports are not filled by certain individuals in a timely fashion, I may remove them and open up the posts for applications from throughout the Directorate.

As those of you that frequent the Directorate IRC channel will know, I have been working into reintroducing the game 'Conquest' to the Directorate. This is progressing steadily and we are gradually ironing out the various bugs and problems we've been experiencing, and if all goes to plan we should be releasing the new improved version 2.05 very soon. Any talented individuals who have an excellent knowledge of PHP are more than welcome to offer assistance, and could earn themselves an award for their help. 'Conquest' should be online and fully playable by Tuesday, but will be in a state of "peace" while further development of the Warfare options is continued. The new development of Diplomacy is also progressing well, and my commendations are extended to Prefect Ares of the Hammer's Fist for all his work on this project.

Thanks to Dark Adept Corran Force from the DB, the Directorate site now has new hosting that actually supports ASP, and therefore the DIR site is once again online and functioning appropriately. Thanks also go out to Ministers Crusader and Boris for their current efforts in completely updating the Directorate Roster.

I'll also be taking the time to look over the current Awards system for the Directorate, and making relevant amendments and improvements where the need arises, with the hope of re-establishing the system as an effective collection of rewards for the membership of the subgroup. This may include the addition of one or more new awards. Stay tuned.

I can assure you  that you will all see the Directorate gradually returning to full activity once more, and hopefully even more than that as I get settled in, and start running some ideas past the Ministry Council and yourselves. All messages are welcome, whatever they are regarding, and feel free to bug me on IRC (Our channel, #EHDIR) about anything that you might feel the need to.

Ministry Council Reports/Announcements

Minister of Indoctrination Report (13/4/02): Czar Boris

Well, not too much yet. The AWOL check is concluded and I am compiling the results and creating a new roster. I'm also working on getting the Core Exam back online and running a competition. The Academy and MoI site should also be up shortly. And Haztix Vel is my Adjutant :P.

Minister of Communication Report (14/4/02): Archduke Crusader

Well the Directorate site is back up for all you that don't know! http://www.directorate.org works again! I was going to wait for Boris to give us a real roster with all of you in the right places but instead I decided just to let it be. He will update the roster when you send to him where you all want to be. It is important. If you don't say anything he will throw you where he wants.

For the coding part of this while I updated the DIR site to work with the new server and changed the access levels around a bit for easier administration. The real coding hasn't started yet but it will now that I have a server to code on.

The Directorate Message Board has died down inactivity. I encourage you all to go there and post! Its awesome! But I'm not going to be there as much as I used to because I'm diving into my coding all over the place.

If any errors are found on the directorate web-site it could be because of the new hosting I don't know I haven't ran into any yet there might be a file that I never updated, if you get an error send it to me at cruney@minister.com and Ill look into it and get it fixed ASAP.

Planets, Systems, Territories they should have sites. That would be nice. Sites Sites Sites. Especially planets. I want some of you to tell me what you think about this

Do you want to all have original sites made by you? Or do you want to have each planet their site ran off my coding? or do you want the choice? You can get a MoP for making a Planet web-site.

Epilogue

I apologise for the sparseness of the other sections in this, my first report as Grand Moff. But that is the reason, this is my first report and thus is an example of how I plan to set out all following reports, next week, I will have relevant information in every section hopefully making this a little more interesting to read :) Any suggestions regarding the layout of this report are also most welcome, and can be sent to me at keldorn@ehnet.org.

Respectfully submitted.
