EH Directorate
Report #2
4.20.2002 - RA Keldorn
The Emperor's Hammer
Directorate Office of the Grand Moff of the
Emperor's Hammer Territories. Membership General News/Announcements The first week of my term as
Grand Moff has now passed, and was rather hectic to put it mildly. Many
different projects have been begun, completed and revised over the course of
this short period, along with the removal and appointment of members to
positions throughout the Directorate. I would also like to reiterate that I am
always open to any suggestions or complaints any of you may have regarding every
aspect of the subgroup, thus please feel free to approach me on IRC, the message
board or at gmf@emperorshammer.org. The first matter I will address
is the removal of the current ranks system, and the replacement of a new system
based on titles of an aristocratic nature. This new system will work like a
traditional promotion system, except that all titles will ultimately be bestowed
by myself, but with any member of the Directorate entitled to recommend
any other, or even put themselves forward for a promotion. The full details of
this new system can be found in the revised manual at the Directorate domain. I
will continue to say that there will be no automatic transitions between
the two systems, therefore the vast majority of members will begin without any
titles, except those positions that warrant the bestowment of a title. This may
seem harsh, but it permits me to identify those really interested in the
Directorate, and reward them thusly. The only barrier between a promotion will
be ones own activity, if you're active, and your superiors note it, you will
be entitled for a promotion to the next title. The aim of this motion is to draw
away from the military cloning that we may have observed in the past, and to
heighten how we are a government organisation, and thus, positions are more like
the traditional ranks system (which is also addressed in the revised manual).
There will undoubtedly be many questions you will have relating to this, thus
feel free to reply to me, or to reply to the revision thread on the Directorate
Message Board (http://www.ehnet.org/mb/mb.php?action=topics&forum_id=6&days=7).
During this period of integrating the new titles system into the Directorate
Roster, some of you may experience bizarre titles on your profiles, I apologise
for this as Minister Crusader is in the process of modifying the current coding,
while Minister Boris and myself will make the relevant modifications over the
next few days. The Directorate Manual has also
been renamed to "Governor's Dispatches" and has been heavily revised,
reflecting the changes in the title system, modifications on the award system
and an updated section relating to the various positions within the Directorate.
Once the subgroup is back into the swing of things I will also begin
establishing a 'committee' of individuals from throughout the Directorate to
further expand and develop the Dispatches, displaying the information that the
average member would like to know. I have also decided to appoint a
new Deputy Grand Moff. After much deliberation, I have decided to appoint
a fresh face to help me in the revival of the Directorate, and this face comes
in the guise of Nyssa! This most talented lady has been aiding me in my
exploits with Conquest over the last weeks, and has been a constant source of
ideas and experience that I hope will reflect in her future work in this new
capacity. Another new appointment in the
form of former Regional Governor Yellek to the position of Phare System Moff!
SMF Yellek has a wealth of experience in command posts, and has worked with me
before, thus I have high hopes for the Phare System and wish the new System Moff
the very best of luck! As per the request of the Grand
Admiral, work has begun on the redesign and revision of the Emperor's Hammer
System Manual. Throughout this project we will be working extensively with the
Imperial Senate in this expansion and revision, which should prove an enjoyable
task. Any questions relating to this should be addressed to myself
(gmf@emperorshammer.org) and Chancellor Slegr (chs@emperorshammer.org). Minister Boris' roster revision
is currently in progress, and will decrease our active numbers rather
considerably, but will be clearing dead-weight and permit us to concentrate on
the rebuilding of the Directorate. Ministry Council
Reports/Announcements Minister of Indoctrination
Report (20/4/02): Minister Boris Not too much again. The roster
update is about to commence, I should be able to do it in less than a day. I'm
also gonna run a competition titled 'Design a Flag!'. Try and guess what that
is, I bet you can't manage it :P. I think that's about all. I'll
have more to say next week, trust me :P. MoI/CZ Boris/Gondor Base Minister of Communication
Report (20/4/02): Minister Crusader This week I have gotten the site up and
running totally and then we got all these new changes in from Keldorn and I had
to do it again :P Most of it is up and running, the outside is totally except
very few amount of things which I know about, and the admin needs to get a
makeover to work with all the new stuff. I am going to be making a branch off the
site, so that PGs or SMFs or HMFs can login and create a site for their section.
It will be off my coding and you would be able to select colors and get a logo
in and it will have a news script and a roster and a place for RGs to maybe have
a few options in there. You will have the choice to either link to your own site
or make your one off mine, so that everyone can have a site and itll be cool
when I get it done. Its on my to-do list but its not at the top so it might be
awhile before this actually gets functioning :P DIR Site:- http://www.directorate.org/ Im off to play JK MoC/ADK Crusader/Gondor Base Alpha Territory

Reports/Announcement None submitted at this point. Directorate Competition
Details No current operations at this
point. Epilogue Another rather extensive report
from my Office this week, and hopefully I have succeeded in explaining the intricacies
of the new titles system. My thanks are extended to Minister Crusader who has
helped me dramatically in his integration of the new system into the current DIR
Roster, good job! I have written to every Planetary
Governor so far, and over the course of the next few days will be writing to the
System Moffs and High Moff. Once this is completed, the details and consequential
expectations of reports from all the realms of the Directorate will be released,
and hopefully upheld :) Respectfully submitted. Rear Admiral Keldorn
