VA Obiwan Appointed Logistics Officer:  09.15.04
As Submitted By:  Fleet Commander (GA Ronin)

Logistics Office

The Logistics Officer (LO) handles distribution of important Fleet Communiqu�s to the Members of the Emperor's Hammer.  In addition, the LO acts as Chief Archivist for the EH and is responsible for maintaining duplicate copies of important Clubs files, newsletters, manuals, etc.  As chief archivist for the Fleet, the LO is responsible for hosting/posting the Newsletters .

As much considerations, the Fleet Commander has decided upon the appointment of VA Obiwan as the new EH Logistics Officer (CS-11).  VA Obiwan is already busy at work planning a schedule for our 10th anniversary celebration for January 2005.  I am sure VA Obiwan will do an excellent job as the new EH Logistics Officer as well.

Congrats !

Commendations of Loyalty:  09.07.04
As Emailed From:  Operations Officer (AD Foley)

(Please see Operations Manual for Medal descriptions)

Here we go, the final list of Commendations of Loyalty. First, congratulations to all of those who earned CoLs this time around. It's one of the medals that is the hardest to earn and only comes around twice a year, so it is an accomplishment. Now for the usual things I have to say. First, you will notice many repeats of recommendations. If a Tie Corps pilot was recommended twice for a CoL from the Tie Corps, an Imperial Advisor, or a Command Officer, he will only receive one CoL on his profile. If a member was awarded a CoL from the Tie Corps and from the Dark Brotherhood, he will receive both. If a member was awarded a single CoL from a subgroup, it will not be placed on his Tie Corps profile, only on that subgroup's profile.

Let me also mention that I am truly disappointed with this round of submissions. Participation from Command Officers was barely anything. Many subgroups couldn't find the time to send in a single recommendation, even though they were allowed to have ten! Many of the e-mails I received had no PINs, and didn't have the proper title. Simple directions that weren't followed. Also, many Commendations of Loyalty were awarded outside of the chain of command. I won't point out individuals, but if you see the list below, you'll be able to tell the circumstances there. Let the FC, XO, and in their absense, myself recognize high-ranking officers who have contributed to the EH. Let BGCOMs recognize COMs and WCs. COMs and WCs should recommend at a maximum 2 of their CoLs to CMDRs. In the best-case scenarios, only one from each wing should go to a CMDR. CoLs in the Tie Corps should have FLs and FMs heavily populating the list. This medal isn't just about recognizing achievement, it's about recognizing achievement by those who would normally not get recognized with such a prestigious medal. Many subgroups awarded CoLs solely to command staffers and high-ranking officers. This is disappointing to say the least. I will expect a much higher quality list of submissions the next time around or I simply won't accept them.

And now the list.

AD Motti Figures for Sale on EBay:  09.03.04
As Emailed From:  Richard LeParmentier

Dear FC:

Richard LeParmentier here

I am selling two unique custom Motti figures on ebay.

I'm having Spat and Albin market them at DC as they are cool figures. They are on ebay at the moment under Admiral Motti.

There is a custom retro figure unsigned but will be signed when sold and will include the Japanese tour sticker from the 2001 Vader Motti tour. This is the only one in the US and I would expect $150.00 - $175.00.

The other one is a Motti/Vader double pack custom on blue card made by the Norwich UK Collecting club for Dave and I.

There are only four left and only two signed by both Dave and myself.

A double pack with just my signature got $175.00 at Wizards Philly this year.

I would really appreciate it if you could alert the Garrison as I'm sure there are enough collectors out there who might want to bid.

All the best,

Richard

MadHatter Resigns as IWCOM:  09.27.04
As Emailed From:  Former IWCOM (MadHatter)

Infiltrator Wing

<Salute>

Esteemed Officers, Shipmates, and Friends....

There comes a time that one must put their responsibilities into perspective. The past few weeks I have been trying to juggle a new promotion at my RL job, numerous other duties, as well as be a good leader to the IW. It isn't working. The time that my new position in RL takes is now demanding more of my time, and it would be unfair to the IW to have me continue to struggle with the task of trying to be successful at them all. It is at this time that I announce my retirement in all of my EH positions.

As much as this hurts, it must be done. Thank you to those who supported my role as IWCOM, I could not have done it with out your help. I hope to return sometime to play an active role in the IW again, so, save a line spot for me. ; ) To those new to the IW.... keep active, have faith, and have fun and you will go far.

Good luck to you all, and may you prosper greatly in your EH careers.

As my last statement, I wish to recommend Rear Admiral Daniel Hanson to be assigned as the IW Commander. Hobbie has done a very fine job of leading the MC-90 Renegade to a solid state of activity, and doing everything in his power to make the group fun for the members. He would be a great IWCOM, and he has earned it.

Sincerely,

~Vice Admiral Mad Hatter~

GMF Orzon Promoted to Admiral:  09.23.04
As Recommended By:  DGMF/RA Wil Striker/MC-2/Gondor Base

(Please see Training Manual for Rank descriptions)

Greetings FC and XO,

I approach you today on behalf of the EH Directorate to recommend a promotion to the rank of Admiral (AD) for our esteemed Grand Moff, VA Orzon. My reasons are listed below.

Since, and even before, his appointment as GMF, VA Orzon has been instrumental in managing the affairs of the Directorate. He is active every day, by email, IRC and AIM to consult with all members. He handles matters quickly and without delay whenever possible, and constantly pushes his officers in the Ministry Council and Territories to be as active and involved with the Directorate as he himself is. It has been a very long time since the Directorate has had such an active GMF, and VA Orzon continues to build up the momentum of the Directorate with each passing day.

Under his management as GMF, the Directorate for the first time has a training academy that includes online exams, which has greatly cut down the turnaround time for grading to 12-24 hours. Under his guidance I have been able to personally help him in seeing the completion of many projects, including the exam automating at the CDGI. In addition, the simulation platform "Diplomacy", formerly knows as Supremacy, is nearing completion. The final draft of the manual, all 70+ pages of it, are being drafted by the MoO, LEG Lammoth at this time. Fortunately the revisions to the final draft are pretty minor, so the GMF and I expect to see the final version of the Dippy manual within the week. In addition, LEG Lammoth is working on the final parts of the Diplomacy gaming site. The demos I've seen of the site so far are very encouraging, and all together things are moving along much faster than VA Orzon and I had hoped with regard to getting Diplomacy released this year. :)

I'd also like to point out that thanks to VA Orzon's leadership and continued guidance, the DIR now has 5x as many members as it did when he first became GMF! New recruits continue to pour in every week, this past week alone we had 7 new recruits join, and 5 of those have already completed their training and are already assigned and active within the Territories. All in all I am very impressed with how quickly VA Orzon has managed to turn things around in the Directorate, and for the first time in two years the DIR is very close to finally having a website and database to brag about. Even after RA Monsh resigned due to RL circumstances several people, myself included, jumped right in and picked up different parts of the project to help move it along. At this time we have a fairly new member that is working on completing the admin coding and database interface so that we can bring the new database rosters and profiles to life! The DIR has never been this close to having a completed website and database in the past two years, and this is an area that VA Orzon has continued to remain diligent in to ensure it gets done.

I can't fully express how pleased I, and many others, are with how VA Orzon has worked as GMF. We've had our share of disappointments from previous GMFs that promised so much, but delivered so little. In the time that VA Orzon has been GMF he has accomplished far more than he even thought was possible, and continues to plunge forward each day to see that things stay on track and are accomplished. It is for these reasons, and many more that are too numerous to mention, that I recommend a promotion to the rank of Admiral (AD) for Grand Moff Orzon.

Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.

[SALUTE]

Directorate Minister of Communications Needed:  09.11.04
As Emailed From:  Grand Moff of the EH Territories (VA Orzon)

EH Directorate (DIR)

The Directorate is currently in need of a Minister of Communications. As the Directorate Manual states:

Minister of Communication (MoC, MC-5): The Minister of Communication is in charge of all the communication aspects of the Directorate. This includes the main Directorate web page, the Directorate Message Board, and the Directorate IRC Channel. He is also responsible for approving "official" Directorate web sites.

Currently the Directorate has somewhat of a site built. The template is there, but the rest must be done. We need all the coding for Administration, rosters, news script, etc. Done. The old Minister of Communications step down leaving us with what he has completed. The only stipulation about coming aboard is keeping the current template. It would be ideal if the Minister of Communications would continue to serve until he no longer has the ability to...so that when we have updates, etc., they can be dealt with.

If you are interested or have any questions please contact myself at ma4sbwithu@aol.com. I can also be found on IRC in the #ehdir channel.

XO Report #40:  08.29.04

I've had a review session of the current batch of Command Officers and have decided that some have deserved some sort of award. They are listed below in no particular order:

Grand Order of the Emperor (GOE) to COO/AD Sarin - for his exceptional service as COO to date, including the high placings of the EH in recent WoW events.

Admiral (AD) to TO/VA Drako - for his consistant service as Training Officer and IWATS Dean so far.
Admiral (AD) to SDIR/VA Aseret - for her consistant work in running the EH's intelligence services
Admiral (AD) to GM/VA Gelton - for his work in turning the Dark Brotherhood around, organising a new vendetta and other items.

Well done to these four people. I'm hoping we can see more of this sort of thing in my reports in the near future.

On the topic of reports, it seems time for another gentle reminder about reports. Reports are to be completed weekly. The report is to be emailed to all other COs (CS+SGCOMs) plus posted on the TIE Corps site too. This is a core duty for all CO positions. I almost always use the reports posted on the domain when reviewing COs for awards and so on, so it's really in a CO's best interests to make sure their reports get on there. If, for some reason, you haven't been able to post your reports, please let me know so we can get it sorted out.

The position of Logistics Officer is open for applications. You can check out the requirements for this position at http://www.ehnet.org/mb/viewtopic.php?t=3499 Make sure you carefully read the requirements before applying.

The three competitions I'm running will finish at the end of this month, so you've got only a few days to get your entries in. All the competitions are fairly easy and could be won by literally anyone in the EH. The URLs to the competitions are at the end of this report.

There are three (3) new surveys on the TIE Corps site, relating to member's intend towards Freeworlds, Jump to Lightspeed and Star Wars: Battlefront. Simply login on the TIE Corps admin section and you'll be place your vote. Somwhat related to this is Knights of the Old Republic 2. There's a new trailer out that showcases the new world of Telos. The trailer is about 6megs and is in Quicktime format. You can get it from the official site.

XO Report #41:  09.11.04

It would seem that some parts of the EH are going through a phase of rapid improvement in terms of activity. We're seeing this with the recent WoW events, where the EH has placed well in a range of platforms. Freeworlds is also also picking up speed in the TIE Corps and seems well on the way to being a viable platform. Well done to those who did the ground work for this, as well as the members who have participated and made it happen.

The three competitions I was running have closed and the winners awarded. I'm now running two new competitions:

� Design a webmail skin - Design a web mail skin for the email software I'm running. More details>>>

� Design a logo - Design a logo or banner for the web hosting service I will be offering to EH members. More details>>>

Both competitions are open to all members.

I've made a number of slight changes to the TC and DB sites. The most beneficial is the change to the competitions listing page, where there is now a "paged" listing, allowing members to browse all competitions.

Another reminder about the surveys on the TIE Corps site - there are three open about game platforms. Currently there's about 180 responses, I'd like a lot more. To do them, just login.

Caller: Complete and utter silence.........

FA Cyric reporting in for the Flight Office on 8/29/04

Not much to report this week for the Fleet....

Sometimes you get thrown a bone, and sometimes you are the bone, and well, this week I've been the bone, slammed in RL......

First off congrats to RA Stuart in being named the new COM of the ISD Challenge.

Next--please remind everyone that when requesting AWOLs or MIAs in the database to include how long they've been inactive. I generally use this to determine if they should be removed, or moved to the reserves.

IMPSTORM V is slated to begin on September 8th. Check the WO website for more info!

FO Tasks

All complete except image reconstruction. If taken baby steps in terms of helping with image of the fleet as a whole. After 9/7/04 I will have much more time to devote to this.

Discussions for JTL have been ongoing, albeit a little slow lately. This will also be a priority for me after next weekend.

Freeworlds is progressing. I ask everyone to remember that this is in its six month TRIAL period, so be patient as we are still working out the kinks so to speak.

That's it from the Flight Office...

In Service....

Flight Office Report #48:  09.03.04

<salute>

A slow week for the Tie Corps!

IMPSTORM V is set to begin on September 8, 2004. BGCOM's get your rosters etc in to AD Pel ASAP!

The Star Wars original (before the prequel) movies are FINALLY being released on DVD and slated to be out Sept 21st. Amazon.com has a 4 min trailer for it and it is pretty amazing, the extras they've included. They've also added a sneak peak for Episode III and its making. They didn't go into much detail on the trailer, but you'll have to get the DVD boxed set to see it. Amazon has it for $41.00 USD

SWG:Jump to Light Speed is slated to be out September 24th. There have been minimal discussions up to now on its implementation to the Fleet. GN Compton, we need to get this rolling!

A few things about roster changes and requests:

#1) Everyone please try to remember that the Database has an automated removal feature, so CMDRs, WC's etc can request automatic removal of pilots. It makes it easier, and the DB can send mails out with the reasons etc.

#2) AWOLs--Don't just request a pilot be awoled. I like to see how long they've been inactive, if their e-mail address is working etc. This does make a difference as to where I remove them to, either Reserves, or simply just remove them. Reserved pilots can access their profiles etc while removed pilots need to contact me directly to be reinstated and to change things on their profiles.

#3) When requesting things to the Flight Office for changes etc, please remember to include the pilots Pin numbers. This makes things so much easier to handle. Many pilots don't go by the exact names they've chosen when they first joined, so it makes it that much more time consuming to locate them, and if there are several other pilots with the same name, then I need to go by e-mail addresses....So use the PIN numbers!

FO Tasks:

Everything has been completed..Save for the image of the fleet. With the inclusion of FW and eventually JTL, these platforms thrust us into the new arena of MMORP games thus giving us a new facet to our club. In the next few weeks I am going to think on this some more and get better ideas.

Flight Office Report #49:  09.10.04

<salute>

Fleet Admiral Cyric reporting in on 9/10/04 for the Flight Office and the Tie Corps...

First I'd like to congratulate LC Turr for being named the new WC for Wing VII!

IMPSTORM V Has begun. Check out the war office site at http://waroffice.minos.net for more details. This is a massive war game held for members of the TC pitting BG against BG.

I've processed quite a few new recruits into the system. There isn't one specific platform they are choosing, so there should be an influx of new SL's coming to our ranks.

I'd like each BGCOM to send me a revised list of squadrons in their groups that are in need of SL's so I can update the cadet pages on my website http://flightoffice.minos.net

I also need to touch on the transfer protocols I revised a while back. These protocols are for transfers dealing with ship to ship and squadron to squadron. Squadron CMDRs don't necessarily need the BGCOM's permission to change their squadron around or move members within the squadron, however the BG SOP's should be followed, and if the BGCOM requests that he is made aware then make him aware!

For the TIECORPS news section, if anyone has anything they'd like posted, send me a mail with what you want posted up there and I will get it done.

All in all another slow week, no problems that I've heard so keep up the good work. I expect that IMP STORM will bring some activity to the fleet, so have fun!

In Service.....

Flight Office report #50:  09.17.04

FA Cyric reporting in on September 17,2004 for the Flight Office

Well my 50th report as Flight Officer! I look back at this minor milestone in reports, and take quick stock of my duties.

Through my tenure as FO, I've closed a few ships, some agreed some didn't, closed a few squadrons, reopened a few more. Processed countless recruits, reorganized some of the TC structure, and attempted to make it a more enjoyable place for the pilots. Have I succeeded in handling my duties responsibly? Well I'm still here :)

I look at this time as FO one of the most exciting as we've picked up two relatively new concepts for the TC both set in the MMORPH genre, Free Worlds and Jump to Light Speed. Free Worlds saw the opening of the ISD Predator, which came a shock to many, however, it is vital for the experiment that we call Free Worlds and our track in to the MMORPH. Yes there are many who may have done it differently or done it "better" however, it is working and a few naysayers have changed their tunes a bit.

Jump to Light speed is on the horizon. I am hearing fantastic news about the game, though much of the juicy details are [edited] out due to some silly "keep your mouth shut provision LA deemed necessary. JTL will pose many challenges for the TC as it will actually cover two SG's with in the EH. There is also opportunities to fly different class ships in the game. It could open different flying categories for the TC, but I'll have to investigate more before any thing else on this is said. We are looking at all possibilities for the TC in regards to JTL and once the Beta is done and the game released, we will know more.

AD Protons Sovereign Squadron League comp is in its final round:
Here are the battle assignments for the Finals of the 2004 Sovereign Squadron League:

TIE-TC 67, The Siege of Maltar
XvT-TC 57, Mai in Danger
XWA-TC 12, Imperium Deception

Deadline is midnight Friday, Oct. 1.

Important note: Send your results to the division coordinators as usual, but ALSO CC: Proton AT hullbreach@gmail.com. I haven't heard from the division coordinators for more than a month, so if necessary I will need to compile the Finals results -- and I can't do that unless you send your files to me.

As always: Good luck to all pilots! :)

AD Mell should be undergoing Surgery by the time many of you receive this. Good Luck Mell!

AD Mell is also looking for applications for WC of Wing X. The standard requirements are in force.

IMPSTORM has completed turn six, with three of the four BG's holding planets, with the ASF being shut out. The War Office site http://waroffice.minos.net has all the juicy details.

Also of note is the TAC office has been very busy fixing bugged missions and releasing a few. Check with the news page for these details.

AD Reaper is tracking reports, so if you get a "where's your report" letter from me, make your excuse a good one :)

As always my "e-mail" door is open to any and all that need to talk or have any questions.

In Service...

Flight Office Report #51:  09.24.04

<Salute>

FA Cyric reporting in for the TC and the Flight Office on 9/25/04.

A fairly slow week for news. Star Wars has been released on DVD. The Features Diskette is very cool. Plus there is a behind the scenes for Episode III. Doesn't give up much, but looks to be a very cool movie.

For the TC alls fairly quiet on the battle front. Free Worlds seems to be doing very well, with the EH apparently in the forefront in confrontations etc.

JTL, I have just been invited to the Beta testing and have been in minimally. Can't go into detail, but it does look promising.

Just a note on behavior within the Messageboards and Mirc. I am encouraging every member to keep a high level of decorum within these forums, against other members and especially when dealing with Command Staff. While you may disagree with some ideas, whole sale arguments and disparaging remarks against CS in a public forum will be dealt with in the swiftest of manners as well as the HCI being notified. Do not try me on this, as it WILL be handled judiciously.

That's all from the Flight Office.

TO Report #8:  09.04.04

First off I'd like to thank the FC and XO for elevating me to the rank of Admiral and to congratulate the SDIR and the GM their promotions. Also big congrats to the COO who was awarded the GOE.

Other big news is that the first class of the Top Gun academy is in its midpoint. I'd like to announce names of the Top Gun instructors, cos I didn't do it so far:
- GN Kaerner
- MAJ Tek Selkirk
- CPT Rax Von-Klug

Pilots taking part in the training are:
- COL Nightmare of Avenger Squadron
- LC Alec Qarni of Scorpion Squadron
Like it was announced before - IS-PW or IS-GW are waiting for them.

It is a trial class and that's why only two pilots are taking part in it. Also there appeared some problems which will have to be solved before the next class is started. These problems are also the reason why I've extended the said 2 weeks of training to ONE month.

I would like to congratulate our pilots who took part in recent WoWs. This great achievement - winning WoWs on both platforms - asks for a recognition for these pilots.

The coding for the Imperial University project is going forward. I will change the name of this institution to Imperial Academy to not to interfere in the Imperial University existing in the Senate.

That's all this week.

TO Report #9:  09.18.04

Sorry about that. I sent it from the database and I didn't expect it'll look like that. Here's a fixed version:

At the very beginning I'd like to thank AD Alex for reccomending me for the CoL award. It is my first CoL since year 2002, so it has a great meaning for me.

[New TOA and EH Library renovation]
CPT Werdna has resigned as the TOA last week. Because the Training Office has many projects to be completed and I'm not able to do everything myself, I've chosen a new TOA - Baron Slowbacca. His PHP skills as well as experience gained in the BHG will for sure be a great support for me. His first task will be a renovation of the EH Library, created by me long time ago. The new layout and some coding were already done so I hope for a quick completion of this project. It probably will use an ELS system and after it is done, the Library will become a part of the Imperial University.

[Imperial University progress]
Works on the Imperial University, which is being builded on planet Ullyr, are progressing faster than it could be expected. Last week's transport of workers and technicians speeded everything up. Thanks to Baron Slowbacca from the BHG, who has delivered some communications equipment, our main computer has been linked to the Citadel. I'm still upgrading the XML parser and adding new features. In the future all training facilities in other subgroups will be connected with this one in the same way. Also, I've decided to change the project's name. Since now it will be called the Imperial Academy. This change will prevent mixing it with the Imperial University existing in the Imperial Senate's body.

[New rule for competitions is coming]
Like I have announced shortly after my promotion to the Training Officer, I'm going to require a RP background for both - flying and non-flying - competitions (except trivias and some other which I will specify later). I still won't enforce that rule for some time but you should start getting used to it. You can expect me start denying comps which don't follow this rule within a month.

[Competitions dating reminder]
Competitions can't be longer than 3 (three) months. After that time they must be resubmitted. Not properly dated comps will be denied.

[CA:TO spot info]
CA:TO position is NOT open for applications and I'm not planning to open it anytime soon. So please stop bugging me on IRC about it. It's getting annoying.

[Articles of Training]
These articles are a list of rules for the TO staff as well as for all EH members. I've written them down to prevent misunderstandings and complains about the Office and its staff. Document has been sent to the FC and XO and is waiting approval.

Operations Office Report:  09.01.04

Kudos to the six or so persons who have submitted their Commendations of Loyalty lists to me. For all of you other procrastinating people, send them in!.

ALL recommendations must have the subject heading: "CoL Recommendations" or they will be ignored.

Recommendations are due September 4th, 2004, at Midnight Eastern Standard Time. No late awards will be accepted.

Operations Office Report #43:  09.20.04

News:

Good lord it's been a while since I've done one of these. Sorry for the time lapse, but there really hasn't been much going on lately. On a side note, September 11th marked my One Year Anniversary as Operations Officer. To all of you doubters, that goes to show you that I am capable of actually holding a command position. One year down, three to go until Howie's OPS reign is unseated.

Freeworlds! I had fun for about a week, but now that all of our bases have been taken away, the game has lost its luster. So, I went and ordered Battlefront. Expect to see me online. Maybe I can run a dedicated server off of the university connection. Mmm.

Brucmack is still nearly double the amount of medals ahead of the second-place leader with over 1400 medals. Will someone try and catch him?

Not seeing as many custom uniforms lately...keep them coming please...

Tempest is, as always, accepting squadron patch submissions for uniforms. Contact him for design specifics. Odin submitted a rather nice on this week.

New medal recommendation requirements were posted this week to EH.net. I will start enforcing them immediately.

Medal Recommendation Requirements:

All MSE medals MUST include quantatative data, such as battles completed, multiplayer activity, IWATS completed, communications activity, and medals awarded to the pilot in that month.
I will no longer approve a MSE medal if it doesn't include the medals awarded to the pilot that month and at least the general purpose of that medal being awarded. I want to cut down on double-awarding. Please note that what I'm specificially looking for are competition medals, web design medals, and things along those lines.

Competition numbers must be included with every Iron Star medal recommendations. There are no exceptions to this rule.

No merit medal may be awarded for any competition.

Commendations of Bravery are to be awarded immediately after a pilot completes 30 missions. Any pilot who does so may request their CMDR to award this medal. This is not out of line, it's just making your CMDR aware that you have completed the required number of missions.

So, the ideal medal recommendation would look something like this:

Medal: Bronze Star of the Empire
Awarded To: CMDR/CPT Forrest Gump/Alabama/Wing X/ISD Virginia
Recommended By: COM/LT Dan/ISD Virginia
Reason: Battles Completed:
XvT TC 24, 25, 26, 27, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46

IWATS:
IBX, M/1, AMP, MP, M/2, WM, CBX, and ICQ

Communications Activity:
AIM, IRC, MB

Multiplayer Activity:
[FW] FreeWorlds TE II
[FW] FreeWorlds TE III
[XvT] 24/7 9/14

Medals Awarded:
MoH for efforts in combat over the past six months.
IS-GW for winning the Battlegroup Ping Pong Championship.

CM Forrest Gump has been a great commander. He flew many battles this month as well as took many IWATS. Unfortunately, he has to step down as commander due to RL in the next week or so. For all his activity and for his work as commander, Forrest deserves a Bronze Star!

Another stellar month from one of our best CMDRs. He accumulated 476 points in Top Dawg and that is a great achievement in itself. He maintains all his regular CMDR duties in a timely manner and is one of our best. Run Forrest Run!

Confidential: False

Please stick to a form like this. I know it takes a little bit longer, but I have yet to deny a medal that itemizes activity like this.

Notable Awards:

CPT Zeth Durron received a Gold Star for doing the 3D modelling for the Imperial Alliance datapad project of the Science Office.

LT Nom Anor earned a Silver Star for his excellent efforts during the XWA Week of War.

CM Andrelious J. Inahj earned a Silver Star for being all you can be in Wing VIII.

Task Progressions:

Medals public relations/promotion of good works
See above.

Coordinate with Subgroup Commanders the upgrading of subgroup uniform systems
As far as I can tell most of the subgroups are pretty much dead. I think they have other issues to work on besides uniforms. I was happy to see that the DB has a fine Lightsaber design script in place. Very easy to use.

In line with the above point, look at porting TTT to other subgroups
Tempest is more than willing to make a program for any subgroup that comes forward. Just mail him!

Investigate the coding of an online version of TTT
This goal has been phased out, and will not be completed.

More regular processing of medals and online presence
Despite a recent thread on the message boards caused by a brief leave of absence, medals are still being approved rather quickly.

God doesn't require us to succeed; he only requires that you try.

RO Report #50:  09.10.04

<Salute>

Greetings! I'm happy to report that my hiatus from the Recon Office duties has come to an end. I finally have internet access at my house and I am able to resume my duties. I'd like to thank the powers that be for the time and patience for me to get over this unexpected problem. Thanks :)

Now, down to business. I just emailed Richard LeParmentier a few moments ago requesting an e-mail interview from him in the near future. I'll inform you on his answer by next week.

I have a few more things up my sleeve but I need a week to get organized.

Now, on to SW News..
------------------------------------------------------------

***Lucasfilm Confirms SW TV Series***

Yesterday TFN was up in Los Angeles for the DVD press day sponsored by Lucasfilm and Fox Home Entertainment. We are pleased to announce that Lucasfilm confirmed officially a Star Wars television show coming in the future. They didn't comment on setting (post-Episode III or post-Episode VI we would guess)or release schedule (we expect Fall 2006). Either way - this is coming for sure!

***Lucas Interview Summary from PBS***

We love Deron. He just hooked us up with the most comprehensive summary of a television show in TFN history. Here's a close look at George Lucas' interview that ended just a short time ago on PBS:

  George Lucas appeared on Charlie Rose�s PBS show last night. Mr. Lucas spent the entire hour with Mr. Rose and covered a wide range of topics as Mr. Rose usually does. There wasn�t a lot of information that hasn�t already been covered, but there were some highlights that I found interesting.
The show began with clips from the Star Wars Movies, as well as some shots form THX1138. The conversation moved to the fact that George has only done five films in thirty-five years. George explained that after his divorce he spent his time raising the children. He was semi-retired from directing.
  A return to the childhood was the next topic. He explained, as we have often heard him, that he was an underachieving kid. However, his parents had faith in him, his father even said that he would be a �late bloomer�. Of course he touched on his love of cars in his youth. When Mr. Rose got to the college years there was an interesting revelation for me. It was not until his junior year in college that he became interested in film. Once in film school at USC it was a class in Film Appreciation that made him look at life. It also got him interested in the storytelling aspect. Thought of himself as a photographer and illustrator. 

  The conversation then jumped to the American Graffiti era. American Graffiti was in his words going to be a documentary on the mating habits of American teenagers. The story of how everyone would get together and sort of parade around for the opposite sex. Only at this time they were doing this in their cars. When it came time to screen AG studio executives said it was unreleasable. In fact they were ready to move it to being a TV movie. But after several months of further screenings the execs decided to release it.

  Mr. Rose then talked about the direction Star Wars has taken George. In fact even asked if Star Wars had diverted him from his original path. George said it was actually THX that had done that. THX got him the opportunity to do a feature. He didn�t expect to stay on the feature path, but American Graffiti afforded him the opportunity to do Star Wars. He wanted to do a �Hollywood Movie� with sound stages, costumes, make up, everything. Wanted to tell a modern myth in the style of old mythology. George said that Westerns were the last mythology in the late 50�s and early 60�s but they weren�t being told anymore because current culture had changed the mythology.

  He went back to storytellers around a fire. How values and expectations were passed form generation to generation. By passing along wisdom in the form of a story, it is more easily learned, rather than being in confrontational form. Stories weren�t being told anymore. That is where George wanted to come in with Star Wars, like the Saturday morning serials. You could see some and miss one but still have the story. That�s why we came into star Wars at Episode 4.
George went on to say the Star Wars was the first of three and he was determined to get the other two films done. Charlie then talked about Peter Jackson and doing all three LOTR films at the same time. He asked if the Star Wars influence help in getting them done. George replied probably not. It still was probably a tough sell.

  The conversation then went back to Star Wars and getting it made. George saying that Star Wars was �experimental� at the time and Alan Ladd Jr. took a risk in letting him do it. But Mr. Ladd said that he was investing in the talent not the film, in part because he didn�t understand the film. This segued into George�s influence on the technology of filmmaking. He said that the artist will manipulate the situation to get what they want, to get the vision made. Art is technology, but art is a human endeavor. Art is expressing emotion. He used the example of seeing a rose and then trying reproduce the rose to give someone else the same feelings you had when you saw it. He likened filmmaking to painting frescos. You have the artist in the front, but then you have this enormous support group behind the scenes, mixing the paint and making sure it dries properly.

  Star Wars returned to the topic at hand again. George said that he didn�t like 75% of what HE saw when star wars was done. When the opportunity came to revisit them and make what he called very minor changes, he jumped at the chance. He was very happy with the film after the changes. Then he went on to talk about the creation of Yoda and making him believable. He couldn�t tell the warrior part of the Yoda story because the technology just wasn�t there. He needed more storytelling power. The technology portion of things was ending up when Charlie asked about George�s place in moving technology forward. In talking about the change from photochemical to digital imaging, George said, �I will get a footnote mention in the discussion of the change from photochemical to digital photography�.

  Charlie again went back to weather Star wars had kept George from doing other things. George said that he wants to do other movies, but that star wars is ALL consuming. He is now being released from that obligation. There will be NO MORE, there no reason to do more! He said he has some things lined up. A film on the Tuskeegee Airmen that he has been trying to get dome for some time. TV shows, he loves TV as a medium. Also to go with the Young Indy DVDs, he�s working on 100 documentaries dealing with historical people and places in the Young Indy series.

  He also talked about where he was in his life with regard to doing things. He can do things now without any input from a studio. He can do it and sell it, if someone likes it and wants to buy it, fine. If not, that�s fine as well. Talked again about how the Star Wars $$$ went into Empire, which went into Jedi���.

  Charlie then moved the conversation to how he shoots. George said he likes to shoot for about sixty days and then come back later after having looked at the film and shoot for an additional ten days or so. He likened it to doing a sketch and then layering on the color to produce the final painting. During this portion of the conversation he also talked about Francis Ford Coppola and their relationship. George said in the beginning it was more mentor and mentee, but now it was more family, older brother, younger brother.

  Charlie then went in an odd direction and asked if George thought the two presidential candidates should get together and watch Star Wars because of the lessons to be learned. George said that everyone should go back and read these same messages that Shakespeare touched on. Power and understanding what to do with that power. He goes on to say that is all about education. Math and Science are the how, but humanity is the why. We need to teach more humanity. To go off and do something with the how and not understand the why is foolish. You can go through history and find example after example of that. Here�s the how but we don�t understand the why. People who are going to lead should read some of the great literatures.

  Finishing up, George was talking about his Educational Foundation. It helps to facilitate high technology in schools. They then make documentaries on how this technology is being used and how it works for the school.

It was a good hour to watch, and it went by very quickly. If you have a chance to catch it, you should. Check your listings. Some areas may be off by a day. I believe those in the Dayton OH area may be able to catch it on Think TV14 on Friday.

***A&E Airs SW Documentary SUNDAY***

  A&E is airing a shortened version of the new documentary on the upcoming Star Wars DVDs. We've seen it, and while it is definitely just the tip of the iceberg of the archival footage, you wan't want to miss it!
  A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, George Lucas launched the most successful movie franchise ever created. We look at how the "Star Wars" trilogy changed movie-making, catapulted Harrison Ford to stardom, and made director George Lucas a legend. For Lucas, what began as a quest for creative freedom became a philosophy, a cultural phenomenon, and an empire of dreams. Features film clips, screen tests, and interviews with Lucas, Ford, Steven Spielberg, Mark Hamill, and Carrie Fisher.

RO Report #52:  09.26.04

<Salute>

Greetings! Time for the Recon Office Report, 52nd Edition. ;)

First up, how many of you have seen your new glorious trilogy more than twice already? Yeah that's what I thought. :P So have I.

Apparently so have most of the other fans out there. The Star Wars trilogy has broken major records as well as Star Wars Battlefront for sales in a single day. Around $115 Million if I remember correctly. That's a LOT.

I haven't gotten to the bonus disk, someone tell me how it is.

Now, as far as SW Battlefront PC version is concerned, The Force.Net has reviewed it and that piece is below. I did not have the install problem like a lot of people have had, but I did have some playing problems such as the maps are too small, the controls for the fighters are really screwed up and hard to control, and there are way too many players for that small of a map. But besides that, it's fun and I'm still getting used to it.

Anyways, on to other things. I'm still waiting on an email interview. I'm surprised it hasn't been returned yet (half the reason why I was late with this report).

I've fired off an email to LucasArts about a fan booth for the EH for Celebration III. The booth is free of charge but I will need people to man the booth. It's a four day event, so if your going to be there, LET ME KNOW! It will probably be a two hour "Tour of Duty". More on that in later reports.

***STAR WARS NEWS***
===========================================================

**TFN Reviews Star Wars Battlefront**

Many people have been looking forward to Star Wars: Battlefront as much as KOTOR2 and even more than Republic Commando. Finally Star Wars will have a worth Battlefied game to compete with other classics. But does the game live up to the hype?

I am a veteran player of almost all the battlefield games. Operation Flashpoint is considered near-perfect in my world. The graphics are not as flashy as the newer games but the game play is awesome. Battlefield 1942 is more "arcade" but the maps have a good balance of cover, open field, and strategic points.
When I realized that Pandemic was also involved in making the great (but too short) Full Spectrum Warrior, I was really hoping for a similar game that would require squad level tactics.

Installation
Unfortunately, SWB got off to a VERY bad start with me. The installation process did not go well and in fact, had it not been for another player on the LucasArts forums, I would only be writing an article on Battlefront Installation problems.

The first time I tried to install the game, I got a Wrong Label error. I tried to put another disk in the drive and click continue but the installation just stalled the computer. I shut down the computer and restarted.
On the second attempt, I finally got to the last CD but the install hung while trying to copy yav1.lvl in data5.cab . It seems a lot of other players are having the same problem as well. I first tried to copy the contents of Cd#3 to my harddrive so I could install that way but data5.cab will not copy. The file on the disk is corrupted. This is not looking good for LucasArts. I am hoping this is not going to be another "creative decision".

A temporary fix is to close out of the installation, then open the game directory and find the Battlefront.exe file (not the BFLaunch.exe). Create a shortcut to this file on your desktop and the game will run. However, I do not know what files are missing from the rest of the data5.cab . The more permanent fix is to take the game back for another copy. Let the retailers know that some of the disks are corrupted and to expect some angry fans. I am returning my copy to Wal-Mart this afternoon and will try to reinstall using (hopefully) a non-corrupted copy of CD3.

Using the temporary fix, I was able to play the game for several hours. The game menus have a cool 3d angle to them and I jumped in Instant Action. My first mission was Hoth (as Imperial). I played as the AT-AT driver, relentlessly marching to Echo base. Speeders screamed by and stupid Rebels on Tautauns tried to attack me in vain. The main cannons are very slow but nothing survives a direct hit. The graphics in the vehicles are not very exciting but the joy of crushing friend and foe under my giant vehicle's feet made up for it.

However, the data display does have some issues. LucasArts, please allow us to read data in numbers, not health bars. The action is too fast and it is often too difficult to scan your health, the health of your vehicle, and your weapon status. Some fans may like the bars but give us a choice to use percentages or something else with numbers on them.

This is the same issue on Multiplayer. We don't like bars to determine the ping. There is no indication what 2 bars, 3 bars, 4 or 5 bars actually mean for ping numbers. If 50 or less represents 5 bars, that would be good information to know. Again, how about the ability to change all bars into raw numbers. The multiplayer menu also needs a filter. The first servers to show up are all 1 red bar. I don't want to see those servers. The lack of a filter in the game does not affect gameplay so should have been an easy task to complete. This appears that the game was very rushed and expected items with a lower priority were never finished. Also, turn up the FPS in multiplayer. The 15-20 FPS cap is irritating a lot of players. Multiplayer is going to keep your game on the market for a long time (just look at Half Life).

One of the great things from 1942 was the size of the maps. Yes, it made for long treks by grunts to hike the trail to the battle (that is why you always found a ride) but it also made the game a lot better for air units. Far too often in SWB, I was threatened for desertion for leaving the battlefield because my Tie Fighter or Droid Fighter went straight for a short 5 seconds. The maps need to be larger when air units are involved.

I have bashed the game around a bit but is it fun? You bet. But let me put a caveat on that statement (if you play the right maps). Some of the levels are great (Endor, Tattooine Desert, Naboo-Theed, Geonosis) but some are quite boring (Kamino, Naboo Plains) and others are both (Hoth, Kashykk). I played Endor this morning and enjoyed racing the speeder through the forest at top speed while dodging trees, rocks, Ewok traps, and friendly units. The Endor map works because it offers cover for troops but also open area for vehicles. The map is not large but walkers and speeders don't need the room like TIEs and XWings. The best vehicle has to be the Republic's LAAT. They are a lot of to drive but the firepower will make your droid opponents scatter. My favorite character has to be the Droideka. The shield generator allows for extra punishment and the cannons make short work of most Clonetroopers that get in the way. However, the droideka shield should be a little more powerful (one grenade should not destroy it) and the arms should be moveable up or down to fire down on units over railings.

Conclusion
The game does not have a polished feel to it. It seems rushed out the door to match the DVD release. I am going to play the game and I am very hopeful that LucasArts will:
1. not release a game again with this many problems
2. give Battlefront priority and not delay fixes because they are busy on KOTOR2, Galaxies, Republic Commando or Mercenaries
3. Quickly give the SWB fans the tools to modify and improve the game.
They will also need to tweak some of the units in the game but this is expected. Grenades do a lot of damage. The rockets launcher is too accurate for its strength. It should be affected by gravity a lot more (like the bazooka in 1942).
With all the issues with the game and the quirks of the display, I would have to give the game a C+. If LucasArts quickly gets on the ball and puts out an update for the health bars, the multiplayer menu, the Multiplayer FPS, better maps for air units and cover for ground troops and replaces those corrupted disk 3, this grade could easily be a B+ or even a A-.

Dark Jedi Brotherhood Reports:
As Emailed From:  Grand Master of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood (VA Gelton Torr)

The Dark Brotherhood of Jedi

Vice Admiral Gelton Torr
Grand Master of the Dark Brotherhood

GM Report #12:  09.03.04

1. Biggest news this week is probably the resignation of my Deputy Grandmaster Keldorn Cochrane. He felt that the growing duties in this RL job were too infringing on his duties as DGM. Therefore he decided to step down and give someone else a shot at the position. I want to thank him for the work he did during his term as DGM and wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.

2. With Keldorn's resignation I am in need of a new DGM. In the past days I had various conversations with a few people who I considered qualified for the position. I have now reduced my list to two candidates who I will present to GA Ronin and SA Astatine in a request for approval mail as soon as my lazy mail service is working again. You might ask why I send in two candidates. Pretty simple, the RoS is standing on my doorstep and I need a new DGM as fast as possible. Hence I will submit two candidates just in case my first choice gets denied so I don't have to resubmit my alternate choice which would take extra time.

3. My TC persona was promoted for my work as Grand Master in the past two months to the rank of full Admiral. Many Thanks again!

4. As the Headmaster already wrote in his report last week the position of Obelisk Trainings Pontiff is open for applications. So far no one at all applied for it . Since I consider this a very important position I put this in my report here in the hope to reach a greater audience.

The Obelisk Trainings Pontiff is in charge of mailing the Obelisk Initiates on the list, invite them to start heir training, offer them help and in the end grading their Phase II test. Since there are quite a few on the Initiate list now and fortunately there are still more joining almost every day, this job involves a lot of mailing and constant attention. Whoever will be the Pontiff he will be the first member those Obelisk Initiates will meet in the DB and therefore he needs to be polite, patient and well informed to make a good impression on them. His work can decide if an Initiate will end up active in a Clan or become a roster corpse on the INT list.

Due to this importance of the position the HM and I agreed that the Obelisk Trainings Pontiff along with the other two for Krath and Sith will work under the joint supervision of the Headmaster and me the Grandmaster. That includes unlike the other Pontiff positions writing a weekly status report to both of us about how many Initiates have been mailed, if there was a reply and what their status is.
I know a lot of work for seemingly a mere Pontiff position but it is an essential part in getting the DB new active members. Rest assured if the job is well done adequate rewards will be handed out by me and the Headmaster. Anyone who is member of the Obelisk Order can apply to HM Daniel Goad via mail.

5. Having spoken about the job of a Trainings Pontiff I want to adress the matter of recruitment people into the Clans and Houses.

There is for once the matter of recruiting from other Clans,to which I have become more and more witness in the recent past. Although it is not right out stated as forbidden no attempts should be made in that direction since it only endangers the peace between the Clans and causes bad blood. Therefore I hereby announce that Inter Clan recruiting is henceforth officially to be considered taboo and whoever will be accused of it will have to explain himself to me personally.

For the other there is the Initiate recruitment by house and clan members. This would be under normal circumstances no problem and encouraged . But with the membership count of some of the Houses right now these are no normal circumstances. In order to ensure the survival and the future growth of the low member houses the flow of the Initiates needs to be tweaked a bit. The job doing so have the above mentioned Order Trainings Pontiffs , one for each Order. They are ordered to be neutral and to neglect the affiliations and interests of their houses and have to try to convince undecided Initiates to join low member houses so they finally can start building a member basis again. However if an Initiate knows exactly where he wants to join he of course can do so.

I know every house wants to get new and more members and wants to be the biggest house of the Order or the DB but having only a limited amount of Initiates at our disposal there are Houses which are in more need of new members than others. In times like these the Clans and Houses should show solidarity with each other and don't envy each other every new member. So you master recruiters from the big Clans step back a bit from the INTs that have already joined and let the Trainings Pontiffs do their job.
Of course outside people who haven't joined yet are still free prey to everyone.

6. All recommendations for the DB CoLs are in and wait to be sent out by me to the OPS. That will be done, you guessed it once my mail account is back in action.

7. Due to the current unavailability of my mail account, this report won't be sent over the DC and Clan Summits list as usual right now, but when I can send mails again.

<CENTER>~ Competitions ~

Due to the resignation of Keldorn some of the RoS preparation tasks given to him have been reassigned. But I don't expect any delays due to that so expect the RoS happening in about 2 weeks from today. Some Clans already have started to hold trainings sessions to prepare their members for the big event, good initiative from the respective Consuls.

As for progress work has now also begun on the Obelisk materials for the RoS. The website is also work in progress now done by the HM instead of the DGM. A new and extented set of plotline/background/descriptions has been sent by me to the DC for comments. More updates in my next report.

<CENTER>~ Projects ~
As usual the complete task list for my position, updated where progress or changes were made:

Grand Master

- Implementation of the Action plan
- Vendetta in the next 3 months
- Sort out varies issues as outlined in the action plan

A) Vendetta:

As already reported above preparations are under way and progress has been made. Updates about the Rite of Supremacy will be done every week until its commencement and beyond that until it's over.

~ Grand Master's Acknowledgements ~

This week I want to acknowledge HM Daniel Goad for volunteering so quickly to take over the RoS website creation from Keldorn.
~ Tau Squadron ~

Welcome to a new section of my report. Here in the future I will write about news and events concerning Tau Squadron. For all who should be unaware of the fact, Tau is the DB Elite Squadron and my personal Bodyguard. They are exclusively focusing on MP Flying and are taking part in events like the WoWs. In the past the ties between Tau and the DB have loosened and it was considered more and more a sole TC elite squad. In order to bring Tau more back into the fold of the DB I decided to give it a higher profile in the DB such as this section in my report. There are other ideas to bring Tau back more into the conscience of the DB but those are still in the discussion between me and the Tau Commander GN Kaerner.

This week I have only one news item about Tau but an important one. Sith Warrior Brian from House Ronin a.k.a Tek Selkirk and member of Tau has placed first in the latest WoW on the individual ladder. With that he already won a WoW the second time in a row ! Masterfully done, my congratulations and acknowledgement.

GM Report #13:  09.10.04

Greetings Grand Admiral

As Requested:

GM Report #13 dating 9/10/2004

News:

This will be a rather short report for my standards since I am in the middle of the last preparations for the Rite of Supremacy and it's started to get really hectic.

So my only news post this week is as you probably all know by now that I have a new Deputy Grand Master. It is Sith Warlord Drak from Clan Scholae Palatinae. Why I chose him and none else I already elaborated in a news post but I will put it in here once more:

"There is yet another appointment today I can anounce to you. It is the appointment of my new DGM. I now got both approvals from the FC and the XO so I can present you my choice now. It is former Sith High Warrior SWL Drak, the first one after the Split.

Some of you including the DC itself might ask "Why not one of the current DC?" Well in order to prevent that I have to answer the same question over an over again, I will share my thoughts with you here. The reason is the upcoming Rite of Supremacy. All DC members who would have come in question for becoming the
new DGM are so involved in the preparations of the RoS and working on their assignments that moving them and replacing them with someone else only would have caused major delays and it would have become impossible to hold the intended deadline. Since the RoS is the most important project above all else
right now I decided to keep all current DC members in their places to ensure no break in the work flow.

Now others again might ask "why no Consuls?" Well as some of you know I had a Consul in mind for the job but that didn''t work out. As for the others, they are way too much vital pieces for their Clans to be removed at this point of time , again , because the approaching of the RoS, without hurting the given Clan there.

So why Drak? Well, also here the RoS played a role. I knew I needed someone who already had DC experience and knows how the ball bounces there, since I wanted someone who could start working on the RoS and the EoF right from the start and didn't need time to get his directions first. As SHW Drak already organized comps on order level and created an IP system on the same level. So doing both now on DB wide level was in my opinion just the next step for him. He also was only a BTM until now so I hadn't to pick him out of the leadership pyramid where he would have left a hole to fill. Those were my main reasons why I
picked him, I hope that clears matters for most of you up.

I am confident he will do an excellent job since I already had the chance to work with him on the RoS in the past days and we make good progress there in important sections."

He already even has submitted a report. Yay for my new DGM!

Competitions:

1. The Rite of Supremacy is coming and it's coming soon. In order to finally give you an idea it is September 17th ... +/- 2 days, so let's say somewhere around the weekend after this one. I can't give you any more exact dates since there are still some parts missing and it is outside my influence as to when exactly they will be available to me.

2. In the past days Drak and I finished general description, background, history bits and location descriptions. The only fiction part that is missing still is the Rite Intro itself on which I am writing myself for two days already and which I hope to finish over the weekend. Apart from that we were able to hammer out a scoring system we deem fair that will be shown to the Order Leaders for review over the weekend. The general events are nearly finished. With the Order Leaders doing a finishing sprint we probably will be
able to kick the RoS off on the 19th at the latest.

3. The sign up for the DIE tourney is still up and now there are also sign ups open for the JO/JA tournament that will be featured in the RoS. All Orders can sign up but the DIE counts as Krath event and the JO/JA Tourney as Obelisk event so remember non order people only can earn 50% points for the Clan scores. So Clans get your Krath and Obelisk into those events. Specially since Drak and I decided that people already get points there for the Clan scores if they sign up and take part in the first round no matter if they will win or loose there. One more reasons why Clan members who want to support their Clans in the Rite and aren't signed up yet for any event should rush to the sign up sites now and do so.

Tau Squadron:

My ideas for a new relationship between Tau and the DB still seem to be discussed with in the squad since I haven't heard anything from Kaerner yet. As soon as I know more I will tell you.

In other news MAJ Tek and GN Kaerner has been awarded the Iron Star - Gold ribbon and silver ribbon, respectively for good placement in a fleet-wide XO comp.

There also has been a new pilot accepted to Tau: Sub Lieutenant Akisne Obinashu. Trusting Kaerner's judgment she will make a fine addition to my bodyguards. I hope she will also join the DB soon.

Grand Master's acknowledgements:

This week I want to acknowledge my new DGM SWL Drak. The work he did on the RoS in the past week was invaluable and should the RoS start in time without delay next week, he will have played a good part in it.

In Respect

I want to use the opportunity to remind you as requested that Ast is in full and only charge of the DB database so roster dumps can solely done by him not me.

GM Report #14:  09.17.04

~ News ~


1. This week as the last week I almost solely concentrated on the preparation of the Rite of Supremacy. I had hoped to bring you good news in this report, that it is done and has started, but it didn't work out, I have to report. However not all is lost since only finishing touches are missing and therefore I am sure that I can anounce the beginning of the RoS in the next 48 hours meaning until September 19th. So prepare yourselves Clans.

2. With the RoS looming I now engage the transfer ban between Clans. Only exception are transfers due to appointments in order to fill leadership gaps in Clans and Houses. Transfers from and to Rogues as well transfers from Initiates from the SA are unaffected from that and can happen as usual. The ban will last until the end of the RoS at the end of October.

3. Consul Domi of Clan Arcona has chosen a new ProConsul. It is Guardian Archon former Quaestor of House Ronin. Congratulations on the appointment.

4. The Headmaster Sith Battlelord Daniel Goad has been elevated to Sith Warlord due to his performance has HM and before that PCON of Alvaak. Furthermore for his extra work he has shown so far in preparing the RoS.

Congrats Dan! Well deserved!

5. The Master at Arms Rebelkiller was granted the permission by me to elevate himself to the rank of Sith Warrior due to his consistent , fast and reliable work as MAA over the past two months. Congrats DT! Well deserved!

6. Thanks to Ace my report maker is now able to create a plain text version parallel to the already known HTML version. This one I can send out now over the mailgroups etc without causing garbled report mails anymore.

~ Competitions ~

Still dominating topic in this category is the RoS and that will probably continue for the near future. As I said above we - the DC and I - weren't able to finish it for today but it is almost done. So you see how close it really is I will list what still needs to be done:

- Sith SP Missions are currently tested by the DGM and the SHW and I await their report any hour.

- The message board structure for the RoS needs to be setup. Yes I have decided to let an own message board for this competition to be created, which is directly linked to the RoS main website, so all events that need an MB can be easily accessed and are in one place together. Other than in earlier competitions of this size where the different boards were sprawled across the whole regular EHMB and were sometimes hard to find.

- Ladders need to be created on the COO Ladder site for all events that need those.

- J`Lek has problems to upload the last pieces of code for the DIE site to start fully working. But he is working on that in doubleshifts.

As soon as the first three points are done the RoS will start. Since the DIE Tournament is in a way an independent event it doesn't matter if it starts synchronous with the rest of the Rite.

The Sign ups for all three Order Tournaments are lasting until Sunday no matter when the Rite itself will start now. So this is the last call for anyone who still wants to take part in any of them.

~ Grand Master's Acknowledgements ~

Once more I want to acknowledge Acey for creating almost in the blink of an eye the extra feature in my report maker. A detailed RoS cedit list will be put by me in my next report. I actually already prepared it for this report in case the RoS would have started but so it has to wait until next week.

~ Tau Squadron ~

Tau Squadron already has yet another new member accepted into its ranks. It is Lieutenant Nom Anor. At this point I want to welcome him to my bodyguard. I am sure we will be worthy of it. As with all Tau members I hope I will be able to welcome him also as active member to the Dark Brotherhood soon.

More indepth RoS info coming here:

1. Act I scores will be calculated immediately after the Act is over. Give the Order leaders, Drak and me some time to go through all of the submissions , the Ladders and the Run-on. Especially the Run-on will take a bit. As soon as I have all scores complete and all placing together I will send out the Act I results to the Clan Summits so they know how their Clan did in it and can do adjustments if necessary.

2. Medals for Act I will also be recced and awarded as soon as the scores are done. So expect some medal to be handed out over the weekend.

3. I know the DIE events haven't started yet and are delayed but rest assured I am working on that and it will be sorted out over the weekend one way or the other and Kraths will be able to start playing there.

4. I have seen that the deadline of the Obelisk Tourney is only 9 hours away and several matches haven't been played yet. I will have a talk with the OHC to decide what to do with that fact.

5. If material like the JO/JA maps and the Sith SP missions aren't available for Act II right from the start don't complain they will be distributed and put up on various sites as fast as possible.

6. So far I am very impressed with the Obelisk Order and their level of activity in the RoS so far. But Krath and especially Sith need to work on their level still a bit. What I have seen from them is not Vendetta level activity yet.

7. The Run on is open to all three orders and actually everyone in a Clan is expected to post there no matter what Order. The Participation Factor for the Run on is derived from the total member ship of the complete Clan, so this is no Krath Event as i have witnessed some Siths and Obelisk claiming. In order to raise that Factor someone only has to post one post in each weekly Run On section. Only if someone wants to go for the Novae for the top three individual poster, he or she needs to post constantly in a high quality.

8. There has been some minor rule and submission changes throughout the week regarding some events but more of that in the DGM report.

~ Projects ~

As usual the complete task list for my position, updated where progress or changes were made:

Grand Master

- Implementation of the Action plan
- Vendetta in the next 3 months
- Sort out varies issues as outlined in the action plan

A) Vendetta:

The Rite of Supremacy has started exactly within the requested three months period.

B) Action plan:

Since this is a rather big pile of tasks I use the segmentation in the plan itself:

1) Communications:

Promotion of good work:

"The GM shall make news posts and other promotional references on the following:"

- Merit awards of Grand Cross or higher - delegated to the CHAN report in the DC task plan

- Meeting trivia awards - done in my report when I get informed about the winners by the trivia host.

- All awards for competitions clan size or larger - right now done for my GMTC comp and delegated concerning other comps to the CHAN report. Added reporting of special comp events like the WoW to that section, like in the last report.

- All vendetta novas - will be done once currently ongoing vendetta is over.

- Select promotions and appointments - Announcements of all appointments are delegated to the MAA report in general as outlined in the DC task list DC and Clan summit elevations are announced in my report as well.

- Select Shadow Academy course results - delegated to the HM report as outlined in the DC task list.

That means these tasks have been addressed, are currently executed and constantly minded by me and the other DC members every week.

2) Reports:

All Dark Council members will submit weekly reports to the following entities:

- Dark Council mailing list

- Consuls and Proconsuls

- Main site reports system

Done by me since my first report and being told to the rest of the DC all the time and constantly monitored by me. Also outlined in the DC task list.

3) Policy Development:

Expansion/standardisation of the Industrial points system - Echelons of Force IP system is approved and currently undergoing public stage on the MBs. Although the posts on the MB have died down regretably the discussion in the think tank has already produced some very good results and is on going. If anyone wants to join still can do so, there is no member limit. The subscription address is dbtt-subscribe@yahoogroups.com. Currently on back burner due to RoS priority will become top priority after RoS is over.

- Loot system - Plans for it will be proposed to Astatine the creator of the loot system in the near future.

- Enforcement of ranks, etc - Task completed. A new protocol by the MAA addressing that matter is in place and is enforced at all time

- appointment ranks - Task completed. A new protocol by the MAA addressing that matter is in place and is enforced at all time

- position pins - will be implemented into the new GoAs developed by the HRLD's Office on personal request of the GoA owner.

- Lightsabers - will be addressed as soon as the HRLD's Office has advanced from the GoA project to the Custom lightsaber project.

- GMRG - the existence of this society and use/aims of it will be discussed once the membership count has risen to an acceptable amount to justify an elite society of any kind.

~ Grand Master's Acknowledgements ~

This time I want to acknowledge various persons who have helped me and still help me with the RoS. ( a.k.a The Rite of Supremacy Credits) in no particular order:

DJM Keldorn Cochrane for helping me to put my initial ideas into a basic plotline, for coming up with the structure of the RoS and for starting the RoS website.

DGM Drak for helping me to finish the preparations on the General Events, the fiction parts of the RoS,
the descriptions of the Acts with the info and the history bits, and setting up the scoring system with me as well as the submission and the cheating guidelines.

HM Daniel Goad for volunteering to take care of the half finished RoS site, completeing it in the nick of time and still maintaining it.

XO/SCL Astatine for suggesting me as GM to Ronin 3 months ago, thus enabling me to realize my ideas for a vendetta after all which I already had as DGM.

SHW Sarin for his many suggestions for the RoS plotline and the provision of the locations and other material as well as seeing to it that we have some interesting Sith Events.

OHC Sirik for selecting the JO/JA RoS maps and doing custom maps where none were available.

SCO Ender for creating the RoS SP Missions.

Last but not least the obligatory thanks in every credits to GL for creating this universe in the first place :P

~ Tau Squadron ~

In a plan to get Tau squadron more visible and representative in/for the Dark Brotherhood, Tau Commander General Kaerner, the Sith High Warrior and I have agreed upon a couple of ideas . They are as follows:

- GN Kaerner or a member of the squadron will represent the Tau during the weekly DB meetings to present news about the squadron. Highlights of the squadron report will be displayed in the Grand Master''s weekly report.

- If a squadron member is also active member of a Clan/House in the DB, (s)he will earn a Cluster of Fire (the DB MP medal) for each win in a EH sanctioned MP event in addition to the LoC earned in the DB.

- Tau will be allowed to take part in any Sith MP event including the current RoS as independent unit. Squadron members can get individual medals but will not be counted to Clan and House scores if they choose to fly under the Tau banner. a Tau pilot needs to tell the SHW as well as his/her Clan/house summit if s/he wants to fly either for his/her House/Clan or Tau squadron.

- Tau members can get DB awards such as merit medals and elevations for non subgroup activity, if they are listed as active Jedi. Those would be handled by the SHW, the DGM and the GM in agreement.

- Tau members can request a Tau emblem to be displayed in their GoA if they so desire.

I hope those points will help to turn Tau again into a more Brotherhood based Squadron. I suggest all Tau members get an appointment with the Master at Arms soon for Clan transfer if they aren't in one yet, so they will be able to receive the full scope of Tau privileges available to them now. Welcome back to the Brotherhood my bodyguards.

Hammer's Fist Domain Report:  09.05.04

<<SALUTE>>

G'day again, folks. As far as I've been involved, the last week has been a very quiet one, thanks to work and university commitments. What little time I've had free has been spent sleeping, or working some more... on the plus side, this means I've been able to hammer the kinks out of an operation I've been planning for quite a while, as well as draw up plans for a few CSMA courses I had planned to write back when I was CT. But, I digress. Back to the grindstone for us all. Dante is out of town this weekend, and so I have been asked to write the domain report. Apologies for any inconsistencies, as I am a little new to this.

-=News=-
1) Dante and I are still looking for new Company Commander's for BOTH Companies. Anyone interested should apply to both Dante and myself, explaining why you're our best choice. I'd rather not have to cut through the usual bullcrap -- making it interesting and in depth is the key.

2) Our Commander, Operations -- Lieutenant Colonel Sirik Xirok, for those of you not familiar -- has made several interesting proposals, including a reform of the PRG of which I have been looking at for several weeks. Once a clear idea has been formed, we will pass along the information to the general populace. On the side, he has also been in the process of developping a possible joint operation with the Dark Brotherhood, Intelligence Division, or the Bounty Hunter's Guild. More news as it comes.

3) Hammer's Fist League medals are to be awarded soon, I have been assured. I believe this delay has to do with the CT/CO swap enacted.

4) The Commander, Training is looking for Drill Instructors to assist him in the grading of certain CSMA courses. Anyone interested should contact him ASAP.

5) Several newbloods this week... a hearty welcome to Private Captain Nick, Private stardestroyer, and Private Jake Far'shadow! Snap to the CSMA and get your SSBTC's done, folks!

6) Work has begun on revising the Master Stormtrooper and Special Operations Advanced certifications from the CSMA, due to age and neglect. I would like to strike a small committee of senior members to commission a draft, however the specifics are waiting for Dante's reply upon his return.

7) I have also begun work upon a small project I have been trying to complete since I held the CT post -- a formal, templated Assignment Form, much like the other Subgroups operate. Currently, it is the wording that is proving difficult, although an informal draft should be handed out to the General Staff within the next week, barring work and real life commitments.

8) The cogs have begun to turn regarding the integration of Republic Commando and Battlefront, albeit slowly. We should be able to follow up on this completely, given a small timeframe to hammer out the basic framework. Ideally, this will jive with one of CT Sirik's plans, and make our lives a whole lot easier.

9) Several issues came up this week regarding a former member of the Hammer's Fist, the former-Captain Silent, and a member of the rDB. After verbally assaulting me via e-mail and attempting to start a small mutiny on the message boards, his profile has been deleted from our roster (which seems to have been missed in an administrative oversight upon his defection) and he has been banned from the MB. If he should enter the channel, he is -- commiserate with EH decree -- to be banned on sight.

-=Tasks Progress=-
Focus on JO/JA/SWGB: 5%
-Work begins slowly on this, as the PRG and STC are being reworked to some degree to encompass these platforms further.
Preparation for Commando/Battlefront: 10%
-My basic proposal is being finalized at the moment, and I will discuss this with Dante upon his return.
Coordination with TO: ???%
-This will be left to the Commander, Training, whom I would like to contact me with any information in this field.
Coordinate Mission Creation: ???%
-I imagine this will require some discussion with the TAC, although I would like to have some idea of where we should progress. Work will continue upon Dante's return.
Coordinate Game Servers with the Obelisk, etc.: ???%
-With the loss of Kuro to the Homeguard, I am as yet unsure whether our server even still exists. Commander, Training Sirik will be delegate to handle this, as he is also the OHC.
More Recruitment Effort: 1%
-I will begin looking into the probability of using multiple exterior resources to publicize our efforts in the near future. My time for this has been limited somewhat by work in the past week, requiring me to distribute my online time carefully. Should see some progress by the next report.
Modding: 0%
-Currently, no true progress has been made here except for some random conversation. A more structured effort to find/employ/create mods for these games will be undertaken after some smaller office projects have been completed.

-=Reports=-
PRF: On Leave
XO: Received (Domain Report)
CO: Not Received
CT: Excused
CI: Not Received
CS: Not Received

Let's get that cleaned up for next week, folks.

-=Closing Remarks=-
I think that about summarizes it for this past week. Work continues slowly, thanks to work and the various returns to school. We should be back in swing soon, hopefully, and pumping out ideas and plans for the future. Until next week, folks... shoot straight and good hunting.

Heads Up:  09.01.04

<SALUTE>

I know this looks like a report, but it isn't. I just wanted to keep you guys better informed of the stuff going on within the Corporate Division.

Just letting you guys know that I won't be resigning from the Corporate Division. I've really enjoyed the CD of late. And things are really starting to come together. Thorin apologized which was nice, even if he didn't mean it (Not to say I don't think he did, but I am skeptical given past behavior) and Trow took a high spot. Trow is redoing the manual update for us which is great as it does need an update. We've started our first comp in many months thanks to Sirik. Thorin created some awesome uniforms for the CD version of TTT so I'm looking into getting Tempest to update TTT for us.

PLT Revenge, our version of IWATS, is going great. Several new courses have been added. The courses of Brukhar's have been especially useful. He may be annoying, but it was great work. I gave him a nice medal for it. That is something I have been focusing on ... rewarding the effort my people do for the betterment of the CD. Once abk is done with the site, I intend to get him recommended for a Gold Star. He has, and still is, doing so much work for the CD. Work that Dura never seemed to get around to in his months as my Website guy and VPP.

The DIREX spots are almost filled. We don't have a VPP since Dura resigned, but with abk doing the website work, we don't need one. VPP looks after the websites. Unfortunately, abk isn't interested in a position in the CD, he just wants to do the work for us. I don't mind. The new layout progresses slowly. Drako started it not long after I became PREX. He was a bit busy IRL, and then he made TO which made his time even more scarse, but when I last heard, most of it was done. Foley is helping as well, and he needs Drako to do some CSS work on it. Hopefully it'll be done soon so that we can get it uploaded. I'm very excited to see it.

Our numbers are low, but they are steadily improving. BubbaX and I have created Alts for Core Squadron so that we can help Ender in testing IA. We've also had another person join so with the CEO-CMDR and those 3, we have 4 which is a great start. We're debating about closing the ATE Corporation. It has one active member and it hasn't done anything in a long time. Very few people want to make websites or graphics full time. It is a shame though.

IBC is doing great. We have decided to split it into separate Corporations, IBC (For HARA) and Corporate Division News Group (CDNG). Turtle runs IBC and seems to be doing an alright job (Although I'd like to see more DJ's working) and CDNG is going ok except for that Ender (The CEO) can't find anyone to do the Flash work for the newsletter that is being produced. Until then, it is on hold as it doesn't work with HTML. Can you guys recommend anyone? Both of those Corporations have at least a couple active people.

The #Corporate_Division channel is going great at the moment. A week ago, I was on it all day and there was a LOT more talking done on it then on #TIECorps which is so amazing considering how dead it used to be. I'd really like it if you guys joined every now and then. Might induce more to join it if they see the upper echelons joining. I think having a few CS join it helps.

We are looking into a gaming platform to attract players. Sadly, Compton vetoed Bubba's idea for a SWG Corporation that would construct things for the EH. And after initially approving it, Cyric denied us Freeworlds (To assist the EH as well). It is terribly frustrating as we don't get a chance to use any of these platforms. IW gets the space sim games with the TC, and the DB and the Fist share the JK games, but the TC won't share FW and the Fringe won't share SWG. I do understand it, but just because someone is in the SWG Corp doesn't mean they can't belong to the Fringe. What do you guys think?

Bruk did suggest a new game. It might be ok depending on whether we can get a server hosted and someone to mod it for Star Wars. Trow wants a special project Corporation which is an idea I really like. We might get that special corporation to mod that game if it is possible.

Wow, this email turned out to be a lot longer then I expected. A lot of this hasn't been mentioned in reports because I don't think that the general player base needs to know some of these things. The internal politics should be kept as quiet as possible as it tends to scare people away.

I had my second VPX (XO of the CD ... sorry if you know this, I don't mean to treat you guys like idiots :) resign on me yesterday. I don't know what to do about VPX as there isn't anyone else adequete to fill the spot ... although, maybe Trow could work. I just thought of him. I might think about it. Do you guys know of someone who could work? Doesn't worry me if they have little or no CD experience. We'll train him up and he wouldn't be that far behind my knowledge of the CD when you Ronin made me PREX.

I hope that you guys are happy with my performance. I know that there was a time when it wasn't, but that was when I was finding it so damn difficult getting anything done. I did have plans in place to get the CD moving forward, but whenever it came to someone doing what I asked of them, they either idled out or resigned on me. Thorin didn't make my life any easier though. But that's in the past now.

Oh, I forgot but I am trying to get a database dump for the CD. I'm trying to get access so I can do it without having to ask people to do it for me. The emails involved in getting this access take time though. When I have that info, I'll let you know and I'll make sure you have the dump by the end of September.

Sorry for the length of this email, but thanks for reading it. :)

Prex Report #8:  09.05.04

-------------------
News
-------------------
I was saddened by the resignation of CG Blake. But we have a new VPX, BubbaX. God help us all. His misguided Adjutant, Frodo, has joined him as A:VPX.

I talked to Tempest about creating a new TTT-CD program for us. He informed me that he is pretty busy at the moment, but after he finishes another project, he will look into doing it for us. Thanks Tempest!

We have plenty of competitions running at the moment. At the bottom of this report, I have listed all the active competitions. Participate to earn medals!

Website progress is a little slow at the moment. The Revenge stuff is slowly getting there. However, Sirik started a comp which relied on the Professors being able to reliably use Revenge and that hasn't been the case so hopefully we can get that fixed quickly.

We've had a few new members this week. A few (3) have headed to Core Squadron to help the SCO test IA.

CP Brukhar suggested a game that we might be able to use. We're looking into how modable the game is. If it won't be too hard, we might have to look into using it.

BHG Report:  09.10.04

This weeks report from the BHG, where the KAGs make the hurricanes in Florida look like a vacation.

After a few weeks of break, I am back to active duty. Between school semesters I was on a LoA to go visit the new inlaws in Texas, as well as to prepare for the coming school year. The idea was that when I got back, we would get our cable installed so that I would then be able to resume FULL duties as DP. Ya see the university that I have had access on has slowly cut off the entertainment side of things. Meaning I had to get my own outside line. That was all lined up but the cable company is being quite lethargic. Hopefully this problem will be all over on Saturday, hopefully in time for the EH meeting. They said I had to leave open a 4 hour window of time, well I am a college student, the only 4 hours in a row I have together I spend sleeping! So they said I had to wait until Saturday, so that I could sit on my bum for 4 hours waiting for them to show up any time between. So that is the plan this Saturday.

That means that I will be able to go back to submitting reports the proper way. I know Astatine has mentioned our need to do that. I apologize for this way of doing things, but I feel it is better than nothing, especially in light of it coming to an end, hopefully with this being the last week I have to do it this way. So the BHG will return to the proper ways of reporting, as the technicalities seem to be coming to a close.

Velkro our Tactician has been doing a superb job, he has lined up originally a rematch of the Intel vs. BHG, SG vs. SG competition, but after further talk, it has turned into BHG vs. Intel/HF. This is quite to our liking as it will give our hunters the challenge necessary to get up for this activity and put on a stellar performance. There is still details to be worked out, but it seems this will be a reality sooner, rather than later. The process of reintegrating the BHG with the rest of the fleet is one that is gaining momentum and popularity in the subgroup, a successful competition here could solidify this growing positive will towards the rest of the EH.

That is the main news, of course as always the chiefs are running their kabals around, and the commission keeps working hard, working on all cylinders except for my technical problems which I have already mentioned should be ending this weekend.

BHG Report:  09.17.04

NOTE: With my crazy internet connection, and the EH database fiasco of a few months ago, I haven't been added to the eh.net stuff, so that I can start posting my reports on the domain again. What is the procedure for fixing that? I am capable now (as opposed to the horrid uni connection this summer) but I am not sure how to proceed.

Hello again from Hurricane Ivan's more intimidating friend... the BHG,

Well the big news, for me anyways, is that I am back in full swing. I got my cable connection on saturday, and have been doing my best since then to get fully up to speed. We have a lot of things on our plate for the fall, and are hoping to recapture the rapid succession of activities that made this past spring one to remember. We start off October with a 2 vs. 1 subgroup competition orchestrated by Velkro. I am very pleased with his work, as it is yet another step in proving that we are not simply a strong subgroup of the Emperors Hammer, but a friend and ally of the other subgroups. The Intelligence Division and Hammers Fist will be taking us on, we are hoping that with the odds against us like this, it will stretch our hunters through activity and build unity.

From there we plan to have a KAG in the late fall, early Winter to round out the year. So those are the big things on the plate with the usual Online Missions, and Kabal activities being held in the process. The XoC has been having some good renovations due to the work of Slagar, and a successful Arena Tournament is reaching its final rounds thanks to Motti and Gravant. So all in all, a lot of activity in the subgroup, and soon we will be expanding that activity outward to positively influence the other subgroups as well.

1. Intel Wide Comp
Thanks to RA Winters, the UBIQ is now the happy owner of an URL with the location of the comp that will move Intel(along with other things) during the next month. But...you'll have to attend Intel's meeting on Sunday(22:00pm GMT on #dgn_lichtor_v) to find it out.:P

2. MB open question session on the Bureau of Internal Organization
http://www.ehnet.org/mb/viewforum.php?t=3544

IntOrg is usually seen as our elite Bureau as these agents' job is to protect the EH from external threats but also from the inside ones.

IntOrg agents are hand-picked by myself and COL Stirlitz, the BUDR, hence you can imagine the importance of this Bureau. Importance which grants the BUDr a few privileges other BUDRs don't have.

3. EH SDIR Task List Report
As usual, any critics are welcome.

*More promotion of projects, events, etc.
New comp will be announced on Sunday. Should last close to a month.

*Better attitude and more interaction towards members
MB Open Question Sessions proceed and once they're over, we'll create something new. We have trivia after out meetings and encourage people to drop by our channel. You don't need to reveal you're an agent to be there so come have some fun moments.

*Reports that have actual content, not fluff or filler
about "real life" and other non-relevant areas Nothing above as you can see.

*Actual progress on projects
Comlink to be published soon. I'm told in 2 weeks.

*Higher online presence, especially during meetings
Being done to the best of our abilities. There are *at least* 2 UBIQs present in #dgn every day, not to mention 2 BUDRs.

Directorate Manual Quizzes Competition

 

Introduction

That�s right, folks.  Quizzes on the Directorate Manual.  Why do you ask?  Because no one reads it or knows enough about it.  You need to know as much as the writer�well maybe not that in depth, but you could try. ;-)

 

Procedure

Each Directorate Domain Report (DDR), will have contain a group of questions concerning the Directorate Manual.  Send the answers listing them by number to myself in a private email titled �Manual Quiz�, if this is not the subject or if you don�t have an ID line the email will be ignored.  Answers must be in by Wednesday of the following week.

 

Grading

Obviously, you will be graded on the most you get correct.  For being the first submitter into my mailbox, you will receive 2 additional points each round.  Please note that 2 points will add up. ;-)  From time to time I may add a bonus question that can not be found in the Manual but may be known elsewhere or by someone.  You can not ask any member of the Ministry Council for any answers at any time.  If you do, that Minister will contact me and you will receive a zero on your quiz.

 

Scoring

Each planet will receive points from each of their planetary members who submit.  The winning planet will receive a medal for each member of their planet.

 

Each participant will also be graded.  Specific awarding will be decided upon the end of the competition.  It could even result in a promotion. ;-)

 

Time Span

The entire manual will be covered; therefore when I run out of questions, the competition will end.  The first report with a quiz will be the report released on or around September 11th, giving you all plenty of time to prepare and get your planets ready to win. ;-)

 

Questions, comments or concerns can be directed to me personally.

 

 

MANUAL QUIZ #1:

1.  Who is the ruling body of the Directorate? Where are they located? (2)

2.  List the duties of each Ministry Council member (as complete as you can). (18)

3.  What is the simulation game the Directorate uses called? (1)

4.  Which position is specified to set a good example? (1)

5:  Name the highest rank a Councilor may hold. (1)

6.  True or False.  The Legion of Aurora is awarded to members who have shown service to the Directorate.  These officers are who have done what is needed and show support. If false, please fix the statement to make it true. (3)

7.  Explain the highest eligible access policy. (3)

 

***No Copy and Pasting will be allowed.  If you do or there is any possibility you may have, your entire score will be negative to your total, it will also affect your planet.  So don�t do it.***

 

 

Final Note

Go recruit!  Publicize Diplomacy!  Keep up the recruitment!  My office is always open for comments, concerns, questions, and even complaints.  I like to hear what everyone says.

 

Directorate Domain Report:  09.17.04

 

From the Desk of the Grand Moff

After the �somewhat slow� last week, this week has been full of happenings.  Read on. ;-)

 

News

 

1.       Specific planetary boards have been added to the Directorate Message Boards. Please visit them and post.  ( http://directorate.net/phpBB2/index.php?sid=cc7d08f9fc43e7df4e3437dd0a7db1bf )

2.       Diplomacy should be on my desk within the next few hours.  The Minister of Operations has resolved all previous problems and it is ready to be reviewed.

3.       Currently, I am searching for a Minister of Communications, with luck one will be found soon and work on the site will continue.

4.       Minister of Education is open to applications!  If you feel you can do the required work and are very interested in the position, do not hesitate to apply.

5.       Temporary Online Rosters: http://dirroster.minos.net/

6.       Several competitions going on such as the Run-On (at the Msessage boards) and the Directorate Banner and Description Competition.  Check the Message Boards for details!

7.       Congratulations to Magister Zeke Freeman on his ascension to System Moff!

8.       The second week in a row that we have had recruits entering.  Nice work everyone, keep it up and keep them active!

9.       RA Striker is continuing MoE duties, send all CDGI material to him.

10.   Magister Equitum Exar Kit has resigned as Frigg Governor as has Magister Brent Tainer from Hela Governor.  Stay tuned for more from the System Moff. ;-)

11.   Discussion on the MBs about the rank and position insignias is continuing.  Speak your ideas there. ;-)

12.   Please pay attention to your position limits in role-playing and in doing direct work within the Directorate. My thanks ahead of time.

13.   Legion of Aurora awarded to Auger Jack Stone for his contribution of automated courses for the CDGI.  Go take a course and check them out!

14.   The Systems Manual will begin a full makeover and addition of data.  The current SysMan is very old and plans are being written up to undergo the project.  Stay tuned for more on this in the coming week!

 

Directorate Competition

Many of you may know that the EH features all the Sub-groups on a separate webpage. A nice idea especially to get Imperial citizens introduced to the Sub-groups, hopefully they look particularly close at the Directorate. One problem, the banner on that page is so out of date...its been there since I joined the Directorate and it hasn't been used in the Directorate proper since I have been around. Now would be the time where everyone says "Gee, that things ancient."  If you notice as well, the description of the Directorate is quite off too...it hasn't matched since I joined, also a long time. Therefore a competition.

 

Banner Competition

Create a Directorate Banner which focuses on the planetary and diplomatic aspects. Something to the extent of the old one, but someone much more eye catching. Please keep the sizes to those that are on the EH Subgroups page ( http://www.emperorshammer.org/subgroup.htm ) So the GA doesn't have a fit. 

 

Description Competition

Re-write the Directorate description, covering all aspects of the Directorate. This is fairly open ended. Please note that this will probably be edited by the Ministry Council, but you will receie the reward.

 

Rewards

You know, I always promise awards for competitions but I hate being specific...due to the participation levels and quality. Therefore, I promise that you will receive something for these two competitions.

 

Please send all entries to Grand Moff (ma4sbwithu@aol.com) and Deputy Grand Moff (wilstriker@cox.net) with the subject pertaining to the competition submission. My thanks and good luck!

DO Compton/The Fringe

DO Report #21:  09.03.04

The biggest in-game news this week is that Publish 10, the second part of the Jedi revamp, went live on 8/31. This new system introduces a completely new way of becoming Force Sensitive. One of the benefits of this new system is that your existing characters became Force Sensitive (before you gained FS on a completely different character), allowing you to keep your existing skills and complementing them with minor Force abilities.

We already have several EHers who are glowing with the Force, and most have begun their quests to become Jedi Initiates. The road ahead is long, but ultimately should be very rewarding.

The restructuring of the PA continues. I�m currently discussing the duties of the different Sections with each Section Chief, and we should be releasing more information soon. Congrats to Kelron Avenstar for being appointed our new City Ranger. He�s being learning all he can about resources, and I�m sure he�ll do a solid job of getting us the information we need.

Here�s the current command staff:

Director of Operations (DO): Jahn Compton
Assistant Director (ADO): RaAmon
Militia Chief (MC): Vladet Xavier
City Doctor (CD): TBD
Commerce Manager (CM): Krenn�sa Alvaak
City Ranger (CR): Kelron Avenstar
Events Coordinator (EC): Kyy Terrak
Mayor: Holu Tatsumi
Ambassador (AM): Suri A-na

No one has expressed any interest in the position of City Doctor. I�ve had a couple volunteers, but I�m also still looking for volunteers to be Shift Leaders throughout the day � mostly during the early hours, after the server comes back up. If you�re interested in any of these positions, please contact me at lovewilkil@aol.com ASAP.

Just a reminder for everyone in the Fleet: SOE is giving FREE 14 day trial subscriptions to Star Wars Galaxies. Details can be found on the SWG website.

Also - Best Buy has SWG listed at $29.99 on their website and Fry�s ( www.outpost.com ) has it listed at $27.99 � both much better than the MSRP of 50 bones.

Just a reminder for those already in the game: I very much want every member in the EH PA who wants one to have a house in our city so they can become citizens of our fine city, Sanctum Malleus. We�ve recently acquired a large number of small houses, so if you have yet to plant a house in SM, drop me a line in-game and I�ll get you one.

For those who don't already know, The Fringe is the ONLY official EH Player Association in Star Wars Galaxies. Based on the Chilastra server, joining the PA is open to members of the EH and all other loyal Imperial citizens. The only requirement (besides having a character on Chilastra, of course) is that you join The Fringe. You can do this using your existing EH e-mail address by e-mailing DO Compton at lovewilkil@aol.com, or send a /tell in-game to Jahn, Vladet, Holu or Krenn�sa.

DO Report #22:  09.10.04

Huge, huge, HUGE news this week. After months of waiting, the Jump to Lightspeed Beta testing has begun. Both Kyy and I have jumped into the game, and it looks incredible. All we can say without violating the NDA is that this will take SWG to a new level.

If you are in the Beta as well, drop a line to Lede (Compton) or Kyy in-game. I�ve love to be able to set up an EH PA hall in Beta!

Back on the ground, Mell has taken it upon himself to get a true website up and running. He�s enlisted the services of Demerzel, and the looks like it�ll suit our needs well once all the features are turned on. It�s currently hosted at http://ehpa.tcbg.net, so check it out. Mell�s also started a thread about it on our message board, so if you have any CONSTRUCTIVE comments, please feel free to post them.

We are still looking for someone to fill the position of City Doctor. I�m also still looking for volunteers to be Shift Leaders throughout the day � mostly during the early hours, after the server comes back up.

DO Report #23:  09.17.04

The Jump to Lightspeed Beta testing has begun! After spending what little free time I�ve had this week flying my [EDITED BY SOE] around the [EDIT] sector. I can�t tell you how much I enjoy playing this game. It�s fun, it�s exciting and it seems to [EDIT] with the ground game. Just last night I was [EDIT]ing around the [EDIT] when a [EDIT] came up behind me. Man, when it [EDIT]ed me, my eyes just about jumped out of my [EDIT].

The character I created, a [EDIT] named Lede Compton is currently an Imperial Pilot 2/2/1/1. I�ve even messed around with Shipwright a little. I think one of the biggest surprises for people will be the unannounced [EDIT] profession of [EDIT]. People have asked me to name some of the resources needed to make ships so we can start stockpiling, so I highly recommend that you break out the harvesters and start getting the best [EDIT], [EDIT], [EDIT], [EDIT] and [EDIT] you can find. And get some [EDIT] with a high [EDIT] rating, too, as it�s used to make [EDIT]. And you�ll need to make a LOT of those.

They�ve just opened up Beta to more than the Fan Fest attendees, and we�ve got enough EHers in the game to make our own Beta PA. I�ll be dropping a PA Hall this weekend, so drop a /tell to Lede to join. I�ll probably give everyone rights to recruit more members, as I think having a strong Beta presence will be a great recruiting tool once the game goes live.

Back on the ground, Demerzel has agreed to continue working on the website even though he�s been promoted to Chancellor of the Senate. It�s currently hosted at http://ehpa.tcbg.net , so check it out. Mell�s also started a thread about it on our message board, so if you have any CONSTRUCTIVE comments, please feel free to post them.

We are still looking for someone to fill the position of City Doctor. I�m also still looking for MORE volunteers to be Shift Leaders throughout the day � mostly during the early hours, after the server comes back up.

DO Report #24:  09.26.04

The Jump to Lightspeed Beta testing continues. They�ve opened up Beta testing to a lot more people, and many EHers are getting to chance to try this most excellent of games. This weekend, SOE did a couple [MESSAGE EDITED BY SOE], had a major PvP event and opened up the two [EDIT]. They�re doing a great job of working out the bugs, and it looks like they�re working tirelessly to make sure this game is everything the SWG community has hyped it to be.

In somewhat unexpected news, the [EDIT] profession [EDIT] has been removed from the game, and rolled in with [EDIT]. While [EDIT] started out as a [EDIT] profession, it�s now a [EDIT] profession branching off from the [EDIT] skill box. Also the [EDIT] tree has been removed, and the abilities have been moved to other skill boxes. These moves has been hailed by most as good for the game.

Back on the ground, The Village has entered phase two. This means that those of us who are following the new Force Sensitive unlocking system can take up another tree. Just a note for people doing the combat tree with the NPC Dageerin: you can only do 3 missions per 24 hours of server up time. This mean that you can do three missions, then you�ll have to wait 24 hours of real time plus however long the server was down for the night to be able to do your next three missions. This is very annoying, but evidently SOE wants to have people in the village throughout the phase, rather than have everyone complete their missions in the first couple days and overload the servers.

We are still looking for someone to fill the position of City Doctor. I�m also still looking for MORE volunteers to be Shift Leaders throughout the day � mostly during the early hours, after the server comes back up.

CHS Report #2:  08.29.04

Greetings,

Legislative Discussion #1 has slowed down a little and Debate #1 is pending proposal drafts, so while I would have liked affairs to move a little quicker on these, I do understand that quality takes time. While I myself would like to write up my own proposals, it would not exactly be appropriate. However, I may very well write some kind of example that may be taken as a model. Still as always time is a factor so I will not promise anything. In other news I have appointed a new Minister of Records, Devastol Gin, and he has quickly installed a new Vice Minister for himself, Darkheart. It also a real wonder how our roster actually got up to 74 so quickly and the fact that more applicants are taking the CORE Test. I have also released my first Chancellor's Directive of my term, and it relates to Parties/Societies in the Imperial Senate. Also shortly after this report is posted the Imperial Senate Tasklist 2004/2005 will be released.

Other than all this I've been having a rather lousy weekend. My new DVD writer has so far been churning coasters and there are problems with the domain host I've been trying to get for my father's site, which I intend to leech on :P I still have not been able to get hold of a new PHP, MySQL and XTemplates coder to work on the Senate site. So as I write all this well I'm just rather down.

Chancellor's Directive #1: Official Policy on the formation of Parties/Societies in the Imperial Senate

Parties will be renamed as Societies, and will no longer serve as a platform to divide political opinion. Instead they would act as a gathering of like-minded individuals who share various ideals. However, Society members must be willing to work across the spectrum and formulate ideas, legislation and a whole variety of activities. There will only be 3 Societies, namely the Liberals, Moderates and Conservatives. While platforms may be written, Senate legislative activity does take priority. The Senate will no longer waste time and effort over writing and debating platforms and have its central activity being such. We will instead serve them by writing and debating on legislation that would improve the lives of Imperial citizens. It is the planetary delegations that form the foundation of the General Assembly, not the Societies nor its predecessor the Parties.

Imperial Senate Report #3:  09.05.04

Greetings,

A template for how legislative drafts/proposals should look like has been posted on the Legislative Discussion #1 thread, and already work has begun on the penalties article of the legislation. The input of REP/EMS Serin has thusfar been very much appreciated. A new mailing list for the Imperial Senate has also been started using the beta of google groups, and because it is new it is found at senate@googlegroups.com ;) So far I have only added the active Senate members to the list of recipients. This report will be sent through the mailing list, so if you don't either your not on the list or have yet to respond to the invite that was sent. REP/EMS Glimpeace has also posted his first designs for the Imperial Senate over the mailing list and I must say, it does look unique though personally it is rather flat. Kudos to him anyway ;) With respect to Debate #1, and informal commission will be started and discussions may take place over on the mailing list. A new Chancellor's Officer site is also being worked on.

::EH Newscast::

From what I understand, there is a possibility that the IO may be working on some sort of project that would be the a SF+ for the Subgroups level, based upon probably the Senate site code, so that Subgroups do not need to waste time on site recoding and redesigning each time there is a change of leadership.

The winners of the XO's most recent competitions have also been announced, and well for the first time, the EH has won both XVT and XWA WoWs in the same month.

The much anticipated Postnuke 0.75 is now out after a long wait, and I will be testing it out for the EHPA site for the Fringe so that if anything goes wrong I dont 'damage' my current office site (though it is very out of date) .

Imperial Senate Report #4:  09.12.04

Greetings,

Well for one thing RL-wise things have changed, and I am now having a permanent posting, and though I am no longer in a stay out unit, I do have daily nights out and have internet access in camp. More significantly then, while I can still reply to e-mails, message board postings, etc, I will not be on mIRC/AIM/ICQ much until the weekend. So thing on my side may get processed abit slower, if no one takes the initiative.

Yet I have almost also finished with my new office site which you may find at here. As it is usual with most of the site that I do, it driven by the Postnuke CMS and AutoTheme Lite. My reports will also be posted on that site. And well last week google groups decided to give me some problems, but now everything is resolved so you should be getting this report in full html through e-mail instead of a link. For those using webmail client and have the report displayed in a manner that is unclear please to click here to view it properly.

::EH Newscast::
Well after a short delay the Commendations of Loyalty have finally been awarded, and this time round I have been awarded 3 of them bringing my record to a grand total of 7. Aint it cool? View the entire listing of it here.

In other news, DGM/DJM Keldorn has stepped down, and former SHW Drak has been appointed to replace him. Also with the retirement of CON/DA Priyum, PCON/KE Domi has been appointed as a replacement in Clan Arcona.

Finally after almost 3 month of having internet and RL problems, RO/AD Joe is finally back with Report #50 and is organising another interview.

Ah yes I'm also helping the Fringe with a temporary site.

::Chancellor's Missive::

Greetings,

Another slow week passes and unless someone writes Article 2 for the Legislative Discussion on security, the legislation will be stalled. The Debate on the Greater Threat is also stalled at the moment, so unless
someone takes the initiative to move it forward there is nothing much that I can do. Taking the initiative is the order of the day in the Imperial Senate, and no matter what I do we will be inactive if there is no initiative taken. What I can do is only so much, and reciprocal activity is needed. There is no point waiting for things to happen, just make things happen.

::Chancellor's Missive::
Greetings,

This week has been one of ups and downs really. Right now I am quite busy in RL due to some upcoming inspection in the 2nd week of October and a number of Exercises, so there are times over the week when I do not get home for a bit to check on how stuff are going on online, so things on my side may slow down a bit. I have also had to take the rather unusual step of temporarily disallowing a now former member from
re-joining, due to some unpleasant comments made. Yet then again there have been some brighter spots with the Senate Manual being approved, and M:REC/VIZ Destavol and REP/EMS Daryan Harpinis working on two seperate pieces of legislation. Legislative Debate #1 has also progressed to a Record of Decision Draft Legislation Debate. Voting on that would begin next week. A new Core Test is also being worked on.

::EH Newscast::
1) In the Dark Brotherhood the Rite of Supremacy competition they are having seems to be going quite well.
2) The Operations Officer has released some new requirements when awarding medals.
3) Vice Admiral Jeron Darkonis Astoris has been appointed the new Logistics Officer.
4) The position of Security Officer is open for applications.

::Legislative Agenda::
1. Basic Spaceport Security (Current Discussion, Legislative Work begun)
2. Basic Healthcare Provisions
3. Military Veterans welfare (Legislative Draft being worked on by
M:REC/PRM Destavol Gin)
4. Protection of the Environment

COO Report #28:  09.03.04

COO Report of Champions:

1. For the first time in the History of our Club, the EH has won both XVT and XWA WoWs in the same month. This unprecedented achievement has been paired with two of our pilots winning overall pilot at each competition. Tek (Tau) won XVT for the second month in a row and our new pilot Nom Anor (XIV) won XWA! Tek finished with a 100% rating and Nom with a 98.81%.

2. All XVT and XWA LoCs have been awarded. I have awarded special 2X LoCs for all pilots for our great accomplishment. I have also awarded several DFCs for specific wins in the Competition. Tek and Nom have also been put in for Merit Medals for their outstanding play.

3. Tau Squadron remains the COO's MP Squadron. I do not think anyone has a chance of knocking them off. Right Now General Kaerner's boys are simply the best in the fleet.

4. FreeWorlds ladders have granted several LoCs over the past weeks. I do not have access to grade matches on the ladders because Marcus did not list me as an administrator and the website is funny about letting me grade things. You will receive LoCs for the last ladder as soon as Marcus finishes off the late matches.

5. DSS hosted by Tek is currently in full stream. Get your 18 matches in before Monday.

6. IWATS MP and AMP can be taken at any time you feel the need to get in on all the MP love.

7. 24/7 LoCs are at http://combat.tiecorps.net

8. Ladders are at http://ladders.minos.net

9. Great MP week. Good work to everyone involved.

COO Report #29:  09.11.04

COO News:

1.  The Dark Brotherhood JKO Players have finished second in their respective WoW.  Outstanding work to Scoser who played (WTF?!) 194 games.  Great work to him and all others.  For those of you keeping track, thats a string of 1st (tied) in XVT, 1st in XWA, and now 2nd in JKO WoWs.  Great work!

2.   Great work to all of our FreeWorld players in this weeks series of Territory Engagements.  Last night we lost only the Golan Arms and the Coruscant Shipyards, which HA Pri calls a defensive victory on our part (The attackers in FW have a huge advantage).  I will be shipping out LoCs to all participants as soon as I get their Pins :p

3.  All in all I would like to thank the members of the EH for the recent Flurry of MP play.  All of you are making the club look very good.

4.  As always, any member with an ELS account can run and play in the EH ladders at http://ladders.minos.net This is a great system and is beneficial to any sort of MP event you want to run.

5.  24/7 LoCs are at http://combat.tiecorps.net I score them 2X a week and award DFCs to the person with the most wins (over three) in that time period.

COO Report #30:  09.19.04

COO News:

1. XVT WoW is on. If we get more pilots involved, we will make a run at first place. Currently Nam Anor is owning people.

2. There is a TE for FreeWorlds planned today at 1500 EST. We&#8217;ll be meeting in #ISD_Predator on mIRC 30mins before the start. The defense of Bespin is down to us &#8211; please try to attend.

3. XWA Week of War starts next Friday. Remember to give your best effort as the Zone is about to drop both XVT and XWA from its game roster.

4. JTL Beta is currently underway. Several EH'ers are busy flying for the Empire. XO Astatine says 'I pwn joo rebels'; after a crushing victory against several YWings.

5. With the soon to be released Commando and Battlefront look for a rush of activity in the MP realm over the next few months.

6. Great work to the EHDB and their continued presence at the JA and JO WoWs!

7. 24/7 LoCs are at http://combat.tiecorps.net

8. Ladder system is at http://ladders.minos.net

9. Starting next week, I will run an EH wide XVT And XWA single elimination MP tournament. Sign ups will go on the COO MB when I decide to start taking them.

10. That's it. Have a good week.

COO Report #31:  09.27.04

COO News:

1. The EH finished 2nd in XVT WoW. Great work to all of the pilots who participated. Once again, Tau squadron dominated the space lanes. Nom Anor and Rax both ranked in the top 10.

2. XWA Week of War is on. Get to your fighters and support the EH in XWA. This may be one of the few, if not the last XWA hosted on the Zone.

3. Battlefronts has been released and several people are currently playing it. Look for it to start popping up in several subgroups.

4. I currently have LoCs for the last Three TEs in FreeWorlds. I will be submitting these LoCs directly after this report. Great work to all who were involved. Including the last one where I was possible crashing the server :(

5. Several people are playing JTL Beta and giving it good reports. Look for more details to come soon.

Have a good week.

SOD/CA:FC Report:  09.10.04

I apologize for the laxness the last two weeks. I've been preparing for and settling into my new school environment. I am, however, happy to say that I like it very much and that all my teachers seem very cool. I do actually have a pretty open schedule, but unfortunately, I have a Saturday class that does not allow me to make the meetings.

Now then.... on to the real topic.

I have not yet had a chance to run a dead links check, so I'll get back to that issue next week.

SOD things:

I've modified the event timeline to include who I've selected as event judges, but again, because of the settling in at school, I haven't had the time to finish that yet. I'll be finishing that up tomorrow or Sunday and sending it out when I'm done, however.

This event timeline ought to be the last thing I need to do in terms of 10th Anniversary organization for awhile. I have some talking to do with Compton and RaAmon about the SWG events, however as for main club events that should basically end the planning stage and begin the implementation stage. The only other thing I need to do for the main club events is the list of people who I think should be nominated for certain 10th anniversary awards (ie, lifetime achievements)

That will be all for this week's report.

Hey Everyone, we have some news and some happenings this week. We found 2 broken links on the alliance page, Orion Strike Fleet and UFRC. Nightmare emailed those clubs, and for their own reasons, both are dead. As such, we lost 2 alliances off our page.

However I have also asked Nightmare to contact our allies about potential activities. I will be contacting the SGCOMs later this week as well, and I will see if any of our allies showed Nightmare any interest in activity.

Anyway with that said, lets move on to the rest of the report+ICY-

3) The message board is being cleaned of all reports, will have reports posted again starting with report +ACM-20. All reports earlier then 20 will be deleated+ICY-

4) Address all public AG emails to: eh+AF8-ag+AEA-yahoogroups.com

5) A new updated webpage is in the works (80-85+ACU-). While LT Demerzel is working on a postnuke webpage, there are still no member submitted materials. If you have anything you want on our site, please send it in :P Don+IBk-t care what it is .. so long as it is related to the AG, send it in +ICY- keep in mind that even if it doesn+IBk-t seem to help in the site, or its something outside of standard AG processes (ex. Fiction) our allies and possible allies will be viewing this page, and we want to give them a good first impression on how the EH, and its ambassadors, function

6) A huge thanks to Malik, a non member of the AG who has been kind enough to create and donate some very nice graphics for the AG and the AG website+ICY-

Lord Ambassador Report #21:  09.03.04

Not much to report on this week. Still waiting to hear from COL nightmare in regards to what is happening with the allies. As for myself, I will be away this weekend, so just leave an email and I will get to it ASAP when I return.
Anyway once we have an idea of which allies want to do some fun activities/comps with the EH, I will begin to contact the SGCOMs of groups that may be interested. For instance if only FPS allies are interested, I will contact the DB and HF, as there is no need to contact the TC or Senate who are not involved in such FPS.

Ohh btw, the new AG site is DONE+ACEAIQAh- Congrats to Dem on his hard work. I am not officially opening it yet, because I want to get anything squared away on it, but once I do, I can welcome you all aboard.

Lord Ambassador Report #22:  09.10.04

Well another slow week. I am still waiting to hear from Nightmare, if he received word from any of the allies yet. I plan to contact the SGCOMs this week regardless as I know of at least 1 ally who is willing, so while I wait words from the other allies, I�ll get the ball rolling with this one. I�ve also been in contact with a newly formed club which may be interested in an alliance. What struck me with this club was that, even though it is relatively new, it already has a decent size membership for its age, and it continues to grow. The club currently does RPG only, however is opening up in Battlefront, which will be released later this month.

Also the new website is open, posted below

I�d like to offer a congrats to Demerzel who has done an excellent job in the AG, and has been awarded a CoL. Congrats :P

Lord Ambassador Report #23:  09.17.04

<Salute>
Alright, SGCOMs will be gotten in touch with over the weekend, I apologize for the delay. I was also talking with our prospective ally, who at this point is not interested in an alliance due to internal restructuring, however once that is complete, they plan to request an alliance. So we have some good news there.

Also the new website is open, posted below� It will undergo some restructuring to give more information on our allies, with the goal of getting them closer to the EH relation wise.

Lord Ambassador Report #24:  09.24.04

Well another slow week. I need everyone to get in touch with me to give me a status update, because the momentum we had about 2-3 weeks ago is starting to run out. Again the possible alliance continues to assure me that they wish an alliance as soon as the redo their site and such. From what I have seen of what they have so far, they appear very promising once their new site is up and running. Anyway on to the rest �
