21:04:08: MAJ_KPT_ILB_Havock Hello and welcome to the long overdue vast empire meeting
21:05:24: MAJ_KPT_ILB_Havock We have dancing girls in the back, and regardless of what they say my full body search was not molesting
21:05:50: MAJ_KPT_ILB_Havock So both the army and the navy currently have AWOL (but not called AWOL) checks
21:06:12: MAJ_KPT_ILB_Havock Please do report as requested and don't be late or Santachrist will not visit you
21:07:00: MAJ_KPT_ILB_Havock The squads....exist, I promise they are not simply haunting things but more posts and activity would be just awesome and prevent me from killing you
21:08:05: MAJ_KPT_ILB_Havock Also many folks have started playing TOR, and if you are one of them, kindly let your local VE Marine recruiter know
21:08:19: MAJ_KPT_ILB_Havock You can tell actual marine recruiters but I doubt the will care
21:08:30: MAJ_KPT_ILB_Havock Now then
21:09:04: MAJ_KPT_ILB_Havock I believe Raziel had a short report about all the things we are doing on the DJO that is putting your activity to shame
21:09:32: DJC_COL_Raziel Thank you Major
21:09:50: DJC_COL_Raziel So we'll be making a few more stories public over the next few weeks
21:10:30: DJC_COL_Raziel Whilst the DJO has always run on a slightly parallel canon to the rest of the VE, there are some fairly important events that have transpired behind closed doors that need to be in the public ve domain.
21:10:58: DJC_COL_Raziel Information about how the NJO exists in our galaxy that is quite different to the EU canon, for instance.
21:11:39: DJC_COL_Raziel The Shadownet was started some time ago to allow the DJO to put stories out there for everyone to see
21:11:41: DJC_COL_Raziel http://comnet.imperialnetwork.com/
21:12:01: DJC_COL_Raziel There is plenty there to read, and we are quite happy for people to comment on the thread that has not been locked
21:12:32: DJC_COL_Raziel It's been there since August 2010, and there hasn't been a single comment or question
21:12:55: MAJ_KPT_ILB_Havock You lazy bastards
21:12:57: DJC_COL_Raziel Which is slightly surprising, given how much time some members have spent trying to pry information about the DJO from us in the past.
21:13:10: DJC_COL_Raziel Anyway
21:13:44: DJC_COL_Raziel The interesting notion I wanted to mention today was this: corss-divisional stories with the DJO and army/navy
21:13:50: DJC_COL_Raziel This won't be easy
21:14:21: DJC_COL_Raziel The DJO tends to write stories at a slower pace, even the runons take months and involve 3k+ word posts.
21:14:39: DJC_COL_Raziel However, we feel it's worth a shot.
21:14:56: DJC_COL_Raziel especially as we haven't had any fully public stories since about 2003?
21:15:15: DJC_COL_Raziel For DJO members: there is a small competition and a series of runons planned.
21:15:28: DJC_COL_Raziel Impress me in these if you want to be awarded a journey.
21:15:48: DJC_COL_Raziel Take some initiative and write me something without being prompted and I'll be even more impressed.
21:15:52: DJC_COL_Raziel That is all from me.
21:16:06: MAJ_KPT_ILB_Havock Thank you Raziel sir
21:16:42: MAJ_KPT_ILB_Havock Now we shall hear from the navy, Trykon please join me at the podium...I will try to keep my hands to myself...
21:17:10: LT_Trykon Thank you, Major. Do or do not.
21:17:16: LT_Trykon Ahem.
21:17:19: MAJ_KPT_ILB_Havock 
21:17:36: LT_Trykon Big news for the Navy, as it happens:
21:17:53: LT_Trykon The first two stories in the Counterpunch arc are drawing to a close.
21:18:58: LT_Trykon Famine has detailed the destruction of the Imperial Dominion's border worlds and reserve garrisons and fleets, and Pestilence has revealed the existence of a grave threat to the Vast Empire
21:19:38: LT_Trykon This next week, both stories will wind to their conclusions, shinies and promotions will be awarded, and the roster will be overhauled.
21:20:23: LT_Trykon I'm taking this opportunity to introduce some long-awaited reforms into the way the Navy - particularly the Starfighter Corps - operates (mostly OOC, but IC as well)
21:21:12: LT_Trykon And with all the changes, the new Navy will start the next story in the arc - War - late next week or possibly early the following.
21:21:27: LT_Trykon Exciting stuff all around.
21:21:44: LT_Trykon So, stay tuned.
21:21:51: LT_Trykon That's all from me, Major.
21:22:03: MAJ_KPT_ILB_Havock Thank you LT
21:22:33: LT_Trykon nods
21:23:14: MAJ_KPT_ILB_Havock I believe that is all for today, everyone please tip your waitresses and spend some time hanging out on irc if you are able
21:23:28: MAJ_KPT_ILB_Havock Dismissed
