Hello boys, here's the place where we're all gunna socialize and get to know eachother.

This is basically the off IRC, off AIM/MSN talk spot. Also where squad updates will be posted, also being sent via email, but for assurance that you all actually get it, it's going to be posted here. I hope to see this have at least 3 pages by the middle of August, so have at it boys, socialize!

Back when I was the Squad Leader of the Raiders during our last Elite Squad Competition, our most (and only) formidable opponent was the Iron Horse. It was so close, in fact, that if we had only won just a few more MP games, we would've captured the title of "Elite".

The point is that Iron Horse was the most active squad in The Vast Empire Stormtrooper Corps. Aim for that same activity this time around. With Otto Vox as your Iron Horse's new SL, I'm sure you'll reach your goal.

We're allowed to do footwork, if need be. But right now, for this mission, it's best to stay in the AT-PT's when possible, our job is to blow the big stuff.

On a different note:
Due to recent events of attempted backstabbing because some people actually have lives to lead and can't constantly be online, Shawn Tylers is no longer the ASL of Iron Horse. The rest of you however, may send in your requests for the position if you want it. Shawn, if you send one, it's going right into my trash bin, so don't bother.

I sense trouble in paradise.

If either/both of you would care to send along an email to me explaining what is going on, I'd sure the hell like to see it.

Thanks.

Alright, as I understand the situation thus far, I only have a couple things to say.

People attain rank and position in this outfit by doing the job they are assigned and by giving proper respect and due diligence to those ranked and positioned above them.

We do NOT make power grabs nor try to remove someone from a position without a DAMN GOOD REASON. Being offline for a few days isn't even on the radar for qualifying as one of those.

I do not know how other clubs do it, and I really don't give a damn. This is the one I'm a member of. This is the one someone has insanely let me be a division leader of. Its the only one I'm in because I can't stand the BS of other clubs. I believe a lot of others will agree with that position.

That said, know your rank, know your place, help out when you can, as you can. Do not deign to go beyond that as a manner of attaining prestige or power. If you are in this for power, you are sorely in the wrong club.

Thanks Fury

On the ASL topic, I've only recieved one request so far. The chance will be open for another week, then I will decide.

On note of the story, in the past 6 posts, 4 of them have been Iron Horse members, keep up the good work

The main idea right now, is that if something pops into your head after reading the latest two posts, post it. Make it good, it doesn't have to be terribly long, but make it long enough that when you're writing it, you actually have to scroll up and down the writing area. Oh, and once you're done writing it, copy and paste it to a word processor and do a spell check. If every thing is spelled correctly and grammically correct, the post looks better

Would it be ok if I modified the At-Pt I am in on the storynet? And what type of weapons and speed do At-Pts have? Sorry about this stupid question but I really don't know.

Umm, it'd be kind of hard to have it modified during the mission, but I'm sure if you mention that you had it modified before the mission, you could get away with it. As far as the weapons go:
An AT-PT has 1 Twin blaster cannon and 1 Concussion grenade launcher, with a speed of 60 kmh.

For further reference, if you ever need to find the specs of a weapon or vehicle, you can go the main page and click on Imperial Vigil Enterprises, under products, and what ever the type of weapon or vehicle is, you'll find the specs for it.

RE: Iron Horse Topic

Okay IH, here's the deal:

I have spoken with a few of you in the past, and every one of you has the potential to be active. In fact, I've seen you do it at one point or another! The question remains: why do you keep staying on the inactive run. If you are going to use the arguement that there is not a long time left in the competion: you're wrong. There is plenty of time left to do something even if you have not done anything. Most of you are new at this, so I'll cut you some slack and give a list of things you can do.

1. Recruit when you can as often as you can. Report all recruits into your SL who will forward the list to me of who recruited who.

2. Post on the story. Chimera is starting to do it, and some of you are just getting the idea to go for it. Keep it up, you can still catch up to the RAIDERS.

3. Play MP Games against anyone but those in your squad. Report it in, and I will get you a comment posted officializing the match.

4. Any VE activity like graphic making or website making will get you points. Those that play JO, the JORPG will earn you points. I have started some regular competitions for Chess/Cribbage on the Competition Net and the Main Comnet. Those can earn you points as well. Anything backed by the VE will earn you points.

Like most of your superiors have said before me, IH was once the most active squad in the Army. Not to discredit you all or anything, but it has sunk to the most inactive in all of the army. Is this due to poor leadership? Perhaps, but the main reason is because there is no motivation amoung the troops. Now, I will make this offer to you as well as to the other squads. For the rest of the week, anyone who makes a substancial post (250+ words) that forwards the story along will get 1000 ICs per post. All those who don't even post will be paying 500 each to your SL. I can and WILL get that enforced. Oh, those who are on leave are exempt from paying the 500 if they dont post.

Hey IH's. The story is real simple. I am new at it, and since I haven't been corrected at my posts I figure I am doing ok. So please post. I can't keep talking for all the Iron Horses in the story. We used to be the BEST squad here now were the worst and I don't think just having me being active will save it. so please write. Oh and to any Superiors reading this. I know this is your job but I thought I could help a little. Though I probobly will be Tar and Feathered by the Iron Horses that read this.

Anyone who wants to tar and feather you, Kairo, will have to come through me. Because this kind of attitude is exactly what we need. I know that might sound hypocritical coming from me as of late, but I've just been swamped lately, and haven't had the chance to get online. And I'm sorry for that. Because I've been away, I haven't been able to see how active you guys actually are. So I'm going to be initiating an AWOL check that I'm going to be sending out via email. You'll be getting a week to reply, so respond ASAP after getting it. Anyone who is deemed AWOL from that check will be removed immediatly. So reply, please.

By the way Otto Vox. Dark Pheonix has been moving I think, so he is still on it is just harder for him to stay on for long periods of time.
