Prefect's Report 3.14.10 My apologies first of all for the lateness of this report. The internet has not been very kind to me (save for mobile phone access) as of late, and therefore I have not been on for a couple days (which includes my sudden disappearance on Sunday). We have a few changes going on in the Army once again and I'll elaborate on that in a bit.ARC (Advanced Recon Commandos) Yes, that is correct: Advanced Recon Commandos have finally launched off the ground. After Angel's lack of getting them up and running for HSC we had a few comings and goings of their member roster, which made things difficult to open them up with a story. Finally, we managed to get a really good time operational and they have started their story last week. Thus far, they seem to be taking an early jump on activity. To be an ARC is to be the best of the best in terms of activity and ability to write. You need to be an all-around good member just to even be considered. From there, the ARC Lead and myself whittled down the list until we had the 6 names that I have to announce today.
- ARC LEAD: Havock (Whiskey)
- ARC 2: Ron (Jericho)
- ARC 3: Corvin (Target)
- ARC 4: Abalar (Jester)
- ARC 5: Brightstar (Wildcat)
- ARC 6: Zeshaun(Gecko)
Congratulations to them all! ARC members this time around have established a dual identity so that if we have major storylines they can have an ARC mission without it interfering with their normal character. We'll see more uses for ARC in the coming months, but at the moment all that really needs to be known is they are established.Squad Morale For the most part, everyone seems to be "around" in some shape or form and posting when and where they can. We are not in top shape though, we're almost struggling to survive. In some cases, its lack of leadership; in others, its lack of motivation; and yet in others its just dont give a care. What will we do about this? Simple. If for some reason you aren't happy where you are and don't WANT TO participate (not to be confused with want to but can't) tell us why. The VE is here to be a fun place for all, and at most times it is. However, we want to be able to accommodate as many as we can if it is within our means. Often times it is not, but we still try nonetheless. Now, if you are busy in real life, that's one thing: take leave or what have you; my concern is those who no longer have the interest to be here: I want to know why. If we need to start sending surveys around, we'll do that too. It just seems that most of us lack motivation around here and if we can fix that, let's do so.Gaming Squad For a long time we have gone without gaming in the Vast Empire. For the most part it has all but died out. It wasn't always this way however. There was a time where there was a 50/50 split between gaming and writing. Over the years, it shifted to 60/40 and continued to decline. We don't even consider gaming "activity" anymore unless its a competition. This needs to be corrected. We're NOT a writing club, we are a Star Wars club that celebrates ALL FORMS of activities provided we have the members willing. At the present time, we would drive out all gamers by telling them that gaming does not count for activity. I have been given the necessary authorizations to run a field test to see how we could perform. So, those who are interested in the gaming squad: comnet pm me a list of ALL MULTIPLAYER MILITARY GAMES (Can be flying or ground combat...just make sure you can play it) and specify what system you have it for (PC, 360, Wii, PS3, PSP, etc.) and from there I'll try to get a group of you that are compatible with each other for the trial run. If this gets off the ground, we can also recruit from the gaming end and not just the writing end. For those wanting further details, ask when you give me your list. For the purposes of the trial, this will be Army Domain (on the roster) but it is open to both divisions. (Be sure and tell your Navy friends) After that, we'll see how successful things were and take it from there.AWOL Checks Some of you are conducting AWOL Checks, others are not. Make sure that if you are NOT that you either have done one recently or that ALL of your members are accounted for. (Meaning if not here they at least took leave) You are going to get sick of me saying this, but we're nearing full capacity and therefore need to make sure EVERYONE is here that IS here and not just taking up a spot with no intention of return. Currently, we have 4 spots open with 2 people (at least) filling those spots in the coming days. So before I give the go ahead to open up the new squad, I want to make sure we're all present and accounted for. IF this is correct, expect some big news in the coming days.Competitions After the beginning of the month, we're going to be rolling out with some competitions for you. I can't say at the moment what they will entail, but just know that it will be well worth the 4-month wait since HSC. As usual, there will be plenty of prizes to go around, so stay tuned for more information on that.Closing Once again, I apologize for getting this out so late. For those who celebrate it: Happy St. Patrick's Day. Be sure and drink some green beer! Let's keep up the good work everyone and we'll see you next week!
