I'm a guy in RL, but I'll take the drink.

*Jenny drinks down a glass of root beer and raises it up in return for the welcome

BTW, I'll have to change my e-mail address, since my yahoo one is overloaded at the moment, it's [email protected].

Welcome to the squad, Spartan, I just got in today, but was joined yesterday, not to my knowledge, of course. Have a glass of drink on me, alright, Spartan?

edit: well, it's late, so I better get going, didn't get a chance to read the story, but hopefully I'll read it tomorrow.

Wow, we are really getting a lot of people.

Welcome e-mails should be in the mail right soon, keep a look out.

Welcome to the squad Spartan! Have fun, post a lot, and go nutz!

I think the VE has an optomologist (heck, I can't say it) so...get glasses dude!

First off, welcome new vict-  erm, new Wraiths, to the best squad in existence.

Second, Arnaut, I don't think I'll be able to post today.  In fact, I'm busy enough that I won't be able to be counted on to post at all.  If by some miracle I have spare time, I will, but I'm not gonna be able to at least for tonight.

G'night all.

I noticed the lack of activity from IRC last night, Arnaut, when I talked to Namyr and members of the Eclipse Squad, including Wicket, who claimed themselves to be the best squad, even though they too lack activity.

There are also some things I should point out to you, Arnaut, especially about the squad meetings. You see, being from China, the time zones here are different than where you live. From a perspective in America, me getting on VE, would be about when you wake up early for work, like Yillis is now, around let's say 6 or 7 in the morning.

Anyways, it's really hard to put this in the right words, for my knowledge of the exact time difference between the different time zones is almost utterly ignorant, so I would like to talk with Aranut in the wraith squad channel on IRC, on Sunday mornings at about 8 o'clock. I know this might be weird, but real life for me has been almost supernatural lately, so this is not unexpected.

Also, I would like to bring this into attention, for it seems, Arnaut, you didn't know that I have already had a speciality when I left Dark Dragoons, so I told this to Rizzit, and he should tell you soon.

Plus, I'm a big fan of star wars game, but lately, well, there hasn't much great computer games in the star wars universe for the PC, but I did find The Jedi Knight series interesting, (you know, Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy) though my brother has left me a great game called F.E.A.R., and it is creepy, let me tell you. If any of you are interested in talking about it, I'm always up for a little chat in the lounge, when I have time that is.

Hope this isn't too long, Arnaut, but I had to explain my situation, I hope y'all can understand.

edit: darn, I nearly forgot this, but I'll need someone to help me with the 'wraith pride' sig, if that's alright with you guys.

also, I have an army corps teaching on the 18th, it will last till the 24th, don't ask me why, because I'm new to the whole high school system in Beijing (yes, the home of the 2008 Olympics), but I'll make sure to get a report in on the night of the 17th, no matter what.

edit 2: got to go, read about half of the first page, but was delayed because watched the ceremony for the one-year-until-2008 Olympics thing, so didn't get too much progress than I should have.

Um...do you exist? If so, the answer is yes If you are here, whether or not higher-ups have gotten you back on the roster, you count. The roster isn't God. It's a handy tool that doesn't get updated nearly often enough.

And Jenn, don't worry too much about the welcome letter. It's mass-produced,  tailored toward new recruits just getting here so...I realize you have a spec, but I still have to send out the welcoming letter all the same. Some things in there don't apply.

I might be available on IRC Sundays at 8.00. Not so sure. Maybe sometime like...Saturday morning? That'd be better. Or some other time like that. Sundays aren't the best time for me.

For the Wraith Pride thingy, just run on over to the topic labeled 'Squad Tag BBcoded thingies' on the Army main. It has them all. You can thank Riq for that.

Meetings aren't really...implemented...much anymore. No one came. So...yeah. As soon as people actually show up for meetings, we'll re-start them. Until then, though, don't count on one for the squad.

yea, just posted. nothing hugh but it's moving the story.....kinda......maybe.....

und das gut ja? o nein?

Working on a Specialty Story.  Should be up by late tomorrow, early friday, depending on work.  Just FYI

uh........really not trying to sound like a jerk here but shouldn't our top priority right now be the squad story.  granted I haven't been giving it my all either lately but shouldn't everything else come second? just curious.

I'm here, and promised to work hard on getting a post up on that story. Thanks for the heads-up, Riqimo, and thanks for the clear-up, Arnaut, just make you're there on Saturday morning, alright?

My post is up and since Jenn and I are in different groups, it shouldn't matter.  It's a bit short, heck very short but honestly, I still haven't gotten the feel for the mission yet.  It's not really a great feeling when you get slammed into the middle of a mission.  It doesn't really move the story much anyways, just providing Talstorin's uncertainty.  This leaves Spartan to do a quick post I suppose before the big kidnapping.  You know, so he doesn't feel rushed.  I know I would feel wierd being forced to write about a kidnapping out of the blue.  Anways, enjoy.  Spartan, if you can, do a post before tommorow morning?  It's alright if you can't and it doesn't have to be long.  Expect a better post tommorow...

As for the short story progress, Arn.  Since I can post on this story and finish up my short story, my activity from now on shouldn't be disrupted though the progress of the short story might be slowed.  Expect it up by the weekend though.

And now I'm just reminded we have specialties....  Guess I should get to work on that as well, I kinda want that pink Slicer Tag on my signature. It might go well with the pink wild card tag.

For specs you have completed and/or working on

Arnaut wrote:Nice, nice.

What spec, if I may ask?

Demolitions and Heavy Ordnance.

Kairo wrote:That's not a spec... well, not really. Have you talked to Rizzit and gotten a specialty for real? If so, are you talking about Heavy Weapons there?

Sorry, I meant Combat Engineer.  Still getting used to the vernacular around here.  Rizzit told me to go with it, so I got his stamp.

That's better. *points at his shiny new signature*
