Vast Empire Stormtrooper Corps: Elite Squad Competition 2009 The competition will be run from after the July 19th meeting until an hour prior to the beginning of August 30th Meeting. http://comnet.imperialnetwork.com/topic/12641/#178156If a squad completes all three objectives of a phase, it will have to wait until the current phase ends. Phases will be posted at the following dates/times: Phase I - July 19th, 1:30pm PDT (4:30pm EDT) Phase II - August 2nd, 8:30pm PDT (11:30pm EDT) Phase III - August 16th, 1:30pm PDT (4:30pm EDT) If a squad finds itself having to wait to post until a new phase is up, they would do well to play games, do wiki work, or design graphics to ramp up the extra points. ****************************************************** Are the ongoing Squad Stories going to be put on hold during the ESC?

From my understanding, that is the best decision. As you want to win the Elite Title, you have to put forth as much effort as possible to gain it. That would mean putting aside your "normal" squad stories.
Technically you guys are the defending Elite folks right now (IH was the only squad to ever hold the title). If you want that trend to continue, focus on the ESC

Objectives are posted guys. Doc is right though. As soon as the ESC starts we are to focus on only the ESC for the time being.
With that, when it starts I want all effort to the ESC so we can continue to hold the title. It will be hard as we have had alot of changes happen. People who left and new ones here. So we need to prove even in the small squad that we are; that we can and will hold the ESC.

So far I cannot access the channel via Mibbet, Javachat and mIRC. I've even tried irc.vastempire.com and irc.fossiltechnology.com to no avail. Are there servers and whatnot down momentarily?

Alright guys, Sorry for not being around all day. Been one of those days where everything was Blah for me. Anyway, my reply is up for the ESC. Go ahead and post. I would like them longer then the normaly story posts we normaly do. At least 600 words if not more. Let's see some action and have fun! Also, the Squad story is on hold for right now until ESC is done.

Remember guys there are other parts to the ESC other than just writing. If you are around and can play a game with someone else in another squad or something you should do it. Don't forget about making graphics and stuff as well.
Let's see some awesome activity!! We do have a chance at winning this game!

Go a head and write yourself in, but please make sure that you move us towards our goal. We are to complete this in 15 or less posts. My guess is with in 1 or 2 would be best or exactly 15.

Ok, so I have some pretty good news for us. We are currently in second place! But Jester could easily pass us with a few well placed story posts, graphics, and games. Blackjack, on the other hand, has a fairly strong lead, but that isn't to say all is lost. We can catch them! We just need quality posting, graphics and gaming!!
C'mon IH let's show them who's the real elite!

Woot! Alright guys! Let's go! And sorry I have been gone. Been dealing with some RL stuff this week with getting stuff ready to move. It will be on and off like this until we get moved. So, with that, you guys don't have to wait for me to post. Drag my character along if you have to.
Also, Reports are due tommorow. Send them in to Sam and I. For those that were here before ESC I need to know how many of the Squad story posts you did as well as ESC posts. Heres the outline I want so It makes iteasier for us.
Rank&Name:
Squad posts:
ESC posts:
IRC: (yes or no)
Misc: Anything you did extra. Games, Graphics (for the ESC)
Tank, I know you don't have acess to IRC so don't worry about that part.

VE Star Corps are different actually, more along the lines of the "Watchmen" in here: http://www.vastempire.com/wiki/images/1/1a/Naval_Duty_Uniforms.pngJust letting you know. They do not wear Stormtrooper (or Clone) armor. They have the following description on our Wiki: Quote:The Star Corps are the marines of the army. They serve as a defense on space stations, starships, ship yards, and even space ports on the planets. Roles vary diversely, from tasks similar to the Security Corps on space stations, to conducting boarding operations on enemy vessels. Unit strength is approximately 180,000 soldiers in three corps, two serving the offensive fleet and another serving the defensive fleet with a 45,000 soldiers for each of those three. The remaining 45,000 serve on the space stations, ship yards, and space ports within VE systems.
(Source = http://www.vastempire.com/wiki/index.php?title=Outline_of_Current_Army_Structure - Do note the strength numbers here are far too low, don't use them)
