Emperor_Larsen: Officers of the Imperial Order, I welcome you to Meeting #332! Emperor_Larsen: To start off today's meeting, Grand Admiral Wulfman and I have a major announcement concerning the Fleet. Grand Admiral Wulfman, the floor is yours GA_Wulfman: Thank you Sir GA_Wulfman: Officers of the SSD Executor II, my current assignments and duties left me less time for my role as the Ship Commander. Therefore I have had a discussion with the Emperor and we both think that bringing all officers together on board of the ESD Leviathan is the best for the Imperial Order. GA_Wulfman: Furthermore, this was alo the result of the survey posted on the holonet. GA_Wulfman: It was a pleasure for me to take over the responsibility over the officer of the Imperial Order during the leave of Emperor Larsen and to continue with this over year after his return. Now is the time to transfer you all to his ship again. Emperor_Larsen: Thank you Grand Admiral Emperor_Larsen: Imperial Command Authority Report: Emperor_Larsen: 1.) Transfer to the Eclipse-class Star Destroyer Leviathan Emperor_Larsen: Effective immediately, all personnel stationed aboard the SSD Executor II are hereby transferred to the ESD Leviathan, Command Ship of the Imperial Order. Emperor_Larsen: All Wing/Regiment and Squadron/Platoon names, mottos, ships and current positions will remain the same. Specific attack and defense role designations for each squadron and platoon are subject to change, however. Emperor_Larsen: I will be in contact via email with the Commanding Officers for Furious, Avenger and Warbird this evening to give you your new orders, what I will be expecting from you and other pertinent information. Emperor_Larsen: The transfer will take place in three phases: Furious will be transferred over first, next Warbird, then finally Avenger. Emperor_Larsen: Your unit transfer will not be official until your Squadron/Platoon Commander receives an email from me. They in turn will inform you of what changes have taken place and give you the necessary updated information, including ID Lines, etc. Emperor_Larsen: There will be some changes taking place on how things are done, and I can tell you right off the bat that I expect and demand 110% activity and participation from everyone stationed aboard my ship. You are all now attached to the Empire's command ship and that carries a great responsiblity. Emperor_Larsen: Your Squadron and Platoon commanders will be giving you updated orders and tasks once I have spoken with them and the transfer has been completed. Emperor_Larsen: Finally, I am working on a new updated version of the ESD Leviathan site. I plan on releasing the new version at the end of the week, if not sooner. Emperor_Larsen: 2.) Imperial Olympics Final Round Emperor_Larsen: The Final Round, Round Four, of the Olympics ends this Friday at Midnight. All results for Round Four must be in by then. Emperor_Larsen: An awards ceremony is scheduled for this coming Saturday at 4pm EST here in the main channel. There will be no extensions Emperor_Larsen: given for this round, so do not ask for them. Emperor_Larsen: 3.) Training Officer Applications Emperor_Larsen: I will be accepting applications for the TRO spot until this Wednesday night. After that, the application process will be closed and I will begin reviewing the applications in more detail. Emperor_Larsen: 4.) Fleet-wide Survey Emperor_Larsen: The Fleet-wide Survey is still going on, I encourage you to fill out this survey if you have not done so already. The survey is located at: Emperor_Larsen: http://www.imperialorder.net/io_survey.html Emperor_Larsen: The feedback received so far has been very good and it helps myself and the High Command to find solutions to the problems some of you have identified. Emperor_Larsen: That is all from Imperial Command today. As I mentioned, further updates concerning the Transfer will be sent out via email, and I will post general information on the Holonet Emperor_Larsen: Grand Admiral Wulfman, any reports from the Chief of Operations Office? GA_Wulfman: Yes I do GA_Wulfman: We are going to have a Mission of Urgency for the Squadron and Platoon Transfer. The SSD Executor II has been an active ship ever since the Imperial Order started and of course when you leave the ship it is time for you to make sure this runs smoothly. GA_Wulfman: Also, Rear Admiral Trojan will stay on board of the SSD Executor Ii as Ship Commander and assist me with the ITF and EI. GA_Wulfman: This is all I have for now, thank you Emperor_Larsen: Thank you Wulf Emperor_Larsen: Rear Admiral Curgenven, any reports from the Communications Office?

RA_J-Curgenven: RA Porteous and myself are starting work on version 3 of the IO mIRC, and as many of you know, we're asking what features people would like to see in it. Remember, the idea of our own version is to make it easy for day-to-day IO functions, as well as ease of use for new recruits, and new users to IRC, so bare that in mind when suggesting features you think should be added RA_J-Curgenven: I believe thats all from me for today sir, thank you Emperor_Larsen: Very good, thank you Curg, and congratulations to LTCOL Shadow on that hefty IC win Emperor_Larsen: Rear Admiral Max, any reports from the Logistics Office? RA_Max_Porteous: just a brief one sir RA_Max_Porteous: we didn't have any graduations this month, much to my regret RA_Max_Porteous: also, in future, deadlines for coursework will be the Saturday before graduation RA_Max_Porteous: for those courses that have written tests, those will be sent when your coursework is recieved and must be returned before graduation RA_Max_Porteous: dont' be afraid to sign up for courses, they'll do you and your IO career good :D RA_Max_Porteous: that's all for this week, thank you sir Emperor_Larsen: Thank you Max Emperor_Larsen: Rear Admiral Snailman, any reports from the Tactical Office?

MG_Ty1: Yes, M'Lord. MG_Ty1: First off, Avenger has been on the down side lately. A large part of that is my fault. I want to see it go back to what it once was. But, I can't do it myself. Let's see if we can't bring the unit back together. MG_Ty1: Secondly, I have a few items of business...

LTCOL_Ardellian: I have a rather long report today, my Lord. LTCOL_Ardellian: Firstly, I would like to thank the officers who have started taking part in the email RPG round. If anyone wants in on this, it's not too late, please let me know at perja@imperialorder.net and I'll make sure you're added. Any officer who wishes to create a subsite for this is more than welcome and will be rewarded. It is NOT too late to join. LTCOL_Ardellian: Then I remind all those interested in RPG that we need to have your availabilities to make sessions where the maximum number of people can participate. LTCOL_Ardellian: You'll find the relevant thread on the Holonet at http://www.imperialorder.org/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=000415 LTCOL_Ardellian: Also, submitting RPG ideas could get you credits offered by RA Porteous! So get those brain cells moving! LTCOL_Ardellian: First to recieve his money is MG Jjerrows. Congratulations. :) * LTCOL_Ardellian hands MG_Jjerrows|MO a check for 10,000 IC MG_Jjerrows|MO: thanks very much+ LTCOL_Ardellian: :) LTCOL_Ardellian: Third, Warbird's site will be updated soon. I am looking for a new banner. The Emperor offers 50,000 ICs and a Bronze Star to the winner. I will be accepting submissions for the banner until June 1st, 2003. LTCOL_Ardellian: The following annoucement is of particular interest to Warbird Wing. The new edition of the Wing Current Orders will be released within the next 15 days. Be sure to read them carefully. They supercede any orders that you may have had. It will be released after review and approval of the ICA. LTCOL_Ardellian: From Osprey: For a change, you will not be viewing another edition of "Gimme your reports or else." I don't think it gave any kind of result. Instead, with the approval and help of the Emperor, I have devised a new scheme to get good and active officers. Despite a certain lack of response I would prefer to attribute to real life demands, I am starting a new training regimen as an experiment. LTCOL_Ardellian: Training will no longer be on a "Train as you arrive" basis but will be made in sessions. A session starts and finishes at a predetermined time - hopefully with cadet graduation. LTCOL_Ardellian: They recieve training via email with information about the IO and will participate in limited RPG sessions to help them get a hang of the system. * LTCOL_Ardellian takes a gulp of water LTCOL_Ardellian: To aid me in the training of the RPG cadets, I am looking for officers who are willing to co-write some of the material. I am particularly interested in HC officers who would describe their office. The material I need has to fit in the following "lessons": LTCOL_Ardellian: Day 2 - Morning: Presentation of the Imperial Order - Communication systems : On the importance of email, IRC and the Holonet LTCOL_Ardellian: Day 2 - Afternoon: Presentation of the Imperial Order - Rules and command structure : CoC, command structure, offices, positions, etc. LTCOL_Ardellian: Day 3 - Morning: Presentation of Warbird - History and Squadrons : For any officer who has been a Warbird and who can contribute to the history of the Wing. LTCOL_Ardellian: An HTML version will also find its way onto the Warbird site. LTCOL_Ardellian: Day 3 - Afternoon: Presentation of Warbird - RPG types LTCOL_Ardellian: Day 4 - Morning: RPG rules and training LTCOL_Ardellian: Day 4 - Afternoon: Presentation of the Oath and its purpose : Why the IO has an Oath and what it means LTCOL_Ardellian: You can submit your material either in the form of testimonials (your experience of those things) or a more formal holoprojector lesson. Length is left at your discretion. LTCOL_Ardellian: I would like those ASAP, as training is ongoing at the moment and the material needs to be written up LTCOL_Ardellian: Last, today marks the second year I have been present in the IO, although not always as a member. I would like to thank all those who took time to talk to that "annoying rebel" and made me want to join. :) (w00t, never thought I'd have a report so long to make). Drinks in the lounge after the meeting. There will be a full blown party at the end of June/ start of July to celebrate my year in the IO, invites will be issues in the fullness of time. LTCOL_Ardellian: That's all from me today and from the looks of rejoicement on your faces, you're in great need of those drinks ;) Emperor_Larsen: Very good, Thank you Perja LTCOL_Ardellian: Oh one last thing Emperor_Larsen: yes? LTCOL_Ardellian: Anyone who wants to submit something should do so by emailing me at perja@imperialorder.net LTCOL_Ardellian: Thanks :) Emperor_Larsen: ok Emperor_Larsen: Lieutenant Colonel Shadow, any reports from Kappa Squadron or the A:MO Office? LTCOL_Shadow: just a few sir LTCOL_Shadow: 1)Morale Office - Please remember to check the VID to see if all the information is correct, if it is not email me at deamon2k@yahoo.com LTCOL_Shadow: 2)Morale Office - more jokes and pictures needed LTCOL_Shadow: 3)congrats to everyone today for all the promotions and winners LTCOL_Shadow: thats all sir Emperor_Larsen: Thank you Dev Emperor_Larsen: And that will wrap up our agenda for today. This was the longest meeting we've had in awhile and I'm glad to see everyone is doing in a good job, let's keep up the great work everyone! This meeting is hereby adjourned!
