Emperor_Larsen: Greetings all, and welcome to Imperial Order Meeting #342! Emperor_Larsen: Imperial Command Authority Report: Emperor_Larsen: 1.) Mission of Urgency Emperor_Larsen: The Deadline for this MoU is coming up quickly, the last day to send in your pilot file or story is this Sunday, July 20th. I have not received very many files yet, this mission is *Mandatory* for everyone aboard the ESD Leviathan! Emperor_Larsen: Those who do not submit an entry for the MoU will have their pay docked for the month of August. Emperor_Larsen: Also, I will reiterate my initial instructions - and this goes for any MoU - Under no circumstances whatsoever are scores, stories, or mission tactics to be discussed between anyone until the MoU deadline is over! Emperor_Larsen: Get those pilot files and story entries in asap! Emperor_Larsen: 2.) TI Deadline Emperor_Larsen: The deadline for the TI is July 25th....as with the MoU, I have not received many files for this edition - so whatever you are working on, get a move on and send those submittals in! Emperor_Larsen: On a better note, the TI will be sporting a new design for this edition. Emperor_Larsen: 3.) Address to the Fleet Emperor_Larsen: If you have not read my Address to the Fleet post, I would recommend you do so asap. As I stated in that post, there will be some personnel removals soon, pending a review by me. These case reviews will include overall career, current levels of activity, contributions made to the IO and skills. Emperor_Larsen: I have already removed some officers who had not been heard from in a long time, if you don't want to fall into this category, I would recommend you get active now. Take some IDEV courses, fly some of the IO Battles and talk to your Commanding Officer about what you can do to help the IO and your unit! Emperor_Larsen: 4.) Mission/Level Creators Emperor_Larsen: The IO needs dedicated officers with mission and level building skills. I can't stress this enough. Part of mission or level building is the ability for *you* to create your own vision or story in the SW Galaxy and be able to play it and let others enjoy it. IDEV has plenty of resources and courses covering mission/level creation so I would recommend that everyone sign up for one Emperor_Larsen: For those of you who have these skills already and want to put them to use, include in your next report to your CMDR that you would be interested in making some missions and/or levels, this way your CO and myself will know who has what skills. Emperor_Larsen: Finally, I have a couple of other items, however those will be posted on the Holonet later tonight. And due to some electrical problems over the weekend, my time on the computer was limited and erratic, so I will be sending out replies to emails I've received over the past couple of days. Emperor_Larsen: That is all from Imperial Command. Emperor_Larsen: Vice Admiral Max, any reports from the Logistics Office? VA_Max_Porteous: yes sir VA_Max_Porteous: firstly, let me express my great pleasure in the response I have had so far for the aurabesh course VA_Max_Porteous: grades for those who have completed the course have been confirmed and you will be hearing shortly VA_Max_Porteous: I hope activitiy levels in IDEV generally will increase following the Emperors recommendations VA_Max_Porteous: the courses not only help the Imperial Order, but they help you to grow and develop your own personal skills VA_Max_Porteous: for those of you who have become idle...I will be expecting better attendance at the monthly reviews VA_Max_Porteous: this is where you can come and talk about problems and make suggestions for improvements to the courses VA_Max_Porteous: remember, IDEV is there for you guys VA_Max_Porteous: that's all I have for this week, thank you Emperor_Larsen: Thank you Max Emperor_Larsen: Rear Admiral Curgenven, any reports from the Communications Office? RA_J-Curgenven: Umm, nothing this week sir. I'll try and rustle something up next week Emperor_Larsen: Ok, thank you Curg Emperor_Larsen: Colonel Ardellian, any reports from Warbird Wing? COL_Ardellian: Yes my Lord COL_Ardellian: First, a novelty in any unit under my command. For the first time in months, I am satisfied with the report turn out and activity. Participation is high and of good quality. COL_Ardellian: Thank you and keep up the good work. Remember, kids, a happy WC is a WC that doesn't slice you up for her snacks. COL_Ardellian: In other news, the Warbird Gaming week has had a more satisfactory turn out than the weekend.
