The Fringe - EH Roleplaying Game (EH RPG)
If any EH members have been playing Star Wars Galaxies, but have not been
playing as part of the EH Player Association on the Chilastra server, Sony
Online has just announced that they will soon allow people to transfer their
characters from one server to another. So if anyone has been wanting to join the
official EH PA, but hasn't been playing on our server, now's your chance! Follow
this link for the details:
http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=Announcements&message.id=246
Your characters will transfer over with all their skills intact, but will
unfortunately not retain any of your items. If you come to Chilastra, the EH PA
will absolutely assist you with replacing the items (armor, weapons, housing)
you left behind. If you decide to join us, contact Jahn, Holu or Krenn'sa in
game, and we'll get you set up.

<SALUTE>
Greetings FC! Of late, there has been quite a few incidents of people wanting
the old EH Picture Archive back, and also several incidents of people asking for
an EH Global Map with locations of all the members.
So, the genius' over in the TIE Corps Battlegroup decided to put two and two
together, and we've come up with EH Member Profiles. This gives EH members an
opportunity to tell a little bit about their real life, some stuff about their
eh life people may not know, and a little bit of random info that's just cool to
know. You can view the beta of this at
http://profiles.tcbg.net
Currently the map isn't up, as I wanted to wait until I had a large group of
locations to put up on the map, but it's ready to go, just needs little dots
placed all over it :).
I'd like to request that you pass this to your CS and SGCOMs, and that all of
you submit a profile for this. EHCS and SGCOMs are prolly the people us peons in
the EH are most interested in, and I think it would be a good morale project for
all of the EH, if all/most of the EHCS we're included in this project. So I've
decided to invite all of you to this before it is made public to the EH as a
whole.
And, as it says on site, if this project kicks off and is successful, we're
going to put it in a nice database, making updating automatic, etc., but for now
it'll be done manually.
Thanks a Lot!

<Salute>
New fix for TIE95, XW95. Includes 3D support (makes it look like XvT), in
Windows 2000 and all XP Operating Systems.
This works, CrimsonFury, BubbaX and I have used it and its great and easy to do!
Go to....
www.lucasfiles.com
download the patch (approx 300kb)....uninstall\reinstall TIE\XW (alternatively,
just 'undo' any old fixes you may have already installed), Install EHSP for TIE,
run the patch.exe....and your done!
Its worth it if your a FCHG whore like me :D
That's all there is too it!
note: just make sure that your paths in EHBL are correct, that's the only
"problem" we have had at the moment.

So to add to my already exciting and erratic time at
Comic-Con...Today there was a 2 hour panel with the head of The Star Wars Fan
Club Steve somebody or other. He showed us lots of things from the DVDs Rick
Mccullom came from London and brought Hayden with him and that was really
neat....BUT the most exciting thing was when they RELEASED the name for Episode
III.
"Revenge of the Sith"
Jahn and I were so excited we were screaming and shouting and almost crying. It
was a very neat experience and I am so glad that I got to go. That was the first
place that it was released. We also got to buy the new T-Shirts which are really
cool.
For the rest of my time I got to meet Kenny Baker (R2-D2), Ray Park (Darth Maul)
and Carrie Fisher (leia) and get there autographs and pictures. I also meet Jake
Lyod (young Anakin) and Daniel Logan (young Boba) and had some really cool
conversations with them. they were all very nice people. Unfortunately I didnt
think about getting any specific EH autographs as i was so wrapped up in the
whole experience. ( sorry Joe)
I also got a Comic-Con exclusive action figure a solid silver sandtrooper that
looks really cool. ( Yes Jeff I got you one)
JTL.....
I did get a chance to play some more and it was really fun. the controls are a
lot like they were for XWA (buttons on keyboard are different) but seem a lot
more advanced and easier to use. if your targeting is really good you can hit
things at about 400 or so meters. The game play seems to be really tight and
very well done. I also found out how they are going to pick for JTL Beta. They
are going to have EVERYONE who attended Fan Fest automatically signed up so
LUCKY me and Jahn. Then they are going to bring in veterans giving prefrence to
those that do a lot on test. then to the rest if needed. they are going to open
Beta in about a month so I cant wait for that.

XO Report 35: 08.08.04
I've been having a bit of a think lately about how things run and after a few
conversations with the FC, I've decided that I'll try the nice approach with our
command officers and members. I honestly don't like firing people or having to
play the bad cop and in the end, it's a bit self defeating. However, this sort
of thing always involves two sides, so it will require an effort on all command
officers to try to be more open minded and accepting of what we are trying to
achieve in the Emperor's Hammer.
Most of the COs seem to be progressing well with their assigned tasks. I'll be
performing a review of where everyone is at in the next month or so. If anyone
requires clarification on aspects of their tasks, feel free to email me to work
out the details.
I've decided to extend the competitions I was running till the end of August due
to a lack of submissions. This low number of submissions was in part due to a
lack of promotion of the competitions by myself. Links to the competitions will
be at the end of the report.
Work has been completed on the training system to facilitate the recruitment of
members for Freeworlds. Hopefully there aren't any bugs in the code changes...
The adoption of Freeworlds presents a very good opportunity for the EH and
should be used to its maximum potential.
The Science Officer, FA Ender, has been awarded the Imperial Cross for his
consistent work across a number of projects, including the EH Battle Launcher,
various patches and other things. Congratulations to him.

FA Cyric reporting in for the Flight Office on 7/24/2004
<salute>
There has been much speculation and debate over the implementation over Free
Worlds in the TC. Though the decision has been made to house the FW platform on
an ASF ISD, this does not mean that it is closed to every other member of the
fleet. Much like all the other platforms, every member, regardless of where they
reside in the TC can participate in FW functions and get credit for them. Much
thought has gone into the set up of FreeWorlds in its infancy stage for the EH.
With the help of HA Priyum, Marcus Cain, AD Sarin, AD Turtle to name a few, FW
will have its home in the TC this week. The ISD Predator will be opened for the
FW platform. The reason for choosing this ship is A) the ASF is a MP BG, though
I realize that every BG MP's, on paper the EH recognizes the ASF as the MP unit.
B) it will make it easier to track progress if there is an ISD where all FW
players are rather then have them spread across the fleet in Squadrons. (This
can change after the trial period which will be approx 6 months) C) The Burnout
server requires a specific set up as mentioned by Marcus Cain and Priyum. Once
the 6 months trial period is over I will discuss the progress with the BGCOM's
to determine if squadrons for each BG should be made FW squadrons. Also by that
time JTL will be available.
Along with this the use of clones will be allowed for the ISD Predator for
members who wish to remain in their current positions. When the clones are
created in the notes field it will be required that the profile is for FW, and
your existing pin and name be included so I can make the appropriate notes in
the DB. This will only be allowed for FW and eventually JTL.
ECHO CO on the Deadalus will be the official FW Training CO. All of this will go
into effect once the training requirements are finished and the FW IWATS course
is completed. Currently IWATS Core and the FW IWATS Courses will be a
requirement for the CO.
Another issue is the conduct over Mirc and the MB's. I would like everyone to
take into account that we have a wide range of Ethnic, Gender and age groups in
this club. Be mindful! I've established a very good working relationship with
the SO and have already worked out a few speedbumps over the past few weeks. If
any problems are witnessed, please notify your superiors, the COMM and myself so
we can determine if the SO will get involved.
Processing has remained the goal of my administration. I have still maintained a
fast turn around for all requests coming into my office, and AD Reaper has done
an excellent job with the recruits!
FO TASKS:
War Office: The new WO site has been completed. AD Pel is waiting to work out
some server problems and once this is complete, it will be on line.
FleetWide COMP: Once the WO Site is up and the rules in place the comp will
commence. The BGCOMS have sent in their concerns and questions to the WO and
they have hashed out many of them
New Platforms: FW's is coming by the end of the week! Still waiting on JTL
Wing/Ship Identities: this has taken a back burner to the new platform and the
WO reforms. I will get working on this very soon.
As you can see three out of four tasks are very near completion!
That's all from the Flight Office.

I have not included all of the CS in this report because I am at work and
don't have all the addresses saved to this account, but have added it to the TC
DB.
Big week for the Tie Corps:
ISD Predator has been opened! RA Solaris Machinus is the Com, MAJ Caine is the
WC. The CMDRs will be named shortly, and there will be a site for the ship with
mission statements and requirements posted soon. FreeWorlds is one step closer
to being a reality for the TC. SA Astatine has been sent the DB changes needed
and we await him to complete this before members can be placed in earnest.
AD Mell Kerrigan has resigned as the TCBGCOM and then Un-resigned after
discussing his surgery with his Docs. Sorry about the confusion, but I am happy
to say that AD Mell will still be doing service with the TCBG.
There is a new War Office Site at
http://waroffice.minos.net . Please check it out, it has all the info you'll
need for War Gaming. This being said, IMPSTORM will be coming shortly. A few
minor things need to be hashed out, but expect the game to begin with in the
next two weeks.
TASKS:
New Platform: FW pretty much finished as stated above, waiting on DB changes to
be approved
JTL: I've asked AD Proton and VA Ky Terrak to be the point men on the JTL
expansion and its inclusion into the TC.
WAR Office Revision: Completed. AD Pel has created a new site with
comprehensive rules and maps, and the War Game should be proceeding shortly.
Image of the TC: Haven't done much with this, though with the inclusion of FW
and the eventual JTL, our image should prosper within the EH and across the
internet. Will work on this...

<salute>
Fleet Admiral Cyric reporting in for the Flight Office and the Tie Corps on
8/6/04 that's 6 August 04 for you European type people :)
The TieBG's have seen a few positional changes this week. VA BubbaX has resigned
as COM of the Rel, and taken a FM position in Viper Squadron in the ASF. No
applications are being taken for his vacated spot as AD Mell already has someone
in mind.
Maj Curtis has taken over as the new WC for the ISD Colossus, as MAJ Angel has
stepped down.
This is also the time for many of the TC pilots who take their summer vacations
before their school years start.
Free Worlds and the ISD Predator: Commanders are being sought to fill the six
squadrons. The Commanders will be the only Full time positions in the squadron.
Details can be found here:
http://www.ehnet.org/mb/viewtopic.php?t=3273
I have assembled a crack investigative team to start the Tie Corps in the
direction of Jump To Light Speed, Star Wars Galaxies. AD Proton and VA Ky Terrak
are the point men in this endeavor with 2 representatives from each TC BG,
Compton, AD Sarin and my self tirelessly going over details for implementation
into the fleet. We've come up with a good framework and goals before the
Expansion is officially released. My Goal, as is the teams goal, is to have
everything in place before this hits the open market so we are one of , if not
the first club to offer it as a playing platform. I Will announce details when
issues have been resolved.
IMP STORM looks like it will be starting in the first week of September. With a
BGCOM on leave, and some questions needing to be answered by the War Officer. I
will announce the start date when these questions have been answered by the War
Officer.
TASKS:

On to the Predator--Before choosing a squadron contact RA Solar Machinus and Maj
Caine of the Predator so they can place you where you should be.
Also, all EH people playing Freeworlds on Burnout contact RA Machinus about
getting into a squadron tag (compulsory)
Many thanks to SA Astatine for getting Echo CO up and running! Freeworlds now
has a Deadalus training CO!
Wing VII on the SOV has their squadron names changed as well!

Flight Office Report #46: 08.20.04
Fleet Admiral Cyric reporting in for the Flight Office on 8/20/04
I've been processing a great many new recruits as of late. Things have picked up
for the TC averaging approx 4-5/day. I can say that a good amount of these are
for Freeworlds.
I'd like to remind everyone that every member can participate in FW events and
get credit for them. How should CMDRs in non freeworlds squadrons submit
activity etc. Everything is listed on the the Predator's Mission statement
written by HA Priyum. Please check this out if you have ANY questions about Free
Worlds.
A reminder about reports: Squadron CMDRS are weekly, WC's are Weekly, COM's are
every two weeks, and BGCOM's should be weekly. My Staff is currently actively
keeping track of all reports, when they are in and when and if they are loaded
into the database. Notices will be sent to the parties that are delinquent in
reporting!
Recently I've had a few requests for some members to be promoted to the rank of
General while they are in FM or FL spots in squadrons. This is not allowed, nor
will I ever allow this. However...
The rank of General is probably the most prestigious of all the ranks in the
TieCorps. Very difficult to earn and highly respected, it is often reserved for
Elite members who exhibit activity and loyalty above and beyond as well as Wing
Commanders.
My exception to the "normal" squadron rule is that if a pilot comes from the
reserves or transfers into a squadron and they held the General rank, they shall
be allowed to retain it. These pilots have earned it, thus earning the right to
keep the rank.
If a high ranking member RA and greater retires and comes back to the TC in a
squadron FM position they shall revert to the traditional COL rank if they've
never held the General rank before gaining their Admiral bars.
Flight Office Tasks:
Platform for TC: Complete also started working on JTL
War Office Reform: Complete
Fleet wide war game: Slated to start first week of September
Fleet Image (Individual image for BG's, ships, etc) Currently working on this.

First I would like to thank Grand Admiral Ronin and Sector Admiral Astatine for
appointing me as Internet Officer. Secondly some words about my plans as
Internet Officer:
My first priority is finishing Multiplayer Sabacc. The client is mostly finished
and operational. The server code needs to be finished mostly before the first
beta. Work is progressing well, though I can't say an ETA on it right now.
I plan to restart Project Hawkeye and present a new competition for the whole
fleet with it.
The Image Archive will come back in the near future as well.
There are some project ideas but I will share those when the time comes :)
I'm still settling in my new office, but the door is always open to the
membership. If you have any questions then feel free to cantact me either on IRC
or in email.

TO Report #5: 07.25.04
News
- I'm finally back. I have an ADSL at home now so I'll appear on the IRC more
often.
- I've processed all competitions from last week. I'm sorry that it took so
long.
- Since my last report about 10 cadets completed the ground training. I've
noticed that there's a pretty big group of cadets failing the Core test. I'll
start a research on that phenomenon to learn how to prevent it.
- The Top Gun Academy is ready to start. First training season should begin with
the next XvT WoW. More details are included in the projects section of this
report.
- We have a new IWATS course created by CPT Tek Selkirk- Advanced Multiplayer
Tactics. CPT Tek will be awarded the GS for his work on that course. MP and AMP
courses will be closely connected with the Top Gun Academy - they will work as
the theoretical backend.
- I have chosen a new assistant. Here it goes: the new TOA is... CPT Werdna
Elbee! Congrats!
- Do not submit competitions about creating the competition. Such comps will be
denied.
Projects
-Top Gun Academy
As mentioned in the news section - the Academy is ready to go. All instructors
spots are filled now. And here is the list of instructors:
* GN Kaerner
* CM Rax
* CPT Tek Selkirk
* CM Predator
I think that everyone agree that these pilots are currently the best pilots in
the fleet. They will automatically recieve the Top Gun Trophy for their
excellent MP skills and their work for the EH. I'll discuss the matter of
displaying the trophy in the ID line with the OPS. Till the opening the training
season whole Top Gun staff (including the COO) will work on choosing first
students for the Academy.
- Imperial University
I'll start coding the new TO website to make it fit the IU needs (the layout and
the main frame is already done). It'll also help me in managing the list of
PROFs and courses, what is very hectic right now. I want it to be connected with
the EH database so I'll work with the COMM closely.
TO Report #6: 08.01.04
News
- Almost all PROF spots are taken. Only the ASP one is still free. If you know
ASP feel free to apply.
- Since now I'm not accepting any more courses proposals. Right now IWATS has 38
active courses. I assume there will be only one more course created: Jedi
Academy. I realized myself that IWATS takes more of my time than my other, more
important, duties and now I want to focus on them.
- I'm going to revise the TC entry requirements. There are many voices, also
from new members, that our requirements are outdated and don't fit the current
situation of our club. Main objections are directed at flight requirements and
I'll work with the FO and TAC to make them better.
- I've started coding the Imperial University website. It will be fully
integrated with the ELS. It will be the new TO website and the training center
for the whole EH, not only TC. Right now I'm coding basic functions (no more
manual updating, yay!) . IU features will be added later.
- ISD Predator has been opened for the FW players. Echo company should be opened
soon. Requirements for Echo will be discussed with the FO.
Tasks
Graduate counts for Newsletters: will be included in the next report
Coordinate with the Tactical Office in creating courses for new/unsupported
platforms: FW course released, JA course is in planning stage
More plot driven “old school” TIE Corps-wide competitions: you
will see some soon
Complete a release candidate for the Top Gun academy, coordinate with Combat
Operations Office: website is done, all instructors spots are taken, TG will be
started with the next WoW
More promotion of IWATS and Training Office things: not needed i think ;)
Collaboration with Command Officers for a TC-wide comp: the EH wide competition
which is being planned will involve SCO, TAC, XO and the TO (me:P)
TO Report #7: 08.07.04
News
- I've listened to comments of some officers I've decided to make the History
course rewritten. Current course puts too much pressure at the NR's side of the
conflict what leads to deceitful image of the Civil War.
- The first class of the Top Gun Academy will start on 20th of August. It won't
be a regular class cos it will consist of only 2 students. The reason of this
situation is that one of the instructors is MIA and the pilot chosen to take his
place won't be able to handle that responsibility this month. I know that many
pilots are waiting for this Academy to start and that's why I decided to not to
move the starting date.
- Echo company onboard PLT Daedalus has been opened! Daedalus now will be able
to recruit and train FW players.
- All PROF spots are filled so I'm not accepting any more apps. I will update
the NeXus soon. New PROFs:
COL Frodo appointed as XTT PROF
MAJ Devin Taralis appointed as ASP PROF
AD Alex Foley appointed as XML PROF
GN Master appointed as XAM PROF
- FW course is currently offline. HA Priyum is working on updating the info
contained in the notes.
- I've started preparing a TC wide comp. Stay tuned.

Operations Office Report #42: 08.01.04
News:
The last of the database problems come trickling in. Hopefully this will be
resolved soon.
OK, Free Worlds is fun. But it's kind of come and gone for me. I'm getting antsy
not doing anything.
50,000 medals! An accomplishment that the Tie Corps and the EH as a whole has
now achieved! Congratulations!
The South Park uniforms have caught on. I've been approving them, so keep
submitting them!
Notable Awards:
COL Frodo March received a Silver Star for achieving 75 beta points working in
the TAC office.
HA Priyum Patel thinks he's important because he got a Silver Star for creating
the Free Worlds IWATS Course.
CM Bryan of Onslaught squadron was a freakin' superstar and earned a Bronze Star
for doing just about everything in one month.
CPT Tek Selkirk got a Gold Star for winning a WoW almost single-handedly. Good
lord.
VA Gilad Pelleaeon got a Gold Star for being Commodore of the Year or something.
Must've been something for me to approve it.
Task Progressions:
Medals public relations/promotion of good works
See above.
Coordinate with Subgroup Commanders the upgrading of subgroup uniform systems
No change from last week. I'm working with the Corporate Division on developing
their database, so hopefully I'll get some change in there maybe.
In line with the above point, look at porting TTT to other subgroups
Tempest is more than willing to make a program for any subgroup that comes
forward. Just mail him!
Investigate the coding of an online version of TTT
This goal has been phased out, and will not be completed.
More regular processing of medals and online presence
Medal processing now takes less than 12 hours.
Beware when the great God lets loose a thinker on this planet.

Commendations of Loyalty: 08.21.04
<>Today, August 21st, is the FC's Birthday, so that means,

Hammer by the Fleet Commander or Executive Officer who have displayed tremendous
dedication to the Fleet.
*For the TIE Corps:*
Each squadron commander can send any number of recommendations for awards to
their respective Wing Commander. The Wing Commander chooses three (3) awards.
Then these recommendations are forwarded up the chain of command to the
respective Commodores and Battlegroup Commanders, making any possible
corrections. Then the Battlegroup Commander collects the recommendations for his
Battlegroup, and emails them to the Operations Officer, CC'ing the Flight
Officer. Also, each Battlegroup Commander has the discretion to award a maximum
of three (3) awards to his Flag Officers.
For elite squadrons (Avenger, Praetorian, Tau, and Omega), the commander can
recommend up to one (1) award to their Battlegroup Commander (Omega - SovCOM;
Avenger - ASF BGCOM), in the case of Praetorian and Tau Squadron, the CMDR will
directly email the Operations Officer, also CC'ing the Flight Officer.
*For the Dark Brotherhood:*
Each Clan Consul will have the ability to recommend up to three (3) members from
their clan to the Chancellor of the Brotherhood and the Grand Master. The Grand
Master will also have a special discretionary
award up to a maximum of five (5) awards. These final recommendations will be
sent by the Grand Master to the Operations Officer.
*Other Subgroups:*
Each Subgroup (other than the Brotherhood) will have the opportunity to
recommend a maximum of ten (10) awards. These will be sent directly to the
Operations Officer.
*Command Staff/Advisors:*
Each CO will be allowed a small indeterminate level of awarding, to be dealt
with on a case-by-case basis. These recommendations also go to the Operations
Officer.
*ALL recommendations must have the subject heading: "CoL Recommendations" or
they will be ignored.*
Recommendations are due September 4th, 2004, at Midnight Eastern Standard Time.

Security Officer & Deputy Grand Master
Security Office Report: 08.07.04
As this is the first of my official communiqués I will use it to
outline various points of policy that I intend to follow, in addition to the
usual ‘report items’.
I. High Court Cases
Since my investiture as Security Officer I am glad to say that only a small
selection of individuals have had the privilege of appearing before the High
Court of Inquisitors. The good news is that these four individuals were those
pending from before I came to the Office, concerning the Airamags case; profuse
exploitation of clones and false competitions.
However in the spirit of fairness, Case 199 the Empire versus Tiamat, I
recommended a lesser punishment than the standard policy because of the
importance and integrity of Tiamat’s admission of guilt. I consider honesty to
be a vital attribute and it is no less the case in the Emperor’s Hammer.
Furthermore no-one will be sent to the High Court without an exhaustive
investigation into the accuracy of the evidence and the comparative merits of
such action.
II. Superior/Inferior Relations
The higher the rank, the higher the position, the greater the responsibility to
one’s subordinates. When an Officer reaches a certain level their status within
the Emperor’s Hammer is no longer to self-service but to service for the benefit
of others. This means that every TIE Corps Flag Officer and every SubGroup
mid-level Commander has the same responsibility to be civil and helpful to their
younger members; including Cadets and those in training.
III. The Intelligence Division
The Intelligence Division is not – and never will be – modeled on a ‘Gestapo’
framework. Its purpose is to assist the Security Office, the High Court and the
executive offices is the protection of the interests of the Emperor’s Hammer;
primarily the well-being of the membership and to a lesser degree the protection
of EH intellectual copyrights.
Infiltration is an archaic practice that has no positive value. While the
observation of EH members can sometimes be necessary, the Security Office will
not sanction the use of the Division to entice respected members into illegal
acts.
IV. Revision of the Articles of War and Bylaws
I have observed the current system of enforcement and punishment concerning the
Articles and the High Court of Inquisitors and will shortly be making
recommendations to the High Inquisitor, Executive Officer and Fleet Commander
for revisions.
Before I submit my recommendations all EH members are encouraged to write to me
explaining any changes they would like to see to our rules and regulations. As
always, keldorn@btopenworld.com.
V. Security Office website
A ‘new’ Security Office website is available at
http://ehpd.org . It brings together newsfeeds concerning viruses and
includes basic information on computer security.
VI. The Debate Forum
The trial run of the ‘Debate Forum’ (
http://www.ehnet.org/mb/viewforum.php?f=121 ) ended several weeks ago and I
am pleased to report that it was a success. Therefore over the following weeks I
will be devising further topics for debate that will cover both EH and real-life
matters of interest.
Members are welcome to e-mail me requests for topics.
VII. Security Office Staff
At the moment I am not looking for a Command Attaché nor any Command Assistants.
When I am, full application requires will be specified on public channels.
VIII. Complaints and Contact
The SO website includes an automated contact form that enables members to send
me messages. Therefore I would like to highlight once again that I am eager to
hear of your complaints, and am ready to dish out righteous fury to all
evil-doers.

RO Report #50: 08.01.04
<SALUTE>
Greetings everyone, and welcome to another RO report! I'm your host, RA Manijak,
and in this report I will try to point out some of the more interesting things
which have happened recently in the world of Star Wars
and Star Wars gaming.
The biggest single news that happened recently in the world of Star Wars must
certainly be the fact that the title for the Episode III has finally been made
public. REVENGE OF THE SITH; that is the name of the of the third prequel we
will all be crowding to watch when it is released in May next year! Now,while I
wasn't very impressed by the prequels so far, I have to admit that this title
sure shows promise. Does it mean that we will finally get a prequel that is as
good as the original trilogy? We won't know until we have seen it, but this
title sure gives me a reason to hope so. Anyway, if you want to find out more
about this, you can read the full article using the following link:
http://www.starwars.com/episode-iii/bts/production/news20040724.html
One other thing connected to EP III's title is something that might interest
those who collect SW merchandise. To celebrate the title's unveiling, Lucasfilm
has started selling a T-shirt with the "Revenge of the Sith" logo. What makes
the T-shirt special is the fact that the logo is "retro" in its design;
Lucasfilm says that it is "style reminiscent of the 1982 Fan Club Revenge of the
Jedi logo and shirts available for a limited time before the final Return of the
Jedi title was revealed". Those interested in this very neat-looking piece of
merchandise can find it at:
http://shop.starwars.com/Product/ProductDetails.aspx?ProductID=389&ReferrerID=SWCMTP-00001
On the Star Wars gaming front, we have several news regarding SWG. The first one
is that it is now possible for SWG players to register for Beta testing Jump to
Lightspeed; the eagerly-awaited expansion that will finally introduce starships
into SWG. Those intrested in registering can do so using the following link (
http://swgbetareg.station.sony.com/ ).
While we're talking about about Jump to Lightspeed, it might be interesting to
take note of the following link:
http://starwarsgalaxies.station.sony.com/expansions_ships.jsp
Using this link, you can view most of the new ships that will appear in JTL.
The selection of ships which have been shown so far is already very good,
however, what's more interesting are the ships that are not there. You see, EH's
General Compton has recently had a chance to play a demo of JTL at the San Diego
Comic Con. While playing it, he stole a peek at the skill trees.
Here's what he found: "In the Privateer skill tree, a piloting certification for
the YT-2400 is listed under the Ace (Master) box. In the Rebel pilot tree, they
get a cert for the B-Wing. And for us Imperials, we have a cert for the ship of
all ships, the TIE DEFENDER." (emphasis on TIE Defender mine.)
This would seem to imply that our EHers in SWG will be able to fly Defenders in
JTL! However, nothing's certain yet, because, when asked by GN Compton to
comment on those skill trees, Kevin "Q-3PO" O'Hara and Executive Producer Haden
"Shug Ninx" Blackman said only "We haven't finalized the ship certifications
yet.". Whether they said so because they're not certain that all those ships
will make it into the game, or because they want to keep people in suspense is
anybody's guess. However, we can always hope!
One other interesting development is that LEC, Sony and Gamespot are offering a
14-day free trial of SWG. Apparently, you can register a trial account key
without needing a credit card, after which you can play the game for 14 days.
However, there's a catch. In order to keep the trial completely "free", LEC and
Sony are offering the trial keys in combination with DOWNLOADABLE FULL versions
of the SWG game. That's a 1.9 GB download, so only those with the fastest
connections (or the possibility of downloading from work :P) need apply. The
trial offer end on August 31st, and more details can be found using the
following link:
http://www.gamespot.com/promos/swgalaxies/
Last but not the least, a trailer for Knights of the Old Republic II has been
released. You can find it, and a host of other info about the game at the
following link:

NON-EH SITE OF THE WEEK
Star Wars Internet File Archive
(
http://www.geocities.com/jjehrnwa/files.html )
This is a neat archive of various (mostly text) SW related files. A lot of those
files date from the earliest days of online SW fandom, some of them from before
the days of the Web. They cover a great variety of subjects; essays, scripts,
fanzines, old WEG SWRPG material, fan fiction etc... Take a look at it, and see
how things were done in the old days!
That's it for this RO Report. I hope you found it interesting and useful.

GM Report #6: 07.23.04
Greetings Jedi
This is Grand Master report #6 dating 23.07.2004.
News:
Biggest news this week and probably widely noticed throughout the DB due to the
clearly visible change on the Roll is that my decision to close down Clan Satal
Keto was finally realized. I already announced it on the news board along with
an explanation why I did it. Here is it once again for all of you who don't read
DB news posts:
"Today I have the sad duty to announce to you that another Clan had to be closed
down. This time this fate happened to Clan Satal Keto, which in the end only had
a Sith House left. After long pondering about what to do with CSK I decided that
he DB in its current state can't afford to put any more effort and people into
CSK in order to try to rescue it, but we should instead try to consolidate the
other four remaining Clans with the people left from CSK. In the end I think
this can help to create four equally strong and vital Clans rather than five of
which some are ailing and suffering. This also would make the upcoming Rite of
Supremacy more fair and interesting .
The CSK members who requested to transfer out to a specific Clan will be placed
accordingly. Everyone else who didn't specify a location will be placed either
in Arcona or Alvaak at the digression of the MAA.
Should anyone be placed in a Clan he doesn't want to be in for some reason,
please contact the MAA and request another transfer.
It wasn't an easy decision for me and some people might hold it against me, but
I believe this step was necessary to consolidate the structure of the DB and to
form a solid base from which the DB can grow again into a bigger entity once
more."
So far if I got comments on it I mostly got positive ones. I recieved only one
mail that condemned me for closing CSK, but I expected such reactions from some
people. However the overall feedback confirms me that I made the right decision.
In other news the MAA finally got his access. He told me the backlog is already
wiped clean, so if you are still missing the processing of roster requests of
any kind , resend them since then they somehow got lost somewhere then.
Competitions:
last week my Total Carnage didn´t happen due to the fact that only one guy
showed up. So the Crescent with Diamond Star stays unawarded this week. Let's
see if next week people are interested again in getting one. I am interested if
any Siths finally show up at the Carnage to show off their skills they like to
mention all the time.
Projects:
Nothing new on that topic concerning the IP and the SA project. I have just
recently resent those two projects to GA Ronin on his request, so I am confident
that I will get any reply from him soon.
Meanwhile I decided to go ahead with another small project I already announced
in my last report - A DC Task and report content list, since the DC is now
complete again. I put it in here so everyone can read it just like the EHCS Task
list done by the XO. I think what works for the EHCS does work for the DBDC as
well. I will exclude myself since I am counting towards EHCS and have already
that separate Task list I showed you already in one of my earlier reports.

a matter.
That concludes my report for this week. Thank you for your attention.

GM Report #7: 07.30.04
Greetings Jedi
This is Grand Master report #7 dating July 30th 2004.
News:
After being approved by Ronin and Ast, the public stage for the "Echelons of
Force" DB IP system has begun. In this stage, you the membership are asked to
create the various item lists, from which you later can buy the stuff you want
with your IPs you earned yourself through activity. I have started up various
threads for creation of those lists on the main DB MB and the different Order
boards. Go and check out the main IP thread with general info and discussion
about the system at
http://www.ehnet.org/mb/viewtopic.php?t=3153 There you will find also
the URLs of all the other threads connected to this project.
Also the SA Reform has been approved and implementation has started. See more
about that in the upcoming HM Report this weekend.
In other news the HRLD has started to issue GoAs. So far only to the DC and its
staff, to limit the request flood that would happen if he would already accept
requests from members throughout the DB. Next step will probably Clan Summits
and later House Summit before the general membership can request them. It's like
boarding a plane just sit tight and wait until your row is announced. Watch
future HRLD report for that.
Furthermore I can announce this week that I have decided to elevate MAA
Rebelkiller to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight. He did excellent fast work with
dealing with the backlog when he got access and since then he always processes
the requests well within the 24 hours margin I laid out in the DC task list last
week. Well deserved keep up the great work DT !
Last but not least and fresh from the discussion with my DGM I announce that we
, the MAA, the DGM and the GM unanimously have decided to elevate the Consul of
Clan Scholae Palatinae Sith Warlord Gidda to the highest rank a Consul can
achieve : The rank of Dark Side Adept. Welcome to the leader ranks of the Dark
Brotherhood and enjoy your double bladed lightsaber. Congratulations well
deserved ! We got a huge elevation recommendation from various CSP members lead
by its ProCon Kane Reese but I will leave it to the MAA to display parts of it.
Competitions:
Due to RL matters and issues I don't want to bore you with in detail, it wasn't
possible for me to host the latest edition of GMTC. Since my next week will be
even more busy than the last one and then after that some major changes in my
time schedule will happen, I hereby announce that I will suspend my competition
until further notice. I hope that I will be able to host it again in two weeks
or so. The only other way I see to make my comp happen is that another core DC
member will host it. So if anyone from the DGM to the SCL wants to host my comp
until I can take over again feel free to contact me.
Projects:
Since the XO considered some of us CS people having selective memory concerning
the display of our task list (which probably included me) I will start
displaying it again in full size even if my report grows in size quite a bit
then. So here we go again:
Grand Master
- Implementation of the Action plan
- Vendetta in the next 3 months

A) Vendetta:
Works on the Vendetta have started. I am still waiting for a website from

GM Report #8: 08.06.04
Greetings Jedi
This Grand Master Report #8 dating 06.08.2004
News:
The first news this week are concerning myself. I know it's not allowed actually
to write about RL in the reports and I normally stick to that regulation but
since this time it impacts on my work as GM directly I think I have to make an
exception. From tomorrow on I will do an internship at the University of
California at Santa Barbara lasting for 10 weeks. That means for once that I
will have to go on leave for two days, which is Saturday and Sunday in order to
make the transition from Europe to the US. I should be back online on late
Sunday/Monday again. That also means for the other that my time zone will change
by 9 hours backward. So if you want to do business with me on IRC remember the
time change, since I will be on at different times than usual now. Also my total
IRC time might get a bit reduced since I will now be doing research at the UCSB
for most of the day and will be on probably only in the evenings. Nothing else
will change I still will have my high email turn around rate and will be
available on AIM and ICQ as well.
DJM Keldorn Cochrane will be in charge of the DB during the next two days, be
nice to him
In other news the IP threads have dried up in the recent days. The initial ideas
were really good but we still need many more. I have been informed that
seemingly members can´t place items correctly with price tags and all since the
lack any correlation frame. Therefore I will give you a short one here. The
highest rank in the EoF system you get for 2500 points. So that is a small
fortune for an individual. That means all except a few very rare and top of the
line items which can be also above, should be below that number. Medium items
could start at 500 and the lowest items you already should be able to buy for
5-10 points. For the house lists just multiply the numbers by 15 - the
membership count of a medium sized House. Last but not least for the Clan list
multiply the number by 40 to get an average Clan size. I hope that helps a bit
as first aid. When I find the time during my flights I will put together lists
on my own with my own ideas I so far withheld in order to prevent to influence
the membership in their ideas. There you also will see the imagined prices for
the equipment. I will release the lists at the beginning of the next week once I
had the time to put them from my mind into a doc file.
It also came to my attention that there is confusion about Clones and how to
handle them. If you have a Clone or two, then it is not only your duty to report
them to me the Grand Master but to all of your superiors from the BTL all the
way to the CON. Also the other way round - if for example a Clan Summit appoints
a new House Summit then he has the duty to provide him a list with all Clones in
his House from other Clan members. That means also the superiors have to ensure
their subaltern officers have knowledge about all Clones thay have under their
command. All Clones need to be declared and their existence proliferated to
everyone who has to do with them. Undeclared , secret and undiscovered Clones
are against regulations and the owner can be brought before the HCI under
charges of Cheating/False Statement. I hope that clears matters up on this and
now everyone knows how to behave when it comes to Clones. Please Clan Summits
make sure that this information is passed on all the way through your Clans.
Thank you.
Competitions:
The work on the RoS so far has stagnated quite, I have to admit, but now, since
I won't be as busy anymore as I was in the past 4 weeks, I now will make it one
of my top priorities. I am determined to bring you the RoS on time in September
and if I have to carry it out all alone. DC prepare to get info and assignments
on that at the beginning of the next week as well.
My personal MP Comp the GMTC is still suspended. I will have to talk to Sirik
about a possible temporary new time and day for it due to my change in time
zones. Stay tuned for more info about that.

changes were made:

meanwhile showed me a very promising Story Intro for the RoS he made from my
gibberish I told him :P I hope he will be able soon to finish it so we can show
it on the website to the DC.

GM Report: 08.14.04
Greetings Jedi
This is Grand Master Report #9 dating 13.08.2004
News:
As promised in my last report I started to work on the RoS in a more focused
way. In the past days I have written up a 6 page draft which contains the basic
idea, the structure, the events and the way of judging them. I have submitted
this draft to the DC and discussions about it as well as plans about how to
realize the whole event have begun.
The RoS will be created and executed by the DC only, except a
few outside DB contractors to ensure all other people who have still a Clan
affiliation will be able to take part in the RoS including any of the DC Staff.
With that exclusion of the staff I take the consequences out of the last years
TO vendetta, where some staff members, who were involved into the managing the
vendetta, have been accused of Clan bias. Therefore I decided to let only people
work on the preparation of the RoS who don't have any Clan affiliations in any
way.
I also wrote in my last report that I would present basic lists of items for the
IP system that can be used as framework for the members to place their own
creations. I have to admit I wasn't able to do so, since writing up the RoS
draft took longer than expected. But I haven't forgotten about it and will
publish those lists as soon as I will be able to create them, hopefully over the
weekend.
There will be also a new think tank. I actually intended to use the general
membership as that but I saw that for certain matters you need a smaller group
to brainstorm with. I will create a new yahoogroup for that purpose and will
post the "request membership" link on the news page of the DB site. So everyone
who wants to become part of the new think tank can go there and request to be
added and I will accept him.
Some of you might have noticed the "UCSB" Tag on my nick on IRC. That means I am
in the lab at the university and somehow around. You can pmsg me and ask me
stuff or give me info or whatever else and if I happen to be in the vicinity of
my laptop I will answer them. Sometimes however it can take a bit longer if I am
at that moment occupied somewhere else, so be patient.
Competitions:
My GMTC is still on hold I wasn't able yet to set a new date with Sirik. I will
let you know when I was able to.
In other news the DB survived its first participation for a long time in a WoW.
It placed 5th out of 7 or 8 which is for a first time participation quite good.
Soon a JA WoW is starting maybe we will be able to do even better there.
Projects:
As usual the complete task list for my position, updated where progress or
changes were made:
Grand Master
- Implementation of the Action plan
- Vendetta in the next 3 months
- Sort out varies issues as outlined in the action plan
A) Vendetta:
As already reported above a draft has been laid out before the DC and work has
started. I am confident that we will be able to present a high quality and well
prepared Rite of Supremacy to the membership in the middle of September.
B) Action plan:
Since this is a rather big pile of tasks I use the segmentation in the plan
itself:
1) Communications:
Promotion of good work:
"The GM shall make news posts and other promotional references on the
following:"
- Merit awards of Grand Cross or higher - delegated to the CHAN report in the DC

That means these tasks have been addressed, are currently executed and
constantly minded by me and the other DC members every week.
2) Reports:

- Dark Council mailing list
- Consuls and Proconsuls
- Main site reports system

GM Report #10: 08.20.04
Greetings Jedi
This is Grand Master report #10 dating 20.08.2004.
News:
Yesterday the Master at Arms, the Deputy Grandmaster and I unanimously decided
to reward the Consuls of Clan Alvaak and Clan Tarentum for their excellent work
in their positions with which they both served their Clans far above and beyond
the Call of Duty:
For being 15+ months Consul of Clan Alvaak leading their Clan through everything
that came during that time, not only trying to preserve the strength of Alvaak
but always trying better the Clan and to lead it back to its former
strength,despite all problems Alvaak had to battle with Krath Pontifex Aseret is
hereby elevated to the rank of Dark Side Adept.
For being 9 months Consul of Clan Tarentum, being all the time an inspiration to
her Clanmembers,motivating them where ever she could, she was able to turn the
Clan from one of the smallest Clans into one of the biggest and most active
Clans in the Brotherhood. For that service to her Clan Krath Epis Rage Akaido is
granted the rank of Krath Pontifex.
In other news, after some considerations I came to the conclusion that between
my current RL commitments and the preparations for the Rite of Supremacy next
month, that I can''t push alone the creation of the Echelons of Force project
further as much as I would like to.
Since it was already more than once suggested to me to revive the think tank
created by Khaen during his reign, I decided to do exactly that. Hereby I anouce
that I have created a new think tank mailing group and everyone who wants to
participate may do so.
The Think Tank''s first task will be as mentioned above in assisting me in the
current item creation process of the EoF project. Once this should be over, it
will get new tasks, so it won´t be disbanded after the EoF project.
So whoever is creative and want to show me his ideas directly and want to help
me in the EoF and other later projects can write to the following adress and
will be accepted by me into the new Think Tank: dbtt-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
So far 5 people have signed up to it amongst them the complete Arconan Clan
Summit. Right now I have three people from Arcona, one from Alvaak and one from
CSP. By Orders those are three Krath and two Sith. So you see what I still need
are Obeliskians and Tarentides to have a full set of Clan and Orders in my think
tank. Would be nice if I would get those kind of people still. Remember anyone
can request subscribtion at any time and no one will be turned down. So write to
the above mail and become part of my new think tank.
I also have to anounce that I won´t be able to make it to the meetings tommorow
due to weekend uni work. I apologize for that and hope that I will be able to do
so next weekend again.
Competitions:
No news on the GMTC, my schedule just keeps to be too erratic to figure out a
safe time I will be able to host it again so far.
But there has been progress on the RoS. A name for it was proposed by me and so
far no one of the DC spoke out against it, so I maybe can release it next week
in my report. Also the general structure of the RoS has been agreed on, the
plotline,the locations and the length of it, which will be 5 weeks. Works on
several events have begun. Stay tuned for more updates next week.

- GMRG - the existence of this society and use/aims of it will be discussed once
the membership count has risen to an acceptable amount to justify an elite
society of any kind.
Grand Master's Acknowledgements:
This week I want to acknowledge in general the four Consuls. They have been a
reliable constant during this year so far, bringing something like consistency
into the level of Clan leadership, which also made my job so much easier in the
past two months and I really aprechiate that. I hope you four will stay with me
for quite some time still in the future.
This concludes my report for this week
In Respect

IWCOM Report #3: 07.24.04
<Salute>
Not much to say about the past week, but I do believe we are moving in the right
direction. The IWCS has been concentrating on their own duties as to get the IW
at maximum efficiency, we now need the rest of the staff to follow suit. The
CMDRs need to step up their efforts to get their squadrons rolling, and do it
now. The little activity that there is will not be enough to us back into
fighting form anytime soon.
So, all CMDRs need to work closely with their squadrons and get things rolling
by leading by example. I stressed this heavily in my last report but it seems
that nothing has been implemented as of yet. Teamwork is the key to you having a
successful group, now get cracking and help bring the IW back to life.
I do not see any activity from the IW Flag Staff other than email and IRC time,
why not strap into a fighter and take to the stars to show you're still willing
to fly to keep the IW alive? As far as I see it, there are NO "desk" jobs in the
IW. If you are in active duty, then there is no reason for you not to jump in
the simulator with your pilots every now and then. Let's see some more tangible
activity from the Flags.
Same adheres above for the IWCS, I know you all have full plates but isn't it
nice to get out there and release some tension? I hope to see you all in the
simulator soon.
As for me, everyone knows that I have been a royal pain on IRC trying to get
some MP matches with IW officers. So, why not take your chances in trying to
vape the IWCOM? I trust that you will get some form of satisfaction out of being
victorious over me. As a matter of fact, let's start a new COMPETITION!
"Vape the IWCOM"
Pilot with most wins over the IWCOM in the IW Melee will earn a War Cross.
Start Date: August 1
End Date: August 31
Now bone up on your skills for the remainder of this month so you can fly for
that War Cross come August!

IWCOM Report #4: 07.31.04
<Salute>
A productive week for the most part, IW.org is coming along at a good pace with
everyone helping in some area of it's construction. Many thanks to those fo you
that are aiding LC Zsinj in his efforts. As you all know, General Darkov has
resigned as Renegade COM, he has been replaced with General Hanson and the WC
spot will be closed for the time being. Also, RA Astix has chosen to resign from
the IWOC position due to time constraints, and will take a FM spot in Silver.
The AWOL check is 100% complete and the roster has been slimmed down. Last week,
Razor Squadron was closed and it's remaining pilots sent to the remaining 3.
Operations should be better now that we have 3 full squadrons, than 4 half full
ones.
There are lots of things going on in the IW for you to take advantage of and
earn some nice rewards. I like CMDR Uther's "Silver Sheen" comp, so I hope to
see lots of activity in it. And the IWTAC is offering up 3 SVs for learning how
to create missions, not a chance you want to pass up. The IW Melee holds many
opportunities for you as well, medals awarded for every aspect of the Melee. And
there is also the IWTA, scoring well on a course will earn you a medal and a
step toward earning your degree in that field.
On a final note, I'd like to say that the IW has made some good headway in the
past couple weeks. We are looking more organised, and I feel that things are
going to start falling into place. Just keep doing what you're doing, stay
active, participate, and above all.............have FUN!

PREX Report #6: 08.22.04
Things are changing for the better for the Corporate Division.
After some problems, the new code and layout for the page is nearing completion.
Once this is done, then the CD can finally begin the long and slow rebuilding
process.
Former PREX Admiral Nav'ric Trow has accepted the position of Chairman of the
Trading Assembly. I hope his vast experience can help guide the Corporations
during the rebuilding process.
We have a new VPX. Congratulate Blake on his promotion. He is shy on experience
as I was, but I know he will do an amazing job for the CD. He has already added
greatly to the Corporate Division with the new Revenge courses he has created.
We have 2 new Adjutants, and then we lost one of them. Thorin came back as A:VPX
but was promptly fired after being disrespectful of our VPX. Frodo came in as
Bubbas Adjutant. That sounds like a recipe for disaster. I have my spies
watching them closely. :)
Anyway, that's about all the news I have for this report.

BHG Report 6: 08.06.04
Hello again from the friendly confines of the BHG, where the
Boston Globe is reporting we have retracted comments recently made on a
commercial.
However, that is not so.. All is well in BHG land, we are trucking through the
end of summer, gearing up for a big burst of activity one fall hits. The added
push should put us in prime condition for recruits when people are back to
school, and especially those college students that find themselves incredibly
bored. Recently on our message board we have had a great discussion of the
future of the BHG, where we should go, what directions seem to promise the most
growth and it has been really great to see so many hunters take an active part
in deciding and throwing in their opinions on what we should do. Their support
of the subgroup is a source of strength for me and my decisions which are surely
in their best interests.
We are still without a Tactician but this is because Koral and I are waiting to
choose instead of hurrying along. We both want to pick someone who will be able
to be there for awhile, and add some stability to the position. I for one am
excited about some of the new hunters who have applied. It may just be the thing
to show the BHG that EVERYONE has a chance at leadership.
Kabal activities are the thing of the season right now, as we don't want to do
an overkill on the BHG wide stuff. We might see some more MB activities and the
like, but they key right now is kabal growth through their own activities and
the unity that brings. Things are good, we seem to be going in the right
directions, and virtually no problems of late.
Thanks for the opportunity to lead this incredible subgroup.
- Dark Prince Tuss Raydod
P.S. Ast has this as well, but when I originally sent it to both I had a
spelling error in your email address. I figured Ast wouldn't appreciate a second
copy saying the same exact thing :P
BHG Report 13: 08.13.04
Hello from the Governors office of New Jersey, where the BHG is
officially announcing, we are not having an affair with our homeland security
officer.
In real news, we have decided on a Tactician! The new Tactician is ... Velkro
from Omega! There were many qualified applicants. Notice I only say that when
there are. Cause sometimes I wonder if these guys even know a position is open.
But this time, there were some good applications. The decision was hard, and I
was impressed that so many people had expressed interest. Velkro is very new to
the BHG, but in his short time he has shown himself to be a natural leader, a
hard worker, and someone can relate to people. That is something we are looking
for in the BHG's third in command.
Detori and I are beginning work in MB Survivor. I was hoping it would be ready
by this next week, but finals is next week, and the following week I will be in
Texas with the hotmormonwife. We have run successful IRC Survivor events for the
past year or so, with a great turnout. We are hoping the MB version will be a
good extension of this, and boost the positive activity on our message boards.
The SG vs. SG stuff has slowed as of late, due to some extra focus on internal
matters. We haven't shelved it completely though, and hope that the fall will
give us a chance to compete at a high level that will unite our subgroup, as
well as bring us closer to the general EH membership.
That is all for this week, things are good. Thanks again for the chance to lead
this incredible subgroup.

1. MB open question session on the SDIR position
Starting today,the UBIQ will begin a series of open question sessions on our
MB (
http://www.ehnet.org/mb/viewforum.php?f=12 ) on each of our existing
positions and Bureaus. This means you get to ask all you want about what I do
(or pretend to), what the UBIQ is here for, what's BOO work or PR's,etc.
Purpose? To enlighten our role within the EH and in each person's mind and to,
once again, kill that ghost that says Intel is non-existing.
This week's topic is the SDIR....yup,you get to ask all kind of questions about
me. Actually, about what I
do. Guaranteed answers. Open to non-Intel agents.
2. Intorg BUDR on leave
COL Stirlitz has been on leave during the course of this past week, hence why
any intorg applications have not received an answer yet. Stirlitz should return
tomorrow and all applications will then receive a swift reply.
3. IntOrg Recruitment season
It's that time of the year again. IntOrg is recruiting so you get to be part of
that elite of agents that knows all but none knows them.
Requirements:
*high level of activity throughout the EH (high MB and IRC presence is
advantageous)
*have served within EH ranks for at least 12 months and hold a rank of CM or
equivalent
*ideally some command experience
* have no HCI record
To clearly understand what IntOrg does, you can read about in my MB post (
http://www.ehnet.org/mb/viewtopic.php?t=2917 ) or accessing the Fieldcraft
Manual.
4. EH SDIR Task List Report
As usual, any critics are welcome.
*More promotion of projects, events,etc
AoT revamp in progress. PR will be rebuilding the site(hopefully) and our open
question sessions are
beginning.
*Better attitude and more interaction towards members
Working perfectly in this field judging by the latest evenings in #dgn. PR has
been a great help in this considering their public position as ID members.
*Reports that have actual content, not fluff or filler about "real life" and
other non-relevant areas Nothing above as you can see.
*Actual progress on projects
I'm still forbidden to make announcements on PR. :P
*Higher online presence, especially during meetings Improving. I have been there
between 3 to 4 hours per
day. All UBIQ members have been seen there on a nearly daily basis, apart from
Reb that just sits there forever.
5. SDIR on leave
8 days from today, on July 30th,I'm going on leave so you have 1 week to pester
me until then.
