SotRS 11-28-00
Greetings, Members of the Rebel Squadrons. ":)
The past few weeks have been packed full of noteworthy events. I apologize for the length of this State of the RS Address in advance, but I'll try to be succint.
From the Internet Office, several announcements. BGN Shikkie Kaaran announces most of his information in separate posts, so you should read the BBS to stay up-to-date. The Roster Database has a new look since the time of the last SotRS. All members who have not visited need to go there ASAP, as this is a major nexus of communications for the club: www.rebelsquadrons.org/roster Further, the Internet Officer released an official statement on Signatures. He suggests using a form of idline to save space. Note that this is not a requirement, and is not endorsed by the High Command, it is simply the suggestion of the IO. You can read the suggestion at http://www.rebelsquadrons.org/roster/mb/message.php3?msgid=1712&sort=thread&id=1 Lastly, the Rebel Squadrons News Center (replacement for the holonet) is nearing completion. You can view this project at http://www.rebelsquadrons.org/rsnews
In Medal Office news, a new system of medals has been devised, with many additional medals being added to those currently available. These new medals will be unveiled on friday, on a new webpage being created by Major Ares Braynock. The new medal graphics are being created by Commander Ben Jynzer.
In the Office of External Affairs, a new Minister has been appointed. Major Ater will now be heading up the office and handling alliances. The Rebel Squadrons has a new ally, the Imperial Dragoon Strike Fleet ( http://www.imperialdragoon.8m.com/ ). Finally, the External Affairs page has been overhauled. You can view it at http://www.rebelsquadrons.org/oea/
In the Outer Rim War, the competition continues on. The RS won this last week, with 34 victories to the 11 of the SV, 4 of the LSF, and 2 of the VE. You can visit our ORW homepage at http://www.rebelsquadrons.org/outerrim/ Competition continues this Saturday in #OuterRim.
In High Command news, RA Sentry resigned from the position of Redemption Fleet CO. He has been replaced by Commander Mike "Kerian" Horvath. The RF
XO is Lieutenant Commander Ambious. I welcome these two into the High Command! And more recently, Brigadier General Raz Zaphon has resigned from the position of Intrepid Battle Group CO. His replacement is former IBG XO Major General Slate Mallar. Congratulations Slate! The new IBG XO will be announced shortly.
High Command made several decisions this past week regarding the bylaws, and I invite you to read about the decisions thoroughly in the HC Weekly NewFlash
( http://www.rebelsquadrons.org/roster/mb/message.php3?msgid=1705&sort=thread&id=1 ). Currently, High Command is involved in a discussion on Non-Player Characters.
In other submitted news, Grey Squadron is live! The Tour is begun with this story: Forever Grey (http://rebelsquadrons.org/rc/grey/tour5/t5.htm). More info can be found at: Organizational and Nonfictional Preface to the "Forever Grey" Tour (http://rebelsquadrons.org/rc/grey/tour5/info.htm) and on the Grey message board
(http://www.rebelsquadrons.org/roster/mb/board.php3?id=13&page=1&sort=post). Upcoming submissions will be posted on the R.S. Event Calendar
(http://www.rebelsquadrons.org/dc/calendar.shtml).
Finally, this week we have several medals that have been awarded. Medals are awarded upon the approval of the Medal Officer. Submit a nomination today! This month, the following medals were awarded:
The Kessel Cup was awarded to CMDR Deltan Saviri, BGN Raz Zaphon.
The Tatooine Suns was awarded to BGN Raz Zaphon, VA Trace.
The Excellency of Duty was awarded to CPT Sienn Sconn, LCL Daemon Jorval.
