ABG NL 10-1-02
Allegiance Battle Group Mail
Oh look, it's late....again. Just remember, if the NL comes out early it means I've been abducted by aliens and replaced by one of their drones. Fear that day, for it shall mark the end of the world!
I: Fleet News
Membership has been going up and down, but overall we've increased by a grand total of five since last month. Not too bad really, if we up our membership by five every month I'll be quite happy.
As many have no doubt seen, the web page is in a whacky state. I'll go ahead and throw things out into the open. I originally thought about purchasing a template design from Davin's home business. I have since changed my mind due to complications I may face in the near future. Davin decided to let the money part slide and just throw up the new design. I believe I said something to the effect of "I'll never turn down something that is gift-wrapped." Frankly, who would snub their nose at something free? In any event, the old design is back up and any future work will be discussed by myself, the command staff, Davin, and Rahj or a delegated exec officer (portions of our website are rigged through the RS domain and can only be accessed by a very few people). Regardless of the future of the web site as a whole, I am currently working on replacing the Library and Manual sections with my own creations. And it may be simple code far from the magical PHP everyone has grown to love, but it works and can be edited easily.
Finally, the future of the Vanguard. This squad has sat dead and useless for a long time. It's original purpose of providing people to play villainous characters and assist GMs was rarely every used, and is even now replaced by scripts. However, it will still fill the roll of taking on our elite simmers (unlike other fleets, kills don't matter-it's how you perform), only with a new purpose. It will have no theme, such as starfighter pilots or Jedi, but instead be more representative of the original ideals of Star Wars RPG. Twelve people, each with a different background, and roll. Some of the fine points:
* All players create fresh characters.
* Only a few of each type will be allowed, precedence for a type goes to the most veteran members.
* Current Vanguard members have priority, and may chose whether or not they want to be a part.
* Hopefuls should obtain a recommendation from their squad leader, myself, or the new Vanguard CO.
* New Vanguard CO is CMDR Sulti Ares-Braynok!
III: Promotions and Awards
IT'S PAY DAY! All ranks of Colonel and above celebrate. Everyone else, try not to blow it all on the gumball machine.
That's it for September, check back here again October 20th for the next NL.
