ABG/Jedi Praxeum NL 3-24-03
It’s that time again, folks, time for me to write another newsletter. But this time I’ve gotten lazy and merged two into one under the excuse that the entire fleet needs to be notified of Jedi matters. :-P
So let’s check out what’s on the agenda this week.
1- Open Command Positions
2- Open Internet Officer Positions
3- Scarlet Squadron – New Jedi Order Simming
4- Bridge Crew – Capital Ship Simming
5- Updated Jedi Site
6- New Jedi Rules
7- Jedi Training Groups
8- Jedi Campaign
9- Note to ABG Members
10- Medals and Promotions
1- Open Command Positions
Well, we have several command positions open in the ABG. These positions include: Special Forces Wing CO, Scourge Wing SO, Special Forces Wing SO, and Scarlet Squadron XO. If you’re interested in ANY of these positions, e-mail me and the Wing (or Squad) CO (if there is one). Thank you in advance.
2- Open Internet Officer Positions
Wanted: Dudes with HTML skills to update and maintain Bridge Crew, Scarlet Squad, Special Forces Wing, and Renegade Wing sites. Experience with PHP and CSS recommended, but not required. L33t h2xx0r5 welcome. Contact me at randystarkiller@yahoo.com if interested.
3- Scarlet Squadron – New Jedi Order Simming
It’s been 27 years since the destruction of the First Death Star and a new threat has manifested itself in the galaxy, a threat that threatens to wipe out life in the galaxy. The Yuuzhan Vong invaders, humanoids from another galaxy, encroach on New Republic space with their biotechnology. The New Republic no longer fights for just freedom from tyranny, they now fight for the very survival of the galaxy.
That’s right kiddies, we’re starting a New Jedi Order sim group right here in the ABG. If you’re interested in joining, contact Renan, Cay, and myself. You will be required to create a new character (I’m tryin’ to get some New Jedi Order templates up) for the group.
4- Bridge Crew – Capital Ship Simming
They are the unsung heros of the Rebellion and the New Republic, the crews of the capital ships. Now you too have a chance to perform this sacred duty by serving aboard the Dreadnaught Gold Star for the Allegiance Battle Group. Danger, excitement, shore leave ( :-P ), experience all this and more this Spring/Summer in… THE BRIDGE CREW!
If you’re interested in joining Bridge, contact me. We sim Saturday’s at 2 pm EST.
5- Updated Jedi Site
Boredom is a dangerous thing, it leads me to things like updating websites, writing new languages, studying weird stuff, and writing overly dramatic newsletters. With that in mind, I bring you an updated Jedi site at http://www.rebelsquadrons.org/abg/aotf/ . I updated the section on the Force, the Jedi, the power hierarchy, and the Temple Staff. Enjoy.

3- Scarlet Squadron – New Jedi Order Simming
It’s been 27 years since the destruction of the First Death Star and a new threat has manifested itself in the galaxy, a threat that threatens to wipe out life in the galaxy. The Yuuzhan Vong invaders, humanoids from another galaxy, encroach on New Republic space with their biotechnology. The New Republic no longer fights for just freedom from tyranny, they now fight for the very survival of the galaxy.
That’s right kiddies, we’re starting a New Jedi Order sim group right here in the ABG. If you’re interested in joining, contact Renan, Cay, and myself. You will be required to create a new character (I’m tryin’ to get some New Jedi Order templates up) for the group.
4- Bridge Crew – Capital Ship Simming
They are the unsung heros of the Rebellion and the New Republic, the crews of the capital ships. Now you too have a chance to perform this sacred duty by serving aboard the Dreadnaught Gold Star for the Allegiance Battle Group. Danger, excitement, shore leave ( :-P ), experience all this and more this Spring/Summer in… THE BRIDGE CREW!
If you’re interested in joining Bridge, contact me. We sim Saturday’s at 2 pm EST.
5- Updated Jedi Site
Boredom is a dangerous thing, it leads me to things like updating websites, writing new languages, studying weird stuff, and writing overly dramatic newsletters. With that in mind, I bring you an updated Jedi site at http://www.rebelsquadrons.org/abg/aotf/ . I updated the section on the Force, the Jedi, the power hierarchy, and the Temple Staff. Enjoy.
