It is with great regret that I announce that Lyndsay Jarvis has resigned as Area Leader of the Border Planets and as Governor/CO of St. Michael due to RL issues, effective immediately. She has been a creative GM, a solid administrator and a good friend. She will be missed.

Gaelan Coffin replaces Dan Blakelock as RTE Deputy Administrator
As Dan Blakelock has not been on the site for a month, I have no choice but to remove him as Deputy Administrator.
He will be replaced by Gaelan Coffin. Gaelan is a fine RPer, who I have played alongside in a number of sims and I am sure he will do an excellent job.

First Post: Whisper (then called Nightingale)

Woo! First Post!
Copied from Aker's Bluff to make sure nobody misses anything.
A little BG/catchup for all you noobies :)
[start of copied post]
Crucion made his way to his room. He lies down in the bed, hands behind his head, slowing down for the first time since before the incidents of the med bay.
"This is what training prepared me for," he thought to himself, "...but it still feels weird. Shooting, and killing a man. A man I was beginning to know. A man I know others cared for," he sighed deeply, then smirked "But hey... it was a good shot.
He started to close his eyes, when he heard the beep of an incoming wave. Audio, but no picture.
"Hello?" he questioned.
"Crucion, I can't believe I finally found you." came the voice on the other end, a voice Crucion hadn't heard since he joined the military.
"Ru, is that you? It's been two years." Crucion responded.
"Yes brother it's me, but you have to listen I don't have much time. I started a shipping company called Star Enterprises. I need you to get to Highgate as soon as possible. There is a ship there called the Nightingale. On board is a shipment that needs to get to Akers Bluff and delivered to a Saloon called the Last Drop. The ships crew has disappeared but I know you can fly the ship well enough to ensure the shipment is made." Ru explained.
"I'm already at Highgate." Crucion told Ru.
"Good I need you to get that ship and get out of there now. Once you get to Akers Bluff, Sam will have an envelope for you with payment and maybe even more..." Ru stopped as another voice came over a comm system "Captain, they've found us." "Gos se! I've got to go." Ru said then the transmission went silent.
The rim of the verse is.... insane! he thought. A moment of quiet, never a moment of quiet.
...and now, his brother giving him the keys to a ship. This was the icing on the cake.
I have to go, he argued with himself inside his head, But they need me on board, he crunched his brow, But this is family. It's personal.
That was it. He got up from the bed, and packed his possessions back into his duffel bag, with the auto on top for easy access. He checked his pockets, both pistols were there - and back to full power. He swung the bag over his shoulder, and left the room.
Overhearing Charles in the Med Bay, he went down to tell him the news.
"Charles," Crucion called from the hallway outside the bay, "I need to talk to you."
"I got a wave from my brother," he spoke fast, "I haven’t heard from him in two years, and I think he's in danger."
"He has his own company, ships and all, and one is here for me - empty. I've got enough piloting skills to get it where he wants me to get it, and I guess I will see from there."
"...I'm leaving..."
[end of copied post]
He sprinted through the highgate docks, as he rushed to find "The Nightingale." It only took a few minutes; Crucion's tastes were very similar to his brothers.
She is a majestic bird, one of the newest, prettiest, but also weirdest looking ships at the docks. She is in a coat of glossed black paint with detailing in lavender and a very smoky gray.
The paint makes her the black dot on a white canvas, but out in the black of the rim she could squeeze by most of the sensor-less ships without notice.
Crucion types in a code to open the door - his childhood pet-dog's birth date - and entered the ship.
He sat down at the controls, they were very complicated, but the basics were the basics. After obtaining permission to launch, he takes her off the ground, and into the black.
She is as smooth as can be, and quite fast as well. A decent mechanic or two, and she'd be the best ship this side of the core.
The sequence of events played out over, and over again in Crucion's mind. had he done the right thing he questioned himself, at the hypnotic num of the ships engine.
A light on the panel flashed, he was there. Already. Highgate to Aker's Bluff, that fast?
Whatever. No time to think about the ship. He had to finish the job. His brother was on the line.
He got off the ship and stepped onto the oh-so-familiar surface he'd been on less then a month ago.
He jogged into the last drop, practically kicking down the door, and sat down at the bar.
"Sam...I....Nightingale...Shipment..." he spat out, breathing hard.

Argos looking for players
I'm the CO of Argos, one of the expansion sims on SGU.
I'm currently looking for more players. I only have six and present and while I have a healthy rating, I feel that we need more players to sustain this vessel in the long term.
We're currently at the beginning of a new mission, to a human world with a medieval level of technology. It seems a war is about to break out on the planet between two rival powers.
So, if you're interested, please email me via SGU.

New Sims for Ride The Edge
A reorganisation at Ride The Edge has removed A Light In The Darkness. With two COs vanishing from the site and the MOTD never being uploaded, it never really got going, which is a shame.
However, two new sims have been appeared.
1. The Mallard Club- A sim set in 1903, in a London private members' club.
2. The Triple Zero- Part of the new Star Wars section, where the popular Order 66 has now been moved. This is an expansion that sim, based on a starship travelling from Coruscant (galactic coordinates 000).

Dane Bower becomes Colonel in SGU
Appointment #58
You all thought we were done didn't you? Not so! We have one more to go then, sadly, we are done.
This last person is someone that has been around just about as long as I, Anna and several other people in SGU have been around. It's almost like he's an institution! In his time here he's been a Team Leader, a member of Military Command and even has done his service over in the Administration side of the house both in the Technical Department and even the Senate. It seems that everyone knows him.
In addition I've had the pleasure of Role Playing with him before and I've always been impressed by his ability to draw out the nuances of a character. They are always very believable and the names themselves are just simply fantastic.
In case anyone who hasn't realized, the individual I'm speaking of is Dane Bower. This promotion in particular is something special because not only have those of us in the Military Command taken a bit of notice, his commanding officer Megan Schultz has as well. In all truth though, and I'm ashamed to admit it, but this promotion is long over due and for that I'm sorry for the delay, but I am happy to correct the situation.
So, without further adieu....
It is my pleasure, my honor and done with pride that I promote Dane Bower to the rank of Colonel with all the rights, privileges and responsibilities that come with the position.
Congratulations Dane!

Message Posted by Brigadier General Nathan Hall (BC)
Nathen stepped down as the gate closed, 'this is home for now' he thought looking across the field at the large group of medal sheds.
General Hall looked at the two guards who were now removing their hands from the SAW's pointing at him and snapped to attention. 'Sloppy' the General thought or it seemed that way.
"As you were" he said snapping back a salute. Dressed up in field attire he look like a picture strait out of world war II. He hated his daily uniform and much preferred combat gear, aside from the fact that the base was very much exposed and did not want to stand out too clearly from the other officers.
He had expected Alexandria or John to meet him at the gate, but perhaps they were busy which was not a bad thing. They had come a few week earlier to help secure the area for the the construction group while they set up the sheds. Slinging his P90 over his shoulder, he stepped toward the small shinning town and made his way for HQ.

William Smith becomes Colonel in SGU
Yep, more promotions...
Appointment #57
I like this Appointment a day system I have going. It makes each day interesting and leaves you all on pins and needles. Why? Because you're wondering, who is next?
Next on our list is someone who again, has contributed to SGU in more ways than one. Most notably is his work in the Member Support Department. Let's be honest, without him we wouldn't have new members processed and new blood in our system. More than that though, Will has showed a willingness to help out as much as he is able. While sometimes he wishes he can do more, the amount that he does has caught the eye of Military Command.
Frequently when I ask the others in Military Command about who is who in SGU, Will Smith's name is always mentioned. As a GM, from what I understand, he's top-notch, keeping both the team and his Team Leader impressed and entertained. His passion for the game is also shown in his willingness to participate in the discussions we hold in Military Command while also keeping us entertained with his unique comments.
So, without further adieu, it is with pride, honor and respect that I promote William Smith to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel with all the rights, privileges and responsibilities that come with the position.
Congratulations Will, well deserved.

Megan Schulz becomes Colonel in SGU
Appointment #56
It's another day, which means another Appointment to be. I, in my own way, take certain people under my wing. While I'm never overt about it, I find myself thinking that a particular person has a bright future here within our club and I start to watch over them carefully. Helping them when and if they wish it, gently pointing them toward the possibilities if they are willing to take it. This next particular individual is someone who I consider not just a friend, but someone that I have watched for that particular interest.
When I first met Megan she was a bit shy, unsure of herself to a degree, but willing to give everything a shot. Her eagerness to try has impressed many people, myself included. Probably her most significant trait that would be first on my list is her honesty about her own capabilities. While I do believe that she's still young and has a bit to go before she really comes into her full potential, I am eager to watch it happen.
In her time here in SGU she has been my executive officer when I was the Commander of Atlantis Beta Site, then later stepped into my shoes as Commander. Since taking on the position, she has made it her own with techniques to help bolster it's placement in the RPEs as a place to play. Additionally are her contributions to SGU as a whole. First as her role as Technical Support Director and now as her role as our Senate Leader for her second term.
She has taken everything she has learned not just from those of us in Military Command, but what she's seen in the workings of AJJE Games proper to use it to her best advantage. More so, she understands the uncertainty that comes with taking on new positions and new projects. That has allowed her to reach out and give a confident boost to those who need it, and allow her to see that just because someone may not be well known any more, they still have potential. Best yet, she's still willing to listen to advice.
In light of all these traits, these contributions and in the spirit of her continued growth, Military Command has decided to promote Megan to the next highest rank.
So, it is with pride, honor and respect that I promote Megan Schultz to the rank of Colonel with all the rights, privileges and responsibilities that come with the position.
Congratulations Megan, very well deserved.

It's another day, which means another Appointment to be. I, in my own way, take certain people under my wing. While I'm never overt about it, I find myself thinking that a particular person has a bright future here within our club and I start to watch over them carefully. Helping them when and if they wish it, gently pointing them toward the possibilities if they are willing to take it. This next particular individual is someone who I consider not just a friend, but someone that I have watched for that particular interest.
When I first met Megan she was a bit shy, unsure of herself to a degree, but willing to give everything a shot. Her eagerness to try has impressed many people, myself included. Probably her most significant trait that would be first on my list is her honesty about her own capabilities. While I do believe that she's still young and has a bit to go before she really comes into her full potential, I am eager to watch it happen.
In her time here in SGU she has been my executive officer when I was the Commander of Atlantis Beta Site, then later stepped into my shoes as Commander. Since taking on the position, she has made it her own with techniques to help bolster it's placement in the RPEs as a place to play. Additionally are her contributions to SGU as a whole. First as her role as Technical Support Director and now as her role as our Senate Leader for her second term.
She has taken everything she has learned not just from those of us in Military Command, but what she's seen in the workings of AJJE Games proper to use it to her best advantage. More so, she understands the uncertainty that comes with taking on new positions and new projects. That has allowed her to reach out and give a confident boost to those who need it, and allow her to see that just because someone may not be well known any more, they still have potential. Best yet, she's still willing to listen to advice.
In light of all these traits, these contributions and in the spirit of her continued growth, Military Command has decided to promote Megan to the next highest rank.
So, it is with pride, honor and respect that I promote Megan Schultz to the rank of Colonel with all the rights, privileges and responsibilities that come with the position.
Congratulations Megan, very well deserved.

Gemma Holden becomes Colonel in SGU
Appointment #55
Well, since I'm on a roll and the whole gang started doing the rain dance a month or so ago, calling for the raining of promotions I must obey for that is my primary duty!
This next individual has been with us in SGU for almost as long as Anna and I, her presence filling the halls of Atlantis with a quiet urging that sometimes goes unnoticed. While real life took her away from the group of Military Commanders, we take solace in knowing that she is still working with us, commenting and letting us know that while she can't work with us as much as she would like, she is still here.
I've known Gemma for most of the time she's been here and in that time I've developed a respect for that quiet method of hers to direct and help. She encourages in her own unique way and her dedication to her team knows no bounds. This particular promotion has been a long time coming in light of the fact that it has been a considerable time since her last one. Her performance has always been above the call of duty, even when life has been difficult for her, forcing her to go to a library just so she can post.
So it is with pride, honor and pleasure that I promote Gemma Holden to the rank of Colonel with all the rights, privileges and responsibilities that come with the promotion.
Congratulations Gemma!

Chris Wilkinson promoted to SGU Colonel
Appointment #54
They say that revenge is a dish best served cold and honestly I have to agree. In a way this next Appointment is a form of revenge, not just from me but from Ash and Anna as well, who didn't know or realize that if they wished to blame anyone for their recent promotions that it can be evenly divided between myself and Chris Wilkinson. Since they will unlikely be able to put forth their revenge on their own I am compelled to do it for them, with their full approval of course.
When I first met Chris he reminded me a lot of Ash in his enthusiasm and drive. He approaches everything with an enthusiasm that you can't help but be caught up by. He pursues his goals with a determination that requires extreme persuasion to divert him from his course, if only temporarily. Of all the members of Military Command I would have to say that Chris is the person who keep us informed of those that should be singled out.
His dedication to the club is unrivaled as he is more than happy to help out not just those of us in Military Command when life is too busy for us, but also in the Administration area whether it's for the New Member Processing or as the current Election Coordinator.
While he may believe that he doesn't deserve this promotion, fortunately for the rest of us, the people that believe otherwise out number him.
So it is with great pleasure, pride and honor that I promote Chris Wilkinson to the rank of Colonel with all the rights, privileges and responsibilities that come with the rank.
Congratulations Chris, it is well deserved.

Ash Plom promoted to Colonel in SGU
Appointment #53
It's interesting to learn how we all want or even need to give out accolades. We each have our own way of accomplishing the task. Some of us give out awards, pin a medal on a chest. Others of us simply nominate the individuals for positions and then there are those that are like me, I simply wax lyrical.
I'd like to do so again. When I first met Ash Plom he came across as brash, excitable and eager to please. His heart was in the right place and he knew where he thought things should be. He uses his passion not only to do what is right, but to be good to everyone as well as he can to motivate, inspire and encourage.
In the two years since I got to really know him, he's tempered himself a little bit, but only in his approach. Yet despite that I know I can always count on him to show me the other side of the situation, to point out what I have missed. His advice is something I count on not just here in SGU, but also in life in general.
Additionally is his dedication to his team, he's always trying to do what is right for them and keeps them equally motivated. He tries his hardest and is usually rewarded by the right step forward.
So while I am content to merely wax lyrical, I acknowledge that there is more I can give and more that the other members of Military Command wish to bestow. With that said it is my extreme honor, pleasure and done with pride that I promote Ash Plom to the rank of Colonel with all the rights and privileges that come with the rank.
I know he will bear them proudly and continue to be a source of inspiration for all of us in every aspect of his involvement.
Congratulations Ash

Anna-Lyn Signey becomes a Brigadier General
Appointment #52
You know, I've been looking at the previous appointments and I couldn't help but notice a few things of interest. The first how they are written out. If anyone has the chance to read them, they should because it's interesting to see how I go from straight, to the point with very little elaboration to now when I tend to be very cheeky to borrow a phrase from our British counter-parts.
Another thing that I noticed is that while when SGU started we did have several General's...there is only one left. This of course is completely unacceptable...meaning I feel alone, distant from everyone.
So I had a thought, why not change it? Of course it happened after one of my fellow Military Commanders suggested the very same thing. Funny how that works. Fortunately for me, the other member of Military Command also agreed enthusiastically so now the will shall be done.
Anna-Lyn Signey has been, as mentioned before, with us since the beginning. She's seen the good, the bad and the so-so times. I finally managed to get her in Military Command with us after asking her for what felt like a million times. Glowing from that success (and with the knowledge that I'm no longer alone!), it is my pleasure, my honor and something I do with pride, promote Anna-Lyn to Bridgader General.
With this promotion she gets all the rights, the privileges and the honor of automatic promotions for the next three years at the time every year.
In addition to this, I am also appointing Anna to be my official successor as Operations Leader in the event that something might happen to me that would force me away from SGU.
Congratulations Anna it is very well deserved!

A Light In The Darkness Shuts Down
Gentlemen,
On behalf of the Council of Elders, it is my sad duty to announce that A Light in the Darkness is being taken offline.
The Sim has been Under Review for awhile, and is without a CO and apparent XO. As well, it's below the minimum number of players for an RPE.
Sorry about this.

The brief low-down on all the latest RPing action in AJJE. This will be edited as news comes in.
Leaf On The Wind
IPS Dakota: Having concluded their murder investigation upon the Starbase Hercules, the crew of the IPS Dakota now find themselves under suspicion by the Alliance.
Prinz Eugen: The Prinz Eugen just completed a major refit on Athens while the ship's Fire Team defeated the Red Scorpion Triad in a city engagement, and we are now free to pursue and rescue a kidnapped crew member from the clutches of the evil Corsair King.
Raug'Moss:The ship is currently docked planetside. The captain is looking for a old alliance bomber, while back at his ship it has gone haywire.
Claudia: Spinning from one dangerous moment to the next, the crew of The Claudia are meeting with contacts in order to offload some 'unofficial' cargo... the air is too still for them to feel comfortable.
Elemental: A salvage vessel - an older model - crewed with misfits and the rudderless lost, eking a living as best they can between the Core and the raggedy edge.
Other Times, Other Places- Independent Camp: The C.O. has a severe head wound and is being evac'd out to HQ. The men, led by Sgt Campbell, are regrouping and re-equiping for any alliance intrusion. The plot has been centering around getting Briar out on the next evac and the interplay between the troops as to that effect.
Ride The Edge
The Great Hall: Warlocks wander the wilds while witches and wizards wheeze with warnings.
Into Time! And Space!: An eclectic group of wanderers in time and space, the crew of the Zeiton are busily saving the most of a planet's population from Ice Warriors.

Mirror Universe:Mirror Universe is currently investigating a series of unauthorized Assassinations of department heads. The CO suspects an old crew member of his former CO (now his Admiral) is involved.

First Post: Inn of the Wayward Traveller
(2007-07-05 06:43:03)
Liam walked over the rugged, snow capped montain and looked at his new bar. He slowly approached i and when he got to the main, twenty feet high double doors, he spoke in a booming voice "Inn of the Wayward Traveler, I am the Grandmaster Liam Christopher Connolly. I invoke by the powers of the gods of the multiverse for you to open the doors to all" The doors rumbled slightly as they slowly swung open. The six foot eight, three hundred pound innkeeper walked in and looked around. "Light" he stated and all the lights in the inn flickered to life. He saw a mirror and looked at himself. With brown hair and hazel eyes, Liam knew that he he looked like he could be trusted to give advice.
He found a plaque and mounted his grandfather's greatsword on it. He put this plaque on the wall and commanded "rise" so that the plaque was above the bar where no one could get it exept him. He then tested the spells that made sure mages and the sorts could not cast any attack spells.

Kevin Diamond becomes Support Services Director
Dear all,
It is my distinct pleasure to appoint Kevin Diamond to the post of Support Services Director. Kevin joined AJJE Games in January, and has been expanding his character base across multiple sims and clubs, contributing in government discussions, and generally adding to the standard of excellence with his own genuine brilliance. From designing ship deck plans to enhancing MOTDs to refining initiatives in the government pages, he has displayed a range of skills which will certainly add to the fine work outgoing SSD Angela Austin achieved on such initiatives as the Community Pages hub. Angela's input won't be forgotten, and I am confident Kevin will build great things on the foundations already in place.
Congratulations Kevin!
Ashley Leighton Plom
VP for Support
