Silent Hunter replaces Henry Cooke as CO of IKV Vindicator

Appointment 86:

As anyone familiar with the Vindicator is aware, the SSR numbers for that ship have been in terrible shape for the last few months, if not more. So it has become apparently obvious that a change in command is needed in order for the ship to succeed.

On the recommendation of the fourth fleet flag officer, and a vote by this council, I hereby appoint Silent Hunter CO of the Vindicator with the rank equivilent of Commander(I'm not quite sure how that rank will play out in the Klingon rank systems, Lt. Colonel or Major I would wager).

Congrats and good luck Silent!

Haru Haseo removed from Council of Elders

Appointment #34

While Haru Haseo has been a valuable member of the Council of Elders he has failed to respond to multiple emails regarding Council business which according to the AJJE Games GP makes him AWOL in his position as a member of the Council. Therefore effective immediately Haru Haseo is being removed as a member of the Council of Elders.

LOTW Resolution #29

Resolution #29

LOTW voted on whether the Election Coordinator must appoint an Assistant Election Coordinator within 30 days of assuming office, so as to keep the Election Ship department in line with all other administrative departments.

The results are 35 in favour, 1 opposed, and 8 abstained. The motion is therefore passed.

This successful resolution vote secures a failsafe to ensure the smooth running of elections and resolutions.

Out of our current 85 members, 44 voters is a 51.76% turnout - not too shabby at all!

Our last voted Resolution was actually in May (Resolution 20, Plom 2 administration), and back then we had 25 votes out of 99 registered members; 25.25%. We may be seeing a trend, too - there were some 33 voters in the elections in July.

This is great news for the club, a good sign of our ongoing commitment to democracy. The Administration will be analysing turn-out from the club's RPEs so we can congratulate those COs who have achieved high turn-outs and encourage those COs who might need some pointers on how to make sure their players know about their right to vote.

Alex Verdusco steps down as AJJE Games President

Today, Alex Verdusco formally ended his term as AJJE Games President after four years, passing the torch to Jeannette Giesbrecht.

 

His final act as our leader was to award the first AJJE Presidential Award to long-term player Jessica McClary. He then made the following farewell address

Ladies, Gentlemen, and Tribbles...

 

The time has come, and boy was it a long ride. When I started down the road less traveled many years ago, there were many times during my term that I questioned that decision. I could have taken the easier road, the less stressful and time consuming one... but in the end, that isnt my nature.

 

I am going to speak in metaphor now... as we are all creative writers are we not? As I pack up my desk on the 20th floor of AJJE Games, I look around. The desk itself is massive and costly, made of solid oak. A large set of reference books are lined up against the southern wall, along the northern wall is a sitting area, complete with couches and a fancy globe of the world. The globe slowly rotates, seated gently on the plush carpet. I take a moment to look out the windows onto the downtown area, the sun setting in the distance. I take a deep breath, and lift up the small card board box with the last of my personal items...

 

Four years ago...

 

I sit at a card table in an old stuffy basement... its legs are wobbly and there are chips on the surface from one of the last three parties it was used for. Across from me I see Jess sitting on a lumpy old sofa, with her lap top, doing her best to stimulate RPing. Eddie sits on an old milk crate trying his best to manually process the days applications. The floor is pure cement, unpolished at that. There are no windows, no views, no sign that what we are working on will result in anything. I take a deep breath, and plow ahead to the future...

 

This best says where we were then, and where we are today. Its been a long journey for AJJE Games, but a successful one. We had some smashing successes, and some devastating defeats. We had some great conversations, and some bitter arguements. But overall, I believe the good outweighed the bad.

 

As I leave office I have no regrets on the path taken. I wish the new Administration the best of luck. I ask that they carry out the history project, as I believe that there are a lot of people and events that should be remembered. I did my best in the last email to name some of them, but there are many more. I also believe that when people know where we have been and how far we have traveled, its not so hard to dream how far we can go. I ask that the next administration continue to stay true to the principles of the founders. With all that said, I am excited on what the future holds.

 

As of 11:10 am PST on September 30th 2009, I hereby relieve myself as President of AJJE Games. I assign Bert the Tribble as acting President from 11:11am PST to 11:59pm PST. At 12:00am PST, in concert with previous Presidential Orders, I hereby order Jeannette Giesbrect be elevated to the position of President of AJJE Games.

 

It was fun... I was honored to do what I did... I wish you all luck... and as always... have fun... be creative... and always take the road less traveled.

 

Alex Verdusco

Former President, AJJE Games

 

Alex will continue to be involved in AJJE, not only in Server Management, but as CO of USS Independence  on SFHQ.

Explosion on Akers Bluff

After a fire broke out at Harkin's Gun Store, someone decided to put out the fire by putting a gas cylinder in.

This has caused a massive explosion and levelled the store, but at least it's put the fire out.

Mutiny on Raug'Moss!

In a thrilling twist, a mutiny has been attempted on Raug'Moss!

After seeing Captain Adman murder the Athens dockmaster (who was annoyed after the ship's weapon systems went wrong and shot up a derelict, Samuel Arkwright and Otto Schenke tried to relieve him of command.

Otto shot some people he didn't intend to shoot and now the two have fled, planning to get law enforcement to stop Adman, who is intent on fleeing the planet in a damaged ship.

Who will prevail in this struggle? Stay tuned!

Message Posted by Captain Cheeor-Captain (CO)

Cheeor-Captain toured the lower deck where was still on going. His tail twitched as he strode by engineers connecting cables, placing wall sections in place, or running diagnostics on systems already placed.

He felt a great amount of pleasure at finally having finally gained his richly deserved command. His liver practically ached with his desire to get the menial labors done and finally get under way.

...Eventually he departed the lower decks to once again check that his special fitted chair was being installed properly on the bridge, and to view the especially ordered trophy cases placed in his ready room. He wanted to once again look upon his great-grandsires battle armor, knowing he had finally earned his own.
