I was under the impression that I had to test something for you Papi. But I haven't seen it yet. (I mean, the 'second' version) Forget my email problems when you do have it ready. I'll find a way to retrieve it.

Hmm, seems like the Credians are gaining popularity thesedays. The above link is from a thread in the general fleet discussions section and is also about Credianity, although geared toward it's military. And it illustrates why Epsilon said the SC needs to approve whatever we come up with. And he is not likely to accept anything if your newby alter-ego can not be older than a week or two or so. So, I advise you to be carefull not to step on his toes. Especially the origin of the RANDOM missile could form a problem there. Unless you know more about that thing than I do. Maybe it's because I haven't been through all the ACMs of bc3k yet. (let alone bcm) Still, your creative input will be very much appreciated. Welcome to our community.

Appearantly I'm way ahead of you. I never added it to my sig

Yeah, I was editing and adding that last paragraph. But nevermind. The motto seems ok. And I don't like the idea of nagging to the SC about another logo change or whatever. I'll live with it.

quote:I think that Cmdr Rico, as Wing Leader, should decide if the new proposed logo has to be submitted for approval by SC. I will be waiting his decision. Well, ANY logo needs to be submited for approval. I am not nor ever will be an exception to that rule. But I like it enough to do so, if that's what you were waiting for. Sure go ahead. (I'd think it would shorten the communication lines and prevent confusion if I'm not the mediator inbetween) You have my approval to get THE approval. Just point the approving party to this post incase they ask about it. Oh wait, hold on. You have the motto in it too. Nothing wrong with that perse. Just that "Mars Gradivus" is really a name, not really a credo or expresion of approach to life. But maybe I am wrong. Am not so into motto's. And haven't got a clue about greek or latin language. I just don't want to get into strange embarrasing sittuations of our motto not making sense. Let's get this straight first. If there is anything to set.

Subtle hint: Topic

Since I haven't got BCM yet my suggestion is highly speculation. I just checked upon the BC3K BC damage appendix and it says this: quote:ENGINEERING This is the heart of the ship's operation. From this facility, critical systems such as weapons, cloak, engines, reactors etc. are all monitored and maintained. Repairs orders and power management procedures are also carried out from this location. If this part of the ship is damaged, it hampers the tasks of the system engineers. This usually results in longer repair and replacement times due to loss of equipment, injuries etc. If this location is extremely damaged, it could cause all repair and other critical operations to come to grinding halt. Affected Personnel and systems at this location A good chance SC didn't change this code. But check your bcm manual to be safe. [ 12-03-2001: Message edited by: Rico Jansen ]

Huh? We were playing nice, were we not? Or atleast those backhairs that got raised are from weeks ago. I would think that was resolved by now.

You read my mind, since we were talking greek.

If Stephanos is correct, I would prefer "Gradivus" obviously.

In response to Jeffery quote: As I mention in my previous post, this charter was posted by me as submitted by the Shadow Inc. director who wishes to remain incognito. Yes, we realise that there is a direct contradiction to the Intercorp charters. As I have also mentioned amendments are on the way, but I'll leave that to the Shadow Inc.'s director. Appreciate your comments.Come on Jeff. Don't hide behind Mr. X. If you don't want to warrant what he said then let him dictate his response to you and you post it here. How's he going to attract business anyway if he's into hiding mode. Any potential member will follow his example and not show up if you ask me. quote:1. Weeeeelll, we're not actually asking for your agreement, we're telling what we're doing which is only polite. Sorry if you don't like it, but you can't have everything. 2. Please see above. 3. Glad you agree, I just mentioned that to inform you guys that all the charters were created from the prespective of the respective castes, so if you have any queries, ask the respective Directors, I'm just helping out by posting them. 4. I agree. 5. Read my previous post. 6. We were on full swing from the get go, so there's no more changing of gears 1: No that's stubborn, eventhough it's also polite. If Intercorp's (or any other free enterprise) policy is not to the liking of the fleets (I suppose Gammulans too, but we're not really on speaking terms, so what do I know) then we'll make it's life very hard (but proportional to the extend of discontent). I realize that I haven't put out the official position of Prime Fleet versus Intercorp or general businesses. But that's because it's not fully formulated yet. But it's in the pipeline. 2: See above where?. Please be more specific to the post or line. 3: Hey, you guys are building the whole thing under one construction named Intercorp. Then don't look funny when you as one of it's directors is called out to answer. (Especially you Jeffery, as you were the one wanting to accomodate for all the castes available) Intercorp is a team of businesses, so aren't you supposed to back your fellow director? If all the business are responsible for their own, then why don't they have a forum topic for their own. 5: Which? "11-19-2001 21:21" or more likely "11-19-2001 00:23". If the latter, quote:1: That Intercorp will not be held responsible to any actions by common members;No. IMO if intercorp allows a contra-fleet contract to get established (wether or not in fleet territory, but on the corps premises) and the fleet finds out, it has every right to pursue intercorp too. I mean, you're watching the news right? Do I need to mention the Taliban in Afganistan? quote:2. That Intercorp will be held responsible by any actions of all the Intercorp office bearers. You know what, I personally would be lenient to that. If a certain director of a subsidairy (or the sub itself, but isn't the director the face of the sub) commits an act (or really keeps committing acts) considered a crime by a fleet, then I would say Intercorp goes free IF they break all ties to that outlawed division. If they don't, well, then they risk becomming out-lawed too. But that's just my personal POV. All you need to worry about is your reputation. 6: Well, you're right on one thing. You guys have less acces to the fleet secure servers. [ 12-02-2001: Message edited by: Rico Jansen ]

Sorry this reply took a while. Been busy a bit. I never said anything about mugshots. Yes, ofcourse it takes a (second) watchfull Prime member to notice the issue here. Bunny alert!

quote:Fair enough, on a general basis, mercs will not stick their hands into the proverbial beehive for fun, as there no money to it, but I'm sure you'll agree that we're attacked while on an trader escort mission, you will respond to our SOS, right?What do you have in mind? You get paid for safe passage of the trader, and we do the messy work? Think again, Mister. Not that. We have no interrest in coming with an all-out assault on the attacker and relieve you of your duty. We will atleast respond with the question if you can hang it out or not. If the escorts are on the loosing side then we will make sure the attackers won't have the upper hand no more. Sure we will keep an eye on you. But the escorts are the first line of defense.

... or is it so dark (ops) in Wraith that you guys can't see eachother's face in that station of yours. Take a good look. [ 11-19-2001: Message edited by: Rico Jansen ]

I don't know why this person you mention it getting it via EB and then into Australia, but there is a normal way to get it for international orders. BMT Micro takes the international orders. On this page, the 2nd small picture has a link to the secure off-site order form. It asks for a credit card but check or money order is also possible. I'd say the latter way (bmt) is faster than EB plus standard mail.

quote:Originally posted by Cmdr Jeffery Eu: Shadow Inc. The Assassin Division for Intercorp Unlimited 1. That the members of Shadow Inc. will be separated into four designations, Grandmasters, Masters, Executioner and Apperentices; 2. That all members shall obey the orders unconditionally of their senior in Shadow Inc.; 3. That prior to all assignments undertaken by Apperentice members of Shadow Inc.,members must request permission from a senior member; 4. That an Apperentice member shall be promoted into a Executioner member after the completion of 20 paid missions and the approval of a Master member; 5. That an Executioner member shall only be promoted into a Master by the permision of a Grandmaster; 6. That an Apperentice member shall pay his/her Master 50% of his/her profits; 7. That an Executioner shall pay his/her Master 10% of his/her profits; 8. That a Master member shall pay the Grandmasters 10% of his/her profits; 9. That any unauthorized Assassins/assassinations will be dealt with in a harsh manner; 10. That members of Shadow Inc. must obey the commands of the directors of Intercorp; 11. That assassinations of any members within Intercorp are strictly forbidden and will result in expulsion and ultimately execution; 12. That members of Shadow Inc. must receive a retainer deposit of at least 30% of the contracted amount before undertaking an assignment;2/3/10: Sounds like an infringement of their freedom if you ask me. If they like that, fine by me. If they don't, fleets are just as interesting, if not safer. Care to explain otherwise? But I mention this because it is neccessary in relation to the quotes below. 6/7/8: I see no need for this piramid 'scheme' to be of any use to either the members or staff of the division. Apperentice (though I seriously believe "Apprentice" is the right spelling) is crazy if he 'donates' 50% of his deal to his uppers. What's he getting in return. The Executioner won't know what to do with that money. (I'd love to be his bankaccount manager. Half of Shadow Inc.'s revenue is stockpilling there.) And Grandmasters, ... oh well, I already shared my views on this un-transparent money flow scheme. Which goes for all of Intercorps subsidaries. 'Directors' just decide and sign the contracts. Any costs for the corp are payed by the corp itself, by means of the accountancy department. Sure if you say the director holds the division's bank account, then it's ok. But that still makes the intermediate cashflow stages like Masters and Executioners (and all other caste equivalents) obsolete. Just make sure all members deposit their fees into that account. Safer too. No mid-level manager that runs away with it. They can get a daily/monthly allowance and/or run the errands (contracts) themselves, IMO. quote:1. We will not discriminate against any race or caste; 2. Members with the exception of office bearers are NOT bound by any of the rules and regulations of Intercorp; 3. The Charters are drawn up by the respective Directors without any additions from the other Directors, which means that the Charters are drawn from the point of view for the specific caste that the Charter addresses to; 4. We really, really would appreciate comments and suggestions from anyone, contrary to Shingen's feeling that we're slamming him; 5. I would really appreciate it if you fleeters could stop threatening the Corporation or its members, we're in business, so anything goes. Don't expect everyone of our members to conform to your rigid wants and needs which would be contrary to rules 1 and 2; 6. Remember the fleeters might be gearing up for just MP but we're gearing up towards GCO.1: And we (I think I can speek for all the fleets) have no objection incase Intercorp changes her mind on this. IOW, that's your (Intercorp and gang) decision. Not something we have to agree on. 2. Intercorp as a whole? Or any of it's parts? If the latter, then tell me how rules 2/3/10 of the first quote DO NOT contradict to that. Like Shingen, I think your saying one thing and then the opposite, and then that we don't get it. No, we don't. Get it yourself? 3. Seems natural. A charter for Shadow Inc. is not for Guns For Hire Inc. if they have their own set out. 4. I don't think you were slamming him, but see number 2 above. You are just butting heads. 5. Hey, we're in OUR business too. And guess what goes when war/martial law is at hand. The Military Way! And read my remarks at 1 again. Those are Intercorp's personal restrictions, not ours. 6. Gearing up? Don't grind your teeth when changing from neutral into 2nd.

Well, that, and an extremely subtle inquiry as what or why a *bump*?

/RP Did nobody ever tell you you need to be dead quiet if you want to catch bunnies. RP/

quote:Originally posted by Supreme Cmdr: *bump*I thought he fixed those collision-detection things ages ago.

I know that! Been here long enough for that. It's just that I wanted to count how many times the few-months-old newbies got it wrong and yell at them about it. But it seems the search function wants to protect them for some reason. [ 11-19-2001: Message edited by: Rico Jansen ]

Comprendo, though I couldn't even guess to the link of 'lead to victory' and 'gravitus'. You know, thinking in terms of gravity and that. [ 11-19-2001: Message edited by: Rico Jansen ]

Forum search still seems fishy. I tried searching for the keyword "Vesperion" in the misc. race/caste section but it only came up with the "Vesperions Recruitement drive" thread. But I also noticed that word in page 7 of the Organisation thread. (Jeffery's post : 11-16-2001 20:12) Could it be that the search function can't search beyond the first thread page?

quote:Ahem, that's why there are mercs for hire right? Anyway having a military is really good, as we get free protection within the respective fleet's jurisdictions and also unlimited firepower and reinforcements.Who said that? If Jeffery and his merc gang are going to stick their hands into a beehive, guess who's comming to the rescue. Not us! You want trouble, you lick your wounds yourself. Tip: You're missing a paramedic division. If Rattler and his gang, or some raider bunch decides to pay our territory a visit, they'll know we will be there. But nobody ever said Guns For Hire Inc. is pulling a contract out of that (magician hat ).

Sorry, noticed it myself too. In the proces of fixing it. (Along with the links and stuff)
