CALIFORNIA: We hate good things~

So Berrik said he was going to go to sleep and finish the update in the morning, but bleh, fuck that. Vlad to the not-really-serious-or-urgent-situation-resolution!

… that sounded kinda long-winded, didn’t it?

While I nurse my misgivings at how my state can be so politically brain-dead, there were two battles today! Things might be starting to heat up in terms of combat soon, so grab your popcorn – and maybe have a backup pilot in mind, too, since we had our first KIA of the game today as well. Shocking!

More Vladate, more smoking guy:

Today is Election Day!

Another timely Vladate, courtesy of our fine battle writers (and Scarth).

Today there were three battles, although only one was pretty large. The new members should have MS profiles and EUNI assessments up now, so go be proud/cry of those. Otherwise, everything should be taken care of now.

Please direct all bitching about roster/ship inadequacies and errors to the appropriate SNAFU thread as usual.

One thing that’s great about smoking guy is that he seems to post about 2 – 5 new videos of him smoking every day, so no matter how many Vladates there are I’ll always have a fresh smoking guy video to post. Isn’t YouTube grand?

I see live people. (gun shots) I see dead people.

Nothing that severe, in case any of you are worried. 2 Spars and some selling of stuff going on tonight.

And I went ahead and removed the inactives. Sorry, folks, but a week’s warning is enough time.

HALLOWEEN = ALMOND JOY TIME

Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t~

Anyway. We had three mobile weapon changes this weekend, as well as a not-quite-new recruit – enjoy the fun and so forth! The E.U.N.I. assessments will be posted shortly so don’t get too worried about that.

For the rest of us, I hope everybody had a good Halloween/weekend, and payments for members and battle writers have been administered accordingly.

As usual, it would not be a Vladate without smoking guy:

Teamsters

Vlad-Berrik collective bargaining agreements have been reached and normal work duties shall resume tomorrow.

In honor of this moment of compromise and good will, smoking guy:

Per some discussion with Vlad the shop changes are being reverted for now.  Both the EU and Rogue shops will be seeing some price changes soon, but the exact nature of those will be up for discussion by us, your questionably competent leaders. ;p

Also, for what it’s worth, I apologize if my admin bias crack went over wrong. People constantly accused me of it in the last RPG and thus I occasionally make jokes about it. I’d like to think that if I was actually seriously biased then I’d try to be a bit more subtle about fucking people over. <_>

Just as an announcement, Vlad is recusing himself from further staff duty at this time.

As always, smoking guy:

Some rules/shop updates

Haha no new toys for you, sorry folks. All Earth Union units now come with L2 pilots by default, but the prices have been increased. The prices on certain other units have been increased additionaly to represent the large demands on the supply chain from you dudes in Africa, as well as a temporary shortage of Guyana class land battleships. Furthermore, talented pilots are proving more difficult to locate within the Earth Union ranks. Analysts suspect this is because many are already concentrated within the ranks of the 431st, meaning there is a temporary shortage of better than average shoulders. This, as you may imagine, translates directly to an increased RU cost.

On another note, I removed the “destroyed” status from the rules since it was confusing people. In addition I clarified the joining section to note that some SRW units are joinable.

The EU players may now begin posting about admin bias on their board.

As a reminder…

This weekend’s a suit switch weekend. Also, be sure to check the roster– there are quite a few inactive folks on there, and it would suck to be removed if you’re still actually around. ;p

oh snap

Well, it’s another Vladate, and this one is surprisingly on time too. What the fuck is going on here?

One battle today, although fairly brief. Also, please welcome Argon Marutobi/Destiny Gundam back to the fold – he’s the first of the big wave of inactives from last weekend to return to activity. Huzzahs and such.

I can’t help but think I missed something, however – it’s one of those irritating “you fucked up and you’re so dumb you don’t even know” voices in the back of the head, which is infinitely irritating. To wit, please check your rosters and complain about inaccuracies in the relevant thread.
