In The News Vol. #1

In The News
Vol. #1

September got off to a slow start, with Labor Day weekend here in the US, members returning to classes or just wrapping up their summer activities with a last BBQ or party, and other various factors, which made it seem like everyone was taking a sporting break from the game.

In the meantime, things continue to progress as planned, even though activity levels have been low for a bit now.

Here is a summary of current and ongoing events:

  • Low Sec: A Killing Ground
    Low security space in and around the Misaba area has increasingly become a crap shoot. There is almost never a time day or night, weekday or weekend, when there are not reds zipping about, being flagrantly dumb, but still managing to pop inexperienced haulers or people trying to be heroes.

  • Systra leaves AU-F, sells account?
    Systra, leaves the AU-F without a word, and proceeds to sell his account, claiming he got tired of Gallente and wants something Amarr. His motivations and why no one was notified of this change? Unknown. But the officers have decided he is not welcome back.
  • Eclypze joins AU-F.
    That energetic young person who has an endless stream of questions is earning his stripes among our ranks. With an ever fluctuating schedule in real life, look for this new member in your local space port, anxious and willing to join in on operations, to learn the ropes from the veterans.
  • Rasnow back from vacation.
    Rasnow returns from Myrtle Beach a little more tan than before he left but forgets to bring us back a beach bunny or three. GRR.
  • HuffDaddy: Rigging Manufacturer.
    Huff has purchased all Small and Medium rig BPOs and can produce them at your request if you provide him with sufficient notice and courtesy.
  • Mentaz joins AU-F.
    Mentaz, GRIEV's father, is an aspiring and evidently very well adapted manufacturer.
  • Falgoria flies Ishtar!
    The Failtar will take its maiden flight this week! Much love in a purely platonic way Falgoria.
  • Upcoming vacation for Mendolus.
    Mendolus will be MIA and off to Colorado starting Friday October 2nd and ending Sunday October 11th.
  • September off to a slow start.
    Explained in the preamble.
  • Providence space becomes volatile.
    Suddenly blobs, hundreds of them. What is happening to Providence? The future seems uncertain. Let us hop in the first available ship and lend a hand to our Providence brethren in defending that which is ours together.
  • Corporate schedule format changes.
    Starting today, the new corporate/casual schedule will be implemented. For instance, today (Tuesday) is corporate.
  • Maduin flies Prorator!
    I now have two cloakers at my disposal. /joygasm
  • Merth announces ore program
    See link.
  • Devin announces [corporate] lottery.
    Details are limited as the finer points are meted on the Senate floor.
