Like a stewardess after a flight from Kansas City to Baltimore with connections in Chicago, Nashville, and Richmond, Ford's noticing an abnormally large amount of absent and soon-to-be-vacated seats in the briefing room here. More on that later..
-Squadron News-
- Psi's two-year anniversary is coming up! w00t! Expect a special 'Year in Review' and competition tonight!
- The bad news: In roughly three days, Psi has done another classic roster reversal. SL A.J. Peterson has been AWOLed, CM Zekk has resigned from the TIE Corps, CPT Psyko has transferred to Samekh Squadron, LT Tam Weltl has been AWOLed and CPT Jens Vigsted is now a Reservist. Sigh.
- In more depressing news, LT Draegar's e-mail is broken, though hopefully to be fixed soon, and CM Jon is still out of a working TIE computer.
- While we're on the subject of depressing stuff, Ford would like to share with you guys today's mathematics lesson:
real life goodness is inversely proportional to virtual life goodness.
In equation form, this is, where R stands for real life, k standing for the constant, and V for virtual life, R = k
V.
In layman's terms, real life goodness and virtual life goodness can never be at acceptable levels together, depending on the values. Where real life = good, virtual life = bad. And vice-versa. Of course, there is an exception to this rule, whereby real life and virtual life can be at extremely low levels simultaneously, but never at good, high levels simultaneously. :-P
- If anyone else has anything depressing to share, now's the time. :-P
- ...
- OK, more stuff...Citation Madness ends, with, unfortunately, only Ford and LCM Otter completing the mission. Yay Otter and Ford :-P Citation Madness is temporarily on hold, perhaps permanently, due to upcoming competitions, most notably at the moment, the anniversary comp.
- This depressing bit has a happy ending! Honest! :-P
MAJ Sanj, due to heavy RL obligations, has decided to step down as Two Flight FL. Fear not, however, there is a replacement! Congratulations to LCM Canen F. Otter on his appointment as FL! Yay Otter! Ford trusts you'll lead the Chick Magnets well. :-P
- w00t! We got medals! :-P
Ford received the Imperial Security Medal for placing second in the graphics comp, Otter the Palpatine Crescent for winning the Squeaker Sighting part of the Squeaker comp, and Sanj the ISM as well for his assistance with uniform creation and general activity.
-Wing News-
