I've been having a bit of a think lately about how things run and after a few conversations with the FC, I've decided that I'll try the nice approach with our command officers and members. I honestly don't like firing people or having to play the bad cop and in the end, it's a bit self defeating. However, this sort of thing always involves two sides, so it will require an effort on all command officers to try to be more open minded and accepting of what we are trying to achieve in the Emperor's Hammer.

Most of the COs seem to be progressing well with their assigned tasks. I'll be performing a review of where everyone is at in the next month or so. If anyone requires clarification on aspects of their tasks, feel free to email me to work out the details.

I've decided to extend the competitions I was running til the end of August due to a lack of submissions. This low number of submissions was in part due to a lack of promotion of the competitions by myself. Links to the competitions will be at the end of the report.

Work has been completed on the training system to faciliate the recruitment of members for Freeworlds. Hopefully there aren't any bugs in the code changes... The adoption of Freeworlds presents a very good opportunity for the EH and should be used to its maximum potential.

The Science Officer, FA Ender, has been awarded the Imperial Cross for his consistant work across a number of projects, including the EH Battle Launcher, various patches and other things. Congratulations to him.
