Ok, guys that wraps up this weeks report. I'm impressed by our current activity levels. We're starting to pull together as a squad and not just be 1 or 2 guys doing all the points. 4 of us had good weeks activity wise and we'll need to be patient and strike up an accord with our new members. As always, you can find me on irc quite often. Download mirc or another equivalent program and go to us.undernet.org or eu.undernet.org and then #wingxiv and you'll likely see a CM_Doros there :) I'll be sending out some mailings early in the week indicating our upcoming squad competitions.
