[R12-L] Region 12 Recap!/Come, friends, who plough the sea!

Thu May 8 16:14:22 PDT 2008

Rather than to be a kill-joy and state how much of a bad idea I think this
civil war / wargames scenario is, I'm going to play along.  This is Region
12 and STARFLEET, after all, Vice Admiral.

So.

Avast Ye scurvey dogs be ye well put on notice.  We be declarin' Vice
Admiral Herring as a scoundrel with a black heart.  We of the USS Chicago
arrrrr tossing our commies to the deck and be hoistin' the good ol' Jolly
Roger!  We declare war on Starfleet and them insufferable Imperial dogs!  Up
The Federation!  Fight fer her honor and join the rebellion!  This foul
Herring is nothin' more than a PUPPET of the EMPIRE!  We'll capture his
sea-swollen hide and make him walk the airlock!

I hear we have brother aboard the BortaS and the Black Hawk... arrrr...

Region 12, the REVOLUTION IS NOW!  Long Live Wayne Kilough, the Pirate King,
may he live long and proser!  Now take up yer phasers and sabers and prepare
to do the king's dirty work!

A ship can do as much or as little... and things may happen to a ship,
within the parameters.... like I said: no ship can be destroyed, no named
people can be killed or captured.  I do know some chapters are excited about
this.  Stay tuned.

For those who weren't at Summit, its very simple: the chapters can
participate as much or as little as they want. Its another thing to be
involved with.  But at the Region level, we are ISS. Thusly the new logo.
Now, next year at Summit, if the Federation ships outnumber the ISS ships,
the the Federation has pushed back the ISS incursion. If there are more ISS
ships, then the Federation has been pushed back. I need to hear from all
chapters by June 6, 2008 or your chapter will be considered Federation, but
you are allowing the ISS to come in. 

As I said at opening ceremonies: what does this mean to the local chapter:
nothing. You might ask, then why should you do anything? That's up to you. I
DO know that at the banquet and closing ceremonies we were already starting
to see chapters getting geared up for ISS. Not to mention signs floating
around about the 'benefits' of being ISS. Its something that the ships can
do as little or as much as they want. If the entire Region goes ISS or
states they are staying Federation, then the ISS has been kicked out or the
Federation has been defeated.  No region in Fleet is entirely ISS. There are
a few chapters that are ISS. If Region 12 did go ISS, we would be the first.

You can do as much or as little as you want. But for those at Summit, the
mood was good. Those who were going to be ISS and those staying. And there
was a lot of good natured "tough talk" amongst the chapters. There will be
fictional reports coming from R 12 HQ about what the ISS is doing. As I
mentioned to a ship's captain when he was asking about writing stuff up: you
can't destroy or capture a named ship in Region. Nor can you kill or capture
any real members.  But the Ensign Joe Redshirts, well, I feel sorry for
them. 

I hope this has made it a bit clearer. It is definitely going to be
interesting.
