Newsletter #12 (!!) 07-2004
Introduction
I am in deep shit. Last two weeks almost everything that could go wrong did. First I loose my wallet, including all of my important papers like bank pas, Registration papers for the university and passport. Right before I went on vacation! So after a quick debrief with my mum we decided to use some sort of speed procedure for my passport so I could go on vacation just one day later. I would go on bike with my friends. And on the first day it rained! The second day was no different and the third day was more of the same. So after a heated discussion we decided to go back, going no further then 85 KM from my place. Anyway Sunday we arrived, yesterday it rained some more and I lost my keys and thus access to my room. Late in the evening I finally found my keys again and after my friends left the next day I finally got some rest… Given I had money to buy food from, which I didn’t. That day I lived of old bread and some soup 🙁 Today I wake up to get some money directly from the bank clerk and he says its not possible. At this time I panicked, cuz without any money and not much friends in Maastricht I had no way of getting to my parents (that’s where my new bankpas resides). So I head back to my room, but then I realize my apartment door was locked. And again I was keyless. After wandering through the city I managed to get a hold of one of the few friend I have in Maastricht and with the last of my cell phones battery I managed to borrow some cash from him. Now I sit in my room thanks to a house mate that came back today (again late in the evening) from his vacation.
Now… I can finally relax, working on my newsletter and after a relaxing game of Warcraft III: TFT I am roaring to go into the elections!
But that’s not all! This is the 12th newsletter! You know what that means? I am at this for a whole year! I have been entertaining you every month with a Member of the Month and funstuff. Ive kept you updated with everything that has been happening. And all of that with just missing one deadline (last months), tho it was close sometimes! I remember making a newsletter 30 mins before it was the 1st :P.
In other news, I managed to drag someone else into the newsletter madness. Whether he will be continuing to write or if it is just a one-time deal we will have to see. But in this newsletter I welcome Bazza! Welcome dude and good luck

Planetia Progress
Planetia… Hasent made any progress at all. The new round is far far away and speed rounds are held everyday. Sax has been the loyal player there, doing exceptionally well for himself and for SWaRM. By being one of the best players there is, SWaRM often is high on the rankings thanks to him.

Alliance Inside
Reviewing the old newsletters made me realise SWaRM has been on a move the last year. Ive been here as one of the longest members in SWaRM. Only few surpass me in time of membership. I wish I could say we only made progress, but I cant. SWaRM has had a lot of setbacks the last year, I could name them all. But if I am not mistaken its all in the old newsletters, or at least part of it. But there is one thing SWaRM always did: Get back on its feet. It will take more then a few setbacks to bring SWaRM down and I got the feeling that as long as SWaRM hold true to its nature we will survive. I will hope there will be more members like me, sax, rookie and others but most importantly like anom. If we stick together there will be no stopping us, not now, not ever.
Good thing is tho that activity in IRC and on the forums is high, at least by a select few members. But activity inspires activity right ^^ To all the lesser active ones I recommend you participate in the many fun things on the forum, there is a lot of good stuff there.
On other cheerful news: Elections are coming up! Sign-ups are closed and the questions are being asked. I hope you all will read the answers carefully and vote for him who you think would be best for the job.
Good luck to all the runners!

Member of the Month
This was one of the hardest parts ever. And I have a more or less sad announcement to make. This month and last month I found no one really worth of the title. Henceforth I have decided not to make anyone Member of the Month this month. I hope you can respect my decision and all I have to say now is.. Go for it next month!

Bazz’s column
First of all let me say hey to all of you, and secondly, thanks to Alexei for giving me this opportunity, he has been very lenient, and held back till the last second for this little article.
Now, for my first time I’m going to try and talk about something of interest, I would say fun things but been funny is not my strong point normally, anyway time to put my no skills to work and talk to you all.
Living at home, I just don’t know how people that are like in their early 20’s can still live at home, I’m 16 and I hate it, whether it’s the fact some people have a better relationship with the parent than I do with mine could be why I don’t see how they can put up with it, I’ve always been at home before everyone else in my family has finished work, and my responsibilities came down to every think that needed doing I had to do, Now what I don’t understand is why some people choose to stay at home their hole lives, or how their parents can do every think for them it total *censored* baffles me, then again I guess been the youngest in the hole family doesn’t help.
To be fair, I suppose that some of you can do this because of the way you have been brought up, not that I haven’t been brought up well, but with the military its slightly different, so what I would like to know is * assuming Alexei does not mind OFC * is what you all think about living at home.
Thanks for the time and a bit of the lime light Alexei, and hope y’all enjoy reading this.
