Introduction

Here it is, unexpected, yet pleasent the new newsletter. Ok so I said I wouldnt make a november edition. But as RL settled down a bit I got some spare time and some good stories to put in it. Stories like the LT mishap and the elections. Also we have a new member of the month. Enjoy!

PA Progress

I wouldnt have a clue on what is happening in Planetarion. Last I heard it was dull as hell. I dont think that will have changed.

On the other hand, Planetia is a turbulent game. With loads that is happening. It all started last friday night, 21-11-2003.
SWaRM had a NAP with Lithium, a larger alliance, but unfortunatly Lithium split up into two sections for unknown reasons. The smaller inactive side remained Lithium, but the larger and active side broke relations with SWaRM and renamed to LT. A LT member, whose name is also unknown, attacked our member, SNOOP.
When requesting def Opus not only send def, but also retaliated against SNOOP’s attacker. The HC of LT were not pleased at all by this action and came with a lot of trouble to our chan and started threatening us to wage war on us if we didnt recall.
The only officer who was online at that time was Steve, and thanks to Steve the situation began to stabalize. Apperently for some reason (I know the HC was a jerk) he refused to talk to Steve anymore. Thats when I came online, steve then asked me if I could talk to him.
So I did, he was very rude to say the least and at first I really thought this is gonna be war. Fortunatly i stalled him long enough. Opus then came online and I asked to recall. The whole situation stabilized after that. And with great help from Steve we are now friends and they might be possible allies.

A message from Steve:
<[DC]steve> you could put in the newsletter steve the mighty saves swarm from another war as he negortiates with the mighty enemies

Alliance inside:

With the resigning of S0LDieR we now have 4 HC’s. That is one HC short. So there are gonna be elections for a new HC. Several officers have stepped forward to be candidates. They are: Xiphoid, Stu|, gecko, themast, Teki and yours truly: Alexei. With hard campaigning underway we can only start to wonder why the officers would want to be HC. Lets ask them for their personal reasons:

First of Gecko:

To the members of SWaRM I would like you to vote for the best candidate whom you think is best suited for the job. I hope that you select me for this position. All of the candidates that are on the ballot are more than capable to perform the task at hand.

Second themast:

I would say the 2 most important resons why i would be a good HC is mostly in IRC and recuitment. For the past 2-3 weeks HC irc activity is down a lot and so I think moral is down and ofc that has to change.
For recuitment I am going to carry on as normal trying to spot the spys and the people who really want to be a good member. Thx for your time and I hope u vote for me.

Third Stu|:

No comment 😛

Fourth Tekki:

The reason for being HC… Because I am there for the members.

Fifth Xiphoid:

Im not coming into this election thinking im better than any of the other candidates, i come here asking for achance to prove what i can do and to atempt to earn your trust and respect and for the oportunity to do all i possibly can for swarm. Also i wish all the other candidates the best of luck may the best person win

Last Alexei:

As an HC I will try to do my best for the alliance, but even more important: I’ll do my best for its members. Because thats what I think is being HC all about. To be there for the members. So I will try to keep SWaRM and its members alive and protected. And I will do the very best I can for this alliance and it’s members, so we can enjoy Planetarion and Planetia to the max!
