Newsletter #7 10/4/10
Records Update
When you all joined the forum you were asked to input your coordinates, both homeworld and colonies. These are only accessable to the officers for security reasons. But many are now outdated. So I would like to ask that everyone takes a few minutes to update their coords.
To do this please go to ‘User Control Panel’, Profile and then scroll down to the box on the bottom of the page. Please try to keep to the format XX:YY:ZZ
Ninja Tactics
We have finally started to bait targets this last week. Meaning we have someone sit with res home and a colony in a different galaxy waiting for the !, and other people sitting waiting to send group defense. Not managed to catch anyone yet, but it’s only a matter of time.
A New Hope Poll
The poll has now ended, with somewhat fewer people bothering to vote than we would of liked. The vote started of heavily swinging towards pushing forward with the NaP again but as more info was added people started to realise how unorganised they actually are.
The vote ended with the majority saying we open them as targets. Bare in mind this is not war, nor will be hunt them down deliberately, they will be treated just like any other alliance.
IRC
To connect to IRC
– Log in to the forum and tick the ‘stay loggin in’ box
– Go to http://www.swarmcore.co.uk/irc
– Your name will be filled in for you
– Click Connect
– You’ll find yourself in #swarmcore, our public channel which is shared with extreme section and anyone who wants to join the channel
– Go to the top of the page
– Click #thehive, our private channel, restricted to only SWaRM members.
Colonising
The best way to gain ranks is to have all colony slots filled up. Whether you keep them nearby for resource gathering or have them as moving battle bases. Having colonies in different galaxies will open up your hunting areas, we have people all over the place who would love some new attack buddies, myself included. I would also love to see more of our sectors full of our own members.
Help Guide
Help Guides
There are some new help guides available in the FAQ section, and hopefully more will be added in the coming days.
Hostilities
This week has seen some familiar people go back to the top of my hit list. dburn and Star Prince David (23:225) thought that my days income of 600k res and a few ships warrented using 40missiles on me to get it, shame they got bugger all. But theyve reawoken my interest in them. The Hive will pay them a visit (The Hive being my mobile colony). They also managed to catch a small fleet after I forgot to set my alarm, damned people setting up attacks on IRC, I just can’t resist.
SWaRM Attacks
Not seen any reports this week unfortunately. On Friday afternoon I managed to get a few raids going in g23 and g25, could have had many more if more people were around. All went well except one involving Zaphod (sorry again dude, my mistake).
If you have a decent battle, please take the time to share the report with us all here
Recruitment
This week we have had another member from the recently fallen SST join our ranks, we have also had all members from the ‘Ironside Alliance’ join us. I welcome you all to SWaRM.
Promotions and Vacancies
This week has seen Admiral Nemesis join the command team, he assumes the role of Intel Officer.
There are still vacancies for:
2 x Battle/Tactic Officers, to find and stalk targets.
All the positions require IRC use and forum activity. If you feel you would like to apply, or would like to recommend someone, then email me or pm me on here. I would like people to come forward wanting the extra responsibility and the chance to help improve the alliance as a whole.

Next week, it’s Clems turn to take the spotlight. However, with our opposite time zones it may not happen.
And in a coversation after the interview, it seems you can look to me being interviewed at some point in the future.
