Mason Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 [center][img]http://i60.servimg.com/u/f60/15/80/18/24/unscpr10.png[/img][/center] The new year is upon us and we, at the UNSC, are ready to jump in "feet first". We've had the opportunity to enjoy the holidays, relax a bit, and even managed to get a little bit done within the UNSC. Admittedly, we were mostly drinking, sleeping, and partying. Yeah...we know how to have a good time. Even with that, we got ourselves a new [url="http://cybernations.wikia.com/wiki/UNSC_Alliance"]wiki[/url], increased our score by .25, our average NS by 58k, gained 4 members, 8 nukes, and a partridge in a pear tree. [center][img]http://i60.servimg.com/u/f60/15/80/18/24/jan1st10.jpg[/img][/center] We understand that these statistics aren't all that impressive to the casual observer. Stay tuned...it's a brand new year, baby! January 4th will mark 2 months of our existence on Digiterra. In that time, we've created a foundation for success. I would personally like to thank Force Colonel Henry Rollins for his amazing work with the Training Facility, as well as his loyalty and dedication to helping others achieve new heights in their respective Divisions. The UNSC would not be nearly as impressive as it is today, without him. On behalf of the UNSC, I would like to welcome our newest Marines. Matt Bowen, titodafarmer, and djsaix have proven themselves worthy of the title. Another newcomer, Etnie, is currently in our training program.

Here we go.... [b]January 5th - 29th[/b] will mark our first recruitment drive. The overall goal is modest this month, aiming at a total of 20 new members. The winner, being the person with the most recruits, will receive 250 merit and $6 million + 50 tech to boost their nation. The winner will be announced right here, in the February edition of PRESSCORPS. We're hoping for a competitive race and some quality recruits. New recruits must complete BASIC in order to qualify as a legitimate recruit. [b]January 1st - 15th[/b], we are holding a signature contest. This contest is open to the public! Rules are as follows: [list] [*] Entries must be submitted in the Graphix section of the Halodeck. [*] Those wishing to participate must register on our forums in order to gain access [*] Signatures must be a UNSC themed sig at 450 x 150 px [*] Signatures must be generic...no specific member names [*] Limit 2 entries per person [*] Winner receives $3 million -or- 50 tech. Their choice. [*] Winner will be announced in the February edition of PRESSCORPS [/list] We encourage you to drop by and submit your entries. Good luck to everyone!

Several of our members are approaching their 2 month anniversary with the UNSC, including 3 that have been there from day one. All total, 8 of our Marines will receive the 2 month service commendation ribbon this month.

Two months may not seem noteworthy to some, but in a world of waivering politics and fickle people, we find this level of commitment honorable. I look forward to awarding these fine Marines with a star attachment for their ribbons on their 4 month anniversary. o7 Before they could become Marines, each recruit had to graduate from BASIC. This is our entry level training program, which introduces new recruits to the UNSC and covers basic knowledge of CN. Each of our members now proudly wear the Level One Training Commendation Ribbon. Congrats to all.

Both have earned the Level Two Samaritan Ribbon, awarded for contributions of $15 million +.

UoU, a merger between The University and Unity, was founded on Nov 7th, 2010; just three days after UNSC. Initially, they seemed to be a promising alliance. Originally led by Kevanovia, UoU underwent a change in leadership not long ago, with Kev stepping down, citing real life commitments interfering with his ability to continue leading the alliance. Shadeslayers09 assumed the helm for a short time, but what took place next is not entirely clear. During the final week of December, Shades was away on vacation. During this time, Kevanovia allegedly formed a plan to merge UoU with the UPN and abruptly disbanded the UoU as an alliance. Kevanovia is now a Triumvirate in the reformed UPN system, while Shades has joined The New Guy. As for the remainder of the University, sources report that an alliance vote was not taken on the decision, although they are under the protection of UPN. The UNSC has always considered Kevanovia a good friend, and we wish him well in his new venture...although we're interested to learn more about the circumstances surrounding the events that took place.

Shadix Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Awesome issue, Zhaan. Hail The UNSC! None of this could have been possible without the dedicated work of our wonderful leader, Zhaan; the hardworking Henry Rollins; the generousity of Octavion and Semper, and of course, our protectors, wF. May the New Year bring growth and prosperity to our great Alliance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
