With the Christmas season right around the corner, I would like to make it very known to any and all that the GsE will be hosting its own Christmas party in the Empire on December 19 and 20. The party will stretch into several days and will be a joyous time of gladness and merry-making! ALL people that were either in the Empire in the part or are now citizens are invited! The party will be on Agion and specifics will be given closer to the date. Thank you all and see you there!
Recently in the Empire, there have been some extremely diligent undertakings in terms of recent construction. About two weeks ago, both Senator Ghostxtfx141 and Emperor Spencier undertook perhaps the most ambitious building projects the Empire has seen yet! Behold, the fruits of their labor!
The Grand Court of the Empire
The Imperial Ministers Building
The Poorhouses
(though they really are not that poor when you look at them)
None of this could be accomplished if not for the tireless and ever diligent work of one, Ghostxtfx141. He has been the main supplier of the Empire in terms of materials and has been the wind beneath the Empire's wings in her glorious expansion. We salute you Ghost!
White coats to bind me, out of control
I live alone inside my mind
World of confusion, air filled with noise
Who says that my life's such a crime?
Trapped in this nightmare
I wish I'd wake
As my whole life begins to shake
four walls surround me
an empty gaze
I can't find my way out of this maze
'Cause I don't care
Fall in, fall out
Gone without a doubt, help me
I can't take the blame
They don't feel the shame
It's a madhouse
Or so they claim
It's a madhouse
Oh, am I insane?
My fears behind me, what can I do
My dreams haunt my sleep at night
Oh no, won't learn their lesson, white fills my eyes
And only then they see the light
Do not fear my fellow Imperials, we will not be having any phones or hipster hats just yet in the Empire. Our Emperor has taken-up an old task of making the Empire her very own website!
Using trusted sources, the website should be up and running by the beginning of next week if finals don't get too much in the way of our already very busy schedules.
So far, the sight looks great: gold and white flags everywhere, images of the Empire all around, and many pages for Imperials to peruse. This will likely accompany a general re-formatting of the forums page to be less information intensive as, in truth, it is very intimidating to see a long page with about a dozen different spoilers, each hiding a manifestos worth of text. Hopefully, this should curb things a bit.
If anyone is interested in contributing to the website, let the Emperor know! Any and all help with writing, picture taking, and general idea making will be greatly appreciated! That's all for now but, as always...
The Empire has officially made a new branch of the government. The Imperial Exploration Administration was officially founded on December 9, 2015 at 9:25 PM CST.
This commission (non-military in nature) is devoted to the exploration of lands within and outside of the Empire, hunting down mineral reserves, exploring foreign lands, and possibly founding colonies. This administration will be tasked with exploring the world of Agion and bringing artifacts from around the globe into the Giest Museum's deep basements and exhibition halls in Origo.
Recruitment for the organization is open and any Imperial may join.

This administration will be tasked with exploring the world of Agion and bringing artifacts from around the globe into the Giest Museum's deep basements and exhibition halls in Origo.
The ranks for the IEA are based on the US Navy for simplicity.
Ranks:
Junior Enlisted
Seaman Recruit – This is where you start; get used to people addressing you as ‘boot’.
Seaman – Once you have been trained and you have proven that you are a capable sailor you will be promoted to this rank. You are now an official member of the IEA.
Petty Officers
Petty Officer – If you show leadership qualities and willingness to help people, motivate them and complete tasks, you will be promoted to Petty Officer. You will be assigned one or two subordinates and you will be responsible for managing them.
Chief Petty Officer – If you prove that you can handle being a leader and managing your people; you will be promoted to Chief Petty Officer, where you will be in charge of two to four Petty Officers.
Master Chief Petty Officer – There can only be one MCPO at a time. To reach this rank requires the utmost responsibility, respect, trustworthiness, and motivation. You are responsible for managing all enlisted members of the IEA and assisting the XO (Lieutenant Junior Grade) and CO (Lieutenant).
Officers
Lieutenant Junior Grade – Reserved. The LTJG is responsible for collaborating with the LT on many things such as projects, who to promote, who needs discipline (beyond the level that a PO can administer), and generally assisting the LT.
Lieutenant – Reserved for one person: SombreDolphin93; who is in charge of the entire IEA and manages everything involving it.
What you will do first
First you will be contacted by a Petty Officer or an officer and given the IP addresses we use, as well as other useful tools. Then you will be given your uniforms and information regarding training. You will take your oath, then you will go through boot camp and receive orders.
Rules and Regulations

-Respect all members of the GSE, follow all lawful orders.
-Do not start any wars without high command’s permission, if someone is disrespecting you, another member, or the GSE do not reply; report it to a PO, or a Commissioned Officer. If you are attacked, fight back, and report it to a PO, or a Commissioned Officer.
-You must try to keep your activity up; if you are going to be gone for a few days inform a PO or a Commissioned Officer.
-Put Orion in your application to show you have read the rules, and the rest of the thread.
-POs and Commissioned Officers will not abuse their ranks .

So far, of all the former GsE members who have been invited to the Christmas Party event, nine have affirmed they would attend the event. This number does not count people who are PRESENTLY in the GsE however (those numbers will soon be released). So far, so good with the party. This weekend will be centered around preparation for the event and getting Vertu readied for the bash. Should be a great time!
As we enter the first weekend before the Christmas Party, a great deal of preparation has to be made! The Tree is up in Vertu to bring in the Christmas season and, soon, many gifts of various types will lay beneath the tree. Vertu will be gussied up for the event and we all should have a grand old time one week from now.
Origo has also underwent some new additions with the creation of a large wall next to the poorhouses and flattening the once peaked hills of the city. Soon, upon the walled area, there will be a new structure to be seen for miles around! Planning for the structure is underway presently and is looking to be one of elevated repute. More information will be provided as planning continues.
There will be pictures in the next Imperial Press post, so be on the look out for the latest and greatest in the GsE!
Hey there everyone! Just wanted to let all know that things have been very busy for me IRL with finals coming up and college letters coming in. I should hopefully have a post later today on the progress of the party coming up and on other things going on within the Empire. Thanks for your patience and All Hail the Empire!
No big update for now but just wanted to let everyone know that we have a great set of games lined up for the Christmas party. They all are centered around drinking (MC in-game booze, don't worry) and we are open to any and all suggestions for more games that anyone can enjoy! Feel free to comment in a reply to this for your suggestions. Heck, you don't even have to be in the GsE to suggest!
The party area in Vertu is fully prepared with a Christmas Tree
A gussied up Vertu
Even the Imperial Administration Building is festive!
And finally, no proper Imperial party would be complete with a beer garden!
We hope to see all those invited at the party tomorrow! The main events and Christmas gift unwrapping under the tree should take place at 5 PM CST. After that, in-game mini-games involving profuse amounts of alcohol are scheduled.
Those coming to the party may come earlier if they like to chit chat or stay after for the same. See you all soon! Merry Christmas and, as always....
The first day of the Imperial Christmas party was a smashing success! Many joined the Empire at the party from accross Agion; some from the KoC, others from the KoA, server staff, and old friends. All in all, it was a great party and we hope to see everyone (and more) there again tomorrow for the second day of festivities! More games, more fun, and much more beer!
(And a special thanks to Devil_Creator for getting all the booze ready in a hurry, it would not have been anywhere near as fun without you my friend!)
For a significant period within the Empire, we have long since desired establishing outposts and colonies - far from our natural borders - upon which to establish ourselves and bring back goods to the fatherland. That, my friends, has occurred.
As of Monday morning (December 21, 2015) the Empire has set forth the first foundations for a future colony on the warpulse server, known as the Colony of Aurum. This colony is to be entirely devoted towards promoting Spencorian culture on the new server and act as a center for trade in the region in which we are centralized. The Colony is in the very early process of being created and has almost every job open for filling! Builder, farmer, miner, etc, everyone is needed! If the Empire is to rise to any form of repute in this new land, it will be through the efforts of her united peoples.
If you are interested in joining the Empire in this endeavour, please contact me (spencier) either here on the forums or on skype. As I said, everyone is needed to make this colony truly spectacular!
