It's been a great pleasure being with you Stevo. I know that things between you and I have been rough over the years, but even then you were always someone who was there to talk to, crack jokes with, and be someone to aspire to. Your service to the community has been greatly underrated, and I applaud you for doing everything that you have ~ Hornet

Hey. So year 12 has just begun, a very big, busy, crucial part of my life that will set me up for university and my future career. On top of this, I have been involving my self in performing arts much more than I have in the past, meaning I am often going on long extended hiatus's to practice or catch up with gigs that wasn't normally a problem in the past. So in the face of all that was going on, I have made the final decision to leave the Imperial gaming community after being involved in it for nearly 2 years. Yes, I am leaving. Not going on a extended leave for the year, leaving. So, after 2 years of commanding storm troopers, Imperial Awards, and IHC, I would like to give thanks to the members of this community, and make special mentions to those I felt I worked with closely. @Wolf Thank you for making and supporting this awesome community. Your constant efforts backstage haven't gone unnoticed and I wanted to thank you personally for making an amazing medium for me and so many others to be able to come together, and have fun. @Whitey Thank you for being there to answer my constant queries. I especially thank you for placing your trust in me when it came to projects such as the death star reveal trailer, or making dumb ideas of mine such as the Imperial Awards host: 'John Shover' into a reality. @Stevo. You've been with me from the start, and although we've had our ups and downs, I'd like to thank you for being an inspiration for me to aspire to. @Corvo @Alex @Department @Regret Some of the original and still remaining members of Widow squad. You guys helped me so much during my time as CMDR and i'm happy to see you all still working together as a team, to help manage the storm trooper corp when no one else wants to. @Welshy Although I failed and left shortly after, I can't forget to thank you for allowing me to for my first time ever, become a staff member and be a TEM...even if it was for a short time @Carnifex One of the first people I met upon coming into IHC, thank you for teaching me the ropes and showing me what to do @Jman1308 You've been what i'd call a good friend, and I've loved having laughs with you @SCHEFF Amazing PAC's and you've always been someone I've felt as though I could have a good chat to. @Cody Thank you for trusting in my abilities and nudging me in the right directing during my time in IHC, although you can be scary, I know deep inside you know how to have a good laugh @media team Pick up the pace, according to the trello I, as an individual, have still made the most media content @Boris Yes, After your year or so of begging for me to notice you, I finally did If i haven't mentioned you in the list, do not fret. I've had good times with so many people, and it's difficult to condense everyone i've met and shared a laugh with onto one list. Just be rest assured, you'll always be in my heart. So, thank you very much, and farewell ~ Hornet A more in depth reason why I'm leaving IG

Anytime i touch anything in IHC

-1 1. Loading music is infamously ridiculed by the Gmod community, adding it would make the server seem like a joke 2. As people have pointed out, it's difficult to configure volume properly for loading music, and this song has a few points where the volume changes dramatically, leading to various ear rape sessions 3. It does not suit the Imperial OR star wars theme of the server. It would be completely out of place. 4. That's a completely subjective viewpoint that most people will probably not agree with 5. I had to use this song for video compilation of a camp I went on, the song is now engrained in my mind and I hate it Also, the link you put in isn't even the original song, it's trashy re-upload someone made to try and steal views from this guy

A few people were asking me where I went, to which i realised that although i stuck the announcement on the IHC spreadsheet, no one else really knows. So the fairly bland and boring explanation is that end of year exams have arrived and I want to do well! So I've pretty much removed the stress of being the scapegoat of IHC and being told to do better at an artificial job, fill out artificial documents, for a role-play game until this wave of exams ends See you all then ~ Hornet

Since when did we become the French?

I'm so glad people enjoyed the trailer! I'm just as excited as you guys are [Unfortunate I wont be able to make it to the opening night]

I- i- is this a...SHITPOST?!

Long ago when Widow squad first got it's own class, the models were originally the scout trooper player models. However, I, along with Stevo and the rest of Widow squad pushed for the models to be changed to the current ones for a few reasons. 1. ST's thought that we were a completely seperate regiment. It's a bit hard to tell a new ST recruits what to do when they don't even think they are part of your command structure. We had a lot of instances where ST's would line up in completely seperate lines, think they were going to the wrong training session, or run away during events to find their "actual commander". We changed the models so that they could be identified as storm troopers, but have special markings to distinguish them from other ST's. 2. Invalid bones. Anyone who knows me understands that I love PAC. And a few other people in Widow have been also experiencing it's joys. But the scout models have invalid bones, making bone merging absolutely impossible. Shoulders would stretch into the ground and it would be a mess...that was my personal incentive for changing the models, as well as the reason listed above. 3. The "scout" trooper doesn't fit Widow squad's role. Widow squad was designed, and still is the leading figure of the storm trooper corps. They have distinguished themselves from the masses of ST's, and are the ones who are willing to lead and nurture the upcoming generations of players. In short, they are not scouts. The primary issue with your suggestion, is that the storm troopers would effectively be split into two different regiments. The ST's, and Scouts. This is unnecessary and is a detriment to the main advantage of the storm troopers, numbers. Sending a small group of untrained scouts when there are already other regiments trained in scouting would be of no use to the server, OR the ST's. That's my opinion, thank you for the suggestion though ~ Hornet

Good luck finishing year 12! In terms of your idea, I personally don't think it's necessary. If someone can be bothered to make a forums account and say how long they'll be gone for, then they DEFINITELY have the time to get onto a regiment discord [If they're not already on it for some reason] and make a quick note about their absence there. An activity log on the forums is just going to make it more cluttered and messy to get around. It should also be the individuals responsibility to inform his CMDR or to let someone know so they can pass on the message ahead of time, That they are going inactive for some time. Even if you don't manage to tell anyone you're going away in time, the random or general discussions section is a great place to quickly say that you're going away and for how long. A list of activity times and who is away is up to the CMDR's discretion, although i recommend it HEAVILY! All regiments have a spreadsheet for their regiment, and if it is found that they don't, then IHC will have words with the CMDR... The spreadsheet contains everyone who is in the regiment and their rank, and should be accessible by IHC personnel to view. Often, next to a troopers name is notes on their activity, which can be accessed by all members of the regiment. If you want your CMDR to add this feature to the regimental spreadsheet, then it is your responsibility to suggest it to them. But that's just my opinion Good luck ~ Hornet

NOMINATIONS CLOSED Good luck ~ Hornet

Nice job! You guys ABSOLUTELY deserve a big pat on the back

*Le Gasp* Will we actually get the media team making stuff?!
