After some tinkering, the procedures for joining a division are finally updated.

All new recruits are no longer required to join a division before they reach 3000 Outfit Points. Instead, they now have 30 days (starting from the day they made their "I want to join GotR" post) to try them all out, apply for the one they like and join it. If you haven't joined a division after 30 days, your forum access will be revoked and you'll be kicked from the outfit.

To help new recruits get accustomed to the forums, a new forum title has been created. It is called "Newbie" and will be seen under your name in all posts you make. Everyone with the "Newbie" title will have limited access to the outfit-only area of the forums, namely the Ghost Training Facility, all the divisional forums and a couple of other important areas. The "Newbie" forum title reflects the "Private" outfit rank in-game.

As soon as you have joined your division of choice and have been added to its roster on the forums, you will be promoted to the "Shadow Corporal" rank in-game, and your forum title will be changed from "Newbie" to "Ghost (xx)", where xx are the initials of your new division - PG, WW, 555th or DL. You will also be granted access to all the outfit forums, including the Events, Suggestions, Strategy and War Stories forums, as well as all the other areas you were previously denied access to.

While your divisional or unit commander will usually update your status as soon as you have met all the requirements, it is your responsibility to check the forums regularly (as the 1st Pillar states) and make sure you are indeed in your division's roster. If you you believe you have fulfilled all 4 Pillars but are still a Private in game and/or are still carrying the "Newbie" title, you should contact your commander and ask him to update your status. If you don't do that and your commander does indeed forget to update your status, you risk being kicked out of the outfit after the 30-days period has passed.

The GOTR policy guide has been updated to include these changes and updates. Click here to read it, if you haven't done so already.

Hello my fellow ghosts. I once again am glad to bring to you a special outfit raid. I won't post any more details than what the titles suggests as we don't want to tip our hat too much to our enemies. Let it just be said that it should be fun for all. Follow THIS LINK to find out more.

After hundreds of beers and dozens of whisky bottles, Zeakster has put together the first GotR guide for new recruits. It's also a great refresher for the vets.

It can be found the Forum and Outfit information for new recruits. Check it out.

Congradulations brothers and sisters, we have done our fair share and helped to fully restore the nanite matrixes of ALL our vehicles once again. Through hard work and determination over this trying ordeal, we have once again proven to the foolish TR and misguided NC why we walk the chosen path laid out before us by the great Vanu.

Let this be a moment of reflection, but rest assured, the battle for control of the rest of Auraxis still rages on. Mount up in our re-aquired vehicles and move out. A soldier's work is never done.........

And here are the newest MVPs, for great justice:

Wind Wraiths - Warslugger. Yet another week, the award goes to a Spectre member. Thanks to his coordination with DNS, our reavers were nigh unstoppable.

Phantom Guard - Mustardman. This was his first time in the PG command channel, but he already showed great officer potential. His keeping of PG together was also exemplary.

555th - ZenBlue. In the absence of MaggieAnne, he took command of Fireteam Bravo and quickly tuned in to the rhythm of things, helping greatly in keeping them together and effective.

DL - Hachi05. He was quick in executing my orders and was a valuable asset to the Shades throughout the raid.

Congratulations to everyone who won - you deserve it. Stay tuned for next week's MVPs.
