On the note of the faction's inactivity, I think people are nit picking a bit. It's been a while now since I last logged on the RM forums not to be met with at least a couple of eventful patrol reports. And I log on the RM forums on a daily basis. Also, I must thank Blodo and the revolutionary guys on your tip about the Skype channel. That surely did wonders for the faction's bonding. We even RP our characters' planetside encounters in the channel sometimes.
I would also like to thank our newer pilots (Brunhild, Malte, Westerman) for becoming the backbone of the faction in a time when most of the Admiralty was missing (Dustin going away, Jessy, Kane and I each away for their own reasons). I'm sure these guys are on their ways for promising officer careers. Virus also did a great job revitalizing the faction with the new cleared up ranking system and other key changes that he implemented.
I, for myself, have been coming back to activity this last month or so after a period completely away from Disco. Most of that time I have been catching up on RM's paperwork and getting to know the new pilots. My ships are yet to see a lot of space time, but I always have troubles keeping up with the routine this time of the year anyway. Admiral Krieger is bound to return to active duty by the next half of this month. Meanwhile, I'm sure our pilots are more than capable of handling Rheinland's security.
