Message: TOPICS FOR MEETING: [1] we have tried taxes, the system does not work for the defiant or most any other org, there's better ways to earn money like farming mutated chickens (thanks ravemar!) [2] we aren't getting a city anytime soon but it is still a goal [3] unfortuneatly people come and people go, that's life
[4] some players would like raids of mid level RK dungeons (biomare, SD) [5] new 'clones' are not to be accepted, zombie is selfish and wants to do other things, work can continue on current soldiers, no problem, just @ a slower pace [6] be respectful of people's time, agenda and goals, some are too busy to help, some want a city, some DON'T want to PvP, etc. [7] don't have a cow

Message: [Stats, Part 1]
Okay, here's some interesting stats on the last batch of inactive players that were kicked (around 136)..
Enforcers, soldiers, doctors and fixers account for over 51% of those kicked. Fixers (-0.9%) and doctors (-0.8%) account for the largest percentage drop among professions, while meta-physicists and traders were the biggest winners (both with +0.8%).
Nano-techs, adventurers and engineers all had modest gains (all +0.2%), while soldiers lost some ground
(-0.3%). Bureaucrats and enforcers additionally lost -0.1%. Keepers, shades and martial artists made the opposite jump of +0.1%. Agents presented no change.

Message: [Stats, Part 2]
Opifex had the largest percentage differential, losing 34 inactives and dropping -0.7% compared to Solitus losing 50 inactives yet having no percent change. Nano-techs (+0.3%) and Atroxes (+0.4%) picked up Opifex's lost percent ponts.
Finally, males lost -1.6%, while females gained +1.2% leaving the androgynous to gain +0.4%.
What does this all mean? Okay, so you don't like playing defensive then maybe doctors and fixers aren't for you though you won't really know until you try! And it's a pretty small survey.. but hey, if you're androgynous, it seems you've just got more reasons to smile.

Message: add okay, the bot situation is critical and we must kick some players to make room on the bot's buddylist.. please kick INACTIVE members that have not played for awhile and send them the following message:
Hi, The Defiant is removing inactive players from their roster to make way for new recruits and to fix a bot error that occurs when orgs have too many members (1000+). Receiving this message means that you were removed from the org for inactivity or that we have made a big mistake and accidentally kicked an alt or whatnot so please forgive us. We are sorry to have to do this, but if you get this message it possibly means that you are not inactive and we'd love to have you back! Just contact a member of The Defiant to rejoin or if you decide to go elsewhere, best of luck to you, as well.

Thanks to player Crty and org Hired Thugs for their help securing VW 1, along with all the members that have helped in the attack and previous attempts. Good job also to all that have taken time to place towers.
We should also perhaps investigate strategic placement of fortifications known as Anti-Personnel Turrets (APT's) for players with Lost Eden to be used against enemy ground troops.

Message: Bot update implented.. halloween bot has gone bye bye.. rotated the previous color scheme around and added some icons to certain windows.. also increased bot security..
The status of Varmint Woods #1 mining operations quickly came to an impasse due to superior armed enemies and terrorists.. the current best approach is attrition and as enemy reinforcements and interest increase will likely change to guerilla warfare for an indefinite future..
All members of the org are authorized to participate in warfare and espionage against Equilizers, Equilibrium, Equilibrators, Synergy Factor and Mjolnir. The LCA's of VW1 and GC6 are of particular interest but any holding by these organizations are valid targets. Please only engage these targets and their allies unless unless authorized.
