Over the next week and a half I will be spending a lot of time working on the website.  You can expect to see some changes, but a lot of it will be 'behind the scenes'.  Some pages may appear to be under maintenance while this is going on, so don't worry if you see that.  Divisions will be implemented into the forums and website.

     Our second division will be Called Phoenix Division.

Phoenix Division will be a home for members who play Guild Wars.
It will be led by Wesfett.

Wes has been running our GW guild since its creation and has gathered a rather large group of players.
Well done Wes and keep up the good Work as the Phoenix Division Leader!

Any who are in {CM} mainly for Guild wars should post here and drop Wes a message.

     For the next step of our changes, we will have divisions again within CM.
We have decided to segregate them by game or game group.

The First Division will bare the name Aquila.

Aquila Division will be led by Omagon and will contain players who are mainly here for the Battlefield series and CoD series.

Any who here mainly to play these games should post here and shoot a message to Omagon as well.
A few more divisions will be named and created in the next few days.

Congrats Ommy! Do us proud!

     We are now in the process of recreating a structure for CM.

It was decided to go to military ranks(which you can see in the other announcement).

The Council will Remain with the Masters titles still, at least until we can decide on something more appropriate that stands out.

We will be recreating Divisions within CM. We opted to segregate divisions(at least for now) by which game you mainly play. Division Leaders need to be Officer rank. We will be allowing the Division Leaders to name their divisions.
Members who play Multiple games will have the choice as to which Division they are assigned.
[b:2khfo51m] You all will be expected to check in on the [url=http://www.crimsonmercs.com/cmforum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=779:2khfo51m]appropriate[/url:2khfo51m] forum in order to be ranked.[/b:2khfo51m] (You must follow the previous link and post a reply!)


We will keep you updated as we progress.

     Everyone in CM needs to read this!  SD has decided that ranks can only benefit CM and thus we are going to implement ranks.  Over the next few days (Maybe weeks) I will be working to convert much of the website to support these ranks and SD will be working on adding ranks to people.  All current CM members will likely bypass a few or even many ranks based on SD's decision.  The decisions will be based on your time in CM, your activity and anything else that you have done to benefit CM.  Further instructions are going to be posted in the members section (Most likely over the weekend) on how you will gain your rank.  You can also check the members section now for a list of our ranks and the rank images they coincide with.

     Due to recent spam attacks by what is presumed to be various spam bots which were posting pornographic content and links to illegal websites it has been decided that guests (unregistered users) will no longer be allowed to post on ANY sections on this website.  Guests will still be able to read the 'General Chat', 'New Recruits', 'News', 'Geek Support', and 'Forum Help' forums.  If any guests are reading this or if you have a friend that wants to post then you now must register on the forum and please email me at webmaster@crimsonmercs.com telling me your exact forum name you registered with and why you are registering.  'Just to say hi' will be an acceptable reason, anything to know that you aren't a bot.  This decision is final and it is unlikely that we will ever revert to the permissions we previously had.

     Well fuzzy got us a 50 slot TS for free - Heres the IP
69.12.92.15:21427

     Unfortunately our TS has been canceled because Headshot can no longer afford to keep it up.  Sorry guys.

     We are in the process of getting a few different game servers up

In order to make servers for us to use a clan, we will require donations to put towards the good of all of us.
Servers arent free and if you guys wanna get the kind of activity we are looking for going as well as finding some more good recruits to join us, we will need odnations.

Anything that can be given is a good donation. Every bit helps. This clan will be successful if we all work together towards a common goal. Right now our main goal is getting these servers up.

I am also working on a new structure that should be going into effect in the next few days.

Once again, The Evolution has begun!!

     We have a teamspeak!  I will be making a tutorial on how to connect at some point, but for those of you that know how to connect this is the ip:
ts52.gameservers.com:8832

There is no password.

If you don't know what teamspeak is, its just like ventrilo, google it to get to the site.

     As I have been appointed the new Grand Master, My first appointment is to name Wrath as the New Master of Affairs.

We all know he is highly qualified and the best guy for the job.

Congrats, Wrath!

     It as of this moment that I step down as Grand Master of CM. RL has started to get the better of me. College and a baby on the way I have thought about this long and hard on this matter and I have decided it would not be right for me to lead this guild from such an inactive position. So it is with great regret I step down as leader of CM. But at the same time I have the pleasure of announcing my sucessor. Stardragon will will from this moment  on be your leader and the next Grand Master of the Crimson Mercenaries.

Congrats SD !!!

     Well here it is!  Once again the forum matches the website with the introduction of our new website theme.  It is completely based on our forum theme and looks just like it, and all the colors match . Please tell me about any errors you may be having!
**Make sure you CTRL+F5 if you think a page looks weird before reporting it, this will refresh the page and clear the cache for that page**
**USE FIREFOX!  The site looks perfect in firefox, but it looks...bad... in IE.  I pretty much used the CSS standards, yet again proving how IE sucks!**

And...Whats this?...A wiki?
http://www.crimsonmercs.com/wiki/
Yep thats right, CM has a wiki now!  Everyone should register and start writing/editing pages!  I will be making a wiki team, and everyone on the team will get sysops (Meaning they are an admin) and will make sure that no one is screwing around with it!

     I figure bringing the {CM} Forums here from our guild in the Beta Server of Astroempires is an excellent way to liven up our forums, promote activity in our non-AE games and for all of CM everywhere to merge into one group as it should be. Although our name has changed to The Corellian Mandate in Beta, we are still Crimson Mercenaries and shall always remain {CM}!
