End of Episode Six Thread

[Jason Conway]

The end of an episode is upon once again. This thread is dedicated to the wrapping up Episode Six "The Eye of the Storm" and the change-over to Episode Seven (to be named) and is worth following for updates, awards and promotions. We usually try to do one of these at the end of each episode to help keep it tidy and keep everything in one place for you.

There are plenty of out of mission threads to get stuck into if your episode thread has finished and you are waiting for number seven, or spark up an out of mission of your own, there are a few spaces open

At time of writing it is just the base story to go, the nerds have almost got it solved and the infirmary has gone somewhere in a hand basket! Episode Seven is looking even more exciting than ever with a new concept being tested. Promotions, team changes and awards are on their way.

Meropis Shop Update - I will soon (potentially after Christmas rush has passed) be updating the Meropis Shop with a round of new items as part of the end of episode stuff, if you have any requests before I do so, please head to this thread to request an item. I will also be combing through the shop images to refresh any missing ones.

VOTING (LINKS TO FOLLOW)

The Episode Six summary thread has been updated with the conclusion of each of the episode's plots. The last few posts are just rolling in now but it seems we've completed the story and generally most of us have survived stargatemeropis.proboards.com/thread/1427/episode-eye-storm?page=1&scrollTo=9719

Episode Seven - Cause & Effect has now begun and full plot summary along with posting groups can be found at this link stargatemeropis.proboards.com/thread/1628/episode-cause-effect

There's still time to vote for your favourite character, thread, quote and individual post for Episode Six using the post further up this thread. The stakes have been raised for Episode Seven as Cass has announced this contest for the top posters at the end of the episode stargatemeropis.proboards.com/thread/1634/contest-winter-2015

I'd like to announce a slight staffing change. Sadly, due to inactivity we have had to step down Chicago "Roo" Eastlyn as a moderator. She did a wonderful job and it pains me to do this but Roo, if you're reading this, I hope you come back to us soon to continue Chicago's story. To fill the rather big void Roo will leave, Tom Chambers has joined us on the staff time as a full time forum moderator. Tom! (not his real name) has been doing an excellent job behind the scenes throughout Episode Six and he now joins us as part of the furniture. Welcome aboard.

Finally, don't forget to stick any requests you might have for the Meropis Shop in this thread stargatemeropis.proboards.com/thread/1331/shop-request-thread as a shop inventory update will follow over the course of the next few weeks.

Yes. I figured that the conduct she showed recently... At least most of the times.... Merited a promotion. It's only to O2, so it doesn't really matter much apart from getting a wee bit more pay xD
