Looking at the calendar I've realized that we're overdue for a Gold Squadron election. Since no one else is around these days, I guess I'll run it myself. I meant what I posted today through Brie, I'm stepping down for personal reasons. (My mind is made up, no one will talk me out of it like last time I tried to step down. It's about time for new leadership.) So PM or email me your nomination for your new Gold Squadron leader by noon Eastern on Monday. I'll then try to post the nominations and we'll have the election.
Also, check the Misc. board for two promotions.
Thanks, Major Brie Outgoing Gold Squadron Leader

I know that this is an hour earlier than I had said, but I won't be home later. (Yes, I do have a life outside of the Callisto.)
We have two nominees for the new leader of Gold Squadron. Ironically, they are also two of my best friends in the entire world. In alphabetical order, our nominees are Captain Amy and Captain Skyler.
Gold Squadron members, please PM me your vote. Because of the Thanksgiving holiday I'm going to run the election long. All votes must be in by noon eastern, Monday, November 26.
Congratulations to both our nominees. No matter who wins, I know that Gold Squadron will be in good hands.
Major Brie Outgoing Gold Squadron Leader
Side note: I will take the sticky off from this thread after the election is over.

GOLD SQUADRON MEMBERS:
It is your duty to vote! Every member of GS gets one vote. Don't assume that if you nominated someone that counts, only PMs that I received after the candidates were announced have been counted. If I haven't gotten a PM from you with your choice, you haven't voted.
I'm going to extend the election two days, for personal reasons. It will end Wednesday, noon eastern. Any questions, PM me.
Major Brie Outgoing Gold Squadron Leader

It has been my pleasure (most of the time) to serve Gold Squadron as leader for the last eight years. But it's time for a change. The vote was close, in fact it was separated by only one vote. So those of you who didn't vote (and you know who you are!), you should have. I will admit that I'm a little bit disappointed that some people didn't see the need to take part in the future of Gold Squadron. That said, please join me in congratulating Gold Squadron's new Commanding Officer...Skyler! According to our rules he receives the rank of Major and a place on Core Command. So congratulations, Major Skyler. (You might want to update part of your signature.) Please let us know who you choose as SIC and Third Officer. If you have any questions just ask, you know I'm there to help. Major Brie Callisto Training Academy Gold Squadron Advisor

Congrats, Brian! You had my vote...
I'm not too active any more so you might want to pick people who are around more as your supporting officers. Just a thought.
Good luck! Amy

To make sure everyone see's this I am reporting it from the Mis. Forum.....
Greetings to the members of Gold Squadron.
As the new commanding officer of the BEST Fracking Squadron in the Fleet, I want to say how humble I am to have been elected. I will do my best to live up to the standard set by the one before me. I know trying to follow the rule of a God(dess) is next to impossible but I will do all I can to live up to that standard.
For my command staff, I have thought it over and know I need people I can trust. For the position of Second In Command for Gold Squadron I choose Captain Brik. The good Captain has had my back for many a yarhen now and I know he will do he same with the Squadron. For my Third in Command I also picked someone I have know for a long time, and one I can count on. Capt. Logan.
I want to thank everyone who took part in this election, and hope that next year we have an even bigger turn out.

Congratulations MAJOR Skyler! I know you will do a great job leading the squadron and look forward to many adventures to come.
I am most honored to accept the position of Third in Command and will do my best to maintain the diginity of Gold Squadron and uphold the faith that has been placed in me.
And may I just say that Brie, you will be missed as our courageous leader but I hope to see you around the Callisto now and then. You have kept this game vibrant and compelling for many yahrens and I have the utmost respect for you as a writer, person, and friend.
