Welcome CMDR's,
I trust you all had a good and fruitful weekend?
If so, or not, then you are now required to give us your post after action report thing. Please give details on what you planned on getting done and what you actually managed to do... These things are not always the same.
Why are you so nosy Bran? Well I make these threads not just so you can tell us what you are doing but also to inspire others who may of hit a brick wall or be looking for something different to do.
This is your chance to inspire others!
Traders – Did you make a profit, if so what on and how much?
Pirates – Were the pickings fat or slim this weekend?
Bounty Hunters – Did you find your mark and claim the prize?
Community Goal's – Did you take part, if so how much did you contribute?
Explorer's – Find anything interesting this weekend?
PvP'er's – How was the weekends action? Any interesting fights you want to tell us about?
Overlords – Did you keep order in your system or are the rabble rising up against you?
If you don't see yourself in one of the above brackets then tell us what it is you did!
Later on this week I will be once again posting one of the most controversial questions I have ever asked on these forums – it's been several months and with a whole batch of new players it is once again time to ask the most probing of all questions. Make sure to visit the forums on or after Wednesday afternoon to cast your vote (Not a real one – only a mod can do those and of course there is no way Tj would ever let me be one of those as he is to scared he'd get banned along with Maynard and of course Phillips... Not sure who I'd make into the Tea lady/boy.
Now for something completely different which I hope you will take the time to read.

During my life I have been lucky to witness our ever changing attitude towards others with abilities that differ from our own. I see the Para and Invictus games making great strides to inspire disabled people lead a full and active life. I've seen life's transformed for others with physical/mental disabilities through the use of technology.
As I've grown older I have felt the increasing desire to give something back tot those in a different circumstance than myself and so I support Special Effect in their goal to help as many disabled people as possible get both fun and stimulation from video games as they are such a great way of engaging a person and their mind. This is also the charity which Frontier do a lot of work supporting too, our very own Galactic Intern is an ambassador for the charity and of course he hosts the 24 hours live stream each Christmas to promote them and raise funds. When I met Ed I was sure to thank him for the work he does as should we all.
Some of you will remember the little event I did during Comic Relief which I really enjoyed and it managed to raise a little money too so win win all round... Now it's time to raise the stakes... A Lot! As a 50 year old man who has never been to a gym since leaving school I don't consider myself very fit but also not overweight – I'll keep telling myself this – Therefore I have taken the bold decision to begin training for a half marathon... Why only half Bran? Well I want to do a full but the advise I have been given is to aim for the half first and then go on to a full length one later... If I survive is what I think he meant...
Now the only reason I am doing this is to get you lot to sponsor me or at least be inspired to make a donation. I'll keep the forums updated with how my training is going in my normal Weekend threads so you can all have some fun at my expense. My hope is that early next year I will be ready for one of the many events held around the UK. I would appreciate it if one of the mods could ensure Ed gets to see this, I know he's busy but he's also a great promoter of all things Special Effect!
Thanks for taking the time to read the above, now back tot he normal 'Stuff'
Oh, wait, that's all there is for now....
You all know the drill by now, tell us what you did this weekend and how crazy you think my plan is but of course, keep it clean and have fun... It is Fri... Monday after all!
