Hutt Cartel Newsletter
November 13th, 2014

Number 10! This marks our tenth newsletter, boys and girls. With it, comes a celebratory format change with cool stuff like our Member of the Month. Why? Because we can! We're the Hutt Cartel! Criminals and gangstas alike! This is the place to come and get a quick update on what is (and has been) happening in the Cartel. First and foremost a quick introduction to the team; Insoulent and Cassanova are our Assistant Faction Leaders and are always happy to help, listen, problem solve and brainstorm! The Cartel Faction Leader is me, Hutticane Matt. Its often been said that the three of us do things that no sensible admin would allow.

I'd just like to confirm that rumour as True.

Anyway, importantly stuff to report… like things… and… stuff.


Council Request
After like… 12 months of existing we finally realised we didn't have a Council Request thread. So we made one! The Request a Council Member thread is used for getting an audience with a member of the Hutt Cartel Grand Council. This function of the Faction is not only for Cartel members, but also diplomatic parties from other Factions.

So if you need an in-character meeting about something of import, head on over and post!


Up, Up and Away
Promotions, Rewards, etc. We'll keep selling it until you stop buying it. But instead of the usual "please go apply for a promotion", we thought we'd outline exactly what you can do to achieve your rewards!

  • Tier I Reward
    Requirements:
    • Hold the rank of: Prospect
    • One (1) completed Mission or Bounty
  • Promotion to: Enforcer
    Requirements:
    • Two (2) completed Missions (You may use the mission used for Tier I reward)
    • Two (2) other completed 'jobs' for the Cartel (Missions, Bounties, Battles - other thread types are included at the discretion of Hutt Cartel Leadership)
    • One (1) Champios/Captain (or higher) ranked character vouch.
    Rewards:
    • Tier II Product
    • Right to operate small/medium Assets
  • Promotion to: Champios/Captain
    Requirements:
    • Four (4) completed Missions (You may not use any missions that occurred as a Prospect)
    • Four (4) other completed 'jobs' for the Cartel (Missions, Bounties, Battles - other thread types are included at the discretion of Hutt Cartel Leadership)
    • Two (2) Champios/Captain (or higher) ranked character vouch. (You may not use the same character who vouched for you previously)
    Rewards:
    • Tier III Product
    • Right to operate and manage large/planetary assets

In short, to achieve the rank of Champios/Captain and acquire a Tier I, II and III reward you need to have completed at minimum six (6) missions, and six (6) other Cartel jobs in addition to having received three (3) separate vouches from different characters.

Twelve (12) threads, and three (3) chats with some higher up characters. Easy!

MEMBER OF THE MONTH

CARTEL CHARACTERS

Flamjetxx​
Flamjetxx has committed a huge amount of time to a massive write up which we are still working our way through finalising. You guys will see the lengths to which this guy has gone to shortly, but be warned - its impressive. Its this unwavering commitment to delivering high quality ideas and write ups, as well as consistent support for the faction that has earned Flamjetxx this month's, and our first ever Member of the month!
Trivia​
Flamjetxx had arranged an attempted stalk of Cassanova IRL, but due to scheduling, he will be unable to complete it as Cassanova is moving to another part of Australia.

womp womp.



Assets

We just wanted to take the opportunity to remind our members on how assets work within the Cartel. There are a few key points we have to visit. Firstly, we just wanna remind everyone that Prospects are not allowed to manage or operate an asset. They can, however, do missions to earn money to being paying for the things they'd need to establish an asset - networking with higher Cartel members to fund what you want to do.

Secondly (and very importantly), its imperative that before you start this process of setting up for an Asset, you follow the steps outlined on the How Can I Add an Asset thread.

We just need to make sure that the assets are established properly and role-played out correctly. Just keeping it fair for everyone, and making sure that we, the Hutt Leadership know what's going on within our faction. So just follow the steps in that thread, and most importantly; talk to the Leadership team. We'll let you know when all things can go full steam ahead and how to proceed.


Activity

Last month we spoke about the big-A word. And you guys have responded amazingly! In the first week after that newsletter alone we had 6 applicants to the faction - more than the four weeks preceding that combined! That's only the start, mind you. We've got the first act of the Onderon Heist happening as well as a flurry of missions, bounties and story-building threads!

This is good news boys and girls, and we just want to say Thankyou. There aint no Cartel without you [st]scum[/st] awesome people here to [st]fluff out the roster[/st] fill our hearts with joy.

We only hope we can keep this level of activity as par, or improve even more. We are the best faction, after all.


HawKylaen & Christophsis

So that leads us into our next big faction event. Some of you have already participated or are currently participating in the opening stages of our takeover of the planet Christophsis. Maelibus Mining Inc. has bought itself a seat on Christophsis' Oligarchy and will be sowing seeds of chaos and destruction in order to bring the planet to its knees. This is being led by HawKylaen, who in his infinite insane wisdom has created a large outline involving a series of missions that will give us a greater and greater hold on the planet's oligarchy and resources. Sign-ups for various stages of the plot will be posted as they become available.

There will be various awards and prizes handed out as the event progresses, including some assets on and off of Christophsis as well as other neat things.

This event is specifically designed to cater to all types of PC's using a plethora of differently themed threads and possible approaches to them.


Promotions!
Haha! And you guys thought we had brushed over it with the 'road to success' thing earlier on! Tricked you!
We have three surprise promotions in store for you this week. They're surprise because not even the members who we're promoting knew about it. Why'd we do it? Because these characters have done some seriously great work and earned the promotion too.

So let's clap for a moment for the success of Befallen, Pureblood-Sin, and Zay and their characters who have all been promoted from Prospects to Enforcers!

Don't forget to head over and collect your Tier II rewards, guys! (LINK)

Anyway.
Thanks for coming and having a read, guys.
If you have any questions, queries or suggestions, feel free to post here!

Thanks peeps,
Hutticane Matt

I'd like to give credit to Saul, who developed the template this Newsletter format was based on. If you would like to use the character profile version of it, go to this page and make sure you credit him for his amazing work!
