Saturday, eh ? Uhm, let's get my act together then and write a little about what happened last week:

(1) The PHP Programming I course was released - props to that P:SCL who is recently mentioned in a whole lot of reports. JaM3z, you aiming at something higher ? ;-)

(2) I have handed out a few Steel Crosses for dedication and service to the Shadow Academy. The recipients are:

M:HM Cuchulain for keeping it all together while I was on leave - he solved a few critical situations just perfectly, thanks!

EP Tissaya for her Meditation course, an unexpectedly popular choice of SA visitors lately

EP Lorad Desmos for the Krath Poetry course, one of the clearest and best structured introductions into writing poems out there.

(3) You will likely only rarely see it on the dossiers, but Apprentices and just-graduated Novices are no longer considered Rogues. They are members of the training campuses on the Shadow Academy:

Onderon Campus - Sith

Deneba Campus - Krath

Karana Campus - Obelisk

There is also Khar Shian Campus, the host of all the general studies and central facilities of the Shadow Academy, but there will never anyone be assigned to this unit. In this context, watch out for a complete description and floorplan of the Academy premises in the near future!

(4) I'm discussing with several DC members about major changes to training that will make it easier and faster to reach a Clan for the average newbie as well as increasing early advancement options for members.

(5) I've received a number of trainer applications for Jedi Outcast, but very few for JK, XWA and XvT. Please, if you play one of those three ames and are willing to help out apprentices, make yourself known!

(6) Remember the Shadow Academy Crest competition!!!
