Well, what can I say. I missed last week's report, and there's been a lot going on lately. I'll try and keep this as short as possible, so I'm not flooding inboxes with a lot of stuff that you all probably know about.

The Sith War is going on, and we all know Tridens is going to own! Yaaaayyyyyy Tridens! Who knows when Pred is going to release the SP missions, but if he doesn't, hey, we'll just have to mob him, and pelt him about the head and shoulders with stones, and beat him with sticks and bats, and lots of fun torture! If nothing else, at least that will come from the Sith War. But Tridens is filled with talent, and I have no doubts that Tridens is the best, most dominant House in the Sith Order. You guys are awesome.

In other news relating to the Sith, I may have been informed of/found something that could help the Sith Order out, by adding a new game that might be taken advantage of. I've already mentioned it to Oberst, and I'm going to be working on testing things out, seeing if it's of benefit, and whatnot. More news of it in the coming weeks.

As far as Cestus goes, the CTF League is going on. Honestly, the creators of the CTF could've done it with a little more planning, which would've helped, but the boys of Cestus are making a showing of it. Also, we continue to have people like Sephiroth active daily on the JA server, and X-Pilot continues to work well on trying to keep the JO people active. Speaking of which, Blade Dranal (Cestus QUA), X-Pilot (BoF SGT) and Zekk were all promoted to Templar! Yay you three! Zekk was a little unsure about whether or not he deserved it, and I know it would've meant a lot to him if Zig could've been here to recommend, but Zekk did deserve it for his hard work in trying to rebuild Cestus in his time as QUA, and I think all three of them deserve recognition.

There were also two promotions in Gladius. Aedile of Gladius, Aari Nikus is no longer an Archpriestess. Aari was promoted to Epis, which is a good thing, since she's put in a lot of work. Kidouses was finally promoted to Archpriest, which was long overdue, considering the activity Kidouses has put out lately, and all the work he's also done in the past. Both of them also deserve recognition. Also, for Gladius, we have the results of my QUA comp. Yaaayyyyyy for the 5 people who participated! Yeah, we need to see more out of our Krath sometimes, but it's all good. School starting sometimes bogs people down. I try and keep comps fun, and what will only take no more than half an hour, so everyone should be able to compete in my upcoming Clan comp.

But for the results of the two events, the room description and the story event, we have...

Room Description:

I had 5 good entries on that one, and it did make it hard to decide. Everyone who submitted deserves recognition, since this event wasn't meant to be hard, or time consuming. In no particular Order, Zhada, Spears, Ma'arkhan, Kidouses and Telona did excellent work.

1st- Telona Murrage

2nd- Zhada Shorkan

3rd- Spears

Story:

Two good submissions here. Yeah, we could've had more, but hey, the two I got were great. Spears and Kidouses put in some excellent effort here, and they really are two imginative guys. I'm glad to have them in Gladius.

1st- Spears

2nd- Kidouses

I want to congratulate all of them for their efforts, and their rewards will be in the mail this week.

The ICTE continues to go well. Remember, every Saturday at 4 PM EST, the ICTE happens. I'll get a hold of a time translation, so I can list the timezone changes for everyone. Everyone continues to do good who I see there regularly, but we do have more people who could come. If you're able, come on out, and have some fun. You get CoFs, and it's a good way to practice for the upcoming events like the GJW.

Final things on my mind.... the Clan is getting trimmed. Spears is running an AWOL check for Gladius, and I already have a couple ideas on who's getting cut out there. I also know what the activity is like in Cestus, which will see a couple of cuts there. For people in Tridens, Rekio and Oberst are doing well keeping that House active, and working on missions. I'd just say, this is all about fun. I don't want anyone ever thinking of this as "work," or tedious and boring. This should be something we all enjoy. If anyone has every known anything about Tau Squadron, Tarentum used to be called the "Tau House," because basically every member of Tau was in Tarentum. It's been a while since that was the case, but for those who know about Tau, they were pretty much addicted to flying. We all have things in our life we're dedicated to, and that take up our time, but if we put our hearts into this, and if we dedicate ourselves to each other, and making Tarentum great, it won't disappoint us, and we'll have built the most dominant Clan of the DB.

This isn't something that's just a dream, or that's an impossibility. This is very much possible, and it's only possible because each and every one of you are here. You don't have to eat and sleep the DB, you don't have to live and breathe the DB, but the DB lives and breathes because of us. Let's make sure that we're not letting the DB exist as a sick puppy, just dragging its tail around, trying to survive. Let's get out there and make this Clan a machine that movies along like a locomotive, running down everything in its tracks, and an unstoppable force that can only be looked at in awe, and cannot be contained.

The Clan Specifics are proceeding apace, and working with a few certain individuals, the background for the Clan Specifics are coming along. I'm not releasing details yet, but I'm wanting to get a Clan comp surrounding the Clan Powers, and their background, by this weekend. It'll be something easy, something that we can all put ourselves into, so that the Clan Powers become something that's more than me or you. It'll be something that's all of us, something that will live forever.

This is the best Clan in the DB, Tarentum. Let's rock this place.
