Well, it's that time again, to hear another rant about the state of everything in Tarentum. Do you really wanna know? Well, I should hope so. I've got some interesting stuff to share with you all this time around.

The GJW might be taking a little longer than expected, with a lack of mission designers (apparently), so while the ones they do have continue work, it'll probably push it back while they contionue to try and get everything designed and tested for the Vendetta. Knowing that, plans are going to move forward to get the Clan Feud with Taldryan happening to take place of that for a while. Yep, Kir and I will be putting something to pit us against Taldryan, and I think it should be fun.

The CTF League continues for the Obelisk. We didn't have anyone show up to the match except... you ready for this? Me and Zhada. Yep. Sithie and Zhada. And I commend Zhada for the effort. None of the Obelisk showed up, but X-Pilot said he would've, if he hadn't been called away. Win or lose, guys, we should still put up a fight, even if we don't want to. It gives us a chance to be out there making friends. That's one of the reasons I'm such good friends with a lot of the DB. I've been getting out and playing JO and JA with the Obelisk in the ICTE, and I suck. We just need to make sure we're putting out as much activity as we can. If we can shoot for an 80% activity rate, we'll start getting better, and we'll start being the Obelisk who people want to beat, and want to test their skills against.

The Sith War continues, and the SP missions have finally been released. Yaayyyyyy. I'm going to look for clarification on something from FF, because I have the Sith games, and if I can fly the SP missions for points that can go to Tridens, I'm going to. Tridens, you guys are awesome. You guy have proven you're one of the best, most active Houses of the Sith, now let's get out there and get you the title. You deserve it, and I know you're going to rock the Sith War.

Now, for a little something interesting. As many of you know, I've been heading up a project to design a system and set of Clan Specific Force powers for each Clan. The project is slated to be finished and sent for approval at the end of the month. Tarentum has had the Specific powers of Necromantics, and I'm nearing final completion. The only thing left to do is to get the final write-up of the descriptions, and I have asked for help from a certain few individuals for critiquing, and for assistance on the final write-ups. While I'm keeping the actual system of it quiet for now, since I still have a lot of writing to do about the actual system, I'd like to show, for your viewing pleasures, the semi-final state of Tarentum's powers.

As final notes, I really want to stress activity. I realize that school has been underway now, and that real life always comes first. Anyone who has ever come to me with problems, that's one of the first things I say. You all have to give yourselves to your lives first, but we're all in this together. The DB doesn't take a lot of time and effort to survive, but it does take some. If we can all make sure we're doing out parts, if we all make sure we're doing our little bit, we'll get alot accomplished. We're all in this together, and when we combine our efforts, and our strengths, we can move mountains. We have several multiplayer comps going every week, from the Tuesday Night Showdown in #gmrg, the Thursday Night Bash in #obelisk, and the ICTE on Saturdays in #outerrim. The Tuesday comp in #gmrg runs from 2-10 PM EST, the Thursday comp in #obelisk starts at 5 PM EST (I believe), and the ICTE is always at 4 PM EST. I'll double-check on times, and email the list again to verify those.

Anyways, that's it. I know, long email. That's why I'm ending here. Anyways, let's keep up the good work, and make sure we're the ones raising the bar of excellence for the rest of the DB. You're all awesome, and you're all the ones who make this worthwhile for me. Let's rock this place, Tarentum. We can do anything we set our minds to.
