Once again, welcome to the fabulous ramblings of all that is me. Yep, this is my second report officially as CON, and what can I say? I keep being impressed by the talent that we have in Tarentum, and the dedication that is being shown by pretty much all of the members. I admit, I wish I heard more from everyone, and saw more of everyone, but hey, we have a great crew, and I thank all of you for the effort you continue to put forth.

As far as happenings, the Dark Voice has returned! The new Oracle, Trevarus Caerick, and assistance from the Chancellor, Fleshy, have put out a work that I consider to be truly impressive. If you all haven't seen it yet, check it out at http://www.taldryan.org/dv/index.php and I think you'll agree, that this really is something we can be proud of. Our own Tridens AED, Oberst, submitted a drink recipe that, for those of us who drinks, looks like it'd be pleasing to the tastebuds. I'd encourage everyone who has something to offer to contribute to the coming issues of the Dark Voice. As far as I know. contributors are still awarded with a Dark Side Scroll (and I'll check to verify that).

Planning still continues on the Clan Feud with Taldryan. Consul Kir katarn of Taldryan and I continue to get stuff hashed out, but the one factor slowing us down is SP missions. We're looking into certain things, but I may seek out help from Rekio and oberst, and possibly others, in regards to SP flying missions. SP missions for JO/JA might be possible, but I'm not sure about those avenues. We'll continue to check those out, and I hope for this to happen soon. In the mean time, there's always events that can keep you busy. For people desiring to game, the ICTE continues to do well every Saturday at 4 PM EST in #outerrim. If I'm figuring GMT right, that should be 9PM GMT. If someone who understands the conversion between EST and GMT better, I'd appreciate the help in verifying that. Also, Tuesday nights, in #GMRG, there's the Tuesday Night Showdown, from 2PM-10PM EST, so 7PM-3AM GMT, or there abouts. Also, on Thursday, in #obelisk, the Thursday Night Bash hosted by Shaithis. I'm not quite sure what time that starts, so I'll look into it.

The CTF league continues, and for those who are able, I would really like to see some JO participation in that. Tarentum's matches this weekend were lost in forfeit, but I realize school, Halloween, and other occurances interfere. The CTF league isn't important, but it can be fun. It's another avenue to compete, and it helps get to know the other Clans. I think a lot of the other people who play in the CTF league are good people, particularly Taldryan's team, Team NUDE, who are actually a great group of guys, and will even help people learn the games, if you catch them at times where they have spare moments.

Krath monthly topics continue, of course, for those who want to write. http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.org/dbjedi/news.asp has the details, but I'll talk to Alanna, and see if she can make it a sticky on the Krath section, which would be updated each month for the various topics. We have a lot of great writers, and not just in Gladius. I see a lot of great creaitivity from within Tridens and Cestus, so for anyone who wants to write, yep, it's not just limited to the Krath. :)

Evaluations and such for awards and promos continue, so Quaestors, Aediles and Team Leaders, if you see someone deserving promotion under your supervision, let's make sure they get what they deserve. If you can't recommend it, email a recommend to me, and I'll take care of it. Also, it's not just the Summits and Team Leaders who can do this. If anyone sees anything worthy of reward, please, feel free to email your House Leaders and myself, and we'll gladly take that and see that it gets taken care of. You can reward your fellow Clanmates, as well as your leaders, if you so choose. We can all recommend anyone we feel worthy of recognition, and even as leaders, sometimes we don't see everything. I love to reward, and I think many of our numbers are worth everything I can give.

Anyways, I've probably filled this one enough to approach too long of a read. I don't want to flood inboxes with useless junk, so I'll stop there. I continue to be impressed by all of you, and I continue to feel lucky to be able to serve all of you. This Clan is what we make of it, and I see nothing but greatness for all of us. Let's just make sure that we give it the effort it needs, and make sure we remember, this is all about friendship, and it's all in fun.

Let's rock this place, Tarentum.
