It's that time again, Tarentum. I have to say, this has been another great week. Last week, Tarentum kicked ass in the ICTE, taking the honors of top participating CLan. This week, we had another great number of participating players, and I think we might have taken top participating Clan once again. I'll be making sure that everyone who continues to participate at this level gets rewarded properly, and I'd like to thank you all for that dedication, as well.

One major announcement at this time, I'd like to take a moment to discuss. We have Jedi Trials happening in this Clan fairly often. Basically, it's a system of events designed to help teach, and inspire members to do their best, and better. Most recently, Zeno Comnenus, Commander of Hammerhead Squadron, underwent the Jedi Trials. Zeno completed them with great effort, and skill, and I'm proud to say that his House Summits, Lenzar and Oberst, myself, and Rekio have found him worthy, and announce his success.

Zeno Comnenus, no longer will you stand among your brothers as a Jedi Hunter. You have completed your tasks, and are worthy of the rights, and priviledges of a Dark Jedi Knight. We do honor to you this day, and offer our congratulations for the success you have attained this day.

As far as major competitions coming up, the Sith War is scheduled to start this week! Now, why is this important for everyone? Simply put, EVERY Order can participate. Yep. The Sith members will score more points for events they participate in, but everyone is allowed to play. I encourage you all to take part in this, and help us to gain another victory! tridens took the Sith War last time around, and with the combined talents of Tarentum now able to take part, I have no doubts that we will be victorious yet again.

Anshar still has his comp, In The Shadows, running, and has opened the run-on to everyone who would like to participate. For those who would like to stretch your writing skills, we'd love to see some excellent works there. The run-on can be found at:

What else is going on... oh, as far as school goes, although my math class is only Math 95, and doesn't count, we have 10 chapters to do, and I started Chapter 8 the other day. The semester doesn't end until April 26th, or thereabouts... so, heh. I'm stoked that I have the time to make sure it's done right, and that, afterwards, I'll only have to be at school for an hour on those days.

Lenzar has a Clan Ladder going on for XWA and XvT. He's already emailed the Yahoogroups Clan list, but if anyone hasn't yet emailed him, and still wants to be in on it, email him at [Log in to view e-mail addresses], and let him know. Also, CC Rekio and myself, [Log in to view e-mail addresses] and [Log in to view e-mail addresses], just so we know. Especially the pilots who can MP, this is a good opportunity to stay in practice, and make sure that we're keeping up on our skills. I'll be SP flying for the Sith War, and have been doing some practicing, and hopefully I can find a way to MP for the Sith War. If not, at least I'll be doing the SP missions. Anyone with the games, feel free to do the SP missions too!

Just the usual reminders, the news can always be found on the DB news page. Make sure you're checking there once in a while. The message boards are a good place for activity, and to get to know people. IRC is a great place, especially for gaming activity. #sith, #obelisk and #gmrg are good channels to look for JK/JO/JA games, as well as XWA and XvT games. If you don't have an IRC client, you can download a free one at:

You can also use the DB's java applet for free, and it's used through a web browser, at:

Anyways, I think I'll end that there for this week. Have a fun week, make sure life comes first, but spend some time with all of us. At the very least, come and get to know us. We don't bite. Well, Oberst might, but he only bites as much as you ask him to. Let's rock this place, Tarentum.
