House News
Dinaari is just rolling along now with tons of activity, medals and promotions not to mention new members who are actually alive and kicking! Not too much to say on House News thought that isn't listed below in the rest of the report. But we're doing well in the Sith War, I believe, and our starting regular practices of JO CTF for the upcoming league. We have no set times but if you hang out in #dinaari you should find us there and are welcome to join in.
I've opened up a new Brigade for the Obelisk of our house. Dark Fire Brigade is now completely filled so I think it's time to start another. Dark Infantry Brigade is Dinaari's newest battleteam and we'll be filling her up soon enough. I've already placed the non-Brigaded members in and I'll be opening up applications for Sergeant in the near future - most likely this week sometime so stay tuned. This is a good position for you newer members to start learning how to command. Dinaari has a long history of outstanding leaders, most even go onto Dark Council positions, so this is a good chance to start early. When I ask for applications I'll list requirements and the other stuff I'd like to see from the new Sergeant.
Competition Updates
Well the Sith War is still going on but we haven't had a score update since last time, but I think we've done alot better point-wise. Alot of Taldryanites are playing and winning Allegiance games (myself included... once :P) and we have a few mission designers submitting as well which is uber points. So, if you can thrust out a quick XWA, XvT or TIE mission you get 10 points just for participating! Also the SHW has released the Battle Plan information and Kir and Sharad are working on Tal's entry. This should be an easy point grabber for us cause we always pwn battle plans :P
Clan Tarentum: 136
Clan Arcona: 134
Clan Naga Sadow: 81
Clan Taldryan: 67
Clan Scholae Palatinae: 39
Clan Satal Keto: 19
Clan Exar Kun: 15
Those are still the umm "current" point standings, hasn't been updated in a while so no worries. Hopefully we'll get another update mid-week and I'll post something on the Dinaari site about. (Yes, I use the site alot - you should too.)
Sharad has brought the Tally's back to life! An old oscar-like activity where you nominate members of Taldryan for certain titles and then we all vote. The nomination phase has just ended and the first vote is upon us. You should have gotten Sharad's email about it, or his news post... or his MB post, but if not here's the info again.
All you have to do to vote is login to the Taldryan site (www.taldryan.org/login.php) and click on the "Vote for Tally's" link at the bottom of your admin functions. It's a fun activity and you should all go vote now!
The OHC and former Dinaari Quaestor, Shaithis, is working with Mav and some of our allies to put together an Inter-Club CTF tournament for both Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy. If you own either of these games and want to join a team, email Kir and list any people you'd like to have for partners. This should be a fun competition and we'll get to test our mettle against our allies and I believe the EHDB (asskicking your enemies is so much fun :P)
News from Abroad
Allegiance is growing in popularity and I'll tell you straight up it's an awesome game. Flight Sim mixed with Strategy - eliteness :P It's a small download at 50MBs, just ask Mav on IRC - he knows all about Allegiance. Aside from Allegiance's popularity, the ACC is also growing. Theres a large group of Taldryanites who love the ACC, me included, and right now we're doing crazy amounts of matches for the Sith War. If you like to write you should sign up - just ask me how!
The Combat Master, aka the guy in charge of the ACC, has decided to step down. I'm not going into all the details as to why, but if you want to know the post is still on djb.org news. The GM and DGM haven't announced that they're taking applications so I dunno what they have planned for CM. I guess we'll all find out in time.
Promotions
Some more promotions to announce this week, our newest members are doing really well and are being super active! So good work you new guys :P

Thor, not being satisfied with just one rank in a week obtained Protector for completing and passing 5 Shadow Academy courses.
Medals
Nice group of medal emails for this week. I've started to notice that it's the same people who seem to be getting rewarded, maybe a few of you other people should check out the MP nights and DB/Clan competitions. Good work to the rest of you though!
