Dark Greetings Brothers and Sisters in Darkness,
I am Lord Jac Ae-Sequiera Cotelin, Grand Master Emeritus and newly appointed Emissary to the Clans. I am pleased to have the distinct privelege to serve as an advisor to the Dark Council once again and to work to better the interests of the Brotherhood alongside the leadership within the Clans.<p>I realize that there is much confusion regarding my appointment and what my duties entail. Therefore, I have decided to take a moment to clarify what I can. My primary responsibilities include the following: - Be a focal point for maintaining Clan activity

• Keep constant track of Clan activity over e-mail, IRC and message boards

• Report to the Dark Council regarding such activity

• Offer rewards and promotions to the clan summits for good service

• Help train new leadership

• Serve as a resource for Clan leadership, new and old

• Provide an open forum for ideas from the Consuls of each clan

• Give opportunity to resolve problems without involving higher authorities

• Help the Consuls speak in one voice about the problems in the Brotherhood

• Provide a Central Clan Website for resource purposes

<p>I will be addressing these issues one by one in further news postings, but for now I wanted to share this with you so that I may take questions and comments regarding them. My goal is to make the transition of these duties to me as smooth as possible. In order to do that, everyone needs to understand what is going on.
<p>A few of you have already asked about the points that I earned for my clan before my appointment. I expect that the same rules applied to CyberGuy and Shadow will be applied to me.
<p>Please, if you have any comments, questions or concerns, direct them to me at [Log in to view e-mail addresses].
<p>Truly,
His Eminence, Lord Jac Ae-Sequiera Cotelin
Emissary to the Clans
Grand Master Emeritus, Fleet Admiral
