Prophecy Phyle Report #1 for 06-23-2004

<bows>

And here we go, my first report in a long, long time. :)

I'd like to thank our leaders for granting me the honor of being appointed the new Tetrarch of Prophecy. I intend to take advantage of this welcome opportunity to its fullest... everyone knows I'm not a particularly sane person, well... you just watch. Bwahahahahaahahahah >:P

Anyways, on to business. ;)

-NEWS-

Not much going on in the Brotherhood, as everyone waits for the mailing lists and the DB domain to be fixed, the last submissions of Chapter 1 to be graded and the beginning of Chapter 2. For the next few days, people should point their browsers to www.darkjedibrotherhood.ORG to access the site.

We had some major changes in the House and Clan leading body, which I already covered in my introductory email. Cyris is our new ProConsul, Vassah our new Quaestor, Arcturus the new Aedile and Dhak the new TET of Dark Orb. Congratulations everyone! :)

Everybody please welcome my dear Jedi Hunter Isalka Tyoun Xyler and my old friend Strategos Thanatos Entar to the Phyle! It is a joy to have you both with us! :))

Something that shouldn't be reminded, but check your computers for viruses, my friends. It seems there's an outbreak of Netsky.D going on, check www.symantec.com for info and ways to stay clean.

-PROMOTIONS/AWARDS-

No promotions or awards this week, as far as I know. Contact me if I missed anything. :)

I'd like to thank Kandos Katarn for his submission on Chapter 1 of the Great Jedi War and Kraith Dakiel Xyler for taking part on the Run On. It was pretty much all the activity from Prophecy during the first Chapter, thank you guys for stepping up and making an effort!

-PHYLE ACTIVITY-

Just some general chat at the moment, in which topics such as torture, blackmail, forbidden footages, conversation logs and flying pans are discussed... the usual stuff. :)

-GOALS/PLANS-

Like I promised you, most of our activities and competitions once the Great Jedi War is over will be focused towards rebuilding our Phyle. This is because it's common knowledge among the summit that there's some serious lack of sense of identity going on, not just in a House level. It's really simple to notice it: what differs Dark Orb from Prophecy, besides their names? Are they both just names on a roster with some Tyros attached to them? What about the Clan, what does it mean to be an Arconan? These answers aren't easy to come by, because of this lack of identity. Project Legacy will take care of Clan and, I believe, House histories, but the Phyles need it just as badly. The promotion of this rebuilding effort inside Prophecy will be my main focus as Tetrarch.

Enough blah blah blah then. How are we going to do it?

grins

First of all, we'll be doing it together. It'd be pretty easy for me to just sit and do it all by myself, it'd be quick and shiny and mean nothing. It'll be far more interesting if we all take part in this, sharing ideas and bashing our brains against the keyboard together. Like I said, parts of the rebuild will be done as competitions, other parts won't. For the non-comp parts I'll create the PC (Prophets Circle), which is basically a discussion group made of those members of Prophecy who want to discuss (doh!) and give input to the more substabtial parts of the rebuild, such as writing our Phyle History;

New Phyle Motto: we'll have this changed, so it better reflects the nature of our Phyle. It will be the subject of a Phyle Competition;

Phyle Mailing list: we'll have a list created. No, it doesn't mean more spam in your inbox, it only means it's easier for me to send the spam to you, and easier for you to do it back; :P

New Phyle Website: I've already started designing a new website for us. Here we'll put all the fancy stuff we create during the course of the rebuild;

The Big Three: these are the questions we'll be trying to answer with the make-up. "Who are we? What do we do? How do we do it?"

These goals will be present on all my reports, and they'll have a part dedicated to them in the website.

Once we have these accomplished, I trust we'll have a better understanding of our places in this organization, which will extend the fun the Brotherhood promotes to its fullest. :P

Regarding competitions, rest assured we'll do a lot more than just write some 2 page ficion over a random topic every month, but I'd rather leave you all in the dark for now... I won't spoil the surprise. :P

-CLOSING COMMENTS-

I'm still to hear from some of you, Prophets. Please get in touch as soon as possible, Chapter 2 is about to start and I'd like to know what's going on with everybody. :)

Thank you all who approached me with kind words regarding the recent appointment, I really apreciate it. :)
