House Qel-Droma of Arcona Report 7/16/2004

We hold the shadows in our souls

Greetings, all.

This week has seen both extraordinary and disturbing events as the Great Jedi War progresses. Firstly, the alliance between Arcona and Taldryan is serving us well. Our success rate on all fronts is at a high (but of course, can and will go higher). I expect to see each and every one of you do your part in defending our interests from the teeming hoards of rivals that are attempting to batter down our gates. We will not be swayed.

But it is also a time of uncertainty. Both Consul Entar and Proconsul Oscura have found themselves out of contact with the Clan. Many of the negotiations and discussions with the notables in the brotherhood have fallen upon me, it seems. I will attempt to serve the best interests of Clan Arcona in all of these activities, but I require your efforts towards triumph to back up any words of assurance, or threat, I may use.

Look to your Tetrarchs in this time of war for guidance as to how your efforts might best be utilized.

OOC: At the moment Arcona sits at 58 submissions for Chapter 2, though individual MP event totals are not yet tallied. Regardless, this is 30 submissions less than our final total for Chapter 1. I urge everyone who has spare time to at least submit to the GFX and Poetry events. The requirements for these two events are fairly minor, and every submission gains us an advantage over our rivals.

I have begun drafts of both writing events, submitted to the poetry event, currently have 3 ACC battles initiated, and have written for the run-on. The run-on needs 3 additional posts to complete the minimum requirement for that event! If you have not yet done so, write an entry.

And again, I am offering my services as proofreader/editor for any/all written submissions you may have that you would like given a second look before entry.

In darkness thrive,

Dark Orb Report

17/7

Sorry for the late report, I usually do them Thursday mornings, but had

a job interview this week. I have the third round of NAS (karate tournaments) on Sunday, and have been trained extra hard for them. Plus, a few new kids have joined the karate club, and I've had to teach them one on one - and let me just say, ouch! 3 1/2 hours of straight

training is wearing me down.

On to business...

The second chapter of the Great Jedi War is in full swing. There are a

couple of story competitions which could score us some quality points, but most of the work involves the multiplayer competitions. I have a couple of ACC matches running around already, I hope that you all have a bunch of your own? If not, find someone from any Clan except Taldryan and challenge them. Good luck.

A new event has also opened, and people have jumped all over it already. It is a poetry event, titled Vitriol. Orders can be found at the GJW site

(http://gjw.darkjedibrotherhood.com/chaptertwoOrders.asp). Interesting

topic, pity I can't write poetry to save my life :\

On a final GJW note, don't forget the graphics portion! Any basic

scribble in the simplest paint program (and Windows comes with one,

Start->Accessories->Paint) will be counted. Easy participation points, people. We sweeped them up with these last round, and we can do it again.

I still intend to run Phyle Monthly Topics from August. The GJW will

certainly get in the way of it, but I'll only tolerate so much interference before I push ahead regardless. I'll still accomodate the GJW as the priority competition that it is, but hopefully it will

end soon :P

Project Legacy is currently on hold, amidst all the GJW and karate and

job seeking I haven't had time to continue it. I'll be correcting that after the tournament by posting some of the completed run-ons I have.

That is all from my desk this week. I'll have this on time next week :P

Remember folks, information is the greatest currency in the world, but late information helps no one.

Prophecy Phyle Report #04 for 07-13-2004

<bows>

Eyas eyas eyas!

This was a more productive week! =)

A very good writer comes back to activity! The Run On proceeds at a slow but steady pace. Im VERY PROUD to be in Prophecy, as almost everyone in the Phyle is showing commitment and work in the Second Chapter of the War! Out of a total of 9 members within the Phyle, we got 7 signed up just for the ACC, which is excellent! Almost everyone has at least two ACC matches going, which is most excellent! We already got two graphics submissions and one fiction submission, and therell be more coming this week from what Ive been told! Compared to Chapter One we got an increase of 77.77% regarding activity! VERY PROUD INDEED! =))

From my part, I thought that keeping just two ACC battles until I had my fictions done would be smart, otherwise I wouldnt be able to focus properly on everything. But my opponents are taking so long to post in the battles bah! I think Ill have my fictions written within four or five days anyway, then Ill jump into a few more matches. ^.^

It is looking very good, but we need to keep it up, or better, go even higher! Were up against the allied strength of five other Clans, after all! Awesome, isnt it? =P

-NEWS-

THE GREAT JEDI WAR MOVES ON! CHAPTER 2 IS UP! Until its done, nothing DBish else really matters! As it stands, were ALLIED with Taldryan, and AT WAR with everyone else. So if you see some shady character walking down the street and he doesnt wear the Arconan or Taldryanite colors, youre free to target him! Target him for a beating in the ACC or other MP, but keep things civilized over IRC, eh? Were mean but we got manners! Also, there is one more writing event, a poetry one! =P

Welcome back Krath Epis Xizor! Ok, you never really left the roster, but welcome back to active duty! =)

According to Jac, Clan Powers CAN BE USED in the Run Ons and fictions, as long as they are not decisive and uber-powerful. They can be used for dramatic purposes, but not to turn the tides in the battlefield! Very, very cool, this can add some color to our stories! =)

-GOALS/PLANS-

Rebuilding Prophecy so it has a meaning, an identity, will be my main focus as Tetrarch. How are we going to do it?

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: up and running [Log in to view e-mail addresses]. Im pondering if we should keep this, individual mails has its advantages.

New Phyle Website: it is online. Some parts still look blank because theyll be used to store what we create during the rebuilding.

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?"

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
