Yu Report: 12/22/2004

MERLANCE's Corner

Well, tos tart off, this has been kind of a slow week for me. After finishing off the Yu comp. I've been pretty tired of gaming, though I still have played a few matches. That, and dealing with disruptive elements within the circle and Brotherhood, at least. Activity has been reasonable for the circle this last week, but not as high as two weeks ago. Once this big ol' Tarentum competition is over, I have a few plots to get things back to a high level of activity. I'll let you know more later, assuming the things are approved.

Additionally, play some JA and JO for the Tarentum competition. I sent everyone an email making a request of how much activity I would like to see in this first phase, and I think it is all very reasonable. If you are able to meet these expectations, it will reflect well on the circle as well as yourself.

Individual Activity

Cyrus went rogue and is no longer a member of the Brotherhood, or of Yu. If you see him prowling around in a DB IRC channel, ban him if you are able, and if you dont have ops, have someone who does ban him. Disruptive elements will not be tolerated.

Pyralis went on vacation to go camping. He should be back soon. Additionally, he crafted an X-Wing alliance mission for the Tarentum competition. I had the oppurtunity to test it, and everyone who is able to play the game should play this mission. I wont give any advice or spoilers, but even if you are a terrible pilot you should give it a go. additionally, he got some CF's, Scrolls of Indoctrination, a Dark Cross, and a Legion of the Scholar. A good week for him.

Vardar got a Cluster of Fire, and passed the ESET Shadow Academy exam. He also has maintained a reasonable presence on IRC. keep it up Vardar!

Yemmer's computer is still broken, and she still cant play. She has been off IRC because she was trampled by a moose and spent the last week in the hospital. She lives in Alaska, by the way (where mooses do roam).

Ma'ar Tyrius aka smoke20 has had a good week. He has maintained a heavy IRC presence as always, gotten some CF's, a Dark Cross, a Star of Antei, and has run a Krath Competition. Good work!

Shimas got some CF's, and a Dark Cross for participating in the Murder Mystery League. also, he has maintained a high IRC presence. Keep going Shimas, you are doing fine.

Nit'Chu has been online slightly less this week, but he got some Clusters of Fire and a Star of Antei for his overall high activity level. He is certainly on a good track for a promotion.

Last, but not least, is me. I got a ton of CF's in the last week, I got second place in the ICTE and the associated Sapphire Crescent.. i got two backlogged Dark Crosses and a Star of Antei. I've played a bunch of MP games, and am constantly on IRC in case you need me.

Roster: same as last week, minus Cyrus. We need to find a replacement for him, as we are merely 7 now.

Yu Challenges:

On Saturday, I had challenged the battle team Wings of Darkness of House Gladius. Only myself and smoke20 were present for that, and only Daryus of WoD shoed up.

Smoke20 played 3 matches of XwA with Daryus and lost; I misplaced the scores.

Anyhow, Wolvie of the Viper Brigade of Arcona has been dissing Yu, so there is a challenge scheduled for Sunday, January 8th. We cannot allow such slander to continue! Or maybe its libel because its all typed. Anyhow, get some practice for then.
