--= House News =--
Well excellent news to start off with. Four out of five of our new Apprentices have already installed and checked out IRC. Nice work you guys. Dont forget to complete your Character History and Sign up for an MB account. Details can be found on the Dark Jedi Trials. And, as youll see below, I plan on using these new message boards for a lot of information stuff. Any time I write something big and long and important in an email Ill most likely add it to the House MB for archiving and to open it up for you guys to debate over things Ive said, and offer comments and suggestions. The more feedback I get the better things will be.
The Dark Jedi Trials have been updated. Since I want to improve the quality of our membership Ive taken out the steps from Protector to Jedi Hunter and changed the format and system for Novice and Acolyte promotions. This new system is geared towards getting new members ready for all aspects of the DB and will help to ensure their success a lot better then the by holding their hand through the first five ranks. If youre an Apprentice or Novice check it out - http://www.taldryan.org/dinaari/promo.php -
Battleteams have been changed. Starting today they will become a training ground for future leaders. Members of the rank of Jedi Hunter will be placed in charge of a 5-member team for the period of 3 months. They will have to fulfill the list of objectives as Sergeants/Commanders and upon successful completion they will earn the rank of Dark Jedi Knight and the use of their lightsaber. For all that information see below under Project Updates.
Early last week Kir sent the House summits the compiled results of that survey he wrote up a while back. For the most part things look good for me anyways, but I decided to write a reply to all the points mentioned. I sent that a little while back so I hope you all read it. It had a lot of valuable information, especially for those of you who do not know me well or who are new to the House. - http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=249 -
--= House Competitions =--
Seeing as the Krath RoS is slowly coming to a close, and since Im sure everyones thoroughly sick of fiction for the time being, Ill be starting a new (easy) competition in the next week or so. No pages and pages of confusing rules and storyline. Itll be short, simple, and all about the MP. Sorry to all you non-Mpers, but we are still an MP House first and we did just pwn fiction for a month.
Other than that you can be expecting some cool Clan competition in the near future (at least I hope) I guess itll depend on the Independent Games, Sith War, and possible Obelisk RoS. Theres just too many DC run competitions.

Successfully pimped out my Taldryan Times article, just you wait its freaking awesome in my very modest opinion. Kir set the deadline for last Sunday so we should be seeing the release fairly soon. No long wait this time around.
I announced my battle team idea the other day. If you didnt read my email about it you can also find it posted here - http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=248 -
Recently Ive started gather all the information on Historical events involving House Dinaari. Im not sure why exactly I was just bored and was checking out old QUA reports. I may start a page on the website devoted to all major events in Dinaari. So far Ive got stuff going back to mid-2003. And its all good. So you might see more about that later.
--= News From Abroad =--
Holy hell theres a lot of news here this week. Jac, as is his way, just released a buttload of stuff all at once. Lets see the latest edition of the Dark Voice has been released with numerous goodies. Theyve added a new weapon medal and added to all the existing general medals to compensate for how many of them get rewarded. The GMRG has been reworked into a new structure. Now instead of being a group of crappy elite people, each Council member gets to choose 4 guards for him or herself and earn points, medals, etc based on how their guard does in competitions. I wont spell it all out here but I actually like the idea (shocking, no?) and I think it will be a really cool thing once other aspects of Rebirth start kicking in. Everyone should check out Jacs report for full details - http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.org/dbjedi/comments.asp?ID=R:6878 -
Dark Voice - http://dv.darkjedibrotherhood.com/DarkVoice_Vol1_Iss4.html -
RoS has now entered the third and final chapter. Events for it end on the 18th of February. We need to keep up the activity everyone; we cant have CNS slipping into first place. Just the thought of that could make a guy go limp.
Repeat: Theres now a second Battlefront patch for all those interested. BF has updated the server so you have to update to play. Download here - http://support.lucasarts.com/patches/Battlefront.htm -
Repeat: OMG! Finally, LucasArts releases a PC Demo for Republic Commando. Its a 400MB download but holy crap is it worth it. That game is going to kick so much ass. If you dont think your computer can run it I suggest upgrading soon. Check here for links to d/l sites - http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.org/dbjedi/comments.asp?ID=N:2636 -

Nothing much here in this report because Im pretty sure I exhausted you all with the rest of it. However, I would like to start running more mini-competitions here if you got any ideas send them on down as I cant think of anything at the moment. Hopefully Ill have some kind of epiphany soon.
PS: I think this is my longest report ever.
