**House Byss Report
**20th February 2005
To the shadows we listen
Welcome to this week's report. Sorry its a little late, my internet went down for a couple of days.
The Rite of Supremacy has finished, and unfortunately I wasn't able to send my stories off. I hope some others in the Clan could, however.
Positions No Longer Vacant
The biggest piece of news this week is the closing of Tetrarch applications. Thank you to the two who applied. The choice was a little difficult, as they both surprised me with good applications. I have chosen Braecen Isradia as my Aedile, to help me with the organsing and running of competitions for the House. I will not require a Tetrarch at the moment, and pending the results of a discussion with Chi and Mav, we might disband the battle teams altogether.
New Apprenticeship System
Speaking of competitions, its been too quiet here. I must apologise for that; I have been sorting out the new apprenticeship system. I still have a little reading to catch up on, but I've decided to disband the old system (with the exception of Bracen's apprenticeship with Mune, which I had explained to me in fine detail). At the end of the day, it relied on us having people above the rank of DJK, which currently we don't.
Our esteemed Consul, Grand Master Chi Long, published a little document for us behind-the-scenes types that lays out guidelines for promotions and the Trials of Knighthood, and with a little tweaking towards the population, I've decided to take it as the main House activity list.
Competitions will be centered around parts of these guidelines, and set at different paces to let you ease into the pool so to speak. Further details will follow, I just need to confer with Sunflash about a competition he has coming up.
Antei Combat Centre
I would like everyone ranked Novice or higher to sign up for the ACC. To do this, log in to the Brotherhood web site and create a character sheet (I don't remember if the option is named differently the first time round, but it should be under the heading Antei Combat Centre Options; probably Subscribe or Manage). The ACC is becoming an increasingly large part of the modern Brotherhood, and even if it doesn't figure in to upcoming competitions I run, it will figure in nearly every club-wide event. Plus, fun. Fun is shiny. If you have any problems, let me know.
House Channels
There is a House channel on IRC now, #Byss, though I do expect to be giving ops by whoever is there first :P It is not an official channel, and I honestly don't know why its there, but thanks to Schisy for letting me know.
Free Drinks
The following people have earned a token good for one (1) free drink at the bar:
Jonaleth for earning a Steel Cross!
Lucian and Aerick get a token good for one half drink each for both having completed the most Shadow Academy courses this week.
And anyone who was promoted. Apart from one which I requested manually, the Shadow Academy does the Career Guide promotions automatically - I notice all these shiny new ranks when I look at the roster lol.
Library
The following people have completed these Shadow Academy courses:
Korbin has completed the IRC Basics course, the Krath Core exam and the Test of Wisdom.
Zomar Kaan has completed the MSN Messenger and Dark Jedi Meditation courses.
hollowsilence has also completed the MSN Messenger course.
Lucian Do'Itek has completed the IRC Channel Operator and the Krath Run-on courses, and the Site and Obelisk Core exams.
Aerick Thane has completed the HTML Basics, PHP Programming I, IRC Basics course, and the Krath Core exam.
That is everything for this week. Hold on to your seats; now that the major club-wide competition is out of the way, we'll be gearing towards more in-House and in-Clan stuff, commencing during the course of this week.
Resistance is irrelevant. Victory is inevitable.
