--= House News =--
Actually not a lot happening House-wise that I can think of. Were still dominating MP nights, Kraval and I have been playing RC MP, sometimes even against one another, and we have been collectively bitching on that random idiocy the rest of the DB seems to live by. So, yeah same old story.
Kir is back from a semi-leave (translation: hellish week of real life) and Sharad seems to have resurfaced. Hes re-starting work on his Taldryan site overhaul and has teamed up with Ben to get it done faster or better or something. Either way its good to have them both back.

Only 10 days left in the SHAFT. So far Duga has been dominating and now has earned himself a total of 5 medals. Kraval is working his way towards that SC and everyone else is plugging along. March 31 is the deadline everyone. Rest of the details can be found here - http://www.taldryan.org/dinaari/competitions.php#current2 -
The current standings are:
Chaos - 28
Kraval - 99
Duga 187 (Has been awarded a Crescent w/Topaz, Quartz and Sapphire star, has a SC coming and a SoA coming)
Michael - 10
Jive - 4
Kir 28
Locust - 3

The Greatest Warrior The SHW is running another fiction-based competition but this one is more on the lighter side. Basically he chooses the greatest warrior of each month and its our job to write about that persons goofish exploits. He explains it in better detail here - http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.org/dbjedi/comments.asp?ID=N:2715 - Sounds like fun and the warrior of the month chooses the top three for medals, and receives a DC for taking the jabs. This months warrior is none other than DGM Mav.

Well, one new project that I can think of. After having a few talks with the SHW I proposed an idea to him about getting a group of people together to develop some new styles of competition for the DB. Something aside from the regular ladders and brackets that get so boring. If youre interested in helping me out email me!
Other than that I havent really been working on any new projects. Just been in a slump lately it seems. But not to worry, Ive probably just hit my creative peak.
I submitted my rough outline of an RG competition but Im getting a lot of resistance from a lot of different people. Suffice it to say, some people dont want to try anything different and others dont agree that the RG should be running that many inter-competitions anyways as the RG is supposed to be about rewarding active members for the work they already do not making them do extra work for rewards. Its annoying but I expect annoyance from the DC, Ive based most of my career off that fact.
--= News From Abroad =--
Some very loserish people in the DB that are the big shots of the DBPA seem to think anything done in-game entitles them to huge rewards in the DB. I figure they already get stuff in-game, we dont need to be rewarding them twice but hey, thats probably just me.
The MAA returned from a weeks absence due to the flu. Kaek has been filling in so we didnt notice much of a change.
Republic Commando tournament has been postponed indefinitely until Lucas Arts releases a patch. Some of you may be pissed off but Im the one who demanded it be done. Without a patch we cant even really have dedicated servers, the whole thing would have been one big suckfest and those few people who could connect to one another would have earned a bunch of novas.
The Dark Voice was released. Check it out - http://dv.darkjedibrotherhood.com/DarkVoice_Vol1_Iss5.html - I had to write the Clan Taldryan bit, which really sucked damn Kir and being busy in real life.
Epilogue to the Krath Rite of Supremacy was recently released. www.krath.org/RoS/Epilogue.php - they seem to be setting up the next major competition. Personally, Im sick of hearing about Trev and Aranias ego-trips, and making that the basis for the last GJW, RoS and whatever the hell is happening in the future is just fucking annoying.
*--= Quaestors Corner =-- *
Nothing new from the corner. Been bored so Ive started playing KOTOR 2 again. Ill re-post what I posted last week as Id like to see everyone using these things more.
Just a few reminders here: http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/forum/index.php?showforum=38 - The Dinaari Message Board is a good place to post your ideas, suggestions and comments and its also another place where we can hang out and have conversations, albeit slightly slower ones, but it would still be nice to see some activity there. If you got any ideas on how to pick up the MB activity, email me. Maybe we can make it a competition or something.
http://www.taldryan.org/dinaari/news.php - The Dinaari Website has a lot of useful role-playing and DB information. You should be checking it every once and a while to get the latest news, or to find out what competitions are going on, or to get information on promotions, IRC, etc.
http://www.taldryan.org/dinaari/irc_guide.php - IRC is the best place to be active and get involved in the DB and Dinaari. Follow that easy step-by-step guide and youll be hanging out with us in #Taldryan and #db in no time. If you need help getting online, just let me know and Ill try to help you.
