Greetings Exar Kun,

Another week has passed us by and with it heralds new change, as my mid-week mini report concluded we have lost our PCON, Warhunter. We of course all wish him good fortune. Of course this has left a void to fill and we are lucky enough to have just the fellow to fill the position. Our very own Aedile, Esca. Though his time here has been brief he has an incredible amount of experience to bring to the role, he has also been PCON for Clan Exar Kun previously so I have every faith that Esca and Lucien combined will achieve great things. This of course leaves another dilema, more on that later.

Since the merger I have seen this House achieve some great things, but it's been a while and we have quite the chunky roster to show for it. So I will be conducting an AWOL check, yes thats right I want to hear from all of you, please. More on this later!

There is a whole host of interesting pieces of information to get through, so here goes!

Our new PCON has been chosen, it is one of our own and though it is sad to seem him go on to greater things we should be proud that once again this House is providing members of excellence and skill. Of course that leaves me with a little problem. I am short of an Aedile.

Normally I would meet with the Summit, bounce some names around and then make an informed decision. However this time I want to which of you want the job. So I am opening applications. To THIS HOUSE ONLY, I want one of our own to become the next Aedile.

All I want in your applications is to point out why you want the job, what your past experience or even skills are and what you hope to bring to the job. It doesn't need to be a 100 page essay or include photographs and signed testimonials.

WARNING: This job is not a walk in the park, neither is it all fun and frolics. It's hard work, demanding job. There is fun to be had, but please bare in mind it is a position of responsibility. I need regular reports (weekly) continuous competitions and a willingness to aid me and the Summit in this House's success.

There are no minimum requirements per say, but obviously I am looking for the best possibile candidate. If your interested and think your up to the challange or mad, then please email me your applications to [Log in to view e-mail addresses]

You have till Thursday 25th of August. Good luck.

It's something I hate to do and something the membership doesn't like to see, but occasionally we need to do that Spring cleaning, or in this case Summer cleaning. We have an incredible number of people on the roster and obviously it would be nice to see who's bright eyed and busy tailed and who is nibbling on a leaf, all slug like.

So how does this work? Well You have till my next report to tell me your alive. If you don't I shall try and contact you personally. If you don't respond or you don't want to remain here then I shall have you moved to the Rogue section. How do you contact me? A simple email is all I require saying who you are and whether or not your still a part of this House.

Your can email me at [Log in to view e-mail addresses]

Don't forget to respond, I wouldn't like to see anyone removed who wanted to remain here.

<span class="style9">Esca New PCON!</span>

As mentioned a little earlier on, Esca has stepped down as Aedile of this House to become PCON of the Clan. We wish him the very best of luck! Go Esca, Go Esca, Go Go Go! etc.

I have a reputation for many things, for example popular with the ladies, devlish good looks, being able to run a mile in record time and of course it's all complete nonsense. But occasionally we get dellusions of grandeur. At times likes this we should all admit what we can and can not do and move on. But sometimes I can be stubborn as a mule. An example of came in the form of dessert called Tiramisu. A lovely little number with more calaries than a belgium waffle packed with lard and ten times the cream.

Quite why I felt determined to make such a little number defies me. But watching some french chef with a name I couldn't pronounce knock it up easy as you like, struck me as the thing to do. So off I went, raiding supermarkets and other conveiniance stores for the vital incrediants! And this morning I set to work, mixing up the creme and custard, layering sponge fingers soaked in an alcohol and coffee mixture. Then topped with chocolate power. Result? Oddly a huge success!

On other fronts I finally fought my way to victory in Neverwinter Nights! It was a tough slog, involving the death of countless foolish humans, dragons, trolls and err...chickens. Don't ask. My ultimate enemy was a little too samey for my liking. Why is it, and correct me if I am wrong, big boss types spout the usual "you are going to die" or and this is a classic of mine "you are no match for me" to the more stereo typical "I'm unstoppable". Yes my final advisery had to do the whole 'I am' speech. If I could, I would have leant on my sword, yawned and bite my own toe nails rather than listen to this old garbage. Of course Knight of the Old Republic was guilty of that. The final boss in that did the same thing, and used some of those classic lines. A few brief minutes and he's dead at my feet.

Actually whilst we are on the subject of villains why do they always feel the need to doom their own plans? There has been many a situation where the main evil has had me at their mercy. They could of course kill me without a moments thought but they don't. Normally they cackle madly at their ultimate victory, tell you all their plans including dates, location and who's involved (along with complimentary brochures) and then leave you in a slightly perilous situation that you can get out of? It's happened to me no end of times in Knights of the Old Republic I & II!
