Well, in my opinion, the run-on was a huge success! The level of writing was great, and participation was impressive, it was extremely hard to judge. I finally had to do a point system, giving each post a maximum of three points for creativity, continuity, and grammar respectively. With this system, the top three participants finally emerged, and separated just enough to declare a winner. So without any more ranting, here are the results:
1st Place KAP Jason Hunter
2nd Place DJK Xen`Culo Hartzirto
3rd Place DJK Doku
Congratulations to the winners, and to everyone who participated, I really wish I could give you all an award. The run-on can be found here

CP - Current Events - September 2005
As a new clan forged from two different pasts, our struggle for a individual Clan Identy has become our primary focus. As such, we need to fill our archives with interesting and historical data of Plagueis, its Houses, and its membership.
Disciples of Plagueis are asked to write a one and a half to two page (1.5-2 pgs) story of the recent events within and surrounding the Clan. This could be about any Summit changes or anything that has caught your eye. Must be an event before September 30th.
Run Dates: Sept 1st to Sept 30th

Every Tuesday and Thursday the DB sponsers an open gaming event in channel <font color="RED">#GMRG</FONT COLOR=RED> on the Undernet IRC Server. Platforms involved are JO/JA/Xvt/XWA/SWGB, etc. You earn a Cluster of Fire for every win and one for every three losses! This leads up to the Inter-Club Training Event (or ICTE for short), which is hosted every Saturday in <font color="RED">#outerrim</FONT COLOR=RED>. In this event you will play not only fellow DB'ers but gamers from other clubs! Also, by gaming in any of these functions, you will qualify to participate in the bi-weekly Sunday Tournament! Check out the website located here

You might often hear of it referred to as the 'ACC' for short. This is where members can participate in 'combat writing', it is a place to utilize a Character Sheet and not only role-play, but sharpen your writing skills into precise accurate slices. It is often graded on, not who lives/dies, but ingenuity, continuity, grammar and realism!
The September Jamboree is still going - ACCLive! games can be played Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. We have no misgivings about the level of participation, 1)Live! has found a home in a niche of a few members who enjoy it, it's not everyone's thing 2) There is an RoS going on, duh :P and 3) The staff is also immersed in their own activities apart from the Centre, so availability of a Judge is pretty random.

Known as the 'SA' for short, this is the place of learning within the Dark Brotherhood. In truth, every member could learn something there. However, it is often used to teach Apprentice, Novice, and Acolyte ranks about the DB! It is the quickest way to reach the rank of Protector and begin your Trials to Knighthood!
Both the House and Clan websites have a section for Member Archives, used to display the various works from our members, for everyone to see. The Clan archives are down at the moment, but the House archives are being compiled as we speak. Anyone can submit works, of fiction or graphics, at any time. If anyone has work they would like to see placed in the archives, please send them to me or Arso, and well make sure to get them in there. Please send all submissions with the subject Archive Submission[Your name here]

IRC activity is required for advancement within the House and Clan, so naturally I STRONGLY encourage everyone to join us in channel <font color="RED">#plagueis</FONT COLOR=RED>.

So if youre not already familiar with IRC, be sure to go here
Come join us and slap someone around with the trout for a bit!
Thats all for this week. If I missed anything, or if anyone has any questions, concerns, or comments, please contact me either by email at
