Several important, very awesome annoucements:

Tarentum picked up some B-wings AND AT-STs for having the most participants and tying for the most points in the Allegiance Tournament. A personal thanks to all those who played, especially Demos who picked up an individual second place.

Windos got an AK for his awesome work in the Shadow Academy. Rekio got an AK as well for his tenure as Consul.

Shadow Academy: Spears is getting close to having 5,000 exams graded during his tenure as Headmaster. November 15-19 is "finals" week, which will give a special award to the person who passes the most SA exams with the highest grades. Also, a Dark Cross will go to whomever passes the 5,000th exam, as well as another Dark Cross to the person who grades the 5,000th exam. With that in mind, here's a list of Tarentum members who grade exams, and what exam they grade:

Anshar: Advanced Test of Wisdom, Leadership Applications

Sato: Test of Wisdom

Ma'ar: MSN Messenger

Ylith: Photoshop

Ciara: Grammar Studies

Frosty: Test of Endurance, Obelisk Core

Welshman: Sith Core,

If you're going to take an exam, try to take one of these. As you can see, its a mutually beneficial thing, especially if it is the 5,000th exam. I may even have missed a couple exams because the SA site isn't all that updated at the moment, at least in terms of the listed EP. They do get graded though.

Run-on has slowed down a bit, but we're also a point where we can regroup. Spears and BF have gotten involved, but are staying in the periphery for now. Don't forget- there are awards being offered, but posts have to be made before November 25 (the run-on will continue beyond that, but the actual competition part of it does not. Participation can still go towards other awards, of course). Also, I sent out an in character update. I will do that from now on with things like that; weekly reports will be the same as they are now, but anything that I can send out in character will be done so.

So, what's coming up?

Well, preparation for the Sith War is the big thing right now. You should keep gaming as much as possible, and I will be providing some clan wide fiction comps, mostly serious, but I'll probably throw in some humorous ones as well. Demos has been working on an idea that will be run as a competition that will also help strengthen the fictional basings of the clan. Also, to help demonstrate how awesome our clan is, and how deeply involved we are in the DB, I'm going to try to have an interesting Tarentum fact each week.

Interesting Tarentum fact: Tarentum members make up 30% of the EPs at the Shadow Academy, making it the largest contingent from any of the clans.

In darkness,
