Quaestor Report
Greetings Kunians!
Well this is it, the last Godo TM Report! I am absolutely shattered, exhausted and no its not my QUA duties but instead a late night party for my mother in laws 60th Birthday. Needless to say the inlaws got totally hammered leaving me to act chauffeur. So, with bleary, blood shot eyes I write.
To be perfectly honest I dont know what sort of Quaestor I have been. Fair? Harsh? Agressive? Well I leave that to you guys and gals to decide but despite my contempt for the whole leadership thing I have dare I say it? Enjoyed serving as your Quaestor. The reason my terms has gone so smoothly and the reason why this House continues to grow and succeed is because of you the members. So from black force infused heart I thank you all.
Of course I wont be leaving the Clan, though I will be easing off on my work schedule in the DB for a bit I will still be an active and loyal participant in this House. Oh and by the way thank you all for your words of support and the other 'offers' I have received. Though you can take the God(o) out of Plagueis you can't take the Plagueis out of God(o)...or something like that, anyway on to the report!
Well with Gaidals rise to power as your Quaestor this has left a rather large wormhole in the command structure. I just happen to know we have recieved some good applications. The leadership in this House and indeed Clan will be discussing the hopefuls to come up with a new replacement. I fully anticipate a new appointment with the week, so good luck to all of you who applied for the role.

I suggest you all read the descriptions very carefully before entering. As well as fiction, graphical competitions there also gaming contests that you can take part in. They support a wide range of different platforms, anything from Xwings Alliance to Jedi Acadamy. Your all free to take part and its an excellent opportunity earn something called a Cluster of Fire, a special medal for MP (multiplayer events) I believe you earn one if you get either three losses or one win. For more information take a look at the ICTE web site: http://icte.starwarsalliance.com/
Finally there is something called the ACC, the Antei Combat Centre. In short it's a form of combat where each player takes it in turn to write what happens next in the fight between you and your opponent. A judge determines who wins based on the writing and on your character sheet. You can create a character sheet through the Dark Brotherhood web site, but full information can be viewed here: http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/acc/
*Title: [CP {Kun's Requiem}] Word search! *
Requested By:
Specifics:
I think that one of the easiest competitions to do is a word search. So, I will be releasing one word search a week for an entire month! Here's how it works: I release a sentance or Phrase. You find as many possible words from the available letters in the phrase. Each word is worth one point. Words that are Star Wars Related are worth 2 points. The person with the most points for each word search is the winner. The more words you find...the more points you get! With that here is the first one! "A new home is in order, let us depart!" find those words!

*Title: Forced Alliance *
Requested By:
Specifics:
Telona has challenged the members of the DB to find a rare lightsaber crystal she has hidden in the Underground Caverns. The only big catch is you must team up with another member in order to survive. The other catch is this will all take place in the Antei Combat Center so Telona can control the conditions. Expect her madness to shine through the obstacles ahead. Members will only have a short amount of time to find the crystal. Instructions! To participate in this event you must have a valid character sheet. No need to be a Seeker. Challenge your friend to fight in 'The KHP's Armed Hostilities' hall. If you do not challenge someone in this particular hall your battle will not count! You won't be allowed any weapons besides your own fists, wits, and the Force. Battles will be 4+2 so make them count! The best teams will win first and second place. You may only have one battle to try for placement. Your win/loss count will not change by participating. Challenges will start on the 1st and continue until the 20th. Battles must be completed by the 31st to be considered. There won't be any time limit on posts to allow for more thought out posts. Battles will be judged on continuity, creativity, team effort, and language. Deathposts will be a joint ending instead of separate endings. Above all, have fun.

Thus far the Code has proven impossible to break and the Elders have decided to release it to the Clan in an attempt to find someone with the ability to solve it. DJM Sarin has discovered that the first code leads to a holonet portal. He believes that the holonet portal will be the first of many clues for Clan Plagueis as they attempt to solve the mysteries of Darth Plagueis the Wise.

Title: [CP HEK] 'Losing Elysian'
Requested By:
[DJK Gaidal Dupar al'Tor ](http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/dossier.asp?ID=4910)
Specifics:
While all members of House Exar Kun are preparing themselves to evacuate Elysian, the ‘Crimson Tide’ strikes back! Due to the charging supernova nearby, all personnel and Dark Jedi are on a tight time schedule and were not aware of the upcoming threat. Fact is that the pirates are not alone this time. Captain Calliban Crimson made an usual alliance with three sinister men, all with their own little private army and all with their own agenda’s.
The available sensors and scanners were off, because personnel were already packing all equipment. They attacked by full surprise. Not just a mere Dreadnaught appears out of the blue, but an Imperial Star Destroyer named ‘Nemesis’ is seen above Elysian this time. It is unknown for now what will happen next and what will be their plan of action. There are rumours about the identities of the allies of Crimson, who joined his ‘Pact of Accarr’.
The House stand for the impossible job to secure that all personnel, younglings and Dark Jedi make it off Elysian, while the orders from the Clan Summit are simple and clear. Make sure that to the ‘Crimson Tide’ no delays are accepted and that they should never have bothered Clan Plagueis.
Start Date: 1/14/2006
End Date: 2/4/2006
Unit in Competition: House Exar Kun
Platforms: fiction, run-on
Awards: 4th level Crescents
Comments:
This is an important run-on competition which will guide our House from Elysian to our new home world. Therefore we (Godo & Gaidal) came up with a specific set of rules in this case:
This is a run-on competition that will last for three weeks. This is a competition ONLY for HEK members. There is no sign up for the members and one may post as much as one wants.
When you post it has to be around one page long, like in Word with size 10 Times New Roman. It may never be less than half a page or more than two pages.
There is one main storyline, keep that in mind all the time! Additional storylines are always interesting, but only when they fit in the story and support the main story. Try to keep such side plots as limited as possible, because the main story line is very important and delicate. In case they do not, the post will be edited. Godo and I will always have to authorisation to edit posts, if necessary at all times.
There are four most wanted criminals involved in this alliance. Please read their character sheets if you wish to use them in a particular scene. DO NOT make assumptions too fast, because in the end we (Godo & Gaidal) decide whether or not a villain dies. What we would like to see is that the participants try to use these villains and give them more depth. To try and make more out of them than mere fictional characters (NPC’s) to fill a story with a bad guy.
Godo & Gaidal will post every now and then to fill the gaps in the story and lead you through the main plot. In order to easily write in this competition it is advised to read the run-on competitions ‘Crimson Tide’, ‘Return to Eden’& ‘Elysian Expedition’. It is also advised to read the profiles of the criminals in the ‘Most Wanted List’ on the forum.
Remember that you are writing this story together, DO NOT cause anything horrible to a colleague writer of yours, when this person does not approve such action. Discuss this with one another to avoid problems in the competition.
There are three medals that can be earned for a good writer, a better writer and the best writer. Godo and I will judge the posts together and will decide who deserves these medals. There are four major requirements: language, style, grammar & plot development. Every writer will be judged based on these requirements. We will also look at how often a participant came up with posts. In the end, one will be judged based on these two things.

*Title: {Plagueis [BT ES] } Unwelcome Guests *
Requested By:
Specifics: While House Exar Kun moves to its new planet many of the house's members are living in orbiting ships. One small ship built for twenty is the current home of Battle Team Exar's Shadow, and Commander Aabsdu Dupar spends as much time as he can with his battle team helping them practice, joining them in meditation, or letting the younger ones fly the ship around a bit.
Many of the older members travel to the larger ships to talk with friends, but Aabsdu stays on their small ship, the Excavator, unless he is in a leaders meeting.
The house was doing fine as the prepare their new home until the radar picked up a small group of ten fighters just out of range of weapons or scanners. Godo Nurok and Gaidal Dupar decided it was easiest to send a battle team to discover what the small group was doing in the region, and they chose Exar's Shadow.
You are to write a fiction story (at least one page) of how we together or you alone travel to discover the secret of the ten unwelcomed guests. It's up to you on rather they're enemies, locals, or something else. Use your imagination, I love a good twist.

Yeah I know, super short report this time round, but it's been a long day and I don't really think it's necessary creating anything beyond the normal for the sake of it. There are too many to thank, you've all been great. We have some excellent potentials coming through the command chain, past and indeed present. So I wish you all the very best for the future just remember that this place should be for fun and that RL should and must always come first!
Let me be brief and congratulate Gaidal on his appointment, you've served me well and with unfaultering loyality, however I would not appoint you for that. No offense but you could be the most loyal man in the world and still drop the ball. He and I have worked very closely over the months and he has a proven track record. I hope you all serve his as you did me and give him the opportunity to show his stuff. I believe his first report will be due out in a fortnight, though I am sure he will correct me if I am wrong :P
One last thing, I will continue to serve this Clan and of course I shall continue with the Plagueis Chronicle. Right, I am done now. Mister Sarin, if you would be so kind to axe me from the job? Many thanks.
Your Servant,
Godo Nurok
