Hey all,

So this was a so-so week. I've been kind of busy myself, unfortunately, and I haven't been able to get a lot done for myself, but I hope I've gotten everything with the House taken care of that I needed to.

I'm not sure if you noticed but the battle team reform has officially gone into place. Cestus is merged into Nightstalker now with Zekk being the commander. Prophets is remaining our Krath house, and Nightstalker is now the house for Sith and Obelisks. I'm confident that this will work out for the better.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This email is the beginning of an official AWOL check. Everyone is receiving it. If you are in House Tridens and you wish to stay here and not get transfered to Rogues, just send me a short email with your ID line in it. If you want to add any additional comments, feel free. If I do not have a response to this check from you by my report two weeks from today, you will be removed from the House. Thanks.

Competitions

There's a couple writing activities out there for you guys to pursue. Sephiroth has a couple for the house and clan, and I hope to see a lot of Prophets participation in those. You will be noticed and awarded, I promise. If you need more information about these or haven't heard of them, just go to the Competitions page and look for Sephiroth's name.

I will be releasing a House-wide competition as soon as it gets approved. It's going to be short and sweet: Choose a motto for House Tridens and write a short (1 half to full page) history to support the motto. The awards will be 4th level crescents for the top 3 and the winner's motto will be used as our official motto on our roster page and any other pages we put together. I hope this is something that a lot of people will participate in. Be on the look out for the comp on the Competitions page.

We've had some great activity from newer members this week, and I'm really happy about that. Lots of people are getting well deserved promotions and medals. Keep it up! And, if you've done something that you think deserves awarding, let me know!

Promotions

Cole promoted to Novice. Congrats!

Milson promoted to Novice. Great job!

Damion promoted to Novice. Keep it up!

Keep up the good work, guys. The more you get in to it, the more fun you have, the higher you get promoted and awarded.

Awards

Zekk acrued 7 Clusters of Fire for gaming nights. Good stuff, man.

JKast got 13 Clusters of Fire for gaming nights.

Shadow Academy

First of all, I'm sure you've heard the news that we have a new Headmaster, and it's our very own Anshar Kahn Tarentae. Anshar had been the Consul of our clan for a good bit, and now he's succeeded (our also very own) Spears Tarentae as Headmaster. This also means that we needed a new Consul. It was decided long ago that Spears would take up that task, so he's on as our new head-honcho. If nothing else, this gives us even more of a reason to be active in the Shadow Academy. At the end of the month, I will be looking at SA activity on my spreadsheet and tallying up who's done tests. The top few will probably get awarded something real nice.

Zekk passed the training saber exam. Yeah, man.

Revall passed the HTML exam. Good stuff, keep it up.

Szordryn passed the ACC initiates exam. Great! Now start the fighting.

Milson passed the leadership studies exam, the AIM exam, and the ICQ exam. Excellent work, Milson.

Draven passed the Meditation and Conflict Mediation exams. Great job!

ACC Activity

I've been happy to see a good bit of ACC activity this week. We've got a strong Krath contingent in this House, and we've got other ordered members who also write well. I love seeing ACC activity. I think it's a great outlet for activity and a great experience, really. I hope that those of you who are participating keep participating and realize what you're doing is great, and I hope more people will seek to become more involved with it.

Zekk won an ACC match. Good job with that and helping out a new member!

Galaphile completed his match with Zekk. Awesome stuff. Completing is really all that matters to me.

Elric also completed a match. Great job!

Good stuff, guys. I'll be on the look out for more ACC activity.

Conclusion

So, what are you going to do now? That's right, send me your response to the AWOL check so you don't get removed from the house. Please don't reply to all to this list. Send it in an email directly to me: [Log in to view e-mail addresses] so everyone's mail doesn't get spammed with replies.

This has been a good week, and I hope to see more coming out of everyone this week, including submissions for my motto competition. Those should also be emailed directly to me. If you need any ideas about house history or how it could fit into the clan, go to the Tridens website (it's listed on the Tridens roster page) and read up on some history.

Hope to hear from you all soon!

In Darkness,

SW JKast (Sith)/QUA/Tridens of Tarentum
