Another awesome week of promotions, awards and general activity! And as we continue to achieve our greater goals, we should always be mindful that there is much more that can be done to make things even better.
The DB-wide Se7en Day War has officially started! Lots of luck and success to DJM Corran Force, DJK Kromtal Stormfyld, DJK Traggisk Dith, and PRT Ky Terrak, all of whom will be representing Plagueis, as well as themselves, in this glorious war! Leave no survivors boys!!!
An epic Clan Run-on is coming soon. The final details are being worked out, and as soon as its ready for release the CON will make the official announcement. Get your writing utensils ready because this is going to be one whopper of a Run-on!
A reminder to all House Summits and Envoys, your reports are due out at specified times each week, please make sure to get them out by that time, unless you have been OK'd to release it late.
Congratulations to DJK Siyavash Kaida on her recent selection and appointment as the new Knight Commander of the Dark Brotherhood!
Congratulations equally to our own DJK Kromtal Stormfyld on his recent selection as the new Praetor to the Headmaster! The Headmaster reports that now that the SA Staff situation has been resolved he is now once again accepting new course proposals. Go get 'em guys!! hehehe
I FINALLY scored a copy of Jedi Academy on Saturday, so I've been working on learning the games tricks and abilities. My thanks to Schisca for his guidance and help in learning how to play the game, and in assisting with the MP side of it as well. His instruction has proven most useful. Once I'm comfortable with the games characteristics be on the lookout for the PCON to join the ranks of the JA warriors in Clan Plagueis! :)
Once again a reminder about using your DB ID Line in all official emails and communications. Somehow this keeps being told, but not adhered to. Make life easy on yourself, go add a signature to your Outlook or other preferred mail program. You can select to auto-insert it, or add it manually if you prefer. But it keeps you from having to worry about copy/pasting it into your emails directly.
Speaking of copy/pasting, a new SA-wide policy went into effect this week that everyone needs to remmeber for the future. The Headmaster has decreed that EPs may now begin deducting points for copy/pasting answers directly from the course notes. I agree with this policy, since no one learns anything just by searching the notes for the answer and then copying the answer into the block on the answer sheet. Putting the answer into your own words, and adding any additional thoughts you may have, is the surest way to ensure you know the subject material. What's the point of taking the courses if your not striving to learn something. :P
The announcement who will be the new HSK Envoy should be made some time today! Once the Clan Summit and Envoy have had the opportunity to review and approve the HSK Summits' selection then the official announcement will be made.
The end of the month will soon arrive, and that means that the monthly awards for the most active members at the Shadow Academy and the ACC will be handed out! Its not to late to get busy and increase your chances for winning a new award! And remember, these competitions start over at the beginning of each new month, so there will be many more exciting chances to win!!!
A new HSK Competition is underway! If you missed the announcement from the House Summit, then check out Competition #3 in the "Competitions" section further down in this report!
Week 5 of the Plagueis Caption Competition is underway! Congrats to the winners in Week 4. I am however still disappointed that only a handful of people are participating. Its an easy competition, and you never know, you may have one of the best entries! Go check out the new image each week on the Clan MB and send in your phrase/caption for that image. Can't ask for it to be much easier than that. ;)
It is apparent from some recent comments I've heard that there are people, not just new Apprentices, that are NOT reading the reports and emails that are sent out each week. Sadly that's to their own detriment, but its even more sad when a member comes into the Clan channel and asks about something that was just sent out in an email a day before. Don't be so hasty in deleting those emails folks, there is often useful and needy information in those emails and reports. :P
There are presently 22 Apprentices in this Clan, some of whom have been at that intro rank for quite a while now. Envoys and House Summits are encouraged to increase their communication with these folks. Apprentices are encouraged to begin doing the activities needed to be promoted to Novice (NOV). The requirements are simple, just complete ONE of the four tasks listed. One of those tasks can be completed in just minutes, the others will take just a wee bit longer, but are equally simple. The promotion requirements can be found at (http://plagueis.darkjedibrotherhood.com/promotion.php?rank=preDJK), so go check them out. There is really no reason for us to have so many Apprentice rank members on our roster. Joining a club means you want to be a part of that club, likewise joining a Clan and House. Your leaders and fellow members are here to guide you, but you have to make the effort to do what is necessary to accomplish the goals.
If your a PRT, GRD or JH and have not yet joined the Clan Master/Student Program; what are you waiting for?!? Contact your House Envoy today about joining and paired with one of our highly trained and knowledgeable Masters! Your progression, training and knowledge of the Dark Side and the Dark Brotherhood will increase greatly, as will your opportunities for future advancement, in both rank and position! Again, contact your House Envoy for more information!
If your an APP, NOV or ACO and believe you have completed the required tasks for a promotion and have somehow not yet been promoted, please contact your House Envoy or House Summit to inform them of this oversight. They will happily and quickly remedy the situation. We have no wish to see anyone left behind. Our gual is to fill this Clan with as many Knights and Equites as we can. Eventually who knows, we may have a Clan full of Elders as well. The goal to achieving that is to ensure that the members AND the House Summits keep on top of elevating people as soon as they are eligible. ;)
A reminder that the editors of the Plagueis Chronicle are seeking submissions for the March edition. Please submit your entries by March 30th to ([Log in to view e-mail addresses])!

- Title: [BT KV] Smart Clones Run-On
Specifics:
Just before the Clone Wars, a cloning facility not affiliated with Kamino
also received a call requesting mass production of clones from Jango Fett.
The clones did not do as well, with only about 50% making it out of the
test tubes and half of the survivors being fit for combat. The other half
had problems, either mentally or physically (too weak, mentally inept,
etc.). A very small number were too intelligent, and a handful of them
managed to escape from the cloning facility. They came back a few years
later and took control of the facility. However, one of the facility's
original managers flooded the facility with a process similar to what Hanv Solo was carbonized in. All of the clones, the defects, the normal
clones, and the super-intelligent ones, along with a small number of the
management's faculty, were trapped in space and time.
The facility, located on a remote moon in and out-of-the-way solar system,
was discovered by a Sith on the way back from an assignment, and Keto's
Vengeance has been given the honor of securing the facility. It willv serve as a good testing ground, to root out the weak, and will also add a
small base to CP/HSK. At the very least, the power generators (and other
valuable items) from the facility can be removed to the HSK capital
planet.
The run-on will start 10 days from now, will end in one months, and will
be in the HSK forums, untill I get the team forums set up.
Start Date: 3/19/2006
End Date: 4/19/2006

- Title: The Dawning of War A HSK Run-on
I've posted the first post of the new house run-on here:
http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=2411.
I look forward to seeing the creativity that you guys have and where
you take this story. Kromtal and I will be making sure that things
basically stay on track, but monitor yourself and make sure you stay
on course with what everyone else is writing.
I plan on letting this run until it comes to an end, so it's up to you
guys how long this lasts. At the end I will be awarding the top three
members who overall make the best contributions to the run-on. They
will receive Crescents for their hard work. Also, we're gonna pick
out the best individual post overall. This person will receive
something, but I'm not quite sure yet what that will be.
I hope this is fun and if you have questions let me know. Oh, the
first few posts might be a little short until we see who's all on
board and then I'll give my orders, which will speed things up. Just
thought you guys should know that.

I have an Open-Door policy, so people are welcome to see me at any time about anything. If its a House matter, I do ask that you take it up with the House Summit first, then if that doesn't resolve your problem, feel free bring it to my attention. If your problem is with the House Summit in general, and by that I mean both the QUA and AED, then by all means come to me immediately, as well as the Consul, and we'll help resolve the problem ASAP.
