RevengeX yawned as he looked down at his datapad filled with a bunch of messages about the Brotherhood's reconstruction and how he needs to help. 'Bah,' he thought as he went through several messages about new toilets in succession, 'I'll work on that stuff later...' His feet were falling asleep and his eyelids were getting droopy as he read a strange message that he had to decode using the old Caesar method of decryption. 'How lame,' he thought slowly, 'someone used Caesar encryption... what a newbie.' The Priest ran through a couple more messages and then got tired of looking at all of them when he had to read a few about someone's favorite Bith musical group. Putting the datapad back down onto his desk and shutting it off, Revenge yawned again and stretched his arms. He pulled out a piece of paper from a nearby stack, picked up a pen that was sitting on his desk and began to write...
BATTLE TEAM NEWS:
Nothing much has been going on with the Battle Team besides me releasing several competitions (check them out at the Competition Listing on djb.com or in the Competitions and Future Competitions sections of this report). Oh yea, just in case you guys wanted to know, I haven't received any submissions to the Drynwyn's Flame competitions, so that increases your chance of getting a medal and recognition! Also, don't worry about getting recognition medals and promotions for the GJW from the House and Clan Summits (we're working on that (I promise)). Although it's a bit later than the other Clans', we'll still get them done. Just as a reminder, the Drynwyn's Flame website (best viewed in Mozilla Firefox) is up and running! It should be fully functional, but if you spot anything funny going on, please email or PM me on IRC! Something that should also be noted is that Krath Tyro Lan has transferred to Rogues. We'll miss him. ;_;
BATTLE TEAM DIRECTION:
Last week, I talked about getting involved through ideas and suggestions toward the House and Clan Summits. Now, I think I'll tell you guys a story (note that it's purely fictional).
"There once was a samurai warrior who was said to be one of the greatest fighters of his time. He was able to defeat his mentor with a sword at the age of nine years. The warrior was deemed a rather ambitious prodigy and progressed to become a legend.
"So now, after thirty years, his skill in fighting has only increased and his physical prowess was unmatched within the king's court. But one day, he was beaten up by a bunch of common thugs who wanted to have their version of fun at night."
I wonder if any of you understood the moral behind this. The samurai warrior only fought to prove himself and to progress within the king's court. He did not realize that fighting could be implemented outside of the king's court, and so, he was able to be beaten by a bunch of common thugs. His motive for learning how to fight was incorrect. Fighting is a practical art that must be able to be adapted in every situation.
Concerning the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, everybody's motive should be to have fun. But, many people just want promotions and medals and to be "higher up" than everyone else. Remember that the main purpose for the Dark Jedi Brotherhood to exist is for people to make friends, interact with people who have similar interests (mainly Star Wars) and to have fun. Of course, if you think beating people up at night is fun, well, I think you should go see a psychologist. Especially if you receive a "schadenfreude"-like feeling.
