Competitions:

The final week for Thorin's Trivia Competition is approaching. Make sure to get in on it for some Legions and Crescents!

Vladek is looking for a new creature and he's looking for it old school style. Hand draw a creature of your imagination and send it to him for some nice shinies!

The November Monthly Topic is out for fiction writters. Details can be found here: http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/competitions.asp?ID=2094

The Shadow Academy also has trivia for people on IRC. Watch for News Reports sent out on the Holonet from Headmaster Anshar.

Finally, our Consul has sent out the 3rd Edition of CNS Historical Campaign. All the details are right here: http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/competitions.asp?ID=2097

The Wolf's Den:

(WARNING: The following may be very long. For health reasons, you should bring a slurpee, a bowl of popcorn, and some cookies.)

The Rule of the Sith: If your commander is not strong enough to lead, you overthrow him and take his position. From there, you will have to deal with others who will contend for your position. Fend them off and prove who is the true leader.

People in Wal-Mart REALLY should read this and freak out. :-P. The reason I bring this up is because the management where I work at, minus one or two people, is useless. I say we take it over, make money, and capitalize on this idea. That's something that's been bugging me.

Also, I would like to inform people of the following: This is a game, an online club. Granted, it tends to create some great bonds, (props to the kick arse peeps and family Shikyo has met... you know who you are), but sometimes, things go overboard. Also, people will hit EXTREME lows all because of a game. Why? Who knows. I'm not God or Tom Cruise, so I don't know everything. All I know is this: what did you gain and what did you lose?

What have I gained? Tons of friends worldwide, the respect of many individuals who I would love to hang out with and party any day of the week with, and an excellent place to just kick back and escape the stress of real life, (at times :-P).

What have I lossed? Let me think on that..... nothing. The time I spent here taught me a few things and have helped me gain a few things, so that's no loss to me.

Sorry for the long speech and if it's too preachy, I do apologize. It's just something I've been thinking about. We joined to escape boredom and stress... no sense in messing that up. :-). Well, I'm done for today. Peace out and see ya in Margaritaville!!
