RevengeX peered outside of his office door cautiously. He had heard a series of loud bangs and the disturbance had forced him to take his eyes off the report he was reading. "Will you please shut up?" yelled the Quaestor to anything that may have been standing outside in the corridor. The Archpriest's head retreated from the corridor and he slammed the office door. 'Such vexatious people...' Revenge returned to his desk and finished the report that he had been reading. His eyes wandered for a moment and he gazed at several lists of House members and a giant spreadsheet that detailed every bit of activity each member had done in the past two or so weeks. 'Gah, I need to finish recording activity,' thought the Quaestor, and he slid the spreadsheet over so that it laid directly in front of him. He powered on his datapad and sifted through hundreds of records, messages, and memos. It took him quite a while and he realized he had to finish up a report for the House as well. 'Gah, I need to finish writing this report.' Revenge pushed the spreadsheet and datapad out of the way to the left while reaching over and placing the unfinished report in front of him. 'Hmmm... still needs a lot of filling in.' He picked up his pen, adjusted the paper, and began to write...
INTRODUCTION:
War is upon us! Sharpen those blades, charge those blasters, and get ready to rumble! Our Clan Feud with Arcona will last about two weeks and this Feud is to get us pumped up for the upcoming RoS and GJW which will lead to the way others view our Clan! It is imperative that we squash Arcona and then while we're all hyped up on adrenaline, we crush the other Clans in the RoS which will lead to a much better start for the GJW! Each Clan's performance in the RoS is transferred over to each Clan's original GJW starting rank.
EVERY ENTRY COUNTS! Our Clan receives participation points, so even if you think your entry is horrible and it's the last day of the competition, fix it up as best you can and then submit! Any entry is better than no entry. Remember that for the duration of this Feud!
CLAN NEWS:
HAD's Lucien Peregrinus has resigned from his position of Clan Envoy and applications are being accepted until February 4th. The DJB is also participating in the ORW3 (Outer Rim War 3), a huge inter-club gaming event that is much larger than the Inter-Club Training Event (ICTE)! Members from several clubs will be participating including the Rebel Squadrons, Star Vipers, Galactic Empire Reborn, the Vast Empire and the Emperor's Hammer. It will start on February 3rd. More information about the ORW3 can be found at http://www.orw3.net. I want to see huge amounts of participation from HAD, and the DJB is offering the much coveted first-level Crescents to those who represent the Brotherhood best (you'll definitely see me there)! The Clan's history has been updated extensively and is now posted in two different places, CSP's DJBWiki page and the CSP Site under Holocron > Clan History: http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/wiki/index.php?title=Clan_Scholae_Palatinae or http://www.scholaepalatinae.darkjedibrotherhood.com/history.php. The last Sunday Invitational Tournament (commonly abbreviated as SIT) continued CSP's domination in those events and I'm very proud of those who participated. The Consul has also requested that all NON-SUMMIT projects be put on hold so that we can concentrate on the war effort.
HOUSE NEWS:
Our projects are moving along steadily and I have checked in with the Antenora group and their progress so far is excellent. For those who don't know, the team members of the Antenora project are Laurus, Ood Bnar Sythe'rae, and Impetus. Please thank these members for their contributions to the House when you can. If you have been listening to our Consul recently, the Dark Paladin has been moved to quarterly (four times a year) and instead there are now House Members of the Month for each House. Now, I wish to congratulate our first Members of the Month
Impetus and Gavan!
They have both earned the title this time! Impetus and Gavan have accumulated a crazy number of CFs. Impetus has earned a couple other medals as well and Gavan has been helping with the Player's Association a lot. For their continued excellence and contributions to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, I induct both of these fine members into the honorary Dragon Guard. Congratulations! :D
HOUSE DIRECTION:
What time is it? It's wartime! Yes, these next several months will be filled with major competitions and vendettas. It is imperative we pwn these nubcakes in all of the vendettas: the Arcona vs. CSP Feud, the Rite of Supremacy, and the Great Jedi War. We are, undoubtedly, the best House in the Brotherhood. People who tell you otherwise are foo's! They don't know shizzat about what we can do. I know each member of this House is capable of taking down (with eyes closed, one hand tied behind the back and while rubbing the head and patting the stomach with only one hand) two of every other member out there. We are the best. We are the champions. <!Begin lame Freddie Mercury impression here --> <!End lame Freddie Mercury impression here before someone gets hurt -->
But, with all due seriousness, we have some of the most active people in the Brotherhood. We have contributing, thoughtful members and we have innovation and inspiration on our side. We have humorous, creative members and we eat nubcakes like Arcona for breakfast! (Yum, yum, nubcakes! :D) We are able to win. We are able to succeed. We are able to rock those n00bs up on high. Guaranteed. (If you are not satisfied with this product, 50% of your original buy-in price will be refunded if you contact Customer Services within 30 days of your original purchase. Refunds are not guaranteed at all. Thank you and have a nice day. BEEP If you wish to listen to this message again, press one. If you are done listening to this message and would like to hang-up, press two. If you don't understand, press three. If you do understand, but want to pretend that you don't understand, even though you do understand, but want to feel like you don't understand because your work is underappreciated and you were always discouraged as a child, press nine. BEEP Thank you, and have a nice day.)
ahem
Even though we may not have as many skilled participants in events that revolve around things like gaming, we can still win if we have more entries and more participants. C'mon, HAD, let's rock 'n' roll!
HOUSE PROJECTS:
Post your ideas on the thread in the House forum, http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=3614 , or send an email my way. I'll consider all your suggestions and respond to you ASAP.
-Expanding the House's Fictional History
-Antenora: In-Depth ( http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/wiki/index.php?title=Antenora)
-Fictional Backdrop
-House Descriptions Development
I'm looking for volunteers to help me now! When I get two or three volunteers together, I'll send the rough draft to each of them and the volunteers will work together to add details. There's not much to build off, so I'm looking for members with creativity! If you want to help, please email me privately with your DJB name and PIN. The volunteers will be in charge of the project, but I'm always willing to help, if needed. When I have enough volunteers, I will send an email to the House saying that I have enough volunteers and that no more are needed unless the work load becomes too large for the current volunteers and I need more slav-err-helpers. :)
-House Website
I think Rhaub still needs some PHP coders to help with this, so if you know PHP, get in contact with him. If the work's good, I'll be sure to discuss your rewards. ;)
-HAD Review
This is an old project that was unfortunately abandoned, when Timbal resigned from Quaestor of Acclivis Draco, that was all about interviews with Summit (House and Clan) members. Rhaub and I hope to bring this back so that we can add to our historical archives. To be able to get a feel of what this is, go to http://www.members.aol.com/acclivisdraco/ and click on "Interviews" in the right-hand navigation menu. The first of these interviews has been sent over the Clan mailing list, it is an interview with Consul Braecen Kunar.
FUTURE PROJECTS:
None in the queue. Please tell me your ideas either on the forum thread or via email. I check my email a lot, so if you don't receive a response from me within 24 hours, pester me on IRC or resend the email.
QUAESTOR'S CHALLENGE:
Challenge #2: Involvement = t3h r0xx0rz
This time the Quaestor's challenge is to get involved! Don't know how? Just ask! Seriously, I don't bite (too hard), and I can point you in the right direction. There are numerous ways to put your skillz to work and if you do the job well, you may get a new shiny medal or your work will add to your promotion recommendation. For starters, you can suggest a House project on the House Project thread (the link's above under the "House Projects" section of this report) and if I approve your suggestion, I may appoint you to lead that project unless you request otherwise.
However, leading or participating in a project is not the only way to be considered "involved." Participate in the Clan Feud, upcoming Rite of Supremacy, the Great Jedi War, and any competitions.
ASK THE QUAESTOR:
(Yes, a brand new section for my already very long reports! In this section, I will list members' letters to me and I will answer them publicly in case it applies to more than just that person. This started when I got the following letter to me.)
deer qua,
im new 2 t3h dark brotherood and i need 2 no t3h meenin of life, the yoonivurse, and everythin. if yoo cud hellp me, thx. i am sorrree if my spelling and grammer dont bi soo gud
thx,
Anonymous
(By request of the sender, or if I deem it necessary, I will list people as "Anonymous.")
Dear Anonymous,
Because you have not addressed me as RevengeX Palpatine, Quaestor of the Rising Dragon, Son of Palpatine, Lord of the Desert Planet Antenora, Viscount of Scholae Palatinae, Blade Master of the Royal Clan, I will make sure that your direct superior punishes you severely. However, I will answer your question about the meaning of life, the universe and everything: originally, a very brilliant man stated that the answer was forty-two, but, there are now more variables to factor into his complex equation. Now that we have a craze about global warming, obviously caused by the decrease of pirates in the world, and since the Colts are going to the Superbowl Ecks-El-Eye, the answer is now forty-three point sixty-seven repeating....
I hope you have lived to see the answer to one of the greatest mysteries that have plagued the imaginations of billions of people.
Love <3,
RevengeX Palpatine, Quaestor of the Rising Dragon, Son of Palpatine, Lord of the Desert Planet Antenora, Viscount of Scholae Palatinae, Blade Master of the Royal Clan
P.S. Your English spelling and grammar isn't good, it's completely terrible and as the Eclectic Pedagogue of the Grammar course of the Shadow Academy's Deneba Campus, specializing in Lore, History and Writing, I will make sure that requests about sadistic punishment are relayed to your direct superior.
Obviously, this letter is fake because I needed an example. When I actually receive a letter, I will not be so cruel and unnecessarily mean, I just needed to make an example of what happens to people when they don't address me by my proper titles (just kidding). :P But with all due seriousness, you can send me your questions/letters and request them to be in my report if you really want. You may also request anonymity. If no questions/letters show up in my inbox to be placed in this section, I'll make a letter up.
