** As promised, here’s my report. Enjoy, or not… :P **

Most Important Stuff

If you read nothing else of this report, at least read this section. First up, the RoS is on. Go prove yourself as a top player, writer, debater, ACC’er, battle planner, or any combination thereof. Also, your clans will benefit.

Next up, I will be going out of town from March 24 through April 2 (I’ll actually be back in town on April 1, but given jet lag and needing to drive back to school, it’ll be April 2 before I can get to anything). While I’m gone, Dranik will have run of the Shadow Academy. I wouldn't flee in terror just yet, as I have taken a week long leave before. The major difference with that one was that Dranik could still get in touch with me. This time, I’m leaving the country altogether.

Finally, since I’ll be gone the next two Saturdays, I’ll need some help with trivia. Dranik should be taking at least one week, but it will be message board based as he works on Saturdays. If anyone would like to help, please contact me ASAP. I only have about a week to make arrangements, so the sooner the better.

Trivia Platforms

There was not a definite winner, but a decent majority want some combination of IRC and message board based trivia. The question is, do we do both each week, or do we alternate? Now, I will, as much as possible (especially with the help of others) try to do the best I can with what the membership wants. There is a new poll up asking about alternating versus dual; please go vote. It will run until after I get back from my trip.

New EPs

<p>Well, only one person volunteered for Meditation, so he gets the job. Congrats to Ricco Vao.</p>

<p>As for the Test of Endurance, we had six applicants, all of which had their various strengths and weaknesses, and it was a very tough choice. All of them mentioned expanding the course in some way, typically in permitting other games to be used in place of the Jedi Knight games. So, the new EP will take on that task (I will be forwarding the comments about improving the course, so those of you who don’t get the job, know that your comments will go into helping improve it). Anyway, without more babbling on my part, the new EP for the Test of Endurance is SW Rasilvenaira StormRaven</p>

<p>Congrats to both Ricco and Rasilvenaira! (I’ll be in touch shortly). Thanks to all who applied; I wish there were more openings, but at this moment, there’s not anything.</p>

Course Updates

<p>Kir’s Judicial course has been approved. Now Dranik has to code it and post it. I’ve dug out my cat o’ nine tails for the occasion. The draft for the Sith Core rewrite has been completed, and I’ll be sending it out for comments soon.</p>

<p>Speaking of courses, we’re still working on getting to 3,000 passings (which means crescents are still up for grabs). We’re at 2903 as I write this.

Summary

• I’m out of town from March 24-April 2. Take problems to Dranik.

• Trivia poll up; go vote. Also, if you’re interested in helping with trivia the next two weeks, contact me ASAP.

• Yay Ricco and Silver for their new jobs.

• New course soon, Core rewrite project almost done (finally)

• Still trying to get to 3,000 passings.

• I’ve been HM for over a year! And it has been fun thus far.
