Goings-on
Ah, nothing like getting pink eye in both eyes on top of a head cold that wont go away. If youve read the Clan report from Sith youll see that I am having family issues. My grandma has been initially diagnosed with lung cancer and will be going through tests all this week. If they confirm the initial diagnosis Ill be stepping down to spend as much of the summer as I can with her. Its not something I do lightly. I love running these little battle teams and working on projects and stuff. My grandma means a lot to me, as did my grandpa. I had to bury him last October and I am just sort of lost without him. I finally was able to bring myself to visit his grave last month if that tells you how painful it was for me to loose him. I dont need any words of sympathy; just understanding and if you really want to know more you can hit me up with an email.
The run-on is still chugging along. Big thanks to Kazarelth for being active in that. Im here to offer any ideas for posts and to answer any questions on what the heck a Draugr is and what not.
I bet you are all wondering when Ill get around to giving out awards for the Whats in a Name? competition I ran. It was really a hard decision to make as everyone who entered had an interesting reason for their character name. Ill get medals out here soon so watch that inbox. First place goes to Brimstone, second to Levathan, and third to Kazerelth. Great job everyone!

Gaming Deaths Just for us!!
Ends and maybe restarts June 1st
There's always the weekly SA trivia held on IRC. Im guessing in the #SA channel every Saturday at approximately 1300 EST. Make sure you check the DB news page for weekly updates.
Oh and there's the Inter Club Training Event or ICTE that happens every Saturday in the #outerrim channel. You'll need some games for that. There's also the Gaming nights during the week if you happen to fancy a game. I'm not sure when these happen or what schedule rotation it is on so just hop into #dbgaming to see what's going on. On the weekly gaming nights you can also try for an ACCLive! match but you'll have to pass qualification first.
If anyone has any questions on any of these competitions or any ideas for future competitions feel free to give me a yell. I am here for you.
Ramblings and Other Such Things
Cool Game Death - No one sent one in this week so I guess I'll tell another tale of me getting my butt kicked in a game.
"This one comes from Doom 3. Its an awesome game to play in the dark with the volume turned up. Anyways, I finally got to the final boss which was a huge cyberdemon that took no damage from any weapons except the artifact. There were littler demons to focus your normal weapons on and charge up the artifact with. The battleground was donut shaped with a very nasty fall all around. The littler demons crawled up from the pit in the middle. So I was working on putting distance between the huge demon and myself while I recharged the artifact. I was dodging the plasma balls a lesser demon was throwing at me while I refilled my shotgun. Well I got a little too close to the outer edge and the big demon fired a rocket at me. The blast knocked me right off the edge and down into the dark abyss I went. This happened a few more times before I finally won :P "
Work Related Fun - It was actually a normal week. We finally dug out this barrel clamp to use with a forklift so we no longer have to muscle the 55 gallon drums by hand. Its pretty sweet actually. Its not often that we get an easy week like last week so Im thankful for it. Probably will pay for it this week though.
Thought of the Week - Are we really intelligent? Or are we just so arrogant that we cannot understand that we are far more inferior than we think.
Alright I've yacked your ear off enough. Email me if you need/want anything.
