INTRODUCTION:

(Where has your Quaestor been? Running around like a maniac. :P)

My offline life had bogged me down for a bit, but now I'm out, so I should be functional again. ;)

Oh yea, remember to read the DJB news page, a lot of things have been happening!

The Revvy Report - Eight Months Edition! It's not a very meaty report, but, it'll do.

In my eight months as Quaestor, I have...

• Seen 40 different HAD members receive promotions

• Personally ran 5 different HAD competitions

• Seen at least 500 medals be received by HAD members

• Seen at least 100 ACC battles, with at least one participant being an HAD member, be judged

• Seen 45 Apprentices join HAD from the SA

• Seen HAD come out of its nose dive and gain altitude once again

Check the "House Direction" section of this report for my thoughts on these statistics (among other things). ;)

CLAN NEWS:

1) House Caliburnus' "Golden Iris Conflict" has begun! Link: http://housecaliburnus.org/HCGoldenIris1.html

2) Proconsul Phoenix's All-Star competitions are in full swing! Do lots of activities and grab those shiny trinkets he's waving in front of your face like the crazy bird he is! (Check the "Competitions" section of this report for the full listing of the All-Star competitions.)

3) Zeron has opened up several competitions for CSP's Journeymen - ONLY Journeymen may participate in these competitions. (Again, check the "Competitions" section of this report for the list of these competitions.)

4) Consul Braecen has released another report - be sure to read it if you want the latest information on Clan projects.

HOUSE NEWS:

1) Mayda Ferium, the Order of the Dragon's Fang of Fire, has recently left the Clan for personal reasons and I have been directed to replace her in the Order's roster. (Check the "Order of the Dragon" section of this report.)

2) The Missio Draconis competition still has a few days left! Link: http://www.krath.org/csp/DragonQuest/

3) Rollmaster Cuchulain Darkblade Palpatine is back from his LoA! Welcome back. :)

4) Three (3) competitions, exclusive to HAD, will begin on June 15. These three competitions are tests of creativity, ingenuity, and penmanship, and the winners of each competition will be immortalized into the House's history. 'What are these competitions,' you are probably asking right now. These competitions ask for descriptions of a House facility (three facilities = three competitions) and were created because the ongoing House Facilities project was lagging behind.

ORDER OF THE DRAGON:

(Sorry, no story today... my back is still heavy. I'll think of a way to personalize this later, though.)

By my hand, I hereby induct Krath Epis Adam Anderson into the Order of the Dragon as the Fang of Wisdom, a member of the Order's Third Class.

Adam has consistently performed greatly and participated in every event and niche he can. Although not always the victor, he always tries hard and I am very glad to have him in House Acclivis Draco. Congratulations, my friend. :)

HOUSE DIRECTION:

There is no doubt about it... we have progressed and developed, along with the Clan, collectively, with great strides in the eight months I have been Quaestor. And I am proud to say that I did not do it on my own - you all helped the House grow and become a team. A team that will try as hard as it can.

"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States of America

Now... onto a couple of statistics as outlined in the "Introduction"...

Forty (40) DIFFERENT members receive promotions in an eight month period... not bad... but we could do better. Show me why I should promote you! Do competitions, get involved with projects, be active on IRC and the message boards, pass Shadow Academy exams, and show me how great you are. Remember, I will take notice and award you accordingly. And I am very generous with my promotion/medal button. ;)

Five (5) different HAD competitions... DEFINITELY not the greatest on my part. The Clan Summit, and Dark Brotherhood in general, have mainly been keeping you all busy with competitions like the HAD-HC Feud, CSP-Arcona Feud, Rite of Supremacy: Second Darkness, CSP Summer Olympiad ( a.k.a. Summer Games), Nathaniel has been running Missio Draconis, and the Great Jedi War is planned for July. However, I do plan on running more competitions for you guys in the near future (mid to late June, early July). So, stay tuned for more on that.

In eight months, HAD members have received at least five HUNDRED (500) medals (CF emails only counting as one medal)! When I went through my inbox this morning to look through all the medal emails, I was amazed... I was like, "Damn... these crazies sure know how to rock the blocks..." There were so many emails, I was overwhelmed and told myself that it would be crazy to count all of them. Keep up the superb work, folks!

At least one HUNDRED (100) ACC battles, with at least one combatant being an HAD member, judged... One hundred ACC battles... do you know how much that is? That's CRAYZEEEE! INSANE! You guys rock my socks! This definitely whispers, "ACC Ladder," in my ear!

Forty-five (45) Apprentices joined HAD from the Shadow Academy in eight months... not a bad number, per month. Of course, the few AWOL checks have cleaned up the roster. Keep that new blood running like a river!

There is no denying it... HAD was in a spiraling, desperate nose-dive when I became Quaestor. It was descending rapidly and if we didn't want to be "whoooooooooooosh'ed" by the Dark Council, we would have to gain altitude again. With new leadership and guidance from Consul Braecen and Proconsul Phoenix, we leveled out and then began a steady, very difficult, climb up into the heavens, like a rising dragon, where we belong.

Now, eight months since I have become Quaestor, I feel that I have helped accomplish something. I have helped salvage House Acclivis Draco from a horrendous fate... and I couldn't have done it without you folks. From our resident Elders to the lowliest Journeyman, who just joined a few days ago, you have helped all of us see true, unprecedented progress and you have helped me realize that I have not wasted eight months in vain.

Seriously, with real life punching me repeatedly in the gut, I had considered handing in my resignation several times over the course of the last two months. I was not certain if I had actually helped the House in anyway. But now, I am very certain that I have accomplished at least one thing. And that's a pretty good start. ;)

Keep up the great work, team, and I'll pick up the pace on my end! :D
