Hex Report #11
Greetings people. Another week has passed once more. Another report is coming out from my department, or position, or things. Simple report this week, with lesser talk and more stuff. >=P
Holidays on the way, Christmas getting nearer, my results are very much closer(gah!). Make sure your Christmas shopping are done, and after the long day spent away from the PC, feel free to do some of Tals wintery comps.
Ok then, comps time and other stuff time.

** 1) The SHAFT: CTF Edition (December) **
http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/CompetitionDetails.asp?ID=3111
http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/wiki/index.php?title=The_SHAFT
A return of the SHAFT event we ran earlier this year, let's try and get back
into those fun matches that Taldryan really shines in! Play in the Gaming
Nights with others, in the ICTE, or even by just getting Clan members to
play together, it's all good fun and it'll help improve those skills for
future events.
** 2) Taldryan Topic: Kr'Tal Festivals **
http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/CompetitionDetails.asp?ID=3112
This one is a fiction event for those wanting to write a more serious take
on the end of the year fictionally, our move into 28 ABY. Would be nice to
see some good fictions possibly opening up our system locations a bit more,
some of these would be good to put in the final Tal Times of the year also.
(Noting I have the end date as the 31st, but aiming for the 27th for those
to go in the TT)
** 3) Run-on: Party Time **
http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=4921
This is an off-the-wall Run-on that some should enjoy, it's not a serious
one but can be an enjoyable one. If this one is really great it'll be thrown
in the TT as well.
** 4) TT Article Competition **
http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/CompetitionDetails.asp?ID=3061
This one is extended to the 27th so we can get any last minute submissions
in plus the other already mentioned pieces added. We could still use mock
interviews, an article or two, and some miscellaneous things if interested.
** _ Ekky Level _**
** Sklibs Essay Comp **
Fiction event lasting a fairly long time, designed primarily to encourage a development of recent "history" as well as character development. Each "Chapter" of fiction will be 2-3 weeks long depending on circumstance, with a designated topic that will continuously follow a core plot.
Members do not need to participate in every week, and do not have to have done the fiction the week prior in order to do another one. Winning entries will be posted in the upcoming Ektrosis newsletter, and third-level crescents will be awarded to the participants with the most entries by the end of the competition. There will be ten topics over the course of the event.
I believe the 3rd chapter is out, details below:
The wearied Quaestor groaned on his cot; the Ysalimiri's Force-draining
effect was still taking its toll on the Tarasin.
"Are you alright?" the Aedile inquired.
Through clenched teeth, Hel-Pa replied, "Yeah... barely. I didn't think
it would be this bad..."
"We're just all glad you're back."
Hel-Pa nodded. He looked up at Vodo and braced himself against his
mattress, scooting his weak body up into a sitting position. He had
learned crucial information about Darga's operations, and needed
Ektrosis to act quickly to prevent further escalation and danger to his
House. "Get me a holoreceiver, Vodo, I'm going to make a broadcast to
the House."
"But, you're not exactly in the greatest condition," the Twi'lek replied.
"There's no time to lose," Sklib spat. Vodo exited the room and returned
a minute later with the device, and set it up at Hel-Pa's feet so that
it would only capture the Quaestor's face. "Is it on?" the Tarsin
inquired. Vodo nodded.
::INCOMING TRANSMISSION::
::STATUS: URGENT::
"My fellow Housemates. I appreciate the efforts of the brave souls that
rescued me from captivity, and I owe them my lives. I only wish it ended
there, though. Your loyalty will be tested now, and while it may seem
strange to you, you will need to do as I say. Darga the Hutt has
retreated to Cloud City on the planet Bespin. While our information is a
bit 'late', we believe that a small group of Ektrosians can intercept
the Hutt and our probes can further interrogate the Hutt as to his
intent of capturing myself. I do not ask you to do this out of
selfishness, but more to protect the House's security.
"The annual sabaac tournament is set to take place within the next few
days, and Ektrosis requires the best gamblers to take part in the
tournament. I have two spots reserved under the names "Donny Darko" and
"Richard Nixon" for the tournament, but others will be required to
observe the activities that take place during the tournament. The sabaac
players will need to be human or at least look human, and winning is
essential. The winners will not only receive a handsome sum of money,
but also dine with Darga that same evening. Remember, this is an
Imperial-controlled planet, so try to assimilate as best you can. I'll
forward you more specifics to your datapads, and may the Force be with you."
::END TRANSMISSION::
"You really think Sklib is doing it for himself?" Tirano whispered to
DarkAmiz.
"Nah. At the very least, the Hutt has great sums of wealth that House
desperately needs after the construction of the great library," he
replied, twiddling his newly-crafted lightsaber.
"I heard the Hutt was using his income to fund some huge Imperial
project. What's that thing on Tatooine called again?" a Novice asked.
"A Skarback? Scorelock? Sarcrack? Something like that..." another replied.
"The Sarlaac Project. I've heard of it," Amiz coolly replied. "I
probably shouldn't, but I also heard rumors that the Imperials were
getting funds from backwater crime lords. We can only hope we don't run
into any... 'Imperial entanglements' on Bespin if we choose to go."
"Well that's the trick, isn't it?" Tirano chuckled.
=======================================================
Alright, same rules as before. Minimum of two pages single-spaced, and
no time limit for this or any of the other previous chapters. Things to
consider when writing: 1) You don't have to participate in the
tournament yourself, you can be snooping around the area looking for
important people/things... but I'm interested to hear everyone's
gambling stories. 2) You will meet Darga and be within killing distance
of him if you win the tournament or acquire other means to be his dinner
guest. Heavy focus on "killing distance". Use your imagination ;) 3)
There are Imperials, lots of them. Escaping the planet, if you cause a
ruckus, won't be very easy.
It sounds like a Hitman type story to me very interesting. Plus, Im mentioned, so go do it.
