Aedile Report

2007/12/21, 10:30 PM, Aedile - House Gladius

Dark Greetings House Gladius,

This is going to be my last report for the year and first, Id like to take this opportunity to tell you guys that Im both honored and privileged to be your Aedile. Im glad that I have the opportunity to lead a unit in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood that is filled with some of the most talented people in this club. Next year, Im sure that all of you guys are going to show the entire Brotherhood how awesome and dominant Gladius can be. I know that the holidays often come with slips in activity and that is totally understandable. Just be sure to return to activity in 2008 and show all that Gladius is a force to be reckoned with. And now, onto the rest of my holiday report.

Quite a bit has happened this week and probably the biggest event that transpired was that Dark Jedi Master Bloodfyre stepped down from the position of Consul (leader of the Clan) and Dark Jedi Master Anshar Kahn (the former Headmaster) has taken the duty of leading Tarentum. Its sad to see you go Master Bloodfyre and congratulations Master Kahn.

For those who still have some time to spare for the Dark Brotherhood during this festive season, I highly recommend you enter Telonas Festival Competition. I encourage every member to try and enter at least one event in the Competition so that you can win a few medals and make our wonderful Quaestor happy: P.

Id like to remind all of you guys that you can get promoted by being active. To see what you need to do to get promoted to the next rank, refer to the promotion guidelines in www.tarentum.org. Ive included a short summary in this report of what journeymen can do to show me that they are ready for a promotion. Please remember that the House Summit, me included, cannot reward you unless you make us aware of what youve done and also remember that I need to discuss promotions with Telona before I recommend them, unless they are simple promotions like an Apprentice submitting his history or a Jedi Hunter finishing his trials.

Here are my own little Promotion Guidelines for Journeymen:

Apprentices, Novices and Acolytes can get promoted if they pass 4 SA Courses, take part in 2 Competitions or, in the case of apprentices, submit their history.

Protectors and Guardians can get promoted if they do a combination of the following things: pass 10 SA Courses, take part in 4 competitions, place in two competitions or take part in 2 ACC Battles or 2 Gaming Nights.

For Jedi Hunters and Dark Jedi Knights, Ill offer a Dark Cross to those who fulfill the same requirements a Protector or Guardian needs to fulfill to get promoted as shown in the line above.

So, get active and then get rewarded. Its that simple.

Now, onto the section where I tell you guys how great youve been over the past week.

Promotions:

Dralin, our friendly neighborhood Battle Team Leader, has been promoted to Guardian! Yay for Dralin!

Shadow Academy Passes:

Dralin has been going through SA Courses like crazy! In this week, hes passed Wiki Basics, Old Republic History, MSN Messenger and History of the Sith Empire II. Be careful Dralin, soon you wont have any SA Courses left to take: P.

Frindsor has passed Old Republic History and Astronomy. Well done, my apprentice!

Medals:

Dralin got a Crescent with a Quartz Star! Yaay!

Ziltopia got a Crescent with an Emerald Star! Congrats!

Deatharoc finally got his first merit medal a Dark Cross! Its about time they gave me one of those :P.

If anybody has any ideas to make the house better, then you can email either Telona or me. I am more than happy to hear from any member of the Clan and Im sure Telona is as well. If your idea is a sane one, hand it over to Telona. If your idea is totally insane and crazy, then you can hand it over to me. Insanity and craziness are my fortes after all (ask anybody Ive worked with and theyll all agree):P.

Thats about it for this week. Id like to end by wishing you all a very Merry Christmas, a Happy Hanukkah or whatever else you and your family are celebrating this time of year. Expect to see new things for the house next year and I can guarantee that if you become active, 2008 will be a great year for Gladius. Have a safe holiday everyone and enjoy every bit of it.
