The giant form of the Cerean manually flipped off the switch of the private Holonet projector as he rolled over and buried himself deep under the covers. "Great," he grumbled. "Another Aedile lost. This house couldn't hold onto one if it was the ledge above a ten meter drop to a pit of lava." Prajna Berkana just began to drift into dreamless sleep, when a chirp forced him back toward the communication device.

A miniature replica of the new Quaestor stood on the platform on his nightstand. "Hey silly Pajamas. I didn't wake you, did I?" His extreme joy was quite easy to detect in his voice. Thran Ocassus didn't wait for PJ to respond before continuing. "You need to get out of that bed and get busy. As soon as I get home and sober up, we have some drinking to do. And after that, we have plenty of work."

The long face of the Obelisk Templar closed his eyes as he started to roll back onto his pillows. He grumbled husky words in return. "If you need someone killed, get me in the morning; otherwise, I am sure one of the journeymen is eager for busywork."

The sith stood straight and lowered his voice in a way that gave it a quiet boom. "Aedile Berkana, if my office isn't cleaned by the time I get back to Caina, you will be on half rations for a week!" The short blue figure disappeared, leading complete blackness into the room.

Prajna Berkana sat up fast. "Did he say Aedile?"

My guess is Caina is frozen over. Someone put me in charge. I warned them this would have to happen eventually. Still, Aedile of the best House ever to serve at the feet of the Dark Lord of the Sith? So much to do.

I want everyone's goal each day to cause my mailbox to fill with at least as many medals as I already received today. And there is plenty of room for that to happen. If we ever need more reason, Ill just make something up.

For starters, 3% of the votes are in, and we are leading the polls against House Cali...HC. Eh it was too long anyway to spell. But still 97% of the work is ahead of us. Right now the gaming is too close for us to be proud of our Obelisk heritage. And honestly, a gamer can write, but a Krath just can't game. We all know it! So get out there and challenge some fools. Here is again the list of Caliburnus who are worth double points:

Tyno

Corin

Xathia

Brent "Archangel" Victae

Malaki

Fionn

Nokkon

Impetus Palpatine

If would like too see ten new battles started this week out of you all in the feud hall. It isn't that hard. I haven't a clue how many duels I lost in JA just to get as average as I am, but the same goes for ACC. You can learn more what judges are looking for and always take a chance to improve your writing.

Speaking of practice, who can't write two pages about killing some newbie in our rival House? Here are the two competitions Lucien has already set out in attempts to rig this election against the half sized HDS.

Who wants to be Boba Fett?

The ground will run red with blood after this violent outbreak between Houses Caliburnus and Dorimad Sol. Your task is to write about collecting the bounty on one of the members singled out by the House Summits.

Was it easy to catch them? Were they sleeping? How did you manage to “collect” the bounty? Did you take them dead or alive?

Minimum 2 page fiction

Wanted! Dead or Alive!

Given the recent escalation of violence between House Caliburnus and House Dorimad Sol, there have been bounties placed on several members’ heads. Your task will be to design a Wanted poster for one of these individuals. The member must be from the opposite House and must include the following:

An image of the member in question (can be their Wiki picture. If no image is available, there must be a detailed description of the member)

The amount of bounty on their head.

The reasoning for the bounty.

End Dates are the last day of February and all entries need to get into [Log in to view e-mail addresses]

I would expect at least 20 entries for each, no less! We all need to do our part to show why we bare the name of Dorimad Sol.

On top of this, our fearless Sith leader has seen fit in his great wisdom to include several other competitions this month. Also expect one or two from myself before the leap year (if that doesn't lend you what it will be about). Get out there and be active.

Two brains are better than one... (Cerean wisdom for the rest of you stuck with half the Cerebellums)

"we'll drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink and fight!

and if i see a pretty girl, ill sleep with her tonight!

we'll drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink and fight!"

Remember the important things in life. The only thing that comes before fighting is drinking! Don't blame me, Flogging Molly said so. And I ain't your mother so I can tell you that in 99.9% of all reported cases, drinking isn't bad for you. Moral of the story is be active and the promotions come to you.
