Lots of competitions happening in Dinaari and in Taldryan this week and month. Here's a sneak peek:

<li> Graffiti the AED (Dinaari Edition) is a simple and fun competiton for everyone to participate. Take the image of the AED provided (in the competition link) and go to town with it. The top 3 funniest submissions get 5th Level Crescents. Members can send in as many submissions as they want.

Instructions/Details: http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/CompetitionDetails.asp?ID=3320

<li> The Dinaari Intelligence Excercise (DIE) is going on for the months of February, March, and April. Very easy concept - over the next three months members of House Dinaari will compete to see who can complete the most Shadow Academy exams per month. 4th Level Crescents are up for grabs for the top three test takers per month.

Instructions/Details: http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/CompetitionDetails.asp?ID=3268

<li> Unforeseen Consequences. Oooh! Sounds omnimous! Anyway. This competition is a bit heavier for in writing for the Journeymen in the House, but that's the idea. This competition carries a bit more weight than the previous ones, and it's counted heavier in regards to promotions. Hint hint. The setup is... A Dinaari crystal mining shuttle is overdue from Kaiburr. You've been sent out by the House Summit to investigate its status. As you approach the shuttle's last-known position you come across a small pirate corvette that seems to have hijacked the shuttle.

Before you can turn back and report, the pirates take notice of you and start giving chase; before you jump to hyperspace, they get you in a tractor beam. You are on your own, and no Dinaari or Taldryan support will be coming.

Instructions/Details: http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/CompetitionDetails.asp?ID=3274

<li> EPIC Banner is for those of you who have (or believe you have) any GFX talent. Hell, even if you don't, give it a try. Members of House Dinaari will compete to make me (Vladet Xavier) a banner that can be used on the message boards and maybe some other uses (i.e. reports). The banner should be rectangular in nature and identify my name, positions (QUA and RHoJ), and location (Dinaari of Taldryan or Taldryan, whatever works better).

Instructions/Details: http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/CompetitionDetails.asp?ID=3267

<li> The Resurrection of Dominus Sicarius is still going on. It's too long to summarize, so I'll just direct you to the link. This is more of a prestige competition rather than anything else.
