Dark Greetings House Marka Ragnos,

Two things have happened this week that marks a new era in the history of our House and Clan; Ashia being Consul and our very own Xander being promoted to DJK. The Disciples of Ragnos project keeps growing strength to strength, I have added the mission statement into this report in hopes members will see the purpose and need for this project; I hope this helps clear any confusion to any members who were confused. A House Prospectus was also created to work with the Disciples of Ragnos project and how it relates to us as House.

Competitions

Title: The Hunt is on!

Specifics:

There are 10 eggs hidden throughout the clan's bases. Each egg has a hidden prize. Anything from 5 credits to the one golden egg that has a week of vacation time (this one is very well hidden so you need to make sure if you find this one you have a more involved story). Your task is to write a fiction of where you find your egg(s), how many you find (maximum find of 5 eggs) how you find your egg(s), and what's in your egg(s).

Title: [HMR] Past & Present

Requested By: DJK Faeril Munlear

Specifics: To keep a bit of the theme going from the CNS Artisan's Competition, I thought it would be fun to illustrate House Marka Ragnos' progression to the House it is today! This is a great competition if you are new to the House. It gives you a chance to do some research and get to know your history, and for older members a great way to reminisce.

You can use this competition as a means to help develop your character, create a great story for our House or even just have fun illustrating our illustrious heritage. The possibilities are really endless, with Darth Nephets, the Disciples of Ragnos, Cellars of the Trev, how our House emerged as one of the prominent Houses of Clan Naga Sadow to even how our Battleteams have gotten to where they are today. It's all a part of House Marka Ragnos' history, so let's hear (or see) your version or interpretation of our amazing House!

You can use any medium whether fiction, graphics, poetry, etc. somehow illustrating our House in the past and in the present. Use the wiki for reference!

End Date: 3/28/2008 Deadline Extended to Friday, April 4

Quaestor Real Life

I owe Vorion a photo of me in my Bullet for my Valentine t-shirt. I promise I will get it for next weeks report. I have been very busy today as I first had to show my dad how to change an ink cartridge; he wasnt sure how to do it without breaking his printer. I then had to move some photographs on his computer to make it easier for him to get too.

Its ok though, I got him to pay me; he made a nice corned beef and cheese roll, and a nice cake and a wonderful cup of tea. I am not cheap after all it was one of those posh cakes. Heh.

Disciples of Ragnos Mission Statement

House Champion/Dark Librarian

The purpose of this role will remain the same. The most active member a month will be named House Champion for that month (i.e Zaxen being our first February House Champion). The House Champion because the Dark Librarian for the next both; fictionally he or she gains access to the untold knowledge stored in the Dark Library, while non-fictionally this person is allowed to House Summit meetings to bring his or her ideas and short-term project (something that can be done within two weeks) to the House. I'm thinking of adding a DL section to my reports for them to insert their ideas/project/thoughts to the House as a weekly things (this would be optional).

Scions and Progeny

This is something we can use to reward House-related accomplishments (thank you Raven for the idea). Progeny can refer to an academic progeny (a student), which can refer to a member developing there own skills say within the Shadow Academy by getting Maven's and/or demonstrating leadership abilities; anything that relates to themselves growing. I think a set of requirements would be an interesting way for members to challenge themselves to grow. The fictional benefit of being a Progeny has yet to be written, but there is the beauty of it; that is something for us to develop as a House.

Scions can be more House related than personal; like a member doing outstandingly well in a GJW, or a Journeyman finally making it to DJK, anything that can be considered a House-related accomplishment. Again, the fictional side of this has yet to be developed, but Scions would be the elite of the Disciples of Ragnos.

Three Paths of the Disciples

Since this is the most fictional part of the DoR, it may be an idea to drop the point system idea and just focus on fiction and run-ons only. This would allow members to expand out as they explore the Three Paths. A member can explore the Disciples of Ragnos through writing, anything from one page to ten, depending on the person mind you. The idea here is to just explore your character, the main focus being character development rather than spelling or grammar; members would get to explore their character as their status rises among the Disciples. How would one advance through the Three Paths? A set of requirements would be needed, but this is for the House Summit so we can reward a member and advance their status within the Disciples of Ragnos

Everything mentioned doesn't change much what has already been established with DoR on the wikipages, if anything it would fill up the stuff we haven't done. In the end everything mentioned has the following affect:

<menu>

<li type="disc">House Champion/Dark Librarian allows a member to try out short-term projects (which means projects that dont take long to set up) and to voice his/her ideas (along with any members ideas who would rather go through them instead of coming directly to the House Summit)

</li><li type="disc">Progeny allows members personal accomplishments to be displayed, allowing a member to grow as an individual and reward that by letting them have a fictional impact within House canon... the fictional aspect of Progeny has yet to be developed, which means all and any ideas on what they do within the Disciples of Ragnos is open for development.

</li><li type="disc">Scion allows members House-related accomplishments to be displayed, a Scion is higher than a Progeny, which means it would replace it. Again, the fictional aspect has yet to be fully developed, but they are the elite of the Disciples of Ragnos. Their impact in House canon would rival the Council members (at least that is my idea)

</li><li type="disc">The Three Paths of the Disciples would be the House fictional device for character development... allowing members to develop and evolve their characters through fiction and run-ons. The idea is to allow people who aren't good writers to generally have fun to explore their character. This would mainly be for members who want to develop their characters in House canon. So far only one Path has been development.

</li></menu>

So what does this allow a member to focus on within House Marka Ragnos:

Leadership: Accountability, Interaction, Development, aka L.A.I.D. A chance for one member to experience House Summit type role having earned it by becoming House Champion
Encourage and promote member development by becoming a Progeny; this allows personal growth to be acknowledged and provide a fictional impact to House canon.
Encourage and promote House development by becoming a Scion; this allows members to see that their participating in GJW, advancement, developing a House (fictionally and non-fictionally) has its rewards and benefits, allowing a Scion to stand out as a exceptional member of his or her House; which would be displayed through House canon.
Encourage and promote character development on a House-wide scale; this is done through fictional aspects of the Dark Librarian, Scions and Progeny... but also with the Three Paths allowing all members to keep pushing forward
