--Oh snap, my first report. As you all know, Vodo stepped down as Aedile, and was replaced by myself. If you see him around, give him a nice thumbs up, both thumbs preferably.

--A huge thanks goes out to Anubis for helping me with the graphics for this report, as well as the coding.

--Prince Caspian was awesome.

--Independence Games are OVER. This is possible the best news to be had. Thank you to everyone who gave it their all.

--Gaming Nights are now back in full now. Remember, use only official JA/JO servers only, otherwise your matches cannot be credited. If you have any problems, take it up with our Tribune: Gaming, Shadow.

--A quick reminder for those in Ektrosis who applied to beta test the new Character Sheets, Jac will be emailing us within the week. And remember, if we don’t do them, we’ll be banned from using the CS’ for a long time. So let’s make sure we do what we’re asked to do for some phat medals.

--Grand Master report to be released soon, keep on the lookout for this.

--Our Headmaster Aabsdu is still taking exams, so this month’s monthly competition will most likely not be held.

--Tribube: Fiction Report is out, go read! And see below.

--Expect a new Fiction competition from our Tribune: Fiction and P:GM Raken this month. He’s promised us monthly trivia comps with several Legion of the Scholars up for grabs.

--Transfers are now back up, now that the Independence Games are over. That does not give any of you permission to transfer out!

--Dinaari QUA Vladet is running his Dinaari Internship Program once again. I highly recommend this, as it’s a perfect chance to get to know the House Summit, what you’ll be working with, and who. It is geared for members who haven’t had previous leadership experience in the past. Those who are interested, please follow Vladet’s instructions as he sent via Taldryan group mail. Everyone in Ektrosis who is DJK and below that hasn’t had formal leadership should take this opportunity and snag it!

--Hunter Jerse Remid was chosen as the Herald’s new Magistrate, congrats! Now update my banner! :P

--First off, the most exciting house news. Taldryan submitted 75 events in the Independence Games (NOT counting gaming). Out of that 75, Ektrosis submitted 48 outstanding events. That’s more than 50%…go us! A huge congrats go out to myself (for the most submitted events in Taldryan) and Vardar (for placing in the top 3 for overall wins.) Expect to see many more Gaming wins from Vardar and myself (I placed 4th overall).

--As you no doubt probably already know, I’m the new Ektrosis AED. Go me.

--Alanna is back from her short lived LoA, which means our lower level members should be receiving their welcoming emails already.

--Sadly, I announce that ACO James Longstreet has transferred out to the Rogues, due to real life issues. We hope to see him again.

--On a more happier note, we welcome APP Dianacht to our ranks from the Shadow Academy!

--After the re-opening of Battle Team Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Guardian Zasati Tryezsh was chosen as the Tetrarch. Congratulations!

--At the book signing in Indiana, Muz presented Troy Denning with his very own Dark JedI Brotherhood plaque. This is the first of many presentations like this, to get our name out more to the public. Awesome picture of it: http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/Sarin/certificate.JPG

--Nothing else worth reporting.

Reports Work - For Everyone

Unit: Clan Leaders

Specifics: This competition is for the BTLs, AEDs, QUAs, and PCON of Taldryan. Members need to have good, informative, and regular reports to keep them interested and up-to-date on happenings. Every two weeks I'll look over reports and reward the top leader. They will be awarded depending on how great their report actually is.

Platforms: Report writing

Awards: Crescents, from 5th level to 3rd level depending on the amount of effort put into each report

Comments: Following a competition line done by myself in 2006 and former Consul Kir before that.

The Sentire Taldryae‘s bidding.

Unit: House Ektrosis

Specifics: Recently, the newly appointed Sentire Taldryae's of Clan Taldryan began their missions aboard. Because of their secrecy and discretion needed for each of their missions, they are not able to complete everything in the time frame of the Clan Summit.

You are being hired on by Taigikori Aybara and Andryan "Ace" Queldom to complete their final task.

Decide what mission you partake on, how you achieve your goal, and what personal conflicts your character encounters in this mission.

4th level crescents up for grabs, I expect a page and a half minimum.

Ends on: 6/4

AED‘s Challenge

Unit: House Ektrosis

The Ektrosis Shopping Supremacy!

Unit: House Ektrosis

Specifics:

You will be sent on an assignment to the capital of Taruma, Etrosium Prime

on a mission: to shop in Ektrosis's economical hub! You are allowed

unlimited credits, but just to make sure you won't be wasting the clan's

credits, your superiors have asked your to prepare a list of the things

you would buy, and its estimated price!

Entries will be judged on humour purely, and will be open to all

Ektrosians. Your entry must have at least 10 things on it, and must

include these words: Horsey, Chrome, Sklibbles, Taige, Broccoli.

Unlimited credits, so basically endless lists can be formed. Let the

grocery list begin!

End date: 6/1

What does it mean to be in Hex?

Unit: Battle Team Hex

Specifics: Just what the title says. Write what it means to you to be in Hex, and try to make the submission look good. Pictures will enhance chance of winning (if you can find any). It must be at least half a page in length, as well as in a Word document if possible. It can be written both ways: out of character, and in character. I prefer that you only do one, though.
