Sapphire Report #4

9/19/2008

It's that time again. Another report detailing the awesome adventures of your Sapphire Squadron. It only felt like yesterday that I sent my last report.

News and Announcements

House Feud continues as House Marka Ragnos is trying to take the mantle of First House. Currently the score is 1971 to 1030 in their favor. Check out the House Feud and if you are up for it (aka DO IT!) submit something.

Sapphire Squad Check In

Well I extended the check in this week so it looks like only the following will remain in the Sapphire Squadron. The rest of you are welcome to reapply to the Sapphire. You should check out the Paladins of Kressh or maybe the Jade Serpents, but the Sapphire will welcome you back.

Pylarus, Aranas, Macron, and 'Kavar will remain with the Sapphire. I will be making some changes with the Flight Leaders soon, so keep an eye out for an announcement.

House Feud

These are the events that are still ongoing. All submissions must be done by 11:59 PM EST tonight. Chapter 3 starts on Sunday with Chapter 4 waiting in the shadows.

Event 1 - Crossword

It seems that this Event is still active. Complete the crossword puzzle at this link, and send the results to the judges. Only 100% correct entries will count. Entries will be placed in the order they are received. This event runs the duration of the entire Feud, this is easy participation points, even if you don't get placement points.

Event 3 - Clan Run-On

The Clan Runon will take place on the main CNS Forum. After the intro is posted, members may post to the runon. No member may post back to back. No edits will be allowed after the post is made. Posting must go back and forth between houses. One HMR post, one HLK post, one HMR post, ect. 2000 Feud Points will be awarded in this event. Judges will award 1-5 points for each post, based on quality (including spelling and grammar), continuity, length of post, and overall continuity. The House that amasses the most points will receive 66% of the unawarded points, and the losing house will receive 34% of the unawarded points.

Event 9 - Fiction 2-7 pages

Open war has thus far been prevented, but as both Houses land craft on the surface of the moons, reports of conflicts are being made throughout the planet's moons. As your craft lands on the surface, the other House is waiting. 500 Feud Points will be awarded using standard event scoring.

Event 10 - Short Fiction 1-4 pages

As the faint light of Orion Major reaches Inos, you've landed on the planet, carrying out orders directly from your Quaestor. As your craft lands, you find yourself only meters from an equal in the opposing house. Your mission is now at risk, do you evade, attack, negotiate ? 500 Feud Points will be awarded using standard event scoring

Event 11 - Poetry

Just minutes before landing on Inos, with the faint light of Orion Major creeping over the horizon, you take a brief moment to appreciate the view. 500 Feud Points will be awarded using standard event scoring.

Event 12 - Gaming

With the crash site located, conflict is breaking out as both houses approach and land on the planet. You may only compete against members of the opposing house. There is no limit on games played, you can not deny challenges if you are accepting them from other players Event points are awarded following the CF table for Gaming Nights (http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/wiki/index.php?title=Gaming_Nights).
