Consul Report

2008/11/23, 3:42 PM, Consul - Clan Taldryan

Report #1 November 23, 2008

 Well, first off I guess Im the new Consul. Hopefully most of you are aware of that by now if not you pretty much suck :P  Seeing as youve all been privy to my recent barrage of emails wont go over the whole introduction thing again.  



 Clan-wide AWOL check is going on right now. I sent out an email to everyone in the Clan in the form of a small survey. You need to answer the questions with a simple yes or no and get that back to me before November 30th. So far I have received 28 replies out of a possible 60+. If you didnt receive the survey let me know right away so I can send it to you.  



 Operation: Resurgence  This is a Clan-wide competition designed to get everyone prepared for the Great Jedi War. Tomorrow night well be asking people signup for the first phase of events. More information will be released at that time and well have the competition website finished some time in the coming week. With just about two months left until the next GJW, its time to start unrusting.

 The Grand Master is currently on leave, but should return within the next couple of days. He also announced the Brotherhood website will be taken offline sometime in the coming week for maintenance. Try not to freak out   



  The Gaming Tribune is running a Brotherhood-wide bracket tournament. If youre signed up make sure to get your matches played as soon as possible. The brackets can be found  [here.](http://icte.darkjedibrotherhood.com/brackets/brackets.php) Report your matches directly to Dante - djb.gaming@gmail.com  



 Sometime in December the Herald will be doing some sort of crazy DB Hanukah. Seven days of Herald-style presents. While Im sure we should all be scared, there is a slight chance he might just give out some cool dossier things  banners, lightsabers, robes, and whatnot. Be on the lookout for that some time in December. Hell also be on a two-week leave of absence, so things might slow down a bit at the Heralds office.  



 Sarin has once again offered a bit of information on the upcoming Great Jedi War. Former Tal Consul, Kir Gone Gay Katarn is the Master of Ceremonies (well duh) and will be playing a large role in the organization of the war. This is good, because Kir appears to be semi-competent at everything he does. Yay!

Dark Brotherhood

Reliquary - The latest monthly topic from the Fiction Tribune.
Madness - A crazy competition from the Deputy Grand Master.

  This is my first attempt at an intelligence-like gathering of information on the other Clans. Basically, I believe we should all be aware of how the other Clans are faring. Its good to get into the habit of being aware of the Brotherhood in a larger-sense, plus it helps us see just how the competition is doing. Below is a rough summary based on the Clan Summit reports.

Arcona - No current report found.
Naga Sadow - Nothing of interest to report.
** Plagueis** - With the appointment of Braecen as Consul, Plagueis is working hard on becoming a contender for the next GJW. While their activity rises, its difficult to tell if they have brought their game up to the next level, though.
** Scholae Palatinae** - From the latest report of Consul Lucien, Clan Taldryan has won each and every GJW so far and has never relinquished the title of First Clan, causing some of them to be smug. I want to wipe that smugness off their faces. I want them to lose so bad that even Plagueis is ranked above them. Thems, of course, are fighting words. His facts may be incorrect (First Clan is awarded for winning an RoS), but he tends to see Taldryan fail. Lets wipe the floor with them.
Tarentum - Anshars latest seems to be filled with optimism. Apparently the Tarentae are not fighting as much as they used to and are actually playing ball with the rest of the DB. Perhaps theyll decided to really participate in this GJW.
