Announcements

And now the moment you've all been waiting for...yes, that one. I am

proud to announce the new Clan Rollmaster after an extensive review of the applications, and that is none other than the goodly Rho Ozrei d'Tana! Rho is no stranger to the Arcona Summit, and it's great to have him back on board after an extended leave courtesy of RL. Great to have you back, Rho!

Major Projects

Black Tempest: 95% - Ah, yes. Black Tempest. Known to some of you as Operation Watergate, this is a large, semi-secret project that myself and the rest of the Summit have been working on extensively for a couple of months now. Some of you have already seen peeks or heard rumors. Teasers and previews are available upon request - just poke me on IRC. Expect to see this launch shortly after the holidays. This is not your grandma's Thursday night bridge game. Souls will be melted. Faces will be pwned. That is all.

Stay tuned.

Clan Arcona Prospectus Update: 75% - This is another long-term project nearing completion; the establishment of a definitive and accurate representation of the state of Arcona government re-organization, census, et cetera in the absence of a home system and fixed base of operations. This will also set the tone for the thematic elements of Arcona's fictional future. This includes the drafting and implementation of the individual House Prospectuses as well, which will give each House a more distinctive fictional flavor which is loosely associated with their formative Orders. This is something I've decided to implement in order to bring Clan development more profoundly in-sync with the recent restrengthening of Order identity and "flair" - much like our new Order-specific Force powers, Disciplines, robes, lightsabers, and warbanners.

The Proconsul Speaks

I'm going to take this opportunity to address a matter of increasing

concern. I've heard about some rather blatant antagonism towards some members of other Clans, in particular the employment of some less-than-savory methods in an attempt to upset our rivals' equilibrium - perhaps as a way to gain some perceived advantage in the upcoming Great Jedi War. Let it be known that neither myself nor the Consul will look favorably upon anyone found to be conducting themselves this way, even if they are only in violation of the spirit of the Covenant, and not the letter. I am not going to name names, because you know who you are. Consider this a friendly word of caution.
