Phoenix Report #14

Well then, I’m back 

For those of you who’ve been on the planet zarg for the last few weeks, I’m your new TET, and we’re right at the start of this year’s Great Jedi War!

I’d like to just take this moment to welcome Alanna and Sena back to Phoenix, that gives us one hell of a team for the GJW, and I’m looking forward to seeing what everyone can do! Those of you below DJK should’ve had an email from me by now, asking where you stand in terms of your requirements for your next promo so I can keep track of these, and make sure the House Summit reward you all appropriately! If you haven’t got these to me yet, then as soon as you get a chance would be fab, tho if you’re entering GJW events I’ll let you off ;)

I’d like to congratulate Lannie on passing her Grammar Studies exam, and Vardar on getting his character sheet approved for the ACC – extra ice-cream rations for both of you!!

So, the main thing that needs everyone’s attention right now is the GJW, the website is here: http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/gjw9/ and a summary of the events taken from Shad’s email is below for those of you who have managed to misplace the original email, and want a summary without having to search the website!!

Don’t forget to CC me on any entries so I can keep tabs 

That’s it really for now, give me a shout if you need anything, and similarly if RL is overtaking you, let me know and I’ll ease off on the hassling!!
