Hello

I am sure most of you know me. For those who don’t I am the new Aedile of the House Galeres. This is my second rodeo, I have been the AED of this same house once before and a battle team leader of the defunct Qel-Droma phyle (Khobie broke it) before that. I am also the Ecclesiastic Pedagogue of General Leadership.

I have been in Arcona my entire stay, through the ups and the downs. Through our victory over CSP in the inter-clan war and our less than spectacular finishes in the Vendetta, the last Great Jedi War and our most recent Inter-Clan War. I have served through four Consuls, six Pro-Consuls and innumerable Quaestors and Aediles.

The one conclusion I have come to is that while leadership is indispensable, it is only because they are a force multiplier. Meaning they allow you, the clan members to be more effective. The leadership, past or present, cannot win this Great Jedi War. We will win or loose based on your motivation and your dedication.

I am not, as some have suggested, saying sacrifice your real life for this comp. But we all know that when you get online and your log onto IRC, you look at random wiki articles and youtube videos and make witty comments about CSP in #Arcona when you could be focused, writing that next fic or ACC post or trouncing people in JA.

Anyway, I am thankful for the opportunity to serve my Clan once more, you guys are doing an amazing job and if we keep it up, we could pull off an amazing victory and you will be part of it. Provided you work as hard at it as your real life time constraints will allow you too.

Arcona Invicta!
