Greetings Cestus,

This past week has been an active one, a bunch of new competitions as well the RO that BF has started. It is now up to each and every member of this great house to step forward and get involved. Cestus is a fluid entity, in the GJW we were the most active house and through each member we continue to do so. I know I’ve said this before, but I am honored to know such a great group of people. Everyone makes this club the fun environment it is. It starts with a good mindset that anything is possible and then application.

Brotherhood News:

AWOL Checks: If you are reading this and haven’t responded to the MAAs message yet, do so NOW!!

ACC is back online, so all you journeymen who need to get qualified let the summit know and we’ll get some qualification battles setup.

**House News:<b>

The run-on that Bloodfyre has been working on has started so if you wanted to be a part of it, and your character is placed, please click here: http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=5772

This will be a fun, casual RO with an excellent chance to develop our characters further. What kind of effect has the war had on your characters? How does your character respond to others giving what they has experienced in war? These are all viable topic and thoughts that could be going through your characters as Cestus returns home.

Competitions:

Besting the Quaestor: Write a story at least one page in length detailing a hand-to-hand combat match against Quaestor Ronovi Tavisaen. The point of this competition is to strengthen writing technique when it comes specifically to "in-the-moment" fighting.

Fist of Cestus: Every month the most active journeyman within House Cestus will be awarded for his participation in Brotherhood activities. This is a great opportunity for journeymen to be awarded for their activity during the crucial time of your membership.

The AEDs Banner: Cestus, the Aedile calls upon you to design him a banner for his reports. This banner will be used for the formal reports that he will be posting on the DJB site and many eyes will look upon it so make it something unique. This is for all you graphic artists out there; often competitions aren’t created for your specific talents, so here is one for you.

_Vault of Knowledge:<i> The Aedile in his gracious spirit has decided that he will be adding a trivia question to his report to the house that will be posted on the 4th Sunday of each month. This trivia question can come from anywhere in the Star Wars universe and will be designed to test your knowledge and research abilities. You will have 1 month to answer these questions. At the end of today’s report will be the first question

Speaking of today’s “Vault of Knowledge” trivia, here it is:

<i>Q: In the Empire Stikes Back, who was the officer that stood near Piett when Vader inquired if the Millenium Falcon’s hyperdrive had been deactivated at Cloud City?</i>

Keep up the excellent work Cestus, there is much to participate in and I want to see lots of submissions to all competitions.
