A couple of weeks back I got a great report template from one of my predecessors as CM:

[Halc|Away] [Insert DC Position Report]: We're currently doing stuff. Well done to everyone in the RoS. Look for new things shortly. kthxbai

So, here we go!

• A couple of days ago, I got an e-mail from a member asking if he could use the battles he had fought in the RoS as qualification battles instead of going through the regular process. It was a great idea, so I'm offering the opprtunity to everyone. If you are currently an ACC Initiate that participated in one of the ACC events in the RoS, you may get in touch with a member of the ACC Staff and provide them a link to one of your ACC battles. That battle will then be used in place of your qualification battle.

Please note, this is not an automatic qualification for fighting in the RoS, but it might save you the trouble of having to fight another qual battle when you've already been active in the ACC. If you currently have a training or qualification battle open, send your battle links to the staff member you are fighting. If you don't have a battle open, send them to me.

• For everyone that has had a battle open since before the RoS or has started a battle since then, you'll notice that your weapon selections from the RoS (if you made any) are sitting at the top of the battle. Ignore them, as they were only intended to be used during the RoS. Please go by the weapons listed your the battle's intro post.

• As we did back in December, the ACC has once again gone through some staff changes. This is simply because the activity levels in the ACC have been low since the beginning of the school year, averaging two training battles a month across eight staff members. Because of this, several ACC Staff members are moving to a newly-formed Staff Reserve. All Staff Reservists are still considered members of the ACC Staff, but will be helping with staff duties on an as-needed basis rather than being "full-time".

• After lessons learned from judging battles in the RoS and some projects I had been working on before that event started, there has been another set of revisions to the ACC Handbook. Most of these revisions are under the CS Attributes section. Please read them carefully, as they will be affecting how battles are judged.

• Congrats to everyone for their hard work in the RoS, with a special mention to Revan for getting top place. Battles left over from the RoS are still being judged. Now that the standings are out, I'm giving Muz a hand clearing the backlog. I'm not entirely sure how soon they'll be finished, but I'm making it a top priority to do so, so hopefully it'll be cleared up in the next few days.

• Last but not least, congrats to Taig on spawning!

• With the number of Journeyman participants I've seen in both training battles and the Rite of Supremacy, I've decided to go ahead with a Journeyman Quick Skirmish Ladder. Exactly as the name says, this event will be organized into several rounds of single-elimination Quick Skirmish matches, with CFs and Crescents being awarded normally (pending approval from the MAA, of course). To give people time to get qualified that haven't already, the ladder will start on March 7, two weeks from today.

• In addition to the Journeyman competition, the ACC will be running its Fifth Championship League this spring, likely in April or May. Details for the format haven't been decided yet, but I'll be releasing more information as I have it.

So in short... we're doing stuff, well done to everyone in the RoS, and look for new things shortly. Stay tuned for the next report, and I'm looking forward to seeing all of you in the ACC!
