Welcome

Hey all, time for another report from your friendly (and CANADIAN) Aedile, Noobis. There's a lot to go through, so lets just cut straight to the chase. For the sake of keeping the report as short as possible, all the points will be in point form. We ready? Yeah? Lets go, first header!

Mmm...Brai-I mean... Newwwwwss...

• Deputy Grand Master - The old foggy Grand Master Sarin has been chosen to once again join the Dark Council, leaving his position of Aedile of Independent House Revan to become Deputy Grand Master. Most of us know Sarin, and we wish him luck in the new (but really, old) position.

• Herald - As Vodo said earlier, Shik's amazing. Also, be sure to check out Sid's new custom saber here if you haven't seen it already!

• Taldrya - Sid and Var are now Sons of Taldryan! Congratulaaaate! Oh wait... you already did.

• House Dinaari Aedile - Shadow Taldrya, a long standing member (and leader) of Clan Taldryan stepped down recently, from the position of Dinaari Aedile.

• Asani Vosa - If you haven't heard, long time member of Taldryan and Scholae Palatinae passed away during the Rite of Supremacy. She was present in a car crash on ice, her vehicle colliding that of a drunk driver. Another member, Lokasena, was present in the vehicle at the time. He suffered several injuries, and lived to pass on the information to House and Clan leaders alike. Our prayers are with you, Sena, and we deeply feel sorry for your loss. Come back when you're ready - not a millisecond sooner.

• Master at Arms - Kaek has retired as Master at Arms for the second time in a row, and left the DB permanently. We wish him luck in life, and hope to see his biased butt on IRC some in the future to catch-up.

• Big Changes - There are going to be some big changes within the clan in the future, be ready!

Yay! Awards! Damn it. :P

• RoS Participation - I love you guys. Really. The fact that you, the JOURNEYMAN, almost provided over 90% of the Ektrosis participation for the RoS just amazes me. I had a wonderful timing looking over all your submissions and critiquing your work (some of them were really good). Already, a slew of Seals of Bone have been awarded for participation during the RoS (and I believe Novae have as well), and I'm honest to god proud to be your Aedile. Way to pull together, guys.

• Merit Awards - Many of us received Merit Metals for hard work during the Rite. Congratulations to all of you, especially Rian Aslar who earned a Grand Cross of the Dark Side on a job well done, and I can't wait to see you all back in action once more.

• Regular Competitions - Regular competitions have started back up again. Get out there and earn some crescents!

Promooooooootions....

• ** Yay!** A few people got promoted, but one I'd like to highlight the most (And I'll receive crap for later) is Sidarace's promotion. He's been a great leader to all of us, and he's been in office for... well... a long time. Lets keep it at that. I was more then happy to write my recommendation, and I don't believe it'll be long before I'm doing it again!

NOMNOMNOM Competitions

• Where can I find the ones that matter to me? - Right here!

• Tal.net Competitions Page - Pretty soon, myself and Sidarace will be sure to update this so we can use the sexy Tal site more. Yeaaaaaaah....

Finally...

I know... way too short. I get it. Well, first off... I'm looking for some new report headers. I've become bored with mine, and Vodo's/Vorion's are sooo much better, it's bugging me. Speaking of Vodo... You bastard! You forgot MY Merit Medal on the list today! Anyways. If you'd like to see if you've got what it takes to impress me with shiny new banners and maybe even get a shiny out of it... Open Photoshop and get to work. :D If you don't, well that's okay too. I have Photoshop. =P

It's been really slow lately, which is not good. We really need to pick it up, people. We've got several competitions going, and Rian's attempting to breath some life back into Phoenix. If we're all properly motivated, I know that we can keep this clan going. For Taldryan!
