Greetings Members of Black Hammer Brigade,

Well, the last time I spoke to you I dared all of you to enter into a competition that I had running. Well, I know that times can be rough and inactive, and I give you that, but we had one member submit to every part of the competition. His name is JScumm. Not only has he submitted to my competitions, he has earned many CFs, he has earned Pendants of Blood (yes, plural), Seals of Bone, and a Crescent with Topaz Star. In other words, he is one of the awesomest epic pwnstars of Arcona. And thus, he has eanred the illustriously violent Canderous Hammer of Black Hammer Brigade.

Other than this I would like to congratulate Marick/Walls on becoming DJK, Inarya on becoming DJK (and Sukhur's Legion's new BTL), and Mr. Sang on becoming a Templar (the rank, not the medieval usage).

Now I want to talk about something else. I wanted to speak about the future of the BT. I came into this job expecting at least a few members to be active within the BT. I have one person that submitted ideas to me and another who became the only one to enter my competitions. I want to work with you all, but what can I do anymore. I can always send a personal email again, but that might not even do the trick. I might even get chewed out for saying this, but if you guys don't want to be active, then why should I help you in any way? Zod is the only one who sent me ideas of improving the BT. JScumm is the only one submitting to comps. Inarya talked with me about things, but she left to command Sukhur's Legion. Sometimes in these reports I feel like when I want to talk to the BT, I get a brick wall. Only when I send you a personal message entitled, "To [name here] From Your Battle Team Leader, Luciferus" do I get results.

In the end, a BTL is not here to hold your hand. All of you aren't Acolytes anymore, you all know your way around here. You all know the ins and outs of the Brotherhood. So tell me, and I'm not saying "so tell me" as some kind of rhetorical question, I mean, SO TELL ME what do you expect from me? What do you want to see from me? Because like I said in my last report, this BT is a car. I am the engine; you are the people pumping the gas. If you don't give me some fuel to burn the shit out of progression, then there's no way we can go further. I'm not even asking for entries into a competition. I am asking you to hit "reply" (not "reply to all") and tell me what you want and what you expect? I have emailed you all three times before individually; now it's your turn . . . so what's it gonna be?

And Mage, request yourself to the mailing list so I don't have to separate the emails every time.

Luciferus "Scyrone" Leviathan 6352 Leader of Black Hammer Brigade
