I.A little about me: Ive been a member of this outstanding club for over 5 years and for those that have the joy of being around me remember Im really easy to deal with, I do have limits however. Im strict and like to get the tasks done for this club and move on. Im just like any of you in that I enjoy this club, and enjoy gaming and only want the best for us. I am also a college student, going for a Bachelors Degree in Electrical Engineering. I will be around gaming from time to time when it will allow for it. If you need anything feel free to pm or email me my email is ([Log in to view e-mail addresses]). Im also on mIRC under Smoke20 Smoke14 Smoke-fist or Maar my character is SBL Maar-Tyrius Ga-Tir for those that dont recall the Smoke trademark. Now into the major part of the scheme of things.

II.Gaming servers: We are currently in the process of finding and securing some servers. I would however like to take a moment and sincerely thank two members that have hosted our gaming for us. For Jedi Outcast, Duga has been there for some time and its been a godsend to have that server. For Jedi Academy, Arkin has hosted a server for us. Without these peoples dedication to our club we wouldn’t have gotten this far. So you both have my thanks If your plans are to reinstate your servers please email Muz, Sarin and I so we can make sure we dont have duplicates. Also for those that are the true die-hards in this club and would be willing to help with the cost. This is done by your generosity only no promotions or awards can be given out for such. Just this clubs thanks!!!! So far I have went through 16 different websites for hosting and have found a few good ones.

III.Grand Masters Royal Guard: Not sure if I should comment on this until Im directed to, just know that it is in the works at the moment. This is coming out, and sounds interesting and different than anything you have seen in the past of the Royal Guard.

IV.I.C.T.E: Held on Saturdays as usual in #outerrim. I will be getting some contacts lined up and communicating with the different clubs so they understand what is going on at this point. If anyone has those contacts I would appreciate them. Otherwise I will be just going to the sites and tracking it down myself. My plan is not to change anything with this as it has run fine for years without any hiccups. Cluster of Fire and the Crescents still of the same level in the past. These will also be awarded at the conclusion of the event. Unless something prevents me. Then I will wait till Sunday to handle them.

V.Awards: All Pennants of Blood (PoB) and Clusters of Fire (CF) are awarded up to May 15th. Congrats to all that received the medals and awards. I will be awarding during the week on Tuesdays and Fridays, as with anything in life if I happen to be delayed it will be the day after the fore mentioned days. Pennants of Blood will be awarded however on the Monday concluding that week. Right now we are back on track with the medals being award for the week beginning on Sunday and ending Saturday.

VI.Gaming Events: As of right now with the lack of events It will be a short amount of time before I will run anything. This does not stop anyone from still playing Empire at War, either of the Battlefront series, X-Wing Alliance, X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter, or Republic Commando. I have some ideas on the plate and have run a few ideas past Muz and Sarin for discussion. My main competition that I will look at was a previous idea I had while serving as Tribune. Those details will be released when I put the final touches on the competition and thus have it approved. Some will say We play the same old games, we want other platforms I wont disagree that Lucas Arts messed this one up, but look to the horizon Im one for using something that is close to what we as a group which is Star Wars, and yes thats limiting. Ive seen some mods for other games that incorporate other platforms. I may go as far as having some single player missions used. This however has to be discussed with the Dark Council for approval.

VII.Gaming Days: For the time being they still are running 24/7 and I do require people to make a showing in #DBGaming per the Rights of Combat to earn the medals for the games.

VIII.Current Platforms: Id like to take a moment and thank Archangel for finding some mods for other games that put them into the Star Wars Genre, Thanks greatly appreciated it. Also he has in the past put a post on ToRs forum page promoting the Brotherhood. Thanks!!

IX.ToR and BF3: Claims that this will be released in the first quarter of 2011, but dont hold your breath on that. Yes I did say BF3. There are rumors flying that a new Battle Front series will be brought out. At this point its more rumors since the videos look funny. June will be the E3 convention and the plan is supposed to be released then. BF3 is slated if the rumor is correct around October 2010. More will follow on these. Sadly I did find a snippet of information of denied games and the Jedi Knight Series was on that list, but nothing was said about Republic Commando, or any flight simulator (XvT and XWA)

Ive touched on a few plans and what I know in the last 12 hours. More will follow when I get some stuff answered and put together more formal report out. ~SBL Ma`ar-Tyrius Ga-Tir
