My Brothers and Sisters of the Royal House, The great neutralization of The Cause is now completed. The central leadership is destroyed, and many of its members killed in the combat. We have faced some great destruction over the last several years at the hands of these terrorists. Now is the time for us to rebuild, to return stronger and better then ever! Those members who were captured are as of this moment being punished for their crimes against the empire. They will suffer for a long time to come. Now is the time for our system to unify and move forward. This royal house will again be strong. This was a great challenge but we over came. We will endure for a long time. This is the dawn of a new day for this house.

Report Time! As you all should have noticed, our house event, The Neutralization, is now at an end. The only remaining loose end is to finish the runon, which I hope all of you go and participate in still. We are moving beyond the intel collection and slowly turning to taking down The Shadow. I want to thank everyone who participated in this event. I also want to highlight Kael Fayne who did an incredible job not only in the quantity but the quality of his submissions. I hope that everyone who participated had a great time. I had a blast seeing what you all did here and I hope to improve upon these kinds of things in the future. That said I so have a short survey I would appreciate it if you filled out about this event. It is found here. As I am sure a lot of you know, this was my first time attempting such an event, and I would greatly appreciate feed back on it! We had some good participation on this event, but I want to know what I can do to to get even more participation from you all in the future.

Now I don’t want you to think that just because this event is over with, that there is nothing to do. Here are some currently running competitions you should all look at! FIST Competitions: Halo Reach Tournament BF2 Space Only RC Teamup Special Event: Sins of Solar Empire Starcraft 2 VOICE Competitions: Load the Can(n)ons #6 Bi-weekly Mission #1 Bows and Arrows Will You Be My Valentine?

On the news front, there is a few things to take note about. Firstly, The promotion requirement to be promoted to an EQ3 rank now has training an apprentience to DJK. This is the only set in stone requirement for this rank. Everyone DJK-EQ2 should make note of this, if they wish to progress further. Secondly, Applications for P: and M:VOICE. The deadline for this has been extended to Febuary 13th. If you would like an opportunity to serve in either of these positions, please get your applications in soon. Thirdly, Ask the GM, is a handy site where you can anonymously ask our GM a question and he will answer it. So far questions range from serious to silly. So basically anything goes. Finally, The AWOL Check. This is now over, and all of the houses have shed some weight. HSP is now sitting proudly in the middle of the pack in regards to numbers. Those of us who remain need to maintain a strong and active membership if we hope to survive.

That is all I have for right now. I don’t want to suck up too much of your time. With the house event over I am going to be addressing some new projects. If you have any feed back on what you would like to see from me or areas I can improve on please email me about it. -XenMordin Vismorsus Aedile of Scholae Palatinae
