Greetings. We’ve been busy as a one-legged man in an @$$-kicking contest, Sadowans, and it definitely shows! I want to thank you all for remaining active and engaged here…some exciting things are on the horizon.

Firstly, I want to let you guys know that Teu’s Schools of Learning project is well underway…details will be forthcoming as to the exact structure, make-up and projected benefits, but this is a project that I’m throwing my full support behind. The SOL will be the place where you veterans can put your money where your mouths are…I hear a lot of “I’m here, and I’m helping the Journeymen…” out there. Here’s where you can show it.

Also, look forward to Sons of Sadow-sponsored competitions. The Sons are the Ideal, the Paragon, and we want to help you all become the End-all, Be-all of Excellence.

Big gaming news; those of you who want the same long-term benefits as posting in ‘Unrest…’(still ongoing, btw; more news on that in a minute) but don’t like to write, I have exciting news! The Gamers in Naga Sadow can look forward to an ongoing gaming competition, slated to begin April 1st! Keep your eyes peeled on the DB Competitions page for details. Further, I myself am sponsoring an IRC-based competition, which will be fast-and-furious! That begins the 21st, so don’t be remiss and miss out on getting some good awards!

Of course, I want you guys to continue to get ramped up for the Independence Games. As far as our major stuff? Thanks to the FIST, our ‘Unrest…’ runon has been parsed for easier reference. So, those of you who are looking to get caught up in the current happenings, there’s less for you to pick through…and for those of you looking for that ever-elusive ‘Major Task’ for promotions and the like, there’s a place for you to easily look to update, oh, I don’t know..a Wiki page or two? (hint, hint). Email me privately if that’s what you’re looking to do. Also, for those of you who are still a bit intimidated by the massiveness that is my..runon..I’ve got good news. Teu has enlisted the help of one of our favorites, recently returned to us. Ashia will be lending her extensive experience to our Rollmaster’s ‘Training-Run-On’ initiative.

That’s what we’re about, folks. Newbs looking to make their mark, and Vets not happy with their laurels. Heart you guys…really do.

All in all, a very full report, with none of that pesky ‘fiction’ that seems to rub some the wrong way. The guilty of conscious will post on the ‘Comments’, watch what I tells ya… ;)

In all seriousness, I’m aware of that li’l thing that sometimes keeps you from approaching me, or any other of your leaders. I wish that weren’t the case, as I and the rest of us leader-types are to help you have YOUR best time here. So, in an effort to increase my accessibility, I’ve opened one of those handy-dandy Formspring accounts! There, you can ask me questions, anonymously if you wish, and get honest answers. Here’s my info: http://formspring.me/AfroJedi

Who knows? If I get some good questions, I may have to start up my new feature where they’ll be showcased for all to see: Pick The ‘Fro!

Can ya dig it? I knew that you could…
