Dark Greetings Naga Sadow,

Well... What is there to say... Not much, not much at all. We quite literally just finished the 2nd round of Dark Crusade. What I feel I needed to say has already been said in that regard, but I suppose it can't hurt anything to repeat it.

Thank you all.

You guys really brought it this round, no matter what happens we should all be proud of that. All we can do is keep it up and keep pushing harder in the future. You guys made me proud.

With the mushy stuff out of the way, let's see what's going on around town.

If you've been paying attention to the news page, you would see two things. Our humble and hermit-style Senechal has put out a report. What's in it? Read it! But, seriously, you can check out the more open beta iteration of the new DJB site. Say what you will about design, from a functionality standpoint it is infinitely superior to what we are using now. Smooth and fast. That be how I like it.

Then we have the Shadow Academy report! Now that the Crusade is on the off season, we have time to get some Dark Side degrees! Some of these tests are actually pretty useful, so there is no harm in doing them. So go do them.

If you have an idea for a useful course, why don't you hit up Solari with an email outlining your idea. You never know, it might get approved!

Well, Dark Crusade just ended and won't return for a bit. Instead, we shall be having the Independence Games 2013 next month! There will be lots to do, and we ain't going to beat you over the head to do them either! This one is entirely about the fun factor, so you only answer to yourself.

Huh, what's this? Man, I still have this link here don't I? Well, it remains. Like I said, it is part of my template, and I'm nothing if not efficient [read: lazy] so it stays! To get a lovely sorted list, make sure you are logged in to the DB website and click this bad boy!

Below I shall list only that which has slipped through my email since March 1st, 2013 (with some minor honorable mentions). It may not look as much as normal, but hey... Dark Crusade does that.

Huh... So there was more on that list than I expected. Good going guys! Still being productive even with the Crusade on top of your heads!

We have a good thing running here, and there is no reason to just let it go. We have a brand new fictional direction planned for Naga Sadow which, pending approval, should be good fun. We also will be announcing the new Black Guard retinue as soon as we finish going through the numbers and breaking things down. There may be a lot of ties on this one, so we'll have to pull some outside metrics to make this as reasonable as possible in determining.

Once more, thank you all, and keep kicking ass.
