** -> ## State of the House <- ** Welcome to the House Plagueis Quaestor Report! We Are Plagueis, and We Are Strong! #### The Dark Crusade

The last chapter of Phase One is complete. Plagueis did about as we'd expected, given that four of our contributors that had gone max entries in the previous rounds were unable to contribute due to real life issues. As such, we stand a good chance to come in second, as Taldryan has proved to be a most difficult opponent. ## Changes to the House Leadership

As I'm sure many of you know by now, it's been two years since I officially took control of Plagueis as Quaestor. Technically, I've been running it longer since I was running it without a Quaestor for nearly two months. In the time since then, I've been promoted twice, picked up a woman who loves me and takes whatever time I'm not spending at work, which has become 50 or more hours a week some weeks. As such, I'm officially tendering my resignation.

It's been a long run, and a really good one. We made Plagueis history in taking the first two Chapters of the Dark Crusade, showing that when Plagueis puts its mind to it, it can really compete. We've seen ten people Knighted since I took over Plagueis, and almost as many elevations into and throughout the Equite ranks.

I'd like to take this time to thank the people who have been instrumental in allowing me to make it this for, and in helping the House to survive. Braecen Kaeth for stepping up initially as Roll Master in the first go-round. Unus for replacing him, and then coming up with an amazing idea. Dude, you created Primus Pilus. You did outstanding things in terms of competitions and making the House get up and go. Thank you. Sarak Shai stepped up into the Aedile slot, and did an excellent job. Between creating competitions, doing project and wiki work, you really helped craft the ideas and changes we wanted to see used to build on top of the fictional work Unus was doing with Primus Pilus. Kal, coming back was a godsend when you did. You did amazing work as well, taking over control of Primus Pilus, making sure everyone was getting seen too, helping to focus the fictional direction and developing the base ideas we embraced. Solus, your contributions are staggering. Between the outright project work you did, the fleet restructuring, the motivational work you did by leading as an example and in helping others get the job done, it was exceptional. Eiko, you did a fantastic job as Roll Master, getting the membership to open up to you, and to all of us. Arden and Alaris, you guys really helped us get the most out of the House by encouraging your BT members to compete for the sake of being the best, and they really rose to the occasion. Thanks to all of you, this House was a place where people came to relax and enjoy themselves, and it has shown the dividends in the First Two Chapters of the Dark Crusade. <p> At the same time, it's not been perfect. I've made several mistakes along the way, which lead to delayed promotions for at least one member (Sorry Kuro), and increased difficulty between Plagueis and other units. As such, I hope that in stepping down and passing the torch, all such issues should die immediately. It's been a learning experience, and one I hope that my successor can learn from. As of this writing, I've not yet received confirmation from Muz on how he wishes to proceed. As such, he will decide what is best for the House in determining how to replace me.</p> ## In Closing <p>It's been a blast folks. I'll see you around every once in a while.</p>
