We have seen few important events taking place since my last report. Let’s deal with them!
The Shadow Academy staff has done brilliant work with introducing new SA courses, which have been primarily designed to new members of our club in learning the basics of how the Brotherhood works. It gives an opportunity to earn two new Dark Side Degrees – Pundits, which are a little bit lower than Dark Mavens. If you have not taken these courses yet, give it a try. They are easy and take no more than half an hour to take all of them.
We are seeing the start of another Chapter of the Dark Crusade starting very soon. Get prepped and ready. We face Naga Sadow only, so while it still remain a challenge, we have reasonable chance to be victorious and finally conquer a planet, where we will be able to conduct even more of our shady businesses and to expand the rule of the New Order. For the Empire!
OP Xan Phraz-Etar and KP Flelmo have returned to active service in our House. With their experience and skills, they will be excellent additions to our General Forces during the upcoming Chapter of the Dark Crusade. Perfect timing, guys! Welcome back!
Our Special Forces team for this round of the Dark Crusade consists of Mayda, Evant, Eether, Dante, Archangel, Koryn, Xen’Mordin and me. However, we strongly encourage you to take part in the Dark Crusade, no matter if you are in the SF team or the GF team, because you still have a chance to earn some Novae and your participation provides our House additional fleet points to be exchanged for new ships. Having more ships in the fleet means more fictional roles to be fulfilled by you and will lead to more fun, when it comes to our plans, which we have for the time, when the Dark Crusade is finally over.
I am glad to once again mention Archangel. He has very recently been promoted to the rank of Sith Battlelord. It is a great honour to be promoted to the one of the ranks in the Equite 3 tier and requires a lot of work. It makes us even prouder, because Archangel has excelled far beyond what is necessary to deserve it. Congratulations!
I would like to congratulate Moloch Argantes, who has been promoted to the rank of Jedi Hunter. He just needs to get one promotion to become a Dark Jedi Knight. Excellent work!
Infamouz and JaySIN Dajas have received their very first promotions to the rank of Novice. Well done!
Mayda Ferium has been awarded an Anteian Cross for her excellent service to the House, including hosting few competitions in-between the Chapters of the Dark Crusade. Thank you!
We are doing the final works over the revised Titles of Nobility. We hope that the system will be relaunched in less than two weeks, so everything may be counted up by the end of August. We are sure that you will enjoy the Titles of Nobility and some priviledges, which are bound to them.
Other projects, including Wiki articles revamp, progress in a slow pace, due to the Dark Crusade and other matters to be dealt with.
Today, I have realized that due to quiet time with HSP Wiki project, I have missed the ending term of previous Wiki team. Thus, it is the high time to give an opportunity to other members of our House. Below there is the reminder of requirements.
The team is going to consist of three or four members, depending on the number and quality of applications. Candidates must fulfill the following requirements:
Writing abilities - one's pieces of writing must be readable. We do not require perfect writing skills, but practical knowledge of grammar and spelling rules is required. Attaching one piece of writing ( up to 1 page, TMR 12, any topic ) is not necessary, but shall be highly appreciated and useful for evaluation.
Completed Wiki course - one needs to know basics of Wiki editing. 85% or higher score preferred, but not necessary
Wiki article - we require one article to be available on the DJB Wiki, for the purposes of evaluating one’s skills in this aspect. Lenght and topic of the article are up to the candidates, but it has to include quite detailed data and be properly formatted.
Rank requirement - holding the rank of Protector is preferred, but if you believe that you do have necessary qualities and you may prove this claim, we may bypass this requirement.
Persistence - it is a responsible job to be a member of the Wiki team. One cannot apply and neglect one's duties, if picked up into the team. One need to be persistent and ready to serve throughout whole term, especially in the first two terms ( lot of work with updating old articles )
Creativity - creating new Wiki articles requires the ability to come up with new ideas, either it would be a suggestion for new article or an ability to add more details to the articles.
If you decide to take up this job, you shall receive certain benefits. In return of your work for the community, we offer you:
An opportunity to learn and develop your skills - it is a chance for you to improve your skills in the area of writing and Wiki editing. We shall provide you suggestions and hints on your way of working, so that you may increase your knowledge and develop your abilities more easily.
Suitable awards - through serving our community, you will be given an award for your work and dedication. It is yet to be decided what type of award it shall be, but you may be sure that you will not get disappointed.
Helpful environment - we shall do our best to support you in your works and provide you advice and any help, which you will need to be successful at this job, including professional and friendly atmosphere.
Post-term credentials - after your term is finished, we will provide you credentials for further use in the future applications. This paper shall include detailed description of your duties and our opinion on your work
Remember that through the service to the House, you may earn merit awards and promotions. It is particularly true for Dark Jedi Knights and Equites, as they need to do something more than just merely be active to earn a promotion.
It is going to be an interesting and busy time. Hopefully, we will defeat Naga Sadow and conquer a planet for us. Similarly to the additional fleet points, new planet would have great meaning for us. It would open brand new possibilities for fictional development for both the lore of our House and the background of your characters.
However, no matter of the outcome of the Dark Crusade, I can guarantee that you will have no time to get bored. Apart from the GJW planned for the Summer next year, we have two big events in plans. One will probably take place between the Crusade and the GJW, while the other one some time after the GJW, so that you are not overwhelmed with the amount of competitions to take part in.
I am sure that you will enjoy both events, as their fictional background is going to be awesome. They are going to give you a lot of various events to take part in and to develop your DJB characters. But more importantly, you will have some real fun, because I know that you are awesome!
