Greetings Tarenti!
Some big news tonight, so I'll jump right into it.
We have a new Aedile. I got a stellar application from GW Lyze Kiel in Odan Urr, who you may know better as Raiju. He's a former Tarenti, a friend, and a talented fiction writer. One of the main things I was looking for was someone who has a knack for weaving intriguing story arcs. My approach to running a House tends to be pretty nuts-and-bolts, but there's only so much sudoku and trivia we can do before folks start getting bored. The continuity of an ongoing story is what will keep things fresh and interesting.
Lyze has stepped up to help honor our many years of history with the Keepers and necromancy, and weave it into an exciting and engaging future wherever it may take us. I am wicked excited to have him on board. Welcome back into the darkness, brother.
We also have a new BTL for the Jen Kaari, our fiction-focused battle team. I got several good applications, but Anshar's stood out. Everybody knows him, so I don't think he needs much introduction except to say that I am more than confident that he knows what he's doing. He will also be helping out with the House fiction as well as running events to develop his battle team's fiction. He and I have already discussed a couple of interesting projects that are getting under way immediately. Stay tuned!
Dranik has stepped down as our Rollmaster due to some unforeseen circumstances in real life. I appreciate the work he did to help restructure the military, and his advice will be invaluable when the time comes to spend the points we earned during the Dark Crusade toward the end of the year.
For the time being I'm going to leave the Rollmaster position vacant while our new Aedile and BTL settle in.
This doesn't happen very often. A brand new Tribune position has been created. Its purpose is effectively to be the Dark Brotherhood's director of marketing. KP Xantros has taken up the mantle, and is currently hiring a small staff. If you're interested, his news post on the main site outlines what kind of person he's looking for, what to put in a successful application, and what kind of work he and his staff will be doing.
Personally, I think this is a terrific opportunity if you have any interest in learning about marketing and a great way to make official a task that has been "organic" (ie. largely ignored) for the DB's entire existence. If the new Recruitment Tribune and his team can do their jobs effectively, it's possible we could potentially see a great surge in new members from all kinds of different sources. It has the potential to do a tremendous amount of good for the club as a whole, and this is your chance to get in at the beginning of it.
Since my last report, a few of you guys have been busy racking up the CFs:
In addition to CFs, there have been a good number of crescents going out too:
Stay tuned for two new competitions beginning on October 26th. One is a scavenger hunt and the other is a short spooky Halloween fiction event (both are currently pending approval so I'll send out links when they are approved!)
