Greetings Folks,

Going to be a really short report today, got some stuff going on irl that is keeping me busy, as I'm sure we all do, but the bright side is that the horrordays are over for most of you. I hope Sithy Claus was nice and everyone got what they wanted. Onto the news.

ACC is Going Nuts

So yea, the ACC is pretty much exploding. I can't bug Mav to tell me the stories of his life over tea anymore, without being interrupted by random explosions of words like "force powers! Character sheets! Refractory Period Decay!" It really kills my broner pretty hard. But anyways, the ACC is chugging along slowly, and I've been seeing some people starting to take the new ACC Fundamentals Course.

There's been some other news posts about stuff like a whole crazy big guide to the ACC, and even some stuff about adding races (racists) to the ACC for Character Sheet Approval. So yea, personally I'm really looking forward to having the ACC Operating and stuff, not just for the added avenue of activity, but so I can have my Mavvles back. (PS: Welcome back home, jackass)

Happy New Years! Do all the things

The Herald was good to us this Sithmas

Sure, they call it Herald Style Hanukkah, but we all know it's called Sithmas. Anyways, it wound down for its final day on the 27th, and Orvles did some awesome work with man codpieces and big bottomed women (huzzah!). Also, for all his efforts in inspiring the Herald for some of the robe selections, Kazmir ended up getting himself a medal, so Huzzah to Kaz!

As usual, here's a wall of links to the awesome in order to help keep you warm in the nether regions.

• Herald Style Hanukah – Day 1
• Herald Style Hanukah – Day 2

Thanks again for all of your hard work on these Orv & Co. You're still bit of a nub to the HRLD position, and you got thrown into the fire with maybe the busiest time of the that Office's year… and you knocked it out of the park. Cheers, you mango hating weirdo!
