1) First of all, I have decided to reinstate the Knight Commander of the Brotherhood, Trevarus Caerick. He acted impulsively and immediately retracted his resignation. I believe he will do a great job as KCB and that to me is worth more than my bruised ego.

2) I did the most difficult thing of my EH career tonight. I told DJM Shaitan that his services as Deputy Grand Master were no longer needed. Shaitan is a good man and he served as DGM before and as KHP as well. It really was difficult for me to do this. I didn't do this lightly. But I felt that my DGM had to perfectly complement my weaknesses and bring in skills that the Dark Brotherhood needs to grow and expand.

3) As my new DGM, I have chosen Dark Jedi Primarch Astatine. He has my complete trust and he has great expertise in the areas of training and competitions. His ASP skills will also be of great help to the Dark Brotherhood. Most are more familiar with his abrupt attitude. But you should also realize that he is honest, hard working and will settle for no less than the best. This in my eyes makes him the ideal person for DGM.

4) Astatine and I [Log in to view e-mail addresses] will start taking applications for the job of Sith High Warrior. Obviously, the job requires a great level of commitment and interest for the Sith. We are mostly looking for a long time Sith with experience on the Battle Team and House levels. Be aware that every applicant who passes the first screening process will have to pass an IRC interview as well.

5) Until a new SHW is chosen, all pilot files and problems with the Sith ladder should still come to me.

6) With the resignation of the Commander of the Guard, OWL Telaris, we will also be taking applications for the position of CoG. This person has to have a great familiarity with Jedi Knight, knowledge of MODs and skins, and be prepared to work with the OHC on a variety of projects. Send all applications to the 2 email addresses above.

7) Do not forget to post your comments on the DB message board. http://mb.ehnet.org/mb.php?action=topics&forum_id=5&days=5 We want your input on the Dark Council, the Shadow Academy and Competitions.

8) Finally, many people know me. But for those who do not know me, I have been in this club for close to 5 years. Over 4 in the Dark Brotherhood. I have served as Sith Battle Team leader, Aedile, Quaestor and then spent about 2 years as Sith High Warrior. I have spent 2 years as Commodore of the SSD Avenger and 2 months as BGCOM of the newly formed Avenger Task Force.

Anyone who worked with me for any length of time can attest to the fact that I am fair, honest and full of ideas. I am almost always present on IRC and I answer all mails sent to me. Don't hesitate to contact me at any time. I will always be glad to talk to a member of the Dark Brotherhood.
