-> Sapphire Today

January 25, 2001

Greetings,

Another extremely eventful week, which makes these reports so easy to do.

1. House Ludo Kressh vs. House Oriens Obscurum

We Won! Was their any doubt about it. One clan down, only five to go.

As I noted this week, but deserves another mention. Sapphire squadron went all out to assure HLK of a victory including two second place finishes. Hell of a job guys.

2. Squadron Competition

The "Who the Hell are You?" Competition

One of my first goals when I took the Squadron commander position was to make sure we are always doing something. So since currently we just finished two flying tasks, I thought we would do something a little different. So after a few suggestions I have decided we will have a profile competition.

Now I know that the squadron webpage has one already for most of you. But most are just me compiling a bunch of information from different sources about you. And most are just the basic everyday look of a thousand other profiles. So what I'm looking for are very orginal and detailed profiles.

I've been working on mine the last couple of days to give you guys an idea of what you can do.

Ideas:

Pictures; especially of what your character looks like.

Ship; details on where you got it and its qualities.

DB Career; what you have done so far in the Dark Brotherhood.

Dark Jedi career; anything you have learned in the Dark Side.

The things you can add are endless.

Now, how you submit it is entirely up to you. If you have HTML skill you can make it a webpage or you can just send me it in a txt/doc file (and if you have pictures attach them). Or if you have another idea, let me know, I'm real open on this.

This competition starts today and will end February 10th. All submissions should be sent to DJK Bob-Fett at [Log in to view e-mail addresses].

I will judge the entries and the top 3 will get the following awards:

First Place: A Badge of Glory and points towards the HLK point system

Second Place: A Badge of Honor and points towards the HLK point system

Third Place: A Badge of Merit and points towards the HLK point system

I would like to see a high turnout for this competition. Good Luck all.

4. House Motto and Nickname

I really want to get these done so other projects such as banners can be made. So here are the suggestions so far, Let me know your favorite. The ones with the most votes...are it.

Motto: "No One Stands in Our Way" - JH CrimsonAngel

Nickname: The Dark Archers - GRD Karimicus

Nickname: Dark Bowmen - GRD Karimicus

Motto: "We Shower our Opponents with Death" - GRD Karimicus

Motto: We Shine Bright, Fly Brighter" - PRT Jaguar

Nickname: The Ramblers - DJK Bob-Fett

Motto: "Alright Ramblers, Lets get Rambling" - DJK Bob-Fett

Okay, so pick a nickname and a motto and let me know your choice. Vote!

5. New Member and Promotion

Sapphire has gained yet ANOTHER new member. Everyone please make Guardian Karimicus feel at home. He has transfered from Emerald squadron and will take a place in Flight III. So that leaves Sapphire with only one open spot. With a full roster the pressure is indeed on us to produce.

And Flight Member Jaguar, after only a short time in the squad, has gained enough points to be promoted to Protector. Congrats. I know a few others are going to be promoted within the next couple of weeks, so keep up the good work people.

You guys are truly becoming the elite of House Ludo Kressh. But theres still quite alot of work in front of us, so lets not get to comfortable yet. But its always nice to catch the Consul's eye; as long as its for something good. Keep it up.

Out.
