Again, there's quite a lot of stuff this week!

1: The Great Krath War has ended! I'd like to offer my congratulations to the top three Houses: Ektrosis, Aleema and Acclivis Draco. Just a quick note, I'm not planning on running any major competitions for the next few months, which should give all Houses time to run their own competitions. I look forwards to seeing what you guys come up with. ;)

2: As some of you may know by now, my Praetor and Quaestor of House Aleema, KPN Arion Sunrider, stepped down earlier this week due to issues in real life. He will be sorely missed within the Order, and we wish him every success in the future. In the meantime, my new Praetor is KE Cuchulain of Scholae Palatinae.

3: Monthly Topics continue! Obviously with Arion's resignation, please just send your entries to [Log in to view e-mail addresses]. The Story Topic this month is Redemption. You need to write about a page minimum of 12 point font, and submit to me in .doc, .rtf or .txt format. The Poem Topic is "Love of the Dark", and your entry should be written as lyric poetry; submit in .doc, .rtf, .txt or even email body format - if you're unsure of how to write lyric poetry, then go to http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.org/krath/focus/. ;) Don't forget that these are due in by 11.59pm EST on 31st March.

4: The Big Script Competition continues. You just need to write a movie script of about 5 pages long and send it in to [Log in to view e-mail addresses] by 11.59pm EST on 1st April. We're hoping to get the winning scripts made into actual videos/motion pictures by the end of the year. You can work in teams on these, and remember, the movies will probably only be about 10-15 minutes long at the most! Also, just as a reminder, all graphics geniuses who want to get involved in making the movies should contact both myself and KAP Kelvis Xavier at the above email addresses.

5: Following some complaints about the way marking was conducted in the Krath War, I and the Krath Summits have been looking into the way that this marking is done. We look to have a fairly finalised proposal now done, which I will be sending on to GM Firefox and DGM Astatine for approval this weekend.
