TARENTUM PROCONSUL REPORT 9

SBM Proton, 5-28-02

May the creeping mists of our castle envelop you. Welcome to the clan proconsul's latest report. Let's get to the news, and get you out of here quickly so you can continue in your dark activities:

PROCON NOTES

-- The db site has a new look! Check it out:

http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.org/dbjedi/news.asp

-- Looks like the clans will be producing recruiting brochures, something that prospective DB members and new members can review to help them decide which clan to join. CON Ciara is taking the lead on this and I will try to help if she needs. Also, I suspect we will need some graphics skill, so if you are able to help on this, please let Ciara and I know.

-- SBL Domi stepped down as QUA of Tridens. We wish him well and look forward to the announcement of a new QUA for the Sith house.

-- Project Thallium -- Has kind of a spooky air to it, doesn't it? Stay tuned for more details on this, something emanating from the DGM's office. It has to do with strengthening the DB's battleteams.

-- Lots of additional discussion about elite battleteams, battleteam sizes, functions, etc., and lots of discussion about rank promotion requirements, rank caps, etc. Watch for details and decisions.

-- JK/2 players, there is an editor out. This from OWL Sharad Hett:

The editor includes: JK2Radiant - the map editor, MD3View - model viewer for .md3 format models, ModView - model viewer for .glm (Ghoul2) format model, ShaderEd2 - the shader editor/viewer, and sof2map - the map compiler, which is only used via JK2Radiant. Below is the link.

BROTHERHOOD NEWS

-- Extended Leave

Posted by OBL Sharad Hett - 5/28/2002 [12:11:55 PM]

I'll be on extended leave of absence for the next 3 weeks. This week's tourney will be 2v2 nf sabers and the next week will be 1v1 nf guns. The host will be Hawk, so be there! All CFs and such directed to me should be sent to Yacko instead and if it's from the TC and they don't send it to him, then you'll have to wait to get them. :P Have fun all, seeya!

-- Grand Master Report

Posted By GM Firefox - 5/25/2002

1) As you can now see, the Dark Brotherhood has a new look. The winning design is now the default for the website. Remember that you can select the other two from the Layout Options on the menu (including the previous design).

2) As most of the members of the Dark Brotherhood know by now, Obelisk Warlord Sharad Hett was recently sent to the High Court of the Inquisitors for some IRC infractions. The HCI found him guilty and ordered him to be demoted by one rank and he cannot have Ops for a period of 2 months. In addition, he is on probation for a period of 6 months following the end of the Ops ban.

This is especially bad considering that Sharad is a Dark Council member and he should have known better. He had been recommended for a reward for his work as Obelisk High Commander at about the same time as the trial and this reward is now lost.

Do not forget that the HCI and the Security Officer are always watching and will not hesitate to prosecute anyone to the fullest extent of the Emperor's Hammer laws.

3) It is with great regret that I am forced to remove Krath Epis Alex from the position of Consul of Clan Naga Sadow. He was absent for a long time and despite repeated promises, he is still not back to active duty. I realize that sometimes life doesn't allow time for the duties of the Dark Brotherhood, but considering the shape that Clan Naga Sadow is in I cannot afford to be patient.

This should be a message to the leaders of the Dark Brotherhood. If you cannot do your duties, you will have to be removed for the good of the Clan. It is something that I hate to do, but I will do it when necessary.

Astatine and I will be accepting applications for the position of Consul of Clan Naga Sadow. I am not going to tell you what to put in the application because the applicants should know what to expect from such a position and from the shape the Clan is in. People who are not willing to put in a massive amount of work and an impressive amount of effort should stay clear of this one.

-- Sith Wars Final Results

Posted by SWL Keirdagh Cantor - 5/27/2002 [8:09:35 PM]

Here are the Final Results for the Sith Wars:

After a long fought three way battle, House Archanis has secured, and defended it's holding of the title, The First House of the Sith. Caliburnus has risen to the Second House of the Sith, and possibly, in the greatest leap seen in Brotherhood History, House Ronin of Clan Alvaak has arrived, and secured for itself, the title Third House of the Sith, the first such title ever to be bestowed upon Clan Alvaak, after the great Clanning. Well done everyone!

Here are the event by event breakdown of scores.

House Archanis

Ev I: 16

Ev II: 7.5

Ev III: 20

Ev IV: 82

Ev III: 47

Ev IV: 13

Ev IV: 9

Tot: 42

House Tridens

Ev I: 10

Ev II: 6

Ev III: 1

Ev IV: 25

Tot: 42

In the Battleteam race... a strong showing (and I mean strong) has stolen the rights to a new starfighter from House Caliburnus' Nightstalker Squadron, and landed those rights in the laps of Hyperion Flight of House Archanis, one of the oldest Squadrons in the Brotherhood. Archanis/Hyperion, I'll be mailing you about details later, as will I be with Nightstalker and Harbinger (the third place Squad) about those "future considerations" I mentioned on the Sith Wars Website.

Here is the final score of the Battleteam Scoring:

Hyperion

Ev III: 5

Ev IV: 69

Total: 74

Nightstalker

Ev III: 40

Ev IV: 1

Total: 41

Ev IV: 0

Total: 1

Now, some of you might object to this scoring for Event IV. I know for a fact I put some N/As in there for people who do have Squads but did not list them. You may see this as unfair, I do not. If you are unable to follow the simple instructions of "Put your Battleteam name in your EMAIL" then I am not going to grant you any leniency. If this cost your Squadron points that could have been used to win the competition, hopefully you learned your lesson.

That's it folks, and Well Fought.

-- JK2 Tourney Host(s) Needed

Posted by OBL Sharad Hett - 5/26/2002 [5:39:44 PM]

I'm not going to be able to host the next few tourneys, so I need hosts. You MUST be able to guarantee you will be able to host. Tourneys usually last from about 3-5 PM EST on Saturdays in #obelisk, sometimes longer. It also requires a pretty good amount of effort and comes quick as it's only about 2 hours. You MUST be a regular mIRC user to run this. You will earn a DC for each time you successfully host a tourney. Please email me if you're interested.
