"And this too shall pass"

Firstly I am aware that my decision comes with little warning to everyone, especially MD, Proton and Ciara. If it hadnt been for their help during my time as Quaestor, I'm sure things would be different. Having said that, I'm sure you are all guessing what I'm talking about.

Simple. Effect immediately, I'm stepping down as Quaestor of House Tridens. I have always been proud of leading this great House and always tried to help everywhere needed, but in recent times, I have found my dedication somewhat less then satisfactory (for me). I believe a leader should not ask those under his command to do something he is unwilling to do himself and I fear as time goes, so will me dedication. Hence my decision.

Until a new Quaestor is appointed, I ask MD to lead Tridens as Acting-QUA and that the BattleTeam Commanders help out. My recommendation for QUA is AED Murkrow Defender whose record clearly speaks for itself, but as always the final decision to apply for the position is his and I will respect his decision.

Onto matters for this week.

The Feud results are finally out and although Tridens did come last, it was not to a lack of activity. Unfortunately, Arcona had simply better pilots then us on the day, but we proved we are a house to contend with. So thank you to everyone who participated and congrats to Ace Hobbes for earning 2nd place in the XWA SP and a big congrats to MD for earning 1st place in the Space BattlePlan. I must point out that House Gladius kicked butt! Their big victory in the Krath Section was helped by an outstanding performance by Consul Ciara who earned 50 points...more then the entire Arcona Krath House!

Medals:

DJK Murkrow Defender - Crescent w/ Ruby Star

Promotions:

PRT BubbaX - GRD BubbaX

KAP Ciara Tearnan - KE Ciara Tearnan

Congrats to BubbaX and about bloody time Ciara got rewarded for her efforts

No new members arrived, courses completed or departures.

Sith Squadron League Round 2 Results arrived and my only concern was that not everyone in HH participated. That aside both HH and SZ have proven to be formidable opponents and I hope that more pilots from both BTs will participate in the 3rd round.

3rd Round Mission is XWA Free Mission #4. Hurry up as it ends on 7th.

High Score on TC Database is 20,907

We have another run-on happening, thanks to MD :P And so far its going good with a submission from MD (duh), Ciara (Gasp :P) and Raganosh (Yipee). It's on the message board so do atleast one submission...and yes medals for the last run-on will be handed out!

Having done all the week's business, my little farewell speech :P Anyway I would like to thank the following:

MD for his efforts in supporting Tridens. I can remember when I first noticed him with his damn monkeys and Wil chasing after them with an axe. I think his time in Gladius was a wake-up call because upon his return he started to prove himself one of the most active people around.

Pel and Vortoq. Their efforts, which sometimes seem to go unrewarded, have now shown their targets with the recent standings of both HammerHead and Sub-Zero BattleTeams. In particular Pel has proven to be an asset to Tridens with building HH into an active BattleTeam and I only hope that the others will follow their examples.

VinDoros, Domi and Frey. Each has helped in their unique way with Frey proving his dedication by participating straight after transfering over and keeping a good level of activity. Domi for his efforts both before and after being QUA in helping out and still finding time to do something in the run-on. VinDoros joined us back around the start of May and shocked everyone with a high level of activity. These days his main contribution is an XWA course which I hope everyone will use once its up and running.

The rest of House Tridens. The fact that I dont mention anyone else's name is not because I dont remember you, but that you all have contributed something special to this House. Keep up the good work, do as many comps as possible and enjoy yourselves!

As for my future in the DB, I only ask to remain Tridens while I think about it for the next few days.
