This weeks report is sadly something I find to be very unpleasant. Normally I prefer to announce a tourney or a competition or somesuch but this report will unfortunately be filled with a little bit of preaching. To those of you that are already following the orders I have previously given on this subject, I apologize. To those of you that have not, rest assured that you will or I will have no recourse but to pursue the actions that I find more distasteful than anything, that being the HCI.

It is the purpose of the DB to be a FUN environment for all, yet within that fun environment we still have rules. One of those rules conerns membership in other clans/entities aside from the DB. Such membership is allowed so long as it does NOT cause any form of problem within this organization. I will not point specifically to anyone, but I will say that wether you are in the Star Vipers, The Jedi Academy, or ANY other club aside from the Dark Brotherhood THAT club has no standing or recognition within the Dark Brotherhood or any of its Channels or Servers. At this time, I would like to clearly stipulate that NO tags or indentifiers OTHER than the appropriate [DB], [DB-DCpos], or [DB-gmrg rnk] is permitted on ANY DB run server. That means NOTHING else that has ANY relation to ANY other entity. This is NON negotiable.

Sportsmanship is a second topic. Some have expressed distress that I could dare to impose rules on this... I can't truly understand that but I will explain first off that if your fun here centers around rudeness to others, arrogance, or general disrespect of your opponents or ANY fellow member, then you need to find another route to have fun, or another organization to have fun in. Again, this is completely NON negotiable. No one can gripe much about some freindly trash talking but the difference is clear and obvious. Anyone going beyond this and denegrating an opponent OR their skills/performance Before/During/After a match or simply in a channel on IRC will be dealt with harshly. Anyone that thinks they are so good that they have the right to verbally abuse another member had better learn REAL quick to think again. No matter HOW the OHC office has been run in the past... I will NOT tolerate it. Furthermore, this includes sitting around in ANY Channel that is USED for DB purposes wether DB owned or not. If you use it for DB pusposes, to discuss ANYTHING about the DB or its members.. then for all intents and purposes it IS a DB channel for that time and ALL DB rules apply. Acting as a group in such matters is also far worse and will be treated under the Conspiracy heading for HCI purposes. And yes.. you guessed it.. this is NON negotiable.

Simply put, respect other members here as you would have them respect you. If you have a problem with ANYONE, seek your leaders like QUAs or AEDs... or better yet... ME or anyone of my staff. The OHC staff is Preator Shadow, Magistrates KE Khobai and OBM Raislin. This respect should flow BOTH ways and applies to my staff and to ME as well. If you have any problems in #Obelisk, Shadow is GOD for all intents and purposes if I am not present. If you feel he is in the wrong, then you bring it to me, DONT continue to have it out with Shadow or anyone else on my staff. Furthermore, abbreviations like stfu and others are NOT allowed from ANYONE. The meaning is clear and the meaning is what will be dealt with. I allow a HUGE amount of leeway in #Obelisk so there is NO excuse for using such hateful, unpleasant, and downright RUDE manners of getting yer point across. This simply will not be tolerated and in the future will fall under the same rules as I have posted above.

Quite frankly I am DISGUSTED to have to post this but so be it. I will have courtesy and respect paid to you by others and by others to you until Firefox sees fit to remove me from this office or I feel it's time for me to step down. We value each and every one of you folks here but if you can't be decent to your BROTHERS and SISTERS here, then there simply is NO place for you and we wish you the best in finding one.
