Tarentum Proconsul Report 15

CLAN NEWS MISCELLANY

-- Our roster is up to 71 members (+7 since last month).

-- "Pulverize the PCON"

Wow! A chance to beat up on a clan summit! Interested? Then keep reading.

This is a Clan Tarentum competition in which individual members have an opportunity to win medals by defeating the proconsul in head-to-head contests.

This is how it works: Any member of Tarentum is invited to challenge Proconsul Proton to single combat. The platform can be of the member's choosing. This can include the Sith platforms of XWA, XVT or TIE, or any sort of Krath writing event. I also would like to include Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds, for those of you who might have the strategy game. I suppose I also would stand for Jedi Knight I combat, because I do not want to leave out our Obelisk warriors. In fact I likely would be easy pickings for this because I get motion sickness from first-person-shooter games -- aak. Obelisks, I'd rather take you on in one of the X-wing games or SWGB, but like I said, it will be your choice.

Just e-mail the PCON at [Log in to view e-mail addresses] to issue your challenge. Dictate the platform (such as, TIEDB Battle 5), and we're set. The operating deadline will be two weeks from issuance of the challenge for both parties to fly the battle, complete the work of fiction, play the online match, etc.

Duration of competition: I intend to allow until the end of February for challenges to me made and met. This should give me enough time to do justice to all challenges.

In contests requiring judging, CON Ciara and-or her designees will determine the winner.

Awards:

Challenge won by Tarentum member: Star of Eos

Challenge won by PCON: No award.

Good luck to all challengers! I plan to work hard to deny you the medals, so know that if you do win, you will have well earned the hardware :)

" :: clap clap::

Acolyte Illidan,

Hi, you've just joined the asylm of the universe. Watch out for women in white with large needles. The padded rooms are nice, though. :P " -Jade

"It's not so bad, Protector. The majority of our house is making it sound as if you will be subjected to test after test of horrifying mental probes, slowly forcing you to become as crazy as the rest of us.

Perhaps...

And then there will be those who will keep you in dark rooms, inhabitted only by yourself and your greatest fears for days on end, with nothing to do but silently chew your lip and pray for death.

Perhaps...

And then, there are others who will tell you that you will become so

devastated by the horrors of their mental anguish that you will become

unstable and lost in the darkness that you will seek to control.

Perhaps...

Perhaps all of it is true. Perhaps none of it. Gladius is what you make of it. It could be your cherished home, or a recurring nightmare. It could be a bright room of friends, or a twisted chamber of horrors. It is different in the minds of each of us, for none of us is quite the same.

You will fight it, Protector. We all have, but in the end, you will lose, and your insanity will take hold. Heed our words, Protector, for the dangers you will face on your path to darkness are much more perilous than anything you have faced before. I myself was once in your position, fighting to maintain my sanity, but in the end, it has been taken by the darkness.

Insanity has taken me to the brink of death and left me there to suffer, but in the process, it has given dark powers beyond imagination...

I wish you luck, Protector, for as I and the rest of Gladius know, you will most assuradley need it." -DJK Knight Camile

" Greetings Night-Elf, welcome to Gladius. Please excuse our insane members, not all of us have one marble left ;) Anyways, im Krath Priest Hades, Gladius AED. Im here to help you whenever you need me, and to call on when the insane people mistake your room for thiers... it happens alot unfortuantly. My office is always open if you have questions. For now, keep the pepper spray close and your blaster closer <eg>" -KP "Doc" Hades

" ....... Oh yeah... ::thwaps Camile:: snap out of it man! :P I was just praying I wasnt going to see another "Transfer Request Approved" email after that little thing you sent.. though it was kinda funny hehe But just wait till they're here a bit longer before you pull out the heavy artillery <g>" -Hades

"My, my, my... what interesting little Krathies we have going on in Gladius. Such an interesting response from all of you frikkin' lunatics. They're crazy I tell you! Crazy! Ha! Wickedly insane! Don't ever turn your back on them. They'll steal your pillows. They'll tickle your bunny rabbits until they turn into viscious, man-eating raptors of death! Stop them! We have to kill the bunnies! Ni! Have at you! Have at you, I say! I'll make you all taste death at the hand of my giant souvenier hand! I-- ...oh yeah. I was going to report on the House. " -KAP Sith Bloodfyre

" crosses Kodiak All you a-tall Italians, and all you a-short Italians, get the hell off my lawn!" -KAP Aari

"He He He!

Alla you a-tall Afganies, and alla you a short Afganies, get the hell off my plane!" -PRT Jade

"Kir Kanos walk into the hangar and sees Davi Anthol's fighter.

What should I do to this one? he thinks.

Later, Davi is found staring in horror at his fighter.

The interior has been redecorated by an angry ferret

with a bladder control problem and dysentery.

The exterior has been repainted puke green and

bright orange in a checkerboard pattern, with neon blue trim." -PRT Kir Kanos

"You like ferrets, don't you?" -GRD BubbaX

"The time is 2300 hours. The place is the hangar on PLT Aegis.

All is dark. The techs have long since left the hangar. Then, a shadow moves.

SR got new fighters. I can have fun with this. thinks Kanos.

He goes to the nearest fighter.

Hmm, this ones Hermann's. Kanos fills the interior with pudding and paints it puke green with banana yellow stripes.

Kanos then paints Neko's T/I hot pink and lets a ferret with severe dysentery loose in the cockpit.

He paints LPMQTP's fighter bright orange and covers the interior with Hutt saliva.

Mosh's fighter is painted neon yellow and purple in a checkerboard pattern and Kanos puts a skunk with severe halitosis in the cockpit.

Kanos paints Corran's T/I hot pink with bright purple splotches and puts a ravenous ferret in the cockpit." -PRT Kir Kanos

"Out of curiosity, is the insurance paid up on the castle and the SSSD Sovereign?" -PRT Corsair

"I'll want to borrow a few monkeys for that since my ferrets are lacking opposable thumbs." -PRT Kir Kanos

"Who needs thumbs when they can have ferret adapted airguns and power tools?:P" -DJK Murkrow Defender
