Greetings.

It's a pleasure and an honor to return to this position after so long an absence. Hopefully I'll be able to do it justice. For your personal records, my e-mail address is [Log in to view e-mail addresses] if you ever need to reach me.

As a point of order, Paladorion will remain my AED, so that position is not open for applications.

My commendations go out to CyberGuy, who has implemented a Tyro-training program in his Phyle to prepare members for future administrative positions in the Brotherhood. Currently, Xizor is working on a competition for Dark Orb - members there should keep their eyes open. I will be reviewing (and hopefully approving) that competition in the very-near future.

Additionally, Paladorion is working on the "fun" competition - which is geared towards getting your ideas about what would make a competition work. We have already had some great ideas coming in, but that doesn't need to end! Keep those gears turning. Hats of to Satana for an excellent suggestion. We'll keep you posted about this competition as time goes by.

However, with the future plans aside, I'd like everyone's primary focus to be the Murder Mystery League. Our house is currently placed first in this competition, and I'd like to keep it this way!

Finally, if any of you need a hand with anything, need someone to edit a piece of writing (for the DB or a personal project, or for school as well), I have a good critical eye, and I will never be anything less than helpful towards any of you. Feel free to contact me at any time with questions, comments, and the like.

Hope to see good things from all of you in the future!

Regards,
KPN Elliad Gavron/QUA/House Qel-Droma of Arcona
