Clan Arcona Weekly Report

Light is Limited - Darkness is Infinite

• Khobs and I are busy setting up the new Clan wide competition and should early december and end just before the GJW.

• It seems there have been rumours about the (alleged) Clan Summits resignation. Let me assure you that none of the Clan Summit is not considering resigning any time soon. If and when the times comes to move on (for either member of the summit), you will be the first to know. And if possible, at least a month before the actual departure.

• Lately there were a few incidents of confidential information made public. There are things going on that are not important for your continued pleasure in the DB. Ofcourse, gossip is fun but loose lips sink ships. :P I urge those with responsibility to act responsible and mature. Most of the items "leaked" are parts taken out of context or just ideas during a brainstorm. None of the things you hear are credible untill you read it in this or another report or from the horses mouth. If you think this is overstated, I refer to the gossip in the paragraph above.

• The Clan roster is now at 67 members. Please welcome the following Dark Jedi to our Clan:

ACO Johann Glorick (Sith)

PRT Draco Caanis (Sith)

DJK Cyrax Lionheart (Krath)

ACO Strategos (Krath)

JH Nurel Turr (Sith)

JH Saris (Sith)

KP Cymbre Kall (Krath)

PRT Drax Remlinger (Sith)

NOV Xura Verr (Sith)

And we say goodbye to:

SW Azazel (Sith)

• Pandragon will defend its position of winner of the first SSL in season 2. I expect OO's squadron in the top 3 ofcourse. :)

• Qel-Droma has another murder mystery to solve this week. Im starting to feel a bit unsafe with all those muderers runing around. Catch the little bugger! And dont forget about the monthly topics.

• Galeres is busy with their feud against Cestus. Ive already seen numerous Obleisk from the House Cestus looking for a match in our IRC Channel #arcona. Contact them and stomp em in the ground. :P

Sith Squadron League is about to rear it's head again. Pandas, I want you to defend your title as best as you can. Never give up, and it would be nice to see 100% participation. Apoc and Purgatory: Now that we have 3 battle teams there shouldn't be any reason why we shouldn't have 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places in the SSL 2. I want the other QUA's and CONs to know that they have no chance against us in the GJW. I'll fly the competition with you on the platforms i can fly (XvT XWA) even to give hints tips ect. and we'll start some communications about it.

WHAT's TO BE EXPECTED:

#1.Most everyone should participate, if there is a reason you cannot, let me know. Remember I do know RL is important :-p.

#2. We will communicate with each other to help each other in the competition. I want us all spamming each other comments on the battles to help us get higher scores. While Each Battle team is competing with each other they won't put our teams against each other till the end, also we're all part of the same team. So I want to hear a lot of encouragement and helping out especialy from the Veterans.

#3. Part of getting good SP mission scores is a lot of patients. Learning each part of the battle by heart and reflying missions. If you have patients... good scores will follow. Don't give up... keep going and you'll do fine.

Ok guys get ready to load up. Check your sabers for thier operating efficiency. I'll have our Blue Female Twi'Lek Mechanic Tosha do some maintanance on our craft after her and I finish "Nightly routine." Take care guys.

House Qel-Droma Report

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

Fiction

This is a rather unusual thing to have in an Obelisk feud we know, but we

chose to add it in order to add another fold into it, and to give Obelisk

the opportunity to do something they don't normally do - write!

The fiction portion will be scored according to the following rules:

-Participants will submit a piece of fiction writing which pertains to the

battle between Cestus and Galeres. Suggestions could be a duel between some

members of the two houses, a space battle scene, a general combat between

members of the houses, a story about a single member which pertains to the

battle, etc. Use your imagination and make your writing creative!

-Works must be a minimum of one (1) page typed, single-spaced in 12-point

font - in .txt or .doc format.

-Works will be submitted to all 4 summit members with the e-mail subject

line: "House Feud Fiction"

-The 4 summit members will individually give the piece a single grade on a

1-10 (10-high) scale based on their assesment of:

        Grammar/Spelling (doubtful it'll be a factor :P)  



        Mechanics/Usage  



        Creativity  



        Realism  



        Overall Quality  

-The 4 summit members will share their grades with one another, and the

grades will be averaged to calculate a single score for the piece.

-The person with the highest overall average grade will be declared the

winner. In the event of a tie the house summit members reserve the right to

decide the method of tiebreaker.

-Participants will be encouraged to submit multiple pieces of writing to

enhance their chances of winning, as long as all of them meet the

requirements. Any additional pieces a person submits will be treated as

separate papers, and its overall score will be averaged in with that of the

original paper (i.e. if a person submits a paper which gets a score of 8,

then another which gets a score of 10, they would be averaged to give this

person a score of 9)

Participants will be awarded a CF for each combat victory in the JK1 and JK2

Ladders. The overall winners of each ladder will be awarded the appropriate

crescents.

In the fiction department, the writer with the highest score will be awarded

a Steel Cross, the 2nd place a Star of Eos, and the 3rd place a Dark Cross.
