Been a busy week. There are quite a few comps going on in the Krath houses and from the looks of it participation is solid. Keep it up, my fellow Krath. You are doing us proud. Ok buckle your anti-grav harnesses here we go...

1) A 3-way Clan feud is being kicked into gear. CSP, Tarentum, and Taldryan are about to vie for who kicks the most Dark Jedi tookus. Good luck to all!

2) There has been a disturbing amount of complaints and angry debates going on over House elists, IRC, and the like regarding the way Houses are being run, problems with summit leaders, etc. In response to this, please note the following...

a) DO NOT flame, argue, or accuse fellow members and summit leaders over your official House elists. If you have an issue with another member, approach him or her first. If that doesn't work, approach your Summit leaders. If THAT doesn't work, approach me and I guarantee from there it will be taken care of.

b) Do not issue complaints over elists. This ALWAYS prompts a huge thread of people either bashing or defending the person/persons being discussed. First thing to do in this situation is to speak to your Summit leaders. If that doesn't work, OR the issue is WITH your Summit leaders, speak to me.

c) Every little back-biting comment, every accusation, every smart remark, and every outburst degrades on everyone that reads it. Also, it degrades on the reputation of your House and Clan. Some may not care what other people think, but many others do.

Ok I'm real sorry if this is sounding preachy. But this stuff needs to be addressed. If you have ay questions, comments, doubts, theories, quandaries, verbal beatings, and the like you wish to express, my office door is always open.

3) New Monthly Topics are up and I've had a nice amount of submissions already. Get 'em in early and I'll be your best friend! :) Just kidding.

4) Some of you are wondering what's up with November's Monthly topics. Since I came to office at the end of the month, the results will be a TAD bit late since Mairin and I want to make sure we get it done right and don't miss anyone's submissions. They will be out soon. Thanks for all those sub's that came in.
