Greetings brothers and sisters

First of ....I am DJK!!!! uhm okay :P uhm yeah ... drinks are on me :P Well then lets come to the report. This week was as silent as usual. Even though I got really TONS of mottos for the motto comp not that much happens. I guess most of you have exams coming as I have and have to study that's of course okay.

Activity

As mentioned above quite leveled. No changes. But I hope that will change when GJW are coming.

Competitions

Mystic Motto Comp finished

I really got many many mannnny mottos for this comp. It wasnt easy to choose the three winning mottos. For those who havent won anything I would like to mention again that the activity and the effort is important not the medal :) Dont be sad just try again :)

Here are the results:

1st place: Dem: Cave Adsum - Beware we are here

2nd place: Aari: Of the arcane most dread

3rd place: Dem: Let darkness reign

Medals were already awarded, sorry that I didnt annonce them earlier. Congratz to the winners :)

House Competition

I heard that no single story was written for this competition. I have to say I am a bit disappointed, I know I didnt participate either, but still it is alarming that no one else seemed to have interest in a comp for the whole house. I am sure our House summit is very disappointed and I want to appologize for my BT's and my own lack of activity.

Monthly topic, KCC and other DB wide comps

The KHP already said that many many entries came in for the KMT, but dont be afraid to send something in as well. We have a Limmerick topic about Pain and the Story topic is about Invasion :)

KCC matches have slowed down a bit. But look at Jason he won against me :P so go and challenge him ;P or me. Dem, Siterath and Jade have character sheets as well. If you want to challenge me please notice that I am in the preexam phase so I might be responding only slow. I have a battle running as well, against Timeros. It is like a debt. If I win he will join tarentum if I lose he still has a choice :PWish me luck.

GJW are coming soon so stay tuned.

Promotions - Medals & Courses

No promos nor tests but 3 medals this week.

The medals come from the Motto comp again COngratz to the two winner:

Dem: 1x Cres with Emerald Star

1x Cres with Quartz Star

Aari: Cres with Topaz Star

General News

Dark Voice

The editors of the DV mentioned that they only got 5 submissions for the DV so far. I urge you to make submissions. You did so many great pieces of work, why not sending them in and getting a Dark Scroll for each? :P

IWATS-course submission rules

Since there were so many submissions the HM made a set of rules for IWATS courses, read them and follow them otherwise you dont get the IWATS course added to your profile:

1) Submissions must include your DB PIN and proof. Proof may be in the form of another official online record, or forwards of the mails from the Professors.

2) If you choose to use the forwaring system, you must CC: the Professors of the Courses. Any IWATS PROF who turns around and says, "Hey! I didn't pass that person!" will put a slight damper on your record.

3) It's preferable that you include the number of courses, or even a list of the courses, that you have passed to date. This way, I can go through and do the people who only have a course or two to enter when I'm on the run. ;)

AWOL check
