House Aleema of Clan Satal Keto
Quaestor's Report #19
Page Meridian sounding off...
Page's Pub
For lack of better entertainment, the Clan Summit (Gord-O and Drako) made their way across to the "wrong side of the tracks". While walking, and eating authentic Rodian foods, the two Jedi noticed an otherwise unnoticable establishment. As they stopped to stare, the sign read : "Kaiann and Page's Hideout......an Aleema bar, cantina, and pub". You see, there was no way the two Summit-Folk could detain themselves, thus they entered. Two individuals argued inside:
"He wants out!...so he's out!" the first figure stated.
"NO! This is a grave misunderstanding! You need to learn how to read! the second pleaded.
"...and ANOTHER thing..." the first declared.
"...just watch your tone! I said WE would run this House! NOT you exclusively!!" the second defended.
Bursting through the Clan Summit, the Dark Jedi Knight, Dalthid, encompassed the room. "You're BOTH right!" the Knight interruped. "I want to leave, but not without reason!" He continued, "The timing is a real problem here, and without getting deeply in to it, I don't exactly want to leave, but under the circumstances, I must".
Gord-O and Drako looked at each other as if requesting an explaination from each other. The two seemed to settle for the situation at hand as just that. It was not good, but also certainly not bad. At least the bright young lad was staying in Aleema, albeit as a Tyro.
Page and Kaiann looked each other in the eye. Were they both wrong? Possibly. Did it matter? No; not at all. Aleema had a Great Jedi War to prepare for...
House News
A little tension, and a little (or mini) comp this week. I must first apologize for the tardiness of my own report. Hey, RL was hectic this week; thanks for giving me a break in advance. Arania has dug deep, and begun a "comp of old". The mini comps! Anyone notice her signature "non-report" lately? CLASSIC!! Have I mentioned that we're striving for the days of old?! One area that I've seen an admirable amount of improvement this week is...IRC! A bunch of folks finally stopped by to say hello (at least whilst I was there :P). Good on ya. Communication is #1 around here these days. No one will be limited in quantity or quality! Me and Kai got in to a bit of a squabble this week regarding the unfortunate resignation of the SotN TET: DJK Dalthid. Hey, we argue, but in the end, the best comes out. What good would it be if we always agreed?...it would be like a dictatorship. I hold not grudges, as I hope he does not. Back in business my friend? Good!
Speaking of resignations, who's gonna be the new TET of SotN??? This may sound like a tough, or even disturbing decision this close to the GJW. However (..Comma. Pause for effect...) look at the members of that damn Phyle! We've got Arania and Zillie over there, who alone can (without the aid of a TET) run the place easily. So am I in a hurry to get an "official rep.?" Not at all. If you are in SotN, and interested in the job, please send Kaiann and myself a little mail. Please remember though, the DB Leadership course is a MUST for consideration! Enough said; Rock on SotN!!.
As far as comps go?...DO SOME WOULD YA? :P Hey, the KMT is (as always) going on. Do your best to throw a little something together for either topic. Let's all hone our skills to a razor's edge in preparation of the upcoming Great Jedi War! In light, please don't forget about the other comps running! The House comp is an EASY Cr-E for possibly a whole damn Phyle (shameless plug for my own comp)! Bottom line: "Do something! Be seen! Get shiny shit for your dossier! Have FUUUUUUUUUN!!"

Use this and write an interesting, original short story. The more unique and interesting, the better!
Clan Competition Part 2
Phase 2 "Turn up the heat!"
*Krath:
Reaching the platform seemed like it hat taken forever, but you finally did it and you are still alive too!
As you reach to the suspended PCON to remove the low humming device on his chest, another flash of light blinds you as you wonder if this is going to become a habit.
As you regain your sight you see that you have been transported into a stone room and notice that two of your fellow clan members nearly appeared at the same time as you did. you are not sure , if they also tried to save the Proconsul and entered after you, or if they were just another illusion. on your guard you greet them and start exploring the room. You see four doors, each placed in the center of one of the walls. you open the doors and to your amazement you find that each opens up to a totally different landscape and place. One leads to a jungle, the second to an ice desert, the third to a forest that very much looks like the Desalmado forest and you can even see the shapes of the clan's stronghold in the distance and the forth opens to a long corridor.
you turn around to your companions and say....
Rules:
Run-on for three
open for Sith and Obelisk as well,
basically you grab 2 of your friends and start writing a story with them, you do it over mail between the three of you only in a run-on fashion.
with setting a limit to three it makes it easier to control and waits smaller . each of the three can chose to be on the rescue mission or an illusion, a sort of an enemy within to foil it. it is up to each of you, and no you don't have to say from start what you, it would only take the suspense away! :P
by the time the deadline is here you should have complete stories that you send over to Consul Drako and myself!
as for the finish of it: what ever way you chose in the end you find yourself in an arena sort of place .
House Competiton
Comp Title: "A Modest Proposal"
Participants: AoD vs SotN
Start: Immediately
Finish: 31 January 03
Description: Each Phyle of Aleema will co-author a 5 page piece of fiction with the topic: "Why [ insert name of opposite Phyle here ] is the best one in Aleema!"
Additional Info: Suggested by the title, this should be sarcastically written. Please try to refrain from "getting in cheap shots at individuals", but rather keep in all in good fun. The exact method this will be done is not set in stone, however use of the message board for a run-on is prohibited at the request of the PCON. The suggested method for this is private email to all of your Phyle. I suppose a private, moderated, IRC session could work as well, as could a few other scenes. The goal here is that noone outside your own Phyle should see the work in progress until the finished product. Please keep that in mind. The final paper is to be submitted by each TET by 11:59pm EST on the 31st of January. Please direct all questions to me and me only. Lets have some fun and some laughs!
Awards: Crescent w/ Emerald Star for all contributors on the winning team. The individuals who contributed are defined as those named at the end of the final draft by the TET and ONLY the TET.
Arania's Mini Comps
Once or twice a week, you will have the chance to gain points towards a DC in trivias, caption contests etc. The system got slightly modified, and there is a website for it this time at http://www.aleema.net/csk
1st place gets 3 points
2nd place gets 2 points
3rd place gets 1 point
Participation is 0.25 or 0.5 point, depending on amount of submission. Meaning if you send in 5 or more captions, for example, and don't win, you get 0.5 points and if you only send in 3 or less it would be 0.25 etc
10 points get a DC, and scores reset. Have fun all, and remember, this is more about fun and participation than about winning.
This week, we have a caption contest, go check it out!
For your conveniece, I've included it here. However, please make yourselves familiar with the link!!

Quaestor's rehab...
We're holding strong, but not breaking down the walls of this place. As Aleemans, we have some fairly enormous shoes to fill. Fortunately, we have some of those who laid the first tracks with us :) Let's get things jumped up a notch and have 100% participation in 100% of the competitions at hand. If every one of you finish dead last in every competition that's currently running, I'd personally be happier than if one of you finished first in every one (Dalthid, keep you mouth shut :P). We have each other's back? Let's act like it. Let's kick some ass!!
Thanks for lending an ear and a quill...
