Greetings brothers in darksness

I'm sorry for my idling for all week - i've been pretty busy in RL

and so far i'll be busy too i'm afraid, so all competitions started

should come from Rex and Az i guess, still no Hypo CMDR chosen and

i get no applications homehow, hope Rex has something.

This week was pretty slow and all - one member joined, medals for Night

Raid arrived and so on, all other seems like as before. I didn't seen

Sith champ sco5res yet so i can't announce one so far sorry.

Guess that's all i can remember now.

Read Martial Law section carefully - i repeat it second time so you

should know what is it and how exactly does it work.

Martial Law

---

Okay, let's see what we have by now:

some people aren't agree with ML but to my surprise all of them are

not affected by it because they are active, although last competition

results makes me doubt that. So in total i think system is accepted ;)

If you dont agree - mail me and tell that, just don't stay quiet, i'm

here to cooperate, not press or bitch over you. So - my door is always

open and i never say shuddup and do what i say :)

Okay, to make it short let's see what changes:

for pilots: nothing at all - you fly whatever you wish and send ALL

your files to CMDRs. My advise - fly for all DB comps, and if you can't

fly please inform your cmdr why you didn't, simple eh?

for commanders: you count score for Sith champ as before - if pilot is

active he get full score without any penalties.

But you also count ML score - that's DB only activity, both scores you

list in your report, for example: Sith champ: 1000, ML - 100. If pilot

was active and flying for all comps i add him 1000 points. And 100

otherwise. So it gives me a new work same way you do :)

Scores will be counted weekly as usually.

Comps running at the moment

TCC site is down and as far as i know Tiger is going to shut

competition down. That makes none comp at the moment - commanders

please start ome flying events as soon as possible, same goes to

all pilots - if you have a comp idea in mind - don't hesitate and

start it right away.

Clan Trivia - not our sort of activity, still join in if you want

to, as i know it's usually on #Taldryan, Sunday, 3PM EST.

We'll have Great Jedi War really soon, everyone keep your fighters warm.

Quest for Glory

Hello pilots of house Archanis, it's been a long time i addressed you

without week report word and it's my mistake :)

Today is a great day! Why? Because we start a huge competition... no,

it's not a competition, it's a whole mess of work to do: flying,

writing, making websites and making yourself better and better every

second you are in it. Of course this will not be easy at all,

it will take a lot of your blood and, i can guarantee that, a lot of

us will not survive this challenge, only strongest ones will get

through. But it's life, isn't it? The strongest kind survives, weak

and useless ones go down, only lifes goes on, so get yourself really

ready for it. We will bring you hardest challenges you ever faced in

this life, we will torture your body, we will bring pain of loss and

bloody joy of victory, when slayed opponent draw hands before you and

accepts your superiority in every attempt, we will make you cry from

terrible pain, and we will teach you to make others cry for their

defeat, we will bring chaos and destruction to all that is wrong and

built a new, shining and bright future of our immense strenght and

power. WE WILL BRING ARCHANIS TO THE PLACE IT BELONGS! WE WILL BE

THE FIRST HOUSE OF THE DARK BROTHERHOOD ONCE AGAIN!!!

 Sometimes we ask ourselves, what is Glory? Where's it comes from?  

What is it consist of? I don't know for sure. But I will share my

vision with you. Glory - is a mountain. High and unapproachable,

with peak hidden behind cloud layer, and you never know what's

hidden up there, on top of it. It's so good to be at the bottom

of it, relaxing and chilling in the sun. Like million of others.

But there, on top of this mountain - is where gods reside. It is

a place for them, and only best, the elite ones, strongest,

fastest, dexterous, smartest and most skilled people enjoy their

life as high as no one other - people who are equal to gods, and

gods who treat them as equal to themselves.

 And that, is where we will go now - we will climb this mountain,  

road will be as hard as you can think of it, stonefalls, avalanches,

peaks, covered with ice, snow as deep as sea, cold, freezing you to

death.

  A lot of us will fall down, will be left behind, but people  

who belong to this top will always find their way there, even if you

fall or lost - you can always recover, catch up - and THAT, and

only THAT, makes you a true winner. It's not as valuable to reach

it with single jump - but when you are able to lose, and then find

will and force in yourself to stand up from your knees and say: "I'm

not belong here, my place is up there, right on TOP" - you are a true

champion, true ruler of this WORLD.

This time I will address our commanders: Pell and Az. I remember the

time when i was Hyperion commander. If somebody will ever ask me

what was best about it, i will name 3 things: Pellaeon, Azazel and

Hermann. There were and there are more great pilots, we were best

pilots of the brotherhood, and we still are, but you guys were the best,

the elite, that's a reason why you are now command Archanis even

more then me and Rex - you command squadrons, Glory of Archanis,

is first of all glory of our squadrons - your glory and your pilots.

For both of you i can give my life in combat to your hands and be

sure in you as i'm sure in myself.

You are a true example for all pilot under your command - so be it,

be as good as you wish your pilots to be. Never hesitate, you see

an opportunity - grab it and use it, don't dare to say "I will do

it tomorrow" - the second you think of it - do it, whatever it is.

If you want to make comp - do it, you are a leader, you are born

to command people, not ask them if they want to or ready to. It's

better to make a mistake and try it again. Even if you did a mistake -

admit it and no one will ever remember it anymore. Never stand back -

you are a leader, you are the best - you never do any mistakes, even

when you are wrong - you word is a law as it is, so always go forward,

never look back - people will follow you. And ones who will not -

they never was ready to be commanded by leaders like you, they

never deserved such honor.

Let's make our way now, together we can do it. And we WILL DO IT.

to be continued...
