Heya fellow Dark Jedi,

This week's report will be really short, as I'm leaving out the house reports. That is just for this week. I've got a lot to tell you all, so please bear with me and read the whole report. :P

First order of business... the report format poll has gone as long as I'd like it to. Basically from the votes received, it is almost a perfect split. So here is the plan for reports: House and Clan Reports will be compiled as they are now. However, battleteams are free to send out their own reports on their own so long as it is to their QUA and their battleteam only. Dont spam the house groups. We'll save email inboxes and still get info out to others at the appropriate times.

Second big thing, which of course is the most important, is that the Great Jedi War has begun! The original Run-On got a little crazy as I know most of you saw when you heard of it. By decree of DGM Mairin, it has been halted and now it is up to each clan to write their own. We get two weeks to finish. Since we have an ehnet.org message board of our very own, we can go to the last minute. So go and check it out at: http://www.ehnet.org/mb/viewtopic.php?t=4372 The Great Jedi War is a chance to earn the coveted title of "First Clan of the Brotherhood" and also to rank Houses accordingly. Hopefully HAD can regain the coveted First Krath House, and our others can move up and show how much butt we can kick when motivated!

On the note of really big competitions, the Dark Jedi Games is still under investigation. There are some accusations of cheating in the Obelisk ladder. We must wait on the OHC for things to be cleared up. According to DGM Mairin, this wont take much longer. I am a bit annoyed as are many of you probably, but we need to sit tight for a little longer... before we release the squirrels and cause mayhem at the OHC's office :P

Ok... onto something that sounds really cool: Clan Specific Force Powers. Basically the DGM's Praetor, Sith Bloodfyre, has come up with a system to give the clans more of an identity and their jedi sometime more to work for than becoming a super clone of all the others :) So far the plan is for each clan to have a specialty. CSP's is "Animal Empathy/Control" which fits in with all the squirrels and other random furry critters we always have running about. There will be 7-10 force powers in increasing potency. They will be for clan work, unity and other stuff like that. More info on that later, but they will almost be like mini-promotions. So another thing to work for... officially approved to pump you up!

And now to wrap things up I have two evaluations to send out. First, I want EVERYONE to email me with Summit evaluations. I'd like you to tell me how you think your bosses are doing. This means your Battleteam leader, your Aedile, your Quaestor, your PCON, and heck even me. I want to make it extremly clear NOBODY WILL GET IN TROUBLE if you think a summit isnt doing good. But please... no cursing and random crap. Say what is wrong and if possible what you think could be done to fix the problem :) We'll listen, seriously. We might not do everything immediatly, but it is important to know how we are doing. I'll share the evals with the other summit, no need to CC unless you feel like it. If you want it confidential... that's fine too.

Last but not least... I've been behind in this and I'm really sorry. Jedi of the month. Please send nominations in ASAP. Especially QUAs and AEDs (hey you can handle orders in reports... so I know you read these things) :P So you all have stuff to do, go participate in the GJW, talk to your Consul and make sure to have fun doing so :)
