<table border cols="1" width="100%" bgcolor="red"> <tr> <td>INTRODUCTION</td> </tr> </table>

Lots and lots to do for you all including THE GREAT JEDI WAR!

So far the senior members of Sapphire are carrying the squadron, I would really like to see some activity from the younger members this week. I realize some of you are on leave, but any little participation will really help out Sapphire and more importantly Clan Naga Sadow.

Keep up the great work Sappharians.

#001 - Great Jedi War

This is, as you well damn know, our main concern. The Sith portion was announced and the free missions are due by 11.59pm EST on 23rd February 2003.

All submissions should be sent to SHW Hades ([Log in to view e-mail addresses]) and DGM Mairin ([Log in to view e-mail addresses]) and CC me ([Log in to view e-mail addresses]).

For full details and to download the missions check out the official website at:

http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.org/dbjedi/dgm/index.htm

So far we have 6 submissions from Sapphire squadron, which is great, but I want to see more. Like our Consul, I expect every member of Sapphire to compete in the Great Jedi War. Don't worry about your score, do your best and participate. You will get your Clan a point just by participating.

So get Flying!

#002 - Great Jedi War Run On

The Clan Run On continues. It is open for all Orders, so go and contribute to the story.

http://www.ehnet.org/mb/viewforum.php?f=20

So far just myself and Janos have posted. Again I would like to see a few posts from others. We need every member to at least post once to help out the score. If you need help feel free to ask me and I will assist you in any way I can.

It ends the 17th.

So get posting!

#003 - Great Jedi War Battle Plan

Carl Lost has done a great job at coming up with a battle plan, but we need assistance. I would love to be able to put all of Sapphire's names on the final entry. So input is needed.

I've sent the plan to you all. Any additions, changes, alterations, comments, or ideas.....Speak Up.

This portion of the GJW is not going to be due til the end, so we have some time with this.

So get thinking!

#004 - Ludo Kressh Aedile

Abel Malik stepped down this week as Aedile and went rogue, thus leaving an opening that was quickly filled by Malik.

This leaves Diamond squadron without a CMDR at the moment. I don't know if the summit has already decided on this or are going to take applications, but for any of you who think you have what it takes should quickly apply to QUA Scithe and AED Malik.

#005 - Clan Force Powers

Consul Goatham has released what are Clan Force Powers are to be. Check them out at:

<table border cols="1" width="100%" bgcolor="red"> <tr> <td>HAPPY VALENTINES DAY</td> </tr> </table>

To help you all have a Bob-like Valentines Day, I give you the following step-by-step instructions.

1.Preparation

Have you ever heard the expression 'Never drink on an empty stomach'. Well the 1st step to successful drinking is to completely ignore this. In fact don't eat anything 24 hours before the session is due to begin. This will ensure the effects of the alcohol having a faster effect.

PS Don't worry you will eat, only much much later.

2.Begin With The End in Mind

To different people, a session of successful drinking can lead to a different outcome. However I would class these 3 scenarios as an ideal conclusion to a successful drinking session:

Getting Laid
Getting arrested and looking at prison time
Unconscious in an alley lying in my own puke

*3.Getting Ready *

Required items:

Minimum of $80 (ideally borrowed with no intention of repayment)

3 Packets of Cigarettes & lighter (as above)

ID (as above)

A good attitude (later on this becomes just an attitude)

A large bottle of vodka for the morning (see 7)

4.The First Drink

Should be as early as possible and somewhere inexpensive. After all, this is the place where the transformation from a regular guy to a crazy, psychopathic, sex & alcohol crazed thug begins. To begin the session, order a beer and a vodka at the same time. Although people may tell you not to mix drinks. Tell them off.

Rule: Always Mix Drinks. It achieves the desired effects much faster.

Tip: Cider & Tequila

5.Now You're Drunk

And the only things on your mind are more drinks and women. Now the drinks are no problem as you still have a pocket full of money (and you just happened to go to the bathroom when it was your round).However women could be a problem. The problem is that, although in your intoxicated state you think that you are the best looking, best dressed, most charming, interesting, funny guy in the whole bar and really are gods gift to women, the truth is: you can't speak properly; your breath stinks; you have multiple alcohol (and other) stains on your new shirt; and the crap that is coming out of your mouth could put an amphetamine addict to sleep. My solution: Drink faster. There are women out there who will shag people like you. At first they may seem unattractive but as more alcohol is consumed they achieve model like status. Only at this point do you make your move.

6.Food

By this time you are a mean bastard and need some food, fast. However, there must be no messing around with sissy-like salads and crap like that. The food you now devour must be the greasiest in town. If there is nowhere open, go to a 7-Eleven. Buy some butter. Heat it in the microwave and eat that. Only after eating can you continue your session of more drinking, shagging, puking and childish vandalism.

7.The Morning After

Feeling hung over. I have no solution except drink more. You have got such a headache and messed up stomach that not even a bionic aspirin can help you. So go and pour a strong vodka & whatever and knock it back. Repeat this 9 times and the hangover soon becomes a memory. If you woke up in a strange women's bed then congratulations. You just indulged in some mindless, drunken sex without a care about contraception or if the women enjoyed it as much as you but who cares, there are more important things to worry about. Last night this woman looked like a supermodel. So in the morning do not look at here. Her supermodel looks may have changed to Godzilla with breasts. Quickly drink the whole bottle of vodka (see step 2, Note: stash vodka under pillow) in under 2 minutes. Now you may look at the beauty you just shagged. However, move quickly leaving a wrong name and phone number before the vodka wears off. I call this 'the vodka trick'.
