This is were some really cool graphics will be once my wonderful husband has the time to do them.
“You did what?!” The Nightsister stared hard at the man in front of her. Sang was silent for a moment. “What was I supposed to do? We can’t fight this alone!” The man’s shoulders sagged a bit; his face, stricken. He looked very much like a man that had already been defeated.
Ashia furrowed her brow. “We have other resources…”
“We can’t depend on him to pull us out every time. He has his own agenda and I will not interfere with that.” Entar interrupted her. The former Consul straightened up and looked cautiously at the Keibatsu. Normally, he would never speak to her that way.
“What is your next move then?” She knew this man well. He always thought several steps ahead. This was not an impromptu move on his part. This was well meditated with different outcomes playing out in his mind.
Bentre stepped forward at this. “We will regroup and drive them from Sadow space.” The newly appointed Consul spoke confidently, his gaze, unwavering.
Ashia gave him a sidelong glance and the just shook her head. Bentre stiffened slightly at this but said nothing. Arrogance crossed his visage sharply bringing a chuckle to her lips.
“So what do you want me to do?” Ashia raised an eyebrow and waited.
“We want you to step back into the roll of Proconsul. To aid in leading us against them and reclaiming our home.” Sang was the one that spoke this time. His manner was soft, almost imploring. Her loyalty to Naga Sadow was somewhat of a mystery and it was unknown how she would react.
The Keibatsu said nothing. Her face empty of emotion as she regarded the two of them. Silently she turned on her heel and as she proceeded to exit the room...
“They have Koji.”
Welcome to the first installment of what the frell is my Proconsul doing now? In it I will lay out my plans, discuss clan domination…uh, er I mean what I have achieved and what we still need work on.
Leadership in the DB
A leader in the club should be able to provide continuous fun things for the members to do without over saturation. I have seen leaders run comp series after comp series after comp series with not much of a break and then wonder why they weren’t getting participation. I’ve also seen leaders not run much of anything, expecting other to do so and their members get bored and leave. Balance is the key.
So how do we achieve that?
Communication
This is an important part of being a leader in the DB. Without it, there’s no clear path and the members get lost. A good form of communication is in the form of reports.
“But Momma Ash! I hate doing reports and it’s much the same from one leader to the next! Why bother?”
Reports let those above you know that you are actually doing your job! It let’s those you lead know you are paying attention to what they are doing. Recognition is important. If you know how to do a proper report, you can do so effectively and efficiently without a lot of regurgitation.
As such I will be rolling out a report schedule for our leadership team. Everyone will be expected to do a report once a month and it will be spread out so as not to overlap too much. You will see this taking effect as of the month of July.
I sent out a questionnaire to all the leaders in Naga Sadow. In it I asked the following questions:
1) Why did you take this leadership job?
2) Do you want to move up in leadership?
3) What kind of time are you able to devout to the club?
4) What goals do you have for your current leadership role?
5) Is there anything your leadership team isn’t doing that you would like to see?
6) Anything else you would like to add?
I have received some wonderful feedback. Thanks to you all for the detail you have provided, it has been very helpful.
I am now in the processes of sitting down on telegram with each member one on one to open the lines of communication, get to know them better and make sure everyone has a clear understanding of what is expected of them in their current leadership position.

I would like to take a moment to give a shout out to our esteemed Rollmaster, Tasha’Vel. She has gone above and beyond the call of RM in greeting new members, returning members and is working hard to get the Black Guard up and going again. Thank you for all your hard work!
I hope that as we move into more of a routine with things and get the lines of communication open we can better ourselves for the sake of the clan. We have some incredible people here. Some have been around for awhile, others are just joining us and getting into the club. My hope is to bring us together more as a unit; make us more of a team.
