Devil's Shroud Report #5: The Calm Before the Storms
Well, this last month has been rather interesting for everyone, I am sure. I hope that your Halloween night was not too crazy, and that you have been keeping warm as the November temperatures have been setting in in earnest. I hope that you were not left too drained by Ashes Fall either.
I normally have a little more to be said in this little section, but I think this month I will be a little more brief than normal.
For one thing, I would like to take a moment to thank my former Master, Daedric Turrelles for his service as my BTS. He has already stepped down by the time that this report was put together, but I do not want his service to be forgotten or understated. More on that later on in the report, though.
As we go into November, it appears we are in a bit of a lull leading up to the holidays. I hope that people will take this time to spend time with their families, participate in some more laid back competitions, develop their character, game, or whatever makes them happy. I for one have been spending more time than I care to admit between the Old Republic and a couple of other games.
Somehow my rather brief message stretched out more than I had expected. I suppose I will stop rambling on then. I hope that you all have a good month. If you see me in TOR, feel free to send me a message. I am willing to run around with folks, and help out any way I can!
Oh, and congratulations to everybody in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood who recieved a Seal of Loyalty. You all are what make this such a great place to be!

As my old BTL in Sapphire always said in his report: if it isn't here, I may just have missed seeing you doing things. Feel free to send me a message if I missed something, and I will be glad to give you credit where it is due.

Normally I would have a bit here, but as I have no BTS at the moment, check back here, I will just hang this here:
I am officially opening up for people to apply for the position of Battle Team Sergeant. A lot of the position is going to be working with and tag teaming with your BTL to create some fun opportunities for the team.
You will have a chance to also learn about my job. Mostly I just desire someone who wants to help make Devil's Shroud a great place.
Send me your applications via an email with any relevant experience, why you would like to be a BTS, and what you hope to accomplish in the position. Experience is not a necessity, I just like to know what kinds of skillsets we have to tap into.
I would love to have the position filled by the next time that I file a report, if that is alright. So if you can get an application in by December 11th, that will give me a little bit of time to select a candidate. Now, if I get an absolutely spectacular application, I reserve the right to make a decision. However, this is not terribly likely to happen- as even if I get a spectacular app I wanna give everyone a chance to put in one.
TL;dr
- Ashes Fall ended, Atra died, tears were had
- Lots of news. Go back up and at least give it a glance!
- a brief lull in the action for people to catch their collective breath
- Help wanted for projects
- Devil's Shroud is still an awesome place to be
- I need a new BTS
Final Thoughts
There is not as much time as the holidays set in, and I understand that. I do hope that people will find the time to participate a bit in competitions, or the events of their choice. I am very pleased with some of the efforts I have seen thus far. I know that as we come together as a team, we strengthen our House and the Brotherhood as a whole as the ripples of our actions spread out. Coming into December and the New Year, I hope that you will all be given ample opportunities to shine out in your own ways. If there is anything that I might be able to do to make things more enjoyable, or some event you would like to see realized, I would be glad to assist. I want to help make Devil's Shroud as awesome as it can be. As my title says, all this lull in November is just a temporary calm. There is a lot of excitement coming up, and I hope everyone will take part in it.
As always, if you need anything I can be contacted at [Log in to view e-mail addresses] or on Telegram as @djb_benny. I will respond and assist at my quickest convenience. I am here to help you guys, so don't think yourself any trouble!
As always, I am proud of you guys. Keep rocking, Devil's Shroud, and in whatever you do, remember to do so
