Introduction

Hello my fellow Pallians, our colleagues in Karness Muur and onlookers from the outside. In this month's report, I'll be going to cover the soon to start war, as well as the earnings of our members, happenings from elsewhere in the club and the monthly dose of history stuff. So without further adieu, let's get right into it.

GJW XII

So yeah, the thing is almost here. But fear not! We are one and we will do our utmost best to show everyone what we can do. From my experience we usually show up in these types of events. While some people may have had previous experience of a war, it'll be the first time for some, or like me, the first time you can really sink your teeth into it.. No matter how many wars you've been through in the past, I know that you'll all do your best and make me proud to be your Quaestor. The evil Collective have attacked the Brotherhood and mostly taken people's mind off the little matter of that dude who was telling people to blow stuff up. Mav, despite his reputation for being the worst, provided some useful war info including a couple gaming sign up forms. Also, while I personally find Arden's seal schtick to be overdone, they are awarded for participation in the war and will help to line your pockets, every comeptition entry counts for something.

Also with the announcement of "bins" which sound like containers for types of competition and how they worked in the previously mentioned Mav thing, participating in any single competition in a bin grants equal participation to doing everything. While I'd like to see us go 100% across the board, just get something in for as much as you can and I'll be proud. I too am a human being and so can understand things happen, or certain types of thing are just beyond you. There are 5 team events announced so far, (Run-On, Battle Plan, Voice Acting, Graphics and Text and HotS 2v2 Tourney) If you are looking to find a team for these let me know, I can try my hand at a few of them and I can see what other people are doing. I'm not sure about the size but Furios and Az were putting a team together a few days ago, might be worth asking if they've spots open.
