Welcome to my first report as chief gopher to Locke. This report will cover the goings on in the Club, talk briefly about Firestorm and the ongoing House events and discuss what’s coming up in the near future for Naga Sadow. So sit back, crack open a beer and put on some Coltrane, because this is going to be smooth...

Ladies ;)

Brotherhood News

The Day of Exodus has come and gone and two of our own got Seals of Loyalty for their work and dedication to Naga Sadow. I’d like to congratulate Marcus and Armad on their seals. Locke and myself also received one each. Obviously my blackmail tactics on the DC are working.

The Journeyman ACC Tournament is underway, with Aul Celsus representing Naga Sadow. If you see him, big him up. We’re supporting him 110% to take the Gold! You can check out his current match here. He’s matched up against Arron Saylos from CSP, which will hopefully set up a nice rivalry for our upcoming Feud with them!

In other news, Yacks, the Consul of Clan Taldryan, has stepped down. Keep an eye out for who will replace him at the top.

There’s also a new Teamspeak Server, for those of you who use it for gaming. You can find the details here.

Cethgus has updated the Cluster rewards for TOR, D3, SC2 and Destiny. He’s always keeping an eye on the balance of the rewards.

Finally, Dacien is always on the lookout for people to let him and Farrin know of any mistakes in the Shadow Academy courses.

Clan News

We’ve seen the end of Operation:Firestorm, with Bentre taking first place and Muz and Darkblade rounding out the top three respectively. Congrats once again to the three of them and well done to all of you that competed.

Marcus has just released an email to the Clan that explains what’s happened, what is The Dominion, what is currently going on and what can I do to get into the game. He’s done an excellent job in explaining the current situation fictionally for CNS.I heartily recommend reading his email entitled [NagaSadow] What is going on!? - The official story

If you’re interested in getting involved with the Aftermath RO, then simply contact the team leader and message Locke or myself to get yourself added to the team. I know Macron is looking for some more minions to join his team.

The Houses are running individual events. We’ve seen some good participation and there are plenty of fun and easy competitions for you to participate in. HMR’s Rest and Relaxation Marka Ragnos Style and HSD’s Operation: Homeland. Darkblade has declared that the winner of Operation: Homeland will become his next Blackguard.

We’ve got an upcoming Gaming Tournament that Cethgus will be running. Each Clan will be putting two members forward to represent them. Locke and I have been in discussion regarding whom would represent Naga Sadow. Expect an announcement from us on who will stand as Naga Sadow’s representatives.

Tasha is looking for a new BTL for Shadow’s Bane. Applications close tomorrow, so get yours in quick. Remember to send it to Tasha and Ophelia and cc Locke and myself in.

Lastly, you may be aware that we've got an upcoming inter-Clan feud with CSP. Locke, Xen, Cyris and I are all hard at work with getting it sorted. We're looking at a start date around the middle of May. Look out for another report closer to the date with a lot more information in it.

You can check out the latest Naga Sadow reports below.

Activity Awareness

Congratulations again to Marcus and Armad on their Seals of Loyalty.

I’d also like to highlight Marcus’ Grand Cross, Darkblade’s Grand Cross and Tasha’s Steel Cross. Their hard work has been recognised with shinies!

Well done also to Bentre and Ophelia on their promotions to Equite Two. They’re not the only ones to get a promotion, as Qyreia joins the Equites.

If you see Dolash on Telegram, say hello to him. He joins us from COU. Dolash and I are old acquaintances and he’s a great guy. Make sure you make him feel welcome!

Lilith also got her Maven in Writing and a Savant in Writing and Philosophy. Good job!!!

Darkblade finally got his Maven in Leadership. About time, skrub. Aexod has grabbed his Maven in Leadership too.

I also got a Grand Cross for being a grumpy old fart. Thanks for making me suffer. Macron got an Anteian Cross and his apprentice, Janos Breaker got a Dark Cross.

Quo got a Steel Cross, Firith got a Dark Cross, Lilith got a Dark Cross and Armad got a Dark Cross too. And finally, Muz got an Anteian Cross.

I’d list everything you guys have done and received, but I would run out of space. I’ve just highlighted the best bits instead and will leave the nitty gritty to our fantastic Quaestors.

Ask the PCON

It’s time for another episode of Ask the PCON.

Ophelia asks: What’s your favourite moment in recent Clan history and fiction?

For me personally, I’d have to say the bit where I got rescued by Leeadra and Firith who killed an Inquisitorius agent to keep me alive. I enjoyed writing it and the idea behind it. I know Firith and Leeadra also enjoyed being involved in Clan Fiction.

What are your plans for the Clan’s progression in the current atmosphere of mad Sarin?

I wouldn’t say Sarin was mad. He seems pretty sane in his convictions. I’d simply say that Sang supports the movement against Sarin IC, yet is intelligent enough to do so on the down low in order to protect Naga Sadow against the Iron Throne’s might. Naga Sadow as a Clan is loyal to the Iron Throne simply because it is expedient to do so.

Can we sacrifice Aul to the ACC gods and acquire his talent?

What's Sang’s plans for the Light siders/path followers coming up?

Originally, I was planning on creating a group of like-minded individuals who would act as Guardians/Protectors of the citizens of the Orian System. They would act as mediators, diplomats and upholders of the law. Whether we still go ahead with that is another matter.

Team Cap or Iron Man?

Out of the 76 culture icons passed this year, which do you miss the most?

Wait, 76 have passed? Crap... I think all of them are missed. But while they touched millions of people, let’s not forget those who don’t affect as many lives. They’re still loved and missed by those close to them. Sadly it has made me realise that I’m dreading the day I hear that Patrick Stewart won’t be around anymore.

Do yooooooooooooou, wanna build a snowman?

Can Sil and Ophie borrow Sangs plush office for meetings in regards to their heritage?

Do we have any plans for after the Feud?

Yep, we’ve got the GJW coming up. Locke and I have also been chatting about making the Houses run more events, maybe even have the Sons run an event. We’ll still be facing the Dominion for a while yet, but there is plenty more out there for us to do moving on.

Will The Dominion be our only enemy going forward or will we be mixing it up now and then to keep things fresh?

Look above. The Dominion is our main Clan enemy for the foreseeable future. However, that doesn’t mean that the Houses can’t have their own enemies to fight as long as it doesn’t detract from the overall storyline.

Any chance at an ACC tourney? House v House style

Potentially. More on that later.

Aul Celsus asks: Where do you see the Clan a year from now?

That’s a hard one, Aul. I’d like to see the Clan continue to grow. I’d like for us to improve the opportunities for gaming and fiction and continue to involve members across the board in every facet of the Clan’s development. We’ll see where we are in 12 months time.

Marcus asks: When can we sacrifice Locke, so that you can take your rightful place as Consul, and I can sneak my way into ProConsul when you're not paying attention? :P

Next Tuesday at 11:39am GMT.

Aexod asks: What strengths and what weaknesses do you believe we have in our upcoming feud?

I’d say our membership is a strength. We’ve got some members who love fiction, others who love gfx and yet more who love gaming. We’ve also got some competitive members who have to be the best. I will always encourage them but also remind them at the same time about sportsmanship and the fact that they represent the Clan. That can be a weakness, but one that can easily be turned into a strength if properly channeled like they’ve done in the past.

Is CNS still the powerhouse of Run Ons after losing Atra and Vexatus?

Did you read the most recent RO in Operation:Firestorm? Have you met Macron? Quo? Bentre? Locke? Qyreia? And many others.

We are Clan Run On.

Do you support or condone inter-House rivalry if it's healthy competition?

I support it, but definitely gotta be a healthy competition.

Sebz asks: what are the Consul and Proconsul doing this summer?

Qyreia asks: What sort of activities, outside of competition participation and wiki editing, can lower echelon members find to serve the Clan and/or Brotherhood? How can the tiers of leadership facilitate this?

The Shadow Academy is always looking for people to help out with course overhauls. You could help to recruit new members with the Recruitment team. You could come to your leaders with event ideas, you could help to run said events for your House or Clan. There are many different ways to be active and help your Clan and club. The tiers of leadership can facilitate this by acting as go betweens, referring you to the right people and giving you the opportunity to get involved and supporting your ideas if they can work.

Firith asks: I was going to ask what beer goes with a porterhouse steak and loaded baked potato, but instead I think I'll ask what tips or tricks can you give us noobs to keep all the different fictions straight? The current RO, Homeland, etc. And second what becomes canon and what doesn't?

Aexod Burgoo, [22.04.16 15:40] [In reply to Firith] La chouffe

Aexod Burgoo, [22.04.16 15:40] Belgian hot dayum good beer

GM Pravus, [22.04.16 15:40] Official djb fiction, vendettas, and gjw as are DB canon. Most clan level fiction is also DB canon, but not always.

GM Pravus, [22.04.16 15:41] Also, dark and Amber beer go with red meat :p

I’ve allowed Aexod and Pravus to answer your question, Firith.

Scarlet asks: Were you in any other Star Wars clubs etc. before the Brotherhood?

Nope, but I was in a Stargate SG1 text based MMORPG called stargatewars. That’s where I met Wulfgar, who introduced me to the Brotherhood 8 years ago now. Nice guy, shame about being a Texan though.

That’s all for this month.

Well, that arduous read has been conquered. Keep up the good work, Sadowans and remember, keep up the fantastic work that you all do!
