A brief news post advertising our October event and a vacancy in our Summit. First up...

Null Zero begins today on the 14th October. This is the first chapter of several.

If you haven’t already taken a look at the fiction for this first chapter, take a look at the Discourse Forum.

We have the following competitions for you.

Beasts to the Lyre - Multimedia Competition

Catch. That. Scientist. - Fiction

When Blockades Fail - Star Conflict PvE

Our gaming competition is a little different, as it consists of 4 smaller competitions. Each competition will gain participants points to win the overall competition. This means that unlike the usual gaming competition when the first couple of days means that it’s hard to place, anyone has a chance at placing in the top three.

Rules:

This gaming competition is a little different. It will run for 16 days, but be divided into four different segments of four days each, which will be their own competitions listed under this container. Each segment's gaming matches will be added up and clusters counted, and points will be awarded based on who has the most clusters in that segment:

• 1st: 25 points
• 2nd: 20 points
• 3rd: 15 points
• 4th: 10 points
• 5th: 5 points
• Other: 2 points

Whoever has the most points overall at the end of the competition will be the winner, and the top three will receive additional Crescents. Every member will still receive clusters as normal.

Only submissions from Star Conflict will count.

The deadlines for each segment are:

• October 17th at 11:59pm Site Time
• October 21st at 11:59pm Site Time
• October 25th at 11:59pm Site Time
• October 29th at 11:59pm Site Time

Look out for more competitions for Null Zero in a couple of weeks time.

With thanks to Darius aka Cable/Mar Sul for his service as Rollmaster of Naga Sadow for the past several months, we are now in need of a replacement.

We are now accepting applications for the position of Rollmaster for Clan Naga Sadow. The candidate who fills this position will fulfil duties which are broader than the traditional Rollmaster role. In addition to managing the Master-Student Program and welcoming/integrating new joins, the Rollmaster will work with the rest of the Summit on recruitment of new members and retention of all existing members (even those who have been knighted) as well as other associated Clan projects.

Applications will be open until 21st October 2016. However, given the critical nature of having this position filled as early as possible, we reserve the right to close applications earlier than projected on receiving an extraordinary application.

Once again, this position will be open Brotherhood-wide.

Applications should be sent to:

Locke Sonjie, Consul - [Log in to view e-mail addresses]

Sanguinius Tsucyra Entar, Proconsul - [Log in to view e-mail addresses]

Requirements:

• 24 hour email turnaround (excluding leaves of absence).
• Rank of at least Knight (JM4), no previous Brotherhood leadership is required.
• The ability to be present and approachable on Clan avenues of communication (email and Telegram).
• Be available for additional questions or an interview from the Summit.

Tips:

• Address how you will improve the new member integration and Master-Student Program.
• Present ideas for how you will work with the rest of the Summit on recruitment and retention.
• 30/60/90 formats are not required and somewhat discouraged.
• Don't wait until the last minute! This is a critical vacancy and we reserve the right to make a selection prior to the closing.
