Introduction

Hello there once again, everyone! I'm back again for your monthly dose of me rambling on and on again about stuff and things regarding the Clan, and I do have some big news for you. So, let's not beat around the bush and get right into it!

Clan Restructuring

This is probably the biggest change thus far, and whilst it's been in effect for a while now, I feel like it's important to go over.

If you see Bubba's Report, then you know about both Ektrosis and Thanatos have been closed. The four leadership positions that were there have been replaced with two M:Con positions. Those positions have been filled by Koda and Valkyrie.

I would like to stress that closing Ektrosis and Thanatos was not an easy decision to make. However, I believe being able to focus on Taldryan as a whole, without the need of dividing it into sub-units, will provide greater benefits going forward.

Recovery: Port Kasiya Edition

Speaking of the new Magistrate positions, Valkyrie recently hosted a series of comps titled Recovery: Port Kasiya Edition. The winners of which are as follows;

• Centam for 1st place!

• Appius for 2nd place!

• Koda for 3rd place!

• Aay'han for 4th place!

Congratulations to you all!

Project Vos

Myself and Teebu are currently hosting a series of comps titled Project Vos: Senate City Edition.

This is a part of Project Vos itself, an initiative designed to give YOU, the Taldryan members, a say in what is in Taldryan space, and how the Clan operates. With this series of competitions, you have a chance to create cities and settlements all around the Caelus System, areas that your characters can be senators of under the Taldryan Republic, if you so wished. Do you want an underwater bubble city? A spice cartel? A cloud city like Bespin? The possibilities are only limited by your imaginations!

These competitions end on the 25th of September! There's still plenty of time to get your entries in!

Republic Celebration

As I'm sure you are all aware, Taldryan reformed, theming itself on the Galactic Republic as shown in the prequels.

Our very own Magistrate and Governor of Elysia, Koda, is hosting a set of Celebration competitions.! There are seven in total ranging from fiction, art, gaming, a puzzle, and more!

These competitions also end on the 25th! And there's plenty of time to craft entries for them!

Pirates of the Saijo RP

We have a new RP up and running! The Pirates of the Saijo! This RP is a prelude to an upcoming Clan event we are hoping to do at the end of the year. I highly encourage everyone in the Clan to watch or participate if they are able. It will be a lot of fun!

Hey, Taldryan. Let's Go Pro Bowling!

No, I could not help the obligatory GTA IV reference.

We have been invited back for the Pro Bowl everyone! I'm going to steal this next bit from one of Slagar's most recent report; (Don't worry, I got permission.)

Pro Bowl 2022 is a three-week, multi-event competition designed to test each and every member of the attending units. An opening event will determine which order our teams will have in a Draft-style event led by the Pro Bowl organizers. The teams will alternate their selections until the entire roster of all attending units are split between them, with equal parts of each clan ending up on each team. Once the roster is set, the teams will battle it out in a series of events spread over the course of three weeks. Events will include the standard fare of Fiction, Graphics, Gaming, and Trivia, along with some less common events designed to help test each member participating. We're aiming to provide a nicely rounded field when it comes to the competitions on offer, with nearly all of the events set for individual entrants aside from one small group fiction.

Schedule:

The Pro Bowl will be running on a very similar schedule to last year, with our prologue week event starting September 26th. Then, we will have three single week rounds following that with the entire event ending October 23rd. Full week by week breakdowns are as follows:

Prologue: September 26th - October 2nd Week One: October 3rd - October 9th Week Two: October 10th - October 16th Week Three: October 17th - October 23rd

If you want to see how the scoring system works, check out Slagar's report HERE.

I'm looking forward to this! Taldryan has been a part of the Pro Bowl before, and this one has six Clan's of the Brotherhood in it! it will be fun to be back for this, and I hope you guys are as excited as I am!

AskAppiusAnything!

It's that time again where you guys ask and I will answer!

• Koda Asks: Can there be a very western themed show off against a pirate involving quickdraws?

Does that answer your question? 😀

---

• Dasha Asks: How much enemy destruction would Appius promote in the incoming fight?

<-

And does that answer your question? 😉

---

• Ankira Asks: What would you do if you were locked up in a bouncy house for 24 hours?

Literally jump and bounce all day. What other answer is there?

---

• Jorm Asks: Would Appius ever open, finance, or endorse a canned goods company titled The Candalorian?

Yes, it will be TEAD's next big project!

Conclusion

That's all for now, guys! The Pro Bowl starts soon, and I do hope you are all as excited as I am to take part in it!

For now, until next time,
