Tarentum!

This is, without a doubt, an incredible opportunity for me personally. I'm happy that I get to work with Farrin and Frosty to help motivate and provide for the greatest group of people I know. There's always been a great bond of family spirit in Tarentum, and each of you truly are as close to me as kin. We all draw together in times of hardship, and we spread our proverbial wings and fly together to heights we can only dream of. This is our time to shine.

Somethin' Strange... In The Neighborhood...

Who you gonna call?

I could draw a lot of parallels between the amusing, almost slapstick nature of the old Ghostbusters movie and Tarentum. It was entertaining at the time, made some money, had some people happy, and is still something we watch once in a while; it's being remade. Things are changing, a new cast, a modern take. It's kind of like Tarentum. We had a lot of fun, it's good to reminisce, but yes, we're coming into the modern age of the Brotherhood.

We have a lot on the horizon, even though some of it is already starting to appear. The birth of the Order of Trident, following the footsteps of Pel, under the motivated and bright leadership of his student, Ranarr, is a beacon for all of us. More Factions are on the horizon, and we want to emphasize smaller groups, with more personal attention and bonding to our members. We want to build our foundation and structure for our mutual benefit and growth. And that includes the fun stories of the past. They're fun, we may see hints of them in new areas, but we won't be focusing on them. We want to live in the now, and live in OUR stories, and press forward with the greatness that we will attain as a family.

Awards and Promotions

Ladies and gents. We have people who are playing ToR and racking up some Clusters, and we have members who are contributing to the Reanimated story by competing in the events. Reanimated Chapter 3 is live, and please, be involved. The parent competition can be found at:

https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/competitions/9008

There’s a Fiction Event, an MP Gaming Event, as well as a Dossier Creation Event. Third Level Crescents up for grabs. Mentors, we have a great deal of talent in our Journeymen, make sure to get them involved, and help them formulate ideas. Frosty does a great job trying to help assist and recognize these wonderful members, so make sure we’re all doing our part. For next report, I’m going to go through and pick out everyone who has gotten an award since… oh, let’s say I’m going to recognize people since my birthday, June 1. I want everyone to know how important their contribution to our Clan is.

To Wrap It Up

We all have a lot of opportunities that are opened up here, and we have a ton of Journeymen that we all want to see raised up to DJK and above. We’re trying to implement Factions within the Clan, that mean “smaller class sizes, more personal attention.” We have a success with the Order of the Trident, under Ranarr’s exceptional leadership and Pel as Patron; and we have Raiju and a few others coming up with a Grey option that has me excited for the potential there. Make sure you get involved.

And please, let us know if we can help. I’m not going to say “I have an open door policy” here. Instead, I’m going to track each of you down over the coming month, and we’re going to chat about how we can help you be, or stay, involved, and make this Club more motivating and excited for you here.

I love you guys.
