version 1.01

weekly deep thought:

"If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is

"God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing

to tell him is "Probably because of something you did.""

and now....the news:

jac returns

"who's that hot babe that just walked in on our summit meeting?" - shadowhawk

as reported by jac cotelin himself:

"It's been a long time guys, and for that I apologize. I've been through

a lot in a very short ammount of time and you all know how real life can just

take over very quickly. I'd like to thank you all for your patience with me during

my leave, and for each and every person who e-mailed me with support. I have a

wonderful group of friends here, and I'm honored to serve with you. I am glad

that you were confident of my return. I could never leave a club like this.

I unfortunately, didn't have the patience to go through and read/reply to all

of my e-mail. I have read everything that looked important, but i haven't replied

to most of them. If there is something you need me to look at, please mail me

again.

I will be working over the next few days to get up and running with the summit

again and to try and get ahold of where we are in terms of rosters and such.

I am in need of someone who can update the Taldryan eGroup for me. I will reward

with a medal. e-mail me if interested.

It's good to be back."

jac can't get on irc

"if you don't connect, i'm gonna kick you in the head....the head that you

don't have" - jac

as reported by semore butts:

"In a recent turn of events at 5622 finchnest way, the internet connection

which had previously proved reliable for Grand Master Jac Cotelin has suddenly

decided to go on strike. With big pickets reading 'Unable to resolve IRC server,'

Jac Cotelin's connection decided it would no longer stand for idling or talking

on IRC. The leader of the Connection Rights Union refused to comment.

In a fit of rage, the Grand Master threatened his computer, but the connection

was still lost. Will Jac be able to connect in due time? Only the IRC god knows

this."

"mmmmmm....i love holocrons" - ch-ch-chi long

The Holocron - 10th June 2001

In times long gone, Holocrons were the source of valuable and prized information

and knowledge, treasured by Jedi, from both the Light and Dark Sides of the

Force. The devices carried the thoughts, memories and personal experiences of

Jedi Masters, allowing their vast knowledge to be passed on to future generations.

Today, the Dark Brotherhood Holocron continues that tradition, by keeping students

of the Dark Side informed of events within the Brotherhood of Dark Jedi...

[Technical housekeeping]

It seems that a few people had difficulties with the HTML-formatted version

of the Holocron. It seems these are slightly more obscure email clients (like

Groupwise and Lotus Notes. Why the hell are you people reading DB news at work

anyway? :P) that seem to be displaying the problems, while in other cases, it

seems to be isolated incidents of it

not working with one or two people on a particular platform while it works for

everyone else. There's also the issue of the size of the HTML format itself.

The template is 17K and the version I emailed out is 27K. Because of the mechanics

of email, the actual amount of information sent by me and recieved by you is

closer in the realm of 35-40K. For an email with just text information in pretty

packaging, this is a lot of data to send and to recieve and is probably hammering

the group server pretty hard. So, I'll be using a text-only format from now

on. Onto the announcements...

[Announcements] GM

Well, finally I have managed to purchase a laptop. Had to take the train to

Taichung to do it, but I've got one,

a network card, and all my graphics software installed. Now I just wait till

Monday (well... hopefully... maybe a

day or two longer... but I hope not) and I will have ADSL from home.

That means that I'll be on IRC more often (although it'll be at odd hours compared

to you western living folks).

It also means I'll be able to do things like graphics, etc.

In any case, I'll be very pleased to be back fully and hope to get things rolling

again here very shortly...

This is an addition to my "announcement" earlier...

I would like to take this time to announce that DGM Astatine and I have selected

the new KHP.

For those of you not in the loop, the last KHP, Voranyen, unfortunately had

to leave the spot. He will be missed.

We received a lot of applications, and the one we feel best fits the position

is KE Mairin. So I hereby grant the

position of KHP to her. Also conferred to her is the rank of KPN, as it is to

all those given an Order Leader

position.

Please join me in welcoming Mairin to the DC. I'm certain she will do us proud.

[Announcements] DGM

  1. The EH Ladder has some new toys. On the top right, there is now a table with

the total members and the top

3 people from each ladder, with their respective points. There's also a poll

on the lower left under the menu.

These two items appear on every page. The individual ladders also now display

how many members they have.

Remember the ladder ends on 4th July. Shouldn't be too hard for you Americans

to remember.

  1. Sign up to the new Holocron because..it's..like..cool! You can sign up at

http://www.ehnet.org/mailman/listinfo/holocron_ehnet.org

  1. I'm pretty disappointed at the effort displayed by house and clan summits

in reporting and promoting the

Complet I was running. Between when I mailed the summits and when it ended,

only one report mentioned the

competition. Two submissions were sent. I'll be expecting a much more rigorous

promotion of any future competitions. And simply forwarding the details isn't

good enough. :P

  1. Events for the next DB Comp have been pretty much worked out in rough detail.

Just gotta finetune it.

[Announcements] MAA

  1. The roster currently stands at 911 members. That's up from last week's count

of 898. However, I expect this

number to drop when the Headmaster gets around to removing apprentices who have

not completed the

Shadow Academy within 60 days.

  1. A note to all members: Please DO NOT apply for a transfer to Clan Alvaak

by using the transfer request form

at the DB site. This causes several problems when I try to approve transfers

from others. If you want to be a

part of Alvaak, please email the Consul directly.

  1. The following appointments were made during the past week:

KAP Arion Sunrider (Krath)/P:HRLD/QUA/Aleema of Satal Keto

DJK Sith Bloodfyre (Krath)/AED/Gladius of Tarentum

OW Sharad Hett (Obelisk)/M:CoG/QUA/Dinaari of Taldryan

DJK Dakhar Zak'hun (Obelisk)/AED/Dinaari of Taldryan

  1. The following noteworthy elevations were made in the past week:

SBM Proton (Sith)/QUA/Tridens of Tarentum

KP DarkArchon (Krath)/Ektrosis of Taldryan

DJK Sith Bloodfyre (Krath)/AED/Gladius of Tarentum

That's it this week.

[Annoucements] SHW

1) I'd like to remind everyone that I am still looking for beta testers. Their

main job will be to review submitted DB battles and missions. The more we have,

the faster we'll be able to go. When those missions are deemed ready for DB

circulation, we can make them available to the DB at large, reward the creator

and then send them for TAC approval.

2) The Avenger is back at 106 pilots and the Subjugator still stands at 1 (must

be one lonely commodore :P). The applications for WC of both Wing XIX and XX

are due today at the latest. We'll start interviewing the best candidates starting

tomorrow.

Phoenix and Hex Phyle respectively. Welcome aboard, guys. =)

  • House Trivia is back, brought to you by Mr. Raistline. It doesn't matter

show you care. You

should see the answers I wrote for the Avenger Trivias... Kale almost died

from laughing, but hey, I got second place one day. =P

  • Work on the Taldryan HQ for the Operation Mirror has begun. More

information on the Mirror can be found at http://www.taldryan.org/mirror/.

dinaari news

"I like my house more" - sharad

Ok I know it's been a while since my last report and I'm sorry. I couldn't

send through the e-mail server I was receiving from and I was too lazy to use

hotmail. Anyhow I've got this new e-mail address and I'm gonna make myself

write a report weekly again. Ok first off for all you who either don't know

and didn't get the e-mails or you've been on IRC and are just plain idiots,

then I regret to inform you that Kir has resigned as QUA. However, I'm sure

we can make do without him, so let House Dinaari prosper. Ok onto the news.

The HM is sorting through all SA exams quickly so luckily we're getting a few

new recruits. :) Also, the DSC test is up for those that were unaware. It's

available at the HM's website though I don't have the address here to post.

You should be able to find it on the DB website.

The website is more or less finished for those that have not noticed. I

update it with new news when I see fit and roster and brigade updates happen

the same day as I get e-mails from the MAA. I hope to add some PHP so that

many of these features will be automatic and even easier to update. I also

hope to add some Clan Taldryan graphics on either side of the House Dinaari

logo. Anyhow keep comments, ideas, and criticism flowing to my inbox.

Ok now that Kir's gone and there are no competitions I'm going to start trying

to get some fun activities started. If you have any ideas please send them my

way I'm open to anything.

Also, I'll be compiling a written report on how to get promoted to certain

ranks. One of the easiest things to do at the moment is to participate

heavily in the ongoing EH Ladder. I would really love to have Dinaari members

as the majority of the top spots on the ladder. It would look really good for

our house and would probably have recruiting benefits as well. Anyhow we're

doing well so far, so keep up the good work.

Guys let's get to work on the Operation: Mirror for Taldryan. I only have one

submission for the first part of the Obelisk section of this project. That

came from ACO Shadow to give him credit. I expect lots of entries and a whole

hell of a lot more participation. I'll be working on some stuff myself soon.

http://www.taldryan.org/mirror

Well as long as this report is I better have covered everything. :P Look at

the bottom for the current roster.

Weekly QUA Report- #14

W/E 06.07.01

1.) News-

2.) Promotions- And or Resignations- AWOL's

3.) COMP -Status

4.) Activity Levels-

5.) Comp Ideas-

6.) House Activity Roster-

1.) <NEWS>

>If there is any one in the house that knows of a new member having probs

>getting stuff done for the SA please let me know I know of two or three

and

>I am already waiting for a mail

from the HM on this..

>Ok just when you thought it was over Predator has come up with a new plan

>for the squads I think this is an awesome idea and should promote activity

>for the house as well.

Here is the new system of QUA Escort for the approval of the house

leadership.

Each month the three battle teams will be going for the prize of QUA Escort.

With this prize will come along a nice graphic which can be used on the

squadron website and of course the

fact that they can show off to the rest of the house.

It would also be put towards another comp, which would be held once a year

in which the battleteam with the most overall wins would be declared

champions of Achanis and they would

receive many rewards from the house leadership and could then show off for a

whole year!

The system is modeled closely on the Avenger Wing Commanders own system but

it has been infused with a dark brotherhood type feel.

The system works like this every week Battleteam CMDR's will report what

they squadron has done and the amount of points earned this will go in the

CMDR's report if the CMDR does

not report then that battleteam loses all that weeks points.

Without further ado here is the point's for all activity (this is as full as

I can make it but you may want to add something)

Graphics: images, banners, animation, made "by scratch"= 6

Fiction: Stories, plotlines for missions, etc by the page = 5

Web Page design: "From Scratch" = 20

"Weekly Update" = 10

IWATS Courses all Courses= 15

Custom Made battles/Mission = 30 per mission

Each win at Achanis Training = 5

Pilot File Submissions: These will be 2 points per mission for non-Dark

Brotherhood battles and 4 for DB battles.

Winning comps with another squadron = 40

New member recruited = 15

Any other Brotherhood related activity will be at the QUA and AED

discretion.

Please note to claim the points for any activity all submissions must be

sent to the correct person and battleteam CMDR's must be cc.ed!

As an extra comp to run along side this each month CMDR's must keep records

of who has scored what points the most active Sith of all will be named the

Sith Champion for that month

and will be awarded a War Cross.

Normal medals will be awarded for high level of activity but this makes sure

if you are the most active you will get something.

Ok Squad CMDR's this start tomorrow so use this system to grade your pilots.

J

2.) <Promos-Resignations- or AWOL's>

I also have two Promo's out this week waiting for approval- These two Promos

are due to the members using the Jedi Trials with out that they may not have

gotten their promo's so

quickly J

Medals- I have 1 request pending this week for this.

3.) Comp Status- This months Battle are- New battles for next month now get

those submissions in.

TIE-#64

XvT-#7

IW-XWA #22

4.) Ok Activity levels- I am going to leave this on the report for a few

weeks in case some of the new members did not understand or get it.

JEDI TRIALS

.................

5.) Comp Ideas- Ok here were all the suggestions I got for Comp IDEAS so am

idea I will use to help people get promos is for you to mail me with one or

more Comp ideas if they are

good enough I will prob promo you :P good way to get an easy promo J

1)Fiction writing- Ok Site power-up has shut down forever so we need a new

MSG board if any one knows of a place where we can get one lemee know and I

will get it set up. Until then

SH please post the most current Runon you have on the E-group and we will

continue there with it.

2.)Weekly XvT-XWA Comp-WR for each win and a SC for the overall winner for

XvT-XWA- I know some people said they would be happy to host this. So I need

a quick mail from

you folks to let me know what times you are available we might want to make

two of these comps to accommodate some of our Over seas members. Melee match

winners get a DC,

overall winner for each comp Platform gets a WR.

This is on Sundays from 2-4 EST on channel #archanis- Demos is hosting this

so please join us for this event..

6.) If you mailed me and I did not keep you at #1 then mail me and I will

change it bak :P Shups what this is for is to keep Track of how many weeks

its been since I have had a mail or one of

my Command Staff has had a mail from you. Or something that shows you are

alive. :P 1-4 if you get to 4 that prob already means you are on the way to

the Rogue list. J So just mail me or

ShadowHawk the AED or one of the CMDR's of the Battleteams and we can keep

track that way of how you are doing .

Ok for those of you in your last week here either mail me or one of my

Command Staff and they will let me know you are still here J

That's all for the report if I missed something mail me.

Thank you for your Attention.
