CONSUL REPORT #5 for Week Ending 30-/05/2003

Dark Greetings Brethren of Arcona,

Clan News:

Clan Arcona Web Network:

This was a project myself and JaM3z headed back when we were in HQD. He has all the coding done now, so it's just up to me to get layouts done. This network integrates ALL the Battleteam, House and Clan site into one database. This means that all competitions are logged, news posts can be made from one point across all web-sites - basically it's an amazing facility we have at our hands, but we aren't really using to the full extent. Now that I've finished Uni I'll have a lot more time to the things done in Arcona. I don't care what others think, but the DB is a web-based club where web-sites are the most important aspect of information. Thus I feel it's imperative we get ALL websites to a high standard.

As I said above, the Qel-Droma Network is complete and I'd really like you all to take a look at it: http://www.harpoen.nl/~jam3z/arcona/ all links to both House and Phyle sites can be found here. Galeres and Oriens Obscurum I'd like you to really take note of this and then I'd like the QUA and BT Leaders to mail me with details of what they want on their layouts. I'd like details on colour schemes, pics you want incorporated, what links you need on the nav bars etc.... I'm putting myself forward to do the layouts, but if House or BT members wanna do it - I'm even more for that! I look forwrad to hearing from you in the coming days.

I also put a poll up on the Arcona website regarding a new layout, and I've decided to go ahead with it. While JaM3z's original is really nice, I feel that we need a more Dark Jedi-ish feel to the Clan site. Plus it gives me something to work on.

_**Arcona Activity Centre:

**_Our "l33t" Proconsul, Pontifex Voranyen d`Tana, has a fantastic project in development, as the title suggests, it'll be known as the Arcona Activity Centre. This will be a base of operations where all the fun wee competitions will be run from. It'll be a place where Journeymen and Yeomanry can quickly pove their activity alongside the use of Order Leaders competitions. There will be a wide variety of activities and if you can think of anything you'd like to see in it, please e-mail [Log in to view e-mail addresses].

Exodus:

In a future far, far away, Grand Master Pyralis, after returning from his retirement on an unknown planet, looked at the assembled students in the largest class room of the New Shadow Academy and took a deep breath.

"The universe is indifferent to the little struggles of mortal beings, their fear, their hopes, the successes and failures. Our lifetimes are nothing compared to the bigger picture, yet sometimes, some of us influence history in a way that at least a little part of the universe, our very own galaxy, will remember us. Not necessarily as individuals, but as a group. If this remembrance will be good or bad is always decided by our actions and the view of those who learn of us later."

The old men took a break and let his eyes wander to the electronic records in front of him. Memories, bitter and sweet, rushed back into his mind, some of which he would rather have forgotten. But they were nevertheless part of history.

"In our galaxy, in a part called the Outter Rim, a change happened that did influence stability and economics at a large scale, and in several regions at that. As most of you know, we were once a part of the now destroyed Emperor's Hammer. Yes, the Brotherhood was not an organisation by it's own right, but was ruled by a Dark Jedi called Ronin and his hand Astatine, another Dark Jedi who dreamed of ruling us all with less regard to each of our potentials.

I was there at the time. I have seen what can happen if control is overdone, if the rules are so strict that true development is impossible. I have seen it, and I was Headmaster in the end times of our stay with the Hammer. In fact, I was one of The Seven!"

A murmor went through the room. Probably most of the students had heard of the events and knew of the importance of The Seven. Pyralis was very sure that most of them knew his name before he mentioned the past, yet they must have had a hard time to belive that the fragile looking old man talking to them was one of the most feared and admired Jedi of the time of the Exodus. He smiled to himself. He was old, and maybe he wouldn't have much more time left. But he needed to bring the records to the new generation.

"We broke from Hammer control for several reasons. One of the main reasons was a planet we had discovered in uncharted areas, some distance away from Hammer territory. The planet, as you can guess, is Antei itself. Antei is special, as you all know. Yet, when we told ronin that we would like to settle there, most of us at least, the leader of the Hammer felt that his control over us might be lost if we were so far away. From his point, I guess it made sense to deny our request. But he had not paid attention to the strong feelings our Jedi had about this. No Force user on the quest for power and in his right mind would let a chance like this go. We prepared for the worst and let Ronin know that either he'd agree or we would leave the Hammer. Of course, he didn't agree.

How we got to Antei is for another lesson. Today, I will show you the records of us leaving the grip of Ronin and his consorts. They didn't like us leaving. They tried all things possible to make it hard for us. But we prevailed. "

The old man lifted up the records in front of him.

"Here are the records of those who left. Some of them are long dead, many are still alive. All of them had a unique perspective on the happenings. I want you to read through them, study them carefully. When you are done, you will know more about what had truly passed than our somewhat imprecise official records could tell you. Each of you grab a copy. We will discuss this further in one week time. For now, I need a place to rest..."

Your task: Write one of those records describing the Exodus. Tell us what your character(s) and/or others went through during the flight from Hammer territory. The story should start with leaving or just having left your clan's home and end with arriving in the unknown territories without mentioning any new systems you might end up in!

Your writing can be in first person format if you like, but it does not have to be. It also does not need to center around your character only, because the record could be written by anyone else but you (aka, you can write about things that happen someplace where your character isn't present). You can also write together with someone else if you want to. Try to stick largely to writing about your own clan so that stories from the different clans don't contradict tooooo much.

The closing date is about 6 weeks away, so that hopefully every clan will have designed new home planet systems by the time the winning stories are announced.

Minimum length is 2 pages Arial 12 pt. No maximum length.

Closing date: June 21st. Send your entries to [Log in to view e-mail addresses]

Make sure to include ID line(s). If you have clones, you can send in a submission for each clone, of course.

Alliance Inter-Club Training Night:

I would like to ask all Consuls inform their clans about the Inter-club Training event that is taking place tomorrow(Saturday the 17th) at 4 pm EST in #Outerrim . We will be awarding all members who participate in the following way: Any win will be awarded a Cluster of Fire, while three losses will also give a Cluster of Fire. Games supported are as follows: Jedi Knight, Jedi Outcast, Xwing Alliance, Xwing vs TIE Fighter, SW:Galactic Battleground, and Star Trek Armada 2: Star Wars Fleet Command... For more information, check out http://www.chaoslogic.com/db/message_board/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=314 ...

This even if very important for the DB, as it will show the various other clubs that we are an active organization, willing to participate in gaming, and unlike the stagnation of past affiliations, we will do our part to keep this thing running. So please, make sure to let your members know again! I want to see representatives from each Clan there! :)

_**Conclusion:

**_I have never heard from former QUA, SBM Blackflame, which makes me confident my decsions was correct. He is clearly far toio buys with otehr aspecst of his life and as such was not the kind of leader Oriens required. Halcyon, your efforts so far have proved to me your appointment was correct - keep it up.

I am now free from Education until September - so I plan to get loads done for Arcona. As you'll have read above, I want to get our online "packaging" as glorious as it can be. I juts had a brainwave - KHOBAI I DUNNO IF YOU READ THESE, BUT REMEMBER THAT ARCONA LAYOUT YOU DID AGES AGO, CAN WE USE IT??? Once all the sites look good and the summit get used to using them as much as possible, then we can work on other areas of the Clan. I know there is to be a Vendetta this summer and it'l be a slobber knocker - written and master minded by ex-Uber-PCON Khobai. So I'll be ploughing on with as much work as possible over the coming months - any ideas - send them my way and we'll see if we can't get them implemented.

Take part in all the comps that are going on guys, I'd be particularly pleased if some of you would do Independance Game #17 - your Consul's very own! Cheers! there is about 1 week left so take a look for the comps with low participation and you can earn yourself a REALLY easy Diamond Crescent.

As always, if anyone has any problems at all then please don't hesitate to contact [Log in to view e-mail addresses] or [Log in to view e-mail addresses].
