This Week in Reality

And so my semester comes to a close. Only final exams remain, but I'm hardly worried. I've done extremely well this semester, and I'm looking forward to seeing my cumulative GPA. I went to my work's Christmas party tonight, and it was a load of fun. The food and everything was really fantastic, and I was only slightly inebriated. :P

This Week in Ektrosis

This week has brought a lot of change in Ektrosis, so I'll highlight the important points:

- Keiran has left us for the Rogues due to real life obligations. I wish him well and thank him for his time as TET. Since Phoenix is so small, I don't feel it needs a Tetrarch at this time.  

- Xuthen has left us for the Obelisk Order. I will not be looking for a new House Envoy any time soon.  

- Apoc is the new TET of Hex Phyle! Congratulations to him!


- The Ektrosis Activity Requirement is now in place. Have you fulfilled it? All you have to do is participate in one competition a month, or remain consistently active on the message boards or through e-mail (spam does not count).  

- The Ektrosis website is now temporarily located at http://www.fuzzystatic.com/~belz/ekky/ until my other host gets his connection issues sorted out.  

- Ektrosis has a new motto: "Descendants of Darkness, Heirs to Hate" thanks to Dark Sabre!  

- Welcome Bane Tora to Ektrosis!  

- In lieu of my rant earlier this week, please do not be afraid to ask/question me or Mal'ari'carun about anything. We're here to work with and for you, not for ourselves.
