/me bows

Nice to see more of you on IRC and it's always good to have free time to chat idly. I participated in the ICTE this week, won the 3 matches I played which is always nice, and I monitored the activity as usual.

My report was latest so (at least in the Ekky mailboxes), I'm on top... with all the sexual innuendo intended.

This week I'll be adding a section about O:CD and a short Behind the Scenes thing... but first... News.

News

-Firstly, Anga is the new Companion Class Envoy for House Ektrosis. Congratulate her because now she gets to write boring history and recruit random people! Drinks are on her!

-Alaric is finally back and I'm covering for his report in this one, not a whole lot to add from what I was going to do originally...

-Not to steal anything from Shar's report, but I had to write this in...

Tiberius had given KHP Alanna a rather expensive valentine which she immediately showed off to all her friends. Unfortunately, they were rather jealous and sexually assaulted the young Guardian. Inevitably it ended in a lightsaber duel between the DCers, as it always does when women, sex and booze are involved. The group fought until they were very far away. One of them left behind a Crescent with a Ruby star so Tiberius pocketed it (not literally as he no longer had pockets after the mass rape) and gathered the remaining scraps of his clothing.

-The Third Sith War is still raging and Taldryan is in fourth! ALL orders can participate so read the information http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.org/dbjedi/lch/sith/sithwar/)%20and) and start fighting for the glory of Taldryan.

-KMTs this month are "Flame" and "Blind"

-Several new changes were instituted this week, see Consul Katarn's report.

-New competitions started by Kir for Ekky:

<tt><small>Tradition (story)

---

Much of the Ektrosis' past has been forgotten. It saddens the veteran members to
see this, so we would like to try revive some of the old ways. This brings
me to give you this assignment. Research the old ways of Ektrosis and
write a story including the following traditions:

Bouncing (members typically bounce around, unable to control the sheer
amount of energy in their body)
Ice Cream _(members were notorious for their appetite for ice cream)
_Drinking (members were quite often drunk to the extreme, passing out
much of the time)</small></tt><tt><small>

Submissions should be a minimum of 1.5 pages in 12 point Times New
Roman font, single spaced</small></tt><tt><small>. </small></tt>

<tt><small></small></tt>

<tt><small>They should be submitted to both your QUA and AED, as well as CON Kir and PCON Sharad.

Praise Ektrosis (poem)

---

Many people seem to forget how great Ektrosis used to be. Much has
changed since it asserted itself as 1st Krath House of the Brotherhood.
Although still considered the top Krath house, Ektrosis has waned much
since that time. Only when the old ways are remembered and practiced once
again will Ektrosis rise up to its true place within the Krath order.
Write a poem praising what you like now or used to like about House
Ektrosis.

Submissions should be a minimum of 0.5 pages in 12 point Times New
Roman font, single spaced. Submit to your QUA, AED, CON, and PCON.</small></tt>
