Plenty of good news this week, probably better than the math test I just took...

1. New Member!- Welcome to JH Onwai who switched orders from the Sith and has joined Gladius from Tridens.

2. Keepers are victorious- Many thanks to Telona, Dranik, and Spears who won the Inter phyle whodunnit with just the 3 of them. All of them have received Letters of Commendation and will also be rewarded something more, as soon as I put in the recommendation.

3. Awards- Speaking of awards, there's several to announce:

   -Aari wins the Day Job competition and will receive the 1st place crescent.

   -Camile was the first to earn 5 Letters of Commendation, which will be traded in for a DC. There are others that are close to the required 5. Want to know how many you have? Ask Dranik. Camile also won 1st place in the run-on, earning a Cr-S.

   -I got one little CF

   -Dranik once again captures the title of medal guru, having earned a Cr-E (2nd place, run-on), 14 CFs, and a DC.

   -Jason won 3rd place in the run-on competition and earned a Cr-T

4. SA Courses

   -Camile passed his Krath Core exam.

   -Dranik passed Obelisk Test of Skill and HTML Basics courses.

   -Spears passed Sith and Obelisk Tests of Skill, Krath Run-on, and HTML Basics

   -Avenos Fra'e passed his MSN messenger and was also promoted to NOV.

Big congratulations to all these people on their awards and for their hardwork.

1. Competitions- The run-on is still going and there should be another House comp out soon. Until then, there are the KMTs, the run-on, and the Sith War!!

2. Tang'va- I'd just like to reiterate what Sith said. Be cautious with these people, or at least the leaders there of. There's nothing wrong with joining small "families", and the intention behind the Tang'vas, while redundant to the Envoys and EPs, is good, but there's suspect things happening which didn't happen until the Tang'va showed up. If ANYONE receives SA answers from anyone, most notably a Tang'va, let the Headmaster and Sith know. I would also like to know myself. Just let someone know. Cheating is not allowed and while I have hope that this is not the case, heads will roll when people are caught.
