I can't leave you without your least favorite reading material every week, can I ? :)

For this report, I'll have to borrow a section from Jac... hey Jaccles, would you mind handing me that one over there ? Yes, that one right under the

tag! Thanks!

BIG PROPS

I give my very personal props of the big... no... grand kind to my Praetor, Krath Priest Spears Tarentae.

I herewith award Krath Priest Spears Tarentae a Grand Cross based on his work for the Shadow Academy.

Since his appointment as Magistrate and later Praetor to the Headmaster, KP Spears has been an instrumental part in keeping the Shadow Academy flowing smoothly. Not only is he consistently keeping track of the Envoys and course grading, he also is a backup teacher for each and every course on the roster, ensuring an extremely smooth flow of grading. Beyond this, he is always on the lookout for areas to improve and problems to fix. His dedication and reliability in his job is exemplary and I am convinced that in due time, Spears Tarentae will become a candidate for the office of the Headmaster.

It has been a long time for him and I hope that we will work together for a long time to come. I can only wish every Dark Council member an assistant so reliable and able to keep track of everything that needs doing or deciding in the office.

My most heartfelt thanks!

So there, congrats on your shiny new Grand Cross!

Thanks, Jac, here's your section back :)

Now on to the Independence Games. I have so far received 27 events for people to play. That is a bunch, but the goal is higher. So those QUAs, AEDs, CONs, PCONs and especially Dark Council members who haven't gotten theirs in yet... I got your names and I have seven hired assassins from Bothawui right next to me. And they've been through the special "The Dark Side for assassins" Shadow Academy course. So watch your back.

And with that, I'll return you to your regularly scheduled programming. Or to your IG event preparation if you're covered by the previous paragraph...

PS: Head Count results will be out soon! 15 submissions make grading these a pleasantly difficult task!
