Hello everyone and welcome to another Ziost Report. As you may have already read our QUA is having some RL problems, so I will be composing this report. ;-)

Anyways, I have been watching this house very closely over the last few weeks and I am liking very much what I see. We have active members like never before, people are spreading the name of Ziost and we are acquiring new members. We now have 35 members, which means we are at a critical point in our development. What we do now will determine our success as a House in the future and how we appear to the rest of the DB. I would like to say I am proud of you guys and I want you all to keep up the good work. On to business.....

I have seen a lot of tests passed this week. For those of you who are newer members, passing tests is a great way to get noticed and help get you promoted to the next rank. This weeks passings are as follows....

1.) ICQ Studies: Drax Remlinger

2.) Leadership Applications: Drax Remlinger

3.) Conflict Mediation: Drax Remlinger

4.) Sith Flight Studies I; ISET: Drax Remlinger

5.) Dark Jedi Meditation: Nirat Cire

6.) Obelisk Core: Andras

7.) Sith Flight Studies I; ISET: Neziti

8.) Dark Jedi Meditation: Andras

I am also proud of all of you who have been participating in the various competitions set around the DB. A few medals have been rewarded this week to those who have been working hard. They are as follows....

1.) ACO Virulence --> Crescent with Emerald Star

2.) JH Schisca Archaon Azytzeen --> Cluster of Fire

Good job guys, and keep up the good work.

We have four new members this week. I want to welcome all of you to Ziost and Clan Exar Kun. Sorry I wasn't able to send all of you welcome notices, just had some real life issues to deal with. Anyways, welcome to Ziost and if you have any questions feel free to ask me. As for the rest of you, treat the new members with respect and get to know them.

1.) APP Thran Occasus (Sith)

2.) APP Dinero Kapur (Sith)

3.) APP Xavaru (Obelisk)

4.) APP ricky (Obelisk)

We have a promotion this week, so congradulate my Apprentice Ossus al'Tor on his achievement to the rank of Guardian. I must once again apologize to Ossus because Chi put in the promotion for me. The previous recommendation that I input did not go through (I think it was a computer problem) and I completely forgot to submit another one due to RL problems. So sorry Ossus and congrats on your achievment.

Finally, last but not least, I am going to start a new newsletter that will be sent out regularly. I am going to need editors and such for this project and I plan on doing regular competitions and such with it. I will also use it to keep the House informed of everything that is going on and ways to get promotions. Sooooo, what I need are people who can do graphic design, editors, writers, and anything else you can think of. For those of you who are newer to Ziost, this is a great way to get noticed which gets you promoted. If anyone is interested, please send me an email at [Log in to view e-mail addresses] and I will get back to you. I am looking for new ideas other than the ones in my head, so email me if you have any creative idea.

Thanks everyone and have a great week. I am back in action and will soon be back on IRC, meaning in a few hours.....hopefully. So get out there and get active so you all can get promoted and rewarded.

Thanks,
