Current Ops

</td> </tr> <tr> <td>The** Force Pool System** has been scheduled for release. 1 November 2005 will be the official implementation date. All ACC/ACCLive! battles (to include competitions) starting on 1 November 2005 (and thereafter) will be subject to FP system scrutiny. As a reminder, ALL battles starting/running (even "waiting to be judged" or "closed") prior to 1 November 2005 WILL NOT be effected. You can find the FP System information at the url below:</td> </tr> <tr> <td> http://www.darkjedicrypt.com/crypt/RB_Com/f_p_conversion.htm</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>The Second CHL is running!!! There is one battle left to judge before the first round is over, I will be getting to that after this gets posted. The Second round will start tomorrow (Monday) morning... good luck.

You MUST mail the CM, DCM _and your opponent with the request BEFORE your battle times out. If your opponent says "no"... tough luck, if you "forget" to send your request in time, to those mentioned... tough luck. "Acts of God" and unavoidable instances will be considered - but they will not replace poor planning on your part._</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>*Best of the ACC! *

Officiated By: DA Corran Halcyon Arconae

Do you think you've written one of the best battles in the ACC? Or the funniest? Or do you just want to show off your battling skills?

This is now your chance to have your best battles shown off to the rest of the Dark Brotherhood. For the next week, I will be taking nominations

to determine the "Best of the ACC".

Steps for Nomination:

1. You will go through your own personal Battle History. From there, you will choose up to 2 "Regular" battles and 1 "Funny" battle (i.e. Battles in the Jester's Keep). These battles can be taken from ANY Hall that you have in your history

2. Send the links to your battles to DA Corran Halcyon

That's it! From there the list will then be cut, if needed, to have 20 nominations for the "Regular" category and 15 nominations for the "Funny" Category. However, a couple of rules to keep in mind:

1. Battles cannot already be in the Archive. These are already some of the "best" battles.

2. All nominated battles must have been fully completed and judged. No current battles, half-finished battles or DQs.

Nominations are due by Friday, October 28. From there, the process of finding the Top 10 for each category shall begin. If you have any questions, feel free to contact DA Corran Halcyon at any time. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>

Staff

</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>GRD Langis Gyn Histop has been hired as an ACCLive! Judge - welcome aboard!</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>A "Getting to know the staff" Forum topic has been added for people to get a better idea of individual staff members. Commenting will not be open on the actual topic, but an unpinned topic is available for your remarks, insults and general babbling :)</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>** Staff Hiring: I am always willing to take applications, for any position on the ACC Staff - but there are some things that will/may see you refused instantly. I take "applications" so mails saying "I'd like to apply..." or "I'd like to be a part of the staff..." are not applications. Most times I say "okay, go ahead..." "that's nice..." or "send an app...". No matter how much people want to disagree or argue, these staff positions are "jobs" in the DB. Most of you wouldn't roll up to the HM application process with "I'd like to be HM..." and no application - well, some of you could pull that off, hehe. Basically, if you can't tell me why I should hire you, what good you'd be to the Centre and what experience you have that would be valuable - don't apply!**</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>

Coming Soon

</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>- Team event in the works as a precursor to "The Derelict Code". It won't be related to the co-op, and will only be geared to get people used to writing as a team. It will be of a "fun" nature, in fact, the idea we are working on borders on stupid but I'm sure you'll like it :) </td> </tr> <tr> <td>- The next ACC Cooperative Event, "The Derelict Code" is coming soon.</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>
