</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Echani as a fighting style has been taken up by the Commander of the Guard where it's 'approval' is concerned. The CM/DCM will no longer process approvals or declinations for this style, rather, should you wish to be approved for its use - please seek the counsel of the CoG.</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>The 3rd round of the 2nd CHL has begun!!</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>ACCLive! Has entered a new phase of promotion! The prospect of ** "Double Awarding"** has been approved by the GM and DGM. From now until the end of November, combatants can gain 2 CF's per win and 2 CF's per every two losses via ACCLive!. SO GO PLAY!! *Tues, Thurs and Sunday Tournament in #acc.</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Also, I have been toying with the idea of giving ACCLive! over to the * Clans - or, at least, allowing them the freedom to control battles on their own. It is in 'thought' right now, but if there's an interest, I'd like to know. Mail me if you have any input.</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>The** Force Pool System** has been released - combatants with battles that started on or after the 1st of Nov should see an OOC in their intros.

Staff

</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Not much on the staff front this week... 'cept for a couple of LoA's. DA Corran's RL kinda got crapped on so he'll be temp-LoA for a bit. I've got the mom coming in tomorrow for the week of Thanksgiving; I'll be here - but minimally.</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Projects have been 'paused' for the holidays. The 2nd CHL will continue to run - but PLEASE adhere to the 'time-out' procedures - especially with the down time the DB usually sees this time of year - no exceptions will be made, sorry.</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>

Reminders

</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Concerning time-outs: If you know you're going to be LoA, you need to "officially" request a battle extension, even if I know you're going to be gone. 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>_To have a competition 'set up' through the ACC, the coordinators need to mail the CM or the DCM. Once all the specifics of the competition (to include awards) have been worked out, the CM or DCM will submit the competition FOR YOU! This is to cut down on the last-minute "hey, remember that competition I told you about 5 months ago and haven't brought up with you since... yea, well... it's starting tomorrow..." stuff. This way, we can track your competitions and make sure they get set up properly and in a timely manner - "forgetting" about it becomes our fault, not yours. _</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>

Tip Of The Week

</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Down Time</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>The ACC is a strange beast - with 'games' you just don't play, or no one is online over the holiday times - but the ACC still runs. Because of that, please roll with the 'battle extensions' if you need them - it'll suck to go away on vacation and come back to find that you lost all your battles because of timing out. Also, don't wait until the last minute - just because you beat the cut-off for when you're not going to be around doesn't mean that the extension will be granted - you still have your opponent to worry about. Timing out is part of the 'game' and more than ever combatants are ceasing to be 'peered' into thinking that it's a bad thing, thankfully. So, don't think that you'll be able to make them think that they're being a d**k or whatever if they don't honor the extension request.</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Anyway, until next week - have a good one!</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" width="90%" bordercolorlight="#1B1B1B" bordercolordark="#000000" id="table2"> <tr> <td>DA Dalthid</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Combat Master</td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>
