Welcome to this week's Aedile Report. It's not as big as usual since there hasn't been all that much going on, but there still enough to write a report. Yes, this is early, but I'll be really busy over the weekend so I'm just going to get it out of the way while it's on my mind. Thus, without further ado, begin!

~ The Great Jedi War has now started, and will run all the way through the end of August. For more information on that topic, however, scroll down to the war section. All Tuesday/Thursday gaming, Sunday Tournaments, and ICTE are closed for the duration of the Great Jedi War. Thus, if you're a gamer, the only way to game now is for the war, so let's get out there and show our stuff! Clan Transfers will no longer be accepted, but transfers from and to the rogues will be.

~ A quick note on that ACC Ladder poll I ran a week ago. I've started working on a plot for it, and when I finish I'll pass it on to Scorpius for him to add his input. However, just so you know, even once it's finished and ready to run we'll have to wait until about a month after the war ends so you all are recuperated. Saying that, I'm hoping we can do this thing all throughout the month of October.

~ The latest Brotherhood Advancement Report has been released. While you don't have to read it, there is some pretty interesting stuff in there. Macron was named DSC Tribune, and has started working on that. Applications are being excepted for the EP spot on the Lightsaber Basics exam, and some more problems with the war were fixed. Also, Khyron was excepted into the Hall of Imortals, which I hope you will all read! That's pretty much what happened in the brotherhood this past week.

~ There's not much happening in Exar Kun right now besides the war, and Scorps and I have finished all our projects. Oh yeah, remember to go read the Exalted Lords of Kun information and the Ash Citadel Guard information. Ashura is the first Guard Commander, so talk to him if you have any questions.

~ When Braecen was QUA he put into effect guidelines for which you would earn merit awards. It involved you doing things in the ACC, SA, and GMRG in order to earn some merits. Well, I really like the idea, so I have decided to put it into effect again. Now, some of these like the SA one are very easy, but take a little time. There are at least thirty SA courses out there, and soon more, so at all costs that challenge should be the most popular one. Already four or five people have won an award because of these, so that just goes to show that I'm not kidding. Also, in order to make sure I don't forget anyone, please email me when you complete one of the challenges listed below.

• Shadow Academy: 25 Course Passed - Star of Antei

• Antei Combat Centre: 10 Wins (or 20 matches) - Dark Cross; 20 wins (or 40 matches) - Star of Antei; 30 wins (or 50 matches) - Steel Cross; 40 wins (80 matches) - Grand Cross

• Grand Master's Royal Guard: Sentinel 1 - Dark Cross; Sentinel 4 - Star of Antei; Guardsman 1 - Steel Cross; Guardsman 4 - Grand Cross of the Dark Side

~ Battle Teams, what can I say about them? Well, if I were to describe them in one word it would be awesome. It's because of battle teams that I am a Sith Battlemaster and Aedile of this house, it's because of battle teams that Scorpius became Quaestor, Salth became Pro-Consul, despite what some may think battle teams are the base of everything that goes on around here. They're an easy way to earn medals in simple competitions, and a great way to be noticed by those higher on the totem pole then you. What I'm saying, though, is that a battle team is a great way to move up in life and flourish, so I really encourage you all to join one. Right now, we have two; Exar's Shadow that is a gaming team, and Blades of Kun that is a writing team. If you are interested in either of them, just contact the commander and me and you'll be on the roster before you can say, "Battle Teams!"

~ Since I'm hoping everyone is putting all their DB attention into the war, there weren't too many awards given out. There were, however, still some courses passed, and congratulations to those people. Also, welcome back to the house Khan, Founder of Clan Exar Kun!

The results for four of the events were just released on Thursday, and I won third place in one event. This shows that we can do it, we just need more participation. Plagueis is in last place right now, but we're catching up, so let's go out there and show our stuff! You can find the results page here

Here's my report. As usual I hope you all enjoyed, and if you ever have any questions about the house or war feel free to ask. Also, I'm expecting pretty much all requests to have a debate with me for the IRC event, so just send me over an email if you think you can handle me grins
