News from the Front:

As you all know I have been placed as AED of the House, most of you know me from my last time as AED/QUA, and know Im just here for something to do to slip away from the monotany of the real world, and hopefully I can help yall do the same. As of right now this is going to be a dull read only report, I want to try and get some flashy images soon for em, and maybe I can get off my dead arse and learn HTML again.....yes I said again. :P

Also I would like to push this subject, get on the DB wiki and post your character, its easy and for those who are inexperienced, just read the tutorial. Also if you have a competition you would like to run, just mail me and Raken, we are very eager to see our members do these things.

The Darwin Report:

I want to add this in with my reports every week as a testament to stupidity within the world at large, this weeks is:

Two men, 17 and 21, who imitated Darth Vader, and made light sabres from fluorescent light tubes. That's right, they opened them up, poured gasoline inside, and lit them. As one can imagine, a Star Wars sized explosion was not far behind. Darth Vader died, while his opponent survived to 'fess up to their creative, but stupid, reenactment.

Also, and this is unconfirmed, but a Pittsburg woman told a gas station attendant that she had spilled some gasoline, and wouldn't pay for it. He indicated disbelief, whereupon she said, "Look I'll prove it," and tossed her cigarette into the puddle. The gas ignited -- proving her point, but landing her in court in 1993 for inciting a catastrophe.

When you hear the words, "Look, I'll prove it," run away!

Title: [SV] Motto Victus Returns!

Requested By: JH Kaliidrad "Kal" Vorrac

Specifics: I have seen many changes in my time as a member of Victus, from when it was forged by my master, passed through the grip of our good QUA, and eventually came to me. When he commanded it, BubbaX had a motto competition, so that us members could come up with the motto. I coined it as "Honour By Blood!" and now I follow my Master's footsteps: I seek someone from within the team to forge a new motto, something to announce to our foes as we bring Plagueis to greatness. So, what's it gonna be?

Title: [CP] October Picture Prompt!

Requested By: DJK Julius 'Tolter' Caesar

Specifics: Plagueis, this is a new competiton designed just as the monthly fictions and poetry events run, except this adds a little more spice into it. I will send a picture to the clan via the mailing list, and you must create a fiction (any kind be it poetry, or fiction) about that picture. This picture must be but a mere snapshot in your story, therefore, you ARE NOT describing what is going on in the picture, you are writing a story about what is going on in the picture.

This is just like giving you a topic to write about, but you have a little more freedom in what you are going to write about.

Start Date: 10/1/2006

Title: The Unseen eye

Requested By: OP Silent

Specifics: Events:

JO SP maps(3)

JA Ladder

JO ladder(4)

Fiction(3-4)

Poems(3-4)

Graphics(3-4)

ACC fight

Ok 1st JO:

JO will have 3 maps put out once a week I will have it where they take a SS of the ending and one has a mission log which I want them to take a SS of each time they complete a recc in the mission. At the end of each week there will be a JO ladder the person who turned in there submissions 1st will get a champion spot meaning they only have to fight for the winner while everyone else fights up to him. After the 3 ladder is done a 4th one will be held where the 1st and 2nd placed winners in each comp will compete and the last person standing will fight me. The purpose of that is for the story where they are really fighting Darth Plagueis the JA will be the same on the 4th week.

Fiction, poems, and graphics, ACC

If people don’t have or want to do JO they can do these this will be like another story line in which he sends them into the same thing as the others but in a writing way. In the end it will lead to a ACC fight with “Darth Plagueis”

For each week I will put out an e-mail for the next comp of MP or writing making it into 2 stories for witch path you take (mp or writing).

Point system:

1st place 5 points

2nd place 3 points

3rd place 2 points

Competing 1 point

So if you get 1st place you can get 6 points.

Awards I want to give out 4th level crescants for the comps and 3rd level for top 3 over all.

This comp as been approved by the CON Sarin and PCON Aabs who can be contacted at:
