Plenty of really good, interesting information in this report. Do read…

Project updates

Fictional Reality is nearing final completion. Dranik is in the process of coding it up, and then he’ll post it on the SA site. The final post will have lots of SA information that you should find interesting, and helpful even, in the future. Of course, we don’t want to call it Fictional Reality on the SA site. So, what should we call it? Remember, this is a general introduction datapad given to all members. Post any ideas in the comments section.

History of the Sith Empire II is up and running, with proper edits made. Thanks to those who caught our oversights. Try as we might, we are human. Number 3 is in the works, as are a few other courses.

I finished a course count this past weekend, and some exams are probably going to be cut from being offered as courses. Quite simply, not enough people take them. Leadership proposals has already been removed; it’s going to become an Alacrity document. PHP and ASP are the least two taken exams, and may have their information left up for reference. Now, a few other exams have a small number of people taking them: consider them to be kind of a warning status. But, even a few of those have been taken since I did the course count, which tells me there is interest. With the PHP and ASP courses, if enough people continue to express interest in the course (that is, take them), they’ll stay as courses. But, don’t take the courses just to keep them up there. Frivolous taking of courses will result in temporary banishment from the SA.

SA Runons

In the near future, I will be running (with the help of a few others) SA based run-ons. They’ll start once Dranik gets Fictional Reality posted. I will ask for people to sign up, and then you’ll be assigned to a team of 5-10 people. Each run-on will be its own competition. This will be a great activity for you, you could win an award, and you can get practice so that you can help your clans with Great Jedi War run-ons, and so on from there.

So, be on the look out for news postings and e-mails from your clan leaders about sign ups. Don’t try to sign up right now.

ID Line Shake Up

As we’ve updated the SA to reflect the changes in the Brotherhood, one thing that has been left out is the SA part of the ID line. Now, the actual SA parts of the ID line hearken back to the old days, back when all the ID line said was SA: CORE, indicating that you have completed the introductory material to the Brotherhood (back then it was very different). But, as courses have been added, various abbreviations have been added for each new course. Those abbreviations are what need to be updated (since I can’t, nor has it every officially been decided, to remove the SA stuff from the ID lines). So, as a general warning, you’re full ID lines will be changing a bit. If you don’t use the SA stuff in your ID line for Brotherhood correspondence, then you need not worry. But, if you do, you should update it once I’m done.

Magistrate position

I’ve mentioned this before, but this will be the last time. There is an open magistrate job in the SA. The main job is updating the wiki for the SA. Those interested should e-mail myself and Dranik with a FULL application. Understand, this job is not permanent, but it has the potential to lead to a longer term job. The final cut off date is Wednesday; there are already two interested parties.

Real life notes

I have 8 days of classes and then finals coming up. I have a few small papers and projects to finish, most of which I’m mostly done with. But, they still get top priority, so if my responses are delayed, that’s why. I’m trying to get as much of the work done by Wednesday, or at least all the smaller things. Also, through December, I will be working part time, but as I work in a grocery store, things get very hectic that week before Christmas. Christmas Eve day is really busy, and I’ll probably pull at least a ten hour shift, if not longer (and still go to Church that night). But, that’s a few weeks away.

Summary

•Fictional Reality almost done

•Competitions coming up

•ID lines getting reworked a bit
