Obelisk Sergeant Report

2006/12/04, 1:36 PM, Battleteam Leader - Battleteam Soulfire

"Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives."

ahem

--IT'S A SOULFIRE THING, no one else would really understand--

Greetings proud members of the best fraking Battle Team that the Dark Jedi Brotherhood has to offer. This is my first report,

and most definitely not my last as your Sergeant. All of you know me at least somewhat well, while a few of you have the

distinct honor (?) of having made my acquaintance when I was still ensconced in the varied subgroups of the Emperor's Hammer.

Anyway, I'll give you guys a bit of additional background on the interstellar bandit that is Malidir d'Tana.

--=BIO TIME=--

I first joined the Dark Brotherhood back in 2000 as Keiran Bastra. I was also active in another EH subgroup, but had to leave

for various RL reasons. I returned to the fold in late 2003 as the unknown quantity of Malidir, only to find a smaller club,

one which a number of my friends had fled due to the big split that you've all either lived through or heard about. I stuck it

out with the EH - mostly because they made the "rDB" sound so dirty and scandalous - until late last year, when I made up a new

identity (Trepidus) and joined the "rDB"...henceforth known to me as the "real" Dark Brotherhood. After being pretty active and

holding a few command positions in the EH over the years, all that came to an end when I was made the Command Attache to the

Flight Officer (kinda sorta like Praetor to the Master-At-Arms over here in DB land) and asked to carry out a large AWOL check

of the Reserves/Rogues. This was evidently the epitome of busy work, since when I produced a listing of bad e-mail addresses of

people that should be removed, I was told to just keep everyone there, regardless of my ability to even contact those members.

This made no sense to me, and to a number of other Command Staff/Dark Council members, so I ended up throwing my lot in with

the evil Imperial Dominion, thus earning myself the most distinguished award that the EH could offer at that time...expulsion

from the ranks.

Following that debacle, I morphed Trepidus back into Malidir, ended up becoming a member of the d'Tana family, and the rest, as

they say, is history. I'm quite happy and immensely grateful to have been selected to head up this elite group of Dark

Brotherhood members - one which not only has a great deal of talent and drive, but also includes many good friends and even

better people.

Enough about my smelly old EH self, and don't worry, I won't be invoking that club's name again in the future. Let's move on to

a bit about the current state of affairs in the Soulfire Strike Team...

Here's a quick peek at where we are right now as far as membership is concerned:

--=COMPETITIONS=--

Expect some Soulfire competitions to be unveiled this week, but please let me know about any ideas you might have along those

lines. There are many ways to be active in the Dark Brotherhood, as you've all already shown, but I'd love to see what everyone

thinks. For the time being, here are a few things that can be done, right now. Big thanks to our Quaestor, Selene d'Tana, for

putting this list together!

--=ACTIVITY=--

By now, I should be copied on just about everything that you guys do in the way of activity, but please copy me or blind copy

me on any submissions to comps that you send out. Not to worry, I'm not out to steal anything away from you, but I just want to

be sure that I know what you're doing so I can stay up to date on what your activity levels are.

Big congrats to Zandro "CC" Savric Erinos for winning last week's ICTE! Also, job well done to Rho, Karel and Sashar for

showing up and playing some games in this event. I've seen some other gaming activity in the last week as well, but we probably

won't see the awards for those efforts until we get a new Gaming Tribune, so stay tuned for that.

--=CLOSING ARGUMENTS=--

Yes, this report is far from outstanding, but I wanted to get something out to all just to say hi and to start the ball

rolling. There are many exciting things coming soon, including my learning Dreamweaver so I can make better reports, new

Soulfire competitions and hopefully the addition of new members to our group. I want to say that I feel like I have a pretty

good handle on each of your strengths and what you like to do, but when I slip up, don't be afraid to call me on it. Also, I'm

content to have a seven-person group, but I'd love to add to that number. Be warned, however, that we won't just take anyone. I

think of this Battle Team as a truly elite unit that can hold their own with most other HOUSES and maybe even CLANS in most

respects. That means that the most important factors in considering someone as Soulfire material is their activity level and

how much our current members like the person. A personal goal of mine is to have a large majority of our number doing very well

in upcoming vendetta-type events, those that involve the whole Dark Brotherhood.

One last thing, I want to give props to Kosk and Selene, who both headed up Soulfire immediately before me. Both did a great

job and helped shape things into what they now are. I've learned so much from both of these people, and also from many of you.

As such, I don't want to let anything slip through the cracks. Let's all help each other when we need it, offer congratulations

when appropriate, call each other on mistakes that are made and last but not at all least, have a great time. Huzzah.
