Brief

I'm back from my abrupt absence! I apologize, however, I lost internet connectivity for about a week and a half. I thank Rho d'Tana for running things in my stead. w00t.

I'm happy to announce our new Cabal Cronal award, submitted by Kor VanTil:

Award: "Scepter of the Unseen Eye " (SUE)

Description: Standing at a height of exactly six feet, the Scepter of the Unseen Eye symbolizes the essence of Cabal Cronal: power through knowledge. The scepter, like that of a king or lord, is crowned at the top with an expensive gem. This gem, a bright Stygium crystal often used in cloaking devices, has been carved with precision into the shape of a human eye. This eye is held in place by a gold claw whose talons wrap around the gem completely, giving the eye the appearance of watching through blinds at its prey. The gold claw then attaches to the sturdy yet light weight metal shaft which features special rubber grips at various places.

Awarded for: Outstanding achievement that typifies the very essence of what Cabal Cronal is all about. This achievement should involve the use of stealth, intelligence gathering, deception, and general overall activity. Only those who are the best of role models will ever receive this particular award.

Competitions

Operation: Vitriol - Run by Timeros and Strategos

Ok, so it isn't just one competition, it is a whole slew of them! These are key Clan Arcona competitions and I urge you all to participate as much as possible. We need to set Cabal Cronal up a force to be reckoned with! Go out and pwn, my Brethren! Check http://arcona.darkjedibrotherhood.com for more details.

This is a fun one. Simply download the image I have listed in the competition description and manipulate it in some way. Funniest submissions win.

This competition will build our Wiki and general BT information up and should be pretty neat. Basically, I'm calling on you guys to decide what the Cabal Cronal HQ looks like. Remember: We are an inconspicuous group nestled secretly within the Dajorran Intelligence Network.

In Closing

You may have noticed that our recruitment competition was not mentioned...it has sadly been delayed due to Operation: Vitriol and the FAST approaching Great Jedi War. Post GJW, the competitions will be in full swing. In the mean time, I'll try to ensure that we have 2 competitions running at all times. As always, send feedback on what you like, hate, would like to see, etc about the Cabal and I'll take everything into consideration!
