Welcome, welcome to the new, shiny report from your esteemed Proconsul. As you can plainly see, the report has finally got some graphics up on it, making it visually sexy and functional.

The one point I want to touch on this week is new membership and more specifically, mentorship. This club would go down the tubes very quickly if we did not recruit, train, and advance the future leaders of the DB. This job falls mostly to the Summits of the Houses and Clan as well as the Envoys, but I want to ensure everyone that they can actively participate in the training of new members simply by being available. If you see someone on IRC or on the Mailing list that has a question or concern, feel free to address it. If it is something that is major and needs the attention of the Summits/Envoys, please feel free to make sure that we have addressed the issue. We have a lot to deal with, and while that is not an excuse, things do fall through the cracks.

First and foremost, remember that this Clan is your Clan, it is not mine, Phoenix’s, or even Sarin’s. You make up the membership of the Clan and are directly responsible for the success or failure. That said; let’s get to the meat of the report.

Gaming nights are now being held every weeknight (Monday through Friday). This is a great opportunity to flex your gaming muscles and earn yourself some shineys (Clusters of Fire) in the process. All matches must be made in the IRC gaming channel: #dbgaming. Both opponents must be present in the IRC channel to compete.

So, dust off the CDs, grab up your joysticks/gamepads/mice and keyboards and go out there and show the other Clans that our dominance lies not only in writing, but in gaming as well!

The ICTE is short for Inter Club Training Event. This is an event held in the IRC channel #outerrim and is an event for DB users to be able to compete against some of our allies, such as the New Republic 5th Fleet in all DB supported games. Big awards can be garnered through this competition, held every Saturday. As with the Gaming Nights, both participants have to be in the IRC Channel for the match to be considered valid.

The Sunday Invitational Tournament is on hiatus until the new Gaming Tribune can work out the kinks. Be on the lookout for more updates from the T:G.

IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat and is the primary medium of real time contact within the Brotherhood. CSP’s official IRC channel is #scholae. Should you not know what IRC is or does, please check out the DB IRC Guide

Remember, we are all here for fun. Harassment, put downs, etc. will not be tolerated. You are to respect all other DB members and treat them as you wish to be treated. That said, the only people allowed to ban other members for a legitimate reason are the Summits of the Houses and Clan as well as senior trusted members of the Clan. If there is no one around when the offense takes place, please email the Summits and we will take care of it from there.

Ok, so this portion of my reports will chronicle a bit of my real life. Here, you can learn about Lucien, the person, rather than Lucien, the PCON Guy.

So, I have my first child on the way. My girlfriend/fiancée/domestic partner is 7 ½ months along with our baby girl, whose name will be Maya Lynn, or Darth Maylyn. We are expecting a fully healthy, bouncing baby on November 27th. Pictures will be forthcoming after the arrival. This is an exciting time for the both of us, as this was planned from the beginning. We cannot wait for the big day and busily buying baby crap including, but not limited to: bassinet, clothes, blankets, stroller, etc. So, I am now accepting PayPal donations to offset the cost. Just kidding folks, I do pretty well in my job as a Staff Preparer for a tax firm in San Francisco. They pretty much pay me to be your PCON as there is not all that much work to do, which frees up time for the DB. So, in an instance, I am getting paid a hefty sum for being a Star Wars nerd.

That concludes this report from the Proconsul of Scholae Palatinae.

As always, if you have any questions, concerns, rants, etc., do not hesitate to contact me at [Log in to view e-mail addresses] or on IRC (nick `Lucien)
