Well, the past week has been pretty busy. Sith Bloodfyre has stepped down from Consul of Tarentum, and Anshar Kahn has stepped, um, sideways into the position of Consul after a tenure as Headmaster of the Shadow Academy. Give a big welcome and Anshar, and a big sad-to-see-you-go to Sith! In related news, the position of Headmaster is currently up for filling, so don't be afraid to submit your name, especially if you're active and academically-minded.

In addition, there are many competitions to be partaking in. Telona has a Holiday Competition going on for the whole House, which would be great to just enter something in on your free time. Also, Anshar has a scavenger hunt competition going on, great for all buzzard-types, or people who like medals!

I'm so proud of you! Activity!

Alright, let's see what we have here...

Well, we've got some knew additions to the team! Welcome Frindsor, Kyp Quin-Vos, and Ziltopia to Praxeum! You guys are already fitting in just fine, with some activity no less!

Frindsor passed the Old Republic, IRC Basics, and Astronomy tests with flying colors!

Kyp passed the IRC Basics too!

Well done!

I should be getting a Praxeum-specific competition going soon, as well as hopefully as run-on to start establishing some real history for the Battle Team. I'll give you guys a heads-up when I do.

Well, not too much is going on with me. I passed some tests, got a promotion, and that's pretty much it for my DB life.

In real life, my job is picking up, which is good. GameStop pays pretty well, and I should be moving up from seasonal to part-time, which will be a welcome change of pace.

Other than my job, I'm usually either online here, or playing Oblivion or Mass Effect or other awesome 360 games. Ahh, the joys of being a post-high school teenager.

Well, that's it for this week. Stay active, get going on those competitions, and don't be afraid to throw a shout my way if you have any ideas.
