It was sunny, and at midday, Templar Berkana almost broke a sweat from beating rays of sunshine. He stood in front of a class of a dozen or so students fresh from the academy. They varied in rank from Novice up to Protector, but they were consistent in being able to fall on their backs. Despite teaching the gang exactly what to do, each would fail miserably, and Prajna would enforce the mistake with a new bruise.

He was about to give up for the day and turn them on each other, when the Aedile sensed the always lovely Robin Hawk approaching. She skipped up the steps to one of the platforms built on the Kas'im Citadel with a cheer PJ badly needed right now. "Hello Sir Prajna Sir. I was wondering how I can help?"

Dante: Well all props and drink bills rightfully go to the newest in the greatest assembly of Obelisk Templars ever assembled into one unit in the Brotherhood. In the week of "Dante's Inferno", he was also granted the noble privilege to join the small ranks that include our own Quaestor Thran as Dark Paladin of Palatinae. Since my last report, he was also given: a Pendant of Blood for first in last week's ICTE, a Legion of Scholar for first in Trivia, a Crescent with Amethyst Star for second in this week's ICTE, uncountable Clusters of Fire, and to top it off, 100% on the marksmanship exam from the SA.

Not to forget everyone else:

Robin Hawk: Crescent with Sapphire Star

Bal Comas and Zephyr: promoted from App to Novice

Daniel Stephens: IRC Op Course passed

lots of CFs. I'll only mention these if there is few and I can count high enough.

Sad news was this week as we lost Zeron and Esca to the mobs of the unknown, but we are very happy to welcome the dusty Sith Battlelord Talon Jade to our ranks. He has been around the block a few times, so I am looking forward to all of the knowledge he will be able to share and help the House grow.

Caliburnus Stomp: though it is also the latest dance craze on Caina for the tween girls, We are currently doing well in our feud verse the poorly named second House of CSP. Gaming is an obvious boom, but we are also very successful in the ACC, thanks in part to our hero of the week Dante, and of course yours truely who has gone undefeated in this part. However, I still need everyone to get the other competitions in. HDS was first in Reclamation for 3 and a half of the 4 week vendetta, but last minute participation dwindled and victory escaped our grasp. Here are the all important competitions everyone needs to get in before Leap Year Day.

Wanted! Dead or Alive!

Specifics: Given the recent escalation of violence between House Caliburnus and House Dorimad Sol, there have been bounties placed on several members’ heads. Your task will be to design a Wanted poster for one of these individuals. The member must be from the opposite House and must include the following:

An image of the member in question (can be their Wiki picture. If no image is available, there must be a detailed description of the member)

The amount of bounty on their head.

The reasoning for the bounty.

Who wants to be Boba Fett?

Specifics: The ground will run red with blood after this violent outbreak between Houses Caliburnus and Dorimad Sol. Your task is to write about collecting the bounty on one of the members singled out by the House Summits.

Was it easy to catch them? Were they sleeping? How did you manage to “collect” the bounty? Did you take them dead or alive?

Minimum 2 page fiction

Bounty List:

Tyno

Corin

Xathia

Brent "Archangel" Victae

Malaki

Fionn

Nokkon

Impetus Palpatine

Get out there and do them! Please?

God that was boring. See, I hate reports because so much of it is telling or retelling you the same info, but it isn't all bad because we all get to pet Dante's ego another time because he works so hard at not losing anything (second in ICTE this week? kids...)

Free medals to steal from HC: yep, Imp and Xathia want to further boost our medal count by hosting a contest: http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/competitions.asp?ID=3289

Those medals are bigger then what Lucien is giving out!

Also Timbal is hosting some Run-on training. It is somewhere on the message boards, so good luck with that. I haven't used them since the last GJW.

Impetus paid me with mouth-party favors to include mention of her vigilant efforts to help improve the DJB Wikipedia. http://www.freewebs.com/krathimpetus/Interactive%20Guide.swf

I will be emailing everyone with follow-ups soon concerning rank advancement, and how to best get your next one. If you stayed with it and are reading this, I have little doubt you will read the next more important email that comes out later today. PS. Everyone badger Robin Hawk to get her stuff done for JH. And badger Thran just because.

Cerean Wisdom for the cranially inclined...

When doing your best isn't enough, do it with style. Like the Foo Fighters say:

"Are you ready?

I'm finished making sense

Done pleading ignorance

That whole...defense"

"What if I say I'm not like the others?

What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays

You're the pretender

What if I say I will never surrender?"

We can tell when you’re faking, so do it better for someone else, like CSP domination.
