Wow. Been quite awhile since I've done one of these. Since I haven't been getting tons of e-mails asking for them, I'll

assume that my reports haven't been missed. I'd cry and all, but I already watched One Tree Hill this week, so dramatime is

over. I'll toss in a section to semi-introduce myself to people that don't know me, or don't care to know me. Don't worry,

as it will be just about as short as my...temper.

Hi. I'm Malidir Trepidus Erinos (yes, the banner has my name wrong). I've been in Galeres/Arcona for over two years

straight (yes, I DO look down on miserable Clan-hoppers) and I've been Rollmaster once or twice before, Soulfire Sergeant

once or twice, and Quaestor once. My A/S/L is 16/female/China, but I speak really good Engrish and have a deep voice for a

woman. I like to walk on our salty, coal-polluted beaches and fully support our lead-laden toys that we like to send to

other countries. I like to play games. Usually with your minds, but occasionally I'll do the multiplayer thing too, though

I'm trying to quit. Stuff is like the "pepsi" that I snorted a rail of last night. Anyway, Lord Rho and Master Sashar saw

fit to give me another shot at this job, so I'll do my best not to disappoint (too much). This extravagant report will

document the activity in our Noble House for the past week or so. Basically since I got the job. Hold onto your ankles,

bear down and enjoy it. Gods, this strap-on is massive.

ahem

Pack it up, pack it in, let me begin. I have all this canned

stuff from my last report that I could reuse, but I'm just going to freebase *freeball it and see what happens. I already

said who I was, so let's talk about what I represent, and what this report means to me. Love. Me love you all long time.

Each you $15. Me so ho&ny. I'm not going to show you that I can suck a golf ball through a garden hose OR get myself off

with a mirror for your enjoyment, but what I will do is talk a bit about our House, Clan, Brotherhood and maybe even a few

RL current events. We don't have many over here in China, but I will try to "manufacture" a few, since that's what we do

best. Oh, we have a huge army too. Seriously.

Ok, first off, congratulations to Fajhal on making Novice. The first of hopefully many promotions for this cat. Great

stuff, keep it coming. Also, welcome to Gavyn Knight, and welcome back to Riv "The Rageaholic" Monn! Enjoy yourselves,

because I'm sure I'll enjoy you both at your expense if you don't.

Vote Hillary for president, all you guys in the US. Monica Lewinsky's ex-boyfriend did so much to bring money to my fine

country of China, so I'm quite sure her ex-boyfriend's wife can do even more. Yeah, she's not very easy on the eyes, and

she's a carpetbagger, but who cares? Walmart should be buying MORE from us, and only Hillary can make that happen. And only

YOU can help make that happen. So get out and vote. Me and the other 27 people that live in my home will thank you for it.

<p> Kaek's the new Master At Arms. He'll probably be the best we've had since Xu Long, so that's a pretty neato development. He

wrote a rather long report, which wasn't bad to read, so check it out. Something about a big AWOL check, but if you guys

are reading this, it probably won't apply to you. Also, the Wiki needs help. I could have told you that, but now it's

official. We might not be able to reuse Final Fantasy images on our Wiki articles, but I'm sure we'll buck up and get

through it. Halo images will probably start replacing them any day now.

Just to let you all know, if you feel the need to protest anything that I say in this report, take it up with Rho, Zandro,

Sashar or Mejas. You can always contact me as well, but I can't really say how effective that will be. I say what I think,

and I stand behind all my statements. That's not to say that I'm always right, but I've been pretty accurate over the

years. I would have predicted the fall of the Berlin Wall, but that happened before I was born. And, it was a long way from

China.

Check this link for competition

information. Just sift through it and find the stuff that's relevant to you and your area(s) of expertise. Also, check out

the Independence Games. Pretty

fun stuff, and a little something for everyone. Even you. Especially you.

Check out the polls on your admin page. The date of the next Great Jedi War, starting a new Clan (which we need like a

fresh hole in the head) and the introduction of an apparently popular BHG-style economy to the DB are up for grabs. We

don't get the chance to make choices like this in China, so step up and let your voice carry some weight.

Go out there and do those IG things. I know I already said it, but there are some pretty nifty events. Gaming, writing,

graphics, poetry, karaoke...can't go wrong with that line-up of action. Karaoke may not actually be an official event, but

feel free to send submissions my way.

Hmmm, guess I'll toss a little RL crap at you kiddies. I'm in the second round of playoffs in my pool league, which is

pretty cool since we don't have a whole lot of pocket billiards action in China. Next week I'm off, the week after that is

go time, and hopefully the following weekend is championships in the big city, Beijing (Baltimore). We'll see how that

goes, but I can only do my part. It's a team effort. Also, I started drinking again. I figured 8 hours without drinking

(7.5 of them spent sleeping) was sufficient to prove that I am NOT an alcoholic. I'm Malidir, and I approve this message.

<p>

This report brought to you by the ability to acknowlege one's own sex, or sexual preference. We may not all be active in

the bedroom arts, but I'd like to think that we all at least know what we want. Take me, for example. I'm a Mandy Moore

freak. I don't send her fan mail anymore, since her lawyers got onto me, but still. I prefer the younger Mandy, but that

just makes me sound like a Priest, and I'm a Prelate, so that doesn't fly. I'm also immensely pleased to be able to

announce that Megan Fox is now the hottest girl alive, according to some online poll. She's the only reason that I stayed

awake through the fake Transformers movie, so I can do nothing but agree. Kate Beckinsale and Elisha Cuthbert both made the

top ten, so I'm quite content.
