Quaestor Report

<bow>

Greetings Gladius!

As some of you know, I am KAP Apollo and I'm your new Queastor. I'll be taking over for the much loved DA Telona as she has recently stepped down and "retired". She'll be sticking around for the mean time to make sure you all don't take advantage of me. :P

For those of you who don't really know me, I'll give you a bit of a run down. I joined the Emperor's Hammer ( I knew, evil right?) Almost 11 years ago as a TIE Pilot in the TIE Corps. I continued in that aspect for several years, moving to a flight leader position, then squadron commander, then eventually wing commander over several squadrons. At this time, I decided to join the DB. I was sent to a very active house with some, let's say unique individuals. The house is House Gladius. Several well loved Tarentum members were my house-mates at the time, including Telona, Ciara Tearnan, Aari Nikkus, Sith Bloodfrye (though he went by a different name back then), and many many more. It was a fun time to be in the DB, to say the least. From there I worked my way up to TET of Wizards of the Black Arts phyle (or battle team as we call them now) then AED. Though after years of fun, something was bound to change, and it did.

When the Exodus happened, everything changed overnight. I made a decision that night I've wrestled with ever since then. That night I choose to stay with the EH, though I maintained a clone in the DJB for some time afterward. I thought, at the time, that I was needed there more than here. I had a lot of friends on both sides of the split, which ached me beyond belief because I wanted to be on both sides. But fear was the order of the day for the EH since then. Even though I climbed through the ranks to Fleet Admiral and joined the EH Command Staff and even was eventually promoted to Consul of Clan Alvaak in the EHDB, I still wanted something more. And as the job there became dull and boring, I stopped caring. Not too long after that I spoke to GM Sarin, whom I knew well from the EH, and he restored me profile here. That has been over a year ago now and I am so glad I made that choice.

I have missed a lot since I made that decision years ago, and if I knew then what I know now I wouldn't have made the same choice. But now I'm back with good friends surrounded by people that actually care. And let me tell you, that's few and far between in most cases. That's why I stress the most important thing in the DB is having fun. Cause if your not having fun, I'm not having fun. And that's just not cool.

Enough of that, on with the future. I have always had an open door policy and I plan to keep it. If you have any questions, or complaints, or anything else you need to discuss with me please feel free to email me. I will always accept ideas for comps or anything that will improve the house. Also, if there is a certain type of activity you'd like to see more of, just let me know and I'll see what we can do about that. Any comps you want to run is usually fine by me, but you must talk with me BEFORE you submit it to the MAA. That's a standard policy I just want to re-enforce.

I really believe this house has a very bright future, now all we have to do is keep it going in the right direction. I have started to keep tabs on all the members at this point in time and hopefully see where everyone is lacking and where they are improving. Once an AED is decided upon, they will be working with me closely to help keep the house running smoothly and keep everyone on track.

At this point, I'd really like everyone to respond to this email privately so I can speak with you all one on one. I really would like to get to know more about you. :)

Well that's it for me thus far, there is a house comp that I just started. I've explained it down below but it's easy and I expect several entries a week. :)

On to the news!

House News:


As stated above, DA Telona has stepped down as QUA and is taking a much needed, and very over due vacation. Please thank her for all her hard work for Gladius during her many many.. many... many.. years in the DB. She certainly deserves it. :)

And as also stated above, AED apps are being accepted. Send them to myself and the Clan Summit, and Telona for the time being. Applications will be accepted until position is filled. Good luck!

Clan News:


Possible upcoming Clan Comp. From what I hear it is going to be a big one with lots of different competitions spanning the different fields of interest, so keep a close eye out for this one.

Transfers:


None!

============================================

Usually in my past positions, I've ended with a quote of some type. It could be funny or serious, just as long as it's good. So I have an idea for you all.

Each week I want everyone in Gladius to submit a quote to me. Make sure its a full quote and also make sure you tell me who said it. Each week I will pick a winner to use at the closing of my QUA Report. At the end of the month, I will tally up who has sent me the most winning quotes, or if there is a tie, then the person who sent me the most quotes will receive a medal to add to their ID line. This will be ongoing and quite easy to continue to rack up awards. Let the races beguine.
