Ninjas conducted covert operations designed to disable and knock out the Dark Brotherhood Website. Fortunately, Jac Cotelin, his trusty buffalo, and a band of Pirates to include the recently returned Code Monkeys foiled their plans. <p> Welcome back, sweet sweet DB website. We have 99 problems, but a Mysql injector ain't one.<p>

<p>News</p>

<p> Website: Our website was attacked by a web crawling evil virus that infiltrated our database via the forms found on many of our pages. Jac was able to obtain a safe back up of our website and safe guard it with protections. Everything appears to be in good working order. We appreciate everyone's patience and understanding during the website outage. Please be sure to thank the SCL staff when you see them.<p> Arcona Consul: Open for Applications: The position of Arcona Consul will remain open for applications until 3 September. if you are interested in applying, please do so in the next few days. <p> The Great Jedi War: In the following days we will begin to release information and promotional material for the 9th Great Jedi War. Raken has been hard at work on the plot, back story, and storyline for what the next Vendetta will be. I liked the last GJW a lot, but I love this one. Watch out this week for the Teaser Trailer!<p> Uneasy Alliances: The CSP, CP, Arcona Feud has come to an end. Congratulations to CSP on another Feud win. The scoring of this competition was surprisingly close and all three Clans can be proud of their performance. In honor of the event, I will be awarding the first place Clan a special prize in the next couple of days. Results are still pending on the individual scoring leader, so stay tuned.<p> Character Sheets: That whole Ninja attack on our database has put the Character sheets a little further behind schedule. Jac and crew are currently working on a revamped timeline and we look to see something here pretty soon. If you have any questions about the new character sheets, email me and I might be willing to provide you with the xls showing all the force powers.

Raken Quote of the Week:<p> Raken: anymore, we don't even know what a man is...a real man is in the forest right now cutting down a tree...he's not at a club on his iphone with manicured facial hair and butterfly doors on a '92 celica gt<p>

<p>Real Life</p>

-> <- <p> Allies and Friends II: Today, the Emperor's Hammer ended its ban on dual membership between our club and theirs. In the past if you were an active member of the DB you could not be an active member of the EH. Today, in a long overdue decision, GA Ronin ended that ban. <p> I saw a few people discussing this topic and one of our members was concerned that if they joined the EH, they might receive some sort of hateful response from the DB. This is not the case. We have never had a dual membership ban between the EH and the DB and to be honest, many of our members remained DB members over the past several years. We have no policy against this sort of dual membership and even went out of our way to protect the individuals who wished to have fun in both clubs. I am happy to see that the EH made this decision today, because it is long overdue. Internet/Star Wars Organizations should never place club policies in between the friendships of members. I won't ever do that and I am happy to see the EH had decided to stop doing it as well.<p> So, EH members, come on over. Aabsdu has an apprentice robe with your name on it. :p<p>

<p>Final Thoughts</p>

Real Life: I have some pretty damn good news. For those of you who don't know, my wife is pregnant again (my mid-tour leave was productive) and we just found out that she is having a boy. I am not going to lie, I am pretty freaking stoked.

In addition to the baby, their are rumors that I am going to be back in the US prior to the end of this year. At the moment, I am hoping this works out. I like being at home :p<p> -> Professional Development for my LT<p></p><p> </p> <- <p>Done!
