Banshee Brigade BTL Report (v. 4)
Reiden had just walked into his office and sat down in his chair when his commlink chirped.
Yes, Reiden here, he answered.
Hiya minion! the reply of Dante issued forth from the device.
To what do I owe this contact?
Minion!
Yes, Master?
Report minion. Mush! the Quaestor said with a chuckle.
Reiden couldnt help but smile, and began his report
CLAN/HOUSE NEWS
Not much going on really (in my opinion anyway). However, there are a few pieces of info that can be gleamed from Luciens very first Consul report.
1.) There is a House Feud on the horizon and it is to be a primer for the up-coming Great Jedi War (GJW).
Explanation: Now for those of you that dont know what a primer is: think of paint, like the kind you use on a house of walls inside a house lots of other things too. Before you can apply the first coat of paint, you usually sand the walls (especially if there was wallpaper there before) and then you apply the primer. The primer is the base for the color of the paint. I think you can apply multiple coats of primer, but either way, the primer is typically put on before the actual paint you will use in the end. The primer gets the wall, or whatever surface that youre painting, ready for the actual paint itself.
So if the House Feud will be a primer for the GJW that means it will help prepare the Clan for the GJW. See, even though it is a House feud, the GJW is fought on the Clan level. In having a House Feud, we will be working together, on the House level, as we fight the other Houses and try to come out on top; the other Houses will surely be trying to do the same thing. Now if you apply this to a Clan-level event, such as the GJW, the Houses will work together to bring the Clan out on top.
Our goal for the House Feud: to win and come out on top as First House.
2.) The GJW is still coming at us! Now I may not know much about this, since Im relatively new (and the only larger-scale thing Ive done was the 3-Clan Feud between CSP, CP, and Arcona), but I do know that it is fought on the Clan level and that if we are to win, we need to work together, not just as a House, but as a Clan. The House Feud will show us how to work together on the House level, so we just need to apply that to the Clan level and hope that the other Houses do the same. Clan Taldryan has been the undefeated winner of each GJW so far, I believe, and it sure as hell is time that we show them their true place kneeling at our feet!
Our goal: to overthrow Clan Taldryan as First Clan and claim the title for ourselves, the members of the Royal Clan of Scholae Palatinae.
3.) Issue 3 of the Royal Gazette is scheduled to be released in December. Articles are still needed! That means help would be appreciated =). Articles must be in-character, deal with some aspect within Scholae Palatinae, and must be respectful. Typical lengths are about half a page to a page and a half (0.5 1.5 pages).
3 b.) Slagar is working on a web design for the Royal Gazette. Being the Editor in Chief, Ive seen it, and I must say that I am both impressed and pleased with what he has shown me so far. Be on the lookout for it when Issue 3 is released!
I think thats about it. HOWEVER Dont take my word for it; ask around and see whats up!

Hm, I think Ill do something new this time around well, its new for me, but not so much for others. Im going to give something like a Closing Rant/Statement. It could be anything, so be prepared in the future!
My Closing Rant(s) and Comment(s):
Exams/Final Exams.
My take on these Final Exams anyway is simply this: they suck; I hate them and they suck. However, I cant change anything and I dont really care enough to try to change it. Now I find these to be rather pointless at times then again, I feel that way about a lot of things, so that doesnt help much. Whether you like them, dislike them, love them, or hate them thats up to you. Ive voiced my opinion on the matter and now Im done.
Other Closing Comment(s):
A "Mini-Tana"
Funny little piece of info that I thought Id share with you all. Koskian Psyko dTana, or Kosk as he is usually called by others, has dubbed me a mini-Tana. Please, dont ask me for any specifics, because I dont really have any for you! Besides, as I said, I thought that this was funny and wanted to share it with you guys.
Thats it for this report guys. Stay tuned for the next one!
