Well, this is my first report as Tetrarch. I actually haven't used this HTML business before, so we'll just have to play it by ear for the moment.

=== State Of The Phyle

The Xyler Edict is in effect. This means that you all have exactly one week to reply to the first message I sent on the eGroups a couple of days ago. If you don't reply to this message, or even this report, within one week of it's sending, you will be transferred out of Prophecy. It's that simple. If you're nowhere near a computer or on LoA, that's different and you're safe. If it's a case that you're nowhere near a computer during this week and you e-mail when you're back, that's acceptable. But if you're getting this and you've read the previous message I sent and STILL refuse to reply to me, then it's treated as a no-show. Ergo, you're out of Prophecy.

For those who don't know, my e-mail address is [Log in to view e-mail addresses] - send me an e-mail telling me you're alive and then you're safe. It's that simple.

=== Competitions

In Prophecy, I am running 'Song Of War'. The details are simple - send me a song that best represents you. In other words, what would be your walk-out theme? Anything at all, but give me some reason behind it. The same goes for the Prophecy song - give me some reasoning behind it. Check the competitions section for more information. Same goes for Vorion's "Dark Vision" competition.

=== Clan-wide Competitions / Great Jedi War

The Clan-wide comp, I have no information on. I've to try nail Vorion down and pummel him for information, the same goes for Taigikori and Legorii. When I know what the story is, you'll know.

You might have seen the information on the 9th Great Jedi War posted on the DJB site. Have a look, it'll give you an idea of what's in store, fiction-wise, and also should get you into the idea of what's going to be coming up.

=== Training / Gaming / Everything Else...

As I said in my first message, I am offering training in the ACC. I can do this on an e-mail basis, i.e. coach you through matches or you can challenge me in the Arcona Hall and we can go from there - whichever you prefer.

If you've an interest in gaming, I'd love to hear from you. I play XboxLive quite a bit; my Gamertag is iamthefishes. Feel free to add me and we'll have a go. I know there's Empire At War training on offer, so I'd advise people to try go in for that, as well. If there's a particular game you play and you want to see if it's open, please e-mail me and we'll have a chat.

I'm on IRC quite a bit, either in #arcona or #db. Again, feel free to have a chat, like everybody else in the Clan, my door is open to you for anything.

=== Video / Song Of The Week

I ran this feature before as something light-hearted and not DB/SW related for kicks. Got a suggestion? E-mail me at [Log in to view e-mail addresses]. Here's the one for this week:

=== Final Thoughts

I've got to be honest and say I'm not terribly happy with the state of Prophecy. I know it's only been a few days, but to be honest, I was hoping for a bit of life. Something. As I said, if you don't reply within one week of this, your ass is going back to Qel-Droma. I am considering applications for membership of Prophecy as well. Nobody, in my opinion, has earned the right to a dry seat in this team. As Patton said, "you're in it for the fighting, my friend."

For the 'hood,

Krath Archpriest Arcturus Xyler
