_With a wave of the Warrior's hand, the monnok moved across the Dejarik board. Vivackus leaned forward in his chair, frowning in concentration, considering his options, before sighing exasperatedly and falling back. "You win again, don't you?"

The faintest smile crept onto Kal's face. "Mere weeks ago, you wouldn't have realized it until much later."

The Dark Jedi Knight responded testily, "But in the end, the result is still the same."

Kal stood and turned to leave, "Perhaps next time. But I should let you go. Doubtless you have duties that need attending."_

Well, everyone, there are 17 days until the next GJW and we're pretty much running on all cylinders in preparation. Be sure to take advantage of all the work being done by the Captains.

Clan News:

Anyone JH and above who wishes to apply for the position of HSK AED, you've got until Monday (Feb. 15) to do it. Email a resume to me [[Log in to view e-mail addresses]], Braecen [[Log in to view e-mail addresses]], and Alaris [[Log in to view e-mail addresses]]. Positions are limited, so act fast!

As you probably know, the Shadow Academy is having problems, so until you hear otherwise, don't take any SA courses. Instead try competing in one of the numerous competitions we have running.

As you probably know, the Clan Runon is still continuing.

CP Trivia Nights: Our very own Proconsul Alaris announced CP Trivia Nights a little bit ago. Due to RL problems with the actual time, they will be now hosted at 3 PM EST (12 PM PST, 10 PM GST).

This is not strictly HSK news, but still worthy of note, in the DB wide Console Gaming competition, Clan Plagueis had two members to place, Cethgus won overall with an impressive 19-3 record and Vorn Kyrth came in third. Such a strong showing bodes well for the Clan in the coming Great Jedi War. It is also a reminder to all our Journeymen that you don't have to be well into the Equites to do well in DB-wide competitions.
