Gladians:

This is just a reminder about the MAA's massive AWOL check. If you haven't responded to it by now, you still have until Monday the 25th to do so. Obviously if you weren't in the DJB when it started or if you prefer not to be active anymore, you don't have to do anything.

I would like to formally welcome a new Apprentice to our midst: APP Achiryte has just joined us from the Shadow Academy. Welcome, Achiryte!

[Closure]

Apollo is running a House run-on as a follow up to the GJW, which will begin on the 24th. More details will follow in the next day or two. I can tell you now that third level crescents are up for grabs, and since this is just for Gladius your odds of winning something are pretty darn good.

[Warrior Spirit]

Severon is running a Gladius-only competition called "Warrior Spirit". The competition is as follows:

"The Mandalorians have been important players in the Star Wars Universe for many years. Write a page on the history of the Mandalorian race and how you feel about them."

Fourth level crescents are up for grabs for winning submissions before 06/05/2009.

Please send entries for this competition to these addresses:

[Effects of the GJW]

Severon is running a Clan-wide competition called "Effects of the GJW". The competition is as follows:

"You can either write a page fiction on how your character is dealing with the effects of the war or create a drawing of the effects the war has had on your character. Submissions will be judged separately on creativity and effort."

Third level crescents are up for grabs for winning submissions before 05/30/2009.

[Journeyman Requirements]

Journeymen, please review the Promotion Requirements to get a clear picture of what you need to work on for your next rank. If you need a copy of your activity record to figure out where you stand, just ask!

http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/wiki/index.php?title=Promotion_Requirements

If you are a Journeyman and you have "run a competition with the help of your House Summit" as one of the requirements for your next promotion, now is your chance! The GJW is over, which means we can once again run House competitions! Talk to Apollo and me about your competition ideas, and we'll help you go through the steps to schedule and run it.

Similarly, if you need to qualify in the ACC I'll take any challengers from Gladius. Just email me with the venue you'd like and the weapons you want to use. I'll get in touch with the Combat Master and get the battles set up. We can also do training matches which don't count and aren't judged, but will give me an opportunity to help you with your writing.

Need help with your next promotion? Your House Summit is here to help. Ask Dralin, Apollo or myself and we'll help you get everything figured out.

[djbDiplomacy]

I have set up a little unofficial web based game that I'm testing out. It's been running with a few folks from IRC for awhile now and I think I have all the major bugs worked out. It's based on the board game "Diplomacy" in which you play a European country and try to conquer territory. Don't let it distract you from the GJW, but it's a good way to have a little fun. Anybody with a DJB dossier number can play, and anybody can set up a game. Just round up five or six friends and start up a new game.

http://djbdiplomacy.divineright.org

Just so you know, this is a long term type of game. You will spend 10 or 15 minutes figuring out what orders to give your units each day, then wait for everyone else to do the same. If you have questions about how to play, there are basic instructions on the front page of the site with pictures. If you still have questions, shoot me an email and I'll help you out.
