Greetings, Jade Serpents,

Although I don't have too much to report, I thought I should send out a message reminding you all about all the awesome competitions we have going on and the various ways you can get those all important promotions. After all, we all want to get to Knight, don't we?

NEWS AND COMPETITIONS

In terms of news, there's a tonne of different things going on, but perhaps most important is the Fractured Mirror Clan Artisan competition. If you've not had a look on the forums yet and seen the beginnings of the run-on, you should. It promises to be a lot of fun and somewhat different than the regular Dark Brotherhood activity - mostly because we'll all be trying to be nice, polite light side Jedi. There's other events too - gaming, fiction and even an event which mimics the Antei Combat Centre, which would be a nice easy way to get some practice in, for those of you who are intending to qualify at some point in the future.

If any of you are unsure about any aspect of these competitions, shoot me an email. If I don't know something, I know who will. Also, if anyone wants a fight for the Light vs. Dark event, just let me know. Feel free to try and show your new Sergeant up!

For those who have lost the link to the site - here it is:

Also, don't forget there are other DB-wide events out there too - the biggest one right now is the current Shadow Academy Journeymen Competition. For those of you who are writers, it's not that long and it's an easy way to earn something shiny and pretty for your dossier.

PROMOTIONS AND ACHIEVEMENTS

As far as promotions, or medals go, I've not heard anything from any of you - don't forget to email me at [Log in to view e-mail addresses] and let me know when you've done something that qualifies you for a promotion. If you don't tell someone about it, we won't know.

If you can't remember what you need to do to get a promotion, here's the link to the Wikipedia page to remind you: http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/wiki/index.php?title=Promotion_Requirements#Apprentice_to_Novice

For those of you who are faintly interested in my real life - I've got a bunch of exams at uni right now, so I've got to have early nights and so on. All this means is that I might not be on IRC that long, if at all. But I will always get emails and I'll always reply fairly quickly, so keep in touch.

Get stuck in, guys!

Until next time,

GRD Dyrra Skye

Sergeant of the Jade Serpents
