khjwrqhsaeioyhoiwghl,ksahkl;ashfkahwfrLKHYHkHLLjlkLHJOIHO. So much work, so much stress, so much wanting to get the hell out of the DB ASAP. Hey, guess what the major news in this report will be?

First on the docket, Vodo is back from his LOA. Contrary to my plans/hopes, our Proconsul did not suffer a gruesome yet amusing death during his trip. Alas, you can't win 'em all.

Secondly, Paladin is crazy and has scheduled a new Rite of Supremacy to take place in January. As I stated, he is crazy. For those of you young'uns that don't know what a Rite of Supremacy entails, think of it as a miniature version of a Great Jedi War, only just as badly organized, timed, placed, and judged. It's kind of like a headache that builds up to the migraine that is the GJW.

My illustrious Aedile, Baron von Wunderbar (WUNDERBAR!!!), has sent out an e-mail to the House requesting that you update him and I with your recent activity; since both him and I have lives outside of the DB (gasp I no rly???), events often take place which don't allow us to precisely track your every move.

Last but definitely not least, the bombshell: I'm leaving the DB very, very soon. Full details in the Closing Thoughts section of the report.

Promotions:

• Acolyte Xiarr Drakar has been promoted to Protector! Keep up the good work, buddy.

Awards:

• KAP Alexander Anderson received a Sapphire Crescent.

• GRD Noctis Lucis Caelum also received a Sapphire Crescent.

• PRT Xiarr Drakar was awarded both an Amethyst Crescent and a Topaz Crescent. Double-whammy.

• NOV Imi Semly was awarded an Emerald Crescent.

House Dinaari

• Domius Sicarius - It's back. Every month the summit of Dinaari will choose one member of the House to lead their personal bodyguard - this member will be selected based on their contributions to the House in terms of activity based on an objective standard to be determined by Dinaari's Quaestor and Aedile.

Not a lot at this time for Dinaari, but some are in the works. Reaaallly!

Clan Taldryan

• Hunt the Jedi - Once a week the Clan will be given 3 hints as to the identity of a Dark Brotherhood member. They are to use the resources available to them on the DB site to track this person down. The first 3 people to guess correctly each earn a Crescent Details: http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/CompetitionDetails.asp?ID=4384

REMEBER TO CC THE HOUSE SUMMIT ON ALL OF YOUR COMPETITION SUBMISSIONS!

I'm tired. More specifically, I'm tired of the DB. I've been in this club for just over 6 years, and part of the online Star Wars community for almost 9. I've seen and experienced all the joyous things this club has to offer, and most of those people I've experienced it with are pretty much gone, too. In addition, in my eyes, everything has become way too saturated. On top of that, I've never been one that wanted a leadership position, I just wanted to make sure things worked, and events moved along; I've more than accomplished that in my near 2 years as Aedile. Right now ithe DB has become a chore I don't need, or want, or particularly care for. I'm not particularly having fun, and I want out. To be honest, the earliest date I've set for my departure is August 14th, as I've got just a few more things to clean up before I pack up and ship out. I'll release more info about this when I can.
