Trivia for Everyone!

http://darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/CompetitionDetails.asp?page=1&order=Unit&sort=desc&ID=3833

I will host standard SW/DB trivia in #db at random times in an effort to encourage more IRC usage and generally just increase the fun level online. The trivia sessions will always be at least 15 questions long, potentially more if I'm feeling frisky.

ACC Quick Skirmish Competition

http://darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/CompetitionDetails.asp?page=1&order=Unit&sort=desc&ID=4447

A month of seeing how many Quick Skirmishes people can run.

A Picture is Worth 1000 Words

http://darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/CompetitionDetails.asp?page=1&order=Unit&sort=desc&ID=4438

Or so they say, the competition is simple, there is a picture I have placed online, and you go to it and look at it and write a star wars story based on the picture you see. The catch is this; it has to be 1000 words, not 999, not 1001. Let’s see if the age old adage of a picture is worth a thousand words is true.

Brotherhood Puzzle Master

http://darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/CompetitionDetails.asp?page=1&order=Unit&sort=desc&ID=4385

This is going to be a series of 4 puzzles, each will have approximately 2 weeks time for people to attempt. The puzzles will test knowledge about the Brotherhood, Star Wars, and Star Wars related Media.

Random Trivia

http://darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/CompetitionDetails.asp?page=1&order=Unit&sort=desc&ID=3707

From time to time, the clan hosts impromptu trivia sessions in IRC

House Comps

Fist of Cestus

http://darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/CompetitionDetails.asp?page=1&order=Unit&sort=desc&ID=4223

Every month the most active journeyman within House Cestus will be awarded for his participation in Brotherhood activities.

Vault of Knowledge

http://darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/CompetitionDetails.asp?page=1&order=Unit&sort=desc&ID=4226

The Aedile in his gracious spirit has decided that he will be adding a trivia question to his report to the house that will be posted on the 4th Sunday of each month.

This trivia question can come from anywhere in the Star Wars universe and will be designed to test your knowledge and research abilities. You will have 1 month to answer these questions.

First person to successfully answer the question will be awarded a Legion of the Scholar.

Blank is to Blank

http://darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/CompetitionDetails.asp?page=1&order=Unit&sort=desc&ID=4479

For one month, your Quaestor will submit you to a weekly test regarding general Star Wars knowledge. In this case, however, think of this test as similar to those good old SATs; you will be working with analogies. One example would be as follows: "Han Solo is to the Millennium Falcon as Jango Fett is to __" Hopefully you would answer with "Jaster's Legacy" or "Slave I" - either answer would be acceptable.

Weekly points will be awarded based on the correct answer given as well as a first come, first serve basis. The person who answers the fastest with a correct analogy will receive 4 points; the second 3 points; and the third 2 points. Anyone who at least participates on time but does not get the correct answer (or is not one of the top three fastest submitters) will gain 1 point. Keep in mind: THERE WILL BE NO RETRIES.

Race for Fire

http://darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/CompetitionDetails.asp?page=1&order=Unit&sort=desc&ID=4404

While Cestus is a house of stories and necromancy, it is also a place for fighters and pilots. Over the course of one month, points will be tallied for the top three members who have received the most Clusters of Fire. These CoFs may be earned through gaming or through fighting Quick Skirmishes in the ACC.

Torture Chamber (Journeymen Only)

http://darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/CompetitionDetails.asp?page=1&order=Unit&sort=desc&ID=4480

Cestus Journeymen - your task is to write a poem describing your first interrogation assignment. It can be dramatic, gory, suspenseful, whatever you decide. However, the catch is that you may not use any verbs in the piece.

The poem must be a minimum of fifty words; there is no maximum. This task will challenge you on your response to a limited amount of resources, even if it means limiting language itself.

Destination of Debate

http://darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/CompetitionDetails.asp?page=1&order=Unit&sort=desc&ID=4481

Your task is to simulate a scenario of house discussions whether through script or story form. The scenario is as follows:

The Cestus house summit has proposed a sort of crusade - that the Cestus Complex, destroyed in 22 ABY, be re-excavated and rebuilt for the sake of the Cestian culture. In response, the members of Cestus have met in order to debate this somewhat controversial topic. You are one of the speakers; do you agree with the summit's proposal, or do you disagree? Why?

Submissions will be graded based on reasoning, foundation of argument, demonstration of leadership skills, and of course, the fictional quality of the piece. This competition is open for all members of Cestus.

Working Hands (Equites Only)

http://darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/CompetitionDetails.asp?page=1&order=Unit&sort=desc&ID=4482

Cestus Equites - your task is to create a non-player character to be used in Cestus fiction. The NPC can have any job so long as it is relevant to the house's needs. You are required to write the entry in DJBwiki format.

Submissions will be judged on character originality, quality of writing, and basic knowledge of wiki page composition.

That enough to keep you guys busy?
