_ News _

First off, this report is covering 3 weeks, 1 because there was a bug in the report system and I was unable to post the complete report, another week because I was busy, and the current week.

** First Week **

CNS is the first clan to get Clusters of Ice for a run-on, so congrats to everyone who got one so far!

I have been talking to a few members about the plans for updating the Night Hawks wiki history. If I do not get tied up with end of the year projects, I am looking to start on that this week.

I am also hoping to work on the plans for an inner-battleteam-promotion and awards/possesions system, similar to the Disciples of Ragnos and the system the Night Hawks had a few years ago. This is one project that I hope to have the entire Battleteams input on, so as soon as I can develop some of the ideas more fully, I will be sending it out to the Battleteam mailing list. I would like to hear what you all think about it and what you would like to see in it.

** Second Week**

It has been a pretty slow and quiet week. I recruited Sarconn and Ylith to help me with some the reintroduction of the awards/possessions system and a lot of work has been done with that so far, so look for more updates in future reports.

** Third Week **

Even more work has been done with the Night Hawks award/possession system thanks to a lot of late nights and we are almost ready to start releasing this in phases. Look at the near the end of the report for notes and more specific info on the revamp.

In DB news, Aabsdu stepped down from HM, Taigikori was chosen to replace him, and I am looking forward to what Taig brings us. The new Fist of the Brotherhood was announced, and both the Fist and the Voice have a bunch of great new ideas. Muz released a report yesterday; a new vendetta is in the works, which is another thing I am extremely excited for. I think it will work great with the new system for the Night Hawks.

Lots and lots of competitions for you all to participate in, with more on the way!!!

_ Night Hawks Revamp Project _

Here is how this is hopefully going to go down. There are a total of 10 ranks. You advance through the ranks by reaching a certain number of points. You earn points through your activity, which means you have to CC us with everything you do. This means every time you submit to a comp, letting me know if you are participating in a run-on, gaming, anything. I will know when you take an SA course, or if you receive a medal, but there are some things you all will need to CC me with. There will be four basic ranks, then four ranks where you can choose to specialize in a fictional role within the Battleteam. There will then be another two ranks for mastery in that role.

Another big part of this is the possessions system. At each new rank, new weapons, armor, and other cool stuff will unlock for you to have. Also, when you get to the tier of specialization, even more weapons will unlock that will relate to what you choose to specialize in; same with the mastery tier. However, that said, it will be based on a credit system, and yes, it will not be difficult getting credits to buy the cool things you want. This is how the credit system will work. Keep in mind, though, that the numbers are not set; however, this is what is looking the best. For each point you earn, you earn 5 credits. So, if you earn 50 points in a week, you earn 250 credits. Also, each rank gets a base stipend every two weeks, and each rank gets progressively more credits.

On top of this, there will be three positions. The first is the commander, or the current battleteam leader of the Night Hawks. The second will be a second in command chosen by the Battleteam leader, and a quartermaster of sorts that is in charge of keeping records the credits and possessions. The quartermaster will be through applications. There will be perks for being Quartermaster and Second in Command. At the current time, I am assigning Sarconn as my Second in Command solely because he is half of the brains behind the system and knows exactly how this will work so that we can put the revamp into action smoothly.

The last aspect to this project is that I am hoping to build a Night Hawks website that we can place all of this on instead of on our wiki page, as ultimately, that would be one LONG article. Who wants that? I am looking at opening a forums site to start out so that we can begin implementing the system before I can build an actual website.

However, as always, I would like to hear your opinions on what has been said so far. Like it, love it, hate it? Can something be changed or should something stay the same? The only way that this plan can go over without problem is if it is a team effort. Yes, I have gotten help from Sarconn and Ylith, but there are five more members that have been tight-lipped. I will be releasing more specific details hopefully by the end of this week, so look for that in your inboxes soon.

_ Real Lifes _

YaY!!! No more Highschool! I have only got 2 more days until I graduate, and those days are filled with fun stuff like going to water parks and no classrooms! I am especially excited about graduating because that means that now I have much more time to make the Night Hawks awesome!

_ Conclusion _

*Lots of activity and competitions *Look out for more specific plans for the Night Hawks Revamp Project *YAY for graduation.

Until next, ~DJK Ekeia Iclo
