** Rite of Supremecy Vendetta and your Accountibilty **

During every Vendetta I have either taken a part of or watched from afar, we will always see rather dumb behavior from complaints to trash talking in open channels. This time however lets stray away from this and just let the fun gaming prevail. I will let people know now, that behavior that is against the rules will only give you a break from any further tirades or issues. When I say that, I mean you have the chance to be booted out for the hour, day, or week. This will also depend on what the issue was, can it be corrected with a discussion or has it been on going. Im not planning to babysit people, but if your removed from the channel, dont pm me and bitch further. Bans will be my last resort, and at that time, I will discuss with your House summit what the next step will be if an agreement cannot be meet then I will leave it to my superiors and myself to get something arranged. If we go beyond the normal issues into being removed, you will be dealing with Grand Master, Depty Grand Master or the Council of Justice. Lets not let it get that way. Relax and have fun, from the sounds of this Vendetta it will be very interesting. I will not tolerate at any time racial slurs, degrotary terms, or just being annoyance. If your asked to knock it off...take the suggestion quickly to heart. If you have been banned from the channel, your gaming is done until that has been lifted, so dont act childish since I dont enjoy banning people. Provoking it makes you look dumb.

** Complaints **

It been brought to my attention by several people within the last few months, that we are seeing a trend of Match Dodging. Now while this is punishible by Council of Justice. I normally try to keep the initial matters internal and deal with them myself. People have asked what is match dodging? Im not going into basics since people will try and analyze it for the next few months. And really this is in the Rites of Combat go read them over. When you agree to play someone, and another asks for the same game..if they ask you and you decline that is match dodging. While I will never tell someone that they need to game 24/7 that is the only part...Ignoring that person is still match dodging. If you have real life stuff that needs to be attended to, what is the first thing most people do? Leave mIRC, or leave the gaming channel, so explain to the person that you have stuff that needs to be taken care of, and try to come to a comprimise rather than just ignore the fact someone wants to play you. But a simple acknowledgement is the key to the solution. Now even if you know there is no chance in hell that you will win, and you ignore it or say no...that is match dodging. That would also be the best time, to maybe ask that person while your playing them for some pointers, since thats what makes us better players. And really is one match that hard to play, suck up the pride factor and just play. This is also goes both ways, not everyone in this club wants to help others out, which is truly sad affairs. Since those that want help, and dont get it are the ones that just lose interest in gaming and go elsewhere and we cannot afford to lose people over a person greed.

Other complaints I have had are the ones that I will say should actually go to Kir, these are how people in the channel treat one and other. I mean people most of us like to consider ourselves adults and while you may or may not be, we all have people in this club that we dont like. Now going and berating someone in the open channel, will usually lead me to just ban you and end the issue. I cannot all the time be a babysitter or diplomat but I dont like sticking my nose where it doesnt belong either so keep your petty drama to either your clan channels or private messages. People know in this club who you get along with or dont, but dont confuse the fact that I will stick up for you or baby you along its about growing up if it becomes an issue and disruptive I will handle it in any fashion I see fit at the time. Either solve your issues in a private message, or just bit your damn lip which ever you decide is up to you. Dealing with me when I have either had enough of the disruptive behavior or pushing me into a corner where I ban someone is not going to help you solve your mental screwibles. Nor does it provide a fun atmosphere but in any case, remember that this is a club with many different races, nationalities, creeds, and genders while not anyone of you is perfect by any means dont post dribble that isnt needed and we can all just get along. Crude comments doesnt get you anywhere, and while some maybe be comical on a small aspect, its not needed of wanted in the gaming channel So if you want to act a fool in DBGaming, expect to see yourself going out the door just as quick. We are in that channel for one reason, to have fun gaming with each other, and not picking fights...but as a wise man once told me, If you fight back or start a fight on the net, win or lose your still both very retarded. So fighting back just makes you 1. Look stupid, and 2. Just as guilty as the one that started it. We even have people that get their laughs on baiting people into blow ups. Seriously people, I will not be tollerating it any further. May I introduce you to my little friend the BAN O`HAMMER-O-MATIC.

** Magistrate to the Fist **

With the Vendetta fast approaching, and knowing what is coming up soon. I have decided to open only one to two positions for this job. What am I looking for? Im looking for a person that has uber activity in the gaming area of the club. Im wanting someone that can hang with the big boys and its not about wins or losses, Im talking about large amount of matches. If you meet the below requirements and consider yourself active feel free to apply. Now before I give the requirements, I want to make a note that Im not all about nicely done resumes, just getting the point across is all I look for. I do not have the final say in if youre chosen for this position, that would be the Grand Masters say. I reserve the right to can your hind end if you BS anything on the application, or just fail to do the job in a timily fashion.

Requirements

Rank: Jedi Hunter or above No person with current leadership responsibilties will be allowed on my staff. Must be active daily in both gaming and/or mIRC Must NOT be on any super secret probation with the Grand Master or Dark Council Must work well with others Must have a cservice username Must have the metal capacity to work with restarting servers, or communicate issues with the servers that are beyond your apptitude to the adminstrators. Must be willing to take a project, work on it without guidence, dealing with constructive critisim and getting the job done without me hovering over you. (Slackers will be killed then fired) Have a working knowledge of how x commands work, for mIRC issues in DBGaming

Ok, above the requirements are done, now what else am I looking for? As you have seen in this report or any other report I have put out so far, what my plans are. So thinking outside the box I want to see a list of nothing less than 5 ideas and a 30-60-90 day plan regarding with what I have going on, what would be new to use, and incorprate your ideas into this list. This is a chance to impress me. Also within your application I want to know the strengths and weaknesss for the above requirements, dont BS me that would be sure fire way to get the application ignored. This position isnt about flashy applications...this application is about you and your skill set you bring to the table. Your activity in the Brotherhood will weigh heavily on my final decision, not a flashy or well written application. List all the games you play currently. What Im considering this position for will be in a lot of areas in gaming from handling servers, running events, awarding the correct medals for your event, keeping a good communication with the outside clubs for those gaming days, and assisting in every detail of Trainning days.

** Changes to Gaming for our Club, effective October 1.st **

Change 1: Pendant`s of Blood

We will now only be awarding this monthly, yes one medal to one person based on the best win-loss record each month. I want this medal to remain a valued prize to those that win it. Not go down the lines of devaluing this by any means like the Clusters of Fire have gotten. I will not be adding in these to any competitions any further either. Im doing this in the hopes that different people with have a sustained activity throughout the whole month, not just week to week.

Change 2: Amount of Competitions for Gaming

I will be going to a two week period of gaming competitions, this in the end effects how many we will see. I enjoy reccing the massive amounts of gaming, but we see a trend usually twice a year where activity rises and falls off sharply. So having competitions that end with under 6 people taking part is just useless, and sometimes it also means a lack of promoting or whatever. So going to 2 weeks long for each competition will give the competitions enough time to gain atleast 6 people and get the word out. I do this both by posting the competitions on the main page, talk to people on mIRC, and even email the house google lists. Anything more that can be done by the people that actually play, or the house summits is only benifiting you the player and not me.

Change 3: Awarding of Crescents to a new level

My new leveling idea that I have instore will base the approapiate level of crescent for each competition based on activity, and not just who can rush out a few quick wins, and just idle. With any new competition being two weeks long I figured having this information out there will be the best decision. Ties on a competition will still be the same with both people getting the same crescent. Each competition will be uniquie from time to time with both Win-Loss and Most Matches being used still.

-> 5.th Level Crescent: 6-7 people played during the competition 4.th Level Crescent: 8-9 people played during the competition 3.rd Level Crescent: 10-18 people played during the competition 2.nd Level Crescent: 19-21 people played during the competition 1.st Level Crescent : Will only be reserved for month long competitions and will need to have atleast 22 people taking part overall. <-

Add 1: I.C.G.D or will be known as Inter-Club Gaming Day

I will be contacting the allied clubs and including the Emporers Hammer, and Imperial Doctrine to see if there is interest in having a single day of Club vs Club gaming. I will not be accepting DB vs DB matches on this day unless its for a competition. These also will not count towards the Gaming Awards at the end of the month. How we will be submitting is still to be decided, Im not sure if I will use the old ICTE webpage, or what yet. This will also give you another chance at Clusters of Fire, and the old All-Star title.

Add 2: Training Days

This will be a requirement for those wishing to enter Echelon 3 and 4, I will be getting some trainners involved that are good at what they do for each platform. For the degrees these require you to train for two Saturdays and must be a intensive format. While I understand that not everyone is good at any given game, those at this point that are at that level need to apply to me. I already know of a few people that would make awesome trainers for our club and I will be in contact with you shortly. Awards for the trainers will be Scroll`s of Foundation. Awarding of Clusters of Fire will be done, however at this point Im not sure where I want to take this too. So starting in November we will have the first two Training Days on November 13.th and November 20.th. This will run for the entire day, and I want to make sure the trainners have enough time to devote to each person so when we get closer, Again not sure if I want to start with sign-ups for each platform so I know we will have people around for that day or what yet.

** Stuff in Progress **

1.November Competitions: 75% finished 2.December Competitions: 5% finished 3.I.C.G.D (Inter-Club Gaming Days): 50% finished 4.Trainning Days: 50% finished

-> ** Whats coming in November ** Trainning Days Inter Club Gaming Days 9 Competitions 1 Gaming Trivia 3 Double Clusters of Fire Days <-

** Future Gaming for the Dark Jedi Brotherhood **

This is a point made to the Houses to see what is planned, and if they have ideas its a good thing to get them into me. Otherwise if you wait, they get DENIED.

November

Right now I have 8 of 9 competitions finished, so that leaves 1 spot for Console. 3 events will be Double Clusters of Fire on a single day each time. PC Platforms used: Jedi Academy, Jedi Outcast, Republic Commando, and Battle Front series Note: Since Empire at War is not seeing enough action, I will only use it for Gaming Nights until I see the interest in this pick back up so make November a way to get a competition back for this Real Time Strategy platform Console events: While Xbox seems to be the top pick. Im largely undecided on what to run. Any ideas?

December

Right now Im planning up to 12 competitions (1 goes all month) 3 events will be Double Clusters of Fire on a single day each time. PC Platforms used: Jedi Academy, Jedi Outcast, Republic Commando, and Battle Front series Note: Empire at War will be based on what I see in November, I may only use it for Gaming Nights until I see the interest in this pick back up Console events: Im open on what to run. Any ideas?

FAQ for the Royal Guard

1.How to gain access to the Society? _ Simply by taking the Shadow Academy Exam, called Grand Masters Royal Guard History. You must pass with an 85% or higher to be allowed in the Guard_ 2.How do I level? _ Since this is based on activity only, you need to play your heart out and earn some Clusters of Fire_ 3.Do my past Clusters of Fire count towards the levels? _ No, there is no retroactive ranking involved with this system, from the moment you gain access to the Society forward is when the total starts._ 4.Dark Maven and Dark Savant Degrees? _ These degrees are for your benifit, and will only be awarded if the criteria has been met. After talking to Taig and Muz we came up with a plan that would ensure that both areas in the club benifited from this Society, so having a extra feature of the higher echelons being more special in regards to how you get them. This is why you need to have the Degrees to even get beyond that level._ 5.Why 85%? _ With all Shadow Academy Degrees the standard that was set up for them was 85%, and since the coding needed to be set the right way, you need atleast an 85% to pass the exam and pass the degree or degrees_ 6.When do I level up each month? _ I will be pushing the doomsday button on the 1.st of each month to level each person, this will go for all months including the Vendetta times. So get active, get gaming, and be productive and earn your just award._ 7.Am I such a hard azzd grader? _ Actually Im not that harsh as I should be on grading this exam, I realized long ago that we take the exams to have some fun, we dont take them cause we have to, but want to. I cannot however just pass you cause you entered some dribble, you do need to earn that 85% and will be awarded for such. Failure to read the course notes and just rush through it will only lead you to retaking the exam. To this date Ive only had to fail one person, and thats it._ 8.I was in the GMRG when it was released, why am I no longer a part of the GMRG now? _ This was a coding issue we had to fix, to make sure it went hand in hand with the Shadow Academy degrees. While I understand that most did pass the initial exam, it had to be done this way and no matter how hard you complain now its not changing the fact of what has been decided by not only myself but two others._ 9.Do I ever get kicked out of the Royal Guard? _ Once your in, your in. However you can lose a rank in certain areas._ 10.Can I rank up more than once? _ You may only rank up once a month that was the plan that Muz had set up from the start, this society isnt about getting to the top ranks the quickest, its about sustained activity along the way to the top._ 11.Echelons safe points to not lose a rank? _Yes at Echelon Levels 1, 4, 7 and 10 those are your safe points of not dropping down into the lower Echelons._

** Side notes **

For most of the club that is really new, if anyone has questions or concerns regarding games in this club, feel free to approach me and ask away. I dont do the whole IC fictional nonsense, and over the years I have been the same way each time. Ive leaded Houses and Battleteams, and devoted my time for the better of this club for over 5yrs. Now while I may be the Fist to the Brotherhood, and I handle all the gaming, I have never had an issue with helping newer leaders out with other areas. Im not that strong with writing, nor will I caim to be. Simply ask away and I can try my best to answer the questions for you, or give you a link or two to help out. Im not known as Fist thats just the awesomesauce title I have, feel free to call me Ma`ar, or Smoke. I just have seen where its easier to get to know people and interact people when its not so uptight around here. While at times, I may not be around or busy, I do make a point to get ahold of you and try to answer what you have asked.

** Next Report? **

Expect to see my final September report out October 1.st, and I will not have another out till the end of October sometime.

Enjoy the rest of the month gaming wise, and the competitions that are left to take part in, and I will see you all back again in November after the conclusion of the Vendetta.
