Report #11

Report #11 - February 23, 2011 <-

Not a ton of new information, but there are a few things to update everyone on. Also, a new Run-On will be starting in March that will have an effect on DB canon. Read on for more information on that, as well as the usual listings of competition winners and current competitions

I'll start off the report with a more formal announcement of my Praetor and Magistrate. While I did get a good number of applications, in the end only one person had the overall skill set that I was looking for. As such, I have chosen Timeros to be my newest Praetor. He brings a lot of experience with writing and the ACC to the table, as well as the ability to generate novel ideas while also questioning the ideas of others. Even I need to be pushed/challenged on occasion, and I believe he will be able to do that.

For the Magistrate job, it was decided that we go in a different direction. Due to the nature of the position it was the perfect chance to give someone newer to the club an opportunity to be on the staff of a Dark Councilor. As such, congratulate Diclonius on being my newest Magistrate.

Competition results! Below are all the results from the January competition, as well as the half-month competition run in February. All of the medals have either been awarded or are just waiting to be approved. As you will see, there were a lot of crescents that could have been taken by anyone. Remember, if you don't participate then you can't get those shiny medals.

As always, if anyone has any ideas for competitions, feel free to submit them. I'm only one person and would prefer to have a variety of competitions. I try to be as original as possible to see what people enjoy, but the more ideas the better. And if there are specific things you would like to see, feel free to poke me about those as well.

Below are the February Competitions...yay! There's about 5 days left to get your submissions in, so that should be plenty of time to whip something up. As you can see from last month's results, there is always a good chance of grabbing some crescents

Load the Can(n)ons #6 - Each month we will give you the opportunity of throwing it down with a character from the "real" Star Wars universe. Your job is to write the story of a battle between yourself and that character. The story would be considered "out of continuity" as the timelines just would not match. The idea if for your character as they currently are to face off against a canon character from a specific timeline. How that happens is completely up to you. This month's opponent is a character everyone should be familiar with (and want to kill)...Jar Jar Binks! I expect to see a lot of submissions for this since I know most of you have discussed ways to kill this character :P.

Will you be a Valentine? - The first Valentine-themed topic. This is a poem based around the idea of either convincing a light jedi (group or person) that emotions are superior or cursing them in some manner. For the Light Jedi out there, you can probably reverse roles and try to convince the dark jedi to change their ways

Bows & Arrows - Our second Valentine's theme. You have the power of the ultimate "match maker". Your job is to write a story based around the most unlikely matches you would attempt to make, based on this power (ie. Jar Jar and Watto as a couple :P)

For further details on all of these competitions please visit the links. There are high-level Crescents being given out, and the due date for each one is February 28th. Good luck!

I had mentioned in my opening that I would be running a new Run-On competition for March. While I won't divulge any specific information, I will tell you that the winners of this competition will be helping me in developing something that will be a part of current DB canon. What that is specifically will become clear once the competition starts, but know that this is a chance to help create something lasting for the club while also getting a few nice shiny objects along the way

I am beginning sign-ups for this competition now until March 4th. The Run-On will then begin that weekend and run for the rest of the month. Instead of one large Run-On, it will be split into individual teams. You are to sign-up as a team of 4-5 members. Each Run-On will be graded against one another. Only one member needs to send an e-mail listing your team, but please cc your other teammates. Members can be from any House, or all from one House. It is entirely up to you. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me

Just to re-iterate the news post that the Combat Master had put up earlier this week; Please remember that if you wish to have your Genesis Combine battle used for qualification purposes, please e-mail the CM and VOICE giving us the link to the battle and asking that it be graded. This way we ensure that your battle is graded.

In other ACC news, the 2v1 competition is still on-going. Hoping to actually complete a battle myself :P Also, Timeros has sent us a document for everyone to look over. It relates to a new policy that will most likely be implemented. More information on that once we have everything ironed out.

No "rant" for this report...not feeling any topic that I really want to sink my teeth into. Hopefully I'll be able to come up with something next week. There was also little news regarding Star Wars this week, although check out my last news post for some free Star Wars fiction. If anyone happens to come across SW-related items, let me know and I'd be more than happy to throw it up on the DB site if I think it'd be helpful to others. That's it from me this week. Until next time!
