Greetings!

It has been long time since I released the last report. Now, it is the high time for another one, as there are several important things to announce.

II News

IDB News

The most important news seems to be the fact that the Independence Games are now finished. Some winners have already been announced, more yet to be announced. IGs-related awards shall be awarded as soon as possible.

Arcona and Naga Sadow have been reclanned. It is the result of the high level of high quality activity of its members.

Both the Grand Master and the Master-At-Arms are on leave. Korras shall be back in few days, while Muz shall return from the leave on the 14th of May.

IHouse News

Congrats to PRT Sam Rajax on winning both competitions from my office, which were run before the IGs.

IBattleteam Leader Office

After the IGs, the competitions from my office shall come around soon again. Just as the reminder, they are focused on building up your characters’ background story and are fairly easy opportunity to get some shinies and Prestige.

Also, it is possible that Caliburnus will gain an additional member to our ranks in several days.

IAwards

Our members have received some awards, which are truly worth mentioning, in recent time. Firstly, I would whole-heartedly congratulate Sith Battlemaster Vincent Brujah on being awarded the Seal of Loyalty. It is indeed an outstanding achievement and it was really well-deserved. Once again, congrats!

Congrats to Krath Priest Draco Maligo on receiving Cluster of Ice for his participation in Neutralization Run-On.

Finally, I have been awarded with Cluster of Ice for participation in Neutralization Run-On and Crescent with Ruby Star for winning the New Beginnings competition.

IV Key Issue

Today, the Key Issue is the reclanning of Arcona and Naga Sadow. These two former Houses have been reclanned just before the Independence Games. As you can see, our goal is hard to make it come true, but it is definitely achievable. However, it depends on us, the members of Battleteam Caliburnus and House Scholae Palatinae.

If we wish to regain the status of the House and the Clan respectively, we must be active. Really active. It means participation in competitions, taking SA courses, writing Wiki articles, taking part in ACC matches, showing out-of-competition activity, recruiting members and anything else that may be accounted for the DB activity.

Only thanks to our activity, we may regain the status of the House and the Clan. It is up to each of us, if we are active. I understand that the RL takes much of our time, but just couple of hours per week is enough to play some multiplayer matches or to submit one or two pieces of fiction.

With sadness, I must admit that it seems that it is me, who is the most active member of our Battleteam. With sadness, because my activity is not very high and definitely not as high as I would like it to be. I am planning to increase it soon, but well, I cannot stand for whole Battleteam in this matter. If you wish Caliburnus to become the House again, you must be active and show that we are ready for this to happen.

Remember that status of the House brings many benefits with it. It creates the environment for internal competitions between Battleteams and allows to compete with other Houses in shared competitions for the glory and titles. Thanks to this status, it is much easier to come up with plots for competitions and with the background story for the unit. Finally, the status of the House means more command positions opened for members, who wish to lead others and to use this opportunity to boost their promotion advancement.

However, the status of the House cannot be granted to a unit, the members of which are not active. Thus, our hope in this matter is lain in all of us and in each of us. Every single member of Caliburnus and of House Scholae Palatinae may contribute to the growth of the Battleteam and of the House. Only we can make the House regain the status of the Clan and the Battleteam regain the status of the House.

Definitely, I am up to this challenge. Are you?
