WELL HOLY SHIT SNACKS. Yea, it's not that dramatic, I'm just in a weird mood. Welcome to the latest and quite possibly (but unlikely) greatest report in the recent series of reports. There's been a flurry of activity within Taldryan of late, due mostly to the Crusades, but for right now, we're going to skip over all that, and deal with the awesome stuff.

As the final days of freedom before the Crusade took us, we wound down the last couple awesome competitions that were taking place in our time off. Personally I would like to thank everyone in Taldryan who created and ran a competition; they were pretty fun, and I want to especially thank our Quaestor Rian for running three competitions himself. Now, onto the results! Rian's Party Up Competition: Raistline Majere Retden Some Jerk

Retden's Awesome Flash Game Competition Talon Drear Raistline Majere Chaosrain Taldrya

The Combat Master's DB Wide Create an Aspect Competition Rathus Marr Halcyon Rokir Taldrya Some Jerk tied with someone not from Tal

No big merit medals to report this time around, just a bunch of competition medals, which included one Crescent with Diamond Star, which is one of the rarer medals you can earn in the DB, so I want to offer a big congrats to Rathus for earning that. His work on the Aspects for the upcoming Aspects was so good, that the Combat Master felt it necessary to personally email some of Rathus' amazing work to not only the Taldryan summit, but also the Grand Master. So well done Rathus, and well done everyone else for winning their medals!

Rathus Marr: Crescent with Diamond Star Halcyon Rokir Taldrya: Crescent with Ruby Star Raistline Majere: Crescent with Emerald & Topaz Stars Talon Drear: Crescent with Emerald Star Retden: Crescent with Topaz Star Chaosrain Taldrya: Crescent with Quartz Star

Finally for the announcement phase, we've seen four promotions in the last week, two of which have raised a couple of our journeymen to the rank of Jedi Hunter. A massive amount of congrats goes out to the following for their recent promotions. Rathus Marr has been promoted to Jedi Hunter Miranda Goto has been promoted to Jedi Hunter Catmatui has been promoted to Protector Serian Vera has been promoted to Acolyte

Hrm. I was going to go on talking about the Crusades a bit here, but I'll be emailing you guys with more than enough information on that, so beyond saying visit the forums for more information, hop on IRC, and to get posting in the run-on, I'm not going to get too much into it.

WHAT I WILL SAY IS.. you definitely need to go to the forums anyways, because as I said in my very first report, I'll be starting up a monthly report called "Get to Know a Tally", the first one was all about me, and the awesomeness that is Yacks, but the next one? The next one is going to be about whomever you guys pick. So head on over to the forums and lodge your nominations for the next featured Tally!

That's it for now folks.

Your cranky neighbourhood Aedile, Dark Jedi Master Keirdagh Taldrya Cantor
