Odan-Urr Aedile Report #6

(You can find the Report at http://odanurr.wordpress.com/2013/09/10/house-odan-urr-aedile-report-6/ with the proper headers and images while I attempt to figure out the new markdown format.)

Introduction

Welcome to my sixth report as Aedile for House Odan-Urr (Has it really been that long?) In case you have been living under a rock (Or haven't read many of the latest reports from our wonderful Dark Council,) this week marks the end of yet another chapter of the Dark Crusades. With the conclusion of this chapter, the end is near for this event as it approaches the last leg of its journey, eventually coming to rest in Ziost and Korriban. As you may have noticed, things are taking a bit of a detour with a longer notice to which planets will be available, as well as a much-needed break until our journey ends. In order to have everyone prepped and properly rested, Raken has announced in his latest report that we will have a two month vacation for some rest and relaxation on the beautiful beaches of Corellian System. If you haven't read his report already, I highly suggest taking a look at the newly released participation numbers.

With the amount of hard work required during such events, such a prolonged flurry of events can be taxing, though it does provide great opportunities and rewards for those who use them to their full advantage. The positive attitude and growth I have seen in the House over the last few months have been substantial. During this time, we have welcomed such hard working individuals such as Putra and V'yr Vorsa while we strive to achieve the goals our House has had since Ji's term as Quaestor - To make House Odan-Urr a place for fun and entertainment, and we have succeeded in every way imaginable.

Also, with the huge influx of new, active members as well as character changes, V'yr had been kind enough to establish a House Odan-Urr Run-On. So, if you wish to introduce yourself to us, feel free to jump in here.

Character Sheets

Mav, as you know, has been hard at work with fleshing out the Character Sheets. I am still recieving countless emails of new character sheets created by you guys (As well as myself,) and have to say, i'm impressed. Our House is evolving so rapidly that our membership is becoming more diverse by the month, ranging from scruffy-looking scoundrels to former padawans and knights of the New Jedi Order and tree-like Neti. Because of the detail that is contained within these new Character Sheets, we are now able to write accurate portrayals of our friends and enemies, know each other's strengths and weaknesses. He has recently released yet another report here in which he goes into great detail about some of the new updates to the sheets themselves (Of which I highly reccommend reading.)

Arion has also announced that the old Character Sheets are now available as a limited time offer, you can find the link here, though he notes that the site will be unstable, at best. So, if you need to gather your old descriptions, head on over while you still can!

If you want to practice your writing skills using these sheets as a reference, feel free to join into the forum Run-On mentioned above.

Credits!

Muz has recently released details about a new addition to the site. With help by the coding staff, you can now view your credit history within your dossier admin page. This opens up opportunites to many of the features suggested in the past, and I like to speculate that this might actually shed some light on the posessions system, that has been in the works for longer than I can remember. Check it out! Also, if you see anything missing from your credit history, feel free to contact Howie about it (Howlader for all those who aren't familiar with the popular nicknames yet.)

Upcoming Events (Teasers!)

While we stand ready for the final chapter of the Crusades, myself and Liam Torun have something planned in the meantime. A hint of what's to come has already been said in this report. A competition for whoever can find the hidden message is located here.

This event will be a House-wide event, and will feature the Knights of Odan-Urr as they make a bold attempt to find some means to liberate New Tython from the dictatorship under Cy Thuron and his mysterious master. As mentioned, this will be a good time to brush up on your skills as we approach the last chapter of the Crusades, and will run through the months of October and November. Because this event will be hosted in-House, advice will be available upon request. If you are new to the Brotherhood and have questions about any such events, don't hesitate to ask.

Contributions

I can't stress how pleased I am with our recent Crusades participation. While we didn't win the battle at Jaguada, we still kicked considerable amounts of ass. I would like to personally thank Lyze Kiel, who is both the most amazing Battleteam Leader I have had the pleasure of working with, as well as one of our top performers in the Crusades. He is a friend and mentor to all, and I appreciate the scoundrel (Despite how scruffy-looking he may be.)

I would also like to take the time to thank Taigikori for his hard work as Justicar. I won't go into detail about this, as his dedication as both a former Headmaster and current position as Justicar speak volumes, but it was his determination that led to my discovery and joining of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood three years ago.

Finally, I would like to thank everyone who participated in the Crusades. Without you guys, the Light Side Path would still be considered an 'experiement,' and thanks to you, I believe we have succeeded in establishing ourselves as a prominent group with the Brotherhood for years to come. You all have paved the way for future generations who make the ultimate decision to follow the Light Side.

Star Wars News Tidbits

Star Wars easter egg in Star Trek scandal! You heard right. You can find the link here and here.

Star Wars: Force Collection is now available on Android and iOS devices. I can't say what it truly is before testing it (Which is likely to be soon,) but it appears to be a card game, of sorts. You can find more information on the Star Wars site.

No N! :P

But yeah, good report!

Howlander, there can be only none?

"This isn't the N you're looking for."

Removed.

Another great report A'lora, keep up the great work :)

Howie is a beloved creature of DB folklore. Of course people lose their minds ;)
