Taldryan Aedile Report: You can be my Wingman Anytime

Greetings Folks,

It's Wednesday already. Tempus Fugit, as the old Roman would say, but obviously Wednesday means just one thing… Weekly Report Time! Obviously the big news of the day is the closing of the joint competition we had with CNS. I hope everyone had fun with the events that were provided, and that we can all take a second to thank the people who helped us with the grading, Sarin, Val and Solari in particular.

Headlines That You Need to Know

  • Shikyo has resigned as HRLD
  • TOR Space Flight Expansion News
  • New Social Media/Recruitment Tribune position open for Applications
  • Lots of DB Comps going on
  • Get to Know a Tally Nominations
  • Crusades: They're coming back. Get ready.

Space Bar, Bitches!

Shikyo's Gone

I'd like to give more of a flashy title for this bit of news, but Shikyo not being the Herald is basically rocked the DB world. Shikyo was one of the most solid, and everlasting members the Dark Council, and the DB has ever known. Dude's time on the DC spanned over a third of my career in the DB, and as I'm constantly reminded, that's a long ass time. Suffice it to say, Shikyo's absence will be keenly, and obviously missed within the Dark Brotherhood.

In reward for his frankly obscene term of service, the Grand Master has deemed it fitting to present Shikyo with the Diamond Sword, which in my opinion is perhaps the second most prestigious medal in all of the DB. Well-earned Shik, and I hope you enjoy your rest. Head on over to the news post and make sure you share your appreciation for everything Shik's done for us.

You Can Be My Wingman Any Time

So yea, some pretty awesome news broke out of the TOR Camp this week, especially for the people who remember with great fondness the glory and greatness that was the X-Wing and TIE Series of video games. Essentially, the Super Secret Space Project from the team at Bioware has finally come to fruition, in the form of what we all prayed for: free form flight simulation.

It doesn't sound like it'll be the standard XvT/XWA Multiplayer mould, but more geared to large Squadron sized engagements (12 v 12 pvp). I'm sure there will be some added elements to the game, seeing as it is an MMO, allowing for gearing up fighters, and picking different fighter types and what not, but essentially, this news is the closest to a follow up to X-Wing Alliance as I'll likely ever see, so I'm psyched. If you want to read more about it I posted a link to it up on the main site here.

New Tribune Position Being Created

A little while back, Raken brought to the Dark Summit the question about how we should be looking forward as a club, and one of the most immediate suggestions was that we should look at making use of social media to help out with recruiting for the Dark Brotherhood. We all know the age of social media and constant connectivity that we live in, and in an effort to move the Dark Brotherhood forward, Muz has seen fit to create a new Tribune position, whose purpose is to help wrangle the DB's social media presence.

You can read more details in his news post and if you're interested in applying for the position, make sure you put together an application and send it on to Muz and Raken.

Competitions, Competitions and More Competitions!

There's a bevy of DB Wide competitions available to the membership right now, a lot of which are dedicated to various forms of gaming. I'm not going to get into a lot of the details, but I'll provide you links and brief descriptions on em, so if you feel like getting your game or fiction on, head on over and check em out. Sadly, if you're like me and run a Blackberry, I don't think the Mobile Gaming competition is available, but for you apple and android users, check it out.

The Dark Crusades

A wise and awesome man once claimed that the fight was over for him after some uppity Alderaanian Princess had said the exact opposite. As anyone who's been in a long term relationship with a woman knows? It's best just to listen to her.

The Dark Crusades will be coming back to the DB in November. It's been a great time to recharge, and work on some other things, but we're not out of the woods yet folks. I want to see Taldryan lay down a new marker for awesomeness this time around, so rest up. Have a massage. Pound some protein shakes. Do whatever you do to relax and recharge, and get ready to just drop the hammer on the rest of the DB in November.

So Fucking Easy

On a closing note, I'm not going to be around much this weekend, as we Canadian folk celebrate Thanksgiving this weekend, so I'll be visiting the ancestral home of Yacko's people. Odds are, my parents will drive me nuts and I'll escape them into the comforting solace of the interwebs, but who knows. Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow Canucks regardless.

Oh so Sexy
