Introduction

Welcome to my second report, yay! I'd like to begin by welcoming KP Famosus Aspicio both back into the fold of House Plagueis and into his new job as Rollmaster! Fam held the job back in the Clan days and has shown significant levels of activity, enthusiasm, and competence since his return a few weeks ago. Monty and I expect great things from him. He'll be putting out a Rollmaster report with some information on the Master/Student Program once he's settled into the job.

In DJB news, our longtime Herald, Shikyo, has stepped down. Muz and Raken are currently mulling over applications. In related news, the new MAA Kalen Aquillarum has appointed DJM Howlader as his new Praetor. Congratulations, Howie!

Crusade

Raken announced that the final round of the Crusade will take place from Nov. 8 to Nov. 22. We've had several people step up and express an interest in joining our Special Forces team -- the nine people whose entries will determine our placement in the round (and possibly the whole Crusade! no pressure :P) -- and Monty and I are going to contact them and a few others in the next couple of weeks to finalize the roster.

For everyone who won't be on the Special Forces team, remember that your participation is still critical. If we end the round in a tie, General participation will pick the winner. So everyone should get psyched for this shot at Crusade domination.

Awards and Activity

First, congratulations to Guardian Ragnar Rothblood, who capped his recent activity binge by passing ACC Basics, thereby completing all of the requirements for his promotion! Prior to his promotion, Ragnar also earned his first Dark Cross for his consistent activity over the past few weeks. Well done, Ragnar. Keep it up. You'll be a Jedi Hunter in no time.

Our new RM, Fammypants, has also racked up an impressive number of SA exams in the past few weeks. He picked up Pundit degrees in Vendetta and Essentials, and two Mavens: Combat and Philosophy. Great work, Fam.

Finally, Monty has earned, like, 3,000 CFs. He's crazy about Diablo III.

New Website

Our new website lives at https://plagueis.darkjedibrotherhood.com/. Go check it out and register. We're working on some special projects that will be based out of that website, but those will not be finished until post-Crusade. Keep an eye out for future news.

Competitions

The Battle Report competition runs for one more week. Submit an entry -- it doesn't have to be long or exquisitely crafted to do very well and earn a crescent!

There are some fun DJB-wide competitions running right now, too:

Brimstone's Tattoo
Monthly Mobile Gaming: Turkey Blast Reloaded
Pazaak Party
Don't worry, she'll hold together...
The Heist
And for you GMRG fiends (I'm looking at you, Monty), GMRG Gorefest: October 2013

Conclusion

It's been a great month, guys. The next official report won't be out until after the Crusade ends, but you can expect plenty of information from the Summit before then.

My door is always open, so come talk to me on IRC or shoot me an email if you need anything at all or just want to chat.
