Good evening, everyone,

Sorry I haven't sent this sooner, but I've been having fun with the holidays, work, wife's birthday, and (combined with work), the wonderful winter weather. For the record, I live in the southern United States, where a cold winter typically means it might barely get below freezing- at night. So, when it is barely above zero during the day, and people are panicking because of a few snow flurries, and you work in a grocery store, there is much fun to be had. So, on to the news:

Competition Results

I hosted some competitions up until New Year's Eve. Congrats to Garloaf for taking first place in "Meanwhile and Elsewhere", while Dranik, Levathan, and Garloaf took 1st-3rd in the "It's Not Stealing if I Ask First" event.

Team Member Awards

Some members of the team have been busy:

1. Garloaf was promoted to Guardian
2. Darth Aeternus (Korras) went back to school and got his Dark Pundit- Essentials and Dark Pundit- Vendetta
3. Jason participated in the Monthly Mobile Gaming event: Hungry Santa

AWOL Check

Please log in to the DB site if you wish to remain on the active roster. Hades, Karel, Malfurion, and Ryson- you four are the only ones who have not logged in to the site in the past 30 days.

New Competitions To help with the AWOL check, and get you started back into some activity, here are a few short events for you to do. There is no team fiction this time around, as we will pick that up in February.

There are two events for the team members only:

1. Puzzling Wiki Puzzles: https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/competitions/7478
2. Laughing into the New Year: https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/competitions/7477

Finally, there is a fiction event being hosted by John "Dragoon" Witwalker for his DJK trials. So, help a brother out and participate: https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/competitions/7447

And that is all, for now. Oh, and I'm going to try and post this to the DB site and see how that works out.
