Entries for the Design a Bad guy competition are due this Monday, 7th. You can win a nice shiny Silver or Bronze Nova if your entry wins! Details are at http://www.imperialacademy.org/comps/badguy/

There have been around 20 competitions approved since around Christmas time. This is an improvement over the period of time it took for the first twenty (about 2 months). However, some clans are dropping in their competitions. Keep those competitions running and members active.

I don't think I can emphasis enough how important that an up-to-date and well-made webpage is for Clans and Houses. Often, this will be the first way prospective members will see what your House/Clan is made of. If your news page is out of date, or your clan/house seems to not be doing much or doesn't have prominent contact details (so they can ask questions), you really are doing yourself out of possible members. It also pisses me off. :P And that's a Bad Thing(tm).

I will be drafting and posting a very special declaration about the DB soon. Watch out for it.
