1) Just over 48 hours ago, I sent a message asking all the Consuls and Proconsuls to send me some basic information about themselves and what they wanted to do with their Clans. I did this in part to get to know them better and in part because there have been some complaints that some Clan Leaders take a long time to reply to mail (when they reply at all). So far, only the following people have replied.

In the order I received the mails:

KE Alex Consul of Naga Sadow
SBM E. Tarkin Proconsul of Arcona
DA Maverick Consul of Scholae Palatinae
GM Jac Cotelin Consul of Taldryan
OWL Tron Sadow Proconsul of Alvaak
KAP Ciara Tearnan Consul of Tarentum
SBM Proton Proconsul of Tarentum
OBM Sithspawn Proconsul of Taldryan
SBM Gord Darkonian Proconsul of Satal Keto
SBL Drako Consul of Satal Keto

I believe that 48 hours is more than enough time to answer mail. Unless you're on leave or there is a RL emergency, any Clan Leader should be able to at least take a few minutes to send a meaningful reply.

2) I also sent a mail to the Dark Council. This one was mostly to make sure that everything was fine and to know if anyone needed help or anything. Things are looking good there. As a side note, I've been informed that the main reason there hasn't been any Dark Voice in ages is because people don't seem to be motivated enough to send something in. The Dark Voice is mostly a product of the members' efforts. Without your stories, poems, riddles, jokes, graphics, JK levels, TIE (or XvT or XWA) missions it ceases to exist. We have the people to get it going again, we just need plenty of submissions! You need information on this? You want to submit something for the Dark Voice? Then you can contact me, KHP Mairin or HRLD Kaine.

3) Now that Astatine's Prelude to Andevia is in full swing, we're about to begin work on the next Great Jedi War. I'm tentatively setting it for the end of March. We should be able to do what needs to be done by then, but just in case something happens, I prefer to not set an exact date (and disappoint people if we happen to miss our deadline).

4) Jedi Knight II is supposed to be released in March (probably at the end of the month). This game should greatly help revitalize the Obelisk Order and attract new members to the Dark Brotherhood. I have some ideas about this but I would need a few people to help. I'm looking for people with experience with web design, graphic design, playing on the Internet Gaming Zone, etc. Just contact me and OHC Sharad and we'll be in business. You have about a week to apply. After this time, we'll proceed with the help we already have.
