Taldryan Quaestor Report

#3, September 6th 2010

Alright, so… We have got some good stuff to cover in this report, so stick with me as I delve into Taldryans inner goodness!

First and foremost, I think this is one of the most looked forward too for recent projects in the DJB. And that is the release of the new and improved Grand Masters Royal Guard. This is, free paraphrasing here: The Gaming Communities version of the ACC. By competing in games and by earning a certain amount of Clusters of Fire in a span of 1 month, you gain rank. There are 4 Echelons wit 3 levels in each Echelon, with each level requiring a certain amount of CFs to keep you at said stage.
This, from what I can tell already, is far beyond the past GMRG in the basic way it works as well as the fictional spin it has engraved into it. Fictionally, each Echelon with the GMRG brings you higher and the ability to guard various ranks of members within the DJB. If you get to the 3rd Echelon, there is the perk that you can guard a Praetor, or possibly even a Dark Councilor. This brings extreme ties into any upcoming DJB fiction. If a DC member is in a bind, won’t he have his own personal guardsmen at the ready?
Anyways, safe to say it is looking baller. Link to Smokes News Post on it: Here

Secondly, the upcoming Vendetta. That is right, Vendetta. Been some time since we had one of those without the title GJW or RoS, huh? Felt forever to a newb like me. =P Moving on, there has been minimal talk about this large-scale competition coming up. This needs to be fixed! ** Starting October 1st** (or unless stated otherwise)** a brand new version of Vendetta will be underway to the DB!** A bit dramatic, but I want to make sure no one misses this.
Taldryan has loved the call for War amongst itself and the other Clans of the Brotherhood; House Taldryan will continue this tradition. Over the two months since I have been Quaestor, I have already seen the spark of activity within Members of our great House, the fantastic hustle and bustle of competition submissions and award notifications spamming my inbox bringing both a sigh of relief and labor as I’m able to do my job with a skip in my step.
This Vendetta will be no exception for us. In fact, I ask now - as Brothers and Sisters within a Brotherhood - to step up passed 2nd place from the last two Vendettas and pick up 1st place once more. Taldryan took a realistic pride shot, now let us give them hell for it. So, who is with me?

Thirdly, the 1st installment of the Taldryan Times Volume 6 2010 is well underway and slated to be released mid-September (this month), and we are still accepting articles and comics and fictions and anything else that is TT worthy. We’ve got some nice guest articles as well, and I’m ecstatic to get them up in the infamous TT format and bring forth this year’s first issue!

Fourthly and lastly for the large announcements ( but not least) in this report, the appointment of Taldryan’s newest Aedile! The review of applications for Taldryan AED - albeit not the best session of applications I have seen terms of the amount of applications recieved – has been served with a few solid applications, none the least of which was Krath Priest Zaren Morgoth - AKA Anubis. This member displayed not only his desire to push Taldryan forward, but dedication to the overall betterment of the DJB and its members, but also his willingness and ability to continue and maintain his stellar amount of activity on projects and in communication with the members of the House. Overall, both the Grand Master and myself are happy with our decision, and are excited to see Anubis fulfill the stage of Aedile within Taldryan. For any future reference beyond my own, Anubiss email address is none other than: [Log in to view e-mail addresses]
Should you ever have the need for contacting Anubis, please follow through to the email above, while CCing me and your BTL.

Also: I have officially been in the DB for 3 years and 1 day! Each and every day has been a part in Taldryan, a feat I am more than happy about. WIN.

A shout out goes too:
<li> KP Zaren Morgoth, has not only earned himself the title of Wikipedian of the month, but in doing so worked his way towards a total of 5 Dark Side Scrolls in the past month. This is no easy feat, and when it is done on behalf of Taldryan makes it all that much more special. For all of you who see anything updated/changed in regards to Taldryan’s Wiki Domain; from Ground Forces, to templates, to the KrTal system, Anubis is behind it. And last but not least, he earned himself a nice handful of CFs. Keep it up brohim.
<li>KP Lokasena “ Sena “ Corvinus has by far been a busy bee in the fiction department. Placing in 3 out of the 4 DB wide VOICE competitions proves your stuff to be a member in Taldryan. Be sure to bring them grits to the Vendetta!
<li>OPM Benevolent Taldrya Whiner has been AMAZING at gaming, per usual he steps up to actually do some gaming. Ben snagged himself a nice handful or two of Crescents and CFs for his gaming, and showing up the last day of Beat up the Staff got 3rd place. You pwn, Ben. You are also old, so double pwn. </li></li></li>

In closing, I want to show off the finished Taldryan Ground Force’s pages. Due to the great efforts by Anubis, you can all enjoy the sexy wikiness and the great power that is Tal’s Troops. Taldryan Ground Forces Wiki. A neat little note about the Regiments within the Ground Forces; They’re named after Jac, Kir and Duga – three of Taldryan’s former Consuls who had a really great impact on Taldryan.

Also, who likes the updated Dossiers? I know I do.

Bens Boot: Name the 3 longest serving Consuls in Taldryan History.

The Ground Forces pages aren't done... but they're getting there.

Congrats, An00bis!

Somehow the word "almost" beside "done" didn't get there. =/
