Consul Report

Tarentum,

First of all, I'd like to apoligize for my lack of report last week, I had a family member in the hospital and wasn't at home much. But on to better things. .I'd like to take a moment to welcome all the new transfers into the ranks of Tarentum, I've seen several new members added to each of the houses this week and look forward to seeing what you all can do. :)

And on another note of praise. . .I'm glad to see the teamwork and genuine communication that has taken place within Tarentum in the past few weeks. Our Krath composed an excellent run on, on which they were complimented on their ability to write as a team rather than glorifying their individual personas, and our Prelude to Andevia run-on while mainly written by a handful of Sith, also had a helping hand from their Obelisk brothers. All of Tarentum's Houses are to be commended for their recent work.

Discussion of the possible 'Tarentum Trials' is also proceeding nicely and I'm eager to see how this will continue to develop. So far there has been no lack of feedback on the idea. Though if you have yet to voice your opinions, don't hesitate. I'm fairly sure all of the houses have been informed and are circulating ideas everywhere; this is a chance to get your opinion in on how promotions will be achieved and sought after in the future, so please feel free to communicate any ideas you might have. :)

Phyle Reports:

--Mystics of the Black Arts:

Hi Mystics, sorry this is a bit late. I got caught up making an eclair

torte last night. I really wish I could

share it with everyone, it's better than chocolate and twice as addictive.

Anyway, on to news!

The Krath monthly topic is "Redemption" if you submit anything to the

monthly topic remember to CC Sith

and I for your merit points. You can also write a poem! Go to krath.org

for more details on both.

I hope everyone has gotten their personal topic for the Spectre of the Past

competition and are writting

wonderful stories. I know I am.

Is everyone writting a story to submit to Kodiak? Do not forget this one

folks it is due the 25th of this

month and doesn't have to be very long. If you need details again feel free

to ask me.

You can earn merit points for posting about absolutely nothing on the Mystic

message board and the

Gladius message board. So please get active on those.

The end of the month is coming up and I'll need everyone to check in with me

as we did last month. Let

me know what you've been doing if you want.

Wow with all this going on, I don't think anyone should complain about not

having anything to do. Now

get writing and show me you are still worthy to be a Mystic.

~Telona

--Wizards of the Crypt:

Here is the weekly report, a day early!!!

  1. Time Crunch, Part 2 will not be in this letter. I will do that sometime

before Monday. Reason for this

is that later today, I need to leave town, for personal reasons.

  1. Don't forget about the intra phyle comp, where each phyle is writing

about the other phyle's Tetrarch.

The End of this will be in 10 days.

  1. As I said, I'm going on leave. What does that mean? Well, I should be

back on Friday, if everything

goes okay. But, I will want to stay off the phone line to make sure

everything is all right with my Dad.

So, that means limited net time. Yeah, I got a cell, but I don't want to

have my Mom go and search for

the number. Not to mention, I need to work during the weekend.

  1. Before I forget, we have a new member, Wizards. Welcome Orin Williamson

to the phyle. Wizards,

don't start the hazing till I get back. ;-)

  1. Wait, I don't have anything else to say. Later.

Greetings all,

Another quiet week and not a great deal to report, a few good things have come to my attention this week.

COMPETITIONS

Firstly the competition Spectre of the past is postponed until April, the reason for this being there were some problems with the competition and it is postponed until this is resolved.

On the same point I would like to know what you guys would rather have for phase 1 of the competition either a single player or multiplayer missions.

The original Idea was for us to do battle with members of other houses for the competition as you are all aware in Cestus this was virtually impossible during the FTF and Andevia competitions as they always came up with some excuse not to play us.

What I personally suggest is that phase 1 be a Single Player mission and then we move onto a ladder situation within the clan but the matches with others will be pre determined.

In other words I or someone of higher authority will tell you who your opponent is and then you will arrange a time with your opponent.

Also for the ladder I was thinking about a team based event but there will be a ruling on this you must team up with a non Obelisk member who wants to participate in the JK events.

Anyway without input from you guys I cannot action this so let me know what you think.

ACTIVITY

My second point is activity, since the Feel the Force and Andevia ladders I am starting to hear less from you guys this is dissapointing as we are one of the most active Obelisk houses out there. So even if its a mail to say you are still alive let me know whats going on.

But on that note there is plenty for us to do and I will be tasking you all soon with some jobs to do for the house, you will be notified when I require you to complete your task.

I have also received some mails from my colleagues at House Tridens informing me of some excellent work on the posting on the runon for Andevia by GRD Blackhero, this sort of activity is what I would like to see more of the more our houses within the clan work together the stronger we will become. So congratulations to GRD Blackhero for helping to build bridges between our houses.

HOUSE WEBSITE

The house website is still on hold as my new ISP has still not come up with the software I need to sign up so I will have to put it onto Brinkster as a temporary measure this will probably be done this weekend, I will send another mail when this happens so you guys can go and evaluate the site and tell me what you think and what you would like added.

POSITIONS VACANT

In one of my previous reports I sent a mail out stating that there were two positions in House Cestus that were vacant, the positions being Rollmaster and Battle Team Sergeant.

I have only received one application for each position and assume that no one else would like to fill the posts. With this in mind I would like to congratulate GRD Gelton Torr for becoming the new Battle Team Sergeant of the Dark Hand. The Battle Team is now yours GRD Gelton Torr you have the following options available to you:

Change the Battle Team name

Change there motto

Host the team website

What I expect from you are the following:

A detailed report each week every Thursday listing members activity etc.

mails should be sent to myself and DJK Darkov.

Competitions for team members

Training in team events

And as always the excellent activity you have already shown

The position of Rolemaster is still vacant so send your applications to myself and DJK Darkov stating why you think you should be considered for the post and what skills you have that could assist you as rollmaster.

Noteworthy elevations this week

Reccomendations for medals

GRD Blackhero was reccomended for a DC for his submissions for the Tridens run on for Prelude to Andevia.

Your QUA is also working on a new idea for lower ranked members to be able to work for there promotion once leaving the Shadow Academy I will be submitting this to the DB hierarchy this week hopefully this will go ahead as I can see this helping guys get promoted outside of the house thing.

okay thats it from me for this week on a personal note to Gel apologies for not being able to check the English on that doc but I have been quite busy this week and was unable to do it.

HOUSE TRIDENS QUAESTOR REPORT #19

Greetings House Tridens,

I’d like to start by telling the entire House how pleased I am to have seen

so much open communication this week on the egroup! I’m once again impressed

by the way House Tridens is really coming together to work as a team, and

selflessly offered ideas for the betterment of the Order itself! I can

assure you the Sith High Warrior will be pleased with the suggestions and

ideas that House Tridens collectively produced. ;)

SBM Domi has been appointed as the new CMDR of HammerHead! He has explained

in detail his plans for achieving new activity and success for his new

Squadron, and with his experience and talents I have no doubts he will

succeed! The first couple of weeks may be rough for HH, but once the

introductory period is over with I’m looking forward to seeing it become a

well-oiled machine! I wish both CMDR Domi and his team the best of luck in

its efforts to become the best Battle Team in the entire Sith Order! Now I’m

curious to see what JH Clark and Sub-Zero will do to beat HH to this honor!!

Hehehe

The new Standard Operating Procedures (aka Standing Orders) for House

Tridens is in development. I’m used to writing these for the TIE Corps, so

it’s a bit harder adjusting the format over for the Dark Brotherhood. Bear

with me, and in no time we’ll have a SOP in place for everyone to refer to

in the future regarding House Operations. ;)

I’d like to express my personal thanks to GRD Blackhero of House Cestus for

his efforts to assist House Tridens on the Prelude to Andevia Team Run-On!

He’s a shining example of how our sister Houses are endeavoring to work

together for the betterment and benefit of Clan Tarentum!!

Speaking of the PTA Run-On. I want to thank everyone in House Tridens that

made this possible. I know we got a late start on putting this Run-On

together, but through your commitment and efforts, we were able to put

together a great storyline to submit for this great competition! Even if we

should not win the “brass ring” on this one, you can bet that your House

Summit will be bestowing honors of its own on those members of House

Tridens, and Clan Tarentum, that helped make this a success!! Everyone

should feel very proud to have demonstrated that the Sith is more than just

a bunch of mere fighter pilots!!! J

A bit late I know, but other projects and matters sidetracked me. But better

late than never eh? I want to announce that GRD Hev Randrowan was the winner

of the House Tridens Crest Competition! As soon as I locate the Comp ID

number I will request the appropriate medal. Congratulations GRD Randrowan!!

Activity:

High activity overall in House Tridens this week! The House Summit is most

members this week!!

EH and DB Competitions Currently Running:

Clan Tarentum “Spectre of the Past” Competition: (Currently on Hold!)

“Create a History and/or Bio” Contest: (Has been extended until 3/31/02!)

Create a History and/or a Bio about your DB persona! This is your chance to

tell everyone more about yourself, and the abilities and attributes of your

species as well. Now you have the opportunity to talk about your history,

life, home planet, etc. without any boundaries or particular questions!

Contest begins 2/23/02 and ends on 3/8/02. More information and details

about this exciting contest can be found at

http://www.cox-internet.com/wilstriker/tridens/character.htm.

All entries for the contest are limited to two pages, unless special

permission for a longer submission is request of the QUA in advance. Have

fun! I’m looking forward to reading the submissions. ;)

House Tridens Monthly Free Mission Competition: (Always running!! :P)

We are now well into the March portion of the Monthly Free Mission

Competition. All pilot files are to be sent to the QUA and AED. AED Torres

will be handling the actual compiling of results during the month of March,

but I still want to see the pilot files myself since I keep record of

overall activity as well. ;)

-Fly one or more of FREE-TIE #194 (Quest for the Sith Orb), FREE-XvT 40

(Death of a Jedi) and/or FREE-XWA 38 (Blazing Fury!). All are available for

download at http://www.tiecorps.org/battles/battletypes.asp.

The March segment begins (March 1st). The competition will run for the

entire month until March 31st. The results will probably go out the first

weekend in April. Also, this competition will use laserless scoring in TIE

Fighter, so don’t expect that the score you see in the game will be your

final score. Finally, only ONE submission for each platform will be

accepted, so be sure that the pilot file you submit to the House Summit is

your best performance, because duplicate entries will NOT be accepted.

The best pilot in each category wins a Dark Cross. This also counts towards

your monthly activity count; remember, whoever's flown the most missions

and/or MP matches at the end of the month gets a WR.

Dark Brotherhood News:

[See news at http://darkjedibrotherhood.org/dbjedi/news.asp]


AED Report:

<bow>

Well this week had its events.

  1. Spectre of the Past. Due to problems found, this comp has been postponed

until April. So until then, concentrate on other comps.

  1. Prelude to Andevia Run-on. Even after an extension, we see MD

complaining as usual. :P Anyway, this comp was completed this week and even

though the number of House members participating was low, the quality of the

posting was very good. One particular highlight was when GRD Blackhero of

Cestus House put in a few valuable postings. Cestus House is actually Clan

Tarentum's Obelisk House and Blackhero's participation was a welcomed

surprise.

  1. Procon Comp 1. Firstly, my apologizes in stating that the comp was on

both Free-TIE 191 AND Free- XWA 48. It does not. Either one can be done.

Anyone who hasn’t done it, get it done now!!!

Email addresses: [Log in to view e-mail addresses], your CMDR if you are in a BattleTeam,

the AED and QUA.

  1. March Free Mission Comp. Free TIE 194, Free XvT 40, and Free XWA 38. The

deadline is 31st March. Zip the pilot files!!! Email address: your CMDR if

you are in a BattleTeam, the AED and QUA. Only 3 pilots have sent something

in and we're halfway through the month.

In recognisation for his dedication to the House and Clan and providing an

example of how far a Dark Jedi can go activity-wise, GRD John Clark was

promoted to the rank of Jedi Hunter (JH).

Standing next John was GRD Rekio Corsair who has been a strong member of the House and was rewarded a War Cross (WR) for his level of activity and

dedication.

For reasons beyond the ability of even us, someone nominated QUA Wil Striker

for a award. J/K. Few could question Wil's dedication to the House nor his

determination to see it raise to greatness. Because of this and many other

factors, he was awarded a Dark Cross (DC).

SBM Domi was appointed CMDR of HammerHead BattleTeam with a loud party being held afterwards. Ahh someone tell Wil that I will return his formal robes

to him :P

We also saw two new assignments to HammerHead. PRT Llewellyn and PRT Jason Hunter recently arrived for duty.

Recruitment. This month’s focus is on recruiting. I warn that recruiting from other Houses and Clans is forbidden. Lets try and recruitment for Clan

Tarentum as much as for House Tridens!

I think that covers everything. If not, let me know.
