Greetings.

1: New monthly topics are out. The story topic is "Justice", and the poetry topic is "A Tale of the Dark" in the style of a Ballad. Usual rules apply to the story - if you're not sure of them please check with your Summit before submitting. More info on poetry submissions can be found at http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.org/krath/focus.

2: Results of last month's poetry comp have been released. The results of the story should be out this weekend. My apologies for the delay, but real life is getting exceedingly busy in the run-up to mega-important exams and the EH is having to take a backseat.

3: BattleBoards: those that signed up for this will get an email regarding this this weekend hopefully, with a view to restarting the competition up because we can do so now with the new MBs. :P Now you get the added bonus of Clusters of Fire for winning battles so there's even more reason to take part. Those that haven't signed up yet and want to can still do so at http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.org/krath/bb but you'll only have until midnight EST on Saturday to do that otherwise it'll be too late.

4: You may notice my IRC time being cut back a bit in the next few weeks. Again, this is because I have important exams coming up and I need to put in some heavy duty revision time. You will still be able to get in touch with me normally via emails and MBs, and I will try to put in at least two hours a day on IRC still.
