Not much to report this week. University has started for me, so the time in which I approve medals may not be as fast as it used to be. If I don't approve your medals within 48 hours, please e-mail me a reminder. I'd also like to remind everyone that all MP competition results should be sent to both myself and Brian, my Magistrate. His e-mail is soccerwars10@aol.com.

Dark Voice 30 will come out on schedule. Submissions will be closed on September 10th, so please get them in soon! September 14th, for those curious, is next Saturday. Also, a little clarification on the Dark Voice Citation: instead of the 50% rule, it will be instead the House that has the most members submit something. Therefore, if only one member from House Whatever submits three items, but three members from House Whomever submits one itme, then House Whomever gets the citation.

This week saw a nice batch of high-level medals awarded, not the least being a Ruby Sceptre to Michael Halcyon for his development of the Master/Student program.
