Ah, the pressures of University. Work, read, work, read, drink alcohol, and work and read some more. All of my subjects have steadfastly piled work upon me and there doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day to do all of my assignments. It is with great regret that I must inform you all that I will not be able to process medal requests and e-mails as quickly I'd like to... so please bear with me on the slow responses.

And you thought I was going to say I was resigning. Hee hee >:)

My former Magistrate, Brian, has resigned. I thank him for his time as my Magistrate and wish him well in the future. Knight Camile has replaced him and has already begun performing admirably in the position. A slight change has been made in terms of recommending medals. For well-known MP competitions, such as COO-sponsored ones, Mage's Sunday Special and others, a URL will not be required, as I know they are legitimate competitions.

Dark Voice 30 has been delayed, as Korbane has had a few problems with his computer. We'll get it out as soon as time allows.

Medal Requested: Grand Cross of the Dark Side (GC)

Requested for: OBL Michael Halcyon (Obelisk)

The request was made by: DJM Kaine Mandaala (Obelisk)

Reason given for request:

Project Epiderm was falling behind greatly in what I had envisioned, and this member saw to it personally to make sure it was completed. His input in the project was invaluable. His dedication to the project was unwaivering. This project was single-handedly accomplished by Halcyon. Without his support it would still be unfinished.

Medal Requested: Steel Cross (SC)

Requested for: DJK Dagger (Obelisk)

The request was made by: KPN Shadonyx (Krath)

Reason given for request:For being the first member in the Dark Brotherhood to reach 100 Clusters of Fire, as well as beating Mage in the match for 100 CFs. Congratulations!

Medal Requested: Steel Cross (SC)

Requested for: GRD Minerva Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez (Krath)

The request was made by: DJM Shups (Krath)

Reason given for request:This is a formal request for the Dark Cross to be awarded to GRD Minerva Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez (Krath) for outstanding dedication and contribution to Clan Satal Keto and House Kirleta by developing a competition website for said Clan and House. The URL is http://ww.nebulouswe.org/ramirez/waza/. EXCELLENT WORK. -Page Meridian (Krath)/TET/Aleema of Satal Keto

**Minerva's TET put in for the DC. It has come to my attention though that this is yet another website she has created for the Clan. I feel a SC is appropriate because: It is an extended service outside of her house, yet for the Clan. She currently has never received a SC. Thank you. -Master Shups
