Well that's right I'm your new PCON and I have a few things to say about it. First of all I'm not going to give you a stupid acceptance speech because I'm not lame like some of the dorks I've seen come through positions. :P Most of you know me and know that I'll be busting some ass to get things done around here and for those of you who don't you're about to find that out. And the last important thing for the introduction of this report is...if you read my reports you will benefit and perhaps even get awards, read on for more info.

Ok let's move onto the first order of business here. I know a lot of you, but especially those folks that are new here I do not know. Therefore, I've come up with something I want each and every one of you to do. I want an email every three days, which is a minimum of three sentences long from all of you. You can include anything and everything you want in the email just as long as it's not junk. I want to get to know all of you and not only that I want to stay in contact with all of you. This will also help me keep tabs on your activity state. Last, don't tell me this is hard to do as I did say you could put anything you wanted in there for the most part. If you want to you can make up three sentences about what an idiot I am and send them to me, that's up to you.

Also, I'm starting up a weekly most active member award. Activity includes IRC presence (talking not just idling), email, message boards, general order activeness (playing related games for sith and obelisk & writing for krath - send screenshots & writing to me), and competitions. The winner will be selected by me and who I think deserves it most for the week. The award will be a DC and will go on as long as I feel it's beneficial.

I'll be coming up with some clan trivia soon so we can start having weekly trivia and trust me it won't be boring like stupid DB meeting trivia. I've put up a poll on the message board where you can vote on times for it to be held, so go vote now. You can find the message board post here:

A blonde, a brunette, and a redhead all work at the same office for a female boss who always goes home early.

"Hey, girls," says the brunette, "let's go home early tomorrow. She'll never know."

So the next day, they all leave right after the boss does. The brunette gets some extra gardening done, the redhead goes to a bar, and the blonde goes home to find her husband having sex with the female boss! She quietly sneaks out of the house and returns at her normal time.

"That was fun," says the brunette. "We should do it again sometime."

"No way," says the blonde. "I almost got caught."

I know there is a big competition going on with Ektrosis, so I expect you guys submitting to every phase of that and whooping the hell out of HAD as a result. I mean come on that's where my fiance came from do you really want them beating you down? :P As for the rest of you, there are always the Obelisk tourneys, MP gaming nights, and other such constant competitions. Now on notes to the whole clan. TCC is going on and it looks to be rather pathetic from the signups I see in front of me right now. It runs for 2 months and runs all the time and as few people are signed up it really seems like an easy medal for a lot of you guys and gals. Honestly why have this kind of stuff if you don't want to do it. And of course let me know if you really don't want to do it, but suggest stuff you want instead. The url for TCC is:

Last of all for competitions, Pred had a 3 way feud getting lined up. I need to talk with the CONs/PCONs from Alvaak and Naga Sadow and see what's up with that. I'll let you all know the status of that as things get moving.

The only difference between Janson's mom and a washing machine is, after you drop a load in the washing machine, it doesn't follow you around.

Next, let's get to the IRC dealy. What is that you say? Well it's where all of the cool people just like you and me go and make fun of other people especially each other and pretend it's for the benefit of the clan. Seriously though you say? Well for the most part, but other than making fun of people it's the best way to communicate that we have available to us, so use it and don't make up excuses. The best way to get on IRC that I think most everyone uses is to get mIRC 32 for Windows, which you can find here:

http://www.mirc.com It's a free trial, but you can use it as long as you want.

If you can't install stuff on your computer or you're constantly switching computers in a lab, you can also use ehIRC, which is a java applet (through your browser) allowing you to talk in one channel (room) at a time, which can be found here:

http://www.emperorshammer.org/chat1.html

Now the last info you'll need on that is the following:

Network we use: Undernet

Channel: #taldryan

House Channels: #archanis

            #dinaari  

<font size="+1">Leadership</font>

Now what the clan needs for when positions are vacated are more leaders to fill their spots and actually be good at it. What does this mean to you? If you think you are a potential leader (ask me if you're clueless) and you'd like to get some advice, teaching, and direction in how to lead people, then get in touch with me and I'll try to help you out.

"[14:11] * Coranel beats Tiger senseless with a sock" Wow we know Corwhore has too much time on his hands. :P

Ok guys and gals that does it for this report. Any suggestions, ideas, or anything at all (including jokes about Janson's mom) send to me at [Log in to view e-mail addresses] or find me on IRC. If you don't know my IRC nick, then you're probably an idiot, so don't ask. :P
