1) Shadow Academy Upgrade Progress

I love, I love, and I love some more. I've seen the start of my site template (actually, rather close to its final form) - some of it needed correction, and I expect it will undergo further makeovers as time passes (when people go, "Ewwies, ugly!"). But, it's getting done!

The material correction is, as I've said, upstairs (i.e. my brain). I've talked to a number of people about their thoughts, and as soon as I get that nice template, I will go on a correction binge. If all goes well, you will assuredly have a new Shadow Academy site by mid-December at the supreme latest!

The Combat Academy is plodding along. Concepts have been whipped up, and with the help of my Magistrates, more yet should get accomplished.

2) Shadow Academy Staff

I am still accepting applications for Course Teachers and Combat Instructors. The more, the merrier!

My two new Magistrates, however, have been selected. This was a tough, tough choice, and I literally made my final decision pretty much as I was typing this report. However, props go out to:

Protector Freshjive

Dark Jedi Knight Dagger

Of the almost-dozen applicants, these two shone out the most. Freshjive offers the team experience, and Dagger offers dedication. Both had impressive applications, and will be welcome additions to the Shadow Academy Staff.

All Course Teacher and Combat Instructor positions will be finalized next week. I expect that I will end up with one Teacher to every two Courses, and about half the Instructors I originally wanted. This may not be a bad thing, but it will really come down to applications.

3) Mini-Projects

Now that Mai has spilled the beans, my current Mini-Project is, in fact, the Obelisk third of the GJW. :P

I am in need of level editors for JK and JK2, who can guarantee me that they will get the job done. I've already had site coders flee from me - the next people who try to run away from their work are gonna get EATEN. 'nuff said? >:P

4) Again, any and all email is welcome. I don't breath fire, and I don't shoot lightning out of my arse, and... well, you get the picture. :P

5) Graduate Report

My total graduate count is now 321. 'nuff said.

That'll be all for now... random updates to follow...
