Dark Greetings Jedis

This is report #9 dating 14.12.2002.and it wiill be the 40th report in the database :P I have a real big heap of news for you so I will immediately start with the first topic:

Activity:

Activity is on a good level as last week and the week before and I´m really glad about it. The only thing that concerns me a bit is the fact that always the same people are active and the rest of the house still could improve in their activity levels quite a bit.

In order to deternmine who in Cestus is really active and who isn´t active at all, I started an activity check some weeks ago. This check ended yesterday and only 4 people out of 27 were completely inactive and therefore will be removed from the roster. The names of the members whom the bell tolls now are:

JH Blackhero

PRT Zeth Ni

ACO Aleckz

NOV Sauron

I will request that these people will be sent to Rogues. After this activtiy check I´m really happy that only these four have to go, because when I started the check I feared we will loose half of the membership, but you all proved me fortunately wrong :-)

And now the usual RM report:

Mike - I found an apprentice - RebCrush.

• Played a large number of ladder matches

• played a smaller number of Arcona/Tarentum feud matches - though I won

them. (Aside of those against Dagger. Obviously. One day I'll beat the

sucker. :P)

• played in the very first Three-Way-Feud match. Unfortunatley we lost.
  

Well, looks like those cowards can take us only together. :)

• Aside of that I'm kicking ass and chewing bubble gum :)

• Oh, right: Dagger, Cypher, Camile, me and a number of free variables are

trying to recapture the Duel of the Fates from Episode I. If you want to be

in it, mail us. We are in need of roughly two people right now.

Rage Maki Thursday

Mostly hang around on IRC and the mB. Tried to get some Arcona-Feud matched

and participated in the Xmas comp

Friday

I played many ladder matches still lost the second place. (opponents: Mike,

Reb)

Saturday

Played again many ladder matches against Sukuth this time and even won!

Didnt participate in the OHC comp because I thought it would be rocket tennis.

Sunday

Had ladder matches against Sukuth and Mike and broke the 200 point mark.

Started with the Feud runon which is actually quite funny. Cant play the

mini events because of my firewall it seems had some discussions with the

judges on that.

Monday

Again posted in the runon and did some stuff for the Xmas comps since my

Trials in Gladius went on I was busy with those but I still participated in

the Obelisk Arena played against Vinny (lost...improved a lot that koala)

and Erei (won ...very close and interesting match) SO I got/will get one

medal :)

The next thing is the DJG three way feud: this is the competition you should focus now on.
