My minions of CSP,

This will probably be the last you hear from me until around January 8th... Stop partying! Wait until I've left! :P So that means all power is being transferred to Darkmage. He will speak with my full authority while I am gone. All tremble in fear, but if he overdoes it I will have him flogged on my return :P If there is anything that requires very specific Consul approval... it'll just have to wait :)

Alright, onto business. All summit MUST take the DB Leadership exam. I submitted mine today, and if I can do it... you all certainly can. It is not a hard test anyways. I believe DGM Mairin requires House Summit and above, but I would like to hear when I return that all my TETs, CMDRs, and SGTs have passed it. Also be aware that next year Mairin will start Summit evaluations. This will hopefully help awards go to summit who never get them :P It will be on a broad range of subjects including: Reports (timliness, clarity, info, on the database), Peer review, and other things.

Enough of that summit stuff. Onto a cooler topic: Commendations of Loyalty. I asked a few random CSPers for suggestions and spent a good half hour working through which 3 clansmen would receive the award. It is sent, sealed and certified. No worries about them not coming. As to who received them... I will not say :) The announcement will be in mid-january. All I can say is that it was tough cutting down my list to three people. I didnt plan on spending a half hour deciding after hearing suggestions :P

Onto the feud. It is still running :P So go do some stuff. I have played Pool and Minigolf a bit, did some Jk2, and hopefully I will finish the Krath events before I have to pack and leave. I want to hear of CSP's overwhelming number of submissions. This will determine the December Consular's own and will also be a possible source of merit medals for good minions who work their butts off ;) Make sure to keep copies of your stuff and show me when I return. ALL info is on the website I made.

Also consider the DGM's Xmas Bonanza... but if you are caught deciding between the feud and her... pick the feud. Sorry Mairin ;)

Well, I shall now leave you to Darkmage and his evil ways. Dont blow up anything vital and dont kill your summit. And Darkmage... dont abuse the Consular hot-tub too much. Later guys I'll see you in January!

Consul Saitou
