#7.

Not too late ;-)

rummaging through his "in" basket

Okay, let's see what we have here.

GJW. That thing again. I already sent a message to the Clan regarding this competition, but let me reiterate: I don't care whether we win or lose. I do care that everyone gives his or her or its best and is as active as possible. If we are the most active Clan, we have won the war, regardless of what the "official" results say. If we arethe most active Krath House, we are the Bortherhood's best Krath, even if none of us places among the top 10 in any event. All I ask is that you give your best and make an attempt.

Medals. Uhm... two. LSS's for the Trout (2nd place in trivia) and the QUA (trivia author - you know, Aleema: This one's a freebie. Think up 10 questions plus a tiebreaker and be at the meeting. Usually nobody has trivia and you get to host and gain a new and shiny medal.)

Competitions. GJW ? Yeah, talked about that already. So that leaves us with Dalthid's interim #2 and these things are just great fun. And all it takes is a quick poem about our CON's birthday to get a shiny new crescent. That hard ? No ? See.

A little hint regarding the universal desire of lengthening your ID line: There's the thing called Shadow Academy and it contributes at least 4 characters per course (6 if you already got one). So do those things and you'll soon manage to get almost as impressive results from the !dossier command on IRC as when you use PIN #129...

Oh, and to make this business a little more interesting: ANYONE with four courses on their ID line before May 1 gets a Dark Cross. Anyone with seven gets a Star of Eos. (This applies only if you complete at least one course between now and May 1).

Any more need for medals ? If you have the desire to add a SC or GC to your ID line... well. No fixed requirements here, but I'll be happy to negotiate something with you and assign you a project that will lead to a major benefit for the House/Clan and the medal for you (for a GC I'll of course have to crosscheck with the Clan Summit).

No changes in roster this week, though at least one of the House is very close to a rank advancement, well done. I might point to the Aleema messageboard where there are details about how to gain any rank advancement up to DJK - complete those and I have no choice but to promote (not that I'd not want), do something equivalent and I'll be just as happy to get you your new and deserved rank.

Oh - both TETs and the RM reported in, decent work here. And the SotN are running a mini-AWOL check, AoD, please catch up there. I'd like to know that all Aleemans still react to mails and are still interested in the DB.

You still here ? Good. Just to prove so, send me personally (not the list!!!) a mail with subject "Not with me!". (Yeah, just making sure who in this House reads my report. And yes, this applies ALSO to those who don't think they need to reply to these checks. It takes 15 secs, so do it. Please ;-))))))) )
