QUAESTOR REPORT #15 for Week Ending 18/04/2003
Dark Greetings Brethren of Qel-Droma,
House News:
**_New Phyle Tetrarch:
_I have recieved several applications for the position of Tetrarch and have found two members who best suit the position. It was a difficult decision to make when such skilled members apply for positions, however, we now have a new Dark Orb Tetrarch - Congratulations to **DJK Arcturus Gadeskin Xyler!!! While Arcturus is a new member to Qel-Droma he joined the Brotherhood the same time as me several years ago. His skills and dedication were made apparent to me once again when he joined Acclivis Draco a few months ago under my leadership. I hope you will all wish him well and I especially look forward to seeing what he can do... Thank you once again to the other applicants, as HM Pyralis has said several times in recent posts, not being appointed does not mean your are worthless, take this as a set-back and be as determined as ever to rise above the odd's and go for anything else that may come up.
**_Interim Consul Appointed:
_**Congratulations to Telonus "Mav" Cantor, or as he's known by most - Mav. Mav will be Arcona's Interim Consul during these times of reformation. His long and exemplary service as Taldryan Consul was the reason for his selection. He can provide us with stability and allow the Quaestor's to keep on doing the great job they are doing. We were sorry to lose Mage as Consul, however he will remain on the Arcona maling list and hopefully return in the near future!
**_Like Ships In The Night...
_**With the recent developments in the Brotherhood organisation some members, like CON Mage, have felt they can no longer contribute to the House and group. It is a sad day when we lose members as fine as TK-7764 - I wish you all the best and hope you will return to us one day. With the loss of some comes the gain of others and I am pleased to say welcome to Novice Xuthen, KPN Voranyen "the heart of HQD" d'Tana, former Consul KAP Trent Sterling, former Proconsul "L33t G0d" KPN Khobai and finally DJK Arcturus Xyler. Great to have you guys with us!
**_The Autonomy of the Brotherhood
_**Dark Jedi of the Brotherhood.
As we're sure you’re aware, the Brotherhood had officially rejected the authority of the Emperor’s Hammer Command Staff over the Brotherhood. For anyone who is interested, this is the notice that was send to Fleet Commander Ronin: [http://www.chaoslogic.com/db/grievance/official_grievance.html
](http://www.chaoslogic.com/db/grievance/official_grievance.html%20)What does this mean?
Basically, the Brotherhood has reclaimed its status as a Sister Organization to the Emperors Hammer. We will no longer be a subordinate Sub-Group, rather equals in the grand scheme. We leave the decision to react in the hands of the Emperor’s Hammer Command Staff. We have made our decision.
Why has this happened?
We've separated mostly because Astatine has demonstrated his inability to lead this organization effectively. He intimidates, harasses, threatens, and otherwise torments members to achieve his ends, and to add insult to injury, Ronin allows him to do it.
So what do we do now?
Hopefully, you’ll continue just as you always have. You’ll continue to hang out in #DB, talk to your Phyle buddies, and tip the occasional brew in you Clan’s favorite bar. We hope that everyone stays in the Brotherhood, and that is a sincere wish. We think that this is an excellent organization, with lots of potential to have a good time. This separation is to the advantage of everyone involved. Astatine may continue to tyrannize the EH, Ronin can ignore it, and the Brotherhood can have fun, free of their influence.
And what if Astatine expels us?
Not gonna happen. From the first day the various members began organizing this separation, steps were taken to ensure the integrity of the records system. The Database, Domain Name, Website, and the IRC Channels are under the complete control of trustworthy individuals. Astatine and Ronin cannot alter the Brotherhood records in any way. The most that can happen, is that you may be expelled from the Fleet, for remaining in the Brotherhood.
And if they expel you from the EH, for choosing to remain in the Brotherhood, then that just makes our point quite obvious, doesn’t it?
Sincerely,
Grand Master Firefox
Grand Master Jac Cotelin
Grand Master Justinian Khyron
Grand Master Chi-Long
Dark Adept Corran Force
Krath Pontifex Trevarus Caerick
Dark Brotherhood News:
**_Grand Master News:
_**Just to give you an idea of a few things that we are working on right now, I thought I would list a few items.
We've been talking about the creation of a fair justice system that would involve trial by jury. Verdicts would be decided on by a randomly chosen panel of members rank DJK and higher. Jury duty would be something very serious and it will ensure equitable treatment for everyone.
Starting very soon, I will make myself available on IRC at least once a week for at least one hour in order to answer questions from the members on a variety of subjects. Should this prove to be popular, the duration and frequency might increase.
We will also be making sweeping changes to the Dark Side Compendium, the Shadow Academy and in several other places to reflect the current status of the Dark Brotherhood. The Clans and the Dark Hall will be moved to a new location as well.
Expect to see some polls up before long about these and other projects that we thought up. I want to involve the membership a lot more in the important decisions facing the Dark Brotherhood.
And finally, as of now, Consuls will be getting Ops in #db. This will let them have a more active presence in our main channel and will also ensure that they can easily help members if needed. Please note that the rules in #db are slightly relaxed. This doesn't mean that you can insult others and the like, but it does mean that you don't have to watch every single word you're saying.
**_Deputy Grand Master News:
_**1) Grand Master on Leave: Yes Firefox is on leave because of tragic circumstances. I really don't want him to come back to an inbox littered with asinine requests that can easily be handled by myself or other Dark Council members. With that being said please flood my inbox with asinine requests.
2) DGM Matters: I've finally begun to settle into the position of DGM, several competitions were approved this week and I hope they will all go well for their respective participants. I've begun to review some of the projects of my Praetor and I should have my input on those next week, this deals with Clan Specific improvements and such.
3) DGM Office: I'll still be using Mairins office, no I have not updated any of the information, that is secondary at the moment. I will be looking for a new graphical format. I like the whole scantily clad woman motif but I think something a little more masculine, and possible green or red. If any members wish to make possible concept for this send it to me and the SCL.
4) NEW SHW: Yes my magistrate was chosen as the new Sith High Warrior. DA Reinthaler is actually a former Herald of the Dark Brotherhood so I would like to welcome him back to the DC. Reinthaler was in my opinion that best Infiltrator Wing Commander I ever served under, I know he will do the position great justice.
5) Clan overseeing: As SHW I saw some areas that needed improvement in the Houses of the Sith, just because I'm not Sith High Warrior does not mean I will still be making recommendations for changes concerning these matters.
6) Dark Hall: One project I will be putting to the Grand Master is a revitalization of the Dark Hall. The Dark Hall formerly was an area of the Brotherhood dedicated to the lore and mysticism of the Club. I think this lore and mysticism helped do bind the Brotherhood together and generate a more favorable atmosphere. I think such activity is needed within this organization at this time.
7) Avenger Campaign: One project the Grand Master and I will be somewhat tight lipped about is the Avenger Campaign, Firefox's initial ideals with this are very interesting and I think this will be a very interesting and in depth competition. This will take a lot of planning, I want this Campaign to be completely mapped out for all contingencies before it is set in motion, so please be patient.
8) Melee Nights: I know the Sith and Obelisk have been planning on unifying melee nights, I wish for this go forward as soon as possible and with two new faces in the positions of SHW and OHC I have no doubt that it will happen along with a lot of other fine projects.
9) GJW Awards: All awards for the Sith Phase I and Phase II have been recommended by myself, I need the KHP and OHC to send me award recs to me and the CHAN so we can we settle all the GJW Events in short order.
10) Darth Umbra: Well hey I'm Deputy Grand Master and the DSC says I can have a Darth Name so well there it is. Thats all for right now.
Krath High Priest Report:
Not much of a report since I'm still getting sorted. I'll ask to be added to Krath egroups hopefully in my next report (once my e-mail addy is sorted out).
I'll sort out some KMTs for May.
I'm going to find out what Tronnie did with all the GJW entries he marked
it would be a shame not to wrap that up properly given that they all got marked.
If people have any suggestions - things they'd like to see me run / things they think I should start up again - send me an e-mail :)
That's it for now. I'll try and have more cool things to put in a repot by next week!

_**Conclusion:
**_The order Leaders have changed again and the Brotherhood is free form EH tyranny. I have no doubts these changes are for the best - we are free to command our own future and the Brotherhood can only grow stronger as a result. The EH will be severly damaged as a result of this and I am glad to say that HQD has stayed pretty much in tact after the split. If anyone has any doubts or worries please mail me and I'll see if I can help explain the situation.
You have a competition that shuts tomorrw so get submitting! I knwo CON Mav has a mini comp planned for the Clan and the DC shoudl be releasing some comps soon too. Lots for people to get working on then - as always the DV is there and the Krath Monthly Topics will be starting soon too.
As always, if anyone has any problems at all then please don't hesitate to contact [Log in to view e-mail addresses] or [Log in to view e-mail addresses].
