### The Weekly Jac

Report from the Office of the Deputy Grand Master

5 . 2 . 2003 <-

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Dark Jedi, I present to you, my report!

**** All That Personal Stuff ****

Well -- I am supposed to be out right now celebrating the 21st birthday of one of my friends, but I for some reason felt it was necessary to stay in and make sure my report got out on time. This has been a pretty rough week on me. I pulled two all-nighters in preparation for three midterms I had (and yes, it's just middle of the term for me). Did well on all of them, glad to say. Meanwhile trying to balance the DB with a social life has challenges all of its own. I repeatedly got yelled at by the girlfriend for ignoring her on the phone (I was talking to FF on IRC) :P. Oh well. I sent her flowers to apologize. God I wish I could tell her about the DB....but alas, I like her not being sccared of me. :)

**** The EH and YOU ****

As most of you have heard by now, we had an unfortunate incedent involving the Hammer the other day. One of our members personally insulted Ronin by saying something that should never be said, and that will not be tolerated.

I wish this was just an isolated instance, however, there have been insults flying back and forth between both clubs since the split. I, frankly, tire of it. We are another club now and it's time to move on.

With that said, I encourage you to stay friends with the EH members, but the ones who are causing uproars, or bringing them up in you need to be left be. Don't talk on their message board, and if necessary do not stay in their channels. We are not going to tolerate people furthering the demise of relations.

I realize the argument that what goes around comes around, but even if we have been called "morons" and "idiots" that does not give us the right to return the insults. We need to hold the moral high ground.

I hope that this is the last I have to speak of this.

**** New Stuff from the past week ****

Unfortunately for all of you, about 80% of what I worked on the past week will be anounced only in the near future. There is a tremendous amount of work going on in the upper tiers of the DB, ideas that are flying around left and right and the ideas are actually coming to fruition.

The biggest change this week is the addition of Lord Chamberlain to the DC Advisory council. Telaris "Mav" Cantor will do a fabulous job with this, creating alliances and being all-around helpful.

Two committees have been formed to work out some things in the DB. The First is the RPG committee. They will be making the RPG structure for the DB. The second is the Wargame committee. They will be doing what their name says obviously. These systems will be combined to work together eventually. If you are interested in helping out, just email me.

**** Keeping My Praetor ****

Sith Bloodfyre has been invaluable to me so far, and so unfortunately I have to deny all the people who solicited me for a new job. :) In fact, he has done so well that I awarded him a GC for his efforts. keep up the work Sith!

**** Websites galore! ****

I am working websites all this weekend. The DGM site is in-progress. The good news this time is it will be integrated into the database so I can do more with it. Hopefully we will eventually just merge the competition approval into the DB site, but until then, I feel that this will work.

**** The List: ToDoToDoToDo ****

• Fix the Message Board Moderators, again...:P

• Finish the DGm site

• Finish the other two websites I'm working on

• Assist in the creation of the RPG system and the Wargaming system

• get a 4.0 in school (yeah god luck)

My list is shorter than it has been in a bit, but I am A: sure to be forgetting something and B: putting a lot on hold for the websites.

I think that's it.

I'm excited boys and girls. These are exciting times.
