A Witty Title - COU Rollmaster Report #1

header

Hello my friends, colleagues, students, spies, and Romans, welcome to my first Rollmaster report! For those who do not know me, I am Len. I have been in the Brotherhood for about two and a half years now. I enjoy writing fiction, usually character development or combat, and playing space pew pew (EA Battlefront 2) on PS4.

With these reports, I will look to highlight the best of our Clan, the rising stars of the Clan, and most importantly you, the member. We have a lot of ground to cover so let’s get to it.

New Joins & Returning Members

To start off the report, I would like to introduce our newest Odanites and some who have returned!

  • Rayth, a new member!
  • Gen Solari, a member joining us from the Rogues!
  • Ryuu Suoh aka Nero, also joining us from a brief stint in the Rogues!

Event - The Consul Bride

In case you missed it, we have an event running for six more days with Arcona! The story you ask? The fiction can be found here, but to summarize our former Consul, Turel, and Arcona’s former Proconsul, Uji, were captured by the forces of the Collective!

I encourage everyone to try and finish at least one event every day until the end of the competition. You never know who may win an event, even if you do not think you did well! Never be afraid to ask anyone questions. No one on Summit bites, we are here to help you.

Recent Reports

A bunch of first time reports that are excellent reads and a report from our Consul, Archensov.

  • From our Birb n’ Chief: The Consul Report
  • First new Hoth Quaestor report
  • First report from the new Wildcards Battle Team Leader!
  • First new Satele Shan Aedile report
  • Last report for Maximus as Satele Shan Quaestor

Member Spotlight

In my future reports, I would like to use this portion of my report to bring the spotlight on you the members. I will select two members, one from each House, to be interviewed using random.org’s random number generator.

If it lands on someone who has already gone, I will reset and try again. If you do not respond to my email or Telegram message (you will get both if selected) within 24 hours, I will select someone else. Fear not if you are on vacation or unable to answer, you will still be eligible for your moment in the spotlight!

Master-Student Program

Odan-Urr offers all its new and returning members membership in the Master-Student program. If you are interested, I will pair you with a more experienced member of the Clan to help guide you on your path to Knight and beyond. This is not only a great way to get to know the Clan, but it offers a wealth of fictional opportunities. I encourage our younger members to request a Master, and I encourage our more senior members to think about signing up to be a Master. This is just another way to give back to the Clan and help a new person along. If you’d like to sign up, simply send me a message on Telegram or give me an email.

Rollmaster Projects

The Mentor Project

An initiative started before I became Rollmaster is getting new life. Mentors are here to help everyone, regardless of rank, in their Odanite lives. Mentors are here to help develop active, responsible, friendly, and knowledgeable members of the Clan and the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. Each Mentor brings experience, personality, and knowledge of the workings of the Clan and Brotherhood to our Clan channels. Mentors are here to assist all members regardless of rank. Feel free to reach out to them with any questions you might have!

Our current Mentors are:

The specialization of each of our Mentors is by no means the only thing they know. However for new members, these subjects are key to developing their character fictionally.

The Academy

Now that the Praxeum is up and running, I have decided that along with maintaining the Jedi’s training center, the Clan will have a new training center. This one will serve as the fictional starting point for our Loyalist members and all of our NPC Loyalists. For now it is simply the Academy, but in the future I hope to have a name that fits the history and culture of the Clan. Stay tuned for details.

If you are interested in helping develop the Academy, please email me or send me a message on Telegram!

Knights and Equites

Traditionally the role of the Rollmaster (gosh I have been waiting a while to use that joke) was to keep track of the current membership and statistics for their Clan in the days before our most excellent website. Now my role is to help keep you, yes you the one reading this report engaged. Actually not even just you, but also you the one not reading this report (who should be).

I am not the only one here to help you either. The Odnite Code puts the burden on all of us to help each other grow our fellow Odanites. As Bill Nye once said “Everyone you meet knows something you don’t.” This is the principle behind the creation of the Mentor program, but truthfully, we are all mentors. If you see someone struggling, but you do not understand why, lend a helping hand. You may know something they do not yet know.

Ask Len

This is the part where I answer your questions:

Aura asks "How excited are you to finally lead a COU school project, aka the NFU school?"

Response: I am quite excited! I have the opportunity to work with the members and develop something completely new that will last for some time. I am sure it will undergo changes in the future, but that is okay. Everything has to grow in time.

Arch asks: “What would you tell JM Len if you could, whether it's advice or just protips?”

Response: I would tell JM Len to interact more with the group earlier on. Odan-Urr and in general the Brotherhood at large is about having fun. Everyone is here for that, so loosen up and have a good time! As I slowly started to interact more I realized this and it makes talking to others, even those not in your Clan, easier.

Tisto asks several questions: “Will there be bagels at your rollmastering ceremony? Is it a byob? Will there be bbq? Gambling? What's going on bossman? Who are Len's ic friends? Do they get to sit at his table during the celebration?” Response: I would think Len would have the grand opening of the Academy (working title) catered with bagels, most flavors you can find. As to the BBQ, probably. However what kind would be the hardest part. The second question of who are Len’s IC friends (those who I have repeatedly appeared in fiction with) would be (in no particular order) those on the Summit he served with during the War and after plus, Tarvitz, Tamashi, Ethan, Junazee, Yuki (though I think he is still mostly terrified of her), and Tisto. Still working on outside Clan relationships as well. The table for the post ceremony festivities is a giant round table

Arch asks again “What part of being RM are you most excited about?” Response: Getting closer to Consul...Just kidding. In all honesty, pretty much all of it though I think once we get things in gear with the pre-JM4 members I am most looking forward to working on member retention and fiction creation.

Jack asks: “What are your plans to continue to combat and maintain retention rates?”

Response: To be 100% blunt: I don't know yet and I know there isn't a catch all for this issue. Sometimes just talking works, or starting a fiction. Even just asking someone to help with something works, but every case is unique.

Some useful links for everyone:

Conclusion

I certainly hope that this report is to your liking. If not you can send it back to the kitchen, I’ll throw it in the space microwave and bring it back. I look forward to working with and getting to know everyone better in the future and also I promise to have gifs in my next report!
