Competitions

Lucioball 2020 “If you haven't seen LUCIOBALL is back and with some changes! Haven't played Lucioball yet? Well, think of it as a fun game of soccer. You only play as Lucio, 3v3 and you try to Boop the ball into the opponents goal on the other side of the map. While trying to keep the other team from making a goal. The "Classic" version only has One Ball. The "Remix" version there are TWO Balls and randomly within the arena a "Bonus Ball" will spawn. Getting a goal with the Bonus ball awards more points! They have also done some construction to the Sydney Harbour and Busan Arena, adding walls and beams to jump and run across! So objective for this competition is the Winner will be selected by Scoring the most GOALS. You may play in Remix or Classic and you do not have to group with another DJB Member. Everyone must submit their own submission. Ties will be broken by the most Saves and then by Interceptions if needed. In the crazy chance the third tie breaker will be by Assists.” Ends August 26th.

Star Wars Movie Madness PT Animals & Transports (Easy) “Some Star Wars transports have become as iconic as the characters that control them. Star Wars had a sense of adventure and fun, with many of the transports becoming cultural icons. This competition will be focusing on those icons. But watch out, some questions could have more than one answer to them. But for the most part, this will be an easy, simple, and fun comp. So good luck.” Ends August 29th.

Jedi Knight Academy: Free For All “The title says it all, making use of the approved Jedi Knight Academy DJB Server - gather with others from the DJB and have some fun with Free For All rules. In this particular edition, we will not use team FFA so it's every member for themselves.” Ends August 30th.

[FIST] August 2020 GMRG Competitions](https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/competitions/15877) “Welcome, Gamers, to the August 2020 gaming challenge!

Desolation of Eos City “GJW XIV Homefront has concluded, and so has the assault on the Brotherhood's homeworld of Arx. Eos City was a main target during the final portions of the Collective campaign against the Brotherhood, with much damage wrought upon it during the conflict. Depict Eos City following the Collective's assault on the planet's main metropolis. Your image can be of a single part of the city or its entirety.” Ends August 31st.

New Coat Of Paint “What good is a Ship, a Weapon, or piece of Equipment without a nice coat of paint? The task is simple. Take a piece of your characters loadout and add a custom flare to it. Whether it be a nice graphic, symbolism, or unique color scheme.” Ends August 31st.

Hello, Earthlings! “Ever wonder what it would be like if your alt, npc, or main character crash landed on Earth? Using your creative freedom, craft a story placing your character/s on our little piece of heaven. In no less than 500 words, spin your tale.” Ends August 31st.

Now this is Podracing! “Who doesn't like a good Podrace? The thrill of watching floating death machines careening around a mostly to highly unsafe and unfinished track solely for our amusement. And potentially our wallets. For whatever reason, regardless of your character's piloting skills, they've decided to enter a race themselves!” Ends September 1st.

Help Lost: GM Edition “Mav has gone missing. The end of the Collectives attacks on Arx have come to a close with electric results. However, the Grand Master has gone walkabouts and no one can seem to locate him. To this end you have been instructed to create a "Help Lost" poster that will be hung up around the Brotherhood and maybe further afield.” Ends September 7th.

In A Wasteland Far, Far Away from our very own Sera. “Art is meant to be an inspiration for human creativity. The greatest works of art act as wellsprings of new ideas, creating movements, styles, and new ages in their wake. Painting and sculpture, literature, and film have inspired countless new artists to further develop their own work. This string of competitions will be the first of many, centering around the creative inspiration of famous works of art, and the genres that they helped to found. First on the list; Mad Max. This cult classic film series came into being soon after Star Wars itself, and helped to inspire the decades of dystopian, post-apocalyptic thrillers that came afterward. The modern-day image of scrappy, savage biker-gang raiders filling the wasteland left by the fall of our society was created by these films, shaping the creative direction of much of our media. So, step into the shoes of a hard-bitten survivor of the apocalypse. Throw on your jacket, gather your weapons, and rev your engines. Embrace the wasteland, in a galaxy far, far away.” Ends September 12th.

Shout outs

Congrats to Archian on his Anteian Cross AND promotion to Professional. That’s two big ones for you. Let’s keep that ball rolling. I believe in you!

Seer Tali Sroka got a Sapphire blade. I for one think it comp-lek-ments the purple Twi’lek quite well.

Battlemaster Alaisy Tir’eivra also got a Sapphire Blade. Let’s hope she doesn’t decide to use it on one of us in her next experiment.

Adept Atyiru Caesura Entar Arconae has a Ruby Scepter. I’m sure it will soon have rainbow streamers attached.

Mystic Aru Law has been awarded a Steel Cross. Congrats to the Aedile. Keep that train chugging!

Sulith Bekett has been promoted to Commander. Very well deserved.

Finally, our lovable Wook Kelviin is now a Raider. Congratulations on the promotion.

And now to bring attention to some real overachievers: Master Marick Tyris Arconae and Battlemaster Alaisy Tir’eivra who participated in every single competition during the war.

That’s not to mention all of the members who participated in every bin. I just want to say that I’m so proud of all of you.

Things to remember

The Voidbreaker Crew Manifest is an open access Google sheet that allows any member of the Voidbreaker Battleteam to fill in where they would like to work on the ship. We will be using this as a reference for fictions to create a degree of realism. If you happen to have multiple characters, you can fill in multiple lines. Think about your character and where they would most likely be working day to day on the ship. Are they technically inclined? Perhaps they would be useful either in the engine room making sure everything runs smoothly or on the bridge ensuring cyber security. Is your character a medic? We could always use more hands in the medbay. Is your Sith always itching for a fight? Report for boarding duty. Are they an ace pilot? We've got a couple squadrons of fighters that could use you. Whatever your character is good at, we can find a place for them on the ship.
