Odanites,

Well, the war is over. We aren’t first clan anymore but that’s never been integral to our identity and what we strive for as a clan. As your consul, what I wanted above all else was for you to have fun and do your best. I’m happy to say that I’ll be celebrating that spirit and the accomplishments it's achieved for much of this report. In addition, there is a bunch of news to share, some competitions to spotlight, projects, and I’ll be covering some upcoming plans for the clan. Let’s dive in. I apologize for the rugby gifs in advance. :)

The War Effort

Welp, we weren’t able to keep our streak going but we are a solid middle of the pack. I send congratulations to Arcona, Naga Sadow, and Vizsla for their first through third places respectively. The questions I ask myself as consul are two-fold: did you all fun doing it and did you try your best in whatever competition you did. As your constant cheerleader, I can proudly say that I saw people having fun, trying their best in whatever competitions you chose, and putting forth a lot of work despite some pretty hellish real-life situations. I know some of you have been hard on yourselves and its true that there is room for improvement, but remember that one competition entry determined some of the overall placements during this war. Every competition counted so first I thank everyone who participated during the war for your clan, starring those that hit all bins. Some of you even earned your first nova!!

War Shoutouts

Several Odanites did exemplary work during the war. As such, I’ve dedicated this section to their excellent efforts for the Clan, whether it be through competition entries or overall placement. Please take a moment to look over the triumphs of Odan-Urr and congratulate your fellow Odanites. There are a lot of good entries here that a lot of us haven’t probably seen yet. :)

First, two of our own placed in the top 10. Join me in congratulating them on a job well done!

• Morgan B. Sorenn (Vyr) on placing 8th overall, making him our Clan Hero!
  
• Kasula Daegella on placing 10th overall!

Second, I’d like to put a big spotlight on those that placed in the competitions during the war. A Great Jedi War is heavily favored towards placement and many of you tried very hard to do so. If the entrants decided to share it with everyone, it will be a public link. If not, it will be a private link for Odanites. Of course, some opted out entirely. Join me in commemorating their hard work and effort by taking a look at their winning entries. :)

Upcoming Plans

Now that October is underway there are a few things coming up that I’d like you all to know about.

• Planning for our fictional roadmap post-war is well underway. I’ve had the pleasure to review some very exciting ideas from your House Summit and I am in the process of flushing out the clan-level ideas. I’d already had some questions as to what this might look like so I’ll give you some teasers and remind you a few things I’ve already brought up in past clan fiction updates.

  • Before the war started, I teased pirates inside the Kiast system. They aren’t going away and they want something. In addition, our NPCs will be getting a more personal touch to them. I’ve been told a good word for this upcoming House fiction segment is “Vietnam”.
    
  • A key theme moving forward for us at the clan level is that we are fictionally part of two organizations: the Brotherhood and the Vatali Empire. What happens when they pull in opposite directions? ^^ I plan to pull on this thread moving forward as we engage with other clans, the dark council, and the wider galaxy. This includes how we engage with both the Collective and the Severian Principate, both of which won’t be going away. Neither will our big theme: We fix problems in the galaxy, in whatever form we can, regardless of boundaries.
  • Another key theme is the fact that Odan-Urr is getting used what it means to be a Vatali citizen. Cultural clashes are always particularly delicious. It makes me think of Odan-Urr as rebellious teenagers and the Vatali as older parents who are wondering why we won’t just get a haircut.

• A new Clan fiction will be released in a week or two, ideally the former. I already have some ideas for it that will stitch together the GJW finale fiction to our next fictional steps moving forward. Stay tuned!

• Coalitions are going to get looked at again. We frankly have too many and I’d like us to be more focused with them. If you really love one of them, this is the time to let me know. I’ll be putting out a survey to everyone to get your feedback. :)

• A project called the Odanite Defense Force will be kicking off. Len Iode has some more details on it but the general idea is that they would fill roles like police officers, local troops, criminal investigations, fire protection/prevention personnel, rescue personnel, immigration control, medical personnel, and medical investigative services for both routine and crisis situations. Stay tuned for more as the month moves along.

• Lastly, Odan-Urr will be fully kick off its recruitment efforts. If you’d like to help with that and haven’t dm’d me already, please do. :)

AskAura

Tarvitz Asks: “Now that the Great Jedi War is out of the way, may I ask if you can offer any hints as to what stories might follow in the months to come?”

Gavriel Asks: “Maybe just a different version of that question: What's next/on the horizon for COU, both in terms of story and upcoming event plans?”

Aura: I’ve answered a bunch of this in the Upcoming Plans section so I’m going to point you up there but I tease with this music video. I’ll also take this opportunity to address the upcoming event plans. There are some plans in the works for a House event and I’d like to also get in a clan event sometime after that. I know it’s a little vague right now but we’ll have more to share as this month moves along. Also, we will be putting more energy into our weekend events as well for gaming and ideally fiction.

Tarvitz Asks: “What is best in life?”

Aura: Good friends to show pew pews with, Sushi, Doges, and the Rugby world cup (specifically the Irish, English, Scottish, Austrialian, and New Zealand teams)

Tarvitz Asks: “Are there any more animals you would wish for Solyiat to have once writing on the ecosystem starts again?”

Aura: Silly answer: Gigantic Fluff monsters that only a SW Hagrid would love. On a serious note, I’ll have to think more about this. I know I like worlds when mammals and dinosaurs exist on the same planet. That’s all I have for now.

Ethan Asks: “Can I store failed science projects in the breakroom freezer?”

Aura: stamps denied with her new Howie stamps

Sa Asks: “why do you try to kill us all with putting out sushi?”

Aura: Yasss

Ethan Asks: “When can we wax Celevon's whole body to use him as a distraction?”

Aura: Sure. Morgan won’t mind. Celevon, you okay with it? Celevon says yes.

Ethan Asks: “would it be considered a dick move to weaponize a moon for the sole purpose of stealing it to wreak irreversible damage to a planet?”

Aura: which planet? does it have sushi on it?

Ethan Asks: “Are we finally going to get @MarinakaVyr rehab for his addiction to minis?”

Aura: Nah. It's pretty art. But he has to share them. Sharing is caring.

Ethan Asks: “Please tell @Revak to stop eating my cookies. Those are mine and I put them in my desk for me, if they were for everyone else, they'd be in the coffee room.”

Aura: So Revak is the cookie monster. Got it. Well, I'd say leave a trap for him next time...

Pravus Asks: “what gmrg asset will you pick?”

Aura: stamps Pravus as denied

We have a lot of work in front of us but many of you exemplified the Odanite Code and it's that spirit that will get us back up to the top. I believe in every single one of you and your ability to make Odan-Urr even better. As you look back on your experiences during this war, pat yourself on the back for the things you’ve done well (your clan certainly is) and take note of things where you can do better. Odan-Urr is a family and I promise you your summit will be working hard to make sure we all have fun, improve our skills, and give you plenty to do. Now let’s go forth and kick some ass together. For Odan-Urr!

Also, don’t forget to take the GJW Survey. It’s the only way these can improve moving forward.
