Hello. It's me. And that's enough of channeling Adele.

This report is going to be shorter than usual, like the month of which it falls on! Of course, I'm going to cover the usual goodies such as awards and promotions, DJB-goings on, and some other stuff to muse about.

Clan and Club Happenings

Since last we spoke, we have a new Aedile, a new Proconsul, and a new Consul, (well, not necessarily new per say), and that is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg! Folks, there's lots going on, and as usual I am going to leave a few links below for your recommended viewing pleasure.

• Latest Combat Master Report
• Latest Headmaster Report
• Latest Wiki Tribune Report
• Latest Master At Arms Report
• The first report from our new Proconsul!

As usual there's lots going on, folks. We have new leadership with familiar faces here in Clan Plagueis, and there are big organization and logistical changes in the larger organizations within the Brotherhood. With the new year comes some well-needed change and some fantastic opportunities.

Plagueis In-Character Resources

This report I wanted to (once again) highlight some fantastic resources that can be utilized in various ways from the Wiki. Specifically, I wanted to highlight Clan-specific information, such as the descriptions of our various settings, our military layout, and more.

Some of you out there may be asking, "But Laren, I'm not usually a writer. Why would this be useful to me?"

These resources (found below) can be utilized is so many ways! The obvious, of course, is in writing. This content provides folks real settings and context with which to create a story in our own world. Using this content you can explore the Clan and its home from top-to-bottom, add detail and depth to your character history, and get an idea of where it is that the Clan fictionally resides.

But the uses don't end there. You can utilize this information to create competition prompts - perhaps you are going to explore the surface of Aliso? Perhaps you want to expand on our home and create an art competition, asking folks to depict other areas of the vast, largely unexplored planet?

Content in all forms, whether on the wiki, through a competition, or via other methods is what drives this club forward. Once you're in the business of creating quality content, you have made the step up from participant to producer. Create it wisely and well, and utilize it accordingly. :)

• Clan Plagueis
• Aliso system
• The Pinnacle
• Supply Station Omega
• Korada Monastary
• The Circle
• Ascendant Fleet
• Ascendant Legion

Things to Do!

I must be a list master, but I assure you I mean well. If you're looking for some competitions of interest, I have a few listed down below that will get you started in the right direction:

• The Pinnacle - by Abadeer Taasii. "The new home of Clan Plagueis is both impressive and daunting. A massive super structure that is now our base of operations. I want to see what's in your mind's eye when you think of your new home."
• A Pantoran and a Demon walk into a bar - by Kelly Mendes. "A series of jokes have started cropping up. They all start with A Pantoran and a Demon walking into an establishment. The Demon in question has noticed this and has requested that people submit their best jokes to her for judgement."
• A Fex-ing Encounter - by Atra Ventus - I'll save the description and implore you to check this fiction competition out.
• The Dark Brotherhood Needs You - by Rins'ler Sang-Kalinor. Are you interested in propaganda posters? Are you an artist? Check this out meow.
• MAA Puzzle #2 - by Howlader Taldrya. Puzzles! Need I say more? Do the things!

Conclusion

Folks, I bid you adieu. Keep doing the things, keep listening to Kelly, and keep being the best damn House in this Brotherhood.
