Hoth QUA Report #9 - The Quiet before the Storm!

Introduction - House Event, exciting stuff and the War is coming, for Real this time!

First of all, I apologize for the late report but with my real life home being invaded by Taco and his wife Juna for the holiday weekend and having a busy week since then, I just haven’t had the time. Also, I was going to wait till the event was done and maybe be able to announce the winners, but I’ll get to that later.

The big news, just in case you have been living under a rock, is the Great Jedi War has been officially set and dates have been announced. So from Oct 13th to Nov 19th we will be competing to become the First Clan in the DJB (winner of the War). I will dedicate a whole section on War news and info in this and my next report. So keep an eye out for it and of course Celevon’s reports as well.

Another thing I noticed was the great need for a break from this event to the War and I have past that viewpoint to Turel and Arch. So they will consider that has they plan where they want us to go for the next few weeks, but from the house viewpoint, we will not look to continue this event plotline till after the GJW for sure.

Between now and then, feel free to work on personal projects, courses or even creating comps on your own. In any case, you won’t see anything major from Cel or I in the near future.

Now that your hard work is over ours begins, we are now sitting down for a roster review and I hope to be able to be getting out some awards soon! If you have any questions about your OWN record or what you need to do to get promoted please contact Cel, Sera and I right away.

Solyiat Wiki Update - after much of his own time and effort our very own Ka Tarvitz has completed and published the Notable Fauna: Strokera on the DJB wiki today. Go check out and feel free to thank him for all of his hard work!

House Hoth Event - Results and Where is the fiction?

Ok first things first - Where is the fiction?

Well, with this month’s report schedule getting messed up and the need for us to write a pretty long and detailed fiction — including member created elements — we have decided to work on the fiction to hopefully have it ready for you next month.

I would expect us to reach out to a few of you about your entries to ask you some follow up questions for potential inclusion into the main storyline for this event.

Now as for the Event results:

We had 13 of 33 members participate in the event and 2 people did tie for 4th with 12 points so just one more comp or two would have changed the entire picture. Honestly though? Celevon and I are very happy with the results as they are.

The lack of fictions is what surprised us the most, but we hear the need for a break clearly and as I mentioned before we won’t be doing anything big again ill after the war. Think maybe January or so.

Overall, congrats to the winners and it’s now on us to write a fiction for the House. Hopefully you will see that in my next report.

Great Jedi War XII - October 13 to November 19 2017:

News and updates about the war are scarce for now, but I do know this will not be a simple house, clan or Clan v clan event. This will be a huge event with many events. This is being built in a comprehensive and as fair as they can manner.

Participation will matter so I will never command anyone to do all the events. I will only ask to do what you can and event try something you never would normally do. Any participation is better than nothing. Even if it’s drawing stick figures or playing pazaak. If you want help or advice, please use the House Telegram or email and either Cel, I or someone in the house will help you. Reversely if you can offer any other member help, please do so.

Even though we are in the DJB and part of COU the most important thing we are is We Are HOTH! So help a fellow member if you can and don’t forget to partner with other COU members during the War’s big events.

The Scimitar of Lord Hoth August results

NOTE - We have already reconfirmed with the MAA and the Scimitar comps will run throughout the war so remember each War comp is worth 10 points just for participating. So if you want to catch up on points this is your chance.

More stellar numbers for August, with 22 members earning some point this month. This is a great thing to see and I’m happy to also report that besides first place, second through fifth place were fairly close. This will definitely set up a interesting last few months to the see who will be crowned the Scimitar of Lord Hoth!

So for this month the Scimtar of House Hoth is C’ree with Yuki Suoh in 2nd and Kenath Zoraon taking 3rd.

Good luck for next month!

Ask Edgar (Egg)

Ka Tarvitz asks May I ask if you would you say that having a battlenet account is more or less essential for gaming in the DJB by this point?

Ok this question pulls on both my QUA and P:FIST jobs so i’ll do the best I can to answer it. DJB Gaming in and of itself is very personalized and has many avenues and ways to be active and earn Clusters. It’s designed specifically in that way. You are right most of our PC gaming comes in the form of Blizzard games including the upcoming Destiny 2 release but not all do. Battlefront (and 2) and Star conflict are not blizzard games. So if your a PC gamer only then yes a Blizzard account is by default going to be needed but could you earn clusters without a Blizzard account? YES of course you can.

If you are a fan of or want to play any blizzard games or D2 then it’s what you need but there are ways to never ever need a Battlenet account as well. The Console versions don’t require a battlenet account and at the end of the day depending on your personal setup and game preference a battlenet account is not a absolute essential item to game within the DJB.

So in the end it all come down to the individual and what games they want to play or can play based on there gaming setup, having a console or strictly a pc gamer.

Blade asks How do you suggest your newer Hoth members get better connected with the House and Clan?

Well I would say this would go for new members, existing members and new transfers. There are many ways to stay in touch and communicate with the House and Clan. Obiviously the main way is through telegram but there are other less used ways as well. There is the email group and our new Discord Channel as well. Your first step is to reach out to your House Summit fist and discuss with them your best means of communication.

I know if a memeber or members tell me that email is the only way that can communicate with the House/Clan I will use that option and make sure the CLan summit is aware of it as well. Celevon and I try to make sure we always send emails when we drop important information but sometimes things fall through the cracks. If a member feels left out I encourage them to contact us ASAP!

In conclusion -

I want to thank everyone for submitting a entry into the event. I promise we will do our best to incorporate your ideas into the main story that we hope to have ready for you soon!
