Introduction

Hello my fellow Pallians, our colleagues in Karness Muur and onlookers from the outside. In this month's report, I'll be going over the ongoing event, the clan Run-on and its series of competitions.As well as the earnings of our members, happenings from elsewhere in the club. So without further adieu, let's get right into it.

Plagueis War Games

As anyone who has given the Plagueis reports or Telegram a glance in the past week or so should know, this our little warm-up event for the GJW, currently scheduled for the start of August. You can find the container, which features all the week two competitions here. With that out of the way, Let me emphasise that this event is about having fun. We, of course, hope you can take part. Every little goes towards a promotion or medal. Speaking of, that's a great segue.

Promotions, Medals, Crescents and Clusters

• Ronovi Tavisaen 1 Crescent with Emerald Star, 1 Crescent with Sapphire Star, 1 Dark Cross and 1 Dark Side Scroll.
• Teylas Ramar di Plagia 20 Clusters of Earth.
• Tra'an Reith di Plagia 1 Crescent with Sapphire Star, 1 Cluster of Ice and 7 Clusters of Earth.
• Silent 1 Cluster of Fire
• Taranae Rhode 1Crescent with Amethyst Star, 3 Clusters of Ice, 12 Clusters of Earth and a Dark Cross.
• Kelly Mendes Promotion to Seer, 1 Crescent with Diamond Star, 1 Crescent with Ruby Star, 2 Pendants of Blood, 92 Clusters of Fire, 13 Clusters of Ice and 288 Clusters of Earth.
• Azmodius Equesinfernum Promotion to Battlemaster, 1 Crescent with Emerald Star, 11 Clusters of Fire and 2 Clusters of Graphite.
• Obsidian 1 Crescent with Amethyst Star, 1 Crescent with Sapphire Star, 4 Clusters of Ice, 2 Clusters of Graphite
• Oric Ral 2 Clusters of Graphite. Quite a productive month, which is reassuring so close to a war, given this war thing hasn't been done in 2 and a half years, that's not bad at all.

Manifest Destiny: An update

As the eagle-eyed among you may have noticed, there are no more Manifest Destiny competitions up to, during or after the war. The middle is to be expected, but for the sake of clarity, I'll explain the reasoning for the others. I've liked the engagement with the clan storyline it has created, but there are a number of things that need addressing. First, some of the earlier competitions were approved fairly quickly, once we had the format down. I liked this. Then it was said we needed to add the rules of the Run-on, so we did. However, the Voice in discussions with the Dark Council has been decided that the competitions will need reviewing and so for the foreseeable future, there will be no competitions for Manifest Destiny. I'd like to see it return post-war, though there may have to be changes made. We'll let you know more when we have new information.

Time for some edumacation! Quote of the month and On this day

So because I'm no genius in a particular subject but would still like to spread awareness, I'll be putting in a quote I feel is appropriate, before listing a bunch of stuff that happened on this day in history.

"The sinews of war are infinite money." M Tullius Cicero- Roman Statesman and Orator.

• On this day in 48 BC Julius Caesar avoided defeat at the hands of Pompey at the Battle of Dyrrhachium

• Roman emperor Hadrian Dies of heart failure in 138 AD.

• King Canute the IV is killed by rebelling peasants in 1086.

• 1553- Lady Jane Grey takes the English throne for a mere 9 days.

• 1584- William of Orange is killed.

• 1778- Louis XVI of France Declares war on Great Britain and begins aiding the American Revolution.

• Wyoming is admitted as the 44th state of the USA.

• Nikola Tesla is born in 1856.

• Boris Yeltsin is elected the first President of Russia.

• In 1997, scientists report findings from a DNA analysis of a Neanderthal skeleton that supports the 'out of Africa' theory. More recently seemingly contradictory evidence has been found. If you're interested, here's a link.

I hope there's something for everyone there, but I'm always willing to listen to suggestions for what events, births or deaths to include, so if there's something you feel particularly strongly that people should know, be sure to mention it relatively close to the date.

Closing Thoughts

That is all for this month, Az will be hitting you guys up with a report in 10 days time, so I'll be sure to tidy the report cave before I leave. Until next month, au revoir!
