House Galeres Report: Shorter Report for a Shorter Month

header

Why spend time on long-winded introductions? Let’s get right to it.

Admin Notes

Membership Audit

We’re currently looking through the rosters right now at our less active members: folks with little to no presence in competition participation/organization, service positions, or even Telegram. Over the next month, we’ll be reaching out to these members and trying to determine a way forward that either puts them back into a more active position/role, or at least clarifies what the lack of activity is about. This is not to be confused with a roster purge; we literally can’t do that, nor will this be looking at folks that are more casual participants. We expect little to no impact to the general membership, so this should only serve as a point of reference if you hear either of us talking about it openly.

Roleplay Sessions

We’ve had some good runs over the past month-and-some-change, including both more relaxed settings and action-oriented ones, and all while we’ve had back-to-back events that had their own weeks-long RPs. Pending feedback, the weekend model seems to be a success and we will be sticking with it for the foreseeable future. If there are any suggestions or other feedback, shoot me or Sera a message on Telegram or via e-mail and we’ll address it as best we can. Please remember to keep all feedback professional, have a suggested fix to an issue, and understand that bringing feedback doesn’t de facto mean that the suggestion will be adopted.

If you want something a little more pre-built, we will have an RP feedback form linked in the Galeres Telegram channel shortly after this report is released.

Event Calendar Continued

We’re keeping this bullet point calendar here for you guys to keep up that expectation management as the months and events go by.

  • February: Clan event ONGOING
  • March: Club event for lead-up to the summer Vendetta AND House event to get this Eldar ball rolling again. We’re anticipating the Club event will be low-impact enough that the House can still do its thing, and may be offset slightly to reduce the simultaneous pressure.
  • April: Break time, minus any offset from the House event.
  • May: Anticipating possible start time mid-month for the Club Vendetta. Nothing set in stone.
  • June: Vendetta will be in full swing, possibly ending mid-month if it starts in May.
  • July: Break time.
  • August: Clan event; another step on the train of monster creatures or whatever Lucine and Rhylance are cooking up.
  • September: House event that will be half plot, half development for Eldar.
  • October: House mini-event with spoopy themes because October. Less plot, more antics.
  • November: Break time.
  • December: Hey look, Sithmas and Life Day are back. No House/Clan events planned.

Upcoming House Event

In case you didn’t read it last month, we have a House event in March we’re running hot on the heels of the Clan event this month. We’ll probably try to offset it by a week or two to give a little bit of breathing room between big things. Things you can expect over the course of this month:

  • House RP on Eldar to investigate the other denizens of the planet; likely on the weekend of Feb. 20th.
  • House fiction update for the event opening; likely on the 27th.

Gird your loins, kids, it’s gonna be a busy transition into spring. Come March, we’ll be experiencing Second Contact.

News

Howdy there, fellows! Lots of stuff going on in the Brotherhood at large, so let’s get to it!

  • Round one of the SARLACC competition has finished up! We had some excellent matches in Arcona in the first round, finishing half of the 22 matches completed! There’s a few weeks until the second round starts, and I would encourage anyone who hasn’t tried to get ACC qualified to give it a shot!
  • Applications have opened for the 2021 Chamber of Justice terms! These are great positions for those who would like to aid in the administrative side of the DB as a whole. They require no particular experience, but applicants are encouraged to have a good grasp of Basic Covenant Studies, as well as an eye for fair justice and impartiality. Good luck!
  • Karran’s distinguished service as Captain of the Voidbreaker has come to an end. That means that a job slot has opened on the HQD side! Not very much time left, so get those applications in while you can!

And that’s about it for the news segment. Now, onto the competitions!

Competitions

  • No matter who we are, Father Time comes for us all. This competition offers us a window into the future, giving us a view of what our characters might look like when they’re old and cantankerous. Get those subs in!
  • In a similar view, ever wondered if you could survive the world of high fashion and beauty pageantry? This is your chance to find out, folks! Note that this competition is unisex, ladies and gents welcome. Thanks, Kaled!
  • You think you know your Sith? All of the Sith? Here’s your chance to do it!
  • While Halloween has passed us by, Vampire season never ends! Are you more of a Dracula type? A shiny, sparkly, Edward fan? Or, maybe you just wanna write some over-the-top material and make Q read it. Either way, sharpen those fangs and get typing for this fiction comp!
  • The DIA continues to request your assistance in their shady shenanigans. Easy comps, quick to complete, great for our Journeymen to pump their numbers up!
  • And last, but certainly not least...dark things are stirring on the seafloor around the underwater city of Celeste. Something stalks the tunnels beneath the streets, snatching people in the night. We need to step in, stop whatever’s going on, before the truly unthinkable happens. Participate in our Clan Comp now!
