House Tyranus Report #3: The Proving Ground

Introduction

What is up my lovely Tyrants? Scudi(and Julius) here with our latest report as the leadership of House Tyranus. So here’s how this month’s report is going to go. First up, we’ll cover the activity of Tyrants in the past month. Then we’ll move on to talk about the results of the lore development survey before moving onto the feud. We’ll also look at the competitions currently available and the news posts out there before tying everything together in a pretty little dark bow at the end.

Tyranus Activity Spotlight

  • Andrelious: 4xCF and 1xCI.
  • Alaris: 21xCF and 20xCE.
  • Vaeril: 7xCF and 7xCE.
  • Khryso: Promoted to EQ1, 1x Crescent with Ruby Star and 1x Crescent with Amethyst Star.

A bit of a quiet month, but with the festive period and the knowledge of the then-upcoming feud, it’s still good to see activity flowing. Special mentions go out to Alaris for deciding to call Plagueis home once more, just in time too.

Tyranus Lore Developments

As some of you may recall, last month I sent out a survey regarding the opinions members had about the lore of Tyranus and Plagueis at large and asked how you guys would like to see things going forward. The results are in! We had 7 responses but they managed to cover a neat cross-section of the membership, with members who’d been in the clan 6 months or less all the way up 3+ years in Plagueis. There’s a lot of positives so we’ll go over those first.

When asked how lore should be developed, a majority of respondents favoured leadership-driven storytelling with elements for members to contribute. When asked how members should be able to contribute to the lore, we saw two clear frontrunners; member-written proposals seen by the House leadership and discussed with the unit leadership and fiction writing by the house, in the form of a run on or other such collaborative writing means. There was also some love for the Tyranus:Grand Opening style of lore focused competitions. We’ll look into finding ways to make the concept more appealing before trying again, though we’ll definitely be looking into the more preferred options.

When asked where they would like to see lore developed, a couple members came in with suggestions involving the wiki, notably a typical House response section to our wiki page. The other interesting idea was to differentiate Tyranus from the larger clan. While Tyranus’ role is to protect the military and economic interests of the clan on Aliso, I believe this is something we can look into. Finally, when asked if they’d be willing to assist the summit with working on lore related projects, a majority of respondents said they would be willing to help out.

Blood Feeeeuuuuud

As you may have noticed if your place of residence isn’t that of Patrick Star, there’s currently a feud with Vizsla in progress. The heading is a little tongue in cheek, though the fictional impetus behind the conflict was a failed assassination, as the club has a general “No killing characters without the writer’s consent” policy. That’s not to say the stakes aren’t high though. Not only do we have our pride on the line, but also a ship worth 15 MILLION credits. That’s a lot. However, if we win we get the same type of reward from Vizsla. This is arguably just as important, if not more important than a GJW since we actually stand to lose from a poor showing in this event. This will impact the clan’s story going forward one way or another. That’s why I want to see you all giving it your best shot and hitting as many of those bins with the best quality entries you can.
