Shinies

Check out the comps part of this report and in a couple months I’ll post all the wonderful shinies you guys get. And I mean everything; from clusters, to crescents, and any other awards you all get along the way. So let’s explode this portion of the report in a few months. Also all those awards you get count towards promotions and other bigger awards, so let's hop to it.

New people and Promo!

Let’s give a hearty welcome to our newest arrival to the house Shotblastingmachine!! Welcome to the clan. Hope to see you around.

And now let’s also give a huge congratulations to our very own TuQ’uan Varick di Plagia on his promotion to Reaver (EQ4)!!!

Quick Announcement!

I wanted to let you all know that with the new year comes a new plan for the house. As such I will be reassessing the house in terms of activity and communication. For my part, now that my life has gotten a bit more stable, both financially and physically, I’ll be focusing even more on the house and getting some stuff together for you all. Now I know that activity and communication mean different things to different people; to me communication gives a sense of community and openness, where you/your character are free to express themselves. Activity is a variety of things: to me it means anything; from doing competitions, gaming with fellow DJBers, wiki and fiction work, to RPing in a chat or on Discourse, to building relationships with other characters, even doing casual gaming/get-together nights. Best thing about a lot of activity is that it all counts towards your next promotion! Now, I know this sounds like numbers and statistics, it technically is for upper clan summit and Dark Council, but me, I couldn’t care less about numbers. All I care about and want is for you all to have fun and expand your experience within the club.
Also please feel free to come to Khryso and myself if you have any ideas or want us to host get-together nights, RP sessions or anything like that. This all actually segues quite nicely straight into the main topic of discussion that Khryso will be going over. Take it away Khryso!

Aedile’s corner

Greetings, Tyrants! It is I, Khryso! I’ve got a short message for you this time around. In case you haven’t caught wind of it elsewhere, I’ve put together a survey for any Plagueian to fill out, whether you are a Tyrant or not. The idea of the survey is to get a better grasp on what types of activities the members of the Clan enjoy doing in the Brotherhood. It’s not all encompassing, I did my best to keep it relatively brief, but I was hoping to gather some information. This information should allow people designing competitions or events for the Clan to focus on presenting Plagueians with things that they actually want to do. Hopefully, this can help everyone enjoy their time with the Club more while also encouraging more participation. So, if you haven’t filled out the survey yet, please check it out here.

Thanks again to all those who have participated, please make sure your voice is heard. In the next week or two I’ll likely be collating the responses and gathering the data from the survey, so don’t delay too long. Until next time, this was Khryso.

Conclusion

So for a quick wrap-up, let’s get out there and do some comps, do Khryso’s survey (yes I’ll even take the survey), and check out the new clan Artifacts. There are lots of new and exciting things for DJB and the clan coming up. I'll also be talking with each and every one of you lovely Tyrants very shortly. So stay tuned.

As always, if anyone wants to reach either of us with questions or just want to talk, Khryso and I can now be found on Discord (if you're not on Discord yet, I’d highly recommend it. It’s the DJB’s primary form of communication.) and of course by email. We’re always open to chat with, and easy to get a hold of!

Until next month,

Khryso Mallus,
