House Ventress #1: Changes and Events!

Hello there Ventress. As I’m sure you’re all aware by now that Nora has now been appointed as Pro Consul and that I, Tahiri, have now stepped once again into the position of Quaestor. You all already know me pretty well. However, for those of you who don’t know a lot about me, let me do a quick little introduction.

I’ve been a part of Plagueis for several years now since my home Clan Tarentum fell, becoming a part of this very welcoming community. I’ve held several positions within the summit, including Aedile, Quaestor and Rollmaster throughout my years here. Around the Brotherhood I’m known by several nicknames, many of which are just variations of my name, for example Tahizzle, Tagiggles, and Tahiggles, though I’m mostly known for my most signature moniker as the Nicest Sith. Once you get to know me, and I hope we surely do, you’ll see why. I'm here to do my very best 110% at helping you all where and when I can in anything you all need. Now enough about me, it’s time to jump into my first report. Let’s go!

House Ventress

We got a bunch of really cool things coming down the pipe. Wednesday night's hosted Jackbox fun night was the first of many more things to come. The summit wants to create more fun nights like that, and they will be at various times, so keep an eye on Discord and your emails for those upcoming events hosted by TuQ, Nora, Selika, and myself!

One thing that is already going and is seeing quite a bit of fun interactions is the Training Camp Session Role Play for those who are still a bit new, and very new to the Discord DJB RP system. That is being DMed by our lovely PCON Nora, and her co-DM, the best hat, TuQ. Be on the lookout for a more advanced RP coming in the near future, for those of us who have already gotten several RP’s under their belt. Right now though I would ask to let the beginners get settled in.

The summit put together a survey to gain info and feedback from you, the members of our clan’s community to help us better understand your interests within the clan and the Brotherhood. Please do the survey and help us, the summit, to make competitions and events that best interest you. You are the backbone members of Plagueis as a whole. Thank you to everyone who has already put their insightful perspectives into the survey. The input is greatly appreciated and helpful to the summit.

I’d like to also give a shoutout to those joining House Ventress. Welcome back into the folds Marcus Armani!

Look out for competitions, RP’s, gaming, and social nights coming up in the next few weeks.
