Nighthawk Report #2

header


Hey Team,

It’s just past the midway point of September and been about two months since my last report. In this report, I am going to cover the activity since my last report, available competitions to participate in and more.

But first I wanted to start out by saying thank you to the Nighthawk team. It’s been a lot of fun to be back in the Battleteam and have the opportunity to interact on a “small” scale, so to speak. There is nothing like the environment of a good group of people in a Battleteam. Tt makes the Club more enjoyable. It makes you want to log in and see what’s going on, see what’s been posted, and what you have to shake your head at (I’m looking at you Ernor).

While I am very glad to be back in the team, I want to stick to my promise that my time as BTL would be short. I am still seeking interest from anyone who would like to step into the Captain’s chair and take over for me. It’s not that I don’t enjoy being a Battleteam Leader. But I’m at a point in my DJB career where I want to be helping leaders in these roles, not necessarily fulfilling the role myself.

If you have concerns, or questions or interest (whether you are Nighthawk currently or not), let me know. I’m happy to help answer any questions and get you on a path toward leadership. My time as BTL, Aedile and Proconsul have been some of the most rewarding opportunities I’ve had in the club and I genuinely hope to be able to help others down that path.

Arcona - Selen Development Project

Selen, our capital world, the home of the Clan, the place half of us hang our robes. Settled after the Exodus, Arcona has been on Selen for a good while now. So what do we have to show for it? We have the Citadel and a few cities on the wiki.

We can do better than that.

The purpose of the Selen Development Project is to flesh out the locales and the world of Selen. This means creating local venues, such as shops, services, restaurants, parks and everything that makes day to day life worth living in a city.

Each month (barring the first, which will get the ball rolling), we’ll be running a number of competitions to this effect.

These will include:

  • Venue/locale Creation (for wiki use, not ACC)
  • Development of NPCs for said venues
  • Art associated with the venues for the wiki pages
  • Fictions centered on the venues and NPCs populating them
  • Other competitions as things develop, perhaps even mapmaking

There will be awards monthly for the competitions ran, though there is no overall reward associated with this project.

But! You will be helping breathe life into one of Arcona’s primary settings, and your creations (with permission) may be put into wiki format and become a part of the Clan’s prospectus. This is a chance to shape one of the worlds we live on, and that’s neat.

Battlefront Cluster Race Send Off - 6 days remaining

September Mobile Gaming - Color Switch - 13 days remaining

Rulvak Qurroc awarded the Anteian Cross

With nineteen competitions participated in and seven Crescents, including two Diamond, two Ruby, and three Amethyst, Rulvak hasn't let up in his semi-retirement from leadership. In the three months since his Steel Cross, he's also picked up a Pendant of Blood, Seal of Loyalty and two hundred and forty Clusters of Fire, along with five hundred and seventy-nine Clusters of Earth. He also passed an Academy course. All said, I'm proud of his activity and am thankful that he's stuck around to be an awesome member and Clan mate. So here's an Anteian Cross, Rulvak, because you keep being awesome!

Not a ton to cover here. To be honest, I have not had the energy or thought processing ability to do much with the wiki at this point. Gaming continues to dominate our activity (#Destiny2isgreatyoushouldbuyit) and we have Star Wars Battlefront II right around the corner that a lot of folks are excited for (#FighterSquadron4life).

The Great Jedi War is impending next month and should be getting started right around the middle of October. For further details go here: https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/news/djb-news-great-jedi-war-dates-and-details - I’m not sure who among us has been involved in a GJW before but they can be a long of fun.

I’m not going to delve too deeply into lore for the ship or crew at this point, as the Battleteam consists of folks who primarily seem to enjoy gaming. Now, if someone is interested in the lore behind the vessel, the crew, etc - I’d be happy to work with them via TG or email to hash things out. It’s just not something I am able to do solo at this point. I’m a collaborative writer at best these days and without someone to bounce ideas off of, I’m pretty damn well useless.

So bear that in mind, future applicants for BTL. I want someone to replace me who is more capable than I am at sitting down and getting some writing done. I’m too prone in my retirement to want to sit down and game instead.

Continue having fun, engage with your fellow members and I will end with a huge shoutout to members of our sister house Qel-Droma - Lucine Vasano and Kelviin for their elevation to the Equite ranks this week! Excellent work to both of you and may you continue to rise within the ranks!

breathes deep Mmmm, still has the new report smell. Thanks for the shout out!

Congrats to Rulvak! Good work, Nighthawk!!!

You have to make at least one "Captain's log" before you pass the reins, though :P
