Nighthawk Report #5

Welcome to the fifth installment of the Nighthawk Report, where crew activity is proven by too many awards, so many courses and updates on even more to do!

I am proud to see a high level of activity from our usual members, but I would also like to start seeing more from the members that like to hide in the maintenance shafts of the ship. Listed below are some top picks of mine for things to accomplish throughout the DJB and Clan Arcona.

• ACC
• ACB
• Competitions
• Strange and Beautiful

I haven’t heard back from anyone interested in any of the mini-projects I have shared, so if you feel you would like to give more to the crew and the Battleteam itself, please check the shared google drive folder and let me know what interests you. We need to give the wiki page(s) an overhaul, so that is on top of my priorities currently.

So all of the Fading Light ACC matches for this round have been completed and only a few are awaiting final judgement. Sight had a cooperative match with our very own Aedile Atyiru which looks to be a good read. You can view it here. Best of luck to both of them, but let’s see if Sight had what it takes to best one of our power writers! It’s a win-win either way, and I salute Sight for his efforts to make it this far into the ladder.

Antei Contract Bureau!

This is still one of my favorite ‘programs’ to participate in. If you haven’t tried it yet, please do so! Just fill out the form, grab a contract, wait for the prompt and get to it! An update to the timing out situation has been released since my last report: If you time out, you are allowed to request one extension with no extra demerits. After the second two week period, however, if you time out, you permanently receive your -2 points.

I have seen a lot of great writing from members that don’t usually do a lot of writing, so keep up the great work if you’ve been participating!

So many awards to list this time around! Some Seals of the Crusader have been released for prior submission and participating in the Dark Crusades, so congratulations to all who received those!
