Odan-Urr Proconsul Report - November 2016: Clan Title Nominations Open!

Placeholder Report Graphics, Coming soon.

Greetings Odanites and welcome to my inaugural report as your Proconsul, usually I would have made an introductory report upon taking the position, however it seemed more efficient to put a short introduction to myself in the previous Consul report found here rather than flood you guys with two reports, especially when one would have simply been for the purpose of an introduction anyway. Right, lots of stuff going on at the moment as i’m sure you’re all aware, ranging from ACC Tournaments and Possessions Beta all the way to the last few days of our Odan-Urr Anniversary competitions. So let’s get into it.

Report Graphics

As you may have noticed already, my report lacks any graphics; Usually when a member takes a position they fill out a form for the Herald office who then make some graphics for them. However, our lovely Herald has informed me that I could get a member to make the graphics for me and in doing that they will be able to awarded Clusters of Graphite for their work. So consider this a call to arms for those of you who enjoy the graphical side of things, I will be looking to have someone create these report graphics. Naturally I can’t have everyone make some, so instead I will be looking for interested parties to either e-mail me or PM me on telegram and from there we can get started - first come first serve on this people, so let’s make something pretty!


Art Feature

Alora

I am still unsure if featuring art is something I will do in each of my reports let me know if it's something you'd like me to do. This piece was something I had to show everyone, it was commissioned by A’lora and created by Xelandra, a talented artist that A’lora rates very highly and has commissioned multiple times!

Councillor of Urr Nominations

It is that time of year when we celebrate the founding of Odan-Urr and as many of you surely know, during that time the titleholders of the Clan come together to vote on members of Odan-Urr that have been nominated by their fellow Clansmen to become the newest holders of the ‘Councillor of Urr’ title. As such we will be opening nominations for this honour the second this report goes live and the nomination period will run until Wednesday 23rd November, after which the current title holders will carefully consider each nominee. A form has been created and will be linked at the bottom of this section, the form requires you to fill out your own Dossier number and name before your nomination, there will also be an optional section for you to fill out if you wish giving reasons behind the member you’ve nominated.

I will directly quote the Councillors of Urr Wiki pages summary of what a Councillor of Urr in the hopes that it may assist you in deciding who to nominate, should you wish to find out exactly who already holds the title please follow the above link to the wiki page for a list:

The Councillors of Urr are Clan Odan-Urr's governing body. They are all prominent members of the Clan whose influence has shaped and defined its very existence. These individuals hold great responsibility and great influence with the Clan, shaping its course and indeed its very future through their wisdom. They act as a permanent advisory body to the Consul and the Summit.”

Think about your nominations carefully as you will only be able to nominate one member and there is to be no self-nominating.

Wot I do

I wanted to make a (relatively) short section just to keep you guys in the loop with things that I am working on in the Clan so that you know what to look out for, what we’re looking at and to invoke any thoughts you may wish to raise with Summit members regarding these things - for the most part this section will be reserved for things that are merely in the ideas stage, anything already well into development will usually have some form of announcement focused on that event. Firstly, as you can see above I have prepared the Clan title nominations and have (hopefully) set that up to run smoothly, meaning that we should be able to announce our new titleholders as soon as possible after the nominating period ends, with that in mind we would hope that the announcement can be reported well before the end of the month, and for those of you who have aspirations to work toward becoming a recipient of a Clan title, look to go above and beyond and help the Clan in anyway you can!

In the non-title section, myself and our Rollmaster, Corvus Corax have been working together developing ideas for Kiast, mostly the planet and not as much the system. But at the moment our primary focus is on developing certain ‘areas’ of Kiast, including places for our more rugged Han Solo-esque characters to use in their fictions and to give their more opportunities and things to do in the system, gambling, drinking and all that stuff that space cowboys tend to do. Furthermore we are also looking into the Quorahi, a political faction who already have some ground laid out in the wiki page, as a major political faction of less fortunate sky nomads, they function as the working class of Kiast - we Summiteers feel that there's more to explore with the Quorahi and we hope to develop them further over the coming months. However it should be noted that these are very much in the rough ideas phase and are thing that I will be able to discuss in more detail at a later date!

Also, in my spare time I like to root out and dispatch the heretics known as the Inquisitorius.

Usually something different

Normally I would have run a classic #AskThePCon in Telegram, however for this report I really didn’t want to detract too much from the Clan title nominations. It is quite an important deal and I would much prefer that everyone gets the chance to nominate a member that they feel is deserving of the award. As such, Instead of a Q&A section I have temporarily replaced it with a section explaining why I haven’t done one. I am sure that you all will get a modicum of enjoyment out of thinking up a question to ask me and then asking it to me on telegram anyway!

Seeing as this section is temporarily lacking in value, i’ll relink the Nomination Form


Final notes

Hey guys, just to close I wanted to say that I’m super happy to be back in Odan-Urr and serving as your Proconsul and I look forward to what we do in the future, also everyone post in the Anniversary RO, I will be making my own post very soon(™).
