Fiction Update

Lucrehulk-Class Battleship Command Deck 40 ABY

Fennyl liked to think she was patient. It was a complete lie, and she knew it. Saying that, nobody was perfect. She knew that fact better than most. Mistakes happened. It wasn't always the fault of those under her boot.

However, the one thing she would not tolerate under any circumstances was cowardice, and insubordination. She licked her lips and rubbed her hands together in glee. She was going to enjoy this.

The rattling of chains entered the main deck, The Red Sun, her pride and joy, an old Lucrehulk-Class Battleship from back in the days of the Clone Wars. It was big, grand, and spectacular, just like her.

All work seemed to stop immediately as the would-be prisoner was dropped in front of her. The poor Rodian raised his head to meet Fennyl's golden gaze.

Introduction

Happy New Year to you all!

I hope the festive season has been good, and look at me, here I am topping it up with a report. I have some fun stuff to go over, and most of it is our upcoming Clan Event!

Clan Taldryan: Saijo Superweapon

The Event is upon us!

The Fiction Update is available for you all to read! Our enemies are an assortment of Pirates that have banded together in order to take over Saijo. However, they have a mysterious ally in the shadows providing them a weapon of untold destruction.

This, ladies and gents, is the reason for our interference. Destroy the weapon before it can be used against us!

As I've mentioned quite a few times before, there will be an RP alongside this event, similar to the way that we have done so in the past.

However, what makes this event different from others, is that YOU will have an impact based on your overall participation in the event. There a certain participation thresholds that can be met in order to influence certain things in both the RP, and the overall story.

As an example, the Prologue Puzzle comp that takes place before the event, states that the number of entries received will impact how much of our ground forces will be able to successfully land on Saijo.(Note, its number of entries, not how well you do. This is designed to be a team effort where showing up and doing the thing is what counts the most!)

The Prologue Puzzle can be SEEN HERE.

The Puzzle starts on the 3rd in just a couple of days with the main event starting on the 14th. The event will last roughly five weeks, and has two phases.

Each phase has five competitions, and there is an Event Long Bin for you guys to indulge in as well.

That parent competition can be VIEWED HERE.

I hope you guys have as much participating as myself and Teebu have had organising it!

XP System

If you read the most recent Grand Master Report, then you will likely know about the XP system ready to be implemented on the 15th of January. This is to make a system more objective and less subjective.

Aay'han asked me a question during #AskAppiusAnything that relates to this, and I'm going to show the answer that one here instead of further down.

• Aay'han Asks: How will XP work with non-trackable activities that contribute e.g proof reading and so on?

And James Answer!: Non site tracked stuff will end up contributing to medals, which, in turn, will count towards XP. Your summit has tools such as activity notes to keep track of those kind of things.

I'm looking forward to seeing how this gets implemented going forward! Especially for those in the Equites looking for those next promotions!

This Just In

Several members of the Dark Council have done end of year reports:

• Rian released his Report as well as a Supplemental!

• Arch released his Report, and is looking to hire a Praetor!

• Rajhin (Turel) released his Report going over the year in gaming within the club!

AskAppiusAnything

It's the New Year Edition of the Monthly tradition of #AskAppiusAnything! Let's hop right into it!

• Koda Asks: Do you feel judged?

By you? Always.

---

• Zentru’la Asks: If Appius could have any Pokémon from gen 1 which would it be?

If Appius could, it'd probably be Zapdos. I've written about him flying and shooting lightning sometimes. IRL me, gimme a Bulbasaur every day of the week.

---

• Liandry Asks: If Appius could go back in time and kill Pong Krell would he?

Indeed, he would.

---

• Archian Asks: Hello, so question to you. Do you like cats?*

I'm more of a dog person, honestly.

---

• Aylin Asks: Can Shi'Kar have a Convor?

If she's very, very good in Fort Malgrim, then we'll think about it.

---

• Celevon Asks: Do you like coins?

Shiny gold ones? Absolutely.

---

‐ Raistline Asks: What planet biome would you like to see in an upcoming Star Wars show?

Jungle. Like in the Force Unleashed, just have absolutely loads of peril and rancors at every turn.

Conclusion

That's it from me for now! Myself and Koda will be judging the Christmas comps over the next few days. Outside of that, I hope you all enjoy the event, and have a Happy New Year!
