Tarentum RM Report #4 - I ask but never answer
A report where the title is riddling and the information inside is even more confusing. Welcome to my fourth Rollmaster report. Enjoy!
The RM Office
Lots of things to report since my last report. The most important thing is that our Novitiate and Jourmen got either a promotion or a medal. Some of them got a merit reward which eventually helped them towards the next rank. Most medals were earned by doing extra work outside the promotion guidelines, mostly by participating in competitions and extra SA exams.
In the past two weeks I've been on vacation and traveling a lot so I haven't had time to talk to you guys as much but the vacation in over and you'll be hearing from me as usual. Expect some emails in your inbox. :)
The RM Office is also happy to see the new Test of Identity in effect. This will add an extra filter for the new members but the additions to our ranks will surely be stronger. I can't wait to see the results.

blackhawk, Mark Entropik and Mei'ka as our first and only Mercenary at the moment.

MVP
With the new order and class changes, I'm removing the Journeyman of the Report section and instating the Most Valuable Player of the Month, because, as you may know, Journeymen play the hardest game in the Brotherhood and they are the biggest demographic in the clan and club. It will be based on points system that rewards activity in competitions and SA courses and will be rewarded somehow. I will be posting the details in the next days along with the MVP of September.
Competitions
RM Report Puzzle #3: the answer for the last puzzle was "slain -> snail" amd the fastest one to answer was Pel, followed by Ranarr and Dazta. Congratulations to them! I'm glad to say that they're awards have been bumped up to third level Crescents because of the high participation (10+). So thumbs up for the participants and I hope ten is as low as it gets from now on. Heads up for the new fourth puzzle.
Six Degrees of Star Wars is another competitions I'd like to run monthly. It is basically a wookipedia scavenger hunt for articles you can link so that you find the shortest connections for the given characters. Kinda like Six degrees of Kevin Bacon. Good luck!
Other competitions you might find interesting are:
Diablo 3: Season 4 Greater Rift Ladder (Seasonal Characters)
Diablo 3: Season 4 Greater Rift Ladder (Non-Seasonal Characters)
Star Wars Commander: Tatooine: Conflict at Boonta Eve (Apple, Android, and Windows)
Final Thoughts
I'd like to congratulate everyone on their promotions and awards but also on the great work in the Shadow Academy. Keep up the good work guys and girls!
This is is for my fourth report. I hope you enjoyed it. As always my email inbox is always open and I'm available on Telegram and sometimes on IRC. Look out for the new MVP announcement and some status updates emails from me.

I always look forward to a RM-'frostystyle'-report, to jump in and look for the riddle. And it's always great to search for it in a list of amazingly actif members. Nice!
Thanks Ranarr!
