Tarentum Rollmaster Report #3

This is where ordinarily you'd see a short little piece of fiction. However, I got engaged last night, so my brain is only half with it. Apologies, I'll do double the fiction next month. :)


Welcome!

Howdy Tarentum! We're a-rockin' and a-rollin', and if you can't feel that Tarentum Momentum at this point then you need to get your head checked. It's been a great month in the House and one that will only continue. Tar's in the best place it's been in since I joined it earlier this year and it's due to the efforts of all of us. It's clear we want our Clanhood back, now we just need to keep it up and show the DC we deserve it.

House News

  • There are a bunch of competitions going on right now - I've got a caption contest that runs until the 22nd - but the biggest and most important thing doing right now is the final part of Fading Light: Nicht Ka. There's a fiction, gfx, puzzle, gaming, and trivia section, and we need as many of you as possible to do as many of them as possible. A strong showing in this will get us in a good position to do well in the GJW at the beginning of next year, and a strong showing there... well, that would be a nice thing for scion to be able to tell the GM and DGM when we get the members to apply for Clanhood again, wouldn't you think? The competitions close out the 2nd of November, which is not that far away - participate in as many as you can, because our participation rate is important!

Member Spotlight

In my first report, I shined the RM spotlight on Rial, and if you look at his dossier and what he's accomplished this month, you'd understand why I'd be crazy not to do so again. The dude's an absolute beast when it comes to gaming. Just this month - and remember, this month isn't over - he's accrued 399 CFs and, most importantly, risen in rank in the GMRG to rank X. There are only 11 other members at rank X and only 9 members at the two ranks above them which, by my math, makes Rial one of the top 20 gamers in this entire club ever. The craziest part is, he's done this while serving as the BTL of Knights of Tau AND M:MAA. He's an incredible asset to Tarentum, and I know I speak for the entire Summit when I say that this guy is the real deal and we're proud he calls our little part of the DJB home.

I can't just spotlight one person though. One of our newest members deserves some attention as well. Jalen Ramz, who joined us Sept. 23rd, is also a gaming power house just like Rial. Since coming into Tar, he's earned himself a PoB and 41 CFs (he's got me beat by 4 CFs... and a PoB). Tar's always had some strong fiction writers, but it's so wonderful to see us break out of that mold and expand our expertise. This House has a lot of talent and it's beginning to get noticed.

Recruitment

On the Recruitment front, one of the things I've been working on the past month is beginning the process of creating our very own Master/Student Program and the various emails/etc. that accompany it and initial contacts with members. What does this have to do with recruitment, you might ask? Simple: once we get members, we need to keep members, and having a solid plan in place for what to do as soon as I get the notification that we've got a new member in our ranks is a part of that. Not the sole part, obviously, but it's certainly a part, and it's a part I want to be as polished as possible. It's my hope that by my next report I can show strong progress on this front.

Don't forget to be reaching out to friends you have, either in other online communities or in the real world, that might be interested in the DJB. Everybody loves SW (or should), so use that as a stepping stone!

Path to Knighthood

  • GRD Garloaf (Master: Raiju Kang)
  • GRD Jabis Ravenhawk (Master: Liam Torun)
  • PRT Shujiru Raunien (Master: Farrin Xies)
  • PRT Zero Raven (Master: TBD)
  • PRT Jalen Ramz (Master: Jaredi Edius) - Welcome to Jalen... see the member spotlight for how awesome this guy is!
  • APP DJB_Canderous (Master: n/a)

tl;dr

  • Last part of Fading Light is going - get to it!
  • Tar's got two kickass gamers in Rial and Jalen!
  • Talk to your friends, get them to join. Nerds unite (in Tarentum)!

Hehe there is 21 Members at GMRG X, I'm the 21st member to reach that level which is a pretty cool number to make it at lol. Will certainly be competing for one of DC Guarding Positions this quarter. Thanks for the mention Farrin I appreciate it a lot.

PS Congrats on the Engagement haha I forgot to put that in first comment. Hope it goes well for you.

Congrats Farrin! Tarentum Momentum!
