Ahoyhoy

Welp, I’m your new RM and you are all doomed. DOOMED!

Ok, now that we got that out of the way, let’s begin. First, I am Xolarin and I’ve been around for over 4 years and I’ve been a part of several Clans. I’ve done quite a few things over the years, but these days I mostly dig hanging out with all you nerds.

Blah blah, many of you have known me for a while. What I SHOULD be saying is what I have planned for this resurrected position in Taldryan. There are two areas I hope to focus on in my tenure here: member recruitment and retention, and general administrative assistance to the summit. So I hope to help run comps and vendettas and do reports akin to this one. But more importantly, I hope to be trying for some outreach, general “advertising”, and just trying to link up newcomers or members who aren’t sure where to go next.

So, always follow the chain of command or master/student relationships. BUT, I am here for you. And I hope as a team (read: clan) we can continue to grow our little neck of the woods in TAL.

I hope to report out on recruiting efforts in the future, but for now we’ll just point out how awesome TAL people are.

Glory and Honor

I LOVE doing this in my reports, going all the way back to my earliest BTL/AED days. I basically get the numbers for: promotions, awards, competitions, SA work, news, and ACC. Some things (like PvE or Words of Fiction) are built into the awards so I don’t always double up.

Thus, here are some recent goings-on of our Clan Taldryan members. Since I don’t have a prior report to go back to, we’ll cover from September 1st until this report date (which may include some Probowl awards).

Ask ProfX

So I did a thing with #profx and here’s what you all wanted to know.

What are your most immediate plans for Rollmaster and Tal at large? What are your future plans? -Zxyl

See above. And future plans will involve multiple take-over plots which I cannot divulge yet. Suffice it to say, I’m here for the members and the summit - let’s get some newcomers and keep folks engaged, and let me know if you have ideas!

Would you rather fight 1 horse sized duck, or 100 duck sized horses? -Zentru’la

Do you liek mudkipz? -Zxyl

I spel gud 2. But I always had a thing for Squirtle?
