Good evening Wardentons. Apologies for the delay - NFL took precedence. Surprise, surprise: I lost in both my fantasy pools this week. Again. I have a combined 1-5 record so far. Ugh.

Announcements

The house has had a number of new members join, so say hello to Altec, Serenla, and our very own Shadow Corran.

Speaking of Shadow Corran, he has just been promoted to Guardian! Congratulations!

Speaking of promotions (you see what I did there? Parallel structure FTW!), congratulations to Kooks on his promotion to Dark Jedi Knight!

Final round of ACC is on with Taldryan's own Aidan Kincaid (aka Shad) facing off against Timeros (aka - the guy who eliminated me). Halc and Yacks are squaring off for 3rd place.

The last event of Gathering Darkness is running for another 5 or 6 days (depending on when you read this), so get out your writing utensils and submit!

Competition Focus

This time we're going after a trivia competition that our very own Raistline has put together. The Return of the Return of the Taldryan Trivia #2 is quick and easy - you have another week or so to get it done.

Report Round-Up

Taldryan:

Yacks gives updates on Gathering Darkness and Fading Light. Yacks also put out a second report where he made the fatal flaw of not making any beard quote. Bad Yacks.

Ektrosis:

Dru put out an AED report and Halc put out a QUA report. The main theme is Gathering Darkness' final event.

DB-wide:

From the Headmaster, the SA has a couple new courses as well as some significantly updated old courses for your perusal. I've done the Obelisk, Sith, and GFX ones - they're all very good and the GFX one is about 10 minutes tops to do.

The DGM released his innaugural report in which he introduces himself and addresses Fading Light, the GJW, and updates us on Dark Council activity. He also announced the new Wiki Tribune, who has also put out a report already.

The new Voice, Mav of the Mavlets, put out a pair of reports. Mav talks about the introduction of the ELO system for ACC rankings, the introduction of a Fiction society, the idea of different ACC formats (warzones, unleashed, co-ops, and - most excitingly (for me) - dogfighting possibly!)

The Herald's report teases at upcoming GFX comps.

The GM's covers the Rogue Newsletter, DB Badges (think Achievements), and Possessions.

Finally, the Fist report covers D3 Brawling, CFs from Destiny, and Star Wars Commander now on Android.

Final Word

Another 2 weeks down and another flood of activity from you guys and gals. I'm glad of it! Keep it coming.

If you have any questions or ideas - email Raist and I, we're happy to help and listen.
