GM Report # 4 (2003-05-23)

This report was submitted by GM Rapier


Hello all,

As you've probably seen by now, Clans Naga Sadow and Taldryan have been temporarily closed to membership due to low member counts. They have been integrated into Clans CSK and Arcona respectively. Hopefully this will only be for a short while as membership is again on the rise.

A new HeadMaster is still being sought but one should be appointed before the end of the long holiday weekend so if your interested you need to get an app in to myself and DGM Darkov as soon as you can.

From the Office of the DGM

Second draft of the revisions to the Vendettas is underway, translation into plain English is commencing and will try and explain each part in detail in the one document this time.

Work has begun on the websites for the vendettas, this is causing a few headaches due to having to learn new fancy ways of coding things, luckily just before writing this I had a major breakthrough and should be able to proceed without any further learning barriers. Hopefully the code and database will be versatile enough that it will last for multiple competitions without the need to recode it anywhere.

Competition approval form is up on my website. Not a lot else really, looking into new activities for the membership amongst other minor things, but my main effort is getting things up and ready for a GJW to start, hopefully at the beginning of July, give or take a couple of weeks.

From the Office of the CHAN

The Chancellor website is completed and can be found at http://chan.minos.net/. I'm probably going to alter the design a little bit though, so that will be done over the next couple days. The Medal Guide has been completely revised and has been sent to you lot for review. So far, I've only heard from Reb Crush and Darkov on it. I'd really like to hear what everyone has to say about it, but if you don't say anything I assume you're happy with what I've written.

I've continued to add in medals to profiles, as well as address several medal recommendations. Gelton Torr and Kethoron continue to work on the new medal images, and Gelton has informed me that Kethoron is experiencing a little real life turmoil at the moment, so production is slightly slow. So far, the following medals are done:

Golden Lightsaber
Emerald Dagger
Ruby Scepter
Sapphire Blade
Grand Cross
Steel Cross (and upgrades)
Star of Eos (with Quills upgrade)
Dark Cross
Bronze Nova (no upgrades)
Silver Nova (no upgrades)
Gold Nova (Grand Planetary cluster)

For all the unfinished medals, all of the concept art is competed
and just awaits computer rendition. Hopefully we will see the medals
completely finished by the end of June at the latest. That's all from my office.


From the office of the Obelisk High Commander

After finishing the Obelisk site (http://obelisk.minos.net) I've begun work on the Obelisk Field Manual. So far I'm just gathering pics and stats, and I will make a site design and then plug in all the content later. Should be finished over the weekend.

I'm also going to finish the 'Obelisk Tome' that was started by OHC
Khaland but never really worked on. It's basically a history of the Obelisk, more detailed than past attempts. So far I have some excellent stuff from old Dark Voices, and a complete OHC/CoG history list, with dates of office.

Other than that, I have been establishing communication with the
Obelisk Summits, and will be forming the 'Obelisk War Council' yahoogroup soon for discussion amongst the leaders.

As always, the MP comps are running in #kaiburr, and participation has risen over the past week or so, a very encouraging sign.

That's all from me, whew, but check out my report tomorrow because I
may have some extra news in there.

From the office of the Krath High Priest

1. As Rapier said, Unity's come to an end. And with a whopping 4 submissions at that. :P

2. Awards will be requested for that as soon as Rapsicle gets me his opinion back *hint-hint-nudge*

3. Little word on the site yet, only that Knight is working on it and should have a sample page for me up soon.

4. Competition planner
A. Secure GJW awards for all the good little Krath boys and girls.
B. Run-on (Summary: Krath investigate ancient Sith temple,
blah blah blah, find artifacts, kill jedi, get possessed by
ancient sith lords, blah blah blah)
C. Krath Poetry Competition
D. Research Krath Monthly Topics
E. Contemplate revival of Krath MML.
F. Begin research into possible avenues of Krath involvement in
the next GJW/Vendetta/RoS/Thingy :P

That pretty much sums it up for me. As always, any thoughts, comments, ideas, criticism, or bribes are highly welcome. Especially bribes. :P

Well, thats looks like all for this week

Talk to you all online
