Dark Greetings and Sithutations!

GM Hades' personal computer was the victim of a cowardly Jedi attack, disabling this vital system and disrupting the smooth judging of our recently-completed Black Rock Run On.  To discourage further attacks on our command and control systems I'm placing a bounty of 50,000 Imperial Credits on every Jedi and Jedi sympathizer in the galaxy.  Wipe them out.  All of them.

DJK Kaisin Mirtez triumphed in DB Trivia this week, overcoming some stiff competition to reclaim the title.  Great work!

DIE Beta Testing!

This is for real!  We’re just a few test matches away from deploying the revamped Dueling Institute of Eos system.  Every duel victory earns a Cluster of Fire.  KAP Luna, KAP Xantros, DJK Mirtez, DJK Uhlahn, and GRD Cirith graciously volunteered to help craft a new activity and award opportunity for all our members.  Please thank them!

Promotions!

It was never formally announced, but our beloved Quaestor was promoted to Krath Pontifex a few weeks ago.  In addition to some Force Ghost powers, he’s also got the Drain Life ability.  Be nice or he’ll suck the life right out of you! 

“One!  One new Pontifex!  Ah-ah-ah!”

Want a place in the top two spots?  It’s easy!  Each flown mission (X-wing, TIE, XvT, or XWA), a Message Board post, participating in a contest (like DB Trivia!), a graphic, or one page of fiction, or one poem all count as 1 point!  Winning a contest counts as 2 points!  Only 19 pts separate 1^st from 5^th, so take advantage of these last 11 days and claim your victory!

Until next week, Keep it Sithy.
