..::Bow::..

Welcome,

This is my fifth report as Consul.

Since my last report, we saw some changes in the Clan.

First the monthly evaluation awards were handed out, as well as the monthly competition awards. Congratulations to everyone who was able to grab an awrd in the competitions. And congratulations to your evaluation awards, for your activity and dedication in this Clan.

There were also some roster changes. GM Nocturnus has left us, being declared AWOL, because of no communication or activity over a whole year. But on the bright side there are two new members on the roster.

Once NOV Xather Rynn, who returned from the rouges to us and NOV Keth Aalith, a new member, who wants to follow the Dark Side. Welcome both of you! May your way be successful.
 

Let's look at our current status and the awards.

Defenders of Aurora Prime - 2017: (entire DB including Dark Council / hosted by COM/SW Silvius)

After our multiplayer activities noticeable increased over the last weeks, I think it is time to start a competition for it again. Every end of the month all awarded Clusters of Fire will sum-up. The crucial factor will be the tracking spreadsheet of the MAA, CON and P:GM of Clan Drakonan. All Dark Brotherhood multiplayer approved games for earning Clusters of Fire will count for this competition.
Screenshots for CoF approval have to be send to the MAA of the DB and the CON and the P:GM of Clan Drakonan.
Good hunting!

Awards:
1st place Crescent with Amethyst Star
2nd place Crescent with Sapphire Star
3rd place Crescent with Emerald Star

The winner will be awarded additional with a Kaiburr Star.

End Date: December 31, 2017
