Dark Brotherhood
Report #49
6.20.2005 - AD Gelton Torr
Greetings
This is Grand Master Report #49, dating 19.06.2005.
This is a very special report and date for me. Today a year ago GA Ronin and GA Astatine entrusted me with the leadership of the Dark Brotherhood. In other words this is my first anniversary as Grand Master. Now some may say "wait a minute this is only report #49 not #52" Yes this is true but I skipped 3 report due to leave during the year. So that gives me a 94% ratio of submitted reports. Not perfect but not bad either. Who ever thought I am now launching into an extensive speech about my deeds of the past year, I have to disappoint I am not that kind of guy :P
I had planned to anounce and hand over a lot of new things today to the DB, but fate decided otherwise and all my planning was made undone. But there are chances that you will still see all those things happening within the next week or the near future. Details about those and some other stuff below:
1. As most probably of you already read in various places the vendetta has been delayed due to requested last minute changes. We are hard at work to adress those and finally being able to release this long promised vendetta.
2. The new updated DSC edition is basically comeplete. Only some layout cosmetics and a final typo sweep as to be done. Once those are done and I have news about another matters that influence the content of the new DSC I will show it to the EH High Command for review and approval.
3. The latest edition of the "Dark Sentinel" or in other more plain words the EH Newsletter #107 is out! Go read it, there is a link to it off the TC Site. Congrats to Khadgar who got FA for this great piece of work amongst other things.
4. The DGM, the CHAN and the HRLD are currently discussing and swapping designs concerning a medal. Once they have agreed on one design (if they ever agree :P) I will relay the whole matter to the powers above me.
5. To come back to the beginning of this report, I pondered a lot in the past days how I did as Grand Master in the past year. Did I accomplish enough? Did I turn out as you all had hoped a year ago? I did I lead the DB well or did I lack leadership? I tried to answer those questions for myself but as usual in such matters one stands just too close to such things to find a good answer.
That is where you all come in. I would like you to write a review about me and send it in. Tell me, what you think I did in the past yeat, what I could have done better and what you hope or would like to see done by me in my second year as Grand Master. All those thoughts will help me to see where I am standing currently and what I could do in the future to better the Dark Brotherhood. Everyone is invited from the DC all the way down to the rank and file clan members to give me their view. You can voice your honest opinion - there will not be any repercussions if you say critical or negative things about me.Especially those are most often most helpful. I am looking forward to your mails.
That ends my report and with its conclusion I embark on my second year as Grand Master.
