Commission Reports
Underlord Tad
1. Type !get creds to be DCCed my text file of pending credits.
2. Those waiting on their Chief exam to be graded: expect your results
by Sunday.
Judicator Ehart
1) Cadre Games 4 has just started. The first event was sent out
yesterday. There are 4 Cadres in this season, and there are a few strong
contenders. Who will come first? Well that's what we are all going to find
out.
2) All CG info can be seen on the MB. The first post will include the
time table and a list of all the CG's competitors.
3) The KA betting book opens up for all bets on the CG. Every bet will
be for even money. No odds involved. You can wager up to 500K on a
Cadre. If that Cadre wins you win... If they lose then you lose your IC's
and I use them for my next vacation :) You can also bet on which Cadre
will win a particular events. A maximum of 100K per event and this will
pay 2to1.
4) If you want to place a bet email me (ehart@thebhg.org). I want to
see your ID line. Then which Cadre you are betting on overall and how
many IC's on them. If you want to bet on an event, use the same email and
just name the event and which Cadre you think will win and the IC
amount. If you miss out any of that info, or do it incorrectly, your bet
will be void. Also you can only bet what you have on roster.
5) If you are in the CG then you are not allowed to take part. Cant
have any of you throwing the event now can we >:(
6) The new KA site is coming along in leaps and bounds. Tad is working
really hard on it. I actually think it's nearly done.
7) New KA hunts will be posted once the new hunt set up on the KA site
is finished. I'm sorry you have all had to wait a while for the current
ones to be graded but with any luck it wont be much longer.
8) Well that's all for today.
Happy hunting... E
Executor War
1. If you want something in the Newletter, get it to me by next Friday.
Anything after Friday will go into the next issue. I am hurting bad on
articles and columns, so send em to warcomps@hotmail.com
Proctor Zedder
1) Go Porky! Porky Cadre is going to dominate, for
sure. We've got some good veterans, and some fresh
talent. Watch out for us.
2) I'm not accepting anymore KA Hunts as of now(now
being 8:30pm Thursday). This is so I can have a
reasonable amount of entries to grade and not a
billion when I get around to them:P
Adjunct Gaea
1) I will start accepting new character sheets as soon
as the new submission form is up. Until then, if anyone would like to
look at the new character sheet, it's at the AJ's office at
adjunct.thebhg.org Comments, criticism, and questions would be appriciated, so I
can start improving things.
2) From now on, hunters will only be able to use weapons they own on
the KIW in Arena. So go buy your weapons!

SQUAD REPORTS:
*********************
Cylclone Squad Alpha
Weekly Report #1
April 3, 2001
*********************
Greetings Squad Alpha,
-->News
==
Pretty much in suit with everyone else, I'm running some squad wide
competitions to get us up and rolling. They will be as follows.
*Motto*
We need a Squad Motto, send your suggestions to me by April 10 so that
I can include the new one in my next report. Prizes will include 20,000
ICs for first 10,000 ICs for runner-up, and 5,000 ICs for Honorable
Mention.
*Logo*
Next we need a Squad Logo, as before send any entries my way by April
24 for judging. This competition will include a 30,000 IC prize for the
winner and 5,000 ICs for any other entries.
*Web Page*
Finally... I am currently working on a page for the Squad, but I have
no doubt there are any number of people who can out-do me, so please
send in some examples. The competition will run until May 1 but may be
extended depending on entries. It will sport a 50,000 ICs prize for first
and a 15,000 IC prize for a good entry.
==
Next, I have plans for a squad-wide activity resembling something of a
Scramble type scenario. I'm still working out all of the kinks, but
you'll all be the first to hear about it when I've got it finished. If
anyone has any suggestions about a possible story line or setting they'd
like to see, let me know.

JRNY/Coranel Both/Cyclone/BHG -H
---------------------------------------------------
WORDS FROM THE CRA:
- New Training Activities and an Cyclone Online Mission (!!!) are on
their way! This along with new ideas for KAG policies and a rigorous
battle in the upcoming Cadre Games. :-)
---------------------------------------------------
GENERAL COMMENTS:
- I'm definitely glad to see that things are going well with the Squads
now. It's also GREAT seeing a Trainee, who hasn't even been here a
week, pass the BHG Core Exam and receive a promotion! Way to go! Now we
just need the rest of the Trainees to do the same :-)
Now that the Kabal reports are getting a little more lengthy and
jumbled, I'm going to start putting them in HTML format. However, I will
still send it in Text format for those whose e-mail doesn't support HTML.
Both the TXT and HTML versions will be posted in the Library on the
Kabal web site [http://cyclone.thebhg.org/]. I'll be converting the older
reports into HTML, too.
Once again, I am very excited about our current course! Things are
looking well! Don't forget that there are ALWAYS activities for you to do
at the Training Area of the web site! They earn you credits, which means
higher rank!
And a quick reminder to Trainees: Once you pass the Core Exam, the only
thing you have to do before becoming a Hunter is purchase a ship at
Stalker Shipyards, Ltd. [http://ssl.thebhg.org]
That's all for this week!
Daichi Kabal (Submitted by CH Astaroth "Xylocaine" Mudo)
Hunters-
Once again, it's time for the weekly report. We have a few exciting
things going on. Just a little 'heads up', I will be on leave
Friday-Sunday. I should be back Sunday night. Bobecc is in charge while I'm gone. I
will also be on leave next week, from Wednesday - Sunday. If I can get
only with my laptop from where I'll be, I will try to check my mail.
Bobecc will also be in charge then as well.
First up, Promotions!
No promotions this week. Go Participate in hunts and activities, and
then there will be. =)
Daichi News:
- New Activities are posted at: http://daichi.thebhg.org on the
Activities page. Go do them!
- PKAGs are coming up. If you don't know what they are, I shall
explain. They are mini KAGs within Daichi. Most of the same activities will
be done. By doing this, you will be more prepared for KAGs and Daichi
could quite possibly come in first. It's up to you hunters. Do Daichi
Proud.
- AWOL Check going on right now. Deadline for sending me your FULL ID
line without medals is April 15th. I will send a reminder e-mail on
Monday.
- Mentors and Mentorees need to e-mail me by Tuesday with their status.
I don't care if you haven't received a reply from the other person. I
need to know that.
- Bobecc and I will be collaborating on an OM just for Daichi, so look
out for that.
- Super secret mission that Timmay is finishing up should be unveiled
within a day or so. Watch out!
- Daichi RP Session is this weekend. See Xerxes' e-mail to you all for
more details.
BHG News:
- Cadre Games 4 coming soon.
- KA Hunts are back up. KA site almost complete.
Until next time, happy hunting.

Dragon Kabal (Submitted by CH Archaia Tyche)
Here t'is, another edition of the WR.
The inner-kabal RO is started Pro-AoC (w/o a name as
of now) against Ius Draconis.
My post will be going up after this message.
And while you are waiting between posts...
The next activity is to create an activity and send it
to me!
You get 40,000 Credits for doing so, and the enjoyment
of seeing your name on the Activities page!
Send both the Activity and the answers to me. The
activities can be everything, except Fiction and URL
hunt, as those are the ones I am doing (so, do a
Captions, or Web Hunt, or HTH... or something new,
like Trivia!)
Next on the agenda: We welcome dvsniper to Dragon
Kabal. His mentor is Xerokine. Welcome!
Also, Griffin has returned to the BHG, and Dragon, wb
Griff!
The Mentoring Topic on the MB has been updated, take a
look and don't forget to email your "partner" once a
week!

Kabal Total=39 Hunters=32 Trainees=4 Grand Hunters=1
Apparently, not much has happened in the BHG this past
week, so concentrate on that RO! :p

Skylla Kabal (Submitted by CH DK)
Another reasonably quiet week.
News:
1. New MB version out.
http://boards.thebhg.org/index.php?op=view&topic=2881 for details.
2. The Broken Link contest is over. Congrats to the following Skyllans.
Enjoy your rewards:
ASAN/WalkerBoh/Skylla/BHG -H 300K
JRNY/Baltazaur/Skylla/BHG -H 100K
BRN/Xanamis Thanatos Deadknife/Skylla/BHG-CH 1.35 Mil
JRNY/Paladorion Teranioklon Entar/Skylla/BHG -H 70K
3. Orin Williamson has asked me to pass the following on to you:
"Hey y'all...below is the URL to the MB topic "BHG Superlatives".
This is a way for the Hunters themselves to recognize the members they
feel deserve honoring, based on what they have accomplished in the past
year (April 1st, 2001 to April 1st, 2002). This is not related to the
Hall of Fame--that is reserved for people who have contributed greatly
over a long period of time to the BHG, and voting is done only by a
small group. The BHG Superlatives honor those who aren't in the HoF, and
everyone gets a say.
http://boards.thebhg.org/index.php?op=view&topic=2897 "
Skylla News:
1. Icarus is progressing nicely at the moment. Not much else to say.
2. For those who didn't know, we have a MB at
http://boards.thebhg.org/index.php?op=topics&board=11 .
Compared to most other Kabals, our MB is unused. Try to get there and
post, because it'll earn you ICs. Four PXers were awarded SE Raydods for
their MB activity - how about we give them a little competition?
3. Welcome to Yu Shu Lien, and congrats to VEN Paladorion Teranioklon
Entar on his promotion.
That's all for the week.
Thunder Kabal (Submitted By CH Aonin)
And now, here's AAMS "Solipse" Aonin with this week's edition of the
Bluestorm Weekly News.
Hey, folks. You might be wondering where I've been for the last week or
two; you might not. I do owe you an explanation, out of the goodness of
my heart.
I spent the entire weekend toiling in the Carolina heat working on an
engineering project for the regional science fair. I do not lie when I
say the entire weekend, either; my team and I were working up to the
very last minute before judging began... and then after.
Wisdom teeth pulled the next morning - having waken up an
indeterminable time later, I found a copy of JKII: Jedi Outcast next to my computer.
Between the drugs and the saber duels, I lost about forty hours of my
life. I highly recommend you try it. JKII, that is.
Right. That said, on with the news.
=-= HUNTERS COME, HUNTERS GONE
Newcomers to the Bluestorm include:
- Dragon Lord (Bdemosthenis14@hotmail.com)
- Gavin Strongarm (GavinStrongarm@aol.com)
- Mercury (mercury083@hotmail.com) and
- Flect (l123wes@aol.com).
TH is now 39 strong.
=-= UP THE LONG LADDER
Four promos... w00t. :)
- Dalk Darklighter, Journeyman
- GarDaa Bek, Blade
- Kuat, Blade
- Vlad BloodScream, Mercenary.
Also, congratulations to High Master Crix Talra, our new Specialist.
=-= MONEY, MONEY, MONEY
For Dalk Darklighter's first Codebreaker, Balkar receives 75K and
Brandl McCombs receives 50K. Yay. :)
=-= CONTRACTS
Thunder-Only
:: http://thunder.thebhg.org/contracts.html
As mentioned last week, the new Codebreaker lasts until 12 April, which
is one week from today. The OM ends today, 5 April, so if you haven't
already done it, do it. Do it. Do it. For the artistic, a stick-man
comic activity due at the end of the month.
KA Hunt Center
:: http://ka.thebhg.org/hunts/index.htm
Tactician's Online Missions
:: http://tactician.thebhg.org
=-= BHG MiSCELLANY
Season IV of the Cadre Games have begun.
A quick look at TH and the CG: Jernai is heading up the nefarious
Church of Slice. Brandl McCombs has joined with Zedder and company in Porky
Cadre; I'm curious to see how they do - hell, how everyone does against
the venerable Syndicate, which now has Krail as one of their members.
Place your bets, guys,
this season should be interesting.

BHG Superlative Awards.
Orin Williamson of Cyclone Kabal is calling for nominations for the
very-cool BHG Superlatives. He is not asking for your votes, he is asking
for nominations. You got that other mail, I'm sure, so I don't need to
go into details.
:: http://boards.thebhg.org/index.php?op=view&topic=2897
Project Hawkeye: The Aftermath.
You may have heard about it in the past three weeks, but if you're like
me, you had no real idea what it was. Apparently, it was a way-cool
EH-wide competition that the EH Internet Office supervised.
Unfortunately, it's over. In the end, the BHG only offered two agents - Tad Taliesin
and Cathleen Eilis - but don't fret! Hawkeye II is on the way, so look
out for it. I, for one, will try and find time for it.
:: http://www.ehnet.org/~hawkeye/after/
Well, that's that, folks. As always, a copy of this report will be made
available on the Kabal message board. If you've got any earthshattering
news to share with your Kabalmates, let us know, and it'll show up in
next week's edition of the Bluestorm Weekly News. Until then, this is
AAMS "Solipse" Aonin,
signing off.
Respectfully submitted,
Dark Prince Trench
