Cyclone Kabal News
=========================
Only one thing:
A new system of AWOL Checking is in place. Basically, in every report,
at the Squad Roster listing, there will be a number next to your name.
A "1" means you were active and I heard from you. For every week after
that I don't hear from you, it will go from "2" to "4." Once it hits
"5," you are declared AWOL! Everyone will start with a "1." Activity is
either getting credits for stuff, e-mailing me, or posting on the
message board. Also, any activities done, please CC me so I know to give you
credit.
============================
Squad Roster
============================
1-MSTR Orin Williamson
1-ASAN Korathen
1-VEN Coranel Both
1-VEN Holu Tatsumi
1-JRNY Talon "NemesiS" Karrde
1-ASST Darth Shadow
1-ASST Iceman
1-MRC Ex Machina

REMINDER TO KATANA BLADE: Don't forget to take the BHG Core Exam. With
it, you achieve Hunter status, and can rake in the big bucks with the
KAGs!!! Buy a ship as soon as you can, and along with your Exam, you can
receive Hunter status.
Regards,
Venator Coranel Both
VEN/Coranel Both/Cyclone/BHG -H
WORDS FROM THE CRA:
- "I'm loving our KAG signups. We look to be off with a good start this
KAG. And I have a crowbar and pepper spray for anyone that DNPs. Is
also a wonderful time for the KAGs to start. Big paper is due the day
before they start so my brain won't implode at the thought of both that and
fict."
GENERAL COMMENTS:
- I currently don't have the time to add some comments, but I'll
definitely be sending out e-mails these next few days! Must prepare for the
KAGs!!!
But before I go... I must say one thing... Cyclone's activity level is
OUTSTANDING! Way to go!
That's all for this week!

when they need it.
New Hunters:
The Hunter_420_6969
Drakonis
Thran
Bounty Hunter B
darkblade
Pharazon
Welcome to all of those new trainees.
There are no new promotions this week.
Activities:
- Daichi PKAGs are going on. Graphics was due yesterday, and no one
submitted anything. PKAGs end Saturday.
- BHG KAGs signup are close to ending. Go Sign Up! I'm disappointed in
all of you slackers who just sit there and send in your monthly AWOL
Check and that's it. You're here to participate and actually do things.
Sign up for KAGs and maybe we could actually win.
- Daichi Activities are up on the main site. http://daichi.thebhg.org
- KA Hunts: http://ka.thebhg.org
Mentoring:
There is a new month of mentoring starting soon. If you'd like to
mentor a trainee, and be paid for doing it, let me know and I'll set you up
with a mentoree. Must be VEN or above to mentor. 50k a month and a
bonus if you do an outstanding job.
Here's what's left for PKAGS:
Thursday (today): Hunt the Hunter Due
Friday: Trivia, URL Hunt, Web Hunt Due
Saturday: Codebreak, Scenario Due
Sunday: totals and winners announce via e-mail
That's all for this week. Meeting log can be found at http://cernun.net

Welcome to the Weekly Report. Enjoy your stay, and
have a nice day.

---Kabal News---
Congrats to the following, who were promoted this
week!
ASAN/F`lar Tyre-al Nobriga
BLD/Lanon Cahligan
ASST/silent
---New KAG Rules---
Everyone make sure to read these before participating!
There are new rules and responsibilities for all
participants.
The newest version can be found at
http://www.geocities.com/hunter_archaia/ka.html
If you would like a copy emailed to you, just drop me
a line.
---Mentoring---
With a few changes due to retirees, there are a few
new mentor pairings.
I am now altering the mentor system. If you do not
wish to be a mentor, please email me, and you will be
removed from the system, however, if the Underlord
agrees to my request, all mentors will be given a
small fee every month (hopefully around 50,000ICs) for
their 'troubles'. A hunter may only receive the fee
if they send at least one email to their mentoree (and
me) every week (aka, 4 emails total for 50,000ICs, and
possible bonuses if you're 'really' good).
This is *not* effective immediately, but I do suggest
that you continue to email your mentorees while those
who do not wish to be mentors email me.
Mentor- Mentee (* = change)
Archaia Tyche - Darek Raluten
Deathnor - Solic Massp, Nyk'chendhe
Xerokine Ryuujin - dvsniper, Timothy Longnecker
Kali- Tavi, Nugget316
Chabaol - Gilkane Satal, FalcoFireJett
Jodo Kast - Trex, ZO'OR
Slagar the Cruel - *Cyrus*

---CH News---
KAGs are coming up in a hurry. I expect we'll do
well, if we get more activity. I realize this is a
hard time of the year, it's that way for me too, but
Dragon can show the other kabals that we aren't the
lazy, inactive hunters they 'may' assume we are.
I know we can excell, so I want to see some more
participation!
This is also a forwarning about an AWOL check (*Don't
reply to me for the check yet!!!*) and I will be
asking for a list of what you have or have not done in
the past several months. Credible excuses may pass,
but don't you think *you* could be doing a little
more?
KAGs are a great way to earn easy credits, so lets see
some action!
Other than KAGs, I'd say, you should be participating
in the Dragon Kabal RO, joining me and your fellow
hunters in #dragon_kabal in IRC as well as reading the
MB for reports and updates and general inanity.
---Kabal Activities---
http://www.geocities.com/hunter_archaia/activities.html
Go earn credits! We all want to be BRNs!
There is Fiction, URL Hunt, Web Hunt, Trivia, and
Comics. Also, if you aren't satisfied with the
activities provided, you too can contribute. Email me
with your submissions and new activities!
---Trivia---
15,000ICs go to J'nan for creating the Trivia.
20,000ICs go to Cassandra Jeth for getting the most
answers right.
10,000ICs go to Nyk for getting some answers right.
Congrats!

Thunder Kabal (Submitted By CH Aonin)
Before I proceed with this week's report, I must inform you that RL
issues have
forced me to declare a Leave of Absence from the BHG.
My leave will begin as soon as the TH Games are over. I had intended to
publish
the final scores on Thursday, but because of some issues during grading
I am
shooting for a Sunday night release. My apologies. Credits and medals
will be
awarded at the same time, and then I will step down.
I will be gone until 18 May, when I return from the Intel Science and
Engineering Fair in Louisville, Kentucky. Incidentally, 18 May is the
end of
the Kabal Authority Games... which means I won't be able to
participate. I
know, I know. All I can do is now is encourage you - one last time - to
finish
registrations. We currently have 141 enrollments - the most of any
Kabal in ANY
season - and that means we must send in 141 submissions. DNPs will hurt
us and
will hurt you. Just do your best.
In my absence, Dalk Darklighter (DWalkerJr3@aol.com) will fill in as
Chief.
Wais "Krail Darkblade" Lhander (kilts_r_us@hotmail.com) will serve as
Chief's
Assistant. Contact them if you need assistance.
Again, I apologize for this turn of events.
And now, here's AAMS "Solipse" Aonin with this week's edition of the
Bluestorm
Weekly News.
