Family Business

Kill or Be Killed
- If no kills are made after the first four days and every 48 hours afterwards, the SPOON MASTER will randomly eliminate one assassin
- In other words, if the first kill isn't made by Friday 9:30pm, one of you will be promptly "taken care of" by email
- If no kills are made in 48 hours after that, more of you will be "missing".
Safe Zones

Access Restored Isaac is back at Duke and has temporarily "fixed" his Internet access problem until OIT can replace his ethernet jack. Updates that were put on hold due to access issues will be worked on once again.
Another Update Photo gallery software has been installed. Galleries are now accessible. The event calendar software is still undecided. The online project signup page beta and contact form pages are now *live*. Officer pages should be completed very soon.
Almost there... Most of the site is live and Isaac is working on getting everything else up and running. Photo galleries, interactive event calendar, the online project signup page and newsletter signup page are not *live* yet. Expect these features to come online over the next few days.
Site Mostly Complete Isaac is fine-tuning the design and is now working on migrating files and information from the old site to the new one. You can expect to see the site go live sometime in the coming week.
August Newsletter Available! August 2008 Newsletter available for download! We are very excited to welcome the incoming Duke freshmen!
New Domain Name DUCK has a new domain name! The new site should be accessible at www.dukecirclek.org within a few hours! You will be greeted with an "Under Construction" notice until the site is mostly complete.
Webhosting Secured Isaac has purchased webhosting space and bandwidth and will allocate a portion of it to the new, improved Duke University Circle K website.
