One of the coolest things about the Dark Jedi Brotherhood is the constancy and continuity of its community across the Clans, in that its foundations remain relatively unchanged over the years. This makes it easy for members to come in and out, their levels of activity varying appropriately with the demands of their real life situations, and the amount of leisure time that they have available to dedicate to our crazy little hobby. Sight is one of our members who has taken full advantage of the continuity of the Brotherhood community, finding himself welcomed into a new home in Arcona, fitting right back into the tapestry of new friends and old that sustains us.

Sight has been a true model of activity and personal leadership, representing one of the crucial ingredients of success in any Clan by being enthusiastic, friendly, and helpful toward all. He's the rare mid-level veteran who knows what he wants out of the club, and does what he enjoys, serving as an example to fellow members of what the organization is really about.

I'll cede the true cataloguing of his achievements to his Summit leaders, and instead thank Sight for being, above all, a friend. Leaders are commonly asked to walk a thin line between fluff and commendation in their promotion recommendations, but in Sight's case, I can say with conviction that his friendliness, on IRC particularly, makes Arcona a more fun place to be, improving the DB experience for everyone. That, ultimately, is what we should seek to award amongst our members -- activities and achievements that make the club more fun for all of us.

Congratulations, Sight, and thank you for the important contributions you provide to Arcona and the Brotherhood. It's been awesome getting to know you, and I look forward to continuing to do so.

Sight’s promotion to Knight took place while within the confines of House Odan Urr. There he was one of their most active members, constantly placing in competitions, assisting on projects and pushing others to learn more about the DB. He then decided to change things up a bit.

Since joining us from HOU, Sight has been a force to be reckoned with for some of our more tenured members. Dark Crosses, Crescents, CoFs and Pendants flood the inbox eachweek with his name attached to them. Every night you can find him gaming or offering insight to junior members on what they can do to get that next elevation or award, which is something to expect from an Equite. With his drive to 100% everything he does and his strong willingness to help others, there comes a time where you realize his own elevation is the only thing worthwhile.

I commend you for your efforts, Sight, and I look forward to seeing a great deal more from you in the future. Congratulations on this advancement within the ranks.

Welcome to the Equites.

Sight is an older soul to this club, but he comes back to join our ranks now as a whirlwind of exuberant energy. One of the first things he said to me was that he’d stayed up all night doing the coding courses in the SA, and I had to do a bit of a double take. Sight’s relentless. He earns savants, he games, he competes, all like crazy.

But he’s not just interested in himself. He constantly chats and interacts with his Battle team members and clanmates. He approached me personally expressing his longstanding wishes to be a mentor to others. Since then, we’ve set him up with a student, as our Quaestor can tell you, and it’s been nothing but brilliant. For being recently returned, Sight has been simply amazing. He deserves Equitehood, and more, for all his efforts. But for now, welcome, Sight. Congrats. You earned it.

I am honoured to be recommending Sight for his elevation to the rank of Equite One. Since his last promotion he has been an active and steady member of the Brotherhood as a whole. As well as making himself known inside of Clan Arcona and House Galeres helping not only boost activity inside the House but inside his Battleteam as well.

He has been a constant active gamer, making his presence known as well as helping others inside games, including doing mob killing inside of Diablo 3. Helping others get gear and always being talkative to those around him with the game. For all of this gaming work he has managed to earn himself an impressive 683 Clusters of fire. As well as four pendants of blood showing his dedication towards the gaming community as well as expanding his experience and knowledge of the Brotherhood.

His activity and passion for competitions has also helped him inside of the Brotherhood, managing to place in sixteen competitions. Earning himself a Crescent with Diamond Star, four Crescents with Amethyst Star, six with Emerald Star, two with Sapphire, two Topaz and one Quartz a very impressive list of medals considering the amount of work he has done for competitions. Participating in a total of 35 amount of competitions, keeping a steady drive and making sure that he participates in everything possible, having a steady level of activity inside of the club.

He has recently begun teaching his own student helping mentor someone up the Journeymen ranks. Developing another member inside of the Brotherhood and helping them understand the club and how it works. Showing his devotion not only to his developing himself but helping others develop themselves inside of the club. For all of his work he has also managed to take in three Dark Crosses, showing his drive.

I am proud to be writing this recommendation for Sight he has been a steady member inside of House Galeres. For all of his constant hard work and his drive he has shown he is ready to step up to the Equite Ranks. Congratulations on this elevation Sight, I look forward to seeing what you do in the future. Keep up the hard work.
