To whom it may concern:

Jedi Hunter Landon Cruise has been an incredible member since he came to Scholae Palatinae. And today, I am pleased to say, his Knighting Trials are at an end. Landon has reached out, brought friends to the club, called back old members, and been a constant example of what having a winning attitude is like. He has ran three different DJB wide gaming competitions. He has participated in 34 different competitions, including all of the Phase 1 GJW events, AND was the first one in HSP done with the multimedia event. He has been a regular on both IRC and the House Mailing List, energizing hyping up activity. He has made it to the SA Society Rank V, with three mavens and one savant. He has also made it to GMRG Rank VI, having earned 763 CFs and 5 PoBs. He has placed in multiple competitions, earning an array of Crescents ranging from Emerald Stars all the way up to Diamond Stars. His super star attitude and great efforts to help the House also earned him a Steel Cross.

Cruise has been a dominate force in HSP since he arrived, and one I am very excited to see just how far he goes. Congratulations Cruise. Drinks are on you!

Almost exactly two months ago Landon sent me a message over IRC. The two of us got to talking and found we both have a love of gaming. After a bit he asked if I would take him on as a Student as he went through his Journeyman Trials. Guiding him through the Journeyman ranks was a breeze, a few days after he reached the Jedi Hunter Rank I took a look at his activities only to realize that the only requirement he had left to reach Dark Jedi Knight was related to time in rank! Cruise has simply blown through any obstacle set before him and continues to seek out greater challenges.

It's been a pleasure getting to know him over this time and to help him (albeit he didn't need much help) along to reach Dark Jedi Knight. Of course, I'm sure that our email discussions are far from over. And Landon still needs to teach me about how to properly pilot a ship in Star Conflict. Congratulations on taking this final step in the Journeyman Ranks Cruise! Keep up all the great work you've been doing and keep your positive attitude! Well done!

Seeing Cruise's contributions on the House mailing list, on IRC, seeing his positive contributing attitude and knowing that he had Valhavoc as his Master, there was no time during his path to Dark Jedi Knight that I had to wonder how things were going.

If anything, he has helped foster a gaming community within the House that I hope to see grow into the future, and he's encouraged me to be part of it with the time I can dedicate. There are a lot of great things planned in the future for Scholae Palatinae, and it's great to have members like Cruise around to be part of them helping make things more awesome for everyone.

Congratulations on DJK. See you on the battlefield!
