If you asked me who was the most enthusiastic member of Clan Plagueis, I would answer Brimstone without hesitation. If there is a competition going on, Brimstone will do it - probably before anyone else. If a report comes out, Brimstone will leave an encouraging message in the comments. If a member gets promoted or receives a medal, Brimstone is almost always the first person to congratulate them.

Brimstone has been a Sith Warrior for nearing on two years. During this time, he has done all the things. He participated in 83 competitions, including almost every event in the most recent GJW and Fading Light. Brimstone has been awarded 3 Seals of Loyalty, 13 Crescents, a Sapphire Blade, 4 Novae, 2 Pennants of Blood, a truckload of assorted seals and merit medals. Brimstone has completed more competitions on his phone than the majority of members in the Brotherhood have completed period. Most Equites bore of the Shadow Academy. Brimstone has completed 38 SA courses as a Warrior, earning 2 Savants, 2 Mavens, and a Dark Pundit.

Not everyone is cut out for formal leadership, but that doesn’t stop Brimstone from being a leader. He is one of the most vocal promoters of the DJB to the outside world, and there is a great intangible benefit to Clan Plagueis that his consistent positive emails provide. Were it not for Brimstone, two members of the Plagueis Summit, Taranae and Misium, wouldn’t be here.

As a club, we like to talk about how participation matters. Brimstone participates more than just about anyone. We talk about how attitude matters. Brimstone is is more positive and encouraging to members than just about anyone. The amount of effort that Brimstone has put into this club is staggering. Brimstone is a perfect example of what an average member can strive to accomplish.

Brimstone has been an excellent role model for members of Clan Plagueis and the Brotherhood at large. His persistence, his dedication, and his effort is more than deserving of the rank Equite 2.

Congratulations Brim, keep up the hard work., ~Viv

What can you say about Brimstone? He’s a machine when it comes to activity. I don’t know of many competitions that have run without Brimstone’s name in the participation list. He doesn’t win all the time but he certainly is always participating. He generally has a positive attitude and is always trying to give suggestions that he thinks will benefit his clan. There is no one else that I know who is completely sold out to the clan like Brimstone is. He’s more than earned this promotion

The Dark Brotherhood is blessed with a collection of members who are dedicated to improving its existence through activity, leadership, recruitment, and promoting the club. This population of membership is often found in the elder ranks, but we do have a very dedicated and small group of younger members who truly stand for all our club is and should be. Brimstone is one of those members. Driven to participate from a phone, a broke laptop, or through any means necessary, Brimstone is always willing to help and support our club. This promotion is overdue and well deserved! Congrats Brim!

Brimstone is an interesting guy. On the one hand he doesn’t always put out the highest quality entries to events. He might not be active on IRC because of his job. At the same time though he proves that someone can be an asset to club and clan without such things. Brimstone is the sort of member who can be an asset simply by being present and active.

First and foremost, to borrow a phrase from a most illustrious panda, Brimstone quite simply does all of the things. He competed in (or at least tried to)all of the events in the Great Jedi War XI and was the first in the unit to finish all of the individual events in both rounds. He also did everything in Fading Light and in our Anchorage clan feud. He regularly competes in other DJB wide events. While he may not place in all of these events he definitely gives it his all.

At least as impressive as his competition efforts is the efforts he puts in supporting the unit as a whole. On numerous occasions throughout the GJW and other times, Brimstone goes out of his way to encourage others. He does this even though most of the time he lacked a formal leadership position. If we could give him the position of captain (Admiral?) of the cheerleading team we would. Wait, Brimstone with pom-poms and a skirt...naaa. But that doesn’t diminish the amount of effort he puts in to push others in the unit to do their best.

All that said, Brimstone more that deserves this promotion. Just no skirts, please god no skirts.
