Mayda Ferium, hard working Rollmaster of Scholae Palatinae, is due recognition of her efforts. Since her promotion to Equite 1 back in early 2013, she has been a fountain of activity, example of leadership, and supporting voice to all she comes across.

As a leader, Mayda has spent the last three months keeping a watchful eye on all members. She has helped council the wavering, direct the lost, and push for greater working relationships between everyone in the clan. She has worked toward greater immersion for our journeymen, in the form of some fun “trial” activities outside of the promotion guidelines that they can use for further character development. She has brought back the Imperial Gazette, a CSP newsletter full of fun articles and new developments in the SW universe. Mayda never shies away from what giving suggestions or input on the projects being worked on, which is incredibly helpful when you’ve started to question if things are making sense.

As a club member, her last two years is incredibly impressive as well. She has participated in 114 different competitions since her promotion to EQ1. These include 27 Independence Games submissions, 12 various Dark Crusade submissions, 7 submissions in the GJW XI, and all 12 competitions of the recently concluded CNS/CSP Co-op Red Fury event. In Red Fury she also finished first overall.

This participation has earned her 46 different crescents, including two diamonds and ten rubies. She has netted an additional 2 Steel Crosses, 5 Anteian Crosses, and a Dark Cross. She has been responsible for new members, and mastering Athrun to DJK. She is also responsible for helping keep other new members in the club, where others had failed.

There are few who can say they’ve put in as much hard work as Mayda has. For her fantastic efforts, both as a leader, and as a member, I recommend she be advanced to the rank of Equite 2. She is more than ready to stand as a Krath Archpriestess. Congratulations Mayda! Drinks are on you!

Mayda Ferium is a large force in the clan and Scholae Palatinae would not be the same without her. She has stepped up as the clan rollmaster and has strived in the position giving the clan all she can for its members. She has reshaped and transformed the student program with new ideas on the table that would not be possible without her. Her dedication to the program has been proven with many students paired up with great teachers chosen using her own expertise. She is a great teacher herself, taking on four apprentices with her effort that has shown positive results with a student promoted to dark Jedi knight.

Mayda has earned an anteian cross for her efforts. She came in first place in the Red Fury campaign along with Clan Naga Sadow. She has participated in 114 competitions and organized 11 competitions. she has clearly shown what being a leader by example is all about with her activity. she has also started up a gaming competitions for the clan which already has sequels with different games to engage our members. she pushes to make these ideas bear fruit and do what is best for the clan, for the members, and what they would like to see from their rollmaster. She has earned eleven crescents in just the month of May which displays extraordinary leadership by example to everybody including the journeyman who look at teachers. She also earned a scroll of the master. The ascension of her student to knighthood is a mark of good teaching on her part as well as an effective program with a great master. Her work with the clan as the rollmaster has brought on many master student pairs that have led to friendships in the clan with a great learning experience for all. She clearly leads by example in addition to taking great pride in her work within the clan. The clan is in a golden age with her tutelage of our mentor program as the rollmaster. This is our future of our clan and Mayda is making it happen for all. She is a great rollmaster and a pleasure to work with and I know that she will continue with the great work that she has done and look forward to working more with her. Congratulations May drinks on you!

Mayda is a very passionate and very dedicated member of Clan Scholae Palatinae. Looking most recently since she re-joined us in the middle of the Great Jedi War, where she stepped up and did everything possible to participate and form groups late as necessary, and put out the highest quality entries she was capable of.

Shortly after, she was willing to help out however she could, offering advice and giving feedback through the whole re-clanning process for Scholae Palatinae, and upon wrapping up those events, she found herself in the position as the new Rollmaster. A role that she has filled in a great way, driving participation from members, and engaging and encouraging them to participate with emailed lists of competitions that are closing soon and reminders of what they can do and surveys and countless discussions with members on what types of events they want to see. She has come to running an endless stream of flash games for the Clan so there is always something to do amongst the different major competitions and events that are going on.

While doing all this, she took the initiative to create a CSP newsletter and form a team and a mailing list that has put out several different issues to the Clan including humorous and entertaining bits to keep everyone engaged in the fun we all have.

She has been a great and highly effective catalyst to the great and abundant fuel of talent and personalities that we have collected together in our Clan. I hope that she continues to find enjoyment in what she does because Equite 2 is only the next step in what she can accomplish as she continues to impress with her skills as a project leader.

Congratulations on your promotion to Equite 2 Mayda, the Pink Nebulas are on me!

Mayda is a truly and uniquely inspirational member of Clan Scholae Palatinae and is without a doubt the most driven member of the organization that I have had the privilege to work with. It is evident that Mayda is a talented writer, graphic artist, and competition planner. She has earned high placements in competitions and a staggering array of awards and crescents. Yet, that is not what warrants her becoming a Krath Archpriestess.

Mayda, simply put, is a proven leader with limitless energy and zeal for her clan and the DJB at large. In assuming the role of Rollmaster Mayda has reinvented the position; not only is emailing all new members and helping them on the path to Knighthood. No, Mayda has taken a person interest and care in all that pass through her door. Example; one member left the clan due to disagreements on the gaming function of the DJB. Mayda took it upon herself to hear out the grievances, work to retain the member, and failing that put in efforts to create a gaming database of all CSP personnel by gaming title and platform. Few would take on such a challenge. Mayda did it because she felt it would have helped a member and vowed to do more, to do better, at retention and forging connections with her people. That is a true leader.

Beyond leadership and personal abilities, Mayda also finds time to contribute to the fun and character that is CSP. She has created numerous small, recurring flash and graphic competitions to try out new models for future usage and to generate discussion. Likewise, she has edited and driven the quarterly CSP news bulletin and article paper out of her own desire to simply give back and her love of writing. Again, few people would take what they enjoy and make it institutionalized as a benefit for her clan. Mayda is one of a kind.

Congratulations Mayda it is a pleasure to work with you and count you as a friend. Drinks are clearly on you.

Out of all of the newer members of Scholae Palatinae, I have thoroughly enjoyed having Mayda around the most. Her devotion to the clan, commitment to excellence in her positions, and her general activity have been a great benefit to Scholae as we made our move back to clan status.

Although she affects the clan in a number of ways, the presence of Mayda as Rollmaster has been a major reason that we have continued to produce a large number of Dark Jedi Knights over the past two years. With her at the helm of the master-apprentice program, we have noticed a significant increase in the number of completed apprenticeships. In addition, her competitions and haunting of IRC has allowed her to develop a number of relationships with the newer members that has spurred their own activity to increase as well.

Overall, I just want to thank Mayda for her spending her time with the clan, and I wish her well as she progresses up the Equite ranks. Congratulations!
