Eiko recently returned from an extended battle with real life, and has taken up exactly where he left off during the Dark Crusade like he never left. His last promotion, coming shortly before the Dark Crusade kicked off, found him smack in the middle of tenures as both Rollmaster of Plagueis and Praetor to the Grand Master. Serving in both positions, Eiko did exceptional work for both the then-house Plagueis and Brotherhood. As Rollmaster he served to oversee the new joins on their progression towards knighthood and saw success with that role, even earning himself a Scroll of the Master for mentoring his own apprentice Shadowkind to DJK. Eiko’s service to the Grand Master focused mostly on the tracking and aggregation of data on units (such as DJK’s generated, overall competition submissions, and email and forum posting activity) for use in the audits of the units for the Grand Master. And then the Dark Crusade added to his load.
During the course of the first two rounds of the Crusade, Eiko participated in every single event offered, 11 in all. On Nfolgai he took third place in fiction, fifth place in assassination fiction, and helped oversee the second place wiki team, while he took second place in the training event on Khar Delba. His dedication and hard work as Rollmaster was exceedingly important in generating the unit wide activity needed in these early participation-driven rounds, and without his effort Plagueis could not have won those rounds (or the Crusade overall given that even one loss would have sunk us). Sadly, after that Eiko was forced away from the Brotherhood by real life circumstances beyond his control as many of us are from time to time.
He always kept in touch during his time away, however, with check ins every now and again to see how things were going. Once everything settled down for him, though, he finally made his triumphant return to Plagueis just in time for the third and final phase of our clan wide Restoration event, the house feud Restoration: Ascendant. He entered seven of the eleven possible events, placing first in round 2 fiction and third in both round 2 puzzle and trivia. He earned 107 total points for House Ajunta Pall and ended the competition ranked 9th overall out of all participants.
Overall since his last promotion, he has participated in 47 competitions while running or co-organizing 15 more. He has earned a pair each of silver and bronze novae and three competition crescents (1 amethyst and 2 emerald). His service as Rollmaster was invaluable, and he was always on time with his reports. He missed out on his reward for his service during the Crusade simply because he didn’t happen to be around when all was said and done, which makes me doubly happy that he’s back to being his old active self these days. I not only get to (finally) get him an award for his service, I get one hell of an active member back to boot!
